Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

[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....

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.

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

[atheotes]

Vote: Abstain

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

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!!!

[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?

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.

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....

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.

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.
