riding desc should use the term roleblock

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: title

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: also, maybe we can change riding hood so that it blocks wolfpack poll and also roleblocks its killer, even if it was killed by wolfpack poll (instead of only blocking its killer if it wasnt killed by wolfpack). That just removes a few conditionals to make it slightly more consistent and streamlined

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts: makes sense

<@458727748504911884> do u have any opinions on this?

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: mm okay wait

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: are you just making sure the technical terms are used here?

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: or are you actually making it so that rh rbs pack AND nonpack

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: instead of poll manipping pack and rbing nonpack

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: The main reason it matters is a weird interaction with the proposed changes to direwolf, where its extra kill is a personal kill.

So if it uses its personal kill, it's roleblocked and can't use the poll kill or personal

If it kills with the poll, only the poll is removed and it keeps the personal kill

shapechange: alright i need to do a rewrite of that desc huh

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: ill look at the ability types in general at some point

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy:

or are you actually making it so that rh rbs pack AND nonpack

Proposed change: It always blocks it killer (if wolfish) regardless of pack kill or not

Keeps: if it was a pack kill, remove the poll next night

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: okay i think i get it

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: yeah that seems fine

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange:

we should maybe consider renaming role blocking to ability blocking

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: Ok, should I make a pr or is more discussion required

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: i think since this functionally changes very little you can just make a pr

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: https://github.com/McTsts/Werewolves-Roles/pull/1235

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: oh i should probably say "day and night" instead of "night and day"

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:

good point

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts:

https://github.com/McTsts/Werewolves-Roles/pull/1235

seems good, can we merge it?

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: its called roleblocking in most mafia servers so its a well understood term

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: but ability blocking makes more sense because it blocks stuff under the ability section

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: i know why it's called roleblocking, but GENERALLY (this is a GENERALISATION) in mafia you can't have multiple roles as default - and yeah, your second point is the major reason

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts: https://github.com/McTsts/Werewolves-Roles/pull/1236

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts: made a pr for it

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: then i would need to change the riding hood word as well

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy:

https://github.com/McTsts/Werewolves-Roles/pull/1236

need to also change this file

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts: oh yea

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: so in the riding hood pr ill change it too

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: i think this is good to close

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: dont close it until ive reviewed the pr

[CrowdfordBot]

mctsts: Merged.
