A Bridge Zhou Far - Three Stars Rising [Concluded]

[Azathoth]

I'll have a good laugh if he proves to be unlynchable after all.

Bah, I never claimed that.

Well, hopefully I can make it to Day 2 next time. :|

[Subotan]

It is to be hoped that the world is in the last era of strife. The vast majority of human beings have already prepared or are preparing to fight a war that will bring justice to the oppressed people of the world. No matter how long this war may last, there is no doubt that it will be followed by an unprecedented epoch of peace The war that we are fighting today for the freedom of all human beings, and the independent, happy, and liberal China that we are fighting to establish will be a part of that new world order. A conception like this is difficult for the simple-minded militarist to grasp and it must therefore be carefully explained to him. – Mao Zedong on Guerrila Warfare



The People’s Extraordinary Detachment had spent all day trudging along the narrow terraces that crisscrossed a huge expanse of rice paddies. Winding their way through the cracks in the mirrored surface, the discussion about who was guilty for the attack on Beskar yesterday. Beskar himself was very boastful, and his claims of martial prowess had inklings of hubris.

Two main possible culprits stood out, Beefy187 and Azathoth. Beefy had been caught saying something in Japanese, and the fury of the Communists nearly drove them to kill him on the spot. Beefy panicked, and claimed that it was just a phrase he had picked up in Japan whilst studying Marxism there, and that he really really was a dedicated Communist. So dedicated in fact, that he was prepared to die defending someone from the ravages of the Counter-Revolution. PEXDET was not really satisfied with this excuse, but their attention shifted to another, Azathoth. Azathoth was loud and pedantic, giving the illusion that he was invincible to the power of the revolution, when Sasaki Jojiro said his name wrong.



In the end, as the Socialists entered the town of Daozhen, Azathoth was narrowly chosen over Beefy187 to be the most likely culprit of last night’s attack. Azathoth seemed resigned to his rate. GeneralHankerchief stood before the Maoists and said:

“So it seems that we have decided Azathoth is a counter-revolutionary. Let this be a lesson to any other reactionaries who may lurk within us. This is your fate. ”

And with that, GeneralHankerchief immediately pulled his imitation Mauser out of his holster and shot Azathoth, once, twice, three times, in the chest, thigh and face. Azathoth fell to the floor with a strangled, inhuman noise. The guerrillas looked on glumly.

“That was necessary” muttered GeneralHankerchief. “ I shall investigate Azathoth's belongings, and within three days we shall have a confirmation as to his purpose among us, and whether that purpose was benign.But now onto the next order of business. Whilst staying in this admittedly grotty town, we have to decide on a policy towards peasants we will encounter on our journeys. On one hand, we need as much food as possible to survive, but official Party line is that we must treat the farmers with kindness, so as not to upset them and turn them away from the fruits of Marxism when our revolution is inevitably victorious. I shall delegate the discussion to you, ad I shall enforce any decision we all come to a consensus on.”

It is now the night phase. In this phase, there is an Incident. Please submit your ideas for policy in the form Propose:Blah blah blah and agree with proposals with Agree:Azathoth.

On a slightly different note, I’m going to allow the words “Nip”, “Jap” and variants upon, for the purposes of roleplaying. I’m guessing that the Chinese in this period used much stronger words than “Nippo” to describe the Japanese invaders. I don’t need to make it clear that any use of such words other than for RP will be dealt with.

This phase shall end in 23 hours at 21:00 GMT +1

[Azathoth]

No tally for all the votes?

[Beskar]

Nippon = Name of Japan in Japanese.
Nippo was simply Nippon without the n, as "Nippons" or "Nippeons" or "Nippowegians" to actually describe some one from Nippon sound quite right.

As far as I know, it isn't an insult in anyway.

[Subotan]

Yes, I know that, but the way you were using it was (in-game) obviously derogatory.

[shlin28]

Azathoth - 5 - Sasaki, CDF, Chaotix, autolycus, Shlin

Erm, I voted ACIN instead...

