Back.

I knew that TS was faking. I woulnd't have minded so much if I didn't see that he started to talk shop, i.e. game setup and such, with these funky wiggly drawings.

That bit in Korean was interesting. It was a bit out of nowhere, and I remember someone else made a post in Korean early in the game. Votes, no, but that kind of thing could be clumsy signaling. I don't know if there's a Korean faction in the game (in which case that's not signaling, that's brain damage), but if the first post from leader is in Korean, doing the same a few pages later might be a call for attention. In google translate, you chose the langage you translate TO, and Korean and Japanese are not close to each other in the list.


May I also ask what a Shogunate is? Is it important in the context of the game?

There it is. I can agree that one person would "mistake" the setting of the game as being in Korea. But two? After six pages of discussing TS's japanese posts?
vote Eloth

Shogun=supreme ruler (like emperor) of Japan.

from what I understand, the entire sengoku period is concerned with the demise of the cenral authority (the Shogunate), and the wars between various regional warlords to fill the power vacuum.
so, Shogunate is a recurring faction, the "loyalists", so to speak.

in Ch 1, they were town, and unlike history, they beat the Hojo clan, thus retaining their influence.

the events in htis game are a consequence of the defeat of the Hojo--neighbouring clans are trying to take over their territory, more or less.

The rant was shit. The translator-required spam was even stupider shit.
The Korean thing is much more interesting than the TS spam, though.
I don't buy the vote-signaling 'case' either.

At the moment I'm going to
Vote Merrid

[Tiamatha]

this translation business was some fucking bullshit. i'd have all of you fired if i'd hired you to play mafia. no fucking way, there should be a rule about posting text in one language only. idioms, and such. i'm falling off a neo-conservative cliff here, someone help

atrahal and ts are on the list. ts is just buggy with the fucking japanese and atrahal's comments are scummy. so far he's dismisssed all non-english characters as day 1 rp and then in the next few posts, then dismisses codes, then threatens to vote TS for continuing, then speculates on roles/factions.

and to top it all off, they are VOTING FOR EACH OTHER.

god damn. i noticed a couple other things but we need to wait before bringing them up.

i don't know that Ican be fucked to rerad that rant. god. plenty of time left but i see the two people with the highest post counts stirring shit up on thread and voting for each other. if this wasn't a faction game i'd say scum for sure but it seems like heavy deflection right now or some sort of signaling.

that's the alcohol, son. don't let it confuse you. it's not a matter of scum but finding your faction. so for newbz who equate scum with "enemy" the language is very effective at provoking reactions.

How many clans do you think are in the game? I confess to not doing any research regarding this period of time in history. I leave that to the over-acheivers of the group which there are many.

それは、本当に様々な派閥の力に依存する。最後の派閥のゲームは上に行くには何もしている場合。私も派閥がないと仮定する。

Isn't a merc game just another way of saying a faction game? That is how I read it. Shin also mentioned that all the "clans" are equal in number.That means there are either 4 or 5 clans in my book. 2 would be too small and 3 would create uneven numbers. You would have to jump up to 10 clans after that and that is just too crazy.

私はOPを読んで、同等の数については何も表示されませんでした。我々は最近、大派閥と、より強力だったことも含まれている小さな勢力でゲームを見てきました。あなたは、簡単にロールプレイを思い出さ下車しません。

I'm not trying to get off easy with the role play. I just want some point of reference that people can look back on some of these posts 3 or 4 days from now and not have to retranslate everything that you posted here on day one. Also you might want to reread the OP. Shin clearly states that the teams are the same size in number.I was trying to go back through some of Shin's posts on the sign up thread. I could have swore that he mentioned that the game could have ran with 16 players if he had to. If so then I'm saying that there are 4 teams. What do people think this Open alliance comment means?

OK, still not done, but a quick request:When you guys are humoring Tulas Shorn by "believing" that he's forced to post like this, could you at least include a copy/paste of your Google translation in the reply, so we don't also waste our time for his considerable amusement?

I was role playing. I even said that I was role playing like 3 times. I answered questions gave my thoughts. Because you are to stupid and lazy to use Google translator, I suggest that you perhaps call up your mother and apologize for being the retard sperm that managed to impregnate her egg, when your father was drunkenly mauling her in the back of a Van filled with pot smoke.

I would think this being the internet that people would be able to find Google translator with out having to have their hands held. Has mafia really became such a exercise of stupidity that a. nobody but a select few can actually role play or even know what role playing is (I mean fuck this is only day 1 therefore you shouldn't even fucking complain about role playing unless it goes on to day 2. and b. that even though you can access the internet you can't actually use it for more then looking for midget porn.

Have a nice.


Just so you unable to use google morons don't miss this.

As others said, it is quite annoying when playing from a phone.
As I commented: running to google translate isn't exactly Roleplay.
Anyhow, cute rant.
But a few snide remarks:

1) Roleplay is a side-effect of the game, but it isn't game day 1 for nothing - the game is running. It's okay that you're not superduper serious but it is still a game day.

2) Roleplay depends on interaction, that means other people going along with it. Initiating it, cool. If it doesn't get people along, pity. Either way, no big issue. It is voluntary.

3) If people are annoyed with you playing the game under cover of google translate, they may have a point. RP is to amuse yourself and them (Personally, I'd have preferred if you added a haiku to each post instead, or posted in haiku or tanka/waka, would have gained you massive rep from me after the game, anyway)

4) In the old days, dragon sex took place during night resolution, not during the day. It being the unenlightened romantic nineties, they may even have turned of the light.

5) Few of our parents are old enough to have been born in the hippie-era....next time, keep the average age of your audience in mind when you try to insult them

6) In a game where no-one knows the roles, it is natural that people are suspicious. You can say you are RPing, but do they have to believe you? Nope, this is mafia, there's a lot of nerves and people trying to be clever, and no-one trusts no-one.

7) There is too much punctuation and too much correct grammar in your rant to become a classic.

I really wanted to get to 10 points, just to make it like the ten commandments, but here's a really nice haiku for you, by Matsu Basho.

Quote

in my new clothing
i feel so different, i must
look like someone else

edited to fix the haiku.

As I deleted almost all of the truly horrible parts out of that rant. It in no way should be considered a classic. Actually with the amount of drug use that has started to occur in society at large since the "hippie era" it is just as likely that someone was conceived in a pot filled room now as it was in the 1960's. The van might have been a stretch I will give you that. As you very well know dragon sex left the night and migrated to the day several games ago. The fact that you are ignorant of this speaks to both your old age and your lack of current playing. I was actually the second person to post in Japanese and at the time there were players playing along with me. It is after we stopped and everyone else started to come on that they had a problem with us posting in japanese. I am ignoring Atrahal (he has been alted and should be ignored). So in answer to your list.

In the next post of course although this is a re post, it contains said rant nonetheless!! Made me giggle
