This is just a quick post. I will be able to most more tomorrow.


Checking in.

Well after reading through all of that. I have to say when I read the OP I thought that it was pretty clear where the various areas were. So I have no idea how so many of the rest of you became so confused about locations. Based on the previous games I think that a 5 5 4 split is pretty reasonable. D'rek likes balanced games. Since this is an alternate history I wouldn't put a lot of stock into trying to figure out what names are on who's team.

I agree with Korabas that Rashan's post about his own helpfulness is suspicious as hell.


Basic dist. spec. Agreeing with Korabas about Ruse.

well i will disagree with you and your buddy Korabas then Ruse. I don't see how i am being suspicious by getting involved and trying to help or is this why it is suspicious? should i be a low poster? should i come on like you just did after watching for a while and make a couple of sentences agreeing with someone.. your post is more suspicious to me for that reason, at least Korabas had his own point of view and said some good things earlier in the thread


Sorry if I have finally had a minute to catch up on what everyone has been saying on thread. Gosh wouldn't want to sound like everyone else.

You are suspicious not for getting involved. But for then tooting your own horn and basically saying "Hey look at me I am a good inno helping everyone, Aren't I great." That is suspicious to me. The whole getting involved bit is fine. It is the I am a super good inno bit that I find suspicious. Because the only people who feel the need to come out and say that they are a super good inno and helping the team are scum.

That is the only thing that I agree with Korabas about. He isn't my buddy any more then you are.


Defending himself against Rashan's counter. Which is possibly why Rashan doesn't like him? I mean, he hasn't actually said anything else, which is kind of suspicious in a cruising-coasting way, I honsetly left him alone when I mentioned Lio and Kesso because I thought he'd posted waaaaaay more content than this...



Made the same impression on me. It's a sort of reversed Pokemon theme song (yeah, I'll go and sit ashamed in the corner after typing this)... mafiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Can't lynch them all!

Nobody wants to be lynched on Day 1. But if you leave low posters in a game, you end up with 1) non lynches and 2) hard decisions.

I know you can't see through the spray of your own spittle, but I actually voted Liosan earlier for the exact reasons already stated. But A lynch is still better than NO lynch. You said so yourself. But on Day 1... good luck. When I got to the thread today I believe there were exactly zero votes of any kind. I made my best guess, voted, and came back to see that you were getting lynched instead. Not every person has to make some giant quote-box case in order to vote. Some of us can just say, "Better than nobody," and vote along because it's true.

And shame on you for insulting Mafia. Last game was pretty damned good, I thought, and that as pure a M&P as you'll ever see.

"Humanitarian reasons" -> pure gold, I'm liking you more and more Korabas. :)


It is due to my good looks and my natural yet refined and cultured charm.

Anyway, midnight here. See you all tomorrow, should be back right after night resolution if the fuckers with their firework and loud voices actually grant me a decent night's sleep.

So you're just leaving with a vote on Liosan? OK...

Also, take a look at Silchas. Apart from his first two posts, everything else has been idle commentary on the game (agreeing/mentioning about people's speculation on the map setup, or talking about numbers, then making a bullet-list of basic stuff). Again, very coasting, nothing really of his own design except mentioning Tiamatha's post as sounding like it's directing people. How much content has actually been posted this game? :S Like, I could've sworn I thought Silchas was a high contributor until I did a quick read of his posts...

Alright, I now have to wash my car from the trip, then I am going to a friend's place. I believe I will therefore not be online for day's end (I'm inwardly cringing at this, having just ranted on the thread about giving people a chance, and now bailing on the thread again after fairly low 'actual' contributions...)

Because of this, I will be leaving my vote on Liosan. I am going to set my watch and try to get back on for lynch, commandeering my friend's laptop if I have to, to vote if it's going some other way....however as I'm still the easiest candidate for a lynch, it may not be to much point. :suspicious:

Vote Liosan

The roles I think that may not be able to move, are the support roles. So leaders and healers and possibly guards.

Some suggestion that if you can move, you should try to minimise the risk by sticking to a satelite town, but that means before even other action come into account you are reducing the chance of a successful action due to not occupying the superior position.

In the early Yuan Shau will want to take the superior ground which would maximise their abilities especially if they are killers, in the end game they might retreat back to a satellite town but the allies would then have to move into the central town so as to be able to use their own abilities successfully against Yuan Shau.

The only reason why it to the advantage of staying where you are, is if you were to move it would count as a NA.you can get a extra NA compared to anyone who moves, but they will make up the loss of the NA by increasing their chance of a successful NA.


Damn man, you're scary.


Shit is spraying from the fan in a gazillion directions and you ignore it all, put up an umbrella and talk about stuff left alone by everyone else for the past twelve hours, and for a good reason? Posted Image

Also, what the fuck about 'superior ground', 'retreat'? Aside from them being rather meaningless terms, all in all, that requires a lot of communication.... and you seem very far in your theories on what Yuan Shao can do. I repeat: WTF? Either you are smoking dope, or you know more than any of us (or at the least, anyone else has revealed on thread), or you have a mind that is best turned toward solving a rubix cube in 19 actions. Either you are stupidly revealing yourself as someone who knows what an Operations dude can do, or you are building a smoke screen the size of the Hoover Dam. in both cases, you are quite dangerous.

Moving counts as the equivalent of a Day action per the OP, by the way.

alas, yes. I have been behind the screen far longer than I had expected because I managed to dodge a meeting that would have cost me three hours in travel and two dozing away in a chair while someone drones about the changes to a certain government form. Instead, I spent it F5ing.
Anyway, I commented on Thiamatha to leave you with something that resembles content.

The ability of whether or not a night action succeeds is based on your characters position on the map, faction games have been won in my experience by successful night actions.

I'm calling the central town superior ground in that it is allowing players the ability to target every player in the game unless a other NA stops their ability compared to being in a satellite town where you have a 50/50 shot of the target player being in a area which your ability covers.

Vote Liosan


It looks like Mockra's ragegasm has gotten him off the hook today.

It's back to the first guy I picked, woot. I guess this is about the time he shows up and gives his own angry rant?

casual glance at D'reks last update suggests we have about 3 hours left.

OK I am back and first of all huge ass hypocritical move right above me.
I really have no defense besides it was early in the morning I was tired but w/e.

So I guess iI see the logic of voting off low posters because there is no scum to try and lynch, but im on now and this was my first real chance since the game started.

Sorry, Liosan, but it looks like you're the target today.
Nothing personal. I'd have rather gone for Ruse, but your CF will be valuable.

Why people voted me.
Korbas: reason: low poster (dude theirs two people with lower posts)
Mockra: reason: I guess low posting, but probably to make sure he doesn't get lynched (Didn't this guy just get all pissed at everyone for doing what hes doing to me?)
Galian: reason: That I misunderstood how this game worked at first (In my defense there is a lot of weird Chinese names floating around)
Emur: reason: because he doesn't have anything else to do (OK...)
Serc: reason: He wants the CF (dude you say I am the target today after there was 6 votes on Mockra)

Nice try Liosan to hand off there until your posts you were joint last.

But if that is all your argument is going to be , it just means you and kesso is effectively a coin toss to which one gets lynched.

I'll be heading for bed soon and I rather vote and not vote vote.

Vote Liosan

Unfortunately for you, it's probably too late for the train to swing around, as it's just left the Mockra station and appears to be bearing straight for you.
Like I said, it's nothing personal, but I don't know if you're on my team, and you've enough of a chance not to be that I'll vote you.
Cold, but better than no lynch.
