Romance of the Three Kingdoms [ENDGAME]

#2881

I don't understand how I only for the those two Indy roles? I mean looking at the three you have one leader one strategist and one warrior. So how did you narrow it down? I assume you looked at my battle record?

#2882

I think indigo is full of it and grasping at straws. Why can't he be bad? Can someone please enlighten me.

#2883

There was a musician from a foreign land who was visiting and entertaining. He brought with him strange instrumentation and melodies that were unusual. He was even known to play for wine.

How nice of him.

#2885

I'm not sure I can help with anything Indiglo, I am trying to go on general feelings about what I expect from a civ, or what I expect from a mafioso. Its been a long time since I played, and as people gradually change their styles, I have no gut feelings about particular people based on their styles. I also started late in the game, and for me, being present at the start of a game is crucial. Rereading is like cramming, essentially, I have lost any gut feelings I get about players to compare to later in the game. I also don't know many of the people playing. So, I will give you what little impression I have, for what its worth.

I kind of feel like Bass is civ, or an indy who is no threat to civs. Or- he could be the indy who inherits the YT kill, but I'm not sure he would have been so blase about dueling if that were the case. So, pretty sure he's ok.

Nijuu does something I have done as mafia, so I may be projecting here. Showing up only when someone posts or votes you, shows that you are following, but staying UTR. Posting when its close to voting time also suggests that you may be busy, but make time to vote and send in your night action, killing 2 birds w/1 stone. But, would an experienced player actually do that? Its like the kind of thing I used to do years ago. So I'm not sure about her.

Boomslang is just a mystery, too quiet for comfort. He, and Nijuu, are not really doing any scum-hunting, and that makes me a bit suspicious too.

DF is very non-committal, staying in a safe zone. This kind of play on his part in the past would have had my radar out, but I've been gone so long that I don't trust my radar yet.

I will vote whoever the remainder decides is best, because as someone else said, the numbers are dwindling here, and now is not the time for mistakes.

So you're saying you're 1 of those 3 roles?

PS - The Warrior had to choose a faction to align with after Day 3, so that dude is likely is no longer Indy.

No, it helps Mata. Everything helps.

I'm still questioning whether or not I misinterpreted something regarding Bass, but his recent posts have me thinking perhaps I did not misinterpret after all. I do not know.

But, I will also vote however we all decide, if I love, just like it, or whatever. If we win, we win together, and if we fail, we fail together!

LOL

It does not. To win two duels does not equate to winning three duels. Leetic may remain my only true suspect, but I would pit him against those who are plausible enough alternative foes.

I've already answered this, and don't feel like we're seeing eye to eye on this.

Do you have info on Bass that you would like to share with the class? Because his veiled threats that his death will do damage to the town are resoundingly hollow to my ears right now.

You ask me an impossible question.

Just know that I believe the clever fish. Are the words of this spirit resoundingly hollow to your ears right now?

#2892

I'm inclined to side with Zuo Ci here. So far he's helped town quite a bit, so it's safe to assume he isn't leading us astray.

I'm not role claiming at all because it's against the rules I was just trying to figure out how you narrowed me down to those two roles so I look at all three indys

I don't think he's leading us astray either, nor do I think he's super obviously wrong. I'm just questioning what we should be prioritising - the inactive YT, or the SK in the waiting. leetic is the safe choice, but we have the opportunity to look long term.

I'm not swayed to pick either side. I just want to see what people think about the idea, and I'll probably go along with the majority.

#2900

Going with the majority seems like a good spot for a low key SK to blend in. Something to think about.

#2901

I'm probably going to go with the majority

I can't think of a better reason to go with anyone else, so why not? I'll wait awhile though, before voting Leetic and Nijuu.

#2902

Well I sure hope y'all are right about nijuu or else she is a warrior who can defeat leetic.

Does the game keep going if SK is activated? I would assume that would count as a LMS type of thing then

#2903

Scotty wrote:Well I sure hope y'all are right about nijuu or else she is a warrior who can defeat leetic.

The front page says the three kingdoms need the Nanman, the YT, and Dong Zhuo dead, so I think it keeps going until they are all eliminated.

And I do want to point out that we're all kind of taking it for granted that leetic is the last YT (which is most likely), but until that's proven to be the case I don't think we should assume it to be true.

#2904

Well, it seems like I'm still at the same place I was before regarding my votes. I'd like best to vote leetic & Bass, but it looks like it's leaning more towards leetic & ninja. I don't think that's horrible, and that's probably where I'll vote, because it looks like that's where the majority is going to fall. (And I'd rather the majority control the voting, rather than 1 of the suspects.)

I feel like I now at least find ninja more of a possibility as the SK after some discussion, I just don't feel sure. But I suppose that's the general nature of a mafia game.

