Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

[Seamus Fermanagh]

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.

Your surname translates as "Donner" doesn't it?

Your surname translates as "Donner" doesn't it?

How did you determine that? All I was able to determine in seaching was

Kawazoe = "riverside" (I think)
Sadako = a girl's name

First I was a woman (I gather now) who thought I was a man who discover he's a woman. Don't confuse the matter any more by implying I'm a reindeer.

Cool!

Neverthless, would you like to elaborate on your vote?

[Banquo's Ghost]

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.

Vote: Askthepizzaguy.

Day 1 - Conclusion

Hour of the Cock

Fujiwara Kazunari watched how the little bird tripped up and down in the cold, white carpet. The little one looked around him and picked in the snow, looking for food. All of the sudden, frightened by nothing in particular, the little bird jumped up and flew away.

Fujiwara smiled as he saw the bird, free in the sky. The little one probably already had forgotten what frightened him and was now enjoying the magnificent landscape, hardly noticing the silly little figures down there.

Allthough Fujiwara was at peace, the pain in his belly became unbearable. Before the smile could leave his face, the sword of his kaishakunin struck mercifully.

The Tiger sat silent on his platform. He nodded slowly as a gesture of respect for a good dead.

"Let us hope that he was the traitor. Good night, men."

The Tiger nodded once more, stood up and went inside.

Orders were given and the men prepared for the night.

Challenges
1. Sasaki vs. Ibn-Khaldun
2. Caius vs. TiberiusBeskar
3. Glenn vs. Northnovas
4. Ignoramus vs. woad&fangs

Note: since ATPG got lynched, the challenges involving ATPG were null and void; therefore the next challenges issued are taken into account. One of these challenges will be chosen at random by the host and the duel will take place before the next day starts. If one of the duelists would become the target of an assassination attempt and his duel was the one chose by the gods of random, then no duel will take place.

Tiberius, your vote shift was nothing but personal protection. That is not inherently wrong, but this far in, especially after your "whew, made it" post, just strikes me wrong....

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.

[Beskar]

2. Caius vs. TiberiusBeskar

That's fun, with challenges and bandwagon on me, I am not going to get any rest this entire game to sit back relax and drink sake.

[LittleGrizzly]

We have lost one of greatest samurai this night, shamed by the distrust shown in him by his fellow samurai he commited seppku in an effort to prove his ultimate loyalty to our great lord Takeda. We could all learn a lesson from such an honourable warrior.

*bows deeply*

[Chaotix]

Ah. I've missed the vote. I'll be here for the next.

Keeping track of three games while hosting another can be difficult...

[Thermal]

Touche with Chaotix, for my sanity and for the Buddhist way please be careful when you post, I'm sure very few are going to make a habit of reading through 300 new posts each time they come on.....

[Gregoshi]

We lost an honourable samurai today. Fortunately, I'm good at finding things. The truly Late Atpg will live on as part of my expanding sub-clan Fodo. I shall carry his family crust with Honour.



The search is on again. Beskar seems to have lost his Tiberius, but I'm on it! Really! What an awkward time to lose a name. How am I ever to find ninjas and traitors if I'm looking for this other stuff? Um, can anyone tell me what a Tiberius looks like?

[Gregoshi]

...please be careful when you post, I'm sure very few are going to make a habit of reading through 300 new posts each time they come on.....

Then the Fodo clan shall take a vow of silence. We'll be as quiet as a nin-, er, monk. Yes, monk. Good night all.

Hmmm...a Fodo Niner Monk...wonder what his favorite team is in football...

[PershsNhpios]

Hey! I can do a good impression of Mr. T too!

Well, apparentry I can't type with an accent anymore, because when the politically correct readers at home sound out my words, they appear to be racially discriminative.
What a shame! Ha erse can I act rike shapanez?

Nevermind, I only typed in such a manner because I thought the first round would be pure nonsense anyway.
But although the lynch choices were unfounded and wrong, I really enjoyed reading the discussion that went on.

If I die tonight, it will be due to political incorrectness!

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.

I doubt you are a high-priority kill. Any game I've seen you in, you have been a lightning rod. So, unless you're random.org'd tonight, I expect they'll allow you to weave your own rope. Unless, that is, you're one of those selecting the targets?

[Beskar]

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.

Fujiwara Kazunari's spirit joins the land of wind and ghosts....

I could have saved myself with my vote. I did not. Lord Takeda Shingen ordered my death, and that is what I gave him. All of you should do the same. Disobeying the Lord shows your true loyalties. And no, I was not a traitor, obviously.

[Beefy187]

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

*takes out his samurai blade*

YOU ARE THE TRAITOR HERE!!!

Challenge: Beefy187

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.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

He was just poking you to get a reaction. Mission accomplished.
