Acting odd. He does seem to be role fishing. Given the rigid nature of alliances, it's suspicious.

Hmm,
I think some people are too happy to enter challenges. Given that winning a duel increases the power, I´d think it´s a viable mafia strategy to bolster up their duelling ability by beating up some samurais and then challenge Lord Takeda himself.
FoS on people who issue challenges for minor reasons.
My vote goes to Ibn-Khaldun, though. Because I think he was actively seeking the duel with Sasaki.
Vote: Ibn-Khaldun

Day 1
Random.org says Vote: woad&fangs
I have 3 pages of reading to do now, which I shall get to right away. If anything catches my eye I'll comment.
And after the recent affair where scum was lynched day 1 I will remind people that abstaining on day 1 is a bad idea.
After reading the thread (Yes, in 8 minutes... apparently) I'm not entirely sure what this argument against ATPG is. I agree he is a very dangerous scum to keep around, but I don't see what evidence there is. Admittedly, the whole "We need more challenges" does seem kind of weird to suggest, especially without any real reasoning, but I'm not sure if that is grounds for lynching.
Its ok Ichigo.
:smitten:
Note to self: Don't ever mention anything about roles before the game has even started where it is impossible for you to know. Others try to pin things on you when you done nothing wrong to try to make themselves look clean.
I will only find out after the game, but I bet Mafia-roles voted for me. I can put money on it. :no:
*Crosses fingers that some one has a special ability like the Doctor-role to save the poor innocent me.*
Can I just say how great our 3 possible lynchs are...
Tib for things he said before he recieved his role.... he was talking like someone who was about to recieve a mafia role obviously...
Glenn for the accent... or being pished...
Or ATPG because.... well he's ATPG... he did then make a comment about wanting more people to challenge... but that could be purely self preservation... which isn't nessecarily scummy...
Problem is, I am dreading those who don't understand sarcasm. Like a comment when some one painted a bulleyes on themselves and me going "I wonder what your role is..." = means "role-fishing" is retarded.
Lynch ATPG.
Unvote:...wait naaah.
Vote: Abstain
:stwmean:Master says it is bad to lynch on day 1 simply because of randomness, but master also says voting those who behave suspiciously with good evidence is fine.

Sorry mate, this game is going to be big enough, I dont want to wade through 5 pages of ATPG. :grin2:
@Ichigo:
Accident:double posted. I turned it into a table of current score now. I would be lying if I said I want people who haven't voted to vote for those with the three votes and not me, so I can actually have a chance to surrive this round and not get lynched for stupid reasons. I would like to get mafia-killed or lynched near the end, so at least I am here for the juicy bits.
@pevergreen:
Just added your change to the table. Just for reference
Tabbed browsing and short-term memory. I would have just pressed "delete post" as usually, you can do that on forums if you do it within a minute or when no one has replied, so would have removed it.
Vote Abstain there are way too many players for me to see with any confidance a lynch target.
Two innocents(?). One geisha (Lord Winter). Hmmm...
The geisha is troubling. Killing a geisha on night one seems no mere luck. Lord Winter, is there anything you can tell us? Has anybody with knowledge about LW's role shared anything to anybody?
The two (presumed) innocent samurais - why were they picked? Some thoughts:
The 'mafia' are experienced. They would choose not to kill the best mafia hunters, these will be protected. So the choice targets would be experienced players without absolute leet-skillz.
I don't play a lot of mafia. Are Khazaar and spL1tp3r50nal1ty known players? If they are, this would point to a particular reason for their kill, instead of mere randomness. Why were they targeted?
Or, scenario two, the 'mafia' are unexperienced. So they chose their targets either at random, or because they know them. Either from other mafia games, or from other .org activities. Khazaar and spL1tp3r50nal1ty, do either of you have some suspicion? Does anybody know whom Khazaar and spL1tp3r50nal1ty hang out with?
Did you talk to anybody?
I have no particular FoS or vote. As of yet.
Vote: abstain.
Please update and then copy-past the tally when you make a vote. In a huge mafia game, it helps to make the game much more manageable for other players.

