Sure, but you have to go back more than 2.5 hours to see anyone but you and me post.

6 users now and only me <_< ... I'll go read for a little. I picked up Under Heaven for the connections to this game and am so far not disappointed.

I guess I should butt in with my little piece of info, though I dare say this might confuse things even more.

At the beginning of this day (by which I mean the game day, not real-life day) I received a notice which said that Osseric was Zhang Xiu, Emperor. Basically, it was the exact same notice that Osseric claims to have got the previous day, but with his name in place of Emurlahn's. After Silanah began attacking Osseric, I presumed that they had either received this notice themselves, or Silanah herself had sent it out.

I haven't immediately jumped on board because, obviously, a notice does not have to contain the truth. As we can already see, both Emur and Osseric can't be the Lu Emperor.

On first read it sounded like a deflection away from Osseric spiralling out of control.

Right now, it sounds like it is perhaps more promising to do something with than the Osseric situation, as Silanah condeded themselves as they also reveal they did not act on info they obtained themselves seeing how they aren't a finder. I'll have to re-read which side's arguments I like best of Galain/ Meanas, although I get the strong impression they're both not what they pretend to be. In that case, getting rid of either seems a good plan, and considering the trains, it seems much, much easier to lynch Meanas.


I must say though, the Osseric spat interests me way more at the moment. The reason why I find that so interesting is because on my previous location (somewhere in or near Lu lands), a notice has been released sometime in the past that had the exact same wording as the one Osseric released... except that the name of Emurlahn was not Emurlahn's, but Osseric's <_<.

I guess Silanah is acting on something very much like the notice I got (only he has Osseric as Yan Emperor), seeing how he claims he's not a finder.
Now, either one of these notices was true, or what we have here is a civil servant/military officer (most likely, but that is because I can't see the Usurper tinkering like that) who is releasing notices just to see who reacts on thread. That is actually a fairly smart move, as such players are usually on the same tile (or can move only 1 away) as the guy who released the notice, and therefore remain within their action range.

If Silanah's notice said Osseric is the Yan Emperor, it might have been done to out Lu and Xia players at no cost to the Yan, as Osseric may not even be Yan to begin with. However, I do think Osseric has a big role, seeing how they failed to appreciate how notices can be used.

It might have been different days and different locations, my good lady - potentially, we might be dealing with a situation where someone who heard it in my tile then moved to your tile, and spread it there the next day.

Anyway, I'm out, since my working day has ended. May be back later on as the weather involves a lot of rain and little sunshine.

On the Galain/Meanas debate, I think we have struck gold with one of the warlords, and I'm leaning towards it being Galain

For me, the choice is actually very simple. Removing a champion or warlord by voting Galain or Meanas would be good, but nailing a (potential) Emperor is worth forthgoing them for a day, in my opinion. Since our consensus so far seems to be that Osseric is fairly likely to be an Emperor based on his reactions, and since I and others have received information that he might be Lu's head honcho, I'll be more than happy to see if we can land this fish and measure its size. The Lu's are no friends of mine (which, if you analyse the vote trains, is already out in the open).

Vote Osseric

Remove Vote

Vote Osseric

Because I think with the recent notice reveals, that is our best option for today, despite some noises, no one seems particularly willing to take my leap of faith and vote Galain. If Osseric turns out not to be the Lu emperor (interesting that Silanah would paint him as the Yan emperor, by the way), then Silanah may have some questions to answer too. But in my mind, after Osseric, the bigger fish is Galain.

Hahaha, oh my.

Seems someone has been going around:

1) Send notice with <high poster> is <name of emperor of weakest faction>, Emperor
2)??
3) Profit!

Meh.

As much as I would be happy if people come on thread to confirm they also got the same as mine on day 2, I doubt they will, since I'm a good lynch candidate and this would give h ints to their locations.

I do find it curious that Silanah would paint me as the Yan emperor if she's going on that Notice. I'll have to think what she has to gain, although her being Yan is the obvious answer.

How much time is left on the day? I have to go back out (lunch break over) and I'm not sure I can get away with staring at my phone instead of taking part in the discussions of the audit :(

People receiving the same message pretty much explains everything going on with Osseric, which makes things a lot easier. I'd preferably want to find out a little more about barbarians in all honesty, but Osseric does provide a juicy target indeed. Especially as all the things going on around him throughout the thread will be ripe for analysis once his CF is know.

I've got to head to work, but I'll be back later to see how things progress.

Vote Osseric

Have skimmed though horrifically fast and have to run away again

I'm going to

Vote Meanas

On the basis that he may be an invader of some sort, and they're sitting pretty at the moment. Will try and be back in a couple of hours to see if what's happening and do some more thorough reading. Hopefully I can catch up properly on the weekend.

It's only a long weekend for some people. I was planning to do same freeze technique as last weekend for Saturday-Sunday (timer stopped, conversations can continue, actions and votes won't process until Sunday night) and have Monday be a usual day, but I'll be lenient on mod-kill timers.

Sound okay?

Just catching up. Meanas was one of those that I had my eye on earlier and that slip was a rather big one, but at the same time it seems more likely to me that Osseric has the more powerful role between the two. I should be back before the lych (definately if we freeze before then).
