If you're Restraining someone overnight, are they also Protected (can't be killed by stalkers)? I'm guessing no xD

Hmm, that's a good question, actually. It would make sense if they did get protected, but I'm not sure it was our intention to have two skills with the ability to protect. Obviously picking this one means you can't escort NPCs during the day, and picking the other means you can't restrain.

Sorry to be annoying but I'll discuss it with Neo and get back to you. XD

Haha no worries. It logically makes sense but I totally get why its better for the game for that not to happen, to keep the skills distinct. I'm just interested what would happen if someone you were restraining was killed. xD Maybe you could lose sanity or something since you would usually restrain suspected stalkers (I assume) and if they get killed then you were way off the mark and you may have even made them easier for the Stalkers to access. Feel the guilt!!! xD

OOOH Sarah, wanna join the team? ;3 Ahaha no but really, that's a cool idea. :3 So it could be opposites: protect the restrained, or make them a larger target for the Stalkers. >:3

@Pokemon Trainer Sarah - Turns out they do get protected! However, unlike Protect, instead of keeping a kill from happening at all, the RNG will reroll and kill someone anyway--just not the pokemon you're restraining.

Sorry if I missed this in the rules thread, but how long can we expect the day and night cycles to be? Is it like in real time or can we expect it to cycle every few hours or? Just wondering how quick we need to be to submit actions :) *excited*

**Caite-chan** · 02-24-2017, 12:27 PM

How often can we search in a cycle? I've searched once and got my outcome from it.

Sorry for the late reply, Sarah! In response to both of these, only one action in a cycle. The standard cycle's action submission period is 48 hours (meaning you all have 48 hours to submit actions) and then we get all the time in the world to respond to posts, then once we're done, the night cycle will begin which is also 48 hours. However, if everything gets done before then (including people submitting their actions) then the cycles won't go for that long. It all depends on you, the players, and us, as the narrators. :] This will help us not to get backed up with tonnes of posts, and it'll also ensure that people can't keep posting actions over and over (thereby preventing 'first in best dressed').
