Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

[Beskar]

I got 50% chance of surviving now (I think). Thanks CountArch :D

[Csargo]

Well... not yet!

Not really ever.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That seems awfully submissive ATPG... Not at all what I have come to expect from you.

Yes, my lord. As you wish. I follow your command.

As you may have noticed in the above write-up, the gods of random.org, in their wisdom, have given the role of Takeda Shingen to CountArach. Obviously, you cannot vote for Lord Takeda Shingen. Any vote for CountArach will not be counted.

Shinohara Yuuko arrives late to the gathering due to weekend galavanting and retires to his tent to read the scrolls on events of days past. I'll probably have to serve extra guard duty for this later.

for now Vote: Abstain

[Beefy187]

Well, good theories really. First off I posted my character name (stupid!)who isn´t random at all but a real Samurai. That might have been cause to take me out which would point to someone very observant/knowledgable about japan history. Ii Naomasa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ii_Naomasa
Otherwise I come from the totalwar.net site and I´m not really experienced. Players that I remember are Captain Blackadder, Beefy, ATPG, Thermal Mercury.

Obviously this could be used to lead people off track but anyway. Use this info as you like...

Yup. I think we are thinking in the same way. No offence but you don't strike me as a high profile player. If I am correct to assume that all three kills were from the same hostile family, two things are strange.

One because all three dead players are mafia regulers in gameroom (Split is new, Khazaar is recently from TWC) and Lord Winter. All of them are not really a populer kill target in night one, suggesting that either the mafia gang is just picking random targets or trying to give the non regulers some chance to get active on mafia.

I may do just that, I'm opposed to killing new commers on earlier rounds. Plus killing Khazaar naturally points at TWC players including my self.

I think theres a good chance of mafia being in those four.

Anyways, for those who are making assumptions that lynching ATPG is the only way to silence him. Thats a big mistake. If ATPG turns out to be innocent, we will have to swim through 10 post of ATPG per page! Not that I have any problems with that.

I had problems going through 5 pages but if there would be another 10 pages per day then....

He knows me only too well...

Actually, I was going to be quieter this game and wait until the ending to make noise. But it seems with my death, I will be even quieter. If this pleases Lord Takeda Shingen, then I have done my duty.

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

I am still getting my head around the game , and dont want to choose someone randomly without understanding... so will leave it as a place holder for now and see if i can decide on a vote before the sun sets

[Chimpyang]

I am pleasantly surprised that my vote and associated comment on you made you post like a waterfall. Where to take this will be seen at a later stage.

Indeed it shall...

Note however, only 1 post other than changing my vote was about you. The rest was involved in conversation about suspicious behaviour.

Blatant retaliation vote if there ever was one ...

Why so aggressive?

[LittleGrizzly]

The honourable warrior seems to be targetted for his talkativeness and his unfortunate habit of offering himself as a first round lynch (it catches up with you eventually)

Great warrior ATPG, take your vote of yourself, and hopefully you may have the chance to die like a true warrior in battle instead!!

Bear in mind ATPG is in 2 of the 4? challenges, so theres a 50% chance we get to see ATPG fighting anyway...

though i don't like the tib lynch either... he said things before the roles were given out!

Glenn was drunk... and obvious sign of mafia...?

Sasaki... *sigh* always in the first round lynch list somewhere near the top...

My lynch is obviously the only good one

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'd be willing to give tib a pass for remaining cool under pressure...but to do so would possibly underestimate him, and ignores the fact that if he were mafia he would have several people who could bail him out.

You may call the case weak if you want, but we have to make the best case we can each round with the info available.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Pardon? Lord Takeda Shingen wants me dead. That is not "giving up" that is FOLLOWING ORDERS!!!

YOU ARE THE TRAITOR HERE!!!

Challenge: Beefy187

[shlin28]

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.

[shlin28]

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

Let's not forget there is no case in the first round, we seldom have any information to go on unless a detective get's lucky - which is unlikely in such a big game.

Although, ATPG, I don't understand why you'd want to challenge a player so early on in the game ? Surely this is playing with fire ?

When ATPG gets votes, he often goes through motions like this in an attempt to convince people he's innocent. I bet if you looked back at his previous games, you'd find that in the majority of rounds when he's under pressure, he ends up voting for himself (and usually later unvoting). It's an usual method of playing and has gotten him lynched multiple times, but it's standard for ATPG.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

I have acquired Reenk Roink as a recruit in the hope that I may serve my Lord Takeda in the best way possible... he has put his vote and his right to challenge in my hands, I have decided he shall remain on his abstain vote (can't break tradition) but from the next go onwards he shall be doubling up my vote...

We will discuss his dueling skill and wait for a suitable opponent to become clear before challenging, the great warrior Reenk Roink should not die in some random battle but in the fight for our might Lord Takeda!

Interesting tactic gents. I'll be interested in seeing what it generates.

No no see, he doesn't change his vote off himself willingly, but only when "dozens of people" have urged him privately to do so.

"Hmph, what madness is this?! Look at you all, calling yourselves warriors! At each others throats, when you forget we are brothers, both on and off the battlefield! We are meant to hang together, not let paranoia engulf us!

I Vote:TiberiusBeskar

My vote will always be to abstain or to insure a tie - I will not have blood spilled for such foolishness, only in battle shall it be so!"

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'd say about 50% of the valid challenges so far involve ATPG. I think we should lay the votes off him and wait to see how he performs in a duel.

[Beskar]

Since The Pizza Guy wants to leave, even voting for himself, I will respect his wishes to do so.

Unvote: Sasaki Kojiro

[Gregoshi]

He got that idea from me! But I am stronger as I have the tastily dead Late Pineapple Samurai and the deliciously dead Late Lord Beefy at my side.

Let us not forget we have ninja and traitors - they have the same goal perhaps but my companions are at odds over the alliance of said ne'er do wells. Pineapple thinks they work apart, the right hand ignorant of the left hand. Lord Beefy, however, feels rather boney today. And thus their debate will go on until we have more food to break the tie. Tis time to head to the Mess Hall and recruit the pizzaguy before he is lynched, slain or eaten.

Lastly, before I depart, if our great Lord Shingen wishes to impart some guidance upon we indecisive members of the lynch mob, it will be well received by this Trio! I'd not wish to abstain my Honour.
