oh screw this. You realise that there is actually probably 3 factions left in this game if the last half day scene was anything to go by. I think Yuan Shao team is only stronger as he is level 4, at the moment im unsure of the strength of Lui Bei's team but i think their best bet lies in getting rid of Yuan Shao as well as they will be on the chopping block straight after me. so

Vote Sukul

[Sukul Ankhadu]

HAHAHA! This game is awesome, for real.

After Liu Bei completed his conquest of Liu Biao's domain, he turned his eyes south to the rest of Jing province. Han Xuan, governor of Changsha just south of the river, immediately sent forth his top general Wei Yan with all the troops he could muster, but the army was decimated in a fiery ambush perfectly executed by Liu Bei's strategist, Xu Shu. With Liu Bei's troops overrunning his capital, Han Xuan fled south with his son, Han Hao, to the remote regions controlled by governor Jin Xuan. Han Xuan said, "Jin Xuan's Wu Ling has tens of thousands of troops, more than enough to hold off Liu Bei. If they receive us, we can kill the governor, take his land, and rebuild our strength until we're ready to stand against Liu Bei. That way we can recover the whole of Jing." Thus agreed, father and son presented themselves. But the governor, feigning illness, postponed their reception and kept them in a guesthouse.

Before long spies reported to the governor that Liu Bei was established in Changsha and had no intentions of marching to Wu Ling. Delighted with the news, Jin Xuan positioned armed men behind the wall hangings in the official hall and had the visitors shown in. The formalities concluded, the governor bade them be seated. It was bitter cold. Han Xuan, seeing no cushions on the floor, asked, "May we have mats?" Glaring at them, the governor said, "Your heads are going on a long journey. What do you want mats for?" Han Xuan was taken aback. Jin Xuan shouted, "Guards! What you waiting for?" The executioners rushed out and beheaded the men where they sat. The governor had their heads place in a wooden box, which he dispatched to Changsha. Liu Bei received the heads and sent to Wu Ling a thousand catties of fine silk as a token of appreciation. Thereafter, Liu Bei made no plans to conquer Wu Ling.

Okaros (alt146) is dead. He was the Warlord Han Xuan.

As the number of players decreases, I may start posting the "half-day" scenes earlier than half, as fewer posts are required to lynch and you may actually end up lynching far from 40 hours into the day. So, here's today's:

---

The Emperor entered Luoyang and saw the ruin of his former capital - the palace buildings burned out, the streets and markets desolate. Everything was overgrown with weeds. The walls of the palaces were crumbling. Emperor Xian ordered Yuan Shu to build a small dwelling to serve as a provisional palace. In the meantime court was held in the open woods.

Grand Commandant Yang Biao appealed to the Emperor: "The decree with which you honored me has yet to be dispatched. At present Yuan Shao has the most powerful army in the northeast. He should be summoned to support the royal house." "I have so ordered," said the Emperor. "A second petition is not necessary. Send someone and be done with it." In accordance with the imperial will, an envoy was sent.

In Luoyang the Emperor found all in ruin. Even the walls were beyond repair. Moreover, reports of new threats from Fan Chou and Zhang Ji alarmed him. To Yuan Shu the Emperor said, "Our messenger has not returned. Our enemies could come at any time. What can we do?" Yuan Shu replied, "I will fight to the death to protect Your Majesty." But Dong Cheng said, "Look at our walls and how few soldiers we have! What if we fail? I recommend that Your Majesty proceed to Cao Cao's camp." The Emperor approved, and that day the court set out for the region east of Huashan. Horses were so scarce that the officials followed the Emperor's carriage on foot.

The procession was hardly under way when clouds of dust darkened the sky ahead, and the air throbbed with drums and gongs. Masses of troops loomed in the distance. Emperor and Empress were too frightened to speak. A single rider approached. It was the imperial envoy. "General Yuan Shao," he reported, "has called up every soldier in the northeast and is coming in response to your decree. He has sent Yan Liang on ahead with ten top generals and fifty thousand picked men to deal with the threat to Luoyang from Fan Chou and Zhang Ji." At last the Emperor felt safe.

At the suggestion of Shao's generals, the Emperor returned to his former palace in Luoyang. Yan Liang stationed his army outside the city. The next day Yuan Shao arrived with the main force, established camp, and was received. Prostrating himself below the stairs to the imperial dais, Yuan Shao acknowledged his sovereign. The Emperor bade him stand and commended him for his service. Yuan Shao and his advisors spent the rest of the day updating the Emperor on recent events: after Tao Qian's general Zhang Kai had killed Cao Cao's family, Cao Cao had invaded Xu and Yang. In the west, Han Sui had come into conflict with his sworn-brother Ma Teng, and a great battle was fought between them at Tianshui. Tao Qian and Han Sui's forces were both completely wiped out.

But here's the rub Ruse: maybe someone like Spite is your leader, and Telas is just a fall guy?

@Sukul Look when Okaros was Killed. hHe is Han Xuan. I was his recruit. In no scens has it ever beenshown OR underlined that Han Xuan's forces have been wiped out completely. Thats because they haven't... I am still around. If I was spite's subordinate, then we would have had a scene where path shaper states Han Xuan's forces have been wiped out completely.

edit formating on the underline/italics

[Ruse]

At any rate, I am going to do what you want me to Sukul. Consider me one of you subordinates, even if you aren't Yuan Shao. I'll leave my vote on Telas until you tell me otherwise. I just ask that you take me along for the victory ride, as it's the only way I can achieve victory as well.

[Sukul Ankhadu]

But we only have your word that you are Han Xuan's sub - maybe someone else is?

[Ruse]

Then why hasn't PS stated tht Han Xuan's forces been wiped out completely? The only other person it could be is Spite and he voted you yesterday, he's certainly not on your side. Like I said. You don't have to believe me. I will do what you tell me too. regardless of who you are, Yuan Shao or not. Tell me to vote night I will, tell me to vote Meanas I will, w/e. I am confident you are Yuan shao. and am basically saying I will do what you want. tell me do do nothing. I don't care. I am putting my eggs in the Sukul basket. If you decide to vote on someone else I will follow you on that train too.

[Sukul Ankhadu]

That is kind of creepy of you, although with eggs I can make pancakes, and that is good.

The problem with the Han Xuan forces argument is that it could be that the reason PS hasn't stated his forces to be wiped out is because someone else is a Han Xuan Sub, not you Ruse. As I said we only have your word for it that you are that sub. Just trying to help out here.

[Ruse]

Well, on that point I have nothing. It's just my word. So do whatever you are gonna do. I'll just follow you. Just remember me when you are coasting to victory

[Sukul Ankhadu]

Well I'm off for a little while.

[Telas]

im off and on for a bit if anyone wants to ask me something

[Path-Shaper]

[Telas]

apparently not well im off soon will possibly briefly check back in maybe half an hour. but otherwise im quite happy with my lynch choice

[Meanas]

WOW that was an awesome catch up.

[Meanas]

Ruse has a great point, really, and it's why I suggested he not put in an action last night. His best chance of winning involved trying to get recruited ASAP, but since he knows he's 1 level above Yuan Shao, his best chance of winning at this point would be to do the same thing and vote off Yuan Shao's enemy.

Telas is not my master, and since the enemy of my enemy is my friend...

Vote Telas

[Meanas]

Also, FWIW, if Yuan Shao does not have 3 current recruits, we need to vote night instead, have Ruse guard Telas again, and then recruit someone.

At that point, it's basically a mathematical lock that we'll win by recruiting Ruse eventually and lynching or recruiting the remainder of the Lui Bei team.

[Sukul Ankhadu]

Wow Meanas, you seem really sure Ruse is truthful - you don't see for instance Spite as a possible threat?

[Meanas]

If I trust Ruse, then by definition Spite is not a threat because he's spent the majority of the game being blocked. Ruse has pledged to work with Yuan Shao and I know he's not Yuan Shao. Why should I do anything but aid my master on the path to victory?

[Sukul Ankhadu]

Fair enough. I guess.

[Telas]

Wow after those few posts im startiing to wonder if i was right in my random using before that Meanas is the master rather than Sukul because that definitely looked like a master advising his subordinate to me .

Vote Meanas

[Telas]

now im properly off, but i should be back befor elynch if im not already dead...
