Japan, 1557, after the third Battle at Kawanakajima - Day 0, hour of the Dragon
After the failed attempt to take Iiyama castle, the Tiger decided it was time to go back home. While his army was getting ready to march back to the mountains of Kai, Takeda Shingen stared one last time towards the army of his nemesis, Uesugi Kenshin.
"And again, our conflict remains undecided. But I will get you next summer, Dragon."
Shingen turned his horse and galopped back to his army, giving the order to march.

Near Iiyama castle, that same day - hour of the Serpent
After months of battling, the Dragon of Echigo was exhausted. He sat down, thinking about the previous battles and all the good men he lost.
While he was sipping on his third cup of saké, Ayukawa Kiyonaga entered his tent. The general bowed deep for his Lord and waited for a sign.
"Speak freely, Kiyonaga-san," the Dragon said, a gentle expression on his face.
"Lord, these battles each year are drawing heavily on our resources. The mountain just doesn't move. Isn't it time to consider... other means?"
The Dragon's face became without expression when turned towards his trusted general.
"Dear Kiyonaga, only the fact that I hold you dear holds me from ordering you to commit seppuku right away. You are very well aware that I'm a true follower of the bushido-code and I will not lower myself to what you are suggesting."
Kiyonaga stayed calm and bowed deeply for his master. "Please, master, forgive me. I will not speak of this again." Kiyonaga paused, took a deep breath and continued: "Master, wouldn't you agree that it isn't always necessary for a servant to bother his master with asking permission for performing a task. Let's say, a task the master expects his servant to fulfill without the master having to ask his servant, because it's such an obvious task?"
The Dragon calmly looked at the general and replied: "Well, of course. I would even go further. I would expect an important general, like yourself, to be able to fulfill most of his duties without asking my permission. Sure, a report every now and then is necessary and obviouslym it would be foolish not to keep an eye on my most important generals, but all in all, you can pretty much do as you please, well except for ignoring a direct order."
The general nodded. "Dear Lord, forgive me my stupidity, but did you give me an order during this conversation?"
The Dragon looked puzzled. "No, I did not."
Kiyonaga bowed deeply for his master. "If my master would forgive me."
"What is there to forgive? Anyway, you have work to do, so you're dismissed now."
Kiyonaga bowed one last time and left the tent.

Kiyonaga's tent - hour of the Dog
Kiyonaga looked at the silent man sitting in front of him.
"Kato Danzo-san, the Uesugi clan has an important task for you. As you are well aware, the constant battles between my Lord and Lord Takeda Shingen are exhausting our resources. The Tiger of Kai has been an obstacle on my masters' path to glory for many years now and it has to be removed."
The mysterious man nodded silently.
Kiyonaga continued: "Allthough an excellent general on the field of honor, the Tiger is pretty predictable when it comes to his habits during the Winter season. He will probably spend his time in his yashiki (mansion) in Kofu, only surrounded by his best men. Bring me his head and you will be rewarded generously."
Kato Danzo bowed. "So it will be, Kiyonaga-sama."
The ninja master left the tent without making a sound.
Kiyonaga shivered.

1557 - Province of Suruga
Takeda Nobutora took his pencil and started to write:
Dear Nakayima,
Dear Watanabe,
Many years have passed since my ungrateful son has taken control over the Takeda clan.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, they say.
Messengers brought me alarming reports about our clan. My foolish son is drawing heavily on our resources and it seems like he will eventually lose the war against the Uesugi.
You must take action, before it's too late! My son is unaware about your true loyalty.
Bring me the head of the usurper, Takeda Shingen! Once he has been taken care of, I will take control over the Takeda clan and I will appoint the misguided Nobushige as my heir!
Keigu,
武田信虎.
After he had finished writing, he walked towards the cages and attached the message to one of the pigeons.
Fly, little friend, fly.

