right, so, tell-all time it is. as I've mentioned, I am Ampharos, the dashing wanderer! ... but like, not as in the mafia role that apparently also exists and is called that. never heard of that one in my life previously. (although I sure as hell am stowing that list Herbe popped up with somewhere, I'm sure I'll be able to use it for many inscrutable and malicious GMing purposes-). no, rather, the thing is... well, let's be blunt, the whole Dashing Wanderer thing is a positive spin that Ampharos puts on the fact that he is, like a certain character that postcedes him in the Pokémon franchise, pants with directions. he is, in fact, so absolutely ditzy, that there's more than one scene in which he just sort of walks right into everyone around him while trying to figure out which way he's actually supposed to go
and that is the foundation of my role. each night, I can "bump into" a player, and then, if that player visited someone else or was visited by someone else, I "bump into" that other player as well, so and so forth but exluding repeats; at the end of the day, I'm informed of how many people I bumped into. nothing else, just the headcount.
I can also make some pretty goofy choices vis-a-vis who I can target with this power, incidentally, and I was informed of that upfront on my PM without even asking. N0, I put one of those goofy choices to use and targeted myself; however, I turned up a measily count of 1, presumably indicating that I visited a player, ie me (the fact that my target player was visited by me is not counted in the final number). N1, I considered checking out Herbe but it seemed like a crapshoot (if they were lying about the pseudo-oracle thing they would presumably avoid taking trackable night actions afterward if they possibly could), so I indulged my curiosity and tried out the other of my goofy options: checking out the discardee role. since that turned up a count of 0, I presumed that the public notification of "tampering" came from me; I wouldn't remotely describe what I was doing as "tampering" since it was a measly info check, but as best as my info held no one else targeted the discarded role on the same night.
... and then, this night, we have another "tampering notification", but I didn't target Herbe. so that's what's puzzling me, although having thought more about it, I suppose I should figure that the "tampering notification" occours anytime any role targets a role that isn't presently fully in the game, and it was just me checking out Shelmet last night, while tonight someone was snopping around Herbe's cadaver unbeknowst to any info my role pulls. and boy, my role has really not pulled much info of any use up until now, huh
all I can offer up is that I checked out qenya last night, eyebrows aheft about her weird wobbly EoD yesterDay, but as I'm walking in with another 0 in my hands, either she's telling the truth, or she took care to lie in a way that would match her night action patterns to a role like mine. which is why I've been taking my sweet time sorting through that claim, because it's so absolutely crucial to solve for toDay that I determine which of those two it is. but I suppose I'm just going to get pounded in the butt by the EoD again if I keep taking so long with shit, so, time to get decisive. ... just give me like, another couple minutes-
would be bad to get this far and lose through apathy
