You realize of course, that by voting for me, if i was a faction leader, ( I am not) you are basically outing your team? Because anyone that comes after me clearly isn't on my team. I think It's pretty clear after all the hints I have dropped That I am on the HZ side of things. I know my leader is still alive, so me dying won't be a big deal and might actually give our faction a ton of info, at the least, it's pretty clear to me that you are YS.

I picked it up when you and Merrid were obsessing over Ruse's 'reveal" you kept bringing it up even though nobody else was. Tell-tale heart style. I am very confident in this vote.




Vote Galain

Sure, I realize that it's likely a coming-out party. But you're doing the same thing by counter-voting me. However, I think you know considerably less than you realize... =)

Yeah, no shit. I started out with the Name of my brother only. Thats it. Just the Name of my blood brother not the alt. . I have pieced together quite a bit since then but I am flying in the dark here.

[Emurlahn]

i have to hunt through all the names now, but there were 2 brothers mentioned in the game earlier, did one of them die? i think so but im not sure

[Emurlahn]

At dawn, Yuan Shao's five contingents closed upon the enemy from all sides. Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang each lead a contingent against Huang Zhong's

from one of the day scenes, only brothers i can find atm, its a little flimsy but its the only evidence i can find of brothers being mentioned and it clearly states YS

vote silchias

Look at the Ciao Mao scene. Jia Xu and Peing Ling or some shit, don't remember the later guy's name off the top of my head, were brothers as well.

umm how do you get Brothers out of those 2 names?

[Tiamatha]

Cause I think in Chinese their surname is first, or am I just thinking shit here?

[Silchas Ruin]

^ Thats like saying Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson are Brothers. Nice Try in justifying your vote there...lol I am neither of those people.

[Tiamatha]

Personal names in Chinese culture follow a number of conventions different from those of personal names in Western cultures. Most noticeably, a Chinese name is written with the family name first and the given name next, therefore "John-Paul Smith" as a Chinese name would be "Smith John-Paul". Chinese people commonly address each other with full names instead of given names (especially for names consisting of two characters in total). Family names are never used alone without any salutation. For instance, the basketball player Yao Ming should be formally addressed as "Mr. Yao", not "Mr. Ming", and informally addressed as "Yao Ming" instead of "Yao" or "Ming".

From the wikipedia article on how chinese naming works, and here the link.

Insert foot in mouth. Regardless, it doesn't say they are brothers, and thats not who I am.

Lü Kuang (also romanized Lu Kang; died 207) was a distinguished general who served Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms Period in China. He had a brother Lü Xiang whom he always had accompany him on his missions.




Now, you might want to tell us who you are.

[Emurlahn]

maybe they were other brothers in the game, my quote fu isnt that strong....

and yeah as tiam says chinease names are wrote differently to western names

i admited it wasnt a great reason to vote, but im not 100% sure of who else to vote

[Silchas Ruin]

Well, my name and my Sworn brothers name are not the same. It's a blood brother bond as I stated earlier. He has been featured prominently in a few scenes.

[Omtose]

The thing is, if Silchas is voting for Galain on the basis that Galain is YS, why the hell would he say the brother thing if there was such obvious evidence within the scenes that he is YS? It seems like an incredibly stupid move to make.

I already pointed out who Silchas could be. Did no one read my previous post? Check out the Ciao Mao scene, where he gets detected. Two brothers are mentioned there, both with different names. I'll pull it up.

That's ok. People know me. Even if I am lynched, it will serve as a becon on outing the YS clan. Like I said. I am aware that at least 3 of my faction are alive and on my side. the 4th is a toss up... i am hoping he is with me.

Peng Ji, dressed in hempen scarf and plain weave robe, sped downriver, straight to the western forces' forward camp on the river north of Shang Yong. Jia Xu received him with low bows. "You have been well since we parted, I trust," said Peng Ji. "My friend, you have taken great trouble, coming so far to serve as Yuan Shao's spokesman," Jia Xu responded. Taken aback, Peng Ji said, "We have been apart so long, I came especially to reminisce. How could you suspect me of such a thing?" With a smile, Jia Xu answered, "My ear may not be so fine as the great musician Shi Kuang's, but I can discern good music and good intentions too." "Dear friend," Peng Ji replied, "if this is how you treat an old friend, I must beg my leave." Laughing, Jia Xu took Peng Ji by the arm and said, "I was afraid brother, that you were working for Yuan Shao, that's all. If you have no such purpose, there is no need to rush. Please stay." And so the two of them went into the camp. After the ritual greetings they seated themselves, and Jia Xu summoned the notables of the west to feast his friend.

