Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

Ajax- I believe his story about sending pms to Andres early in the game. That doesn't sound like a mafiaesque thing to do.
Dutch_Guy- Too quiet but I don't really have anything else against him.
Chimp- he's been MIA for too long for me to consider him as a suspect
Ichigo- he is playing like he normally does. I consider him to be innocent.
Kage- I'm not getting bad vibes off of him but he's a crafty player so its hard to tell
GH- He seems innocent to me
Beskar- should be lynched out of principle
Rhyf- A lot of people think he is scummy but I have no idea what his normal behavior is.

Rhyf is innocent. The role Pm he posted has his name spelled wrong.

edit: nevermind, Andres could have misspelt it in a cover role too. I really am not sure who to vote for~

In order to tie things up:

Unvote: Dutch_guy
Vote: Rhyfelwyr

-edit-
too bad such measures seem necessary so late in the game, when victory or defeat hang in the balance.

Unvote: Rhyfelwyr
Vote: Dutch_guy

I apologize to everyone, especially Andres, for my schizo voting patterns. But I just don't see Beskar as a mafioso anymore. I just don't.

I missed yoyoma in my thoughts post. I think yoyoma can be considered innocent. I looked back at the Golden Rule (AKA the handy-dandy scummy behavior guide) and yoyo appeared to play very seriously. This is at odds with his current behavior.

Our impending epic failure will be the Takeda town for years to come. Scarred for life. Branded forever. How do I tell my kids "Yes, I was a townie at Shingen's side when the ninja handed us our heads, butts and any other body part they chose." I'd compose an appropriate haiku but it would probably result in another innocent getting lynched from a dangling participle.

One morning I shot
an elephant in my pants.
I will never know.

Wait wait wait.


How long was Chimp gone?



Does his absense correspond with the eye stabber of the Ox hour?

He was absent for five days.

Voting concluded. Stand by for execution.

Day 9 - Conclusion

Hour of the Monkey


The condemned was looking around him, watching the magnificent landscape of snow and mountains. It was a silent evening and for once, the wind wasn't blowing.

For a samurai, there's no greater honor than to die in the service of his master.


Fukuda Ayumu (Dutch_guy) would not become a name remembered by history as the name of a man who had died in the service of his Lord; since he died before him. He had failed.


He shrugged. He knew that it was useless to worry about karma. Karma was what it was, karma. When he looked up at the sky and watched the first twinkling stars appearing, he wondered if his parents were among them.


A little bird stopped in front of him. It was time to join the twinkling stars. As he opened his kimono and picked up the clean knife in front of him, the bird impatiently jumped up and flew away.


The condemned smiled.


He kept smiling when he plunged the knife into his belly. Before the smile could leave his face, the blade of his kaishakunin struck mercifully.


The men surrounding him, nodded respectfully.

It's now night. PM's please. Night will last for 24 hours (that's until 10.30 (GMT+1)).

I wonder were the ninjas and traitors confident enough this round to use their voting power in unision. If they were. That would cast a serious suspicion over the trio of GH, W&F and Ajaxfetish. Maybe GH is the ninja master after all and Ajax and Woad his henchmen?

Not since you turned into a quiet shadow of your former self.

GH voting rhyf and then unvoting to revote dutch seems a bit scummy.

However, I have faith in the list, because I know it was right for me and if BQ really did say the response was identical for GH, then I will believe him.

Well, seems it ends here. The town should look into GH - that unvote/vote seemed out of place - and how Beskar manages to avoid getting lynched every night is becoming more of a miracle each turn.

There is no shame in losing to a worthy opponent. The ninja group have truly schooled us in this game. My personal problem is that the people I find the most suspicious are on BG's innocent list. That contradiction has been throwing me off for days.

Had very bad luck in the townies, being ran around a maze like rats by the Mafia getting people obsessed with innocents like myself while they get away with murder.

I would say GH is almost certainly scum.

No way we lynched a ninja with three votes. This means the town is toast right?

W&F on GH: "he seems innocent to me" must be GH's partner.

I changed my vote to Dutch_guy because I decided that Beskar was innocent, plain and simple. He will never receive my vote so long as I am alive.

I pretty much believe we are toast. Unless the traitors and ninjas turn against each other. Afterall it does not help if they kill the town when the other faction will then finish the weaker mafia faction off. You mafia scum should think that also, whom ever you are.

Only a challenge can do something.

So GH can kill one of us in duel? Doesnt help us much.

Time is slowing as the last grains of sand tumble from the hourglass.

I`ve been saying all game that GH was dirty but nobody was interested despite the dishonourable behaviour during an earlier duel which everyone disregarded. I still think it was a blatant clue from Andres.

Beskar just seems dodgier and dodgier by the minute, and it looks even worse for him now with GH`s statement that he will never vote for him.

But, what do I know, I`m just a dead, young Samurai who never even got laid.

You are referring to GH not bowing to Shingen after his victory and allowing his opponent to shame himself before dealing the fatal blow. I thing several people were on to that too until it was pointed out that Glenn didn't bow either. That seemed to diffuse the "no bow" argument and after that it was easy to explain away the shame aspect with the hatred between the combatants. Had both components stood together GH might have gotten lynched earlier. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

By my count we have about seven or eight ninjas left. It doesn't look good.

Maybe it's only one... but he moves so fast it looks like 8.

Does this correspond with Chimp's inactivity?

Yes it does.