Welcome to:
~~Swords in the Moon~~
a large mafia set in the period of Sengoku Jidai, as a tribute to the first totalwar installment.
Rules:
I. Basic mafia rules
There are several sides in this game, each with their own goal.
Basic mafia rules apply. For those new to mafia, I'll repeat them here, for your convenience:
Samurai are the "townies" in this game.
The "townies" are the innocent people and they have to lynch the mafiosi (in this game: the ninja) during the day. The mafiosi have to kill a set number of townies each night. When all mafiosi are lynched, the town wins. When all townies are dead, the mafia wins.
Each day or night phase will last approximately 24 hours. This may be extended or shortened due to real life circumstances of the host (that's me).
The townies have to decide during the day by voting who will get lynched. The person with the most votes, will be lynched.
Votes have to be made like this:
Vote : Andres
When you want to switch your vote, you have to do it like this:
Unvote : Andres ; Vote : TosaInu
Please remember to BOLD YOUR VOTES! UNBOLDED VOTES WILL NOT BE COUNTED! No exceptions will be made. Also, REMEMBER TO UNVOTE BEFORE SWITCHING YOUR VOTE; if you forget to unvote, your vote switch will be ignored.
Notes:
* In this game, voting "No Lynch" will be counted as an abstain vote.
* When a tie is reached at the end of the day, the game host will randomly (as in "completely at random") lynch one of the players in the tie. In short: there will always be a lynch at the end of the day phase. Yes, yours truly is very bloodthirsty :evil:
* regardless of your role, you are supposed to be active in the thread. Severe inactivity (no strict rule, but you can take not posting during 4 or 5 days as a basic rule) will be dealt with by WoG ("Wrath of God") which basically means that you'll be killed by the host.
* breaking of any rule will also be dealt with by WoG and a handicap for your team.
II. Duel System.
https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Swords%20in%20the%20Moon/duel.jpg
During the day phase, next to voting, you also have the opportunity to challenge another player to a duel.
If you wish to challenge another player, then you have to do so in this format:
Challenge: Andres
Challenged do not need to be accepted and they cannot be withdrawn; so if A challenges B, then the A vs. B duel will be put on the list of challenges of that given round.
Only the first 4 challenges will be considered. The host will use random.org to pick one of the enlisted challenges.
A player can only challenge one other player each round. Being challenged however, does not mean that you cannot challenge yourself.
To make it clear: A challenges B. A vs. B will be put on the challenge list. A can no longer challenge another player until the next round. B however can still challenge any other player, including A.
The duels will be narrated at the end of the night write-up (the duels take place at the hour of the Rabbit (sunrise), before the new round of voting starts).
The duels are fought to the dead. However, it is technically possible for the duel to end in a draw. If such is the case, either both combattants will die or both will survive.
Every role will get a battle rating that will determine how good your role is at duelling. The outcome of the duel will be decided by rolling dice and luck is involved; which means that even the most insignificant samurai stands a change to defeat a master.
- this duel system was inspired by the Midgard Saga I & II, by Sigurd to whom I owe a very big thank you for sending me his excel sheet :bow:
III. Specific rules
* Revealing your role or character name "in private" (= outside of this thread) is not allowed.
* It's not allowed to quote role pm's or night actions results in private. Feel free to quote all other pm traffic (and chatlogs/e-mails), including mine (unless I explicity state in a particular pm that you are not allowed to quote it) in the thread. You can quote/fabricate/forge anything you want both in public and in private.
* Do not post screenshots.
* The dead are allowed to talk in the thread, but cannot communicate about this game outside of it.
* No post mortem reveal of role/night actions. no post mortem quoting/copy-pasting of pm's, chatlogs or any other non public communication ("non public communication" as in "communication that occured outside of this thread) you had while still alive. Paraphrasing, alluding, fabricating, forging is allowed.
IV. Roles.
- 1 ninja master - 3 ninja : they get 3 kills each night;
- 2 traitors (loyal to Takeda Nobutora, Shingens' father : they get 1 or 2 kills each night;
- Takeda Shingen : has certain abilities (secret);
- 3 sword masters: they protect Shingen at night;
- 1 shinobi : pro-town, secret abilities;
- 2 geisha: pro-town, :eyebrows:
- 1 secret role
- samurai - regular townies - some of them are more experienced in sword fighting than others.
V. THANK YOU
- To my wife, for being so understanding and patient with her crazy husband.
- Again to Sigurd, for giving me his Midgard excel sheet and summary which was a great help for setting up the duel system
- To Olavi for creating my sig. It looks great :2thumbsup:

Thanks for the welcome Andres.
Since you opened the floodgate for me, let me play the role of the shinoobie and ask the dumb question, thus exposing my ignorance of the mafia-style game.
What is the goal of the game? My guess: 1) for the ninjas, to avoid the samurai, eliminate the champions and kill Shingen; 2) for the champions/samurai, indentify and kill (lynch) the ninja assassins to protect their beloved Shingen. Is this essentially it? Is it a team game, individual goals or a combination? I gather the special roles will have powers that will be explained to them at the beginning of the game.
Can you veteran knowdachi help me out here or point me a good thread that explains/demonstrates the game? :clown:

For the most part, you have it down. :yes:
Mafia in its most basic form is an informed minority vs. an uninformed majority. The minority is the Mafia, in this case the ninjas, while the majority is the Town (the samurai). Now, this is not a basic game, as the mafia/ninjas have specific targets other than simply "kill everybody".
Usually, the town/samurai have to do some coordinated detective work (going over posts in the thread, using their host-given powers, etc) in order to kill their adversaries.
I think that sums it up, although I'm sure I wasn't clear/missed something.

1) and 2) are correct.
Mafia is indeed a team game; the problem for the samurai ("townies") however is that they don't know who the ninja ("mafiosi") are, so they don't know who is on their team and who is not.
Special roles will have special abilities. They will know their abilities at the start of the game. They can reveal while they are alive if they want to.
Those abilities can be one of these (or a combination of):
- investigate/watch : each night, the player can investigate/watch one or more other player(s) and will find out if he is ninja or not/what he did that night;
- protection: each night, the player can protect one or more other player(s);
- vigilante: each night, the player can kill another player - the vigilante is a killer on the town's side;
- roleblocking : each night, the player can choose another player and that player won't be able to use his night ability (if he/she has one)

I've always found this thing (http://www.sitesled.com/members/mikeburnfire/mafiascum04.swf) to be a good explanation of basic mafia games. Not everything it says matches the way this particular game is being played, but it covers the foundations pretty well. The Mafia FAQ (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=70374) in the Gameroom is also useful, particularly when you start seeing people using strange acronyms like the ever-popular WIFOM.
Who knows, maybe I do better this time?

The pro town roles cannot reveal themselves nor their night action results in private; they have to do that in public.
After they have revealed in public, they can privately discuss about what they have revealed in public.

Which reminds me that new folks should pay attention to the Mafia Rules (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=100312). Most of those posted are drivel, but there are still many that are worth reading, particularly #1:
Rule 1 : Sasaki is always guilty
Rule 7: Don't trust anyone.
Rule 8: When in doubt, fake some PMs.
Rule 9: Always trust the person you most suspect.
Rule 11: Claim real pms are fake, and fake pms are real. Then distract the town with a new lynch target.
Rule 12: Convince people that you are innocent, even if you are.
Rule 28: Paranoia is good - finally deciding to trust anyone is bad.....
Rule 31: Lynch Sasaki. Just in case.
Rule 41: If Mafioso, build up a fake role from the onset. Reveal at appropriate moment.
Rule 45. If mafia, don't kill Sasaki. He's probably on your side, somehow.
Rule 57: Whoever is organising the secret town discussion group, is always guilty
Rule 60: Always use invisible mode
Rule 65. Never assume the new player is harmless...
Rule 92: No matter how bad things are looking for your team, never give up.
Rule 100: Have fun
Sasaki Kojiro
04-14-2009, 21:26
That rule #1 is not the real rule #1...
btw though, the proper response when someone asks for an introduction to mafia is to lie through your teeth...less factual, more accurate.

