The Way of the Samurai [Concluded]

The Way of the Samurai

http://www.samuraispirit.org/Samurai...murai-logo.gif

Our Lord. If he is the jewel, us Samurais are the mother earth who have forged the jewel. For every battle, for every fame, for every victories he have won, we Samurais were the one who spilled our blood.

Reward is hardly what we Samurai wants.
May it be money, may it be land, may it be fame or may it be women.
Before all those we fight for our lords because our ancestors and ancestors before them have chosen to do so. It is that loyalty which drives us to the battlefield. Yet even that loyalty shakes in certain situation.

..........................................................................

Once upon a time, there was a country called Japan.
Country governed by very powerful figured called Shogun.
Under the Shogun and his men, most people was happy.
We move our eyes to the province of Aki.
Province governed by Matsudaira Naritsugu. Soon to be the most powerful men of all Japan.
Province which suffers from no famine, no war.
But hatred of ordinary men.
This is where the story takes place.

On the night of 21st of July 1843 one Samurai committed Seppuku in front of the Shoguns house.
Without any men to cut his head down, he bravely sliced through his stomach, in hope to change what can't be changed.
He left a letter which reads
"Dear Matsudaira Naritsugu Sama. My loyalty is with you even after my death. I have served you for my life time. So if you pity my death I beg you to listen to me. Please do not kill innocent people no further. Dirty they may be, ignoble they may be. They may have refused your request but they are your people. I beg you. For your sake and mine. As a men who are about to become the most powerful man in Japan, please cease killing at once!"

...................................................................

Kitou, the right hand men of Matsudaira Naritsugu came running through the corridor. He gently pushed through the whores and concubines and finally found his master.

"Lord Matsudaira!"

Men he called was practicing archery in the garden.

"Why the rush" he asked calmly.

Matsudaira slowly pulled the arrow and released.
The arrow sliced through the air in deadly speed, impaling the targets forehead.

"My lord? Who are they?" asked Kidou upon recognizing the tied up prisoners. Peasant family of four. Well three now with their father dead.

"Well Kidou. Their daughter refused me. I have no choice but to punish me do I?"

Matsudaira gave a quick glance at Kidou. Kidou sensed a clear message in his eyes saying "question me and you die."
He decided to give up and change the topic.

"Did you read his letter my lord? Urgh... Saitou the financial adviser who killed him self last night."

"Yes. It was boring. Replace him. Bye"

Kidou had no choice but to bow and retire the room.

................................................................................................

Around the lake, an Samurai was approached by his old friend.
"Alas. I have found you."
"Long time no see. News from the city I presume?"
"Yes. How about a tea?"

...............................................................................................

Quite tired after writing that so... I'll keep it nice and short :idea2:

Set ups
Mafia: Starts with two. Wins if they kill Matsudaira Naritsugu.
Town: Kill both starting mafia. Survive 15 night phases. keep Matsudaira Naritsugu safe.
Matsudaira Naritsugu: Easily the most powerful role I have ever made. Need someone active so please volunteer upon joining the game. If there is more then one volunteer random org. If no one volunteers I'll choose. Also he is publicly announced.

Duel System: All players are given a strength rating from 0 to 5. And players may challenge and accept duels as well as vote to lynch. Player with higher strength rating will win, but if its tied random org will be used. Winner gains 1 strength point and loser loses 1. Maximum strength is 5 and it cannot go higher. If strength level goes below 0 then Lord Matsudaira will kill you.

Night action: All players are given the option to protect or to kill. They don't have to coordinate the attacks or protection. It will be automatically calculated. If town member does not send in their order, they will automatically protect Matsudaira Naritsugu.

If the strength of attack is below the victim and its protectors attackers will die and vice versa. If the strength of both faction is equal, no one dies.

Phases: I'm not too strict on time but I'll make it roughly 24 hours for both phases.

The rest: Are mostly secret :curtain: But if you have any question regarding the game please pm me or post it on the thread. I will answer it :yes:

I'm looking for many players as I can get. I'll start this game around 18th of Jan regardless of how many player I have. I hope you'll enjoy it :bow:

:daisy: I wanted that one! Why did I have to fall asleep, it was only 4 AM :shame:

I dearly wish I could be in Beefy-san :bow:, but I have only oddly realized once school reopened that I have a 6 day long school trip that will of course hamper game play come next Sunday.

Put me as a replacement, but only if said replacing is only needed on the 21st Jan and beyond :bow:

I also demand that Sasaki can play as Sasaki Kojiro.

Anything else is just not cool, man.

In, although this game will have me absolutely baffled, I can already tell. I sense a Swords-in-the-Moon level ignominious death for me, and rather quickly.

I also demand to be Sasaki's first victim.

You may count me IN, Beefy.

I demand to have nun-chucks!

That's an in.

No way, I'll take a random role then. I only pay tribute to the llamas.

In. Though I'd like to be town, if the random.org gods would be so kind. I need a break from mafia roles so the marks other players let their guard down.

Count me In. I would be happy to be Matsuraida. It also might be fun to be a scum.

No Beefdom? :O

Count me in.

The gameroom always pulls me back to the .Org. Count me in (please).

oh what the heck

IN TO WIN

Sorry Beefy, I'm going to pull out of this.

24 players. Looking very good so far!

Would like to join.

