WW CXLVIII - Ancient Infection - EVIL WINS!

"All right, everyone listen up. I know everybody's talking about it, so rather than say it a hundred times, I'm going to explain it once. Yes, I'm the one who smashed the radio. And in fact before I got to that I also scuttled the boats. Yes, Davis, I know that maroons us here. I know that quite well. You can all yell at me when I'm done. But right now you need to understand why I did it. And since there's no way off the island unless you want to take you chance on a dinghy, and no way to contact the mainland, you've got time to listen.

"We're all aware of the incident with Maroney. He almost killed Dr. Davis here, and in fact was killed himself in the struggle. Dr. Mangold investigated the body, and she's reported to me what she found. Maroney had some sort of infection in his blood, not something that any of the medical staff here recognize, but perhaps to blame for his sudden aggression.

"Yes, yes, I understand, that's why we all want to get off the island. But there is more to it than that. As you know Linda was also acting strangely and is under quarantine. Examination of her blood suggests she is suffering from the same ... infection. But more importantly, Dr. Mangold found a wound on her body that might be the site of infection. She says it appears to have been inflicted. It is in fact some sort of bite. Yes, I hear you Davis, another great reason to get off the island. But let me continue. The bite appears to be human.

"Human, folks. And more importantly, Maroney had a similar bite on him. I think as you are all aware, there is nobody but us on this island. As part of the survey that Professor Stern and his team have done, we can be quite sure that we know what is on every square foot of this island. So I am afraid to tell you all that those bites came from one of us. In fact, given that Maroney and Linda were on opposite ends of the island last night, it appears that those bites came from two of us.

"I want to tell you one last thing now that I have your attention and your silence. You all aware well aware of the mummy from site 48. It is in fact why we are all here, what many of us have been working our whole professional lives for. A fantastic find, a beautiful find really. You're all aware of that because I know each one of us has visited the pit and looked at it ourselves.

"Which makes what I have to say particularly troublesome. Today I went out, despite the work halt, and looked at the excavation, at our amazing mummy. What yesterday was an amazingly preserved specimen of prehistoric man is today a set of half rotted clothing and some dust. There is hardly a sign that it was there.

"Those of us who have been studying the tablets and the writings of these ancient people may recall the curious drawings of a creature moving from one form to another: mouse, wolf, woman, man. I think that mummy has assumed the form of one of us. And it has the ability to do something to the rest of us. Change us. You can call me crazy, you can curse me for sinking the boats. But there is no way I am letting any one of us leave this island until whatever this thing is has been taken care of.

"Unfortunately that won't be easy. Doctors Davis and Mangold are working with the blood sample from Linda to see if they can cure this infection. Professor Davis and I are studying the tablets we had uncovered for clues to the nature of this ... thing. In the meantime I am afraid we can't trust any one of us. I don't want to see anyone in a group of less than three. Keep an eye on your coworkers, even your friends. Some among us don't belong here. And unless I'm sure every single one of them is gone, we will live out the rest of our short, miserable days right here on this island.

THE BASICS

-Don't quote any PMs directly in thread
-Don't talk about the game outside of the thread
-Don't edit your posts during the game
-Vote by writing VOTE NAME in bold in your post on its own line
-Unvote by writing UNVOTE NAME in bold on its own line
-Nightfall votes will be accepted but will have to be unanimous, and once entered your vote may not be changed.
-Tie votes will be settled by a mysterious ancient process

SUMMARY

There are three main bad guys, the Mummy and his two Transformed. The Mummy knows all the bad guys, but the Transformed only know each other. Each night the Transformed can bite a player. If successful, that player becomes Infected - they join the bad side and now have the possibility of making a night kill.

However, the doctors and nurses on the good side will be trying to find and cure the infected, while others attempt to get rid of the Transformed and Mummy for good. Two professors search for Evil, and on Night 3 a Mummy Hunter will be created from among the villagers.

