    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.

    Nobutalkalot

    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.

    ***

    Battle rating : 0

    Abilities: talking.

    Victory conditions:
    - During each day phase, you need to make at least 50 posts in the game thread.
    - survive
    EDIT: Thanks Tosa!

    Will the game receive another thread or will it continue in this one???

    I have hard time tracking everything that has been said in here and I doubt I can follow everything that will be said in a real game. Especially if someone will receive a role where he have to make 50 posts per day!!

    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.




    The former daimyo sighed and called for his concubine.



    ~~~


    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,
    - 1 secret role
    - x veteran samurai
    - y samurai

    Duels:
    - challenges need to be made during the day (and not during night, as originally conceived).

    So do the ninjas and traitors still get their max number of kills if they lose people? i.e. when there's just 1 ninja left, does he kill 3 by himself?

    Also, I very much suggest a new thread for the game proper
    Want gunpowder, mongols, and timurids to appear when YOU do?
    Playing on a different timescale and never get to see the new world or just wanting to change your timescale?

    No comment on the questions

    Once the game officially starts, I'll make a seperate summary thread where I'll post the OP and every write-up

    All role pm's have been sent. If you didn't receive a pm, please let me know through pm asap (with 64, it's possible I overlooked one, sorry for any inconvenience).

    It's now the first night. Those with night abilities can send me their pm's from now on.

    Night will end tomorrow evening at 20.30 (GMT +1); that's roughly 23 hours and 15 minutes after this post.

    Good luck all and don't forget:

    HAVE FUN!

    IC : Abe-san is standing at his guard post. The only movement is from the birds chirping nearby. Perhaps a wolf is near.

    OOC : Also, nobody knows if higher or lower is good for battle ratings.....

    I just love how you coloured your battle rating of Red as Blue.

    Not much to go on, but I wonder if AggonyDuck has a 9 or 10 rating. This could mean either he's either an assassin or a bodyguard, so I wouldn't want to FOS him yet, since he may be a valueable role.

    That was a very overly-neutral statement. Wishy-washy statements allow the mafia to appear to be contributing while also leading the town in never ending logic circles.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli
