I kept a diary from sign-up phase until the final night. It's (very) long, about 11 pages in Word. It's written from the perspective of a spectator, as the game advanced. I didn't always bother to bold names and such or correct grammar/spelling mistakes but I thought you'd appreciate it if it were posted quickly, so here it is. I hope you enjoy it :
Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


Sign-up phase.

Ok, we're still in the sign-up phase when I write this. I must say, I'm quite impressed by the turnout. At the moment, I just added woad&fangs to the list. He's number 58.

When I first saw the subforum on Monday evening, there were about 19 players signed up. Not bad for one day without advertising or PM'ing, but still not enough. The game can be played with 35, but 50 would be sweet.

I started to mass pm and posted ads in the Gameroom and the Entrance Hall. I also popped in in random threads, looking for an opportunity to say "join"

Little did I know that I would get such a massive response. When it reached 40, I sneakily edited the OP and changed max 50 to max 60. We're now at 58!

And look at those names: all the "usual suspects" are there: Sasaki, TinCow, Reenk Roink, Seamus, Beefy, 'khaan, GH, ATPG, Ichigo, ... You name a Gameroom regular and he's on the list. Great!

But there are some wonderful "unusual suspects", like the punmaster Gregoshi. Oh, I'm so looking forward to see how he plays. And Kukri has joined! Banquo finally gives in to the temptation and even the boss, TosaInu, wants to play. Tosa! What kept you so long. I tried to get him to join in the past and I guess other hosts tried to convince him as well in the past, so I figured that he would never join and look now. Guess it's the Sengoku Jidai setting that's too much for him.

Many oldtimers coming back from retirement as well: CR, Peasant Phill, Husar, Haudegen,...

What am I doing? Repeating the playerlist... People don't want to read that when they see "hosts'" write-up.

Only 2 places left.

Stress?

Preparations had to go "fast". I have all roles worked out in my head, still not sure about a few abilities though.

Every player will get a unique character name, so I'll have to pm each player individually. This kinda sucks; it's much easier to send the townie pm's to 30 at a time. Oh well.

4 unique ninja role pm's, 1 geisha pm, 1 shinobi pm, 1 Kagemusha pm, 2 or 3 swordmaster pm's, 1 Shingen pm, 1 pm for the "veteran samurai" and 1 pm for the "young samurai". All of it is in my head, just need to write it down. Won't have much time tonight, hopefully I get a few done anyway.

The more I think about this, the deeper my respect for Seamus. In Capo each player has night abilities. Seamus, you are now officially crazy

“ Procastrinate
“ causes me alot of stress
“ prepare earlier

Sign-ups are closed!

Well, Yaropolk really got lucky! Just in time and that makes 64.

I've made an excel sheet with all character names and special roles. The first 14 will get a special role from the very start.

First I'll throw two dice with random.org. That's the number of times I'm going to let the list randomizer randomise all the names. I'll put the names in that order in my excel sheet and that's how the roles will be decided.

Ok, roles are decided.

Yaropolk, I hope you bought a lottery ticket today, because this is really your lucky day! Signed-up just in time and now you got the ninja master role.

Locking thread for distributing role pm’s and we’re ready for kick off.

Game.

Night 1 comment:
Lord Winter was the first to send in his night order. Unsurprisingly, Sasaki wants all bodyguards to protect him. Logical choice, since everybody thinks CA is unreachable. The traitors will investigate two high profile players, TinCow and Sasaki. Good for Sasaki that he choses the three bodyguards to protect him. The investigation on Sasaki will fail. Town will get a first blow tonight, since shlin28 will kill Lord Winter. That's unfortunate, but oh well. Some pretty funny stuff being posted night 1. Post #165 is a perfect example of the reason why I always wanted to see Gregoshi in a mafia game. And if TinCow keeps making me laugh in each mafia game I play or host, I'll nominate him as funniest member again. Who ever said lawyers can't be fun? The mafia will kill Khazaar and spl1tper50n4lity. Good choices, allthough I kinda feel sorry for them. It's never fun to go before the game really started. Sorry guys. I hope you'll still keep following the game. Better luck next time!

I wonder if the reduced kills will make them speculate about lynching a lurker. Oh well, if that’s the case, so bei t.