"Since fielding the army," Jia Xu declared, "I have drunk no wine. But today, in the company of an old friend, with no lack of trust, let us have our fill and then some!" With that, he laughed loudly and drank deeply. The toasts came thick and fast. Feigning intoxication, Jia Xu laughed heartily. "To think we were once students together!" he said. "Who would have foreseen a day like today?" "Brother," said Peng Ji, "with your supreme abilities, such accomplishment is only too fitting." Gripping Peng Ji's hand, Jia Xu pointed to the commanders and said, "These are the pillars of the west. And this gathering today shall be known as the Congregation of the Heroes." The company kept on drinking and laughing gaily until late into the evening.

During the evening, Peng Ji recognized a familiar face in the minor officers. Catching his eye, Jia Xu said, "That is the fearless Cai Mao. He commanded Jiang Ling until Yuan Shao's forces took the city and fled across the province to join us here for revenge." Believing him to be a spy for Yuan Shao and wishing not to foil Cai Mao's deception, Peng Ji prepared to leave.

Jia Xu interrupted him, "We have not shared a couch for many a year, my friend. Tonight we share a bed foot-to-foot." Thoroughly intoxicated, he led Peng Ji arm in arm into his bedchamber and there collapsed, sprawling into bed fully dressed and vomiting copiously. How could Peng Ji sleep? He lay on his pillow, listening. Looking about the tent, he saw the wasted candle still giving light. On the table Peng Ji noticed a sheaf of documents. He rose and stealthily looked through them: among the correspondance was a letter from Zhang Yun and Wen Ping, Yuan Shao's new naval commanders. He peeked at the contents:

We surrendered to Shao by dint of circumstance, not for wealth or rank. We have tricked the northern army by enclosing it inside the large ships. The moment we have the chance, we will deliver the traitor Shao's head to you. Cai Mao will be our contact in your camp: Yuan Shao believes he is spying for him, but he will feed Shao all the false information you wish and keep you updated on our plans within the Prime Minister's camp. Have no doubts. Herein our respectful reply.

Peng Ji stowed the letter in his clothes, extinguished the lamp and lay down. At the fourth watch, he slipped out of the tent and headed for the main gate. "Where to, sir?" the guard asked. "I'm afraid I have been keeping the field marshal from his work, so I am saying good-bye for now." The guard made no attempt to stop them.

As soon as Peng Ji had departed, Jia Xu called for armed guards to arrest and execute Cai Mao as a traitor. Had Peng Ji flushed out Cai Mao's disguise?

Cai Mao, a spy, is dead. (Ruse and Vengeance)

my only fear is that, as I stated, I know my blood brother is in the game, I don't know who he is. I can only assume that he knows he has a sworn brother, but not who. We can now establish that Emur and Galain aren't that brother... Making the likelyhood that they are YS increase. I am not 100% on galain, I would switch to emur as well as he definately isn't my sworn brother because he voted me after i revealed that info.

[Silchas Ruin]

Good find Omtose.. but alas, I am neither of those people ... It does illustrate my point though that D'rek does use the Phrase "brother" as an indication of extreme closeness.

Or maybe Emur just searched for justification to vote Silchas, and went with the zomg he is YS because of this and that story that might refer to a player! route.

At this point, it matters little how flimsy all the justifications are, however. If YS has the 4 votes, they will lynch SR. If they haven't, you will live and your people may even get to lynch Galain. If there is some random spy still alive, which would frankly be hilarious, he is the deciding factor. If there are 5 of the YS, frankly, you go, and I think Omtose will be next.

Now, if Emur really was not looking for an excuse but was just drunk, well, a reveal may make him realize it. And I think Galain, myself and a couple of others are dying to know whether you are HZ or ZX.

[Silchas Ruin]

I have to leave work in 10-15 minutes, but will be back well before lynch.

[Korabas]

HZ or ZX as in the role, not the faction.