Meanwhile the Lovers make their own attempt at victory, by reaching end game together.


There can never be more than one night kill in a night. Which Infected makes the night kill is random.
The Infected do not know any of the other bad guys. The Transformed know who they have bit but not if it is successful or if they have been cured. The Transformed do not know The Mummy. The Mummy knows all.
The only bad guys who can communicate are the two Transformed.
Infected lose their vote until they have made a kill. They will still vote in thread but it will not count in the results.
The Mummy Hunter appears on Night 3 and can begin searching for The Mummy on Night 4.
While the Mummy is still in the game, Transformed who are lynched or killed will be replaced if there are Infected available to move up.
While there are still two Transformed in game, and if the Mummy has not been attacked by the Infected, the Mummy cannot be lynched (but will be revealed upon a lynch).


VICTORY CONDITIONS

Evil: Monsters reach equal numbers with the rest of the players. Only The Mummy and the Transformed count as Monsters, all other players count for Good parity (even Infected).

Good: Kill The Mummy and all Transformed

Lovers: Both Lovers stay alive to the end of the game.


THE ROLES

Evil:

The Mummy

The Mummy knows the identity of all Evil at all times. The Mummy does not learn the former roles of the Infected. Each night, starting N1, The Mummy may select either himself or one of his two Transformed to boost a vote. The target will now have a vote that counts double for the next day. If a Transformed's vote is boosted the Transformed will learn this at dawn. The Mummy does not have to boost a vote if he chooses not to.

The Mummy is a brutal Evil, and so may choose one player to kill on his way out of the game upon death. The Mummy can only be lynched if either 1 or no Transformed exist in the game. (The Mummy may lose these two abilities if targeted for nightkill, see The Infected section). The Mummy counts as Monster for purposes of Victory conditions.


2 Transformed

The Transformed share a chat and count for parity. Each night, starting N1, they may target one player to bite. A bitten player will be converted to an Infected. A player that was bitten loses his former role abilities (if any). The bite will not be successful if a Transformed has been lynched this day. There is only a 50% chance of success if one of the Transformed was downgraded to Infected the night before (see Infected section). Transformed will not be informed whether their bite was successful.

As long as The Mummy is alive anytime a Transformed dies or gets downgraded the oldest surviving Infected becomes a Transformed. If no Infected exist then nothing happens and the number of possible Transformed in the game will be reduced by 1. Transformed cannot be cured, even if they are downgraded to Infected. The Transformed count as Monster for purposes of Victory Conditions.


X Infected

The infected are those who have been fed on by the Transformed. They develop an unhealthy hatred of humanity and a rather aggressive nature. Those who have been Infected are now on the Evil team and win with Evil. However, it is possible for them to be cured (see Doctors below).

The number of Infected in the game can change but starts at 0. Infected may not chat with each other, and do not know the identity of any other Evil. However, every night each surviving Infected may target one player to be killed. Only one of the Infected, if there are more than one, will perform a kill. The Infected to perform the kill will be determined randomly every night.

If the Infected attempts to kill The Mummy, he will instead remove one of The Mummy's abilities. The first time The Mummy is targeted he loses his partial immunity to lynch and will become lynchable even if two Transformed exist. The second time The Mummy is targeted he will lose his brutal ability. The third time The Mummy is targeted he will die. The Mummy will be informed when he loses his abilities.

If the Infected attempts to kill a Transformed, the Transformed will be weakened and downgraded to Infected status. The Infected who makes the kill will feed on the potent blood of the Transformed and be promoted to take the Transformed's place.

A Infected's vote does not count until after the Infected has managed to successfully kill one player at any point in the game. An Infected does not count as Monsters for Victory Conditions.

The Cultist

Someone has unleashed this horror on the island. Someone who loves terror or hates humanity. The Cultist may target a player to view for Professor/Not Professor each night and will receive a random negative view on N0. The Cultist cannot be infected. The Cultist does not count as a Monster for Victory Conditions.


