Heh, I was waiting for them to kill me. Forgot to PM the dodge to Moose, oh well.

I was wondering about that. There hasn't been a successful dodge yet. Did everyone use it at beginning, or are you all saving it up until later? I was going to use it yesterday but I forgot to, so I'm going to use it tonight.

In case no one has notice, I feel it's important to note that the theoretical physicist is a night action. So you might want to stop waiting for a rewind to happen today that isn't going to. And starting voting, etc.

Oh gods, this is hilarious.

Wtf? That should really be specified in the role. That's laaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

[11:46:28] Moose: Does TP make sense as a night action
[11:46:52] Moose: Cuz what..... we write a post and reverse that?
[11:47:15] Moose: Or if it isn't interfered with it comes first and we reverse a day and night to have the previous night?
[11:47:53] Dapperdan: hm
[11:48:02] Dapperdan: the main idea of the role
[11:48:07] Dapperdan: always seemed to be
[11:48:12] Dapperdan: to fix a townie lynch
[11:48:27] Dapperdan: not to reverse night hits
[11:48:36] Dapperdan: because...
[11:48:47] Dapperdan: then there's like 6 people that the town can completely trust for at least a day
[11:48:49] Dapperdan: hmm
[11:48:52] Moose: Yeah
[11:48:59] Moose: But if it reverses time and it ends up as night
[11:49:04] Moose: Doesn't really fix a lynch
[11:49:30] Dapperdan: hm
[11:49:38] Moose: And there still is the matter of do we have to write a giant night post before time reverses
[11:49:51] Dapperdan: I guess
[11:49:54] Dapperdan: the time of the night action
[11:49:57] Dapperdan: is the problem right nwo
[11:49:59] Dapperdan: now*
[11:50:04] Dapperdan: it should be before mafia hits?
[11:50:12] Moose: Well, basically I want it so that
[11:50:19] Moose: If he isn't hit, he uses it right away
[11:50:23] Moose: But if he is hit..... it doesn't work
[11:50:47] Moose: So we don't have to write the post
[11:50:49] Moose:
[11:50:59] Dapperdan: ok
[11:51:21] Moose: Then the last person lynched is un-lynched
[11:51:24] Moose: And the previous night undone
[11:51:42] Moose: And all actions for that night are resubmitteD?
[11:51:53] Dapperdan: everything would have to be redone
[11:52:00] Dapperdan: for that night
[11:52:25] Moose: It is kind of imba to have it reverse time to day
[11:52:36] Dapperdan: how so
[11:52:46] Moose: Six trusted townies running around at day
[11:53:28] Dapperdan: well how else would it work
[11:53:44] Moose: The way we plan to work it
[11:53:45] Moose:
[11:53:52] Dapperdan: ergg
[11:53:57] Dapperdan: ok
[11:54:05] Dapperdan: if we reverse time starting at night
[11:54:18] Dapperdan: and go back to the beginning of the previous night
[11:55:02] Dapperdan: the mafia still gets another 6 hits... just the available trusted townies could dodge... umm
[11:56:01] Dapperdan: the only way there aren't 6 trusted townies running around
[11:56:05] Dapperdan: is if
[11:56:11] Dapperdan: we reverse time
[11:56:16] Dapperdan: a full day cycle
[11:56:26] Dapperdan: and not back to the previous night
[11:56:33] Moose: Only day?
[11:56:43] Dapperdan: mmhm
[11:56:56] Moose: Naw
[11:57:06] Moose: That's too much change to the role
[11:57:08] Dapperdan: then we need to let 6 trusted townies live
[11:57:15] Dapperdan: again
[11:57:55] Dapperdan: leave the role the way it is
[11:58:02] Dapperdan: just specify that it reverses time
[11:58:07] Dapperdan: to the beginning of the previous night
[11:58:16] Moose: That's already implied
[11:58:19] Moose: Because it is a night action
[11:58:28] Dapperdan: well it's fine the way it is then
[11:58:44] Dapperdan: unless
[11:58:48] Dapperdan: you were considering
[11:58:53] Dapperdan: making it a day action as well
[11:59:06] Moose: That would be imba 7 trusted townies running around
[11:59:20] Dapperdan: that happens the other too moos
[11:59:24] Dapperdan: moose
[11:59:27] Moose: No, it's night
[11:59:31] Moose: The mafia gets a chance
[11:59:35] Moose: To kill quite a few of them off
[11:59:38] Dapperdan: o yeah
[11:59:38] Moose: Or kill off other townies
[11:59:40] Dapperdan: ok
[11:59:41] Dapperdan: doh
[11:59:50] Moose: I'm gonna post a log of this in the topic
[11:59:56] Moose: So everyone is aware of this debate
[11:59:59] Dapperdan: ok
[12:00:03] Moose: And why it can't be a day action

It was listed as a night action. Yes, it wasn't specified that it couldn't be used during day, but we can't change that now. Not that it wasn't pretty well implied that it couldn't be used during day due to the fact it was listed as a night action.


What are you talking about.

If TP tries to use his power and is not hit, meaning his action is successful, it will take place immediately. A new night post will not be written before time is reversed.
His action will reverse time to the previous night. All actions and hits for that night must be resubmitted. A new night post will be written for that previous night.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, if TP fires the time machine on night 3, time is shifted back to night 2, wherein all of night 2's powers/hits must be resubmitted? Clarify, even the tl;dr version is confusing because we're dealing with time travel.

Also, if time is reversed, and then the TP is killed during the period of reversed time, wouldn't that create a paradox?
