wierd thing as Arso

[Tamir901]

Hey,

as an arsonist i doused jailor n1 and another townie visited me that night aswell.
night 2, i ignited and killed both townies, and another, diffrent townie visited me that night i ignited.
in the GUI it showed that hes doused (the jerican symbol), and when i tried to ignite the guy who visited me n2, it didnt do it.

is it a game mechanic i am not fammiliar of?

There are only 2 ways to be undoused: either you are an arsonist, who can stay home after being doused and clean yourself (arsonist is the only role that gets a message when they are doused) or you are protected by a guardian angel, who inmediately cures you of poison and cleans the gas off yourself. Maybe one of those things happened?

It was on ranked normal

Then I guess you doused the visitor after igniting.

That is how it works.

The ignite happens before the visitor is doused, so he doesnt die. If you ignite the following night, he dies.

Basically, whoever is doused at the start of the night you choose to ignite, will die. Anyone doused on the night you ignite, wont die until your next ignite.

In the case of multiple arsonists:
lets say people visiting an arsonist are ''indirectly doused''. People an arsonist visits are ''directly doused''
When you choose to ignite, anyone previosuly doused (directly or indirectly) and anyone directly doused that night, will burn. Anyone indirectly doused on ignition night, wont burn until next ignition.

It just the prioritising of how the douse takes effect
