Wait... what did you call?
I can't believe that the one damn day I was actually attacked is when my busdrive failed.
*ugh*
Since others have been putting up the boards of their clans, here's the Crane clan boards
Oh, and if you're reading this Paranoia833: Ahahahahah! You died! Filthy Scorpion! Serves you right for lowering the honor of Jdarksun and Daniant and screwing up my honor ups! I was Doji Mitsu, the Crane you kept throwing off his game in the narrations! Seriously though, good game. Made my role interesting.
Oh! I'd really want in. But school will be starting up in a couple of weeks. Maybe I can make time for it.
I did get a kick out of the fact that you two targeted the same person just about every night.
It was hilarious.

It was fun. It's unfortunate that there weren't more roles concerned with raising or lowering honor. I've only skimmed the other clans' boards but most seem to have dismissed honor as a way to get rid of someone. I know I was really worried for a bit. The other person who could raise honor was killed the first night and I knew that the Scorpion still had both of their honor lowerers alive so I realized I was fighting a losing battle keeping Daniant and Jdarksun alive. Then one of them died and things got easier.
Indeed, although part of the reason that honor wasn't really that important in the end was because the people who lowered honor seemed to only go after those with 3 or more honor. Or they would hit someone's honor for a night and then never again. The crab were great targets to lower honor on. The scorpion were easy to take out with honor, but it required allying with a few of the other honor lowerers out there (like the otomo, or the mantis).
In the end, I probably started people off with too much honor. It should have been lower, but i rounded up instead of down (since every school in the game starts with X.5). If I'd rounded down, then everyone would have been one lower, and honor would have become more deadly.

Hurray! For I have seen the light and its non-blood-speaking ways.
Well blood speakers were a bad joke. Started around 13% of people, not even a group kill (a 40% and another given only later in following days), easy way to track them down and a shitload of specials to seer them twice over each night to boot.
Thanks for hosting LFHX but it did feel we were simply a phase that had no option at all just to get some flavor for the real faction game going on. I even considered betraying mafia for secondary and tertiary conditions as it was that hopeless.
Still, thank you village for providing me days of entertainment by sifting through the voting records on who saved me. As is obvious, none of my teammates were involved. Had me laughing for days afterwards.
My chance to kill seemed to go up whenever my honor dropped, which made me notice it
yeah. did work alright for True Names though - had a lot of infighting and the mafia members won separately if they destroyed their smaller caste.
If not in such a format then I'd definitely say even distribution should be taboo.
Also if you had voted me out rather than vig I would have been happy to bargain with information considering we had a full player list. No coincidence I happened to find spiders with 0 honor easily, but unfortunately there was little threat for the clans to be found in them.
EDIT - And my redirect saved one of us at least once, so I was happy.
Thanks for hosting LFHX. I hope that a little break refills you with passion to retry a main, because you've got some awesome narration skills.
I think the scorpion were mostly done in by bad luck. I know Cynic was trying to seer in clan for the first few days and I think the first time he actually succeeded in seering anyone was me on the third day, and then I went and got killed the next night. It really stunted out ability to join the network (which resulted in the scorpion kill-fest to find the bloodspeaker).
By the way, the write-ups were awesome. I really enjoyed having a sneaky ninja fight scene! Thanks LFHX
However, it was A duck! telling me this, so that's probably where I went wrong.
Mmmmm....toasty.
Might have had something to do with it. I also redirected any kills I knew about so I could pick targets.
Yeah I posted that then went.
HEY WAIT A SECOND FACTION GAME
