Not sure what Gwynn/Kaschan seeks to achieve by simply stating that they will continue to low post - give them another target, suggest someone! I think Kaschan's bought it unless something revelatory happens. The game's stagnated a bit as everyone's become ultra-wary of the possibility that their supposed team-mates may have been recruited by Sima Yi by now. But the barbarian lynch should get them going again a bit.

Also... ask Khell. "WTF were you thinking!!!" how do you out your emperor. unreal man... unreal.

Screw it. Lets mix things up. Illuminate Luo Yang. I am pretty sure that both Barghast and Sil have been recruited. Combine that with the fact that everyone knows I am Yan because of Khell...My chances of winning this thing are fuck-all.

NA Noted. Words posted to SH.

(In the very same post you think Barg/Sil are recruited but wonder why Khell would out his emperor? I guess The Dude is holding to the idea that Jin comes up in CFs before Sima Yi's emperor dies, which is sadly not the case.)

Short answer: I wasn't thinking.

Slightly longer answer: I didn't know you were my Emperor, and by that point I'd been recruited to a different faction, so I didn't care about you any longer in any case. Not that I had realised I'd been recruited.

[Khellendros]

The amount of talking Thyrllan's done in his personal convos compared to his thread presence is unbelievable! The convos have done him little good now that the majority of his team is dead though.

Karosis and Korlat are pretty much the same - it seems that an ability to talk off-thread really impacts your on-thread presence.

What exactly is ninja-Shin's long-term plan here? Perhaps he means to run off the map and thus save himself? And why does Ment keep insisting on the bloody healing catapults? We could have a lovely massacre without them! Coward!!

If you give someone a chance to heal themselves, they'll take it. It gives you the security of not having to worry about being NKed, and everyone likes that for the simple reason that deep down, everyone thinks of themselves as marginally more valuable than your average team member. In a faction game it's actually true - your team suffers more if you die than if a random player dies. That's why most people played cautiously at the beginning, and a lot of them are still playing cautiously now, IMO.


ST

I'm just praying that Barghy guards him. His reaction of "but I catapulted myself!" should soothe all our frustrations.

That's another interesting thing - no-one has chosen to guard anyone if they can do something else. I suspect that's because of the pairings of options for Civil/Military Officer. If you have a choice between Guard and Kill, then you'll pick Kill unless you have extra knowledge about a player (or you're acting in tandem with someone else). Why keep an an enemy in the game when you could take a pop at getting rid of him instead, right? But the fact is that teams do need Guards in this game - they are the counter to self-healers. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone without a self-heal ability has realised that's what is going on when their NAs fail, so they're not trying to guard. Plus, you'd need some off-thread comms to pull it off...

ST

This is very true. If Emur had been able to put me in contact with HP then He could have guarded karosis and I would have killed him.....Sniff

edit: hadn't caught up on thread yet... okay if they lynch Ruse then yeah you're right. Damn, I need to think up some Lu downfall scenes then!

Also, loving how everyone (Emur included) thinks Emur and Karosis are same faction when they're arch-rivals and should be at each others' throats.

To Silanah:

dear Silly,

I've made an effort to disassociate our dear lord Emperor from the Yan badge Khell branded on him through an innocious little post. People accept it as a mindfuck attempt by Khell and see Tennes as a 3K faction henchmen. Please don't go around saying he is Yan. Because, good sir, if you end up dead and destroyed, your CF will be Yan, and we'll have 2 Yan players saying Tennes is Yan.

Now, they might see it as double bullshitting, but our Emp is so far catching quite a lot of heat, at the least, compared to others. So, they might test it because they want to go on a Yan hunt, capiche?

Barghast, on 18 October 2011 - 11:12 AM, said:

Actually, let's redo my faction breakdown.
8 Yan, of which is Khell x2. 6 Lu. 6 Xia. 2x2 barbs. 1 Usurper = 25.
8 Yan because we won our game, and this is the only way to match things with parity in the other kingdoms. But I'm not sure. Usurper will be placed in a hotbed of activity between two kingdoms. It makes sense to make him border the Yan.


Yan (7 confirmed, 3 alive):
Tennes - Emp
Barghast - his amaZING PM
Meanas - Khellster
Mockra - Khellster
Serc - civil officer
Sorrit - civil officer
Silanah - wayward civil officer

suspected:
Thyrllan, based on me being paired and him not outing me, but that might be because he is the Usurper?


