Romance of the Three Kingdoms [ENDGAME]

#2751

If you guys try to lynch me I cannot be held accountable for my actions. I might just kill someone in combat again. Do you really want to take that chance?

#2752

I am a fucking literal ninja.

#2753

Outed myself as a baddie how? Like who outs themselves as a baddie. The rationale on display is some of the worst I have ever encountered. Like I am fairly sure if I was observing from the other side I would be smart enough to know what I was doing but alas I guess I am just smarter than the average civ.

#2754

"If I were to establish a civilian core, I would invite indiglo and Quin."

#2755

I could be way off base, but I'm getting the impression that Mac is Lu Bu. The non-Mafia aligned comment, how he put forth a theory on Lu Bu (and people do like to talk about their own roles), plus the fact that he beat a warrior yesterday and is confident about dueling again. If that's the case, I wouldn't be opposed to voting that way again.

On a side note, assuming there were no voting shenanigans yesterday, nobody who voted Bullz can be Wu.

I'm pretty sure Mac is Nan. We should still vote there, and simply ignore his protestations (as Zou put it).

On the side note, I looked into that possibility as well. There was no other 2nd place contender close enough to make a call about who is Wu that voted Bullz. Bullz had 8 votes total, and the next closest opponent was Ninja/Blooper with only 2 votes. So, some of those 8 could definitely have been Wu. But I like where your mind is at.

#2757

PS - Also, Mac did not beat a Warrior yesterday. Bullz was a "Leader" class. (I just double checked my notes.) They are between Warriors and Strategists in dueling prowess.

MacDougall and leetic shall be destroyed. I will listen to your protestations now.

Any reason in particular you want to go for leetic over Bass?

Also, who is "the one who strides"? (Sorry if I'm being dense.)

I'm dumb. For some reason I was thinking of it as a tie situation in the lynch, which is weird because this game has been going for so long. Forget my comment about the Wu then. And forget my comment about Bullz being a Warrior, I don't know where my head was at when I was posting earlier.

I assume the one who strides is Aragorn, otherwise known as Strider.

#2760

Me Nan? That's unpossible.

Pretty sure that I am Nan huh. I think you are Pop then. Prune Tracey.

#2762

So nobody is gonna post until deadline approaches and they will just come in and throw a vote my way. Phooey.

Oh wise spirit, the clever fish had won 2 previous duels (with warriors) with relative ease, in the first bout, I might add. I was relying on the same thing happening between him and Mac. B_T_C is a Good bet in a duel, based on what has already happened.

Ah, thank you for the clarification on Aragorn. This is my first time meeting him, so I don't yet know his other monikers. That's how I found out who Blooper was in a game. You crazy kids and your crazy nicknames.

#2765

Send the finest warriors to my door. I will turn them all away. Even at my age I could cut through you all like a hot knife through butter.

Shouting 'I'm not bad, all of you are' is not a great way to spark discussion. Who is a better lynch than you are, right now? Why?

As for the idea of putting Bass up again because he'll likely win his duel - I don't support it. I'd support it if we were putting him up with the conclusion that he's bad, but I'm hesitating on that front. I'd rather put up leetic because I do believe in the inactive YT/Dong Zhuo idea (this also half-applies to nijuu, she's posting but extremely sporadically so it doesn't really feel like she's attentive to the game)

#2767

In saying that, Bass had some inactive spurts as well, but I'll need to look into timelines if I'm going to put his name up again.

Your perspective is understood, striding one. Be wary though, for now we are few. Our villages are reduced to a barren state, only a small number of brave men remain to stand against those who would destroy us. To endanger them further when there is another way would be unwise.

Fortune has favored the clever fish so far, but fortune may turn without warning if it is tested. Let us pit our enemies against each other. MacDougall does not know what it is to be at peace, and we must show him. He of the house leetic looks to possess a wardrobe of much yellow. The clever fish is not suspicious to this spirit. I would hear your protestations, children, if you would have them.

The confused little girl is of a noble upbringing. We will trust in her insight, though always understanding her imperfections. This is our way.

Sorry guys I'm just not up for this game at all. I'm having some serious personal issues right now. I'll keep playing on but I can't really work up the energy to do much.

I meant the character Aragorn is introduced as Strider in Lord of the Rings.

Why does Leetic appear yellow to you? I saw where he posted twice, and that he voted INH and Caps for prefect. I am not seeing the yellow connection.

He of the house leetic has stayed in silence and reclusion for a full moon's journey. Those who wear yellow are gone from us in voice but perhaps not in body. I do not believe their light has been snuffed.

Sorry to hear that Mac! And no worries! Hope things get better for you, sometimes life just likes to see how much you can take, I think.

#2775

I don't particularly see the leetic/yellow connection either. I'm happy to do a read there though, and get more input from others too.