Master has told me to exalt his name publicly. I humbly serve my sensei LittleGrizzly. :bow:
Well, good theories really. First off I posted my character name (stupid!)who isn´t random at all but a real Samurai. That might have been cause to take me out which would point to someone very observant/knowledgable about japan history. Ii Naomasa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ii_Naomasa
Otherwise I come from the totalwar.net site and I´m not really experienced. Players that I remember are Captain Blackadder, Beefy, ATPG, Thermal Mercury.
Obviously this could be used to lead people off track but anyway. Use this info as you like...
Remember rule 1 and rule 45 -
1. Always vote for Sasaki
45. If mafia, don't kill Sasaki. He's probably on your side, somehow.
That means, Sasaki is Mafia and people who don't vote for him are Mafia.
Good info, thanks. Sorry that you had to leave the game so soon.
I note that you hardly posted anything in this thread to make you particular killworthy.
Sometimes what appears random really is random. Even the 'mafia' sometimes just has to pick some names from the list.
Or not. Captain Blackadder, Beefy, ATPG, Thermal Mercury - what say you to your names having been being mentioned?
Louis your link leads me no where.
Why do people persist with abstaining in the first round? We have gotten lucky in the past with a random lynch, who is to say it will not happen again? A complete lack of conversation just lets the mafia win. Voting absatin leads to a lack of conversation. Ergo, voting abstain lets the mafia win.
I have read through every single post Andres has made. He made no comment about a victorious duel increasing someone's battle rating. While that did indeed happen in Midgard, and Andres has said that the duels were "inspired" by Midgard, that's a relatively weak assumption to make at this point. Haudegen's comment seemed very definite, which would indicate an alternate source for that information than this thread.
Andres noted to the Spartan that if you defeat a better opponent - there is a chance for BR to increase - but it would be a huge risk for the 'mafia' to take, when they are guarenteed kills during the night.
Also, I'm turning my visibility back on. Since in this game you can't "go bad", the only people who would need it to lurk and observe are the mafia. I encourage others to turn this back on so we can monitor who is lurking better.
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...&postcount=220
Though it's not exactly what Haudagen posted he probably just generalized it assuming it is for all duels.
It's on page 8 of the thread. I'll be back on later to see if anyhting changes.
Not a problem, I was curious about it as well. :grin:
Unless the 'mafia' knows something that we don't, I'd say that dueling is too much of a risk for them. They'd have to be pretty certain of a win to risk it.
I suspect mafia to be either players who do not risk duelling. Or players who risk a lot of duelling. Who habitually 'pick fights', for one reason or another. Perhaps as some sort of means of building leet killing skillz, or as special role requirements. Lord* only knows what dangers are lurking in hidden roles.
*Otherwise known as the beermeister, geishagaijin, or simply Andres.
It should lead to a page with Khazaar's posts. The link works for me. If it doesn't, just click on Khazaar's name and look for something that says 'see all posts by Khazaar'. The main point is that he didn't post anything in this thread to make him particularly killworthy.
I wonder if I could request Seppoku instead of being lynched. If I get voted out.
I have acquired Reenk Roink as a recruit in the hope that I may serve my Lord Takeda in the best way possible... he has put his vote and his right to challenge in my hands, I have decided he shall remain on his abstain vote (can't break tradition) but from the next go onwards he shall be doubling up my vote...
We will discuss his dueling skill and wait for a suitable opponent to become clear before challenging, the great warrior Reenk Roink should not die in some random battle but in the fight for our might Lord Takeda!
No, no, I don't mean that Andres, my apologises. I meant it as a method of death at the lynch write-up, so if you are getting lynched, and it is confirmed, in your write-up, you could put it on that the lord commanded me to commit Seppoku to prove my innocence or whatever, and that could be my exit from the game via the write up.
Not saying I am suiciding because I am going to get lynched. Afterall, there is still a chance I won't die yet.
LG is mafia
Generally speaking, if you are about to get lynched, you can have some input in your own dead scene (just pm me the general outline).
However, I do reserve the rightto have some good laughs at the expense of your character, muahahahahato write my own, creative and brilliant write-up.
:bow:
LG is mafia
Damn thought i was hiding it so well as well....
Was it my lurking that gave me away ?
Or my reasonless lynch choice ?
Or the post where i specifically stated i was mafia ?
I'm ever so very dangerous, apparently. And too talkative:

I'm a good first round lynch because I eat pizza, not sushi.
On gut instinct, I say that TiberiusBeskar is not mafia. He's not behaving as mafia about to go down.

And if I don't hear a good explanation, I'll also challenge Reenk Roink before the sun makes the lotus bloom tomorrow.