Good


2 Professors: Professor Davis and Professor Liechting

The professors of archaeology are quickly becoming experts in the nature of these evil creatures and how to identify them. The Professors can target a player each night, starting N1, to view for Evil/Not Evil. A positive hit will be received for all types of Evil including The Mummy. The Professors will receive a random negative view on N0. Professors cannot be infected by the Transformed.


2 Doctors: Doctor Mangold and Doctor Rinehart

The Doctors can target a player each night, starting N1, to cure them of Infected status. Only Infecteds that have never been Transformed can be cured. Once cured the target player goes back to his former role and alignment. Doctors will not be informed whether they successfully cured someone or not. The Doctors cannot be Infected.


2 Nurses: Nurse Donovan and Nurse Michaelson

The Nurses can target a player each night, starting N1, to view for Infected/Not Infected. Transformed and The Mummy will not return as Infected. Each Nurse works with one Doctor (Mangold to Donovan, Rinehart to Michaelson) but does not know their identity. The result of the nurse's views will be sent to their Doctor anonymously each dawn. If one Doctor is killed the remaining doctor will receive both nurse's results. If one nurse is killed, both Doctors will receive the remaining nurse's results.


Mummy Hunter:

On Night 3 a random villager (if any are left) will piece together enough understanding of the monster they face and become the Mummy Hunter. The Mummy Hunter may target a player each night to view for Mummy/Not The Mummy. If he finds The Mummy he will kill him but it takes him a full day, thus The Mummy will die the night after he's been found. The Mummy Hunter counts as 1.5 villagers for purposes of Victory conditions, so if there is one Evil and the Mummy Hunter left at the end, the good guys win. The Mummy Hunter cannot be infected.


10 Villagers:

Villagers have no special abilities. They can be bitten and become Infected and eventually Transformed. They can also become the Mummy Hunter or a Lover.


Other:

The Lovers

All that time together on a small island, leaning over those dusty excavation pits. It's only natural that romance blooms. Two of the players in the game are Lovers. They are randomly determined at the beginning of the game, regardless of faction or role. The two lovers are aware of each other's identity, but may not communicate privately. A Lover always has a vote that counts, even if they have become Infected.

The Lovers win by both surviving to the end of the game. If this happens they actually steal the Major Victory from the other winners. If one of the Lovers dies before the end of the game, both lose. If both Lovers die before the end of the game then they win or lose according to their original factions.

Lovers still count as Evil or Good for other Victory Conditions.


MISCELLANY

Miscellaneous Rules:

Roles are always revealed upon death, this includes former roles of Infected.

Order of night actions:

1 Bite
2 Cure
3 View
4 Kill
5 Vampire Hunter creation

Victory Conditions will be checked after each action phase.

A player that is bitten and subsequently cured in the same night will not learn he was a Infected for a short while, neither will The Mummy be informed of this. A view of such a player (professor or nurse) comes after the cure so it will be negative.

A Infected that was downgraded from Transformed status will not be viewed by a nurse as bitten.

***This game includes the possibility of conversion, unconversion, and reconversion. Those that are Infected are on the Evil team, though they know it is possible they could be Cured and returned to good. It is in the spirit of this game to play fully for the team you are on at the time. In other words, while you may hope you get Cured and rejoin the good guys, it wouldn't be in the spirit of the game to reveal to everyone in order to be cured. While you are evil you are expected to do your best to help the Evil team in whatever way you can. If you are Cured, then you are expected to do your best again for the good guys.***

Just to be clear, if you want to be in the game make sure you say so, I don't want to assume anyone commenting in here is in.

I will try to get the rules up tonight sometime so you can see what you're getting yourselves into.

[Julio Riddols]

I'll keep playing. Can't get better/familiar if you don't keep playing.

If this starts on Monday I can't do it.
I'm hoping/expecting to be able to get back in WW mix for a game starting after 6/11.