Day 1
All roles pretty much flew under the radar, not unusual on the first day. Sasaki got a vote from Ichigo, as always. Poor TiberiusBeskar seems to get the full frontal attack from Sasaki. I can almost feel the pain of the poor chap. "What? What have I done? Why me?" He doesn't give up though, that's the spirit good sir! Never go down quietly, regardless of your role.But it seems like ATPG is going to be the lynch for today. Poor boy, he finally tries to change his style because people complain about his annoying massive amounts of posts and now that he obliges, they're going to lynch him. It was to be expected, I guess. Oh well, once town is used to his new style, he'll manage to survive a bit longer in future games, I hope. Since it's always a bit sad to have to go early, I'll make something beautiful from the lynch write-up. Nothing cruel, just a modest, honorable seppuku.

Night 2
Ninja team:
- students:kill The Spartan, Olavi, Iskander III= succes

Takeda team:
- Husar: protect Sasaki
- gobbledygook : protect Sasaki
- glyphz : protect Sasaki
- Sasaki: remove Sasaki duel
Night 2 comment.
No surprises for the Night orders of the Takeda team. Sasaki removed his duel from the list and the three swordmasters will protect him. Hmmm, the traitors will kill 'khaan and investigate Beefy187 and Gregoshi. Unfortunately, the ninja target Olavi. Since the traitors' orders were first, their kill and investigation will succeed. A pity Olavi didn't make it to N3, so it'll be shlin28 and the traitor recruit. Probably,the second geisha will get wasted soon. Traitors are geisha killers… Gregoshi wants to spend the night with Sasaki. The geisha are the only ones capable of getting through Shingens' defence, so tonight, Greg will discover Sasaki's secret and they'll be able to coordinate. Iskander III, The Spartan and Olavi will have to go, the ninja team continues the tactic to kill fairly new players. The master will investigate AggonyDuck and FactionHeir. He'll try to investigate Sasaki again, but he'll fail. I'll let him be caught by a samurai, let's see if they get the hint that Sasaki is not reachable at the moment.

Day 2

Still 55 alive. Oh well, it's still doable. Of the power roles, we have one good guy and one bad guy down. The traitors who had to start underpowered will have one recruit, to chose of whoever survives from this list:
pevergreen, Psychonaut, Yoyoma1910, Rhyfelwyr, Kukri, Caius, GH, YLC, Peasant Phill, Glenn, ajax, CaptainB or CR (the veteran samurai). I’ll let random.org pick three of them and attribute a number to each of those. Shlin28 will have to chose 1, 2 or 3.

Scummy post #488 by Yaropolk, if you ask me. Some will pick on that undoubtedly. Beskar unvotes abstain; technically speaking, he voted Yaropolk when he told Sasaki how to unvote and vote, but I won't nitpick. Yet… :)

Stephen Assen is getting bandwagoned for no particular reason, so it seems. The timing of his posting? His absence during the beginning of the game? Come on guys; you should know by now that I accept orders by proxy, so even if he were mafia, his team mates would have sent in orders. Certainly with teams of 4 and 2, mafia won't fail to get in their orders in time. Oh well. I'm starting to feel sorry for Stephen now, he was so enthusiastic before the game started and felt really bad because he couldn't joinin the first days. Oh well, it's a cruel game.

It seems now like Stephen is getting a few unvotes and a new bandwagon starts, slightly unnoticed, against poor Sigurd who's crime is being absent.

Sigurd gets lynched. A lot of talk in the previous round. Yaropolk was able to slip under the radar and no important roles have been under real pressure.

N3

Ok, the traitors will be able to recruit. They can pick from 1. Kukri 2. Captain Blackadder 3. Ajaxfetish. Let's hope none of the recruits gets targeted by the ninja…

Ninja team:
- students:kill Chaotix, pevergreen, Thermal Mercury: succes
- Master: investigate Sasaki (fail), Beskar (succes), Beefy (succes)
Traitors:
- shlin28:kill Gregoshi
- Captain Blackadder : no orders
geisha 2 (Gregoshi)killed
Shinobi (Banquo): investigate TinCow and Beskar (succes)
Takeda team:
- Husar: protect Sasaki
- gobbledygook : protect Sasaki
- glyphz: protect Sasaki
- Sasaki: remove duel Sasaki vs. AggonyDuck

Night 3 comment.
shlin28 picks number 2… Captain Blackadder it is then. Poor Gregoshi dies. A pity, he was really starting to get the hang of it and having alot of fun as well, so it seems. Do we have a new mafia addict? Let’s hope so.

No surprises with the Takeda orders.

