def

Well, you are still the one I'm voting for tomorrow, based on you inability to trust

You certainly don't, but if you don't at this point, I question your dedication to the family If helping get rid of most of the scum that have been taken out doesn't do it, I can't imagine what would. On top of that, I've made lots of claims, of investigators, masons, and others, that have not a single counter claim. Maybe you're waiting for the kami-sama to publicly declare me Yakuza? It'll be interesting to see if you vote for Setsuko today. For the rest of you, loyal to our family, are you in agreement that Emi is the best choice for the next day, since Daisuke appears to be in a coma? I think the trail of the discussion today has shown the degree to which she doesn't want to actually help as opposed to claim to help.

Sorry, but you've communicated with lots of people in previous situations. So it's not just the way you handle things. And there is no possible way I could be neutral, since as I stated, I have been investigated, which is why I was able to pass information along to everyone here. I'll up that one more, and say that I was the first Mason recruited, on night one, by Tamiko, which is why I've been able to have so much trust built up. The masons exist, but no more are being recruited. If you want to act like I'm neutral (as if it would even make a difference, since I've been concretely helping kill scum, who would care if I had a different win condition ), well, I think you're being willfully difficult. And I think I'll suggest you for the lynch tomorrow, if the investigator doesn't get anything better. I think your "defense" here is really not a defense at all. How about your list of trusted (that I asked about)? Anybody on my list that you want to vouch for?

All the same, I've had a hand in a number of successful lynches and night kills, so I don't know what it would take to earn your trust Has anybody earned your trust yet?

First of all, I didn't say Cherry Blossom was investigated by the same person who investigated Hiroki and you. Second, I pegged you for scum yesterday when you were fishing me for info, so I told you what I felt like telling you So, please, trust my results this time around. Let's hop in the old way-back machine and venture back to a simpler time, a time when some of my best friends and family members hadn't been shamelessly chopped up by you and your evil ninja mutineer Truly, it was a beautiful day, I remember the blossoms were blooming, and I had received word that your pal Hiroki was a scumbag. タイムスリップ！ Claim of false reading? Check. Claim of unreliable results? Check. Scum caught red-handed? Check. No kung fu will get you out of this one I already explained this to you in private, but I can do it again publicly There are two scum teams. If you lynched every mutineer, you could still be an agent, playing town. That's what I would do (and have done in the past ). Being a vocal player counts for something, but it's not a perfect defense. And your disinterest in cooperating or working together doesn't make me feel any better about you. Basically, a majority of the people are cleared with me, but you aren't one of them. It's nothing personal. I will say, of those names I gave, Akio (Rumble Strike) Noriko (Eskallon) Emi (Brickdoctor) Lizzy (Capt. Redblade) Maniko (Swils) Daisuke (Scorpiox) I think Akio and Noriko are the least suspect, based on their behavior, but by no means clear. With Setsuko going down today, I think that will leave two scumbags between the two teams. I unfortunately think Daisuke is very likely to be one, and I'm unsure about the other one. That's just my personal scumdar working, and not the pooled opinion of the nakayoshi alliance.

Sorry, that wasn't Saburo. I meant Emi Pobody's nerfect.

It's pretty much a given that Setsuko is going down today, and I don't mean the fun kind As for the remaining days, I worry that sooner or later, poor little Norio is going to end up with a katana in the skull, and the few remaining terrified scum will feast upon Norio-sashimi, heavy on the wasabi So, in preparation of that day, I share with you a list of who the likely scum are. It's not a perfect list, and there is definitely some town on it, and of course, their could be scum not on the list. I have to work with what I know. But these are the ones who are not so helpful in public, and who haven't been helpful in private either. Akio (Rumble Strike) Noriko (Eskallon) Saburo (Brickdoctor) Lizzy (Capt. Redblade) Maniko (Swils) Daisuke (Scorpiox) I repeat, there must be town on that list. But, scum are down in numbers, and I think if you made these people our lynch for the next days, we would be guaranteed to win, since they couldn't kill off the true townies fast enough. We are likely to catch them through investigations at the same time, which would speed things along too. If any of the above would like to make a case why they are town, the rest of the true townies are waiting patiently

Apparently, the results with both Hiroki and Setsuko were just scummy It's unconventional, but it worked with Hiroki, so I'm willing to go with it again. Setsuko, you know what would be awesome? If you just confessed and told us about your partners too

Bwah-hah-hah! Two more scum bags taken out.... Along with our loyal Yakuza pal, Manga... :cry3: I'll let you folks know something! Chieko was acting like a scumbag. She claimed an unlikely to be counter-claimed jack of all trades role.... Which she apparently used everyday until she contacted me. Was it likely to be true? Not at all. So Cherry Blossom valiantly murdered her scumbag fack megablocks during the night And of course, Kenta was scumming things up something fierce, as reported to you yesterday. So the vig slaughtered his scummy fack megablocks as well. Kenta had done fine with the roleplaying, talking about making sushi a lot, but missed a few key points in his claim to me. And as predicted, he was a secret agent And, the most important point, the one that terrifies scumbags above all: they were both caught without investigation! They were caught through scumdar, and a consultation with the alliance of nakayoshi, where sensibility rules the day It's at this point that the few remaining scum are terrified. In fact, only one scumbag out of the eight we've caught was through investigations: Hiroki. Wait, that's not right We have one more! Setsuko is a scumbag! And a Mutineer, I'm willing to bet, though she could be a fifth agent. We'll see. Anyway, we lynch that scumbag today! Setsuko, make peace with your maker. Tonight you are dragon fodder

Thanks for the review! I've pondered buying this quite a bit. As you wrote in your tally, it's based on a real thing, and that makes it a curiosity to me. Unfortunately, 2011/2012 is a really good year for sets, and there are a lot of other sets I'd quite like to get (even though I've spent a few hundred dollars already since Christmas ), and it'll be hard to put this ahead of the rest of my buy list. I do think it is a nice design, and more interesting than the first Cuusoo model, the sub. The mini-figure is exclusive, but not really special, in my opinion. It's just an Aliens Attack fig with the hair switched, and your pic of the back side proves it. If the 2012 summer wave is lackluster, I'll try to get it though. It is very out of the ordinary for LEGO sets.

