Oh daisies :(
Are duels verses dead players allowed? @_@Quote:
Challenge each and every pever
I'm sorry guys. But its great fun! Join us! :yes:
Look on the funny side of it at least.
Are duels verses dead players allowed? @_@
Well errm probably not, I wouldn't worry anyway the outcome of a duel is unlikely to affect you...
Besides GH is only allowed to issue one challenge... I don't see him using it on a dead player...
I'm still going to challenge them all out of total irritation. If they're cowardly enough to not see that I seek battle with them and challenge me to a duel, then let them live with that shame.
There, that's my RP attempt for the week.
Then I shall challenge you GH!!
Hoo ha *karate noises*

I sincerely hope that Sigurd just couldn't find the time to participate in our game - any RL drama that might have kept him away from us is not deserved by such a fine man. Really. :bow:
I voted for him (second, before the bandwagon) after Louis' lament, missing his brilliant analytical skills, with which lament I agreed.
In my experience, Sigurd can parse posts, and assign accurate motivations, better than anyone I have seen. I think it comes from his training in formal debate; he really can 'see' and understand all sides of an issue/problem. A quiet atheist, he easily slipped into the "God exists" mode in an ancient backroom debate thread - just because it was his assigned side. He muted the opposing view in less than 4 posts/exchanges.
I hoped that seeing his name bolded, if he quickly scanned this thread, would propel him into exercising a bit of his expertise. Didn't happen.
But, I don't lose hope; Sigurd has been known to speak (sagely) from the grave, so we may yet see contributions from him.
I can relate to ajaxfetish's sorrow:
I can read and participate in mornings and evenings (my time; the rest of the day is work-type afk-time). It's why I'm determined to get a vote in on day-phases before work, even on flimsy evidence (ala my vote for Glen d1; sorry Dude; no 'fense). I committed to the game, so I'll play it through. I don't understand why anyone does any differently. Lynching lurkers at start-game may not have proven a wise strategy, but I admit: it makes me feel good. And I've seen lurkers come out of obscurity in the end-game, only to SURPRISE! win, then gloat about it.Quote:
Dang it, I missed the voting. I've got to figure out how Andres' schedule fits together with mine. Looks like the deadline's while I'm at work (not a job I can post from, unfortunately), so I'll either have to post my vote well ahead of the cutoff and miss all the last-minute info and any coordination attempts, or miss out on voting. Bummer.
It's always amazing to me at Dénouement, to learn there were other conversations, and forums, and strategies operating, independent of the game-thread - while ignorant little townies like me get snuffed one-by-one, cuz we can't guess correctly who the bad guys are. I hate that. And I love that. It's why I play.
Well. This got longer than I intended.
Sorry Sigurd. Hope all is well.
RE: Name Changes
Put your cursor over their current avatar name in "hover" mode without clicking. Previous names are listed (:inquisitive: I don't think that's mod only, but....)
RE: Duels
GH, you may need to split up the work, you'll get volunteers to assist.
RE: "Defensive" response to pressure votes.
Most of the time, even as mafia, I will respond by withdrawing my pressure vote when the subject has made a useful response (like it as a defense or not). The real purpose is to draw them out and have evidence available for later. Drawing them out and hammering them anyway regardless of what they say is a bit too mafioso-like. Please note, I think Tincow and Kukri usually are pretty good about withdrawing pressure votes.
RE: Votes
Tis night, fellow samurai, sleep well.
Hovering names over avatars doesn't show me there previous names, must be mod....
Nope, mod only. I'm an AM and I don't see anything.
OOC: I've got a question for the panel that is causing me some confusion in trying to sort out roles with actions that have taken place: From the role call in the OP:
Is that readQuote:
1 ninja master - 3 ninja : they get 3 kills each night
1) "3 ninja, one of which is a master ninja"?; or
2) "1 master ninja and 3 regular ninja"?
If it is #1, then what is the probable benefit of the master ninja apart from assassinating? If it is #2, then what is the likely purpose of the master ninja?
Thanks for any clarification Clan Takeda can provide to this humble servant. :bow:
#2 I think, and probably investigation immunity.