I intended to play the role of the village idiot. This village ain't big enough for two, idiot...um, let me rephrase that. This village ain't big enough for two idiots. Don't make me hire a ninja to go after you. I've got some ABC gum and a pencil nub to pay them, so watch your step.
I wonder if ninjas
in game will take
side contracts...
Hey, I said stop

I remember...you got me lynched and I turned out to be detective...
That's what happens to most detectives :laugh4:
TinCow once posted the perfect detective role pm in Scourge of Ephesus :
Detective
You are the detective.
During the night, you detect.
During the day, you have to avoid getting lynched by the stupid townies. You won't, though, because they're stupid. If you're lucky, you'll manage to detect a mafioso and reveal it to the town. Too bad for you they won't believe you and they'll lynch you anyway, making sure to never lynch the mafioso you revealed to them. Stupid jerks.
When all mafiosi and other bad guys are lynched or killed, you get to be vindicated and say "I told you so."
Good luck :2thumbsup: (you'll need it)
the host.

Oh, goody :mellow:
Hmmm...Andres, any suggested material for RPing? I wouldn't mind :beam:
Oh, but there are tons of background information for this one.
I got inspiration from:
- James Clavell's "Shogun";
- the marvelous mini-serie based on said book (the miniserie is also called "Shogun"), which is out on DVD nowadays;
- Eido Josjikawa's "Taiko" (I've been looking for a Dutch translation from "Mushashi", from the same author, literally for years now. If anyone would know where I could pick one up, I'd be very much obliged);
- several movies, most from Akira Kurosawa;
- tons of information on the internet, to name but a few:
* http://www.samurai-archives.com/kvs.html
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sengoku_period
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeda_Shingen
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uesugi_Kenshin
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kato_Danzo
I'm sure you'll find many more links on the time period and the most famous characters from that period in the Monastery.
116 posts and the sign in is not even complete... This will be a monster. :yes:
Yes, I also suggest that you make the first so and so many turns at least two days long because with so many participants the thread will be very, very big, a lot to read and coming to a somewhat sensible lynch conclusion can be hard in one day. You might want to keep the nights short though since there is usually less discussion and everybody just waits for the results. Just my two cents.
The mid-boss was encountered and slain, with the Final one's whereabouts unknown. Still have to dodge sleep-inducing profs, finger-biting hardcovers, and soul-sucking reports, with only a half-full skills set, and much of the secrets and collectibles still undiscovered. Plus the built-in game-guide continuously monitoring my progress and bothering me to check my equipment ever so often. It also demands that I get a hair-cut before chapter's end! The nerve?!
Not even fully rested, a man cloaked in black approaches you and beckons you to follow. No doubt a sidequest, and yet after some hesitation, found yourself approaching the shadows where the mysterious man disappeared into...
Oh, and the game still hasn't given you the option to save...um... post-exam rush?
IN:bow: if you'll have me. A possible replacement if you need one.

Hmm!
Well, I do not want to play the pessimist role, but I can only hope that this mafia game does not follow the usual 58% lurker pattern.
But I don't think I have played any game where the entire sign-up list contributed thoughtfully to the day phase.
If we have an active player base as large as Capo II, this will be very fun... and exhaustive.
Thank you for hosting this, Andres.
Well, I can assure you that I plan to just lurk and idle around.
- Eido Josjikawa's "Taiko" (I've been looking for a Dutch translation from "Mushashi", from the same author, literally for years now. If anyone would know where I could pick one up, I'd be very much obliged);
I have Dutch translations from both. Taiko was a second hand (being utterly picky and spoiled about books, I can't say anything but the previous owner was very cautious). It was really a lucky shot.
Mushashi was piled up by the dozens in a bookstore, new copies. That was back in 1994 though. Deze lijkt er wel op: http://www.boekbesprekingen.nl/cgi-bin/boek.cgi?boek=2102

You are Nobutalkalot, the talkative samurai.
You're not a great warrior, not at all. Your talents are elsewhere. Each morning, you drink at least three bottles of saké. Once you're drunk, you do nothing but talk, talk, talk, talk, talk and you also talk a lot.

