ORDER ARMY TO ATTACK PHOEBUS.

I've still got my eye on Solanis, though, for that post re: Wu majority. It just seems manipulative to me.
Tekora2011-03-15 12:33:44
That's a lynch.
Tekora2011-03-15 12:34:37
Even after driving off Solanis, Phoebus finds herself still beset on all sides by enemies. They gather and surround her all too quickly. Knowing her time is done, she deigns to commit suicide than meet her fate at the end of one of the opposing generals' blades...

QUOTE
Phoebus was Dong Zhuo - The Tyrant of Luoyang!



You are Dong Zhuo, the heartless despot that subjugated the Han Court and committed countless atrocities against the land as you held the child Emperor Xian as a hostage and figurehead to justify your power as Prime Minister. When the warlords of the Central Plains united to take a stand against you, you fled the Capital City of Luoyang, looting the temples and tombs and burning the city to the ground before you left and took up residence in the western capital of Chang An. Eventually, your fall would come at the hands of the one who facilitated your rise, as your adopted son Lu Bu slayed you in the course of his own rise to power.

Royal Decree - During the day, you may send me a PM with the message 'ISSUE DECREE TO '. I will then deliver your decree to your intended target in the thread and they will be forced to follow its command as they are ordered into a suicidal attack against the northern tribes. You may do this once every two days.

You win when Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei are all dead and there are no other obstacles to impede your dominance.

So, uh... Is that night, or game done?

The Battle of Yi Ling marked the beginning of the decline of the Shu Kingdom, as a brilliant strategy by the Wu strategists unleashed a massive fire attack against the Shu Army and forcibly ended the Shu invasion of the Jing Territory.

---------------------------------------------------------------

As time goes on and the heroes of the day and age begin to fall, either in battle or to old age, it falls to the latter generation to continue their Fathers' legacies, but for many, the shoes are simply too much to fill...

Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the Kingdom of Wei, where after the death of Cao Cao, his heirs, Cao Pi and Cao Rui manage to guide Wei through the turbulence of the age, but a hidden threat, long unseen, sits hiding in plain view...

After the death of Cao Rui, Sima Yi, the Great Strategist of Wei, puts in motion a plan to usurp the authority of the Cao Family. It is accomplished easily enough, for Cao Rui's son and current Wei Emperor, Cao Huan, is weak and abdicates easily. Sima Yi himself lives just long enough to see his aspirations come to fruition as the Sima family ascends itself upon the throne in 263, establishing the Jin Dynasty.

After the fall of Wei, the armies of Jin focus their efforts upon the western lands of Shu. Led by the rival generals Deng Ai and Zhong Hui and their brilliant tactics, the Jin forces overwhelm Shu in a matter of less than a year, capturing the capital of Cheng Du and forcing the foolish Emperor Liu Chan into abdication.

The Kingdom of Wu is the last to fall to the might of the Jin, having managed to hold out against their assaults for many years since the death of Sun Quan in 252. Eventually, they too fall victim to internal decay and stagnation, and in 280 AD, the last Wu emperor, Sun Hao, surrendered to Jin and brought the age of the Three Kingdoms to an end...

------------------------------

Sima Yi wins.


Game details will be posted shortly.

The Rebel Factions

QUOTE
Xikue was Lu Bu - The Flying General



You are Lu Bu, the greatest warrior of the Three Kingdoms era. Your strength is unmatched and your threats are few. Will any be able to stop you from rising to glory as you cut a bloody swathe through the Three Kingdoms?

Peerless General - During the night, you may choose an opposing general to challenge to a duel. However, unlike a duel conducted during the day, this duel will result in no information for the Kingdoms and the person you challenge will be killed without fail. (This is effectively a nightkill.)

DO NOT PURSUE LU BU - The wisened generals of the age know better than to challenge you. This translates to an immunity to daykills and nightkills, and it will require at least a two-thirds majority to lynch you.

You win when Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei are all dead and there are no other obstacles to impede your dominance.


QUOTE
Phoebus was Dong Zhuo - The Tyrant of Luoyang

Royal Decree - During the day, you may send me a PM with the message 'ISSUE DECREE TO '.

You may do this once every two days.

Casilu was Zhang Jiao - The Sage of Heaven



You are Zhang Jiao. Once a simple scholar, you visited the Southern Hermit one day and received an ancient tome called 'The Way of Peace'. With the power within, you learned to harness the magics of Heaven and now stand poised to unite the whole of China under the glory of the Yellow Turbans!

Storm - During the day or night, you may PM me with the phrase 'HEAVEN, HEAR MY CALL!'. You will summon a great storm that will make any special actions impossible for the reminder of that period. You may use this ability 3 times.

Brainwash - Using the power of the Way of Peace, at night, you may choose an opposing general to influence and bring to your side as a supporter of the Yellow Turbans.

You win when the followers of the Yellow Turban outnumber all other Kingdoms combined.

You are Meng Huo, Head Chieftain of the Southern Tribes of the Nanman. You're tired of the constant incursions of the northern kingdoms and now you've risen up in revolt!

Elephants - During the night, you may choose a general to assault with your Elephant Cavalry. They will be so overwhelmed that they will be unable to act in any way the following day, but they will return to action the night after.

You win if you survive until the end of the game.

... Seriously, Llandros? The first thing you do, before anyone has posted even once, was to try to kill me?
Unknown2011-03-15 14:43:11
Interestingly, this Mafia game adheres to the ending of the novel. laugh.gif

And I actually managed to kill someone! I was rather frustrated at that point, and just used my fire trap at a random target. laugh.gif

And I really did misread Kalayena's message: I actually missed out the whole paragraph about it being an intercepted message from Wei. doh.gif
Unknown2011-03-15 14:59:22
I came so close to winning! If STUPID USHAARA hadn't gone and been a STUPID BODYGUARD! Blar! Immediately after that happened, I pretty much went "awww maaaan, that would have been the best guess ever..." And then the timing would have worked out that I could kill Sun Quan today, and be victorious. But alas.

Also, lols at me killing the cult leader on the first day. Woopsie doodles.

It was actually that I tend to think of Casilu as a pretty dangerous player, so I figured I'd just take her out on day one and stir things up a little. Little did I know I was removing a source of conflict from the game. Derp.

Yeah, Phoebus definitely gets the runner-up prize.

And Wu gets the Bronze.