@Zou - I have a couple of questions, only answer if you can. Do you have win conditions? Are they the same win conditions you had when you were alive?

I ask because I am developing a theory about Bass's role. I feel like it wouldn't hurt civs to have Bass gone, but I also feel like he isn't our biggest adversary. And I'm wondering if Zou is perhaps related to him in some way. In which case, I have no objection to working together to oust the baddies.

Tin foil hats, anyone?

#2776

An observation.

The Yellow Turbans have killed Night 2, 4 and 6. It's very likely that they only had the power to kill once every 2 nights.

Phoebe Buffay · #2777

We must remember the teachings of wise Epignosis. His word is truth.

To perceive the yellow tint in the spirit aura of the house leetic does not require reading his scrolls. They are few and brief. One must only understand that they who wear the yellow turbans are absent from our story, but not surely passed to the spirit world. The one called leetic is the only remaining soul whose silence is suitable to the yellow turban tradition of inaction and absence. If he is not of their kin, then they have no living kin; or their surviving soul is deliberate in his or her refusal to act under the cover of night.

indiglo wrote:@Zou - I have a couple of questions, only answer if you can. Do you have win conditions? Are they the same win conditions you had when you were alive?

Your questions will be answered in the next life, child. I cannot impart such knowledge to you. I hope you will judge me for what words I speak and none else.

I only judge the clever fish for his role in our story. I welcome dissenters to express themselves, for I am not a spirit without flaw. I do not believe he carries the scent of an evil family, as I similarly do not believe you carry such a scent.

#2780

@ Quin

Fair enough, my spirit brother. I feel no nefarious intent from you, and I appreciate your thoughts regarding leetic. I remember Scotty (I think?) pointing him out as a good option last day phase as well. Speaking of which... I wonder if Scotty is busy, or silenced again.

#2781

I think Zuo Ci's analysis of leetic is spot-on. If we remove the last of the completely inactives, we can close the book on that entire line of reasoning for the identity of the YTs. I'll be placing a vote there today.

As for my other vote, I feel like a lot of my suspects are still in the poll. Blooper, Simon, Bass... Mac's desperation and rapid posting read as genuine to me; I can't see a baddie drawing all that attention to himself, especially in a game where inactives have gotten to coast so easily. Which leads me to question indiglo for continuing to jump down his throat. Will do some reading of that tomorrow.

#2782

I'll definitely be voting leetic. My other vote will likely be either Mac or nijuu. Simon is a maybe.

#2785

#2786

I've got a busy day today, and will likely not be around for EoD. I am going to go ahead and start off the voting.

I'm voting Mac and Leetic.

Quin, I am happy to vote leetic with you and Zou, I hope you will chose to also vote Mac with us. I do think it is important at this point in the game to try to stick together the best we can.

Mac, at this point in the game, do you have any suspicions you want to mention? I've reread you, but you haven't said anything lately about whether anyone/thing is pinging you. I'd like to hear your thoughts about others before I vote, if you have time, thanks.

#2788

I am not really sure. All the people I had suspicion of are gone.

Phoebe Buffay · #2789

It is done. This spirit cannot linger through the evening.

#2790

I think I'll trust Zuo Ci's judgement here and go with leetic and Mac. If either of them flips town then at least we'll know where to go from tomorrow.

#2791

Just your friendly, neighborhood cheerleader, checking in one last time!

Solidarity and crossed fingers will help us through this lynch!

#2792

Not sure if we are being led to victory or led astray, but I have no intuitive leads of my own to follow, so Mac and Leetic will do.

#2793

Leetic and indiglo. Has a nice ring to it.

#2794

My inidglo read went nowhere, and it looks like I'm not gonna stop the Mac train at this point. So, leetic and a continuing vote on Blooper.

#2795

Going leetic and Mac as well. Mac's had close to 100 opportunities to try and sway peoples opinions on his alignment, it is unfortunate he did not take one.

#2796

Me and Zuo Ci, because I want to beat up a Chinese guy.

#2797

I guess it doesn't matter now anyway, but I'm sticking with Mac and Ninja.

Not really. Simon has been so absent and non-contributory that I don't think it would be a stretch at all if he's not sending in kills. And given how late Aragorn and Indiglo subbed in, if they were YT it would certainly be wise not to submit kills for the time being.

#2799

Ooh look, I made it, but it's still good I already voted. Cuz I think the poll is closed.

@ DF - I am getting civ vibes off both Simon and Aragorn, fwiw. But I agree, it would be pretty dumb for someone to sub in for a Yellow at this point and start sending in kills. That's one reason I think Epi will leave that slot alone, with no replacement. JMO though, I have nothing to back that up.

If Mac beats leetic, I hope leetic is another baddie. Fingers crossed!

#2800

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