Also I think alot of u have skimmed over or forgot about this post:
It appears the protections were in at the time of this post. So unless the one wiseguy or the rebels had the foresight to protect Zigman then he was protected by Bala.Some answers...
When a player that was presumed dead comes back from protection the town will be told they have returned - since they were protected, when they die, I will not reveal anything more than they were a citizen.For the most part, the majority of the town will not know the status of the returning player.
- If it was mafia protection then the one wiseguy that protected the player will know and that player will be a wiseguy, not able to communicate, but get the blackmail details from the Don.
- If it was rebel protection, then all of the rebels will know, plus that player will become a rebel.
- If it was bala protection, then only the bala will know.
The protections are for lynch's. Anyone can be protected. If a wiseguy wants to protect the Don and the Don get's lynched, then a wiseguy will be promoted to Don and when the player returns, they will be a wiseguy. Now the ex-Don could have been protected by the bala, but not the rebels. The ex-Don would return as a wiseguy or a mafia citizen.
If the rebels and the wiseguy protect the same person there is no protection. If the rebels protect the Don or a wiseguy, there is no protection. There will be no double agents. No player that was a wiseguy will return as a rebel and no rebel will return as a wiseguy. They may return to their original "team" or be citizens. They will not turn. The Don, the wiseguys, and the rebels will return from protection if their own team selected them or if bala sselected them.
I hope this clears this up.
By the way, there are protections for this first lynch and I will need tomorrows protections before nightfall. If for some reason your protected player does not make it through the night, you lose that protection. (you were a day late!)
Part of me wants to tell the player they are being protected, but am unsure - I think they should know. Also there is no rule against voting for yourself.
I hope this clears this up. For the record my plan to mod a game was to keep it simple with some twists.
Speaking of twists, is that blue mist coming from the east?