[Danny]

I may play. I always enjoy playing, but i also am easily aggrivated right now so it may be best if i sit out. If the wolves kill me night 1 it would probqnly be ok lol

[Autumn]

Rules are posted, and the Whatnot. It may seem pretty complicated at first, but it's really not.

This ruleset is designed for 20 people, so I hope we can get that together. Because god knows what I would do to try to trim it down.

[Autumn]

If we have 20 by Monday I would start it then, yes. Start time will be a bit flexible until we see how sign-ups will go.

[Danny]

Or you guys can just deal with the moody version of me lol.

He's still alive, that must be bad. ;)

That's a very wolfy thing to say, isn't it?

I promise I will vote for GE this time.

[Julio Riddols]

I like the rules and roles by the way. Amazing how much easier it is to understand whats happening when you have played a round or two. When I used to check out this forum back when I was just a curious lad, I used to sit there scratching my head trying to figure out exactly what was going on.

[Chief Rum]

I'm in.

[JAG]

Looks confusing and different. So we'll see what kind of wacky theories I can make for this one.

In.

[CrimsonFox]

Crimsonfox is banned from the game for posting videos in the thread before I've even posted rules.

I don't want your STD anyway

[CrimsonFox]

Evil: Reach equal numbers with the rest of the players. Only The Mummy and the Transformed count for Evil parity, all other players count for Good parity (even Infected).

X Infected

The infected are those who have been fed on by the Transformed. They develop an unhealthy hatred of humanity and a rather aggressive nature. Those who have been Infected are now on the Evil team and win with Evil. However, it is possible for them to be cured (see Doctors below).


These two rules don't match.

[Danny]

I think they do though, infected count as good for win numbers, but win with team evil?

[CrimsonFox]

Ahhhhhhh! I see. Thanks.

[CrimsonFox]

This game reminds me of the Thing a bit :)

[Danny]

I'll play. I just need Crimson and Narc to keep my company in the middle of the night as that is my relaxation time.

[Narcizo]

Hoops mailed me and said that he's in. Some killjoy has hacked his account and posted all the stuff about not being able to be in on Monday. But that's just crap.

IN

Sounds a bit like an old-skool WW game.

[Narcizo]

So we'll see what kind of wacky theories I can make for this one.


To the power of 5.

[LoneStarGirl]

GE is in, but he's out of town on the 14th so let's make sure we lynch/kill him by then

[Autumn]

These two rules don't match.

Yes, I meant to go back and see if I can find better wording.

If yo'ure Infected, you're on the evil team and you win if they win. But you don't count as an EVIL for purposes of figuring out who won. I think i'll change the wording to MONSTERS to make it clearer.

[Autumn]

GE is in, but he's out of town on the 14th so let's make sure we lynch/kill him by then

For real? That he's in, I mean.

[Autumn]

CF, you are going to play, right?

[Danny]

Autumn i am in

[CrimsonFox]

CF, you are going to play, right?


I can't. I've been banned. I would otherwise. Cause apparently I have to keep Danny company.

[Autumn]

Well, since it was the Monkees, I guess I'll lift the ban.

[Autumn]

This game reminds me of the Thing a bit :)

Yes, this is very much inspired by The Thing. I thought of doing a straight Thing sequel, but the mechanics differed enough that I decided to just do something inspired by The Thing.

[CrimsonFox]

That makes the second one inspired by that cause Evil Dead Game was inspired by the Thing Game as well :)

[Danny]

Just read the rules, by random you mean crimson and i will be lovers dont you?

[CrimsonFox]

Just read the rules, by random you mean crimson and i will be lovers dont you?

I was just thinking Danny and his package would be lovers for sure.

[Danny]

That wouldnt be fair, my package is immine to night kill and lynch, just have to worry about infection

[JAG]

Autumn, is it a 1 or 2 deadline game? Usual deadline time?

[Danny]

I needed a new sig

[CrimsonFox]

I hate you.

[Autumn]

Autumn, is it a 1 or 2 deadline game? Usual deadline time?

