**FINISHED** Sanmatsu-mura - Town wins

[aage]

unvote vote Tailzo Gunshin
I don't think Edoc is scum with him dodging the blade and all. At the moment it does seem more likely that Tails is that 3rd party vig you talked about. And even if he isn't, he can't do much without a blade, so if he's not scum/3rd party he simply screwed up his role...

[aage]

Oh, wait. red, righ?
unvote vote Tailzo Gunshin

[Haggis_McMutton]

That's a lynch

The meeting now having commenced, the group in favour of Tailzo's death is more vocal than ever. "He attacked an innocent man simply for expressing his views, the fact that he is still breathing is an insult to us all" and similar arguments were heard. The few remaining members of the village who still had doubts seemed to waiver, they asked Tailzo to explain, and explain soon if he values his life.

Tailzo, still kneeling didn't have much to say, he muttered something about his honour and how Edoku had disrespected him. At this point Aagetamori, who had generally been against Tailzo's death until this point frowns, then he steps up and says: "If you are indeed a ronin, then it is impossible for Edoku to disrespect you, since you have no honour and your death would be fair retribution not only for your actions here, but also for your cowardice. If however you lied to us about being a ronin ... well ... need i say more ?"

Tailzo momentarily looks up, a fire burning in his eyes, but then he bows his head again. "Well then, are we in agreement?" the head samurai asks. Everyone nods. "Very well then". The samurai turns to Tailzo: "Disgraced as you may be, you were once a samurai, and therefore you may have a samurai's death if you so wish. Perhaps it will somewhat attenuate the dishonour you have brought to your family".

Tailzo once again looks up, relief showing on his face, he nods. Aagetamori wavers for a second, then steps up: "I shall be his kaikashukin". Tailzo nods again, takes off his coat and extends his hands, in which his tanto is placed. He prepares himself, looks in the distance for a moment and then silently plunges the sword in his abdomen slicing from left to right, obviously struggling with the pain, but still without a word he then removes the blade and stabs himself again, above the initial cut and tries to repeat the slicing motion, but his strength seems to have left him. Obviously having great difficulty in keeping silent he extends his neck at which point Aagetamori Yabu unleashes an almost too powerful blow of the sword and decapitates Tailzo in an instant. Yabu himself seems slightly surprised by this and while this is not exactly how the ritual of seppuku is supposed to go, considering the circumstances it seems acceptable.

The men dispersed, and then the body was taken, only a trail of blood matching the one made by the child only hours earlier is left of Tailzo Gunshin.

Night 1 go

[ga7]

Very nice write up

[TA1LGUNN3R]

Damn! Well I guess I mucked that up.

I apologize to all, with an extra special apology to Edoku.

When the game finishes, I want to read everyone's stories, so post them here. Mine was pretty awesome, and I think the others will be as well.



-Tailzo

[Victor Sullivan]

Very nice write up

I second that! (Remember your out-of-character italics, guys)

[Haggis_McMutton]

Thanks, *bows*

On a different note, I like the pace we've got going for the last few pages here, a "Small & Crazy NV game" is supposed to be fast.
So come on you lazy buggers, get your night actions in, let's do this in record time

[Haggis_McMutton]

The sun comes up and it's a new day. All is not well however in Sanmatsu-mura. Despite the death of Tailzo, no one feels really safe and this fact can be easily noticed in the everyday actions and interactions of the people. There seem to be significantly less children outside for instance.

One by one the people of Sanmatsu-mura wake up and go about their morning routines. Eventually the time comes for the town meeting to re-commence. Here however it becomes evident that someone is missing, it is Edoku.

Suddenly worried that his wound might have re-opened you all rush to his abode. The door seems to still be locked, though you have little difficulty breaking it down. Once inside your suspicions are confirmed, his wound had indeed reopened, but that was the least of his concerns.

Edoku lay next to his bed, sheathed sword in hand and a look of grim determination on what is left of his face. I say what is left of his face because he is a bloody mess. It is impossible to count correctly but there must have been at least a half dozen, maybe even a dozen stab wounds all over his body, the most prominent one being directly into his eye socket. There is no way a fight this brutal was done without waking anyone up, but then how? Perhaps he was stopped from shouting somehow, or perhaps he was killed quickly and the majority of the wound done posthumously, it is impossible to tell.

Upon closer inspection you notice a stab mark in the bed, one that didn't hit it's target. This and Edoku's reopened wound leads you to believe that he must have posed some resistance, obviously not sufficient though. "If only he hadn't been injured during the day, perhaps he would have had a chance" someone remarks. "Eh, destiny's destiny" the response invariably comes.

