    When this voting phase has ended, if I am the chosen one to die, I would like to die by committing seppuku. It is what I have always dreamed of, if honorable battle is not to be had.
    You giving up on round 1 is mighty scummy. Real warrior fights until their fate is sealed. You voted for your self but your only on lead with one or two votes

    A true Samurai would welcom the challenge of fighting against honourable foes in a noble duel - clearky ATPG's attempt to worm his way out of such a thing shows his lack of courage at best, and despicable lack of honour, and hence must not be a true Samurai, at worst.

    No true Scotsman argument. And by the way, under orders from my master, I am prepared to die; and I have challenged a cowardly traitor here. It is you who know nothing of the ways of the samurai, if you cannot see this. When my master destroys you, he will do the world a service.

    What is a "Scotsman"? Mind explaining to a poor grizzled warrior what it is?

    Real warrior does not draw his blades to kill, but to save another
    I rather not let my blade taste the blood of my friends... Hopefully only those who are foolish enough to attack Shingen Sama.

    Anyway, while I will defend my honor with best of my abilities, if my fate is sealed then I am happy to commit Seppuku if Shingen Sama wishes so.

    While we had our differences, you really were a person with 義 and 和. I bow to mourn your death.

    A man, hitherto silent and all but unnoticed, rises to his feet and strolls towards the water gardens. The table where he has been practising calligraphy with a quiet determination still bears a parchment, that curls elegantly at one corner.

    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more: it is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.

    Yes, title characters "tommorow" soliloquy of which BG is quoting the last few lines.

    I was going to be away from the computer for 3 hours and being honest, it didn't look too well for me, so on that level, it was personal protection, however, I only changed my vote as Pizza Guy basically gave up by even changing his vote to himself to make-sure he went out and if that is what he wanted, I don't mind changing my vote for that reason (as it would have aided my safety for this round at least.)

    Good news, there are 24hours of a break. Which will allow me to do revision for my exam on Wednesday, undisturbed almost. After that, it would be seeing how things play out with the Mafia.

    Tactically speaking, the Mafia roles should keep me in, for the sole reason people will be after me next round opposed to them being targeted, having myself in the game would keep them safe while the townies all target me for their silly reasons. If the Mafia-roles do kill me, I have to admit, I would be surprised due to the reason I just gave. Though, they might kill me off when people realise I am not the bad guy so don't bother chasing me, then they bump me off as I am no longer needed. Either way, I doubt I would get to the end of this game, unless the Mafia are very cunning and the townies continue being silly. So when the townies keep voting for me, the Mafia would vote others to keep me in, thus, some random innocent gets killed, while the townies favourite target (me) remains in the game, the townies will keep targeting me, so the Mafia safe from harms way target the others and get them out undisturbed.

    Then there is the figure some one used earlier, the 3% chance that I am actually a Mafia member, then obviously me remaining the game, continued continuing would also be suspicious or give people a reason to keep voting for me while my Mafia buddies keep me safe from harms way. (Very unlikely)

    At the moment, I am still classed as "Deadman Walking" so nothing I say would be used as a defence, only as a reason to get me lynched. I just have to wait and see if people lay off the heat next round and actually work together to try down the real Mafia members with logic.

    I didn't think the case against Tiberius was very strong, but he's swiftly losing my trust. He's trying to convince the mafia he's better left alive than killed. He's also changed his username, presumably to distance himself from past accusations and make himself a less likely target. He's taking self-preservation to the extremes that can hurt the Takeda clan. We can afford to lose a few innocents to the greater cause, and a samurai would be unlikely to prioritize personal survival so highly.

    That is incorrect. The change is that I been meaning to change it for a while and I did. I purposely put 'Formally "TiberiusBeskar"' as the little under message highlighting who I was on purpose, so I don't get accused of that.
