By the way, the day is almost over. Everyone should be posting their opinions about who the Radfield should lynch so he have better idea of what to do.

I agree with below post:

We all seem to be assuming that there is a Yellow Turban 'Leader'. This is really all the rules say about the YT's.

Nothing at all about a leader, which would kinda make sense if the YT's started with more then 1 person. They're more like mafia, collectively making decisions.

Anyways, who at this point is most likely to be a Yellow Turban? I think for starters we should look at the people who are voting for me. Why me? For starters because a bandwagon started up on me, and second because I indicated I would simply vote off whomever was being inactive. No threat at all to a Yellow Turban, and a great place to hide.

So lets see who voted for me(minus myself):

Johnnyspazz
Brownbear
Hesmyrr
Abenson
DarthTheinAn
TwoToneTerran
Falcynn
Last Romantic
Tricode
Xelin
Trezguet
Jugan

Last Romantic hasn't actually posted in the thread. Darththeinan and TwoToneTerran have contributed basically nothing. I don't really feel like examining the rest, as I'm not particularly motivated to search out the YT's or Faction Leaders at this point. But I think it's likely that there are a couple faction leaders and a couple yellow turbans in this bunch, possibly all of them. Thoughts anyone? Does this seem likely? Or am I reading too much into this?

DarthThienAn 3
Falcynn 4
Last Romantic 0
Tricode 4

I will agree with death of either one of the above. Opinions?

You missed my name

I haven`t posted since I don`t feel like over analyzing with almost no information at our hands at the moment. I also don`t want to have everyone throw shit at me right off the bat.

It's only 3 if the 3 leaders pick different people, though you are right, this is the most likely situation. Since Radfield is a sudo confirmed townsman, that makes him a likely YT later in the game. The wording of the battle site though may just refer to the fact that most of us are currently townies so the armies we have given would not have come from the 3 kingdoms....

I doubt the leaders will go for the obvious choices as they should probably go for the numbers and try not to overlap. And the neutral side still probably has the least chance of winning (I think). We should also keep in mind that there could be no YT leader at all, just the members. Should be clear in a night or two.

It's clear right now, unless Caller likes giving out random rules that have no meaning. If the YT try to recruit a faction leader they die. That means that there is at least a recruiter. And that recruiter is probably their leader, who if I remember correctly is Zhang Jiao. I'm not going to look it up to double-check.

There could be a private vote between yellow turbans (if they know each other in the first place) who to recruit. Considering the historical side however, yeah there probably is a leader. I wouldn`t be surprised if Caller decided to skew it a little to make the game more interesting though.

I'm actually going to take this opportunity to suggest an idea. As long as we seem to be sticking with the "lets kill the faction leaders fast" theme here, in order to keep voting power in our hands, I humbly suggest this tactic:

We do not let any person win the day vote more than once.

My reasoning is this: If we start going back to the same person over and over to vote for us, then it would stand to reason that some faction leader would notice and decide to recruit that one person. Now, we're giving our armies to one person, but they aren't working for the neutrals anymore, they're working for a faction. If we keep picking different people to choose they daykill, then we have a much better chance of actually having the daykill be in neutral hands, and not in the hands of a faction.

Also, can I get a rules clarification in the house? Say that 3 factions are killed off early, and there's only one faction (Green) left, but there are more neutrals than Greens. Does the game end at that point, as Green outnumbers the other (dead) factions, or do the neutrals count as a faction, so it turns into regular mafia, where the neutrals try to figure out the greens, and the greens recruit the neutrals?

Also, if a non-YT faction leader is killed, what happens to his recruits? Do they die too, or do they revert to neutral?

There is pretty much no chance that Radfield, considering he`s a neutral (btw I think I`m missing why everyone says Radfield is a 100% confirmed townie, killing LR was in everyone`s interest (except LR lol)) that he will be recruited since it`s highly unlikely there would be exactly one leader going for him.

edit: So I forgot to conclude. Going for Radfield 2nd day is still the best choice probably, perhaps not so much later on, but now it is.
