Thanks guys, made it home finally

Dude, it's not like it was just one day. You and OE (who has an excuse now at this point) have been missing all game. Can't fault people for taking the easy way out in a faction game.

[Path-Shaper]

Will resolve and put up scenes as soon as I can get everything processed.

[Path-Shaper]

Uesugi Kenshin heard the roaring in his ears, as if a divine wind were assaulting him and him alone. He looked at his troops, and saw their stoic faces. Yes, only he could hear it. It must be the voice of Bishamonten, the god of war, carrying to Kenshin a message of victory, for within that wind he heard the voices of his enemies, howling for his head. Yet he knew Bishamonten’s presence stood like a wall against their will. He, Kenshin, was Bishamonten’s avatar on earth, and on this day the Takeda would fall like dead leaves in winter.

After all the waiting, marching and anticipating, the Uesugi and Takeda lines engaged. The Takeda battle group led by Sanada Yukitaka found itself in a pitched battle with the Uesugi group led by Amakasu Kagemochi. Neither side was willing to give ground, men and horses falling to spears and arrows. Yukitaka laid about with his naginata, splitting the face of an Uesugi soldier before skewering the throat of a second. Kagemochi rode down a Takeda archer and spinning in his saddle swept his sword across the face of a mounted Takeda samurai, who dropped from his saddle like a bale of rice.

Nakajo Fujikasuke leading the Uesugi Vanguard attempted to swing over to help Kagemochi’s battle group, but found his way blocked by Takeda Nobushige leading the Takeda Vanguard. Receiving support from reserve troops, both Uesugi and Takeda Vanguards inflict terrible casualties. The Takeda Van and supporting troops proove to be more numerous than the Uesugi Van, and Nakajo watches as his line pushes, wrinkles, and then crumples backwards. He gives the order for his men to retreat and join the Support troops commanded by Yasuda Nagaide. He wheels his horse around to join them, but as he does so takes an arrow to the back and slides from his horse, spitting blood.

Nakajo Fujikasuke (Denesmet/Blend) of the Uesugi is dead.

It is Day 4. 36 hours are left in the day.

15 Players still alive: Anomandaris, Apparal Forge, Denul, Eloth, Emurlahn, Gait, Grasp, Kadagar Fant, Korlat, Merrid, Olar Ethil, Omtose, Shadow, Telas, Ultama

8 votes to lynch, 7 votes to go to night.

[Shadow]

pretty scene

[Denul]

So, there was no lynch scene. Nothing to indicate day had ended. Only the battle scene.

Here are the votes as they landed

Emurlahn, on 08 February 2016 - 10:36 PM, said:

It certianly isn't no

I'm just saying if I wanted to go this way, I'd prefer Gait and gave my reasons why. Then I'm asking for your reasons. Actually I don't really think it's bad idea, but because you didn't give the reasons I asked for

vote Gait


now I'm really off

That smacks as a coaster fo sho

Korlat, on 09 February 2016 - 05:49 AM, said:

I'm about to head to sleep, hasn't been too much going on so far today. I'll drop my vote on Gait for now, maybe a bit more pressure will get him active/make him talk (while getting rid of a coaster is good for everyone, I'd prefer to get as much information out of Gait beforehand.

Vote Gait

Kadagar Fant, on 09 February 2016 - 06:15 PM, said:

OK, I'm back and read up.

By my count we have about three and a half hours left, yes? 1 vote for Olar Ethil and 3 votes for Gait (Denul removed from OE to vote Gait).

Those calling for a high information lynch are going to have to do something about it themselves. Make a case! Put yourself out there, no one else is going to do it for you.

Denesmet's vote of OE, and the accompanying misinformation about votes, has me twitchy. In addition, I'm starting to wonder if all these calls for high information lynches without cases are just ways of steering focus away from Gait without defending him.

Vote Gait.


I'll be around intermittently until the end of the day.

Shadow, on 09 February 2016 - 07:01 PM, said:

3.5 hours left by my current count.

*shrugs* I was hoping that OE and/or Gait would return and give me a more clear direction.

remove vote
vote Gait

Seems to be the way the lynch is going. Fingers crossed he's not in my faction, though really, if he is, I'm okay with getting rid of a player who isn't actually playing.

