Anyone who actually plays a blood cult round knows that they can easily win already especially since they can already teleport around. Even a single cultist, who isn't completely new, can win a game by just using a rune to summon a ghost.

They clearly don't need the ability to summon all cultists at once since it's really only used for the summoning rune and nothing else. Maybe if a cult leader wants to fuck over his team then he'll do it at a different situation however those are usually new players or people who really hate dying.

I think a PR is underway to make it so that you can’t instant summon in a summon area.

You're supposed to use it if everyone gets captured at once

No, it was specifically added to solve the problem of disorganized cults not being able to get 9 people to stand on a rune.

Which honestly if they cant do they dont deserve to win. It is a lazy spell, added by Robustin to solve a problem that didnt need to be solved.

Maybe the real question is, why force 9 people to be together if you have to force them to do it? It's not interesting to stand around a circle and it's even less interesting to be forced to do so. IOW, if you remove recall, remove the 9-needed requirement for summoning Nar-Nar.

It's important because it requires cultists to defend the rune as a group instead of having one person wall themselves in with a rcd

If standing on a rune sounds like it's just tedious, doing so while being actively under attack is nearly impossible and cult rounds have been won and lost depending on how prepared the cult was to defend the summoning site

You can't just delay the attackers, you have to REPEL them and it's a great climactic ending to the mode especially if the two teams are somewhat evenly matched

It can still be like 4 or 5, that's usually not too hard to accomplish assuming the cultists are reasonable. Alternatively introduce a price to teleporting, such as serious damage, long stun times, or what have you. It really depends on what the actual problem is.

Robustin made it a while ago and it staled. I meant to steal it. Looking at the merge conflicts with it right now, but it's a bit of a pain in the butt.

Oh, Pickles gave it a shot recently but he gave up. I'm gonna get it working now and PR it, standby.
