Frequently Asked Questions:
(Moved to its own thread because the roles and rules thread is fucking long enough.)
Q: If the Weretiger wins, does everyone else lose?
A: Yes.
Q: If The Vampires and the Wolves target the same person during the night, what happens? Does the target become some kind of monster wolf/vampire hybrid?
A: Nope. Night Priority (outside of items) is Wolves > Vampires > Other Kills > Other effects. Meaning, the Wolves act first, so the vampires would arrive the same night to find only a dead corpse, wasting their turn. Or, if the wolves used that night to TURN their target, and the vampires did the same, bad luck for Dracula, because he just bit into a wolf, which kills him. (And the newly minted wolf.)
Q: Can I bid on two items at once?
A: Yes. But you'll have to split your money. You can't bid all your money on both items, hoping to win at least one if you're outbid on another.
Q: If I scry a player who dies that same night, do I get to rescry?
A: No. Although normally this is impossible during a *real* game of wolf, I have decided that making it possible for seer-types to waste their turn is good for game balance.
Q: Wait. I'm confused. What roles overlap, and which can't?
A: NEVERMIND ABOUT THIS NOW ONLY INNOCENTS CAN START WITH ROLES
Q: So, who can the Weretiger be?
A: Literally, anyone. It is the last role I roll, and overlaps with EVERYTHING. The only exception was the village idiot, but that doesn't exist anymore. So it's entirely possible for the Weretiger to be either Dracula or just a plain innocent with no other powers.
Q: If I'm a seer type, and I have an item that also is used for scrying, can I do two scries in the same night?
A: Yep.
Q: When can I bid on the AH?
A: The AH is open during the day and the following night. Once I update, the items for sale are gone, so get your bid in before that.
Q: If I lose the bid on my item, do I lose my gold, too?
A: No. I will only send you a PM if you win the item. If you receive no PM, assume you lost the bid and your money was returned.
Q: What happens if there is a tie in the bids for an item?
A: I roll it off.
Q: Can I trade an item to a team mate/another player?
A: No. However, thief abilities might be able to set up a trade intentionally.
Q: Can I send PMs to my team mates/people I have scried and wish to share information with?
A: Sure. Just make sure you include me in any and all Private Messaging. Also, be aware that information sharing can be very, very dangerous, especially if you're the Seer. All it takes is one of your circle being turned to drop the entire group into Vampire hands.
Q: Help! I don't know how much gold I have!
A: I keep track of everyone's current gold. If you're curious, just ask me in PM and I'll tell you. If you want to keep track yourself, you start with 10 and gain 2 per day, unless your role/items dictate otherwise.
Q: If I am robbed, will I know it/who did it?
A: You'll know you were robbed. Who did it, however, will remain a mystery.
Q: How many wolves and vampires are in the game?
A: It varies depending on the total number of players. However, You can safely bet on about 1/3 of the players being evil at the start. This may seem high to you, but remember that the Wolves and Vampires also fight each other, and frequently use their kills and powers likewise.
Q: Is the PI compelled to accept the highest Bidder's job?
A: Nope. He can even opt to take no job at all. But since his only source of income is working, bidding high will increase your chances of getting him to work for you.
Q: If the PI is turned, can we just use him as an additional seer-type?
A: Yes, sort of. The PI has professional pride and won't work for free, even if he's a vampire or werewolf, so you'll have to still "bid" at least 1 gold. Also keep in mind the PI may receive higher offers from other players and may opt to accept those jobs instead of a team job.
Q: FRIDAY AFTER I DIE I WANT TO KNOW EVERYONE'S ROLES
A: No.
Q: FRIIIIIIIDAY I WANT CHEEEEEVOS
A: That's not a question, but OK? I added achievements into the game by popular demand. They don't actually affect anything, so don't concern yourself overly with them.
Q: What happens if a player has a death shield (teddy bear) and is turned?
A: Sadly, Teddy Bears do not protect you against being turned.
Q: What determines the MVP and Most Stylish Player awards?
A: My whim, basically. I mean, I try to be objective, but in the end it's pretty much solely up to me who gets it. Play effectively, creatively, and stylishly and hope for the best!
Q: Do I have to use items I win right away, or can I save them?
A: It depends on the item, but usually yes, it's your choice when to use an item. If you want to use it the same night you win it, you need to stipulate as such (and who the target is, etc) with your bid.
Q: Just to clarify, seer-types go after vampires/wolves right? So if the person I scried had been turned the same night I'd have seen it?
A: Yes. Seers see all changes that occur that night. They go dead last, even if the scry comes from an item. You will always scry the target "as they exist in the morning" so to speak.
Q: Can I stockpile wolfsbane? How does it work?
A: Wolfsbane is an item you can buy if the baner is still alive. It works for that same night you bought it as if you were being protected by the baner. (Which means it blocks their attempts to kill you or turn you, but not a wolf using an item on you.) You can't stockpile it, and it only lasts for one night. However, if the baner is still alive, you can continue to buy it every night as long as you have enough gold.
Q: If the greater werewolf "kills" the wolfsbaner, does the auction house still sell wolfsbane?
A: Nope! And since there won't be a dead wolfsbaner, everyone will know you're now dealing with two G. Wolves.
Q: Does the scry reflector also apply to the PI's "scry"?
A: Yep!
Q: Can dead players talk/can I talk to dead players?
A: Nope.