Gah. All these name changes to pever[randomcolor]. Guys, this is not fun. I am not going to change my excel sheets because of this idiocy. Change avatar and put previous username in sig and custom title or get WoG'ed. Really, in a game this size, it's really very, very annoying to both host and other players to change your username mid game. Tempted to abuse mod powers.

Ha, the ninja aren't happy either. Three pevers will die tonight: Chaotix, Thermal and pevergreen. Another try to investigate Sasaki. Sorry guys, won't work.

Day 3

Hmmm, the dead of the pevers got TinCow a vote.

shlin28, sometimes it's pure joy to see you playing; I got a chuckle out of your "Yay! I got HoSd comment" Poor shlin getting a vote from w&f for being known for gruesome killings. It wasn’t him! Oh, the irony.

El Diablo challenges YLC and that's the third challenge in less than an hour already. Ok, challenging is fun and all, but I designed it as a tool for the town to help them trying to kill suspects, more like"ok we have two suspects, lynch one and four other players challenge the other suspect to make sure said suspect has to fight."

Thus far, the challenges have been wasted; it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t manage to have at least one scum fight. Oh well, should have thought of it. Temptation is too strong to resist. On the other hand, it gives every townie a touch of flavour, something to do individually. It makes townies feel like more than "just a boring townie". Perfectly understandable, but still, it's a bit of a waste to just challenge ahead.

Hmmm… 'khaan wants everyone to vote for TinCow. Poor TinCow. Pn the other hand, TC is capable of defending himself, but I'm more looking forward to see one of his sometimes hilarious posts. Keep some pressure on him guys, if I'm lucky, I get quite a few good laughs out of this. Oh, the joys of being an evil god… Muahahahaha

Ok, GH voted 'khaan and now LittleGrizzly even made a whole case against him. He's dead, guys! 'khaan's already dead!Got killed two nights ago…Hmmm… no bandwagon on TinCow, instead shlin28 seems to be prime suspect. shlin, shlin, shlin I provided you with a flawless cover pm and you sent a different battle rating than the one mentioned in it… Tsk, tsk, tsk… Reminds me of the Settlement… Oh well. Guess Blackadder will be on his own after today.

Night 4

Ninja team:
- students: kill LittleGrizzly, Reenk Roink, Louis VI the Fat (succes)
- Master:Investigate Seamus, Stephen Asen, CA (succes)
Traitors:
- Captain Blackadder: kill Sasaki : fails
Shinobi (Banquo): investigate CR and GH (succes)
Takeda team:
- Husar: protect Sasaki
- gobbledygook: protect Sasaki
- glyphz: protect Sasaki
- Sasakiremove GH vs. Rhyfelwyr

Night 4 comment

Hmmm… Ninja team seems to have discovered the truth about CA (cf. quikctopic) and are going to investigate him to be sure. You guys figured it out rather quick; nice one guys. Captain B will attack Sasaki, he'll be in for a surprise! Maybe he'll figure it out as well tonight. Kage (post 1073), you're a bit rusty indeed…

Duel will be between El Diablo and YLC, close victory for YLC.

Day 4

Poor Tosa posts to avoid the WoG and gets pressured straight away. Ah well, not unusual for a player who suddenly pops up again. Let's see how this goes. Sasaki surviving an attack may bring him into trouble instead of clearing him. After all, town doesn’t know what extra abilities the ninja master disposes of.

Town seems to be lazy today; the Tosa lynch seems kind of silly to me. I won't be surprised if he gets lynched with a low amount of votes. Turnout for this day will be low, I'm afraid. Prodded a few players at the risk of getting WoG'ed.

Poor LittleGrizzly, even when he's dead, he's a popular lynch target

This is going to be a good round for ninja and the remaining traitor. No suspicion or pressure whatsoever on them.

Night 5

What did TinCow do wrong? It's not his fault Rhyfelwyr isn't paying attention by revealing his role after the lynch scene was already posted!

Ninja team:
- students:kill Husar, Crazed Rabbit, Glenn (Husar fails)
- Master:Investigate YLC, Kage, Kukri
Traitors:
- Captain Blackadder: kill AVSM : succes
Shinobi (Banquo) investigate Seamus and Stephen Asen (succes – innocent samurai)
Takeda team:
- Husar: protect Sasaki
- gobbledygook: protect Sasaki
- glyphz: protect Sasaki
- Sasaki: remove Glenn vs. Rhyfelwyr

D5

TinCow winning the duel won't do much good for him; he'll be even more suspicious by now and Sasaki will probably be convinced of his guilt. Hopefully this will be a good round with plenty of discussion.

