![[image loading]](http://s-tiger.photovillage.org/photosDir/2418/thumb/800-Sunset_View_Through_the_Window,_Big_Bend_National_Park,_Texas.jpg) Lu Xun was sitting on his table, looking out of his mansion's window. The sky was painted in magnificant red as the sunset was approaching- he did not need to be expert of horoscopy to realize that it signified the soon-to-follow battle, prelude to bloodbath that will determine the fate of the China. Will the revolutionary forces of the neutrals prevail, or shall the warlords end up triumphing? Being an tremendous intellectual, when power vaccum was created by ascension of Yellow Turbans, he realized that this could be an opportunity to break up the terrible cycle the country was stuck in. The Emperor system was outdated, he knew. It might have been quite effective means of governance, but it also ensured that long period of chaos and bloodbath would follow whenever the central government became distabilized. There was Qin Dynasty, which lasted only fifteen years until it collapsed leading to long period of disunion. That period also boasted all manner of warriors and deceptive politics; romance of two heroes- epic battle between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. To Lu Xun he was seeing samething about to occur. Han Dynasty was discredited beyond belief as it suffered under corrupted officials. It will collapse. And many prominent leaders will rise up to seize the empty position of Emperor, unwilling to say in the long run his dynasty too also will meet the same fate. As the Han Dynasty sent up posters calling up for reinforcements, Lu Xun also immediately launched counter campaign, spreading words between intellectuals. Many observed his movement skeptically, some thought it could not be done. But Radfield had seized the reign of the movement, and leading the combination of donated armies from those who believed in the revolution, crushed the Cao Cao sent by the government to quell the flames. It was an good beginning; Lu Xun immediately commanded the warriors to collect intelligence on their enemies, and bring out any significant information open. He had known not that his very plan will be his own downfall. -------------------- L, Sun Quan laughed as he read the status report on the so-called neutral revolution. The rebellion, which rose up simulatenously with Yellow Turbans exploiting the crack formed by them, was making itself clear to everyone that it had been underestimated. Being an warlord, he knew the movement could grow in power exponentially if Cao Cao's defeat encouraged many warriors to believe in plan's success. And it angered the intellectual side of him. The bastard knew if he was recruited, his own plan would mean his demise- couldn't he see such possibility? The soldier he called up arrived. Not have been given a reason, he was clearly nervous as he spoke up. "You called me, master?" "Yes. I heard you know the residence of Lu Xun's family?" -------------------- Lu Xun was returning after having visited johnnyspazz, having given him advice on how to increase security of his residence. He could have chosen to watch over the prominent individuals who seized the reign, such as Radfield or BrownBear, but he thought detectives and vigilantes is likely to poke around there, hoping to discover whether there were truly genuine in his cause or planning to betray them secretly. It was deep night. He would need to rest up for upcoming days. Entering his residence he noted that there were message lying on the front, and he was glad to discover it was news from someone in neutral army. Considering the mechanics of this game, I don't think I'm putting myself in too much danger by writing this and you seem like one of the few people who I'm semi-confident in sharing this with since you appeared obviously neutral friendly (too obvious maybe?...well, don't want to bother figuring all that out). Anyways, I have a watcher role and decided to watch radfield and found out that he was visited by Xelin. Don't know if Xelin is another neutral role like me (possibly another watcher?) or if he's a faction leader and chose to damn the wifom and recruit radfield (in which case it worked since he was the only visitor). I was wondering what your thought on this situation might be? I thought it wouldn't hurt to post this in the thread since this doesn't seem like something I'd be killed over, but I wanted another perspective just in case. If I end up not posting this in the thread, I'll probably still share this with someone else on the off-chance that you're not what I thought, and I find myself dead by tomorrow (hey, you can't be too careful in this game right? for all I know you got recruited too) Pondering this piece of news, he neared his room and froze. The light was on and he could see the silhouette of someone sitting in the room through the paper door. Someone inside the room also seem to have noticed his approach, as the dark humanoid shape stood up and slowly started walking toward the door, growing large... large.... and- Sun Quan revealed himself with a smirk. "There, you got something to lose by fishing. You're about to die a horrendous death. Sup, I'm your leader sun quan. I kinda hate sun quan. I figured it would be hilarious if you lost due to following your own plan, though, because it demonstrates exactly why you wouldn't want to have said plan. Anyways, if i get lynched or night hit again, i'm dead, and tricode wants to kill me because he actually IS a dt. Trezguet or whatever used a night hit on me and says he wants to co-operate with me, so maybe that'll work out. This is going to be a fun day if little else." "...What?" "I got your family, so you don't have say in this by the way." Lu Xun crumpled down on the floor. He thought nobody would dare to recruit him and even reveal himself publicly, considering that his strong anti-warlords position no one would dare choose to associate him in their forces. It was gambit, he understood, but he also did not anticipate such thing to occur so early. Just as the movement was taking off, he would need to decide between his honour and self-preservation. Self-preservation won out. "I have a plan." "Hmm?" "I am acquitance with Lu Bu, and he is aware of my ability. I will claim exactly this and say I protected you instead of johnnyspazz. Fortunately I did not meet with him directly and only advised his servants, so he cannot come out to contradict. Since this is day 1 claim vs day 2 claim, my claim is more likely to deserve credit- especially because it is true. Moreover I just received contact from watcher stating that he saw Xelin visit Radfield. I could propose third-party player to lead the army against that player." "That's a pretty good plan.” However, Lu Xun was already planning out an escape path. As long as Sun Quan doesn’t get attacked today by neutral army confederation, there is way for me to live. I will encourage town to find faction leader as soon as possible- and with everyone coming clean it will be much easier for me to figure out who the other two faction leaders are. Then I can secretly contact that leader and tell him to recruit me; this is desperation gambit, but my complete nullification ability is indeed pretty useful and he might find himself satisfied with getting me tonight since all other stronger abilities are likely to be covered by watchers and so. And you, my dear sir, I will ensure I personally arrange vigilante to take you down. -------------------- So it goes. The plan was successful, and Lu Xun had minor suspicion that BrownBear was following his own agenda - maybe there was some interaction going between them BrownBear and L he did not know about? - and will choose to kill someone other than L when the moment came. There was also several conflicting roleclaims, so what he just needed to do was to decide who the faction leaders are. But he was slowly beginning to doubt the benefit of following through his claim- even if I succeed, will other faction leaders manage to overpower the neutral army with all the investigation that is currently being raised? It was easy to distinguish leaders from neutrals; they had two night lives, and also lurking somewhere were watcher, trackers, and DT. Also what will history record me as? A selfish fool who did everything in his power to preserve his life, stomping on the very ideal he helped create. Had not he been full of ideal just yesterday, willing to break the history where the greedy individuals fought for rule only to fail? Breaking his train of thought Lu Xun returns his gaze to the falling sunset. The sky is quite beautiful, and exceptional today, Lu Xun thought. Long time passes as he simply gaze out the red sky in state of nothingness. Then, he grabs a piece of paper and starts scribbling. The sky and getting dark; the time is short. ================== Whatever, I am going out with the bang. Screw you L.  And shakes fist at Caller for not letting me protect myself (though I can see how powerful I can get if I was able to do so).From now on I will return back to neutral camp for remaining hours, though I personally don’t know what I can do to help anymore. I also apologize to everyone for intentionally acting to damage the town. | ||