- During each day phase, you need to make at least 50 posts in the game thread.

1557 - Province of Suruga
Takeda Nobutora took his pencil and started to write:
Dear Nakayima,
Dear Watanabe,
Many years have passed since my ungrateful son has taken control over the Takeda clan.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, they say.
Messengers brought me alarming reports about our clan. My foolish son is drawing heavily on our resources and it seems like he will eventually lose the war against the Uesugi.
You must take action, before it's too late! My son is unaware about your true loyalty.
Bring me the head of the usurper, Takeda Shingen! Once he has been taken care of, I will take control over the Takeda clan and I will appoint the misguided Nobushige as my heir!
Keigu,
武田信虎.
After he had finished writing, he walked towards the cages and attached the message to one of the pigeons.
Fly, little friend, fly.

Announcement.
I have changed the OP. The changes are as follows:
Roles:
- 1 ninja master - 3 ninja : they get 3 kills each night;
- 2 traitors (loyal to Takeda Nobutora, Shingens' father : they get 1 or 2 kills each night;
- Takeda Shingen : has certain abilities (secret);
- 3 sword masters: they protect Shingen at night;
- 1 shinobi : pro-town, secret abilities;
- 2 geisha: pro-town, :eyebrows:
- 1 secret role
- x veteran samurai
- y samurai
Duels:
- challenges need to be made during the day (and not during night, as originally conceived).

Japan 1557 - Hour of the Rabbit
Rain was falling. It was cold as hell and the strong Winter could already be felt in the air. The Tiger looked at his men who were getting soaked through. He nodded once to his samurai, who all bowed deeply for their master.
Shingen mounted his horse and looked at one of his most trusted followers.
The order to march was given and the small army moved.

Kofu - three days later - Takeda Shingen's yashiki - hour of the Monkey
It was still raining heavily. The water searched his way through clothes and armor and all men were wet and cold to the bones.
"Finally, we're almost there. I'm so looking forward to a hot bath," Watanabe said to the man next to him. His brother in arms simply nodded, too exhausted to say a word.
The men finally arrived and they lined up in the small courtyard of the yashiki. The silent Shingen descened of his horse and calmly waited for his men to line up. He nodded once and all samurai bowed together.
The Tiger (CountArach) watched his men and went inside. Orders were given and those fortunate enough not to get guard duty quickly went inside, out of the rain, which would soon turn into snow, looking for a hot bath and dry clothes.

Kofu - hour of the Rat
The master watched his students.
"Soon, it will start snowing, master. All roads to and from this place will be blocked. How will we get out of here after we have taken care of Takeda Shingen?"
The master looked at the pupil.
"You are a fool to speak so openly! Ears and eyes can be everywhere."
The disciple fell on his knees and bowed deeply for the master.
"Forgive me, master. I am an idiot."
"Yes, you are. As for your question, you already know the answer. There is no other choice."
The three students understood and bowed. They waited for the master to give them their orders.

Nakayima watched his brother as he came into the room.
"It started snowing, Nakayima-san."
"We probably won't get out of here alive."
"There's no greater honor for a samurai than to die for his master!" Watanabe said.
"Honto."

Ok guys! We're almost there. I hope you're all as excited as I am :2thumbsup:
I will now temporarily lock this thread and distribute all role pm's (64). It might take a little while, so be patient.
Please do not communicate with other players about this game until this thread has been re-opened again.
The game will start with a night phase, so there will be no voting or duel challenging in the first round. Use this night phase as an opportunity to get to know each other. If there are any questions regarding your role, feel free to ask them through pm. If you have a question related to the rules or game mechanics, feel free to ask them either in this thread or through pm.
Note:
As you may have noticed in the above write-up, the gods of random.org, in their wisdom, have given the role of Takeda Shingen to CountArach.
Obviously, you cannot vote for Lord Takeda Shingen. Any vote for CountArach will not be counted.