Well, in no way am I the boss here. I'm trying to work with whoever I can. But, without the participation of all, it's really hard to be part of the team Cherry Blossom has been put up on the table today because of her suspicious overall apathy, and I applaud her dignified behavior in the face of a lynching. Possibly she didn't understand that any role means you're not vanilla. Shocking, since she has been around the block more than any of us here, but I respect the way she's handled the day. I can't say the same about everyone though. I had a small request, for everyone to give some feedback to us about the behavior of the family, and, besides showing up and voting, giving your opinion is literally the least you could do Let's see who gave their input: Nobuo Chieko Shizuko Akio Noriko Setsuku Kenta Saburo Emi Lizzy Shiro Hanako Akira Kin Manga Maniko Norio :thumbup: Daisuke <forgiven due to extenuating circumstances > Cherry Blossom For the sake of this, simply voting wasn't counted as input, since it was simply joining the crowd. Really, I think the investigators are great and all, but relying on them won't solve the puzzle. Feel free to give your feedback anytime. おねがいします！ Ah, back in the good old days of MI6, there was no shirking duty. People simply stepped up and fulfilled the roles they were ordered to. Ah, なつかしい！ Yeah, Kenta seems to have taken on the "Yasu-chan-defense" Just give up. Not impressive, however you cut it

In case anyone didn't realize it, Tamiko's win condition (as head mason) was wrapped up in Aiko. If Aiko died, she lost. That is why they died together, since Tamiko couldn't "win". I do find it quite unseemly that there are now five allegiances revealed to us. I will be pretty tuckered out if that number hits six! And I notice Kenta is up and listening. Kenta, are you interested in explaining why you aren't totally scummy?

If you're a vanilla townie, how will you take someone down with you? How will you settle this personal vendetta from the grave? I'm confused

Is he immune to lynching or something?

Involvement in the day so far

While Kenta will definitely face some reckoning soon, this person has shown zero initiative. The only contact they've made is to explain that they aren't scum... but show no interest in helping the family otherwise. Vote: Cherry Blossom (Whitefang)

This makes me

Thanks for the fine review, Oky. I haven't bought too many Star Wars sets recently, but the last OT Y-wing was the one that brought me out of my dark ages four years back, and I have some sentimental attachment to the ship. I'm on the fence about the nose of this ship. It seems to be a mixture of the Clone Wars Y-wing and the 2006 model, but I liked the straighter lines of the old one's nose. One thing is for sure, this one has a much better selection of mini-figs with it

It didn't really make an impression on me, sorry. But thanks for your two yen on Lizzy

Wow, so you picked up on the fact that a Mutineer targeted an Agent. どうもありがとうございました。 I still think you've done very little for the town while being very outspoken, it's a great camouflage. I feel the great apathy falling over the family today, and I propose this: All loyal Yakuza submit one name of someone deserving of a lynch and a reason why. Family members should at the very least be able to do this

Great to hear Looking forward to some info from you

Sorry, I was looking at it from the townie point of view She was the head of the masons, a fairly important town role. She was in connection with the vig, so she knew the vig wouldn't kill her. She wanted to keep herself out of the crosshairs of the scum. So Emi, anything to offer to help the town today, or will you just be critiquing the play of our dead head mason?

While I don't know exactly think it was a great plan, it was decent enough. The goal was to make scum not waste their night actions on her. Unfortunately it didn't work 100%, and Tamiko was blocked on night two. But, she wasn't night killed or voted out, so on that level, it was successful Momoe tried to seduce somebody every night. Night one it was Ichiro (? Tammo). Night two and three, she was blocked. I suspect Aiko was the one she was looking for, so it was a shame we didn't kill her just one night sooner For today, I'm going to vote to lynch Kenta, for the time being. He has made a claim to me and it reeks of scum. He's claiming a role that's already been claimed, he's doing it in a scummy way (telling only info that Momoe knew through me), and he claims that Momoe contacted him on Day two to work together, and I just don't buy that Momoe would pick Kenta out of the crowd to work with. So, this is why scum are quiet; when they speak up, they are much more likely to be suspicious. I think Kenta is the final Agent, hopefully

Shiro, Kenta, you're two of the folks I'd really love to hear from. Can you tell us all, roughly, what you've been doing for the last five days? A lot of the town has been quite active, and you haven't. I'd really like to hear a case to justify your towniness

That's not so good Tamiko was in our little cluster of good guys, and now she's not I'm still waiting to hear back about any investigations last night, so there is no clear target in my mind. If there are any other townies with night actions, puzzled and working alone, please consider contacting me. I helped get an Agent lynched two days ago, and a Mutineer yesterday, so my towniness should be well-understood at this point. I won't take credit for putting a hit on Momoe, but I had some input into it Unfortunately, I had been trying to work with Momoe for two days before I realized she was an Agent Norio's seen better days, folks. Much better days. Ah, we killed two scum yesterday. We should consider the glass half-full...