Lu (4 confirmed, 2 alive)
Osseric - Emp
Galain - PM
..... - fingercutting princess
Rashan - civil officer
Gamelon - civil officer
HP - civil officer

Xia (2 confirmed, but I'm somewhat sure of this, 4 alive).
Emurlahn - Emperor
Karosis - PM
Omtose - Assassin
Okaros - civil henchman
Tiamatha - civil henchman
Telas - civil henchman


Barbarians and unknowns (6, 1 Lu, 1 usurper, all alive):

SL is barbarian.
Atrahal is barbarian.
Kessobahn is barbarian.
Korlat is unknown to me, but I'd guess Barbarian, otherwise Lu.
Kaschan is coasting, barbarian.
Ruse might be the Usurper, if not, he's Lu.

Once more, I'm looking forward to how wrong I am.


Atrahal, Barghast, Emurlahn, Galain, Gamelon, Hood's Path, Karosis, Kaschan, Kessobahn, Korlat, Meanas, Mockra, Okaros, Omtose, Osseric, Rashan, Ruse, Serc, Sheltatha Lore, Silanah, Sorritt, Telas, Tennes, Thyrllan, Tiamatha

I'm going to be gone for a while today, no idea if i'll mae it back for lynch and thinking about NKs, anyone you think it would be a good idea to target, I suppose I could go for HP, he is a good distraction though and seems to be putting off people voting for the both of you. Atrahal maybe, although I thought he could be important and maybe covered, Tennes might be a thought but he wasn't in our location a couple of nights back and there is still more chance of hitting someone who is i'd say. Kess again, maybe third time lucky there, or telas I suppose since no one seems to want to lynch him.

Anyway, with so much info floating around, the best bet is to lynch Ruse - everything else under discussion hinges on that.

Hardly. It's just more convenient for you.

So from what I understand from you and Silanah and Thyrllan is that Barghast, Karosis, and Emurlahn are on a team, all know each other, and are railroading you, because Emurlahn is standing up for Karosis and lots of other people just copy Emurlahn, therefore anyone that votes for you must be on that team as well?

I think Karosis and Emur are on a team. I didn't think Barghast was on their team. Either he is, or he just really hates Ruse. Or sees that as the more viable lynch. It's really an opinion.

i'm glad you are so certain of this. because, ironically enough, I'm not. i'm very torn on the issue, so i've been foregoing having to deal with it by looking for other targets for a few days now.
and I'll kick myself hard if I get to spoilers to find out he was a barb.

My current take on where people stand.

Twelve Military officer Xia
Emurlahn Emperor Xia
Silanah Civ/Mil Officer Yan
Karosis Warlord GongSun
Barghast Special unit Yan
Thryllan Special Unit Lu
Kessobahn Civ/Mil Unit Xia
Tennes Emperor Yan
Korlat Champian GongSun
Okaras Champian Ma Chao
Kaschan Warlord Ma Chao
Atrahal Prime Min Xia
Telas Usuper Sima Yi
Sheltatha Lore PM Yan

The first 5 I'm 95% certain are at least the right faction.
6-8 maybe 9 I'm around 75% certain I have the faction right
10-14 were who were left and the positions that needed to be filled. I think I would be lucky getting 2 of those right and one of them would be the warlord faction.

With 3 players posting notices in Luo Yang and Ruse being dead that only leaves Silanah and the Usuper as those able to post the third Notice. That means that Korlat, Atrahal, Telas and Kessobahn as the likely Usuper. I'm fairly positive the Korlat isn't part of Xia as I did a read up on her and either she was doing some massive signaling to Emurlahn early in the game or she honestly didn't know who he was which is more than likely.

Sima Yi is Telas. He now knows that you are Yan Liang and have joined Jin.

If Huang Zhong dies, Sima Yi will become an Emperor and his recruits (including you) will become official Jin-faction players.

About Bloody time. I'm tired of the Emperor wasting my time. So do the same rules apply to me being able to switch roles in the same location as Telas?

Once a Jin dynasty is declared, you'll be able to switch between CO/MO in Telas' location, but until then you continue to switch in Emurlahn's location only.