Merrid, on 09 February 2016 - 08:44 PM, said:

I'll hop along, with no strong feelings.

Vote Gait.

Anomandaris, on 09 February 2016 - 09:10 PM, said:

Aaaaand


Vote Gait

[Anomandaris]

Why would there be a lynch scene when there weren't enough votes? Were you expecting a lynch after 8 votes?

[Anomandaris]

Gait, on 10 February 2016 - 12:58 AM, said:

Thanks guys, made it home finally

I don't know what this is supposed to mean, but maybe now you're home you could get to posting something game-wise. It's been some ten hours since this day started already. Or we can just carry on where we left off yesterday.

I think I have a good grasp of the higher content people. I wouldn't want to get later into endgame with a player who has spouted RL nonsense throughout the game and has ridden our coattails and tolerance throughout.

In M&P I would be more inclined to agree. However, the information we'll have later is dependant on what happens now. There won't magically be more information just because it's the endgame. Sure I don't have much read on OE or Gait... or a ton of other people really -- because we've had easy hop on low-information lynches that haven't committed people much either way. If we keeping coasting through the game with easy lynches, I don't see how that improves. At some point, someone has to make something happen, and try to do something that isn't just arbitrary. If you've got a good grasp on the higher content people, why aren't you pushing someone you think isn't on your team?

The lower content people are not leaving a thread presence, they are not leaving clues whereas the higher content players are. When we get to a few players left, you can see who was gunning for who, and eliminate who could and couldn't be in the same faction. I have no qualms about getting rid of Gait or Olar, regardless if they are in my faction or not. There were, I think, at least 3 people who were against an Olar lynch but pro a Gait lynch. That says something in itself.

[Anomandaris]

Oh and Olar as well for that matter. I don't particularly care at this point if they're a late entrant into the game. Two posts.

No, I thought we'd manage a lynch. I'm wondering why we didn't.

I agree with this. Rather than shoot down the guy who has put an offer on the table, put one of your own. All talk and no action with some people. They want to disagree for the sake of it.

[Denul]

Anyway,

Vote Gait

Maybe there was some hesitancy in lynching him. Making him more important than what he seems.

So we just vote off randomly until we're down to a few players left? Sounds both fun and productive.

Though your thought about Olar is possibly interesting. I think it's more likely just down to peple giving Olar more leeway due to him being replaced and seeing nothing to choose between him and Gait.

More annoyingly is that one of them is "Yeah guys, I'll post in a little bit", before disppearing again. That always grates on me.

Yep, some really great content here... also a wonderful post where you present a nice list of everyone else's votes (which you did again today)... and you start yesterday with your vote on OE for being a "non-entity" regardless of the fact that you've coasted almost as much as he has with one sentence "I agree" votes, summaries of what other people have contributed, and little of any originality.

[Shadow]

vote gait

You got another chance it seems.make use of it to do something on the thread or why even bother signing up.

[Merrid]

Well, with regard to Denul, KF and their movers and shakers: I guess Lisheo tried to be one: look where he ended up. And how the hell is one supposed to make a case in a faction game to begin with, apart from "So and so is a member of faction X, lynch them!" - after which faction Y might hop on, and X sits still and hopes for a day time-out?

I guess if we do want a high-info lynch, the trick is to pick a controversial target - but how do you know who is such a target, write down all the names and throw a dart?

In other news, my posting will suffer a bit. I cut my index finger with a bread knife this morning and the stiffness and plaster are affecting my typing. Bastard bread.

[Merrid]

I am not against a Gait lynch, but I will with-hold for now. The day is still relatively young, maybe someone will put themselves in an awkward position, less chance of that if there is no easy train (yet).

You have a mouth, I have balls. Why don't you put your balls where your mouth is?

[Denul]

If Eloth wants information, he'd have voted for Gait yesterday because besides the fact there was no other lynch on the table, he didn't go out of his way to create another option AND the only information we got was from night. More information would have been from 2 CF's.

Now, I wouldn't want to go voting Eloth, for example ,because he has a presence on thread and could be in my team. I'd rather vote those non entities that always make it to the end of the game because people like Eloth say they give little information.

I'm not partial to just Gait, I would vote for Olar just as much.