Not to worry, master Sasaki; my weapon will not go unused. However, it is a fool who prattles on endlessly without cause. I do not wish to play the fool this time. My blade will serve Lord Takeda Shingen, but I will keep it sheathed until the time for justice has come.

Not true. The purpose of the game for townies is to find the mafia roles. You were trying to find other roles. Non mafia roles. This is what mafia try and do.
Well, it wasn't "finding roles". It implies I put effort into something where I didn't. It is also far too early for any investigation. The names are random generated.
What would be common-sense, a Mafia role would never do anything odd. If anything, they will pretty much just lurk in the background while all the townies accuse each-other or make people suspect another person.
Though, you seem to be chasing after me for no real reason, it just means you are trying to get an innocent out the way and any suspicions away from yourself. Might as well paint a Mafia role mark on yourself and say "Lynch me!"

Wise men say, sometimes good people make foolish mistakes.
I seem to recall that in a certain game, a man claimed detective. This person died, for no one believed his early claim. However, he said that he was detective because no one counter-claimed him. But... only foolish detective would counter-claim the man who claimed detective so early. Better to remain hidden! The claiming man was on the side of good, but he make an error which cause a bad lynch, and goaded important role into revealing, which is not good.
Wise men say, try not to say a thing which will hurt your entire team and confuse them, and pull not a man from Sparta.

~~~ Swords in the Moon ~~~
Night 1 - Conclusion - first blood.
https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Swords%20in%20the%20Moon/shinobi.jpg
Hour of the Rat.
After his last cup of saké, Ii Naomasa (Khazaar), started to feel drunk. He yawned and walked to his room.
While he was taking off his kimono, he heard a sound on the opposite corner of the room. He unsheeted his wakizashi and slowly walked towards the sound.
He didn’t notice the shady figure behind him, carrying a razor sharp katana.
The shady figure pierced the katana through Ii’s back.
Ii Naomasa had hardly noticed that the sword had pierced through his chest, when the sword struck a second time, decapacitating him.
The killer continued by chopping of both arms and legs of the already dead samurai.
After he had done what he came for, the attacker whiped his blade clean on the kimono of his victim and left the room unnoticed.

Hour of the Rat
Takayama Ukon (spL1tp3r50nal1ty) was soaked through when he finally could leave his post.
The veteran warrior nodded to the samurai who was coming to relieve him.
“The rain turned into snow,” he said to the younger samurai.
“I noticed that, old man,” the younger man said, a bit brutal.
Takayama Ukon was displeased by this lack of good manners of the younger samurai. Sure, technically, they held the same rank, but as a veteran, Takayama deserved more respect from the younger man.
“It is not wise to disrespect the more experienced.”
“Indeed, it isn’t,” the other one said, nodding.
The nod he got in response was hardly noticable and therefore a great insult.
Takayama however was cold and tired and he didn’t feel like making a fuss about it. He decided to talk about it tomorrow and, if necessary, he would challenge this idiot to a duel, so that others could learn from his dead.
Without even a nod, Takayama turned his back to the young samurai and walked away.
The poisoned shuriken in his neck ended his life within seconds.
The young samurai walked towards his victim. “It’s not wise to turn your back to your enemy.”
He quickly covered the body with snow and resumed standing guard. It didn't take long before the real replacement arrived. The killer bowed respectfully to the other samurai.
“I’m grateful that you finally made it. I’m off for a hot bath and a warm bed. See you tomorrow.”
After this words, he bowed and quickly turned around. The other samurai couldn’t see his face.

Hour of the Ox
Kikuya (Lord Winter) took of her kimono and started to put on her make-up.
“Now, that’s a surprise!” a manly voice said.
Kikuya dropped her make-up and picked up one of her hairpins.
The man laughed softly. “That won’t help you, darling.”
Kikuya jumped forward, the hairpin aimed at the man’s chest. He quickly jumped aside. Kikuya felt the wakizashi entering her lungs. A hard and well placed kick made her fall on the floor. The man watched her as she was suffocating in her own blood. He bowed towards her to take a good look at her face.
