Doused someone in jail

[qippy]

I doused someone in jail but after I ignited, they didn't die. Is this a new update??? It said my ability failed because they were jailed but it showed the doused symbol. It used to kill doused ppl that were in jail before. Arso's douse is unstoppable tho? Does this count as a bug? I didn't take a screenshot of it unfortunately.

Reproduction steps if known: I just doused someone while they were jailed.

Platform(iOS or Android): Android

As far as I know this was an intentional change that was added long ago to prevent jailors from jailing mayors every night to protect them from the arsonist. It's weird that you got a message saying your ability failed, though.

The ignite is an unstopable attack, the douse is not. If your target were jailed at the time you lit them up, they would've died.
Jailing preventing the douse/visit to be successful was implemented around 2018 with a revamping of the visiting system, so its quite some time ago.

Since this appears to be a bug report of something that isn't a bug, its incorrectly located in Ask Questions. I'll go ahead and move it to not bugs.

Ohh ok, thx for ur replies

The douse indicator still appeared despite the fact that the target was not actually doused. Shouldn't this still be categorised as a bug?

That's intended behavior as far as we're aware.
