I am clueless right now about who is on what side. It's Day 1 in a big 'ol faction game. So I'm gonna roll the dice.

Day 1 Attack Korvalain

Has this guy even posted yet?

Interesting, two generals attack each other, 2 more generals manage to pick leaders (although it does them no good).

Surprised only 3 of 5 Lieutenants have gotten heal actions in.

So I'm allied with the Fujiwari of Odawara.. Does this mean that the whole game will be like that, and I should avoid killing the Fujiwara? Or could it be temporary and a few deaths could be good?

And I wonder who my leader is... Takeda Nobumasa? Nobutora?

If it's as real-world sensitive as I know you are, Shin, it's Nobumasa or Nobutsuna. Of course, those are clan heads. Not neccesarily the people who would be invading.

What is it, 1490 I believe? Nobumasa would have been a ripe old 43. Nobutsuna would have been 19. Hmm, it's a hard pick. I'm thinking Nobutsuna. Now how to work this into a code that my leader will notice... hopefully he's paying attention.

Of course, I could be completely wrong. I've been known to do that.

Good work JLV, your leader is Nobutsuna. And Tapper is knowledgable enough to pick up on a signal if he makes a good one.

You are Lieutenant Iwakiri Yoshitora under General Iida Gen (Korlat) of the clan Fujiwari.

Abilities

Defend – Open (Day) – During the day phase a Lieutenant may order a defensive position around the player of their choosing. If that target is attacked, this works as a guard against the attack. You may not order this defense on yourself.This day action works via Ironman Rules.

Defend – Secret (Night) A lieutenant may order a detail of soldiers to protect the player of their choice at night. Any attempt to kill that target results in a wounding instead.

So, no mention that I can't use Defend-Secret(Night) on myself... can I?

Either way, for now:

Night 1 - Defend Korlat

If I can defend myself, I'll only use it if I'm critically wounded and in danger of dying. If I defend Korlat continuously for now chances are she can survive a night or two once I get wounded.

As to on-thread goings-ons, lots of signaling cases that are probably all wrong, as expected. You always get that in merc games and the sad part is that if any of those signals are genuine there is so much of them that the person being signaled probably won't notice or believe it. I find it pretty unlikely Eloth is really signaling me because {a} it was terrible if it was and {b} I'm just a Lieutenant. Based solely on what I know from my role PM I'm guessing it is not an everyone-knows-their-leader setup but instead an everyone-knows-their-superior setup.

So, ie, it might be:

Lieutenant >> General >> Clan Leader << General << Lieutenant

or something like that.

Night Action (Provisional) - Defend Kessobahn

I'm hoping that by trying to heal Kesso I don't stop him from being able to perform night actions.

the only one ot talk smack bout my leader.... he must die.

[Path-Shaper]

The Miura and Ashikaga are now secret allies. The Uesugi may not have a secret alliance, and their Open alliance will expire starting Day 2.

The Takeda and Fujiwari are Openly aligned, so there are no other secret allies.

Khell changed his prov. so this is moot.

Well, for the record, I was trying to post only in the meme's seen during the game and then expanding to other games' memes. I was trying to have technical mistakes in every post after I stupidly miscounted the syllables in unoriginal

But I am surprised that no one picked up on my posting style, especially how my rant was an obvious mockery of Venge's with the small font and everything. And doing a Kruppe routine, picture and quote only Bensey style, etc. Makes me sad. AND the fact that most of my later posts were trying to explain to those thick heads what I was doing without breaking my posting-style. Meh, I am only sorry in that I was a leader and Venge was on my team (if I had known, well I dunno. I did say I was going to RP, and I certainly did. ::pats himself on the back:: )

So, to my dear team, Vengy, Starling, and ansible, you have my sympathies and apologies for being such a bad leader. (PS, does one of them get the leadership role?)

And good work RPing Venge. You had my applause and double rep for you when you arrive here, hopefully after winning the game.

Now now newbies, play nice

Just read the WHOLE DAMN THING and decided that thelynch was completely ridiculous. Eloth was just foolin' around, and just because this is mafia, everyone grabs their katanas and goes after him. pretty funny, I thought.