Does that then mean that the master ninja's only purpose is being hard to ID? What does that do to the outcome of the game if the regular ninja are dead? Is it game over (keeping the traitors out of the equation for simplicity), townies win?
It's probably similar to a Godfather mechanic popular in other games - if and only if the ninja master is the only bad guy remaining, he can personally pick up the slack and kill.
He may have ab-whaling ability as well. Remains to be seen.
:laugh4: That made my night. This Personal Finance paper is so not getting finished...
Sorry for missing the end of the round and not updating my table, I was asleep. :sweatdrop:
Had an early night as night before, I went to bed very early to get up earlier to do some revision for the exam I had yesterday.
Though, what is amusing, people accused of the Stephen Asen vote to be a bandwagon, yet Sigurd vote was the bandwagon. :clown:
Well, because its been publicly posted about in at least two different games(Chicago I know), and in posts like this when Sasaki was re-promoted to moderator. Certainly anyone who's been paying attention in the gameroom(something Kukri may not have been doing and Louis almost certainly hasn't been doing) would know this.
*also, I can't see when other inviso-mods are online, I'm only an AM*
Well, you are going to kill me tonight. So it is an end to me.
It's not great fun if you have to skim over the thread and put the votes and challenges into an excel sheet. It already takes almost an hour each day phase to do it without confusing usernames and avatars :mean:
I'd like to ask each "new pever" playing in this game to: a) put his previous username in his custom member title and his sig; b) change the avatar. It would be very much appreciated.
Also, to Vuk and other pevers that are NOT participating in this game, it would be very much appreciated if you did not post in this thread to avoid anymore confusion.
Thank you for your understanding.
:bow:
I hope non players are not posting to create confusion deliberately. :no:
And please don't edit a tally that's more than a few minutes old. I do track votes -- have since CN1 for most games -- and it makes Seamus sad and confused (even more so than usual).
@Mod: I humbly offer to replace a WOG target...
Sigurd
1) If Sigurd was absent owing to Real Life, then why didn't anybody say so? After he's been lynched, suddenly it turns out half the players knew he had RL time issues? :inquisitive:
Preventing dangerous players from lurking is a good strategy. Get people talking, get them participating until they mess up. It works.
Unfortunately, the rapid speed of the bandwagon was unforeseen and unintentional. Oh well, it was probably too late for both those who voted him and for those who knew* about Sigurd's RL time constraints to do anything about it. Time flies in this game.
*Or was it? Were some people, fully aware of the reasons behind Sigurd's absense, quite happy to see him lynched, to hide in a bandwagon?
Pever
2) I find the peversprawl very confusing. Which are in the game, and which are not? Only Pevergreen?
LittleGrizzly
3) What's with the LittleGrizzly clan? Why are they presumed innocent?
LG has a clan? Who are they?
Ok, Chaotix changed to peverbrown and I'm seriously NOT HAPPY about this nonsense.
As it is now, I put about 2 to 3 hours a day in Swords in the Moon. I like doing it, it's not a burden at all, but still, 3 hours is alot considering that I have a full time job, a wife and family that needs attention.
I believe now 4 or 5 players have changed their username in pever[randomcolor] and are using the same avatar. This is a serious pain in the :daisy: for me since it makes skimming the thread and counting the votes much more difficult and I will make mistakes because of this (the alternative is probably 15 to 30 minutes extra a day for double (actually triple) checking and I am not going to do that because of your idea of "fun").
I gently asked all pevers to have a) a different avatar; b) put their previous usernames clearly in your sig and as custom user title. None has done so far.
This takes away alot the enjoyment of hosting and apparently alot of players are NOT happy with it either.
Apparently, gently asking is not sufficient, so I'll make this crystal clear:
Except for pevergreen (you can keep your avatar and username as it is), all pevers have exactly 48 hours to do what I asked or they will be removed (WoG) from this game.
I will not send pm's for this, you are supposed to read the thread anyway.
Yes, I'm not amused.
Out of the pevers I know I'm in the game as well.
but I was a first night kill :P

Second to be lynched ... yay :laugh4:
Sorry guys, I have been struck by a serious case of Sinusitis and I can barely look at the flickering of a screen (even though it is a LCD) for more than a few minutes at a time.
