Board 8 > ~~Japanese History~~ Mafia Topic 1 - The War Begins

(+) Yeah! (+)

The rules can be found at http://lolreg.altervista.org/Rules.html. In the interest of brevity, I am not posting them in full here.

It is your responsibility as a player to read and know them, but most, if not all of you, have played before and should know them well already.

Delseban's guide to proper paraphrasing can be found at http://lolreg.altervista.org/Paraphrasing.html. Same as the rules, it is your responsibility to read and know this guide. Same as the rules, it should also be second nature to most, if not all of you.

My main man and cohost MZero11 is writing the lynch/death flavor for this game, as well as helping with things when I'm unavailable to. We have opted to, for both of our (but mostly my) conveniences, run on a system where all flavor will be provided on day start, including the previous day's lynch.

Speaking of flavor, Do Not Post yet

After two centuries of seclusion, Japan was forced to open it's doors to foreign powers for trade when Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Edo in 1853. Against gun-boats and modern military weapons, the Japanese had no chance in a war and were forced to bend to the wills of the Western nations. This lead to economic turmoil and high tensions between locals and foreigners, and most of the blame was put on the ruler of Japan at the time, the Shogun.

In particular, samurai in Choshu and Satsuma really hated this and decided that the Shogunate should be abolished and power should be returned to the Emperor. The Shogunate initially resisted, but after the death of the Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi in 1866 and Emperor Komei in 1867, the new Shogun, Yoshinobu, tried to reorganize the government in a way where the Tokugawa family would still have sway in politics and keeps their lands, but the Emperor would be in control. He quickly resigned his powers to the emperor, but Satsuma and Choshu were not satisfied, and demanded that the Shogunate be dissolved and all lands stripped away from the Tokugawa family.

Initially agreeing, Yoshinobu changed his mind and refused to heed to the demands of Choshu-Satsuma alliance, who by now had moved into to occupy Kyoto, the site of the imperial palace. He decided to attack the combined forces, thus beginning the Boshin War.

Scare are you okay?

also I am not interested in pushing pez until I can get at least a preliminary read on him
---

That feels very cautious for an early game ball rolling. Afraid to be seen as prone, Tom my friend?
---

-did you forget my entire shtick is d1 caution
-Prone?
---

I have forgotten many things, to be honest. My sharp memory is not what it once was, as is the fate of all men.

However I don't think the word prone is very tricky there.

No. Are you?
---

I admitted that was a lie years ago, I just relied on my scary memory to keep tabs on players. But we just had a discussion about the lack of morality when it came to not reading your role PM.
---

I think I took notes a few times. I'm not sure it helped me that much
---

Also I find people more likely to be scum when they rely on old habits. Not for sure a tell, but both Tom and Plum have noted past behavior as a shield to current behavior.
---

Just after the last game, nonetheless!
