ok im going to come clean on the contract stuff regarding dusk because i'm not sure what to make of it and i'm not sure if it is even relevant. I didn't get the same contract as dusk, but I did get the same contract as Ullar. If we both accepted, we would have become lovers with a one time commute action. Ullar obviously rejected it, which meant that the contract was nulled before I had the chance to make a decision. I was considering accepting because it was possible that we wouldn't even have to do the post restriction, as that would only apply after we each used our commute action. Of course its risky because me and Ullar had no idea if the other was town or not, which is probably why Ullar rejected it. My theory was that Duskfall also received a similar lover contract because of the similarity of the post restrictions (Scottish for dusk, Italian for me/ullar), and I was trying to claim that I received the same contract in order to lure the other lover into talking about it, but it seems that is probably not the case.
I still read dusk as scum, but less so atm.
If it is true that everyone can make contracts, my guess is that there is a scum or 3p role that gets stronger for each contract that is accepted or something like that.
