This is a blatant scam. It’s important that you can’t cast any four-letter spell then be left with the runes to throw it all in again; in this case, you could just cast PORT and POR alternatively, as long as you met the food-related requirements, which would give everyone huge power to scramble up everyone else’s runes.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, as I have no intent to scramble anyone’s runes. Honest. I can wholeheartedly and truthfully assert that this is not a scam so that I, or anyone, can scramble others runes.

Sure, but it’s scammable either way. CoV

More to the point: now I’ve pointed that out, people would use it, leaving the gamestate pretty much irreparably scrambled.

Yup. 

Heh, OK OK, it was a scam… but not THAT scam.

The idea was not to screw up workbenches, it was to let someone give someone else PROUST and end the game quickly.

Also, SOS would still protect against this.

Lol, gotta love when a scam is sitting right in front of us like this.

This is my first attempt at a game-altering scam… I figured even if people saw through it, they might let it go since people seem to want the game over. ;)

Ah well, I’ll just have to learn to be more subtle with any future scams.

FYI, If ya do wanna scam I’d go with one that involves a loophole in the rules. During the Pirate vs Ninja dynasty, there was a treasure hunting type rule but it was badly written so instead of having to tech go to where the item was, in this case a wheel that granted victory, Purplebeard said that by just having the map he was able to get the wheel and claim victory. Loophole scams, IMHO anyway, are more legal and in the spirit of nomics then this little scam attempt lol.

Gotcha. Even though this was exploiting a loophole in the rules (workbench manipulation for yourself is a timed action, but NOT timed via the PORT spell), it required an additional modification to make use of it. I’ll look for pre-existing holes in the future.

If your one to read history might I suggest reading about the Chronos Affair scam? Without a doubt, the best scam in BN’s history lol. Course I forget what dynasty that was in. One of the factory ones I think.

@Darknight: First dynasty of Bucky. 

Knew someone would figure it out lol

If at least one person CoVs, this fails.
