Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
Night ending, figuring out the inputs -
I have to say I love all of you guys. Some of these are hilarious - and the Halloween Treat will be showing a pm by pm input of the game as we go.
- - - Updated - - -
Note to anonymous question #1 - If you make a QT (which you can) (whatever that is) and I find out about it (or the agents of the Censor) - then they (I) would probably try to wipe all active players out in a daytime attack.
Meaning, if I get rumors or evidence of a player, they would probably get added to the casualties of a day activity.
This game is a little different, as each player has the ability to counter or influence the Narrator as well - but every player has counter goals for their own personal win conditions."see the little angels rise up high, how do they rise up, rise up, how do they rise up high?"

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
These were night actions by Clans - They are posted in Most Recent down to the First Inputs (Make Sense?) Last inputs are on top, first inputs are on the bottom.
It was correctly pointed out that I HAD these in a wrong order, almost reversed.

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
Ok, some cool things happened last night phase, and I need to get out results as soon as I can work them through in the next hour.
I need to explain how the recruiting works for those that have - and were recruited. It's enough players and was in the rules that I listed were in the game - so here goes:
Let's say that Ten players use recruiting in the night phase.
Inputs are taken in order they were received - so in this example - each player number is the order that I took the inputs.
1. Clan Name Alpha - Player Apple
2. Clan Name Bravo - Player Ben
3. Clan Name Charlie - Player Chuck
4. Clan Name Delta - Player David
5. Clan Name Echo - Player Ed
6. Clan Name Foxtrot - Player Frank
7. Clan Name Golf - George
8. Clan Name - Hotel - Hank
9. Clan Name - Indigo - Player - Iago
10. Clan Name - Juliet - Player Juan
So - from these players - complete mash of inputs:
1. Clan Name Alpha - Player Apple - Recruits Iago
2. Clan Name Bravo - Player Ben - Recruits David
3. Clan Name Charlie - Player Chuck - Recruits Iago
4. Clan Name Delta - Player David - Recruits Ed
5. Clan Name Echo - Player Ed - Recruits David
6. Clan Name Foxtrot - Player Frank - Recruits Juan
7. Clan Name Golf - George - Recruits David
8. Clan Name - Hotel - Hank - Recruits Iago
9. Clan Name - Indigo - Player - Recruits Juan
10. Clan Name - Juliet - Player Juan - Recruits Iago
Ok then -
1. Clan Alpha is now:
Apple (Clan Leader)
Iago
2. Clan Bravo is now:
Ben (Clan Leader)
David
Things get interesting:
3. Clan Name Charlie - Player Chuck - Recruits Iago
This means clan Apple has been merged with Clan Charlie.
This is how things look now:
- Chuck (Clan Leader)
- Iago
- Apple
But - If Chuck get's killed, may become clan leader if the other players support - or Apple may try to force Iago to revert back to Clan Alpa.
But things get more interesting:
4. Clan Name Delta - Player David - Recruits Ed
Delta is now:
- David (Clan Leader)
- Ed
5. Clan Name Echo - Player Ed - Recruits David
But Ed now recruits for Clan Delta.... so this actually means that they switch places
Clan Delta now looks like this:
- Ed (Clan Leader)
- David
6. Clan Name Foxtrot - Player Frank - Recruits Juan
Foxtrot is
- Frank (Clan Leader)
- Juan
7. Clan Name Golf - George - Recruits David
Again things are interesting:
David has again jumped places -
Golf is:
- George
- David
- Ed
If George were to die - the players would have to decide if they were to stay with David in charge of Clan Golf, or revert back to Clan Delta with Ed in charge
Ok, back to the other clans:
8. Clan Name - Hotel - Hank - Recruits Iago
Clan Hotel - Hank has recruited Iago
So now Clan Hotel is:
- Hank (Clan Leader)
- Iago
- Chuck
- Apple
9. Clan Name - Indigo - Player - Iago - Recruits Juan
Iago no longer recruits for Indigo - he now recruits for Clan Hotel.
When he recruits Juan, this is the new order:
- Hank (Clan Leader)
- Iago
- Juan
- Chuck
- Apple
10. Clan Name - Juliet - Player Juan - Recruits Iago
Finally - Juliet recruits Iago (very popular). But Julio Also no recruits for Clan Hotel.
Clan Hotel now looks like this:
- Hank (Clan Leader)
- Juan
- Iago
- Chuck
- Apple
Essentially, Iago now has given loyalty to Juan if something were to happen.
In other words - if you recruit *within* a clan, they other player - your recruit - is now placed below you in line.
All of these actions have happened last night, and I have to get to work - so it's hard to get all these actions out in the next hour.
I will send out updates in about 12 hours, there *is* a chance that several players that haven't gotten inputs in *could* get actions -
Inputting clan names isn't your action - that was homework *before* the start of Night 1, so if you don't have an action - then you might want to send it.
Otherwise - please role play until I'm able to get the night updates made."see the little angels rise up high, how do they rise up, rise up, how do they rise up high?"

