The Red Phoenix - Day 2

Final Tally:
Yaseikhaan (3) - ATPG, Joooray, atheotes
Joooray (2) - FH, DiY
atheotes (2) - Beskar, Sprig
FactionHeir (1) - Yaseikhaan


This day had been significantly more active than the previous one, now as most advisors sprung from their seats making elaborate arguments accusing the others of being the ones behind the death of Xiahou Dun. Probably the fire started at night and the fact that someone had indeed been killed probably had made them all edgy and eager to find out who was behind the plot, rather than caring about a spy who wouldn't harm them directly, yet which could endanger them in battle.
Regardless, hours passed and the council had focussed on three members, until atheotes rose from his seat and acused his colleague. "It was Yaseikhaan! Remember that he previously served our enemy Liu Bei and his heart has never left that petty wandering bandit!" Other advisors who had also accused Yaseikhaan nodded and cried in choir "atheotes is right! It can only be Xu Shu!"
Therefore Xu Shu was seized by the guards, and Cao Cao called. "What they say is exactly what I think. You served Liu Bei and your plans killed many lives when you were under him. While you served me, you couldn't come up with any devious plans of your own, and now that I am before my moment of glory, you intend to alienate me from my trusted advisors and have murdered my cousin? I suppose the death of your mother was not reason enough to understand you should never deal with that coward Liu Bei?" Cao Cao's expression than changed, "And you would dare kill me???" Cried Cao Cao, visibly angry. He continued "Guards, take this dog away and behead him. Send a messenger with his head to Liu Bei and tell him if he doesn't surrender, that will be his fate in the coming battle. Xu Shu said very little throughout the entire speech until Cao Cao ordered his guards to kill him. Only then he began shouting a volley of abuse "You tyrant! Wicked and vile rebel! Corrupt and mean soul! Despicable rat! You will pay for your crimes against the Han and the people! You-" By then the guards had already carried him out of the tent. The advisors continued hearing various loud sounds until they heard a sword cut through flesh, and everyone knew Xu Shu was no more.

As most advisors went back to their daily duties, Cao Cao thought that the arguments had been quite convincing and that Xu Shu was indeed the conspirator behind the killing.

With the day over, Cao Cao's staff went to their tents and while most thought it over, a few were not so sure yet.

Xu Shu, Junior Advisor of the Han Army was executed.

[atheotes]

Exactly, was Subotan would have otherwise replaced me.

Nevermind, I will get killed tonight anyway. atheotes is my killer.

lets see what happens tonight. and thanks for ensuring that i wont be killed tonight

[Beskar]

Oh wait, this is a small game, not a mini-mafia.

My big apologises Jolt for ever thinking of leaving.

[White_eyes:C]

Day 2 is over. Stand-by for execution.
White_Eyes:D has henceforth been replaced by Subotan.

ahhh.....sorry about that.....bad time to forget my password I guess..??

[Jolt]

No_problem:D

[FactionHeir]

atheotes is innocent obviously since he cast the deciding vote on khaan

[Askthepizzaguy]

Wait, Khaan was guilty? I can't tell.

I had been hounding him all game. What does that make me? Can I get a bodyguard or something?

[A Very Super Market]

Yes, he's guilty. Xu Shu was the historical traitor.

[Askthepizzaguy]

awwwww yeaaaahhhhh


*dances a jig*

[atheotes]

atheotes is innocent obviously since he cast the deciding vote on khaan

you had to spoil it for Beskar... didn't ya

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

and now i am no longer safe from nightkill

[Diana Abnoba]

@ ATPG

If Khaan IS guilty then yes, you will be next to die, I think. I too voted for him 1st round, then I was killed that night. (feel so special that I beat you this time, on getting murdered, ooooh!)

[Jolt]

awwwww yeaaaahhhhh


*dances a jig*

Tisk tisk, ATPG...Read the initial storyline. It says who the two Mafiosi are.

[Death is yonder]

Excellent choice on the lynch guys!

Nicely done,

Good thing my lynch choice didn't go through then, I was hoping that random votes would cause more flurry of discussion, but I suppose random voting and sticking to it from day one works too,

[Jolt]

Heres what's happening folks, I planned to stay this weekend here at my college dorm in Lisbon where I have net and could proceed the game harmlessly. Usually, as most of you know, when I'm not at my college dorm I'm travelling towards my home in Northern Portugal near Oporto where I also have internet. Thing is I came back to Lisbon with my grandmother, which went further on to Setubal. She is old and has parkinson and is in Setubal alone (While she isn't helpless, I'd much rather be and help her out). Furthermore, she has invited me to go spend this weekend with her. She has been extremely helpful to me in my life, and it would be tremendously unfilial not to go spend this weekend with her. The catch is that her house (She now lives with my familly up north but needed to come here to the South to deal with some issues) here in the South doesn't have internet, thus most probably will not be able to post anything/much this weekend. This includes the game. Fortunately I have many relatives in the city where my grandmother is, so the only chance will be that after this phase is over I go to one of my cousin's places and check out the orders sent until the deadline, come back home after visit, use my laptop to write the write-up, then I eventually go to their place again when I have written the write-up and post it here. Still, this is a long shot, as probably I won't be able to proceed with the game until next monday. Provided the mods give me leeway for this to remain open throughout the week-end then the game will proceed as usual in monday/tuesday.