“What a waste,” he said, regret in his voice. The wakizashi in her throat, mercifully ended Kikuya’s young life.
The masked samurai left the scene unnoticed.

Day 1 - Traitors among us!
https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Swords%20in%20the%20Moon/snowlandscape.jpg
Hour of the Rabbit
The Lord of the Takeda stared through the window and looked at the magnificent landscape, covered in snow. He was looking forward to a long, cold Winter, in the company of good men, great stories, laughter, games, special "entertainment" and lots of saké.
The noise at the courtyard disturbed his inner peace and he decided to go take a look outside.
When he entered the courtyard, he saw his men lined up, three dead bodies lying in front of them.
The Tiger looked at the bodies and back at his men.
"What happened here?" he asked.
Nobody seemed to know and all men bowed deeply for their master.
"It seems like there are traitors among us!" he walked towards the bodies and took a closer look.
"Maybe even ninja! Ha! Did the Dragon turn into a snake, I wonder."
Lord Takeda sighed.
"You are my most trusted men. It saddens me that some of you are not who I thought you were. Since I don't know who the killer is, we will have to try to find out through a discussion and through voting. Each one of you will have one vote. The person with the most votes at the end of the day, will be killed."
Takeda paused and then continued: "If one of you thinks that a man is guilty beyond doubt, but that man doesn't seem to acquire votes, then you are free to challenge that man for a duel on life and dead. At the end of the day, my dice will decide which duel will be fought."
The Tiger nodded to his men and sat down.

You got me. I'm mafia if I don't do that. How did you know? :grin: Oh wait, I was mafia in the Fight for Inishmore and I did do that, several times. I must have changed my strategy... now if I'm mafia I won't offer to be lynched. But, knowing that you'll probably figure me cunning enough to change my strategy, I might keep it the same, and so therefore I must be innocent if I haven't offered myself for the chopping block. However, if I say so out loud, then it's wine in front of me, and that means I should be lynched anyway just to make sure. But then again, since I've said that, I'm likely a samurai, and therefore would be a bad lynch. But then again, I'm cunning enough where I could say that, and still be a ninja, and so therefore I must be guilty. You see, I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons. And so, in that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits, for the princess, to the death. All you have to do is divine from what you know of me; Am I the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet, or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
And so on and so on, I drink the wine, *ack* Blaaarg I am ded.

One round of kills is nothing more than anecdotal evidence.
IC:
In the morning, Yoshi-san moves through the crowd. He is upset as one of his closest allies, a noble samurai which he joined the protection forces with, was killed in the night by assassins.
As he walked down the street, he sees a suspicious person lurkiing behind a box. This is going to be a face to remember.
A few hours later, he walks into a sake bar, to see that face again. Yoshi-san heard his name being mentioned with a loud whisper by some greazy-looking samurai. It was that face from earlier. The slimey samurai looks up and licks his lips towards Yoshi-san with his fork-like tongue.
Yoshi-san walks out of the sake bar, picking up his equipment and donning his straw hat."That man is either a fool or working with the assassins, though he is most likely both."

Reasons:
Yes, mafia definitely manufacture excuses about why other people are scummy to make themselves look clean.
...they will pretty much just lurk in the background while all the townies accuse each-other or make people suspect another person.
Though, you seem to be chasing after me for no real reason, it just means you are trying to get an innocent out the way and any suspicions away from yourself. Might as well paint a Mafia role mark on yourself and say "Lynch me!"
I was fooling around, it is impossible to sush out roles before the game has even started. However, with you trying to jump the gun at me and it pointed a big bulleye's head on you being a Mafia role trying to take advantage of me fooling around when everyone was perfectly safe.

I think you owe me for your blunder in the Settlement game, thanks. I mean, it's flattering to have a stalker, but maybe you can focus your attentions on a NEW person this time? Otherwise it's not as fun to join new games and get the same results.
