Swords in the Moon [Concluded]

[Louis VI the Fat]

TinCow doesn't strike me as guilty.

Beskar and Stephen Asen I don't know. Either could be lying trough his teeth. Maybe neither. Why don't you two fight out your feud in a direct duel? Should be awesome!

If I'd be still alive, I'd really be going after the people who didn't send in their battle ratings to CA. Even if not sending the PM is too silly to be likely mafia, it's just not helpful. They should've been send ages ago, before battle ratings were publically discussed.
For example, maybe with a complete list several other unlikely ratings would've been known to CA and maybe Shlin wouldn't have been lynched?

Rhyfelwer has challenged several times and has not send in his rating to CA. What's up with that, Rhy?

[KukriKhan]

Sigurd's explanation holds true only if Andres uses the same system that Sigurd does, which I find unlikely.

Yes, but it's enough to move him down from the top of my "must lynch soon" list. For today, anyway.

[FactionHeir]

FoS Kagemusha for desperate attempt

[Death is yonder]

Well, obviously he would not follow it in its whole, but he would take a general idea of it and warp it for his own purposes . So while Sigurd's method is not the real method, it is what inspired it therefore the essence of it would roughly be present.

[Beefy187]

For takas defence, I believe he is extremely busy in RL right now. He dropped out of my game too. Havn't seen him around since

[Captain Blackadder]

Vote Rhyfelwer

Pressure vote send in the dual score.

[FactionHeir]

I think pressuring to send in scores is rather late now with role PMs out in the open along with several duel scores.

[Gregoshi]

From the game setup/rules post:

V. THANK YOU
...
- Again to Sigurd, for giving me his Midgard excel sheet and summary which was a great help for setting up the duel system
...

Andres has also said once or twice that it is possible for a lesser to defeat a greater so that even the lowliest has a chance to win. There is a lot of discussion on this and I don't think it is productive but rather a distraction. Let's stay focused on things that matter! I don't know yet what all the things are that matter, but I seek them. My gut tells me the lengthy discussion on the mechanics of the battle system doesn't seem to be one of them.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Now for some naming and shaming. The only 5 people who I haven't received a duel rating from are the following people:

• Peasant Phill
• taka
  
• Rhyfelwyr
• Kagemusha
• Tristan de Castelreng

???

I sent you a PM, saying:

Hi, my battle rating is x

[Rhyfelwyr]

Checked my sent items, CA I sent you the duel rating 3 days ago.

Please check your PM's and confirm this since people are lynching me for it.

[Husar]

Hint: It's currently night in Australia and the day phase ends at around 7am or so there.

Vote: TinCow

Well, I still think the whole role PM thing etc were rather not so good and voting Beskar every round would get boring, especially since he won't get lynched anyway. Voting is the only thing I've left with that injury and I want to kill someone now.

[FactionHeir]

Voting is the only thing I've left with that injury and I want to kill someone now.

That's typical mafia behavior I'd vote you if you weren't confirmed innocent.

[Quintus.JC]

Tincow doesn't look guilty to me, also his PM allegelly from Andres about increased duel score looked genuine and consistant with the score system. Beskar's might appears to be aggresive, but I'm increasingly begin to believe that he is really innocent.

Vote: Tristan de Castelreng

The most suspcious person on CA's list.

[TinCow]

Well, I still think the whole role PM thing etc were rather not so good

Yeesh, the duel result is a perfectly legitimate reason to lynch me and there's not much more I can say about that one. The role PM thing is getting exasperating though. I've never played another game in which pressuring a lurker and exposing townie role PMs was considered scummy.

[Gregoshi]

Is it possible for the mafias to have a forged pms? Like a cover pms?
I think they do in most mafia games. So pm doesn't give us much clues.

The role PMs thus far posted seem very familiar to this dead geisha-who-was-pretending-to-be-a-samurai. So, much like this modest geisha, they reveal little about what's underneath and what goes on under the covers. I shan't kiss and tell. I'm not that kind of girl. But I do know how to flirt.

[Beskar]

Alright, I am back from my exams, I will be reading through the thread now.

So did you get a cover role?

[Beskar]

Ok, I read the thread. I was tempted to slap a few people for some stupid comments, however, since I am not the Mafia and I believe TinCow isn't a Mafia member either, and the only susipicious person on CA's lsit is Tristan de Castrelreng, I will vote for him.

Vote: Tristan de Castrelreng.

Thanks Quintus. As for the whole aggressive thing, I even explained the action during the night phase, it was a tactic called "Pressure Can" in order to try to expose Stephen Asen's role, if he had one, then I stopped it and apolgoised, as I didn't actually want to OOC end up offending Stephen Asen for real.

[Rhyfelwyr]

I don't believe this I have 3 votes for not sending in my duel score even though I did.

CA GET HERE NOW AND TELL THEM!

[Gregoshi]

So did you get a cover role?

That's a rather direct thing to say to say to a girl. But I should be nice to you atheotes, because I started it by saying a lewd thing.

[Wishazu]

Asking what is the highest known battle rating, using this as your reasoning:



What makes this strange, is that for someone who doesn't want to wait around and be murdered in your sleep, you've made awfully few challenges. None in fact. Add to that the fact that your voting reasons haven't been the most convincing and you're suspicious enough for my vote.

Of course, I just wanted the guy (CountArach) who has everyones scores to let me know whether mine was a good or bad rating. I fail to see how that is suspicious. I have not challenged anyone because I have since discovered from a post by Sasaki that my battle rating is complete rubbish. Waiting around to be murdered in my sleep actually sounds like a better, long term strategy for survival than attempting to fight duels that I simply cannot win.

As far as I can tell neither you, Tincow or Stephen A. strikes me as guilty. However Tincow is a very experienced player capable of ever-changing playing style both as town or scum. As for you I don't see much wrong with aggressive behaviour to pressure others into making mistakes, as long as that aggressiveness remains in game. I did get annoyed with your editing tally a little bit. As for Stephen it's the first time I've played with him, can't really say much about him but I couldn't see anything solid when people bandwaggoned him and nearly got him lynched.

Retracing my vote I was considering of putting my vote on Taka, but Beefy came and out and gave a credible in his defence. So I suppose we'll concentrate on him later or Andres will just WoG him if he continues to be too busy in RL.

This is confirmation that cover pm's were sent out--there was no confirmation before this. TinCow's contradictions go in a full circle. First it is proof of innocence, then it is no proof at all, then it is back to being proof again.

[Gregoshi]

Sasaki! You understand women well for a samurai.

I wonder how
he handles his
sword?

Sasaki later became skilled in the wielding of a nōdachi, and used one he called "The Laundry-Drying Pole" as his main weapon.

[Haudegen]

Ok, so the defense with role-pm´s is useless.

In this case, i will

[Banquo's Ghost]

I'm not convinced by the arguments for TinCow - his PM post looks authentic to me.

In the absence of any response from CountArach, I must say that with little to go on for anyone, Rhyfelwyr looks most suspicious. He seemed to pick up on Kagemusha's plea to CA and repeat it quickly. Perhaps he is counting on CA not to have the time to post a response?

A thin line of reasoning, to be sure, but the only thread I can find that has some validity to me. I remain to be convinced though, Rhyf.

Vote: Rhyfelwyr.

[Prince Cobra]

You missed Count Arach voting on TinCow. But why do I have the persistent feeling we are going to lynch another townie? Like Tosa? TinCow could be indeed excellent manipulator and yet... my gut feeling says something is not right. I wish we had at least once a good evidence against somebody.

Hmm...