That is the most insanely, gloriously complicated recruitment mechanic I've ever seen.

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
Just wait, there's even more to come - there's nothing saying you can't commit actions against your own team members... Night Kill, lying about scrys, private negotiations...
If you want the ultimate prize - the one winner over all winners, you're probably going to have to get your hands a little bloody."see the little angels rise up high, how do they rise up, rise up, how do they rise up high?"

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
So (paraphrased) "night actions occur in the order they were recieved."
Doesn't this mean that recruitment should be done last to first? Otherwise getting your action in early is actually a detriment. I'm better off waiting until the very last moment.
If I get my action in immediately, like immediately upon nightfall, and recruit Haruki, I should be te clan leader. But now someone can just come along ten seconds before dawn and recruit me and now my attention to timing to keep my position was wasted.
Seems like a flaw that I'm better off waiting until the last moment to recruit when every other night action it's better to get it in immediately.

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
While the system does encourage slow balling your actions, this example doesn't actually work because you'd be boned either way. Whether they recruit you early or late in the night you still end up being under them. Now if they were to recruit HARUKI, on the other hand, this is a valid point - if you posted first, you recruit Haruki, they recruit Haruki, then they get control over you due to how
borg assimilationrecruitment works. But if you entered your action last and they recruited Haruki, you'd get Haruki AND them under you because of how recruitment travels.
I think. It is kind of a cluster fudge . I'm kind of surprised everyone has recruitment abilities to be honest. It makes me wonder if there are even ninjas here at all or it's just every samurai for themselves.

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
But the reverse is also true.
People that can't conform to that shedule are penalized.
Not that it really matters much. I mean, it's just a game. It just seems odd that every night action happens by order of operation, but that in essence screws recruitment to a backward state.
Exactly. I grabbed 'Ruki first, and I'm third in line now, or whatever.
It just seems extremely counterintuitive to me.Last edited by Shadow; 2014-10-30 at 02:41 PM.

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
...huh, I didn't even think about that. Those who are wolves can probably just kill someone before they can recruit, and then the recruitment won't resolve. If it's an action and not vote based, I have no idea. On the other hand, villager actions like scrying and baning are kind of timing neutral at least, so at least we aren't PUNISHED for going early/later. Unless baning doesn't work if someone issues a kill command before hand, which would be... mean.
Actually that might work in your favor - if you have no underlings, they can't recruit you through osmosis. Though they could have just recruited you directly, but that would have happened no matter what in that case.Last edited by Anubis Dread; 2014-10-30 at 02:51 PM.

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
The what of what? I don't think we all got the same roles. I mean it IS samurai vs ninja, albeit a very messed up version. Some of us are samurai and some of us are ninja, so we must have different power sets.
Speaking of which - outed ninja! We have a lynch target!

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
Clans matter, for those in clans which is everyone, because of the win condition to equal or exceed the rest of the players in the game. We haven't even had night kills yet from those with the ability.
As for anyone recruiting themselves... I think there's a functionality there that can be worked into the game."see the little angels rise up high, how do they rise up, rise up, how do they rise up high?"

Erikku digs himself out of the barrel outside of The Emerald Dragon, groaning. What a night, tea and things other than tea. Pity that he didn't have quite enough for that last service. Oh well, things should clear up soon.

Re: WW Feudal Japan - Recruiting ends 2pm CST 25 Oct
Night ends, trying to get all the inputs out - at least the clans and the other actions will be sent before bed. I'll update this post when day starts.
Day 2 Begins. It will last at least 48 hours - I wanted it to end with Halloween, but alas tis not to be this year. (I owe too many inputs for players.)
Many or all of you should have updates.
Sange was arrested by Samurai at Dawn. Sange was a Shinobi, his head has been presented to the Censor.
Sange was a Ronin - he did not get a Clan input in for the game.Last edited by Andre Fairchilde; 2014-10-31 at 01:20 AM.