Ah, good question. It will be two deadline, probably 9pm EST and 10pm EST.

[Danny]

Too bad, i much prefer one deadline

[Danny]

Ah nvm i misread, oke hour apart is gOod

I've gotten to the age where I tend to ignore my birthdays and get my vicarious birthday thrills through my kids. But thank you anyway.

[Narcizo]

Autumn, PM Abe and tell him that the game is based on some obscure D&D ruleset. That should hook him in.

[cougarfreak]

I'll give it a shot.

[Narcizo]

Get them thar roles out tonight Autumn so I have something to do tomorrow morning.

[JAG]

I'll give it a shot.

Cool, good to see you back.

[Autumn]

Awesome. I'm going to conscript Jackal then, unless someone comes to steal his spot this evening.

Narc, I wish I could get them out tonight, but I'm going to be out at a friend's (playing Fiasco, which is awesome). If I happen to get back early and am awake I will try, but they likely won't go out until during the day tomorrow.

[Autumn]

I will see what I can do about tonight though. So please be ready for a possible start tonight and a Monday 9 pm EST deadline. If I dont get back soon enough tonight, first deadline will be Tuesday 9 pm and roles will go out in the morning.

[Danny]

Just in case we start tonight and I don't get on

Vote Hoopsguy

[cougarfreak]

Cool, good to see you back.

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around some of these games, but I'm off of school, so I have some time.

[Autumn]

All right, I'm going to sign Jackal up and end signups. I'll work on getting roles out now.

I will post here when roles are all out and game has begun.

[Danny]

I just realized Hoops is not playing. Voting him was my reason for signing up, so I am out.

[Danny]

Out of this world awesome that is!

[Autumn]

Passacaglia, you're pulling a Crimson Fox. By which I mean your PM box is full.

[Danny]

Wolf

[Autumn]

Allow me to remind everyone of a few things.

Read the rules!

This game will include conversion of players from one team to the other. The spirit of the game is to play for the side you are currently on. So while an Infected has a chance of being cured and brought back to the other side, they should try to make all decisions while Infected with the benefit of the Evil team in mind.

Read the rules!

Deadlines will be 9pm EST for lynch vote, 10pm EST for Night actions. Reasonable conditional orders will be accepted.

There are no roles or rules that are not spelled out on the first page. Feel free to ask for clarifications of rules, it's quite a different set.

[Autumn]

All roles have been sent. Please let me know if you didn't get one, or have any questions.

Game is on. First deadline is Monday, 9 PM EST.

[Danny]

SO only the infected make kills? The mummy and transformed do not?

[Autumn]

SO only the infected make kills? The mummy and transformed do not?

Correct.

[Passacaglia]

All roles have been sent. Please let me know if you didn't get one, or have any questions.

Game is on. First deadline is Monday, 9 PM EST.

I didn't get a PM!!!!!

[Darth Vilus]

I guess it's time to read the rules now

[bhlloy]

You and me both

[britrock88]

So we have 4 evil to start (though the count is 3:16). Time for full disclosure? :D

[Danny]

Nah think we have 3 evil to start

[Danny]

But i got the herpes role, i infect everyone i vote for.

Sp tp start
Vote crimson

[Danny]

Unvote crimson
Vote jag

[Danny]

Unvote jag
Vote chief rum

Three players have the herpes now

[Narcizo]

It's alright everyone! I'm here to save the day.

There are 4 evils - Mummy, 2 transformed and the cultist. The Mummy knows who the other three are, the transformed know each other and, I guess, the cultist doesn't know any of the others.

Autumn, does the cultist know the identity of any of the other evils?

Anyroad. I've a feeling that this is going to be a role-driven game. And there is no bodyguard so we need to avoid having anyone reveal. So we should just lynch bad guys or, at a pinch vanillas.

[Narcizo]

I was tempted by the idea that a no-lynch would be the best policy on day one, but in retrospect I don't think so.

