first post.

seems alot like ronin mafia...

- Battlefield Status -

Dynami is under attack by: Shamarah (1)
Sylandra is under attack by: Diamondais (1)
Caerulo is under attack by: Ssaliss (1)

With 22 armies on the field, it will require 12 to overwhelm and defeat an opposing general!

Well, it seems my army is still big enough to attack.

WITHDRAW FORCES FROM CAERULO

Ok, next questions so.

- Duels are consensual, but are they publically declared (and if so, how do you start one?), or all done behind 'the GM's curtain'?
- Seeming like what happened Ssaliss was confirmed as an ambush, rather than duel. Day ability of the anti-Han faction which does ???

There is no set syntax for starting a duel. Simply challenge another player to a duel. Be creative with it if you like.

Mod Edit: I suggest liberal use of the word 'rebel' for maximum ROTK genuinity.

Yes, I know it was in the novel and it came up in history class. I was curious if it had significance in this game.




Sounds fun. Reminds me of the day duels in the Touhou mafia game.

I think the faction thing is going to boil down largely to luck. If anyone says they are one of the factions or are a anti-han then they will have 3/4ths of the players turn against them on the spot.

Alright, since I had no idea about the theme. I did a little research. I think I found out what happened to Ssissy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhang_Liang_(Yellow_Turban)

In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that he went to the altar, and caused a rock attack against imperial forces.


That would make a lot of sense.

So we might have Zhang Liang among us, and he used his ability on Ssaliss. That or it's a day-theme thing that gets accompanied by some affect.

I'm going to say yes, it was more likely than not Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was one of the leaders of the Yellow Turbans, and we KNOW that they are here. The three brothers very likely match up to what would be three scum (Zhang Liang, Zhang Jue, and Zhang Bao, according to Wikipedia).

With all this in mind, I'm going to

ORDER ARMY TO ATTACK XIKUE

When presented with evidence that this was not likely to be a random occurrence, Xikue still argued that the action might have been random. And this is day 1. Might as well.

What kind of evidence are you talking about, Casilu? I must've missed it somewhere. All I see are theories on whether or not it was a random thing or not, and if it affected me in any way.

The three Yellow Turban rebellion leaders were powerful sorcerers in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. According to the article, it is said that Zhang Liang could make rocks attack his enemies.

Yeah, I got that part, but that's not really what I would call evidence... At least I didn't miss anything.

To elaborate: They could certainly have such a power, I'm definitely not disputing that. It's just that it was the very first thing that happened during the day, which makes me think that it was a random thing.

It could, of course, also be an ability of the rebels that was used as soon as possible to disguise it as a random occurrence.

Even if it was not random, I'm not really sure it's enough of a reason to necessarily say that Xikue was trying to cover anything up. We still have very little idea what actually happened. If I were to guess, it was an ability that decreases the number of votes required to lynch Ssaliss.

So okay, what I'm getting from this is that either 1) real historical events come into play here or 2) someone used a day skill?

Wha. ORDER ARMY TO ATTACK CASILU

I didn't say it was random. If it's an effect associated with the day setting/event/campaign, it'd hardly be random. I think it's good that Casilu researched and came up with possibilities, but looking at the timestamp of Tekora's posts, I'm leaning towards 1) real historical events come into play here.

Or 3) Semi-random occurrences. But yeah, that seems to be the only options, unless you've got any other ideas? Personally I'm going for #3. If it were real events that followed the history books, it'd be a bit too easy (that is, if they follow the history perfectly) since it'd mean the targets would be quickly confirmed as either rebels or imperial troops, or even down to certain factions/people.

Then again, that might be the point. Those with better knowledge as to the histories will come out on top, and it'd be a way to find out who people are. Hrm.

Nice OMGUS there. But how about we settle this like men?



I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL. YOU REBEL SWINE.

Ooh, been waiting for a duel to happen. This'll be interesting.
