Pretty much what Shamarah said.

I'm going to ORDER ARMY ATTACK KALANEYA since I have nothing better to go on and I don't remember reading anything about her role.
Arix2011-03-06 06:50:44
Not to be contrary Rika, but I would like to point something out: Caerulo is listed as still alive in the game. He has made 6 posts, the last of which was awhile ago. Having said that, I am going to ORDER ARMY TO ATTACK CAERULO

Here are the active people, and what we know about them (unless I missed a reveal somewhere):

1: Llesvelt - Zhang Liao - Wei
2: Arix - Part of one of the three factions, but that is all I will say. If he wants his role to be known, it is up to him.
3: Solanis - ???
4: Rika - Most likely Wei, possibly Cao Cao.
5: Ileein - ???
6: Xikue - ???, although not Lu Bu (was defeated by Razenth)
7: Caerulo - ???
11: Dynami - ???
19: Ssaliss - Huang Zhong - Shu
20: Kalaneya - ???
21: Phoebus - ???
22: Shamarah - ???

Which means that right now, we have seven completely unknowns. In order to start lowering that number, I'll just randomly duel someone and see what happens. And the random wheel stops on... Phoebus.

Phoebus! Face me on the field of battle, so that I can have a closer look at you!

I'd rather not waste today's duel on something I can just tell you myself, if you really want me to. I sorta wanted to keep what kingdom I'm in a secret though! But if that ship's sailed, I'll tell you.

Also you kinda put an arrow through a dude in one of your duels in a display of elderly badassery so I'm not exactly jumping at the chance to go toe-to-toe with you here, man. I like being not dead.
Ssaliss2011-03-06 11:59:39
The problem with you telling us is that it isn't supported in any way. If we duel, we'll either know that you're not Lu Bu (if I beat you) or that you're a potential candidate for being Lu Bu (if you beat me). Either way, we've got Arix to take care of the possibility of you (or me) dying (and if Arix isn't sure death is "reversable", he could always ask Tekora about it).

How are the identities of most of the people here supported in any way to begin with? suspicious.gif Seriously, if you want me to claim, you can just ask! And also, if I was Lu Bu, I don't think I'd be scared of dueling. sad.gif
Ssaliss2011-03-06 12:20:04
Most of the identities I posted above have been verified in some way, actually (aside from Llesvelt). My arrows, Rika being defended by Ushaara (as well as being roleblocked by Vendetta wen Lu Bu killed someone), I know exactly who Arix is, Xikue being defeated by Razenth... There's also Vendetta being a roleblocker, but that doesn't point any fingers towards anyone, so I didn't include that. I'm extremely confident that Lu Bu is one of the seven unknowns, and Dong Zhou is among them or is Xikue. If you want to claim, sure, but at this point I won't take anything at face value.

Although part of me want to just say "screw this inter-kingdom rivalry and just mass-claim", but that'll create problems further on. Plus, given the number of roles, there are way too many roles in RTK to actually ensure that claims are truthful.

I'll remain mysterious then. wink.gif I have my reasons.
Ssaliss2011-03-06 12:59:01
I'm also surprised it hasn't come up yet, but...

"After careful consideration and no small amount of posturing, the forces of Wu and Shu ally themselves in order to face the superior military might of the Wei Army." Does that mean Shu and Wu win together now?
Ileein2011-03-06 13:16:01
I'm not sure. I'd considered it, but it might just be flavor.

I don't think so. Cao Wei's taken more hits than Wu in our game. I think it's historical flavour
Unknown2011-03-06 13:58:53
I highly doubt Shu and Wu has combined together. In the novel, they separate right after the Battle of Chi Bi (Red Cliff).

As for my inactivity, I must apologize, because before this, it was far too confusing and I had nothing else to add to the conversation besides what was already mentioned. Believe me, I've read the entire thread multiple times and came up with nothing much.

Although, I believe I have figured out Arix's role and why Ssaliss would refrain from revealing it. Anyone else has any objections to me revealing it, or would you rather I let Arix himself reveal?
Ssaliss2011-03-06 14:48:53
Just to be clear ahead of time, I won't say if you're right or wrong about his role.
Kalaneya2011-03-06 15:02:48
I, for one, would like to know. I can't figure it out, but if you can point me in a direction of a source where I could figure it out, I'd try.

There weren't two kills last night either. Did anyone roleblock?

Does this mean you decline the duel?
Llesvelt2011-03-06 18:38:53
I...

Have nothing to add. Except the fact that I am still alive and active.

I'd say do it. We need something to ward off stagnancy.
Arix2011-03-06 21:20:30
You'll probably be wrong, but if you are I'll claim after I get back from gaming later. And if you're right I'll confirm it

Yes, I respectfully decline from accepting the duel. I have nothing to prove and would rather watch other people's duels from a safe distance away.