You hover in Edoku's house for a moment longer, then, one by one you exit and go towards the meeting place.

Day 2 go

[edocsil]

Fk it all, killed twice in 24 hrs? gg

[ga7]

Sadly it was to be expected since the daykill scene and his behaviour towards Tailzo Gunshin made it pretty clear Edoku Shin was in fact a honorable samurai ready to kill any threats to the town.

In other news, as the Head Samurai and Cop I investigated Aagetamori Yabu and found him to be acting against the interests of town. I do NOT want to see any votes yet though as I need to see what he has to say and how it will correlate with my investigation.

[aage]

Before we move on to investigations, I really would like to know the roles of the two dead guys. There's no rule that says we can't know their roles. I for one really would like to know the Ronin's alignment.

[ga7]

Teme baka ja nai ka?
It obviously doesn't work that way, but what does it matter? Either he was scum, third party or town. Seeing how you ridiculously defended him all along the previous day "woah vig is so important I hope no one NKs you!!!" and only finished him when it was clear the consensus had been reached makes me think either he was scum with you or you knew he wasn't on your side and used him to paint you town, which would explain why you're now in a pickle since his alignment wasn't revealed upon death.
But seriously, I cop investigate you, get scum, and that's all you're pondering about? Seems my result is accurate.

[aage]

I was assuming both roles would be revealed at the start of day 2. Since they weren't I really would like to know them first. Of course you'll be thinking I want to paint a town picture, and I really don't mind you thinking that, so please continue. I just want to know if Tailgunner was the day vig or not.

As on the bit where you want me to respond, I'll respond. Once those roles are out in the open...

[ga7]

I can tell you right now, it won't happen, so cut to the chase.

[aage]

I'm wondering on it because I want to know a bit more before throwing around accusations. You say you've investigated me and you got scum. That's very awesome and all, but it also means that if there's 2 mafia they'd only need 1 more death to win. Their best shot would be to be the first to claim cop and accuse someone.
The reason I'm asking for role details is because I want to know if there's a dead cop among them.

[ga7]

Well I'm glad you make my job easier being such an obvious scum. I'm the Head Samurai and you have no way out, you scoundrel.

Please prod everyone?

[aage]

I'm the Head Samurai

Says you. The fact that you haven't even voted yet makes it pretty clear to me that you're still not sure about how many people are convinced by your act. I think I'll just vote Gatsu Shinichi. I really had expected better play from you.

[aage]

Sigh, I hate those rules that says "redplx" cause I always forget...
vote gatsu shinichi

[ga7]

I didn't vote because even though you're the obvious scum now with your poor stalling act instead of just coming up with a fakeclaim like any decent scum would do, I need everyone to post at least once before the lynch occurs.

As far as I know a cop would just be saying "he's scum *vote him*". You're telling me you haven't because you want everyone to post? lmao, seriously. Quoting your original post:

I do NOT want to see any votes yet though as I need to see what he has to say and how it will correlate with my investigation.

I've posted 5 times since this request. And you're still not doing anything. I don't see why my behavior should change anything about your investigation. Because you did investigate, right? And you say I'm scum? So why are you still not voting? I see three reasons: you're either not the cop and trying to put me to some sort of test, in which case you'd be pretty stupid, and since you aren't I disregard that option; or you factually are the cop and doing a bad job at claiming, and since you're not a bad player I also disregard that option; or either you're scum that's trying to convince the rest into your innocence and my guilt, and now you're backing up because no-one posts.

Which one is it according to you?

[Victor Sullivan]

Vote aage. I have no reason to believe ga7 is lying. Aage seems like complete scum to me, just from his posts.

-Sullimoto

Dude, I obviously don't need you to post now, I need the other players to post before the lynch
Considering only Sullimoto-san just posted so far we're quite far from the count, and I absolutely do not want the lynch to happen before Lala-chan & Kenta post (although for this last one I feel it's a lost cause, but if anyone doesn't post within the next two days I think they should just be replaced).

[Haggis_McMutton]

Yeah, just got back.

I'll send a prod. And it's the last chance for Kenta.

Votes:
Gatsu Shinichi - 1 (Aagetamori Yabu)

[aage]

Victor, I suppose you have to use my japanese name lol.

[lalaland]

ahhhh this is me responding to the prod... sorry guys I'm here!

we should get a claim out of aage before we lynch I suppose, although gatsu seems like he has a pretty definitive result... so i don't understand why he hasn't placed a vote?

but vote Aagetamori Yabu because unless he has a really good explanation for this, or somebody counterclaims cop, i'm very inclined to believe. I do not believe we have lost our cop already.