Boudica's council of magi has been the one I have prioritised. I shall as soon as I get better get back to this and help out as the good townie I am. :beam:
Does this mean we can safely assume none of the Pevers have a crucial role in the game? ~D
Thanks for hosting, and especially for insisting I join. I am enjoying this game - how could I even have thought about giving preference to my real life!?
PeverLittleGrizzly and PeverReenk Roink. Maybe there were other recruits. I don't know what the deal is.Quote:

So many pevers
I am totally confused
heed Andres's request...
Who else is going to be a pevert?

Damn,
This is the second time I'm reading the entire thread, just to see I was to late to vote.
Order has been restored to the universe.

~~~ Swords in the Moon ~~~
Night 3 - Conclusion.
Hour of the Rat
Hamano Kazuma (Chaotix27-Peverbrown) didn’t feel very well after the last proceedings. It seems like he had caught some sort of pever. He decided to go to bed early.
While he was taking off his kimono and putting his two swords on the standard he had inherited from his father, he didn’t notice the man in the room adjacent to his.
Shivering from high pever, he quickly jumped under the silk sheets. He hardly noticed how the man opened the door and entered his room. Covered in sweat, Hamano seemed to start hallucinating; he heard some sort of whisper in the air, saying “domo arigato”.
The next moment a knife was being stabbed in his throat, destroying his larynx and preventing him to make a sound. A second stab through his heart ended his life quick.
The killer carved the following words in the body of his victim: “Dou itashi mashite”.
Hour of the Rat
Hamano Masaya (Thermal Mercury - Peverpurple) was standing guard. He wasn’t paying much attention, since he was dreaming of better days, about times before he had to follow his Lord into battle after battle.
A samurai wearing full armor came near.
“That’s odd,” Hamano said to himself, “it’s still more than an hour until I should get replaced.”
The samurai calmly walked up to Hamano.
“Aren’t you a bit early? Or am I mistaken? After all, when you’re standing here in the freezing cold, it seems like forpever.”
The man wearing full armor shrugged.
“Oh well, since you’re so peaver to stand guard…”
A sudden breeze came up and it seemed to have words in it… “domo arigato.”
Hamano shivered and looked scared. “Did you hear…”
The knife in his throat ended his question. A second stab ended his life. The disguised ninja carved the following into the body of his victim: “Dou itashi mashite”.
Hour of the Rat
Kin Hacirobei (pevergreen) was alone in his room, sipping on a cup of saké. He was thinking about his wife and children. His four sons would finally join the Takeda campaign next summer. Well trained, strong, young and enthusiastic, his sons would make great warriors, maybe even better samurai than he would ever hope to be. Kin laughed softly. Of course he would never tell that to his sons. The young ones still had much to learn about discipline, respect and obedience.
Kin took the bottle of saké and filled a second cup. When he was about to bring the cup to his mouth, he got hit on the head with a heavy object. While he was still recovering from the blow, a second blow hit him. And a third one, which broke his left arm.
Kin heard the sound of the object dropping on te floor. A kick in the stomach made him throw up his saké. A second kick on his head almost made him fall unconscious.
A sword was being unsheeted. Two strong hands in black gloves pushed on Kin’s throat until his larynx got broken, which prevented him from making anymore sounds. A mighty blow of the sword cut off his left leg. A second blow cut off the other leg. The loss of blood mercifully let Kin lose conscience. The killer continued his work and soon the room was all covered in blood and flesh, leaving a gruesome sight.
Hour of the Ox.
Okichi (Gregoshi) put away her samurai clothes and armor. It came as a relief and she felt free. Before putting up her make-up and geisha clothing to go out to entertain somebody, she decided to get some sleep.
“Interesting,” the man silently entering her room said to himself.
A wakizashi was being unsheeted. The man took one last look at Okichi’s extraordinary handsome features before slitting her throat. He cleaned his sword on her sheets, sighed and left the room unnoticed.
~~~
Day 3 - Would this go on forpever?
Hour of the Rabbit.
The Tiger was sipping on a cup of tea when he heard the sound on the courtyard. He sighed.
Some samurai were building piles of wood, others couldn't help themselves staring at the bodies, the gruesomely butchered remnants of Kin in particular.