No problems. In a way, I would like my poor little Yoshi-san to commit Seppoku to keep his honour as he is a poor guy who fell asleep under a plum tree with a strawhat on with Sasaki slithering around, though I don't think he would actually do that. He would probably try to escape before he is hunted, and some how like a stereotypical kungfu movie, try to find the real person responsible because he would be annoyed is the one that got painted as being the bad guy.
There's a good 6 hours for the other half of the players to vote still - you're ahead by 1 vote....why so resigned?
I am not an optimist at this stage of the game. :p

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I'm not a particuarly 'seasoned' player but here's my take as of right now.
ATPG is being voted for via a mix of gut instincts and half serious votes : which i expect to change to someone else if anything pops up.
Glenn - well is Glenn - read the CDTC II thread for abit and you realise how even when he had a pro town role - everyone rammed it into him considerably. Again, there's no solid evidence apart from a 'drunk' introduction - which means only one thing : his character is a drunkard! Maybe the secret role is the drunken martial art expert you see in a fair few films!
Tiberius is under the suspicion of "role fishing" - the idea is that mafia/anyone (associated with mafia though) try and find conclusive evidence as to assign people to roles - especially important are the 3 protectors of 'our lord', the geishas and the 3 mafia. This way, you can either fake your own role more effectively or lead out targets.
Sasaki is as always - unafraid of commotion and confrontation in the game thread. The early "prevoting" of Tiberius (based on Sasaki's own accusation of Tiberisu role fishing) attracted votes - also I believe one of hte votes is due to the unnecessary emoticons added to the accusatory post.
I think that sums up the main contenders.
I voted Factionheir - claiming my vote made no sense is not particuarly a good reason for me being scum so counter vote for reasons i summed up before.
Admittedly, I only played Mafia on Warcraft 3 and in Real life. (Biggest difference, no chat-log)
There are a few unwritten rules from what I noticed in the forum version -
1) Never comment on peoples roles, even if in a joking or sarcastic manner and before the game has even started, this means you are the Mafia member. Mafia members always post their suspicions on a public forum before the game starts opposed to private message between other Mafia members during the game. (applies to Tiberius)
2) Defending yourself means you are a Mafia member. Regardless of being an innocent and on the first-turn of the game, you have to sacrifice yourself without hassle. Wanting to stay in the game for enjoyment even as an innocent is wrong. (applies toTiberius)
3) Picking out a person before the game began and setting them up, twisting their comments to make them look bad because you are a Mafia member and trying to shift blame from yourself, is not a suspicious activity, (applies to Sasaki)
4) Playing on racial stereotypes will get you lynched faster than a politically incorrect comparison that would not be allowed to be posted here. (applies to Glenn)
5) Voting Abstain means you are not a Mafia member. (applies to all those voting abstain)
To be continued...
I am pleasantly surprised that my vote and associated comment on you made you post like a waterfall. Where to take this will be seen at a later stage.
For the moment, it is my opinion that ATPG is a bit out of character in this game avoiding to get killed rather than actively contributing to his demise. This suggests he has a role. Question is, whether its pro or anti town.
As a side note, Tiberius is probably innocent. I would guess 97% chance.
When in doubt, vote ATPG. It's always the right move.
Nah, just really like to be able to vote for people I find suspicious. However, I am not a role worth saving. There are occasions where I'd prefer to play the game rather than watch from afar, that's all.
Meh. I could say the same for you.Quote:

Random.org commands it.
Yup. I think we are thinking in the same way. No offence but you don't strike me as a high profile player. If I am correct to assume that all three kills were from the same hostile family, two things are strange.
One because all three dead players are mafia regulers in gameroom (Split is new, Khazaar is recently from TWC) and Lord Winter. All of them are not really a populer kill target in night one, suggesting that either the mafia gang is just picking random targets or trying to give the non regulers some chance to get active on mafia.
I may do just that, I'm opposed to killing new commers on earlier rounds. Plus killing Khazaar naturally points at TWC players including my self.
I think theres a good chance of mafia being in those four.
Anyways, for those who are making assumptions that lynching ATPG is the only way to silence him. Thats a big mistake. If ATPG turns out to be innocent, we will have to swim through 10 post of ATPG per page! Not that I have any problems with that.
Vote: Haudegen
Don't play with fire...
