Ok, that stinks. I promise not to do that anymore :)

Samurai checking in!

Mosuke Hosoi checking in.

Takeshi Tono, noble samurai checking in.

I am Daisuke Sakakida, a famed samurai swordsman. I honor the great Chuck Norris.

Samurai checking in...

Tsuruko Shimada checking in...lets bag us some ninjas

We're up against ninjas? We have already lost all hope...

Edit: Someone didn't read the introduction very cafefully. :o

I am Koji Maruyama. I don't really remember much from before the camp fire, but I have a vague recollection of coming from a very distinguished family. I'm proud to be a samurai.

Or, subtitled (unfortunately, Google doesn't do a good English-Oriental-English, so I had to settle for English-French-German-English):
I am Koji Maruyama. I do not remember much really before the campfire, but I have a vague memory to come from a very much differentiated family to. I am one to be proud samurai.

Me or you? I see us up against ninjas...am i wrong? Samauri=good...ninja=bad :confused:

Heihachi Makabe checking in before heading to the bar.

ahhhh. I am honorable samurai Naosuke Kurosawa...you tell name of song, i sing for you, you buy Kurosawa sake, ok?

Just a reminder, as I have had a couple of questions on this already: It is Day 1. There is no Night 0 in this game.

Kazuko Yikimime, samurai...I am here.

Mmmmmm. Kurosawa sake sounds most delicious.

ahh, Domo Hoopsguy-sama, Kurosawa too busy at bar to know that. Kurosawa must choose vote now.

YOU INSULT KUROSAWA NAME!!! YOU DISRESPECT KUROSAWA ANCESTORS!!PERHAPS KUROSAWA STEEL TEACH YOU SOME RESPECT!!!

VOTE Eaglesfan27 (had to vote for someone, this can easily change as the day goes on)

My name is Yoichiro Fujita.

Ahhh, I see how this misunderstanding occurred. However, you have now insulted my ancestors. I'm a famed Samurai who doesn't back down from anyone. I let my sword do my shouting.

Vote Saldana

I sense big winds blowing out of Mr. Fujita's mouth.

No, my mistake.

Chuck Norris told us to look out for the ninjas. I trust Chuck Norris.

VOTE DUBB93 :)

Chuck Norris is my hero. I will do whatever Chuck Norris wants me to do, unless Chuck Norris try to touch my samurai sword.

VOTE BLADE6119

Usual disclaimer: No reason for this vote, willing to change it, etc.

And here are the (very) early vote tallies:

Eaglesfan (1) - Saldana (post 119)
Saldana (1) - Eaglesfan (post 121)
Dubb (1) - Blade (post 124)
Blade (1) - RPI (post 126)

I'll try to update these regularly over the weekend but may have limited availability during the day on Monday.

The only reason it isn't called a Norris sword is because Chuck Norris's leg is stronger.

I almost have to believe you are a ninja, to throw this vote out this early...but I'll wait a few days so I can make a better case.

Now I've been in the bar getting drunk for about 2 days straight now, and not once has Tanglewood given me a drink. After all his arguing with Packer over it yesterday this is not acceptable. Therefore I must:

VOTE TANGLEWOOD

Same with that one. Seems stupid to vote the seasoned players off on day 1. Either they will be killed early, or they will help us in a few days. Makes the game easier for the ninjas.

[quote=dubb93]
It's late and this appears to be a triple dola, what I meant was it makes no sense to vote for them early, b/c last game we proved that without them the villager types are worthless. Hate to say it, but we played you guys like puppets once the seasoned players were gone. Why turn around and vote for one early this time around? Let the ninjas waste kills on them if that is the route they play, or let them help you in a few days if they are left around.

If it gets too obvious what they are doing, at that time you vote them out, but not on day 1, that is stupid.

Quite honestly dubb i expect to attempt to stir some discussion up tomorrow. My vote on you was unlikely to stay before the comment, but like i always want it caused you to defend it. I expect that to happen a few times tomorrow to make this a somewhat better informed day one. With non-usual roles, its going to be an interesting game and im just trying to feel out the players i know. I couldnt tell you how tangleweed normally responds, hence my vote for you. You responded, and i will likely feel out others before the vote is over. Never too early to go to work. Thank you for your responses by the way, helpful

My special edition Chuck Norris random number generator kicked me in the face tonight. When I looked in the mirror I could see the phrase:

VOTE ALAN T

on my forehead.

As always, since this is 1 this could change.

Ok, I'll give Blade & dubb a little time to step off their thrones....


UNVOTE BLADE


I'm going to vote for one of the last quiet people, later today.

Honestly? The first day... is the best time to get a seasoned person. if they are a ninja, then we deny them a chance to hatch plans (and more importantly, if/when they're found out, hide the affiliations of their comrades with doubletalk).. and if we get one or two seasond players early, then there's still others who can take their place.

There is no free pass for having done this kind of stuff before...

And one of Foz's rules: Never trust the first person to throw out a vote, because most of the time, they're attempting to start a discussion that they can steer away from their friends.

VOTE SALDANA

Especially because he thinks sake is below samurai. I don't thiiiiink so :)

I don't really think thats a very good idea. We found last game that when some of the seasoned vets in the villagers were killed, the rest of the game lacked alot of order or direction, and the villagers never were able to keep things together. I think its probably in our better interests to try to keep some of our vets alive for a while, so we can have time to get more information on who the bad guys might be. Unless someone comes out with some proof to why one of the vets is a likely ninja, or they slip up, Im not sure I would like to lynch one of them on a "hunch" this early.

That said.. last game I voted for the first person to vote.. this game I decided to vote for the first person to cast a second vote on someone. I really have no idea if Saldana is good or bad, or if Sirfozzie is good or bad, but for day one at least for now:

VOTE SIRFOZZIE

I will more than likely vote for one of the quiet ones. When is the deadline?

The last I saw, day one is over at 8pm CST on monday. So about 32 hours from now. Plenty of time for people to get in. If people don't vote/contribute to the discussion by then, its probably not due to lack of chance.

I'm fairly sure it is not until tomorrow night.

Oh okay. So we have tons of time to vote for somebody for no good reason!

:)

exactly! :)

Posting something so as not to be lumped in with the quiet bunch.

I don't think so, you're just padding your postcount! ;)

Seriously, this is a hard vote to make.. you have nothing to go by :P

Deadline is 8PM CST on Monday night. I have an appointment at 6:30 that will keep me from getting home until right around that time so it may take a little time to process the final results but that is the deadline.

Current vote counts:
Eaglesfan - Saldana (119)
Saldana - Eaglesfan (121), SirFozzie (136)
Dubb - Blade (124)
Tanglewood - Dubb (129)
AlanT - Kingfc (133)
SirFozzie - AlanT (137)

Since my old nemesis isn't here (AE), I'll just go with my other oldest nemesis:

Vote Dubb

:)

Dola.

The above is subject to change, since I am not sure if I am allowed to remember people from past "times".

UNVOTE DUBB
VOTE SIRFOZZIE

Id generally say that his comments so far have been in direct opposition to what most villagers would say in my mind. Id still love to see lathum actually contribute, and he may still get my vote as he NEVER contributes too much, but for now fozzie earned my interest

DOLA, didnt bold

UNVOTE DUBB
VOTE SIRFOZZIE

Come on people, come out and play. I know some of you are on the board, lets get some discussion going.