Funny how you come in AFTER the lynch and say that. Quite helpful of you.

Well, excUUUUuuuuUUUse me, princess.

really, Silanah? you make 5 posts on day one, one of which was a repeat of the previous post, and then you come in AFTER the lynch and say "oh, i knew all along he was just playing". in addition, none of your posts have any content to them.

what exactly was the purpose of your comment? "i know better than the rest of you"? try finding something constructive to say instead.

Sorry GH, in this game only Leaders had the power to promote.

NIght 1


Attack Okaros

I am afraid of hitting my teammate, but don't want to waste a kill. Is that selfish of me? I bet the NKs will fly all over tonight, want to get one in before I go.

I followed Fener and didn't vote Eloth. Not sure if he was doing that on purpose, or by coincidence. wonder if the non voters are my faction? haha not bloody likely until Day 3 right? I have seen no sign from Fener pointing to anyone, he saw my unalted post early on and responded to that, doubful signal

Arrrgggghhhhh

Please dont be on my side *crosses fingers*

Night action- defend Karatallid. Secretly. Like a ninja-samurai combo.

Fener, on 24 January 2012 - 10:14 PM, said:

I was going to ask this:

New night actions, and these are confirmed:

Recruit Omtose

Secret alliance in this order:

Fujiwari
Uesugi
Miura
Takeda

For day 2:

Break alliance with Uesugi. Request alliance with:
Miura.
If not, then Uesugi


Is this not possible now?

Provisional was changed by Fener, so the Miura and the Ashikaga may NOT be secret allies.

Poor guy, he may not get a secret alliance now (haven't figure it out yet), and he loses his partial success of a General recruit and will now fail to recruit a spearman. Doh.

Oh Gusty... He does make himself such a nice, easy target...

But his CF leaves questions. It seems unlikely now that he and Merrid were signalling. GH/Eloth wasn't Korean, so either Merrid was Korean and none of his team mates were silly enough to answer, or there really are no Koreans (which seems more likely, DESPITE your scene!) and the whole thing was a witch hunt.

Which basically puts us at square one, but minus a team member.

I also realised my choice for defending Fener was based more on Town/Scum game tactics, as he seems to be the kind of target a scum would go for. That being said, I have no better ideas, so confirm defence on Fener.

Omtose, on 24 January 2012 - 10:13 PM, said:

Ah, well, that backfired slightly. On the one hand if that was my fault i've narrowed down who my leader is and lynched someone not in our team and not allied with is.

Oh well, I shall have to look as confused as everyone else.
Does anyone else have this ability or can you not say that much?

(Sorry GH!)

For my night one action I would like to attack and kill

Gaylan Lord




Please execute him in the traditional style of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Specifically the severing of Ishida Mitsunari head from his shoulders. I believe that he is rummer to have been buried alive and had villagers saw at his exposed head with a bamboo saw.

Fener/Khell's change results in:

Takeda and Miura are Secret Allies
Ashikaga and Fujiwari are Secret Allies.

Uesugi can no longer form alliances.

So, unless something changes here is how night will resolve.

Karatallid (Miura) attacks Atrahal (Takeda). Sheltatha Lore heals Atrahal so the attack fails.

Atrahal (Takeda) attacks Osseric (Ashikaga). Osseric is not protected either by heal or alliance. Osseric dies.

Kesso (Ashikaga) attacks Okaros. Okaros is not protected by Alliance so loses his BP.

Tulas Shorn (Uesugi) attacks Galayn Lord. GL is not protected by Alliance so loses his BP.

Galayn Lord (Takeda) attempts to recruit Osseric (Ashikaga). Osseric is not protected by Alliance and it would be a success but is dead from Atrahal's attack. (Takeda General undermines their own leader...)

Fener (Ashikaga) will attempt to recruit Omtose. Spearman, so will fail.

Okaros (Miura) will attempt to recruit Kessobahn (Ashikaga). This will be a partial success, reported to Okaros as a failure.

Korvalain (Fujiwari) Recruit Omtose (Fujiwari) (Spearman, so will fail, not to mention already the same team)