Due to possibility that I may be able to write and post the write-up before monday, the deadline still ends today, in a few hours.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Tisk tisk, ATPG...Read the initial storyline. It says who the two Mafiosi are.

Sorry, I honestly am not really into this storyline for some reason (personal flavor... I understand others are really enjoying the story, and it looks well done from where I sit!). I apologize but I've been distracted by things.

However, I am into the game for the sake of playing the game, so I'll try to do better. I thought I was going to be a replacement player for this one. Heh.

[Sprig]

Pang Tong is the guy we have to find.

[FactionHeir]

I think Sprig is Pang Tong.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Final Tally:
Yaseikhaan (3) - ATPG, Joooray, atheotes
Joooray (2) - FH, DiY
atheotes (2) - Beskar, Sprig
FactionHeir (1) - Yaseikhaan

I think FactionHeir is Pang Tong.

Getting slain that early means distancing tactic might be used. And I don't think, given the three way tie, that atheotes is Pang Tong because that means choosing to eliminate your partner. And Joooray could have voted for atheotes, and Joooray was risking a lot leaving his vote where it was, were he Pang Tong.

Also possible are the others, but let's go with the scheming-est explanation of them all.

[Death is yonder]

I'm not sure, it could be just that FactionHeir is a victim of ill circumstance, perhaps he didn't want to get involved in a bandwagon, maybe cautious pro-town, or cautious mafia, but its all really uncertain.

Atheotes is highly unlikely to be mafia, but its still possible, but this path has a lot of WIFOM, so lets not go into there.

[Askthepizzaguy]

The previous round, with commentary and analysis.

Yes, you may safely skip reading the spoiler. That's showing my work.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Vote: Yaseikhaan

Because I decided it would be less work to just picks a candidate and sticks with the candidate.

I think so too

Vote: Whiteeyes:D

Why so quiet?

Yaseikhaan: 1
White_Eyes: 1

Interesting reaction.

I think Beskar is not playing this game...

I forgot to check back if the phase had been extended and missed the voting on Day1

Vote: White_eyes for now... white_eyes has been active in the gameroom... i will change my vote him if he shows up or if we get any useful leads

atheotes would seem to be innocent given certain things about his final vote this round.

I shall vote:Jooray then to elicit a response.

Doesn't appear to be the correct vote. Not sure if that indicates guilt or not.

Yaseikhaan: 1
White_eyes: 2
Joooray: 1

Vote: FactionHeir to elicit a response.

Perhaps this vote is a distancing tactic.... perhaps not. I could be reading too much into this.

I thought WE was active because he did some night actions in "the mansion" game. the host posted there saying he has not submitted orders in quite some time. So in my mind he is a townie.

unvote, vote:abstain

Yaseikhaan: 1
W_E: 1
Joooray: 1
FactionHeir: 1

Khaan is not in danger yet.

As I said before, I'm sorry I was inactive the last day phase, real life got a hold on me. Promise to be better from this point on.

I don't think white_eyes is such a good choice, I send him a pm in another mafia game quite some time ago and he has yet to read it, so I suspect he's going to be WoZJed this night anyway.

Anyway, Vote: khaan. Come on, Atpg pressures you with one vote and all you do is a pressure vote yourself. You can do better than that!

Khaan: 2

W_E: 1
Joooray: 1
FH: 1

NOW we see Khaan in danger. What's the reaction?

vote: atheotes

Obviously the traitor.

Curious... atheotes turns out to be pretty darn innocent, given who he lynched voluntarily.


Khaan: 2

W_E: 1
Joooray: 1
FH: 1
atheotes: 1

Really?

Interesting response... he's questioning that bad vote before it is known to be bad vote, while Khaan is under pressure. Not sure what to make of it.

He is too undecisive, unwilling to take risk, trying to appease. I would happy die for Cao Cao to protect his honour.

Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice.

i agree vote:atheotes

Khaan: 2
atheotes: 2

W_E: 1
Joooray: 1
FH: 1

hmm...care to explain why i took my vote of White_eyes when he was the lynch candidate?

Indeed.

Fools speak while the Wise listen.

FoS: Sprig

Only post since joining the game and its "i agree + vote"

Hmmm.

Yes, of course you're going to argue that you're a bog-standard townie. No use arguing anything else because it'll either get you murdered or lynched. Therefore, I'd say your reasoning is not correct and only there to mislead us.

vote: Beskar

Hmmm.