Stephen Asen and Beskar will probably be at each others' throat this round. Some drama is always good. Beskar seems to get alot of votes, again. A lot to do about the question if mafia has townie pm's or not. TinCow probably feels like I felt in Midgard; just a plain old townie with a low batterating who won against a stronger opponent, right after a round where there was already some suspicion.

It really sucks if you're innocent, but coincidence make it look like there are facts pointing to your guilt.

In the meanwhile, both mafia and the last remaining traitor are doing very well by avoiding suspicion.

N6

Ninja team:
- students: kill Death is yonder, Haudegen, Captain Blackadder (succes)
- Master:Investigate Caius, woad&fangs, Rhyfelwyr (succeeds)
Traitors:
- Captain Blackadder: kill Husar
Shinobi (Banquo): investigate Tristan de Castelreng and Quintus.JC (succes!)
Takeda team:
- Husar : protect Sasaki
- gobbledygook: protect Sasaki
- glyphz : protect Sasaki
- Sasaki: remove White_Eyes:D vs. Sasaki

A very interesting night!

1) the first bodyguard, Husar, will die, 2) a cross kill will take out the last remaining traitor and 3) the Shinobi will detect his first ninja!

Town will be getting back on its' feet. Add to that the fact that Ichigo is apparently considered a suspect and all of the sudden, after several wasted lynches and duels, things look pretty good for the townies.

D6

Hmmm… GH is under suspicion because of his duel. The anger mentioned in the write-up was because Beefy and GH have challenged each other quite a few times (4 days in a row they had challenged each other) and thus it seemed fitting to reflect that in the write-up as if they were two samurai hating each other. As for the bow to Takeda, I didn't write that he did not bow, I just didn't mention it. That would be a bit too easy now.

Aha, AggonyDuck figured it out: CA is Sasaki's Kagemusha, but now he believes Sasaki is the ninja master. Both would make sense from an uninformed townie point of view. Good thinking, AggonyDuck Banquo revealed and decided to use his poison on Kukrikhan. Apparently, Banquo was getting afraid that he was going to get killed next night and decided to reveal. Might prove to be the correct path, but I'm unsure. I would have used the poison on Quintus.JC and continued investigating. However, on the other hand, if he would have it right about getting killed next night, his reveal was the correct move to get rid of a ninja, a possible suspect and have some confirmed innocents. Only time will tell.

No counterclaim, town believes Banquo and Quintus.JC will die. Oh well, was to be expected. Still three mafiosi left; Ichigo has gotten some attention from Sasaki but town hasn't really picked up on it. Yaropolk got some attention very early in the game but is flying under the radar since then. Dutch hasn't got many attention, but his lurking will make it difficult for him near the end. At this stage, I predict a close townie victory.
N7
Ninja team:
- students: kill Gobbledygook, glyphz, Banquo - Gobbledygook: failure; glyphz and Banquo: succes!
- Master:Investigate taka, Psychonaut, Phill (succeeds)
Shinobi (Banquo): investigate Ichigo & ajaxfetish - night killed: fail!
Takeda team:
- gobbledygook : protect Sasaki
- glyphz : protect Sasaki
- Sasaki: remove Sasaki vs. AggonyDuck

No surprises in Sasaki's orders. If Banquo would have survived, he would have found another ninja through investigation. Might prove critical later on. Alas, he dies tonight, so his investigations fail. With two ninja left, they have a 1/3 chance to kill a bodyguard on first attempt; if both kills succeeds, then tonight is a severe blow for town.

Ok, random.org decided: attack on Gobbledygook fails, attack on glyphz succeeds. White_Eyes:D will fight AggonyDuck. Kukri will die from the poison of the Shinobi. I wonder what kind of speculation this will cause

D7

Poor Wishazu, one moment of not paying attention and a whole bandwagon against him. It's a bit silly, he votes and challenges two innocents and he doesn't claim that he doesn't believe Banquo, so he clearly missed a couple of posts; probably skimmed the thread instead of reading everything. I hope the bandwagon gets reversed.

