Do I win if I find a name not yet heard of?

You retroactively win the first game.

Awesome. Wait, was my character even in that game?

Looks like the threads snarkyness has made it to PS.

I'll stop F5ing for a bit and go and watch the second half of Battle of Red Cliff.... guitar solo duel for the win.

PS appreciates a bit of good-natured sarcasm as well as anyone else!

Right, I'm back and reading up...

[Tiamatha]

Or recruitment might work Dresden style, recruiter comes along and offers a player the chance to join his side, then the player can choose to accept the offer or not.

Yet another nontraditional cult possibility.

Wait a sec...... you vote because I refuse to go around giving high fives to all the other jokers because someone's flavor title may point at him having a certain role?

I always thought it was prudent to use a WCS unless you have absolute proof, I must not have gotten that memo that this had changed...

Who said YS having recruiting was WCS? You're overreacting rather defensively.

I merely proposed it as one of the two possibilities - a smaller faction with recruiting, or a larger faction relying on numbers for balance. Neither is necessarily worse than the other.

With going from a WCS I meant Serc NOT being the recruiter or another big honcho, as several of you seem to think. But that was considered downplaying his importance by you.

Actually, if he was, it's now BCS (for everyone except YS), as he's dead. I may be reading somewhat too much into his Role title, but you seem unwilling to read anything at all, in a game where there is almost certainly some kind of recruitment mechanic.

Rashan, on 02 December 2010 - 09:49 AM, said:

maybe i am making enemies here, but Tiamathat and Ruse are both very suspicious to me. it would be good to hear what other people think

Tiamatha is, if I am alting him correctly, playing his own personal game - he likes mechanics and talking about them. Unforetunately, this game he has done this at the expense of contributing on the state of play itself.

Ruse... well, Ruse. Not much to say. Recap, defense, vote to get a lynch. I don't see much out of the ordinary compared to a regular low poster.

I actually would be fairly interested in your alignment/CF, Rashan.

You (Rashan) were voting Ruse when Mockra looked a likely lynch, and Serc, who showed a massive amount of compassion with Mockra on account of players being away on life, but did not hesitate all that much to vote Liosan, who essentially was in the same position, wasn't he?

If Mockra is indeed a bigwig and needed protection from a lynch, it was the two of you providing it. We have Serc's CF. if there is a similarity between his and yours, I dare say we found someone really important in the YS as well.

I would be happy to see Rashan lynched - his vote/remove vote thing was obviously beneficial to my continued existence yesterday, but I can see where the queries come from regarding why he did that.

On the other hand, he has certainly been providing us with fodder - distracting, but also useful, yes?

That is very true Korabas, but am I reading you correctly in saying that it's best to get rid of him regardless of who you are based on his potential to fuck things up? Not sure I agree with that.

You're misunderstanding me on that front. I'm not advocating lynching him just because he's inexperienced and may do damage to his own side.
However, and that might all just be my own private paranoia, as I said on the previous page, I do think there is the possibility of a connection between him, Mockra and Serc:

Serc more or less politely refused to lynch Mockra but showed no such qualms with Liosan;
Serc came to Rashan's rescue when Ruse attacked Rashan;
Rashan was hesitant to vote Mockra and removed quickly, saying Mockra provided content as opposed to posts while Mockra was still ranting.

Given that we know Serc's alignment, a lynch on a suspected allegiance might just give an indication of who is siding with whom, and I am not at all opposed to get a read on how the field is split.

i thought this may come up, well i have no qualms with going for a lynch on mockra today, i like the ruse vote, i like a tiamatha vote but i would vote for mockra.

the reason i backed out yesterday was because it looked like he really wanted to play, looked like he was enjoying the game and was very angry about getting lynched off. where is he today though? yesterday it was a drive to the coast, then some sleep. if he really wanted to play he would be on here looking at what has been said and giving his 2 cents.

i think we could lynch him today, its just my preference is ruse. if you want to vote mockra off then i'd join in, would you vote ruse though?

