So I'm going to be tortured tonight, and I'm going to come out as just a soldier. I won't lose any powers at all, so whatever you people want to do with me is okay.
I'm fine with this, seems like a good method to prove my innocence.
Day 1 Narration
Corruption During Emperor Ling’s Reign – 178 A.D.
Emperor Ling, Age 11.
When Emperor Ling first took the throne, everyone thought that he was young, naïve, and would do nothing to save China. Everyone was mostly correct. When Ling first took the throne, he was a young boy who was easily influenced, and many of the Eunuchs that were put in power during Emperor Huan’s reign were overjoyed that the fate of China rested on that young boy’s shoulders. The Eunuchs found it very easy to manipulate and persuade Emperor Ling to do whatever they wanted.
Perhaps Shu’s support was misguided, as Emperor Ling began to exhibit even more corruption in the following years, even without the persuasion of the Eunuchs. In 178 A.D., Emperor Ling passed a new law that allowed for any normal citizen to buy positions of power in the government. As you may have guessed, the citizens who took power were just as corrupt, if not more corrupt then Ling and the Eunuchs. Conflicts between the Three Kingdoms escalated to the point where people began spying, and even worse, people began dying. Multiple spies were found dead, assassinated on purpose, or perhaps more likely, by misfire. Heightened feelings of mistrust were found in all the clans, and every clan began witch hunts upon their own, trying to find any traitors and spies among them. Multiple people were tortured, and some even went insane, but at least none were killed. China’s own personal army was even sent after a Chinese citizen due to the high demand by the rest of China, a man by the name of Redbird. While the army was on its way to Redbird’s property, they received a message from the Emperor himself. The message read:
“Sun Quan has decided to veto the public’s opinion. Please instead go after the second place opinion, PrecisionKâ€
PrecisionK was found dead the next day. China was rapidly spinning out of control, becoming worse and worse each day, and Emperor Ling was not helping in any way. The Shu believe that he will turn around and they have begun sending letters to Ling asking him to remove the Eunuch’s and to help save China. Perhaps now that Ling is older, maybe he will be wiser as well, and that China’s tremulous period will end.

“Sun Quan has decided to veto the public’s opinion. Please instead go after the second place opinion, PrecisionK”
Dearest Salt, I do believe that his point was that PrecisionK was in FIRST place last night according to the public votes. Somebodies got vote-altering powers.
Yeah it's looking like the multi-thread consensus is that the left hand of Vote Fuckers Anonymous didn't know what the right hand of Vote Fuckers Anonymous was doing.
I have been contacted by Zhang Fei, general of the Shu army, who is looking for his two brothers, Liu Bei and Guan Yu. If these people would contact me so I could put them into contact with each other it would be swell.
I can ask PM related questions to these people so impostors do not try and infiltrate.
I think someone's just attempted to get info out of me about the brothers. Fortunately, they did not have all the info. I'll confirm this and come back with a bandwagon later.
Roo, do you mean red bandwagon or the purple one? I'm assuming that the brothers are all within Shu, but who knows what someone from another thread might be trying to pull. :P

Assuming that they would be balanced between faction, and likely offseting each other in Wu versus Wei.

Woo! I second that winky.

Corruption During Emperor Ling’s Reign – 178 A.D.
Emperor Ling, Age 11.
When Emperor Ling first took the throne, everyone thought that he was young, naïve, and would do nothing to save China. Everyone was mostly correct. When Ling first took the throne, he was a young boy who was easily influenced, and many of the Eunuchs that were put in power during Emperor Huan’s reign were overjoyed that the fate of China rested on that young boy’s shoulders. The Eunuchs found it very easy to manipulate and persuade Emperor Ling to do whatever they wanted.
Their first order of business was to get rid of all the officials in the government who opposed the Eunuchs. The Eunuchs told Ling that the other officials were planning a coup d’état against him as they were dissatisfied with his reign. Ling bought the story and had all the Eunich opposers killed or arrested, resulting in around a hundred deaths. Despite this, the people of Shu were still willing to give the Emperor the benefit of the doubt and they vehemently disagreed with Wu and Wei’s claim that the Emperor should be removed from power. The Shu believed that it was Ling’s god-given birthright to be sitting on the throne, and that those nay-sayers are disagreeing with God’s word.
Perhaps Shu’s support was misguided, as Emperor Ling began to exhibit even more corruption in the following years, even without the persuasion of the Eunuchs. In 178 A.D., Emperor Ling passed a new law that allowed for any normal citizen to buy positions of power in the government.

So now both EB and I are confirmed good for our own sides. Anyone who wants to do something with this should PM me.
Edit- Clarification- Is Red the bad color or the Wu color?
But yes, It seems we did something...
Interesting.
So... my question is
Do we risk doing the same bandwagon in hopes that Sun Quan doesn't get a Veto every night?

I guess he got screwed by vote manipulation.
Shady. Something shady is up.
culling someone from something called Syndicate of Corrupters does seem like it might be doing us a favor.
EDIT: Would checking out the source material help me out here?
I suppose the answer is probably not "no"
This is going to take some serious contemplation.
So lemme try to get this straight.
PK won the vote.
Sun Quan vetoed the vote lead, which apparently turned out to be Red Bird.
So PK Died.
So what just happened? hmmm

You could have been slightly less suspicious with your "Emperor Ling must die!" posts. Not really a surprise that a vig killed you.

I find this most amusing since I don't particularly like heavy vote manipulation and vetoes.
