I assume, at least for now, that he was honest in saying he was taking the piss, but will wait to hear from him again before deciding on whether he is Lu Bu.

At the same time, in the OP it pretty much says that nobody is stronger than anyone else to start, so hunting faction leaders would be more beneficial than hunting Lu Bu. Someone like Cao Cao or Yaun Shao, whom if my memory serves correct would have significant numbers of followers by now, is a better target to prevent their factions from growing.



You seem to know something in regards to this. Care to explain further?


And Liosan HARRO MY BEETCHES! To Hip hoppity don't stop hey!

My avatar is kind of strange. It's like a huge swirl of fire...that is shaping into a long pointy bit. :S

Oh my word, there are people online! I actually crossposted. I havent done that in games and games...

So what's the plan now? This is probably going to end up being a standard merc last minute lynch anyone who isn't your faction leader routine.



So what's the plan now? Everybody else lead and I'll follow on with the last minute lynch routine?
This is a poor excuse for play and threatens to follow the slow-ass-game pattern of the most recent games.

Vote Okaros

because I'm unimpressed.

Not particularly.

On the Ano thing, it occurs to me that he could be fishing to get people to try and recruit him, suggesting either that he's a relative nobody or that he's unrecruitable and presumably a faction leader or some other important person.

Morning, all

I see the thread's as inactive as ever. I really don't have much of a clue as to who to vote for right now, since no one has done the sensible thing and made themselves easily lynchable yet, as people often do in merc games,

Morning, just stopping by for a few minutes. Still no word from Ano so my vote just gets to hang out by its lonesome waiting to hear what he says.

The only way to ever truly satisfy the demands of the mafia horde that you are on the level is to reveal. Tad too early in the game for that in my opinion. I rather tease you guys by make you wondering what I am.

Traditional mafia tactics of looking for scum are flawed as it a merc game, lynches are there to sort out who are in the factions, the faction that too obvious about it get destroyed pure and simple. Removing a faction benefits the remaining factions.

On a first day lynch it is as valid to draw a name out of the hat for your vote in a merc game.

Hello everyone. Sorry for abscence, internet has been on the fritz and it's been a long-ass day.

@ Tulas - I wasn't saying that's how I intend to play, just that it's how games like this tend to run for the first day or two. Everyone just climbs onto the first train that isnt their leader since it's way too muddied for anyone to try do anything tactical. The change in the game normally comes when someone accidently tries to start a train on a faction leader and people are able to start figuring out who is in which faction. If you have a plan that can get the game moving sooner I'd love to hear it.

I'd like to know what Spite meant by 'by now' in the quote Tulas has earlier on in the page. Maybe I'm being pedantic, but 'by now' implies that stuff has happened before this?

I admit Ano's comment struck me as someone who is trying to hint that he's recruitable when I first read it, but a couple of people have come on and dismissed him for whatever reason. Granted none of those people voted for anyone else or tried particularly hard to divert attention away from him, but one vote is hardly what you can call pressure.

So

vote Anomandairs

because I'd like to see if there's something there.

Okaros just a little point why say you are adding pressure to a lynch. First it kind of obvious that what you are doing. And you also suggest that you are fishing with the " I'd like to see if there's something there".

Suggesting that this vote is solely to guage reaction by openly stating it you are going to affect how people will react to the votes on me and your vote especially it can get you a much different result than what you have got if you said I think Ano slipped there. THat would have got a nice reaction to what you said.

By saying it a fishing for reaction vote you weaken the bait but you're said it to cover your arse.

Which suggests you may have something to play for you said it yourself this game is more about blind luck the first few days until you figure out factions. The first person to figure it out has an advantage. The best time to do this is as early as possible.

If you are a faction leader I appluad you as it well done you done a move that will get you some results hopefully you guarding yourself by saying it was a fishing vote will weaken the reactions but it protects your arse.

My knowledge is based on recollections of things I read ten years ago and Rot3K for the NES, so I won't claim everything is 100% accurate.

But basically, some warlords were stronger than others at this point in time, and I would expect those of greater strength to be our faction leaders, especially the three who ended up fighting for eventual control (Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Cao Cao as noted in the OP). I didn't play the last game so I don't know what effects the events there may have had on the set up. Maybe I'll try to read the spoilers for it later today.

"by now" as in preceding the historical point in time when the game started.

See, Ano, my problem is that your answer is way too cutesy. I fully expected you to show up, act indignant or even laugh, and say, "You thought I was Lu Bu because of this silly reason?" Instead, you show up and simply go on about how a single vote from me and a few comments from everyone else about wanting to see your reaction is somehow akin to asking you to full-on reveal.

And then, to compound it, even after you think that is silly, you basically say that you're just going to let us guess who you are.

Your other analysis of Okaros's vote and general Day 1 behavior is spot-on, and coincides with my thoughts exactly. I'm just a bit hung up on your other response.
