[Zodiac Phalla] Monday the 8th: The Taste of Victory [Larg Victory!]
Posts
Next we'll have to give the Moogles the vote... :P
I would imagine it's mostly called luck, which is something we all have from time to time.
I wipe the slate clean when I play these games so as not to carry vengeance or other thoughts etc over to the games.
Plenty of people in this player list can perform just as well as you can when given the chance, hence wraith, vigilante etc. Not everyone's had that chance. To bank our hopes on a single person seems very silly at this point in the game.
You might be better off giving us a name or two which you feel should be a bad guy and ask that we test those 1-2 people out by votes or otherwise prior to worrying about you, if your skills are that good, you can probably pick them out of the crowd without needing to be protected.
The odds favor the knights protecting themselves every night over one person who has had some luck in the past, I don't see why we should ask knights to protect you at this time when their ability to fend off all attacks is more useful in the long run. The more days we get, the more visions we can have and the better chance we have of finding holy stone people.
Now let me just get the image uploaded, etc...

Says the Goltana man who dosen't want an easy target protected?
What's so bad about letting Moogles vote? They are awesome! (That seems to be a theme of my describing stuff. It's always "awesome" :P)
Anyway, the TehSpectre thing seems a big odd, but I was thinking, is it possible for the G-Men to protect a L-Man? Wait, yea they probably could, because they wouldn't know someones faction when they protected them. But I have now coined those terms! (I can't remember the Lords names, because I never actually played FFT. Plus G-man reminds me of Half-Life.)
Just for now...
I wish I could get rid of that ugly white lining around the panda, though. Oh well.
Look at it
It's living in shame!

Knights who protect themselves die by vote only unless there's an item out there to kill them through protection, or someone has an ability to get them otherwise. Even so, they still have to be found by the attacks that happen in the night and it's still not a 100% guarantee they were defending themselves.
Their ability to survive the stabbings in the night helps their side, which coincidentally lowers the odds of the holy stone group. I'd say that's a win-win.
The role will be passed on to someone of the same side. It could potentially go to a stone holder.
And the Moggle vote must be quashed.
Save the Moogles! I'll protest against the unethical violence against such cute creatures!
Interesting planning coming forth. It's kind of hard to send out PMs to random people since there's a one in two shot you'll be dealing with someone not on your side...
Kupo-po.

I've just been saying that in 2 previous games (VtP & CoP) I have been extremely "lucky", if that is the term you want to use.
I regret now, my decision to try and be friendly with you this game by letting you know of my plan early on, because it obviously gave you time to think of how you could argue against myself.
As I said, I don't need to convince you, or mostly anyone else, I just need for the knight and the oracle to give me a chance....they will not regret it.
Wait, wrong SRPG...
I wipe the slate clean every game sir. I think your plan means we have to rely on you while knights protecting themselves gives us a better chance in the long run. If you had a way to guarantee us some zodiac kills, that would change my mind. Being lucky in past game will not substantiate your claim, at least not to me.
Per rule verification, we know that zodiacs are a part of each faction, but since the oracles see roles, it's not like we have to blindly go find them.
I'm curious why you think a knight should leave him/herself vulnerable while giving you some time to build up steam and try to nail some of them. Once the knight is dead, you could die the next round and your value to the group is gone. However, a knight who survives and even blocks a kill against himself could help immensely against both the opposing faction and the zodiacs.
I don't see why they should trust one particular person like this is all, the odds and statistics really play against your plan. I'm not saying it wouldn't work, I'm looking at long term here. You bag us a zodiac at the cost of a knight for example, do you feel that was worth it?
RE: Wearingglasses. From past games, I'm assuming the zodiacs know each other and those family members know each other, everyone else knows nobody. So the ninjas would have a chance of killing their own team.
Edit: Ardor, the chance of a knight being hit on the first few days is very low.
With that, I am off to patrol.
Surely you jest, lest of course you mean to insult this grand body of noble servants of the throne? Next Buzz Buzz will propose that we let the peasants vote on this council's proceedings. Fellow noblemen, it may just be the suspicious air caused by his poor taste, but I believe Buzz Buzz may have had something to do with Soren's untimely death.
(Woot FFT!)
Oh.
Though that was a knight's ability too. If it were a possible action I would think that the knight would have to give up their block for the night and risk their life causing a dilemma for both them and the stone holders. That is assuming they have the ability to break though.
So you only want protection from the knights for one-two nights? Think of the long term please. We're looking at a game that's probably going to take around a week or so for someone to win.
It's true the chances of a knight being hit is low, but it doesn't mean it cannot happen. When it does, it would be the other teams throwing out a lucky shot. We have 3+ blind kills happening every night, a team losing it's knight is a huge blow to them. Plus, you are also assuming you've got a knack or insight moreso than most the rest of the players in this game, when given the chance, I'm pretty sure many players can show just as much prowess.
This seems like an odd way to begin day 1, but at least it's entertaining.
The plot thickens...dun dun duuuuun.
It's not odd in the slightest, it's fairly standard honestly.
It is a pretty blatant attempt to power grab and avoiding the day one bandwagon that Spectre so richly deserves though.
DA is right, it's been a fairly common occurance where someone comes out in order to try and form a network that will work towards the greater good.
In this case, the game seems balanced enough and since it's basically 18 vs 18 vs 6, I don't see the need to create a one sided network like this. Wait a few days for one team to get decimated before people would be interested in doing this.
It's no longer villagers versus one bag guy group, it's two even teams against each other and one smaller faction.
Does that mean I lose?
I hope not. I've never played it either.
Edit: I haven't played it either, just FFT:A
I still hate the fact that people do that. But I guess it's just how it is. But I will view and decide things from the vantage of my character, in that he knows nothing from other phallas, and only knows what is going on right then.
You must be a special! [/bandwagon]
No, really guys, I am just trying my best to survive day one. Ador can throw out his fluff all day long if he wants, but I just want to be helpful.
Ador can call what I do "luck", but I never just base my kills on hunches. I am just good at breaking down what people say and using it to see what they are.
Take just a little while ago, glasses said something about the ninja being able to kill people on his own team. I took this as him being a newb to mafia games, but he seemed to ask about a certain role in the game. This, to me, means that he is the first generation ninja for his side. He doesn't quite know how things work and doesn't realise that he should have probably PMed Hyilianbunny for clarification.
This doesn't matter much anyway, because the ninja role is changed @ death.
Take my killings as "luck" if you will, but don't think it because Ardor tells you. He's just as likely to be on your side as I am (speaking to everyone playing) and that makes listening to someone dangerous in this game. He seems to be pointing out my flaws to everyone, where I am just trying to help my side win.
Beware people who try and act like this is a regular phalla, because it isn't.
Screw Larg and Goltana, vote me for the throne!
I don't think any of the specials know each other, except for the family specials. It may take some time for both sides to start developing networks; loss of an oracle early on could be a big difference between success and failure.
It's a good thing we have two days to discuss the first vote - this game is indeed different enough that we will have to think a bit differently about things. I'm still not sure how to handle TehSpectre yet - he's always been suspicious of me in past Phalla games so I suppose I owe him the same courtesy.