In complete silence, the Tiger entered the courtyard. All samurai stopped their activities and bowed deeply for heir master. Shingen looked at the scroll in front of him. He waited in complete silence and then pointed at Michishige Michiyo (Ichigo) and Saruwatari Takumi (Ignoramus).
Both samurai bowed for Lord Takeda. A senior officer nodded to both men. "No armor, no hidden weapons, just katana and wakizashi."
The samurai bowed to each other and unsheeted their katana's.
Michishige moved forward. It seemed like he wanted to end this quickly and he his katana struck in the direction of Saruwatari's neck. The younger samurai quickly jumped aside and counterattacked, aiming for Michishige's left side. Michishige hardly managed to block the attack and stepped backwards.
Encouraged, Saruwatari jumped forward and his blade came down quickly. Michishige quickly jumped aside and struck with his katana, wounding Saruwatari on the left arm. Saruwatari screamed out of pain and frustration.
Yelling insults he attacked yet again. Michishige had difficulties blocking the constant attacks of his opponent. In his enthusiasm, Saruwatari stumbled. Michishige saw an opening on Saruwatari's right side and struck quickly. Saruwatari fell on his knees, his fingers touching the fatal wound. Michishige mercifully ended Saruwatari's pain by beheading him.
The samurai bowed deeply for his master who nodded respectfully in return.
After the duel ended and all bodies put on the woodpiles, the samurai started to discuss.

It's now day, you can start voting. Because of RL, this will be an extended Day phase which will last until Saturday 9.30 am (that's +/- 36 hours from now). This will be followed by an extended night phase which will last for +/- 36 hours as well. After that, we'll be back on the regular schedule. Sorry for any inconvenience.
:bow:
Vote:TinCow
Very tempted to challenge...hmm. But it's just a strong gut feeling after all...I'll be patient.
the mafiosi are pever haters :smash:... but thats not much of a clue... there are too many who hated the pever conversions :shrug:
excellent write-up Andres...nice improvisation :2thumbsup:
Hah, awesome work mafia. :laugh4: 'cept for Gregoshi, of course.
Challenge: Peverblue_ (Rhyfelwyr)
Challenge: PeverMauve (Split Personality)
Challenge: Peveryellow (YLC)
I failed...:shame:
IC: I, Kago Ryou, humbly request that Lord Shingen give me the honor of dueling the last of the pevers. The one formerly known as "Ryfhelwyr".
Also, I ask if any of my fellow samurai have been with the secret Geishas during the past few nights?
edit: ooc: Wait?! YLC? There was another pever convert :freak:
"Dou itashi mashite" apparently translates to "you're welcome." While I am loathe to be grateful to mafioso for killing off townies, in this case I think I can make an exception. Thanks for disposing of a large segment of the pevers. :bow:
Two dead geishas. :sick:
Whoops, please disregard my challenge for Split as he's been dead for a while now.
You have no fear of dueling I see?
That's nice.
I don't concern myself with dueling. I think it's bad for the town, so I don't plan on engaging in it any time soon. Given that I won't be challenging anyone and have no influence on whether people challenge me, I don't see much point in worrying about it one way or another.
Apparently all of the pevers have been returned to their original names.
(weak) Analysis of kills:
2 domo arigoto kills on pevers
1 violent kill on a pever (no domo)
1 samurai kill on a geisha
I think the killers are people who hate Peverts... based on the amount of hate for them, I suspect Andres for having the most reason to kill them.
Especially with the amount of pever puns...
Andres, did you change it to them? :P
Also, Ichigo has a high combat rating. Ignoramus didn't stand a chance.
Ichigo didn't sound that strong...
Also, is just me, or is Ichigo more serious than usual? :inquisitive:Quote:
Michishige had difficulties blocking the constant attacks of his opponent.

If I remember correctly, you are a fan of the bloody violent kills when you are a mafioso. Perhaps you are the violent ninja :inquisitive:
Gah, I have been de-pevered. :embarassed:
Now I must die honourably for the sake of my peverbrethren. I accept your challenge Woad. :bow:
I haven't officially challenged you yet, Rhyf. :wink:
