Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

[woad&fangs]

Nononono!!
I CHALLENGE YOU!!!

[The Spartan (Returns)]

Vote: Abstain.

I Challenge: woad&fangs.

Whoa.. strange challenge choice. Care to elaborate?

[Iskander 3.1]

Vote: Abstain at this time.

[Gregoshi]

This.

I thought as much, but you can't be too careful these days with ninjas and traitors about and boots running off to have a sandalous affair with half naked footwear. I am vigilant too.

[woad&fangs]

edit: directed at Iksander

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Glenn and Ignoramus's challenges don't count...

[Gregoshi]

It is interesting to note that Splitpersonality, a very new player and member, was killed on the first night.

Actually, Takayama Ukon (spL1tp3r50nal1ty) was an obvious choice as a two-fer at the very least - a new player, a new member and a split personality. That's at least four by my count. And he was a samurai veteran. That's five. How many ninjas are we up against?!

[PershsNhpios]

Oh dear, I have misread the rules then.

If my challenge was incorrectly submitted, do consider it false and worthless, and I will be back shortly with a sensible beginning to my participation!

[woad&fangs]

I admire your courage Igno-san. It seems the time for challenges has passed. If you wish to challenge me tomorrow, I will not back down. However, you have cleared yourself in my eyes.

As for the rest of the abstainers

[ajaxfetish]

Part of me wants to just vote for Sasaki (after all, Ichigo's profile tells me to), since he can be so dangerous to play against. He's a master manipulator, and IIRC prefers mafia roles. However, unlike in Capo, there doesn't seem to be any provision in the rules for switching roles, and probability is in favor of him being a good guy. It would be a shame to lynch such a powerful player if he's a samurai or other pro-Takeda role.

Overall, I don't think there's sufficient information to properly condemn anyone yet, so for now I'll . . .

vote:abstain

If anyone can make a more compelling case against someone, or if my master Takeda Shingen commands otherwise, I'll change my vote.

Ajax

[Gregoshi]

As for the rest of the abstainers

Abstinence is a form of protection from STDs (Stealthy, Traumatic Death) and what-not.

The blind monk listens before delivering his fatal blow. It may not be an enemy, but it is still freakin' awesome.

[KukriKhan]

Oh dear, I have misread the rules then.

If my challenge was incorrectly submitted, do consider it false and worthless, and I will be back shortly with a sensible beginning to my participation!

vote: Glenn

For playing hard and fast with the rules, which are simple enough, and making silly propagandistic 1940's-era stereotypical remarks previously.

[glyphz]

Vote: KukriKhan

...for posting before me.

Someone please double check my tally.

[LittleGrizzly]

Im not sure i quite understand all these votes on Glenn for doing something some people find offensive...

If a poster does something offensive or against the rules... complain...

All these votes for Glenn seem to based off his bad impression, this is not a reason to vote for someone... we are looking for mafia and not people who make fun of other country's accents...

Some people seem to be just going for a cheap lynch...

FoS people voting Glenn

I actually found it kind of funny... or has having fun with people's accents suddenly become racist ?

Feel free to mock the Welsh accent (which is the accent i have) me and my friends often do it ourselves and laugh when someone pronounces something in a very welshy way...

[glyphz]

[Gregoshi]

Point taken LG, but someone is getting lynched even if we all abstain and lacking any real evidence, it is necessary to manufacture a reason for another to take the fall, flimsy as it may be. I'd vote for those hussy sandals that my boots fell in love with if it was legal in the game.

Lest my comments directed at Glenn be misconstrued, I took the "accent" as Glenn being drunk on sake, hence the slurring of the "S". The slur pun I made was "drunken slur" contrasted with a "slur of character" against Tiberius. A "racial slur" didn't even enter my mind (what there is of it).

[A Very Super Market]

No, it was mostly because he sounded exactly like a WWII-era propaganda flick, with the "l"s replaced by "r"s.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am so popular! Votes, and 2 challenges.

Pointless to defend myself, so let it come. I die not for myself, but for you.

[LittleGrizzly]

It is simply because of your legendary warrior status... people either want to remove someone they fear... or make themselves famous by dying at the sword of the legendary ATPG!

LOL

I won't be legendary after today. I'll be "nameless dead samurai number one"

[Crazed Rabbit]

vote:TiberiusBeskar

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

CR

[pevergreen]

Vote: Strawberry

[Beefy187]

I thought he was acting drunk

[Haudegen]

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

[Csargo]

Vote: Strawberry

I thought Glenn was just acting drunk...

[Quintus.JC]

Vote: Abstain

Day 1

[CountArach]

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.

[CountArach]

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.

[pevergreen]

Its ok Ichigo.
