After eliminating Liu Bei's conspiracy, Yuan Shao ruled the capital Luo Yang absolutely. After elevating his favoured officials to occupy the vacant senior court positions, Yuan Shao began conscripting peasants and recalling his military commanders from across the northern plains. His generals began training the new armies for a full-scale invasion of the westlands.

However, in the sixth year of Jian An (A.D. 201), rumours reached the court of hordes of mounted bandits calling themselves the White Riders sweeping through the far northern regions. At their head, a fearsome warlord known as Gongsun Zan proclaimed to the peasants wherever he rode that he was coming for the head of Yuan Shao.

In his rise to power, Yuan Shao had crushed many other warlords and governors, among them the defender of the north-east, Gongsun Du. The entire Gongsun family in Liao Xi had been seized and executed as usual, but the governor's own son, Gongsun Kang, had escaped. It now seemed that Kang had ventured north beyond the Great Wall to find and bring the wrath of this most distant member of the Gongsun family upon Yuan Shao's head.

Yuan Shao sent his best cavalry commanders and as many mounted recruits as he could spare north to contest every li of land between Fan Yang and Luo Yang. The plans to conquer the westland would not be delayed even by the splitting of the heavens themselves.

This is an alt-less town-vs-scum game.

24-hour days. 6-hour nights.


Multi-lynch is in effect - lynches do not end day, but voting for night still does. The number of votes required to lynch or vote night decreases as it would normally and does so immediately after the hammer vote is posted. Likewise, a lynched player is officially dead as soon as the hammer vote is posted. You can begin voting for a new lynch or night as soon as the hammer vote has been posted even if the mods haven't resolved the former lynch yet.

The CF will be given for all deceased stating their role name and alignment. The CF of lynches will only be given at the end of day.


The town is Yuan Shao's forces sent to subdue the northern invasion. The scum is Gongsun Zan's forces. Town win when the scum are all dead. Scum win when they achieve a majority or there is 1 town and 1 scum left alive.

---

Game Continuity:

If Yuan Shao's forces win, then Yuan Shao's forces will be of a brute-force nature at the coming battle of Shang Yong.

If Gongsun Zan's forces win, then Yuan Shao's forces will be forced to adopt more subtle tactics at Shang Yong. Additionally, Gongsun Zan will continue to harass Yuan Shao until he is eventually defeated (if ever).

This game setup has changed a fair bit in the month+ since it was first posted. You may want to re-read the OP of this and the signup thread in case you're acting under changed assumptions.

Also, Grief had this to say:

Quote

You should tell everyone that if they're going to lurk they will need to log off, since it's altless and me and silencer are playing. The anon members just appear next to everyone else, so it's not really something you can avoid seeing.

[Path-Shaper]

It is Day 1. 24 hours remaining.
10 players still alive: alt, dktorode, Edrigan, Grief, HMQB, Mentalist, PB, Silencer, The Dude, Vengeance

6 votes to lynch. 5 to go to night.
No one has voted.

[Grief]

First.

and until now, last, too.

Tapper, bored co-mod is bored.

[dktorode]

the thread would open just as I am about to go home.

[Grief]

Bored too

On a game point, lack of activity sucks because we have the ability to lynch more than once per day. Obviously we shouldn't just go mad with lynches, but it is an advantage, and we should try and use the time as well as we can.

erm...wow

ok...maybe i should go look for that game setup.
at first glance looked like a simple M&P game

[dktorode]

Excellent...so theoretically we could lynch all the scum before they even get a chance to kill

[Grief]

Since we often struggle to lynch even once a day early in the game, and D'rek thinks it'll be a short game, I don't know if we'll get chance to take advantage of it. Particularly since days aren't that long.

Theoretically yes. Though we don't get the results until the end of the day, which makes it harder.

[dktorode]

aah well....thats me for the day

ciao muchacho



edit - will be back before the end of "game" day

I'm glad we finally have a game going... even if it is an indecipherable Chinese game replete with MULTILYNCHING. I'm totally for speedlynching every mother fucker who doesn't even post within the next fourish hours (or thereabouts).

[Peanutbutta]

Unless, of course, you guys think that's a bad thing to do. GASP.

[alt146]

Yay, the game has started. I should be able to contribute properly in a couple of hours, have some stuff to sort out at the moment.

Only getting the CF at the end of the day makes more than one lynch per day very risky, I think it should be reserved for a D-Day+.5 type situation.

[Grief]

Agreed it's good to have a game. It's been ages since I've played. On the other hand, it's like a ghost town here.

As for the speed lynch idea:

Vote PB

Only scum would even joke about such a thing.

[Peanutbutta]

OMG ALT IS LURKING, LYNCH.

edit: omg GRIEF IS A BASTARD.