In if i still can.

Looks fun, I'll be IN

In.

The game will start in approximately 24 hours :bow:

The pms are being sent out as we speak. While that is going on, I would like to answer any question regarding the game... If I can reveal it.

Lets revise the rules first
1. All players can attack or protect a player. Apart from few roles, if the player doesn't send in their order they will protect Naritsugu (pevergreen)
2. pevergreen is Lord Naritsugu. It is towns goal to protect him, it is mafias goal to kill him.
3. Each player will receive a strength from 1~5. This will be used for night actions and duels.
4. How the night action works. If the total strength point of attackers is higher then that of its target (and protecters) then the target (and protectors) will die. If protectors are stronger then the attackers will die.
5. Duels. In general players may vote for two player to duel each other. For example Duel: pevergreen vs Beefy. Which ever duo gets the most votes will fight each other. Player with the higher strength rating will win, but if its tied then random.org will decide the victor. The winner gains one strength point and loser loses one strength point
6. If the strength of the player goes below 0 then that fellow will be slayed by pevergreen.
7. Player who doesn't seem to be active for long period without an excuse will suffer the wrath of pevergreen.
8. No quoting pm or posting screenshot of the pm or private conversation
9. Players may vote for a player to be lynched. Follow this style Vote: pevergreen. Non bolded votes, edited votes won't be counted.
10. Be nice to the host. Please keep the tally to make my job easier. Also don't mess up the tally on purpose :curtain:
11. Enjoy!

If you have any questions, please post here. I'll start with a long day phase so i'll answer it during that time.

Also for the sake of the people with power roles, here is a example of town pm

Beefy
Town
Strength rating:1

Greetings Beefy. You are awesome, yet you aren't working hard enough so your grades aren't that great.
Yatta! I can travel through time and space!

Major Victory: Two original mafia killed and pevergreen survives 15 night phases
Minor Victory: pevergreen survives 15 night phases
Minor Defeat: pevergreen dies
Major Defeat: Failure to survive

Ability: You can either attack players or protect players during the night.

Congratulations on what looks to be a very interesting game, Beefy, I like the look of this Duel Vote!!

Questions:

We are reassured, yes, that if a player does not unvote before voting again, the new vote will not count?

Also, are we allowed to know what happens in case of a tie vote for duels and lynches?

What if one or two players are selected to be lynched and to duel?

Does the duelist have a chance to kill his opponent before being lynched?

---

Oh and any post which has been edited for any reason cannot be a valid voting post? (Chaotix has an exception)

I have finished sending in all the pm. Sorry that some pms aren't as long as I wanted..
Thank you for the question.

1. Yes you must unvote first. Otherwise the old vote will be counted
2. lord Naritsugu (pevergreen) will decide the outcome
3. The player with the most vote will be lynched. The combo with the most votes will duel. Duel votes and lynch votes are seperate :bow:
4. Duelist and lynchee is seperate

No exception. Edited in votes won't count. You must make a seperate post.

Night 0

The swordsman took a quick glance at the girl.
Pale and skinny girl with her legs and arms cut off.

"Her name is Naomi. She was taken captive by Lord Naritsugu, enjoyed and thrown out when he got bored of her." explained his friend.

"Cruel. What happened to your family Naomi?" asked the swordsman. He waited to get the answer, but Naomi stared back at him babbling.

"Her tongue was cut off too" explained the friend. He dipped the pen in to the ink and allowed Naomi to bite it. Then he offered an paper.

Like a fearful orgah, Naomi wrote "みなごろし" meaning massacred.

"Terrifying... Now I must stop him."

...................................................

Lord Naritsugu announced that there is few traitors amongst them.
"So here is my idea" he said. "Give me one of you and I will execute that person. Sinners must be punished yes?" he grinned.

Shivering, the samurais started to discuss who might the traitors be.

See the CoV thread, pevergreen will be back on air shortly.

Vote: Beskar .. You are most likely an evil murderer

I found a villain!

vote: Renata

If you're not lynched, I will duel you!

vote:Lord of Lent

Interesting. Diamondeye is confident in his ability to duel.

Duel: Diamondeye VS robbiecon

What do you say robbiecon? Willing?

Thanks for the tally Romanic.

Well if Diamondeye can duel, I won't be able to do very well against him.

It's just a bit of a cross thread feud really.

Good grace no, he'll slice me to pamphlets! I just wanted to scare him a bit.
unduel; duel: ATPG vs Sasaki Kojiro

And Robbiecon; I don't do thread-carryover stuff.

I can't decide if it fits my character to duel or not. I did get beat once by a guy with a wooden sword.

Anyway, we need more votes on LoL immediately.

My sword is made of papier-mâché. What are you afraid of? Are you a man, or are you a koshinuke?

We need more votes for the EPIC ASKTHEPIZZAGUY VERSUS SASAKI ALL-CAPS DUEL TO THE DEATH!!!!

I might be wrong but I think Lord of Lent is a rookie in our army, so I am ready to wave away this small incident, on the account of inexperience. For this reason, I believe Sasaki Kojiro's read is innacurate, and will not be voting for LoL on day 1, no matter what. I hope most of us will show the same courtesy to our new soldier.

In favor of what? It's a great lead.

Anyway, he said "that's exactly what I would do if I were scum" so he's obviously not a rookie...