Yeah, just noticed that Zain posted it too.

Unvote; Whiteeyes
Vote: Joooray

Khaan: 2
atheotes: 2
Joooray: 2

FH: 1

Eeeeenteresting.

Random vote to provoke discussion.

His explanation for voting Joooray...

Of course, if he wanted to save Khaan he might have voted for atheotes.





In summary, based on that last voting round, here are some people I find having a halo of innocence-

1. Askthepizzaguy (Of course!)
2. Joooray (placed his vote on Khaan early, didn't move it)
3. atheotes (lynching vote)

Now, Death is Yonder had me wondering.... his vote on White_eyes almost seemed like a reaction to my voting for Khaan. Then his vote for Joooray seemed like he was desperate to find another patsy. But, I don't know if that holds up. He could have saved Khaan by voting for atheotes. I think that deserves a one-round reprieve.

4. Death is Yonder

Yes, he's guilty. Xu Shu was the historical traitor.

Helpful, but no vote in previous round?

Excellent choice on the lynch guys! Nicely done, Good thing my lynch choice didn't go through then, I was hoping that random votes would cause more flurry of discussion, but I suppose random voting and sticking to it from day one works too

I'm looking for someone to blame besides you, but you keep sucking me back in.

I'm not sure, it could be just that FactionHeir is a victim of ill circumstance, perhaps he didn't want to get involved in a bandwagon, maybe cautious pro-town, or cautious mafia, but its all really uncertain.

Atheotes is highly unlikely to be mafia, but its still possible, but this path has a lot of WIFOM, so lets not go into there.

Please stop saying scummy things. I want to believe you're innocent. Stop stop stop.

FactionHeir- voted
Paulus Tertius- voted

5. spL1tp3r50naL1ty

Does anyone give up a mafia role because they can't get into it?

vote: atheotes

Obviously the traitor.

Perhaps the scummiest vote all round.

Khaan had two votes, and Beskar seems like he wants to get a bandwagon on atheotes, the guy who ends up capping a mafia. Not only seems like a nervous reaction, but the vote itself seems dead wrong to me. If atheotes is mafia he's driven a screwdriver into my brain.

My finger of suspicion lands squarely on Beskar, who I presently consider to be the most likely to be mafia given the previous round's activity.

After that, you might look to Subotan, who replaced White_Eyes and therefore I can't get a reading off of it. AVSM and Paulus both had the chance to spare Khaan and didn't, and Paulus voted for Beskar. Which was never recorded by the game host. Beskar is my top suspect at the moment, so I consider this a good vote. Personally, I'm not a fan of not voting. I'm so tempted to go with AVSM, but I think perhaps the reason Khaan got destroyed so soon was... maybe... White_Eyes not being there to spare him. If it isn't Beskar, it could be White_Eyes/Subotan.

Third place, I might pick AVSM for not voting, personal preference. However, that's almost a good thing considering he could have saved khaan. And I might be right regarding Beskar or Subotan. But maybe not AVSM.... I don't know. Yaseikhaan likes the tactic of voting his partner, he's done it quite a bit IIRC. I can't really pick my third suspect at this point, even though Death is yonder is driving me absolutely insane with his posts... they smell so bad but they don't mesh with his voting pattern. Stop being so scummy!

Sprig's vote on atheotes puts him in top contention, but he could have voted for joooray.

FOS:

1. Beskar
2. Subotan

[Death is yonder]

Please stop saying scummy things. I want to believe you're innocent. Stop stop stop.

Sorry then, I'll just stay more silent and be the usual attentive DiY popping in here and there when I'm needed only

Short, silent, terse.

Good enough?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Maybe.

Maybe I'm wrong about Beskar, too. I dunno he gave me a good defense. But I'm not totally convinced.

I'll bump Subotan up to my top suspect.

FOS:

1. Subotan

[Beskar]

My name looks like slang for the male member and the description doesn't help the case.

I think Jolt dislikes me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I am probably going to die tonight anyway, I am Liu Ye, Inspector of the Han Army.

I won't say what ability I have.

[Beskar]

It gets worse, I just wikipedia'd the name, my guys nickname is "Boning". Why oh why....

[White_eyes:D]

I am probably going to die tonight anyway, I am Liu Ye, Inspector of the Han Army.

I won't say what ability I have.

Dead giveaway.... If I was Mafia....your kill order would have just been sent in

[A Very Super Market]

I think Beskar is innocent. His role is pretty obscure. It suffices for now.

I didn't vote due to my inherent lurkiness. Also, I forgot. Also, I'm innocent. Farewell.

[Beskar]

My guy is at least on wikipedia, even though it was very limited and spoke about how his courtsey name was "Boning".

It gets worse, he was part of the Kingdom of Wei.

Bad enough getting a name that sounds like a male member, a description that sounds like a male member, a nickname of a male member, and part of a male member kingdom.

Does it get worse?!?