[autolycus]

I propose the following
propose: That we require a donation from each farmer of a seventh of his crop to our worthy cause, and that we compensate the farmers of each town with an hour's service in their fields each morning before we continue onwards.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Agree: autolycus


Such a course is the heart and soul of the revolution.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Erm, I voted ACIN instead...

I think he confused you and Double A

[Beefy187]

I'm happy to die via vig/ protection tonight if you could tell me the target.
I've got a busy day today, but I should make it back before the deadline.

[Subotan]

Btw, I would like some opinion about my write-ups. This is the first game I have done where they have been so long, and there have been so many of them, and I was just wondering what you all thought of things like the general writing style, the pictures, the Mao quotes at the beginning of phase etc. It's no good waiting for the game to finish and then saying "Oh yeah, the pictures really sucked and distracted from the write-ups", so I'd prefer any criticism now rather than later.

[Renata]

@Renata and Winston

So being the second person to vote for a particular player is called bandwaggoning?

heard of "3rd one on the bandwagon is usually the scummy one?" we'll im not 3rd thats for sure

I'm SURE theres a bigger bandwaggon than that on Autolycus

You two are deffinitely being edgy over someone who isn't even anywhere near being lynched

I'll be *watching* you two

I'll be voting you.

[Double A]

Agree: Comrade autolycus

I would have said something like we only ask for part of their crops, but he did that 1 hour thing. That's even better than mine.

[Renata]

agree: Autolycus

Also, having caught up (and reading in reverse order as usual): by the hairy back of the great Mao was that ever a stupid lynch.

[landlubber]

Agree: Autolycus.

[a completely inoffensive name]

Anyone who is voting for me even though I am an officer, should automatically have the FoS pointed at them. I have proved my loyalty to the only people who need to know who I am, and they have trusted me with this position. Message me if you are interested some sanctioned groups for various purposes.

[GeneralHankerchief]

In case he didn't make it clear in one of the posts, Azathoth was one of the people who was protecting Beskar.

Great start, guys.

[Romanic]

I like it all Subo, the writeups are great and the pictures are a nice touch. I like your humor, how you describe what happened in the game thread. Good job, keep it up!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Calming down a bit...

I need at least 11 volunteers for tonight. Some of you have been contacted already.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I would help out.

[Romanic]

In case he didn't make it clear in one of the posts, Azathoth was one of the people who was protecting Beskar.

Great start, guys.

The Japanese attacked Beskar so as far as I know, Azathoth could have been Kuomintang. He also could have be a Japanese trying to gain our trust. It would be prudent not to confirm people as PEXDET just because they successfully protected someone.

If I understand the last writeup correctly, we will know Azathoth's faction in three days.

“That was necessary” muttered GeneralHankerchief. “ I shall investigate Azathoth's belongings, and within three days we shall have a confirmation as to his purpose among us, and whether that purpose was benign.

[Captain Blackadder]

agree: Autolycus

That is indeed a worthy suggestion comrade for the glroy of the revolution

[Pinman]

Agree: Autolycus

I concur, comrade.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

In case he didn't make it clear in one of the posts, Azathoth was one of the people who was protecting Beskar.

Great start, guys.

Hmm, so you wanted to string up the bodyguard because he was told about the attack, but it's terrible that one of the people who actually had something to gain from the stopped attack was lynched? Remember capo III GH.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Stop being so paranoid, at least in this instance. Azathoth was a very confused newbie playing his first ever game who didn't even know how to send orders properly, which I think Subotan himself confirmed in the thread. This is the deep cover operative we lynched in the very first day? No, instead you made me lose one of the people that I could temporarily trust until our officers could get a better read on him.

[Death is yonder]

Agree: Proposal by Comrade Autolycus

That is a very worthy proposal indeed Comrade, we shall further the causes of the revolution by proving we are much unlike the destructive KMT fools, all the while our men are fed and our peasant brothers are compensated.

[Chaotix]

Agree: autolycus

I might have suggested something that serves us more than them, but I suppose this will do.

[miotas]

agree: autolycus

[Cute Wolf]

agree: autolycus

[Jolt]

Agree: Autolycus