Kudos to ajaxfetish for post #1645, those were indeed the hints I intended. Alot of people have been looking and have been reading things that weren't there, but ajax detected the real clues! Cookies for ajax

Hm, Sasaki reveals as Shingen. Not sure if this is the best move. Not that it matters though, the ninja already figured it out. After several rounds, he finally gets back to Yaropolk. I hope for town that he sticks to that case like a bloodhound and manages to convince them to lynch him. Town seems a bit lazy though. Hmmm, nobody seems to believe Sasaki's reveal. I guess that's what you get if you have a reputation of making excellent fake reveals; nobody believes you when it's genuine

Now Seamus gets pressured. I guess that was to be expected. He's not posting much, hasn't got a lot of suspicion and is still alive. Wishazu must feel a bit embarrassed now. He votes Yaropolk. Will the ninja master survive this round? With 3 ninja alive, 24 players left, 3 kills a night and one dead by duel, they are in a winning position. If they manage to survive this round, then victory lies in their grasp. Yaropolk probably gets lynched soon or late, but Ichigo and Dutch seem to do well. Ichigo was on Sasaki's radar a while ago, but doesn't get much attention now.

Hmm, GeneralHankerchief's case seems to be that he reads too much in a certain remark from Seamus. What I don't understand is,why would Seamus give clues about his own guilt? Then again, it's easy for me to talk. I know everything And now Kage unvotes Ichigo. His instincts were sound though.

Kage, Kage, I hope you'll do that stubborn thing in the next round,you know, when you refuse to listen to whatever the rest is saying and vote a person because you think he's guilty. I've seen you doing that before and many times, you've been correct. A sudden change of heart of GH, an order from Sasaki and all jump off from the Seamus bandwagon on the Peasant Phill bandwagon. There never really was a case made against him, so I wonder what triggered this. Guess I'll only know after I post this write-up.

I wonder if Sasaki will use his one time suicide ability on the Yaropolk-atheotes duel. He has been suspicious about Yaro on several occasions.

N8
Ninja team:
- students:kill Gobbledygook, CountArach, Sasaki Kojiro : succes!
- Master: assist students: succes!
Takeda team:
- gobbledygook : protect Sasaki
- Sasaki: atheotes and Yaropolk must commit seppuku

A very interesting night! The ninja are going to take out the remaining bodyguard and both Takeda brothers. Without protection and with the master assisting the students, both Takeda brothers are sitting ducks. Sasaki is going to put his unique ability to good use. He will order Yaropolk and atheotes to commit seppuku. Nice; using the ability following his instincts. Yaropolk won't be happy. The loss of the master is a serious blow for the ninja, but with all pro-town roles dead, his investigation ability wasn’t needed anymore.

All remaining townies are just that: townies; no need for a master to assist in getting rid of those. 16 alive, two of them ninja: the format of a relatively small, classic mafia game; nice. Town can afford only one more mistake, if my calculations are right and assuming only townies will die in the inevitable duels. Ok, they may get lucky; after all, TinCow was “lucky” in defeating a stronger opponent.

Be careful townies…

D8

I wonder how they will react to the write-up. Oh no, Gregoshi thinks CA, the Kagemusha, was in fact the leader of the traitors. Ha, that would have been nice indeed, but no.

Many suspects. FactionHeir, Seamus Fermanagh, Yoyoma and Beskar seem to be the prime suspects. Mafia are flying under the radar pretty well, no real pressure on them whatsoever.

Alot of focus on BQ's list, plenty of speculating about what is going on, my write-ups get analysed as well. Yoyoma1910 stops speaking in haiku's and posts normally. His analysis of last nights events in post #1853 is pretty much spot on.

One thing is starting to bother me in all this analysis of write-ups and events: you don't catch scum with it. Why don't you guys spend more time on analysing behaviour, voting and challenging pattern. Ducky had a good point when he said mafia likely didn't challenge. Either mafia has normal scores and they won't risk fighting because they could die or they have high scores and that's also a reason not to risk dueling, to avoid detection. Oh well, it's easy for me standing on the sideline and knowing all roles of course, but still; all this speculating on the possible twists and plot is nice (and I'm a bit flattered by it, since it implies the story is ok), but it's usefulness for detecting scum is limited.

Night 9
Ninja team:
- students: kill Caius, Wishazu, White_Eyes:D (succes)

A “reveal” from Louis. Obviously fake, but apparently some seem to buy it. Frenchie is having fun.

Mafia kills three players that aren't really considered as suspects. Good choices for the end game. In addition, they kill the two players that where in a challenge against Beskar, thus attempting to frame him. Will it work? Only time will tell.

Seamus will have to fight GeneralHankerchief. GH wins easily.

Day 9

Ok, GH is going after Rhyfelwyr on a gut feeling. Unfortunately, your guts are mistaken this time, GH.