Someone hasn't been reading the thread. Besides, this time, here, is my morning, my freest time (same time I came on yesterday, and my first post at the start of day one) and look, here I am, posting...however, I can see what you're trying to do here, which is interesting, I just wonder if anyone buys it? I mean, you were willing to put me L-1 yesterday, but not for very long, so as I said, I can see where those questions about your allegiance come from...

Plenty of time left in the day, so far, there's only three of us talking and going in circles mostly. I'd like to hear from more people.


Kesso and Ruse are at the bottom of posts. However, there is not really anything truly suspicious about either of them. I don't get your hard-on for Ruse, but that might be because he parrotted me. Tis always hard to see fault in something you agree with especially when you said it first .
Emur is middle of the posting board but I can't remember anything other than him making an easy, coasting impression.
Galain is playing intelligently. Same for Merrid.

There is also a bunch of people who 'misunderstood' the set-up of the game and thought this was town versus scum despite the OP and Sign Up (and mod-thread, iirc) being quite clear it isn't so, and subsequently and consequently claiming to be with the 2-Zs. I find that a tad bit odd and would love a clarification.

Well, if you're including my "go team!" comment in this, I think it's pretty obvious that said comment could go several ways, and was more of a joking reference to how people were treating Yuan Shao as scum...

[Tiamatha]

Ok SIlcahs there is one comment of yours that I haven't seen someone else make before, and that you believe that Korabas was telling me to STFU.

If memory serves correctly Korabas was the first to comment on that post, if he did know me, then his post has added more light to me than anything else. ALso it would give him away, if he had any brains which i do suspect he has he wouldn't have posted that if he knew me.

This is a faction game, false symping so as to confuse who knows who is a standard tactic, so I always take connetions with a pinch of salt.

Edited for clarity of reading

Okay, I'm back for a bit. Still not sure on who I'd vote to lynch; I'm going to peruse the thread and see if I can't come up with a candidate or two.

[Mockra]

Just getting up to Ruse's rage now, man...was I that bad? :S

Also I think we have all fucked up in what this map looks like.

This is from the OP of the signing thread of this game.

Quote

Two unusual mechanics:
a} each side has one super night action, called an operation, which can be used once but there is the opportunity to improve it before it is used;
b} there is a 4-tile map that limits night actions to same or adjacent locations

This means there a 75% chance, no matter what town your in, that the person you are targetting is going to be targetted succesfully.

Which means that all the specualtion that occured on the map was shit, all of us who speculated about the map were in the wrong.

But of course this is mechanic talk your not interested in this.

OK, what the fuck? Have you even read the opening post without being drunk/tired or are you just being stupid? Seriously, what the fuck?

[Tiamatha]

Mockra it isn't the first time a piece of critical information was in the sign up thread but not added to the game thread, saw that little bit where it said 4 tiles thought grid and forgot to check the Opening Posts on this thread to compare them before I put that up.

See these large gaps of a few hours between my posts that generally when I'm outside in the snow, either getting the shopping done or clearing the drive, lets just say I'm shattered. For the last three days everytime I've cleared the drive it snowed again back to the level of what it was the previous time.

A 15 minute walk to the shops is now nearly 1/2 an hour, add carrying food to that equation then it closer to 3/4 of an hour without falling on my face.

So I'm a tad sorry if Im not playing to your standard Mockra but considering that in this week I've seen the worst blizzard in my life and I'm worrying about whether or not if it keep snowing cause I have about a week or two worth of food, nearly all the stores in our town are sold od by panic buying if this snow doesn't clear then there no food.

[Mockra]

Wow. I suppose we have 11 hours or so on the clock still to work out who to lynch, I'll be online between now and then, and will do my best to keep posting during the day.

At the moment I will vote for Rashan because I'm interested in his CF as much as the next guy, but Ruse (I hope I was not that bad), Tiamatha (not reading anything properly, then offering spec. on what he's misread)...yeah, I could go for them. Other options are less clear-cut, as Silchas and Kesso seem to have turned up and offered input, which is great.

Vote Rashan

That's fine, and I appreciate the RL excuse (see yesterday...) however you hadn't mentioned anything to that effect and you have really not been helpful. It's not to say you're useless, but it is distracting, which could be deliberate, too. *shrug*