Positives to no lynch:
Avoid pressuring roled villagers into a reveal
Mummy can double an evil vote, so has better chance of steering a vote
Multiple conversion possibilities make voting records less useful

Negative to no lynch:
Nothing to go on on day one, thus not much for the seers and seer-lites to work with
Evil have incomplete information on each other so they will be less able to save themselves if we luck onto a baddy.

I think that the negatives outweigh the postives in this (and most other) cases.

The Mummy double vote probably means that we need to create some space between the vote winner and second-place. People around at deadline will have to step up - I bet nickle to dimes that the mummy would love to turn a village-village contest into a tie to get us chasing our tails for a turn or two.

[CrimsonFox]

Danny, Danny, wherefore art thou Danny?

[CrimsonFox]

But i got the herpes role, i infect everyone i vote for.

ick! I got Danny cooties!

HA ha!

[JAG]

So we should just lynch bad guys or, at a pinch vanillas.

That's a plan I can get behind, though I think it's better if we lynch a bad guy. Only 10% odds of picking a Transformed today, but if we get lucky, we can take one out before they infect anyone.

There are going to be all sorts of irregularities with voting since the Mummy is able to boost a bad guy's votes and infected people don't have a vote until they make a night kill (though we won't have to worry about that today). I think there was another voting oddity but I can't recall.

[Narcizo]

Hopefully the business with infected not getting a vote will help us/the nurses narrow down the field on the infected.

Not actually 10% chance of getting a transformed of course, as the other transformed and the double-voting mummy might be able to help out but still. Better yet (almost) 5% chance of finding the mummy.

[JAG]

We don't have to worry about a double vote for today though:

Each night, starting N1, The Mummy may select either himself or one of his two Transformed to boost a vote.

[JAG]

Autumn, does anything happen if the Transformed bite the Mummy?

For now, I'll just pick on people who have stated something about the rules incorrectly to see if they're trying to lead us astray.

VOTE DANNY

That said, we have a 15% chance of success (between the two transformed and the cultist), which is pretty meager. So if I help make a no-lynch happen later in the day, I'm okay with that.

[Narcizo]

Vote Britrock

a) wolves are less likely to post/make rule slip-ups.
b) ~20% chance of success. Even if we can't lynch the Mummy we can find out that they are the mummy, which is pretty useful. Look! Irony!
c) You will NOT help a no lynch vote happen, thank you very much. :)

I am here! Definitely about to reread the roles. My mom is in town and GE broke my laptop so I'm on the IPad and I'm in and out all day, plus I'm having minor outpatient surgery tomorrow at 12. I don't want to be 'Chubby'd' if I'm not as talkative this game as I was last.

[The Jackal]

You are ok with a no lynch, Brit? Even though lynching a transformed on D1 is possibly the best thing that could happen during the game? Sure it's a low chance, but like Gretzy said, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

[Passacaglia]

I got a PM!!!!

[Passacaglia]

Sorry about the full inbox, Autumn.

Vanilla villager here.

[Passacaglia]

No lynch is interesting. If I'm reading the rules right, there's no N1 kill, since only Infected can make kills? That leads me to feel like no lynch might be a good option, though I have no specific reason.

On the other hand, I think a big reason for a lynch is that the Transformed don't know who the Mummy is, so they won't be working to maneuver the vote to defend him. Right?

Hmm. Wait. Rules say the Mummy can only be lynched if 1 or 0 Transformed are in the game. Autumn -- what happens if the Mummy gets the most votes and both Transformed are in the game, then?

[CrimsonFox]

I got a PM!!!!

YYYYYAY!:banana:

I'm so glad there isn't any long list of complicated rules to read and learn.

[Autumn]

Hmm. Wait. Rules say the Mummy can only be lynched if 1 or 0 Transformed are in the game. Autumn -- what happens if the Mummy gets the most votes and both Transformed are in the game, then?

He will survive the lynch.