Yoyoma1910 is suspicious of Tiberius because of the Hour of the Ox thing. That’s just me wanting to have the story somehow plausable. Three ninja can do all their kills at the same hour, with two ninja, one of them has to run around. I believe I once had a ninja killing on a different hour, I believe when they killed shlin28, so that he could perform his kill before getting killed himself. The hour thing is just something for me to play with.

Next game, I’ll just say that they shouldn’t look for clues. There are some small clues, but sometimes they just hint at basically useless information. As a general note: I’ll always try to have my write-ups to be correct and plausable. If a ninja gets lynched, I won’t reveal his identity, but I’ll keep it vague or somehow written that you could interprete it as ambiguous, that’s all. Apparently, people are now seeing clues everywhere in my write-ups, as if they consist entirely out of clues.
Beskar’s guts are right about Ichigo. But he has not made himself very popular with his aggressive style, so I wonder if they will follow his instincts.
Haha, briljant Ichigo-defense: “Yay!”
Everybody is pointing fingers at everybody right now, but the mafia escape attention.
Aha, GH switches to Dutch. Your paranaio seems to serve you better than your guts this time. Dutch already has a vote from woad. My old sensei from Mafia VI will have to start paying attention. Ajax votes Dutch for no other reason than to “avoid voting small”. Ok, if Dutch dies this round, it’s really bad luck and a bit silly. But hey, that’s how it sometimes goes in mafia: town lynches scum in such a weird or silly way and don’t realize they are lynching scum sometimes.
Husar named the two remaining mafiosi in post #1945. Unfortunatley, Husar is not the type who goes prosecuting, convincing people to follow his lead. A pity. For town, that is.
Eh, Kage gets “angry” with the constant poems of Yoyoma. They’ll be at each other’s throat. Drama is always good for the mafia, they say, but in the meanwhile Dutch is still getting lynched as it stands now.
And again, Husar is right in post #1992 saying Ichigo should be lynched. Beskar is proving to be a distraction. His aggressive style is now really annoying his fellow townies and I wonder if they want to lynch him because he’s scum or just because they’ve had enough of it. I can understand Beskar’s style, it guarantees your survival, since the mafia won’t kill such obvious lynch bait; but in the end, the town will eventually lynch you, if only because they don’t like the aggressive tone. In this phase, it doesn’t help town. Now is the time to say that it was an act because you wanted to survive until the end game and go analysing. Build your case against Ichigo, go quote posts, make a lengthy post, convince people instead of implying they are stupid for voting a player who is on the innocent list.
Poor FactionHeir complaining about being ignored. Ironically, his complaints are being… ignored.
GH is getting nervous with the vote switch. Ok Dutch gets lynched.
“Now, where’s the clue?”, I hear you saying. TinCow was right, my clues are not really clues, it’s something you have to notice, a vagueness or ambiguity.
Here it is the line: “Fukuda Ayumu (Dutch_guy) would not become a name remembered by history as the name of a man who had died in the service of his Lord; since he died before him. He had failed.”
The name would not be remebered by history; I don’t say the condemned is Fukuda, no, I’m just saying the (cover) name will not be remembered.

N10

Ninja can’t make up their mind, apparently. Deadline has almost passed and still no orders. Will send reminder pm.
Ninja team:
- Ichigo: kills: ajaxfetish, Chimpyang, Tiberius of the Drake: succes.
Good choices, imo. Ichigo will have to duel Beskar though. With a score of 5 against Beskar’s 3, he should win. TinCow has proven that one can get lucky though. Ok, Ichigo wins easily, according to the dice. Tempted to make the write-up reflecting Beskar’s playstyle so far; don’t want to bring Ichigo in trouble though. Oh well, sorry Ichi, I hope they won’t lynch you for this, but this duel will be a bit different.
D10
Hm, woad seems to be a suspct, but there’s no real case being built against him. It seems like town is clueless. No pressure on Ichigo whatsoever, just a remark from the General that the fact that Ichigo hasn’t voted yet could be interpreted as a scumtale.
Nope, it’s going between Rhyfelwyr and woad&fangs and a little bit of suspicion on GH. Ichigo flies under the radar just fine. This will be a close ninja victory and a well deserved one. Congratulations guys!
N11
No need to do a write-up about N11, they’ll see how it ends. Well, unless they get upset by it being posted in three or four (five?) times and get over to Belgium to lynch me before I can make the final post
