Dip Directions?
In episode 11 of the Diplomacy Games podcast Kaner and I discussed longevity aspects and risk management of sites like webDip and vDip to ensure they grow and reduce the chances of going down (either technically speaking or perceptions of IP infringement). We said we'd create a thread for this for others to contribute. What do you reckon?

Ok... Why? Scum can ask all the questions they want in their QT. They already know how all of the interactions work.

It's about making them think about questions they may not have thought about, Ezio.
Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
I guess... Problem is there are gonna be a bunch of townies who haven't asked those questions either. I generally assume my opponents are playing optimally, and for them to not ask these questions in the Mafia QT is just wrong. I figured I would get the information out into the open. I will not do this in the future, but I will tell you if there's some fun stuff you can do with your neat powers.

##GM Note:
@Ezio: A night kill will only stop actions happening after it in the order of operations.
@Ezio2: From the first post:

"The oldest vote determines which member of the Mafia team actually performs the kill."

GM NOTE:
Also, in case this was not covered, "Paranoid" is always on. A person with the "Paranoid" modifier has no control over it.

Guys if paranoia is roleblocked the roleblocked DIES

What *exactly* happens if an Oracle is Lightning Rodded - do they "visit" and die? Do their dreams get pulled off course?
Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
@DO this isn't fair. I just whispered those questions to the GM's. Why does HR get to ask in the thread?
Durga (3609 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
Who's HR? Never heard of him.
Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
:( You're mean.
Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
@HR The developer will dream of themselves. The oracle dream does not count as a visit so they should not die.
Jamiet99uk (758 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
GM NOTE:
@HellenicRiot: If a lightning rod is in effect and there is an active Oracle, the Developer would dream about themselves. The lightning rod effect does not directly cause any deaths.
Durga (3609 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
Honestly the only person dying is you, babe. Shall we go out Romeo & Juliet style?
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
18 Jan 17 UTC
No, but it means that you *can* activate Lightning Rod... just don't say til 30 seconds before EoN. Warden won't die; so it's irrelevant for him. And as long as I'm online I can change my save right up until the deadline - if you trigger it, I'll no save and thus not be affected. If mafia think you're going to trigger it, they'll not roleblock and thus if you don't do it; they waste it. Or you take a scum out with you and pull up to 2 ML's rather than ML + 1. Win/Win/Win.
Durga (3609 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
That is a great plan.
Ezio (2181 D)

We also have to worry about Kak.

Just got off work. Sorry for not seeing the switch to xorxes in time, but glad everything worked out.

I mentioned this earlier but I am glad HR brought it up again. If DO has lightning rod and paranoia we can be guaranteed to take out another mafia member tonight.

Also, WD mentioned he got hit by motivator last night.

##Call GM
How long does the motivator power last and is there a use limit?
arj11 (254 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
Honestly, I think we are in decent shape now. With DO we can take one mafia out tonight and the next night we have the potential to get two dreams out.
Ezio (2181 D)
18 Jan 17 UTC
No we can't be guaranteed to take a Mafia. If they don't go for a NK, they won't lose a member. We do have a fun little guessing game...
WardenDresden (239 D(B))
18 Jan 17 UTC
I mean, they either kill her and lose a member, or leave DO forever alive to help lead the town here. And they're forever under the threat of losing their hooker to her paranoia+lighting combo. This'll be a very interesting EoD/SoD in the morning.
Durga (3609 D)

Pls let me live :)

Motivator is a one-shot action.

GM NOTE:
Motivator is a one-shot Day action which has effect the immediately following night only.

I'm a little confused as to how you would use the word phantasmagorical/phantasmagoria/etc. I understand the words meaning, but would it be used as a negative connotation or positive connotation?
