Just waiting on NAs from Galain and Kessobahn to resolve the night. I'm now off to bed.

Still pretty surprised by what happened on thread, but I guess in a faction game the sort of knowledge Venge was threatening (even if, AFAIK, he didn't really have much to offer) is not the sort of stuff people want others to know.

I feel like Wyl E. Coyote every time we see the CF. Each time I have to go back to the drawing board.

(What is it with Wil E Coyote references tonight?)

Galain, on 13 October 2011 - 02:30 AM, said:

Wow, I'm just completely not around to play ...

Anyways:

Find Ruse

Karosis and a few more likely candidates I'm not going to bother with - other people will be heavily all over them in Finds.

Noted

Kessobahn, on 13 October 2011 - 02:17 AM, said:

Night whatever it is now

Heal Emurlahn
Notices in JiangXia again

Also, If I am on the same space as emurlahn and I heal him, and someone else tries to heal someone on that space, do the heals create a duel, do they cancel out? Or does it go through if we are on the same space unless I am disabled by an action (guard or w/e)?

NAs noted. If you and another player heal each other, it could create a duel, but otherwise heals will not create a duel.

Nice, Galain is finding Ruse.

I was afraid he would give in his paranoia and find Thyrllan every night like he said

That exchange was very funny, but outing Telas was another small notch in Khell's Saboter card

Just using this as a reply, I thought your posts were great and you almost got out of the lynch, you even had the notice down to a T, i'm gutted we didn't lynch Emur after Tiam with the potential signalling.

Bah, I tried what I could, but when I saw the world of pain I was getting from my attack on Emur, I started to feel there was more than the fact he was an Emperor...

I just feel bad that the situation highlighted some of the other Lu, i.e. Galain and Thyrllan. It must have been a tough time for them to figure out how to act. The tide was close for a bit, they were right to push a bit on Meanas.

Hahaha, I just read the thread. The reaction to Venge's "I'll be back in 20 minutes with tons of information" is classic

TAKE THAT FINDER!

@ Tattersail:

Actually, I started in Eight Fan, not Jiang Xia. On the first day, I moved Mockra to Jiang Xia, to find Tennes there. Now, how could I be sure that Tennes was in the same faction? 1) I didn't know where Illumination came from or who did it; 2) Other factions could have moved from the two border tiles into Jiang Xia the same way I did from Eight Fan, in just one move. So while, yes, there was a good chance Tennes was in the same faction (and that was the reason why I didn't perform any night action on them that night after deliberating it), I couldn't be sure.

As for following Barghast's lead, I did just that as much as I could. I held off attacking Osseric (because I didn't know if they might be my emperor) until Barghast had thrown his cards in. But most of the time Barghast was unfortunately very wary of me, and one of the first people to vote for Meanas

Would this be something of a new record: I've of course managed to screw over my own team before, but what if I now manage to screw over BOTH of my teams this game, as Tennes and Telas are quickly lynched one after the other?

or should that be

I guess I could ahve stayed in the same place as Tennes and notified everyone on night one but then I wouldn't have caught Osseric as emperor so early in the game. Jiang Xia is deep into Yan Territory and I didn't see anyone other than Yan being in that city, so when you were being lynched you didn't need to highlight Tennes' position because that made us all doubt you could be Yan. However, looking back you had been recruited so were no longer Yan.

I wanted to see what he said though, it would have been a classic reply. It would have been an explosion of swear words, curses and attacks, i'm sorry we missed it although it's great they voted of an Xia member, Go team Yan


To be fair though, the warlords are looking strong right now, who did Telas try and recruit?

[Khellendros]

Kessobahn I think.

[Tattersail_]

and is he not recruitable? weren't they in a similar position?

[Jump Around]

I don't think Prime Ministers are recruitable

[Tattersail_]

He's so unlucky then so far!!

How about emperors?

Quote

Recruit - Each night you may choose a player to recruit. If the player is in your location or a location adjacent to yours, they will secretly become loyal to you and learn your identity, but their abilities and reported faction will not change. You will learn whether you succeeded or failed at recruiting, and if successful you learn the role name of the player. This ability does not work on Emperors, Prime Ministers or Warlords.

[Tattersail_]

How cool is Telas' role?

Quote

Role: Sima Yi
Role Type: Usurper
Faction: TBD (hidden: Jin)
Title: unknown
Starting Location: -none-

You are Sima Yi, a high-ranking civil official, military advisor and master strategist in one of the three kingdoms.


Currently:

-You have no location.
-You are immune to all NAs.
-You cannot perform any NAs or DAs.
-You can still be lynched.


On any Day of your choosing, pick one of the three kingdoms (Xia, Lu or Yan). The Emperor of that kingdom must still be alive. You will immediately join their faction (while still truly being loyal only to yourself) and will be moved to their capital location. It will be announced on-thread that Sima Yi has begun usurping a kingdom (but not which one).



Once you have joined a kingdom:

You become a member of that faction and will appear as such in relation to all abilities except for any abilities that would automatically reavel you to the Emperor or Prime Minister (if they have abilities which report on their underlings).

You may use the Move and Notice abilities during the Day. Your movement is restricted the same as for any player in your new faction.

Recruit - Each night you may choose a player to recruit. If the player is in your location or a location adjacent to yours, they will secretly become loyal to you and learn your identity, but their abilities and reported faction will not change. You will learn whether you succeeded or failed at recruiting, and if successful you learn the role name of the player. This ability does not work on Emperors, Prime Ministers or Warlords.

Talent - You have a one-time BP which preserves your life for a single night against all fatal attacks. It auto-activates and you will be told when it is used up.



When your Emperor dies:

You become Emperor of Jin. All players you previously recruited become part of the Jin faction, and their location changes and other effects are now Jin-influenced accordingly.

You may no longer use Recruit.
You do not lose Talent if it has not yet been activated.

You gain the following night abilities, and may use one of them each night:

Reports from the Field - Every Dawn you receive the role names and locations of all Jin Dynasty players.

Kill (std)

Guard (std)

Eight Gate Formation - Select another player. If they are in your location, ALL actions against you will target them instead. (Note: this will redirect, but not confuse finds: if you are Alkend and you target Omtose, a finder will learn that "Omtose is ______")

You can only use 1 of Kill, Guard and EGF each night.

I have read it a few times and WANT it

Unfortunately the find won't have succeeded because Ruse is in Jiang Xia and is therefore too far away .

Well you obviously didn't out Galain and Thyrllan too obviously because the Ma Chaos still can't figure out they should be killing those two...

Blame Ment for healing half the game every night. Between his constant Luo Yang heals and the combination of emergency fleet to Xin Du and Barghast's fearsome-rep (this application of the two not being something I foresaw), most of the game is just constantly trying to kill people that are either healed or blocking... I like how half the players have said in PMs that they think Ment is emperor (true) but aren't trying to lynch him because they don't feel they can make a case on him...

Yeah, the find was out-of-range. I do like Shinrei's running around the map to flank the enemy (or whatever the heck he's up to). I haven't posted much of the lover convos, but Thyr and galain really aren't talking much at all, and Thyr's broken the barghast convo but not started another. JA pointed out suspicion that Shin was a Lu before, Galain should've told Thyr to bond with him right away and then they'd all know each other and could've coordinated a guard+heal on Okaros (who they STILL know is Ma Chao and STILL haven't done anything about, wtf?)...