Medic Protects L Another unknown vig and myself both hit L. the medic protects one of those hits, leaving him with one nightlife. Abenson hits L, but L is not YT, so it does nothing Tricode rolechecks, actually sees everything. Hesmyrr wasn't involved at all (damn, that was a really lucky sequence of events for you) | ||

No, L used up one of his night life. He only needs one hit to die- he bullshitted about medic, of course. I don't know if there is going actually any since I am buffed medic of sorts. L claims it was Trezguet who PM'd him about the hit. This is why L think either one of Trezguet or you must be YT, because if both of you had NK he would be dead. | ||

Trezguet, can you weigh in here? If you say "naw, this is a lie" then L's coffin is sealed. | ||

If you say "naw, this is a lie" then L's coffin is sealed. Trezguet has claimed in thread to be Cao Cao's son, can't remember the name. His ability is to kill any leader who tries to recruit him. Him claiming Vig to L seems awful strange, unless he was just fishing for information. | ||

I kinda wish I played this game now (I didn't sign up cuz it looked really chaotic and crazy shit) because cool tangible shit is actually happening (and like 50 times during this thread I wanted to yell omg people, can't you see this or omg did you seriously miss that etc etc.) Oh well, *sits back with the popcorn*. | ||

But yeah, I'm going to die anyways :3. | ||

I also go to the gym 4 days a week and am back home usually around 6 MST. I'm Meng Huo.

We need people to nameclaim and see where the contradictions come up. I don't know the first thing about the Three Kingdoms except what I've been reading on Wikipedia. So the whole "first five general that comes to your head", well I guess that's true. Stumbled upon the article and figured, Caller already had a couple, why not one more =D. I already explained my reasoning as to why I did what I did. I took Caller's "trolling is encouraged" to heart, first of all, but then decided I wanted to get more information for the town. I intentionally name and roleclaimed ahead of time to Radfield, then BB, so that when the time came, they could clear my name. Since this will say nothing about my role (I don't think), I'll claim for real this time: I am Zhou Jie Lun + Xiao Yu at the same time o.o o.o I'm Zhou Yu. I look really good and I'm great at music. And I'm really jealous of Radfield and am destined to die. Says Wikipedia anyway. They both did have better posts about Ma Chao...Anyway... I dunno whom to believe...probably more so Fishball said he might quit earlier...MyHeroNoob hasn't really been posting...Whole things wild. | ||