[Passacaglia]

Does someone else get lynched instead? Do we get notified that that's why he survived the lynch? What happens if there is a tie?

No one else gets lynched. You will be told why the lynch failed. You don't know.

The transformed only know each other. Outside of them, there are 2 evil, 6 roled villagers, and 10 VVs. They do get to bite and infect someone tonight, removing any role they previously had. And the presence on an infected in the game does give the transformed reinforcements in case one of them is lynched, making it hard to successfully lynch (that is, kill) the mummy.

So there are advantages to lynching a transformed, absolutely. But my objection remains that we're taking nothing more than shots in the dark on Day 1. That said, I'd certainly acquiesce to a lynch -- the villagers grow restless, as always.

[Danny]

There is no way I vote no lynch

[Danny]

Though I will say reading votes is going to be fairly difficult in this game, so since this game neutralizes one of my best assets, I think the wolves should let me live until the end again!

[Passacaglia]

The first time The Mummy is targeted he loses his partial immunity to lynch and will become lynchable even if two Transformed exist. The second time The Mummy is targeted he will lose his brutal ability. The third time The Mummy is targeted he will die. The Mummy will be informed when he loses his abilities.


So even if one transformed is killed and that power becomes valueless, that's still the first thing he loses, or if one transformed is killed, does he lost the real power first?

[Passacaglia]

You don't know.

If The Mummy is attacked by an Infected for the first time, but has already lost his lynch resistance (due to the loss of a Transformed), nothing happens. He will not lose his Brutal ability unless attacked twice, either way.

So if a Transformed is downgraded to Infected, does the new Infected count as having made a kill?

What's Vampire Status?

Do the nurses get to see their own scan results, or do they only go directly to the doctors?

[Autumn]

The island of Wetar hosted a fabulous thriving culture over two thousand years ago, yet the remote island has been deserted for almost all of those millennium since. An inquiry to the nature of the Wetar culture and the cause of its demise was the reason for the research colony of which you all are members.

Many fabulous artifacts of the Wetar people have been recovered in the months you have been toiling her. But it seems that all your work will be for naught if none of you ever leave the island again.

Downgrading a Transformed does not count as a kill.

That should have said (and now does) Infected status.

Nurses see their scan results as well.

[Passacaglia]

I think I know what you're trying to say here -- but the Infected who becomes a Transformed doesn't need to have made a kill -- the former Transformed, now Infected, does. Does he just swap roles with the former Infected, and get a kill only if he had, or does the "getting a kill" follow the actual person? And what if someone gets Infected, makes a kill, gets cured, then becomes Infected again?

[Passacaglia]

And if the Mummy is lynched, does he lose an ability?

[Autumn]

And what if someone gets Infected, makes a kill, gets cured, then becomes Infected again?

The actual player would have to have made a kill as an Infected to get a vote while Infected. This considers the entire length of the game, so if one was cured and then Infected again, and had previously made a kill, that would still count.

[Autumn]

And if the Mummy is lynched, does he lose an ability?

No. Other than the ability to convincingly state he's not The Mummy.

Guys, there is no way anyone should be thinking about no lynch. If a transformed dies when there are no infected (and right now there are none), there can only be one transformed at a time.

I agree with your general point and that we should lynch, but I think as long as there is at least one Transformed, they will have the same ability to produce one Infected each night. Even when there are two Transformed (as is the case now), only one Infected will be produced per night from their actions, as the rules appear to state they work together and pick one player to Infect.

Ok, finally made it to the boards, and after catching up, I see a typical day 1 crapshoot is in full effect. Apparently a no lynch is a no go, so I'll look into things a little more later in the day to see where things are headed.

Just everyone stay calm and lets watch the way people mill about the dig site. The infected and the Mummy should all have a distinctive gait about them - If we're very observant, we can ensure that no more of us turns into whatever Maroney turned into. Its only a matter of time until someone comes looking for us with the radio destroyed as it is.