I've also been thinking a lot about what might happen if/when the SK does get activated. I think the best thing will be to watch for any strange shenanigans and then follow where they go. I think at this point in the game, there are still a few treasure bearers out there, and I can only hope that some civs have protections, or something else that might help us figure out who the SK is, if they happen to target the right the player.

#2907

Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and vote in the next hour or so. Looks like it'll be L & N for me too.

#2908

Done.

#2909

Okey dokey. It is what it is, I'm voting now too. Leetic & ninja/blooper and then crossing my fingers for a most excellent outcome!

#2910

Y'all are so, so wrong about me. Whatevs.

#2911

With these multiple votes, does anyone else choose their candidates, hit submit, and then have a half second heart attack while the votes are going through, like maybe you accidentally clicked the wrong person?

I am such a nerd.

~Linki - if that is the case, then please accept my sincerest apologies.

I did that a few days ago

#2913

I would just like to point out before the thread is locked and full of terrors, that Boomslang did a drive by vote for leetic and Simon without posting an explanation or comments on today.

Just putting that out there.

#2914

Who is a threat to the Han? Appoint two for the duel.

The Duel of the Fifteenth Day

nijuukyugou defeated leetic in a duel after one bout.
leetic was Zhang Jiao.
You have 23 hours to submit your PMs.

Day 15: Dong Zhuo is Displeased

懥

Dong Zhuo had seen enough of the chaos, and with the Yellow Turbans banished or destroyed, he took up leadership and began to mark people for death.

He determined that one of the prefects, who had great standing among the people, needed to die. So he had a bodyguard call Scot Ti in to him.

Scot Ti was enamored to have an audience with Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo didn’t wait to hear him. He ordered him executed.

"That is what I think of these pretentious fools," he said.

Scotty has been killed by Dong Zhuo.
It is now Day 15. You have 48 hours and two votes to find a threat to the Han!

#2917

"This messenger has nothing to share that they would neglect to speak of in person. Let us scrutinise the motivations of those that opposed the Yellow Turbans this day, and we will surely find our final foe."

#2918

Scotty!!!

I will do everything in my power to avenge you. I hate to see you go.

And voting-wise:

WE MUST NOT VOTE NINJA/BLOOPER AGAIN! I must be emphatic here. We must look elsewhere.

I was really hoping we wouldn't get a NK from the DingDong, but here we are. I feel VERY strongly that Bass should be 1 of our options today. For the other option, my POV is that Boom or DF are our best choices. I would lean towards Boom, personally, because he did yet another drive by vote.

Best choices for today: Bass, Boom, DF

I prefer: Bass & Boom

Very clever messenger! I see that Bass, Boom and DF (my Final Three™) all voted leetic yesterday. Scotty pointed out (with his legacy post, which we didn't even know it would be yet) that Boom did a complete and total drive by vote again (so no motivations/reasons posted).

I'm happy to look at Bass and DF's votes also.

Maybe it's also good to imagine who would be most likely to kill Scotty first?

#2920

I'll follow you to the grave, indiglo.

This spirit feels VERY strongly that the clever fish must NOT be one of our options today. I will support your defense of the ninja warrior if that is what you believe in. I ask that you support me in favor of the clever fish. The striding one is not to be attacked either. Nor will seek the destruction of the confused little girl or yourself, bearer of jars.

We can eliminate many possible evils if we work together. We must not vote for the clever fish. I will not vote for the ninja warrior. We must work together. There are other options.

Phoebe Buffay · #2922

I will stay my voting hand for now. My immediate desire is to destroy DFaraday and Boomslang though.

#2923

Yes Zou, I'm willing to be a team player here. I do hope I have shown that, and I thank you also for your willingness to do so. I am trying very hard to be super stubborn this game

and will do my best to continue. It is very, very hard for me to let go of my suspicion of the clever fish. As you know it has been plaguing me for a number of days now. I will do my best to tamp that down for yet another day, if that is what you need.

I do think it is most likely Boom that we need to defeat, and I do feel that it is less likely to be DFaraday, but I could be wrong (though, just ask Dex, that hardly EVER happens

). Yes, let's work together and figure this out.

I would vote with you again today, Zou, as I did yesterday, with a bit of reluctance and hesitation.

I am feeling some super teamwork happening here, and I am loving it! Let's all hold hands and sing Kumbaya, and then figure out who to mercilessly force into a duel to the death.

Also, can I just say, I would love to get my little title under my name changed to "The Bearer Of Jars".

I think Scotty had the same suspicions, and I agree we should pay attention to that.

Good catch Mata! I had totally forgotten about that. See how our beloved Scotty speaks to us from beyond the grave? And continues to be a team player?
