At this point, I think expressing your feelings is important.

Okimi, you feel in danger as Ryu accused your character of working for the enemy in front of a guy who can order to kill you just like that. Ryu did that.

We are afraid that if we become a single group you will do something that will displease a powerful guy and will want to kill not only you but all of us. Okimi did that.

We really don't like ultimatums either. We take them from our GMs. From other players my usual reply is "fuck you".

I am in the middle, because I practically invited you to the game. And I have known Akira and Sakura for a long time now.

I feel a responsability to you because I actively invited you to the game and you are not enjoying the interactions with the group. I feel a responsability to them because I told them "She is cool, she is great" and they don't see it.

You have made it clear that you don't like our evil playstyle. We don't like your goody one. You fear that you will not enjoy victory with us as our evil deeds will not make it a happy ending. We fear that you may put us in unnecessary danger and we will not reach the happy ending.

As a show of good will, Ryu will read the scroll aloud. No secrets.
If you accept it, read the scroll of the Phoenix. No secrets.

Ah I think I'll take the 'fuck you'

This isn't going anywhere

You have already PVPed me. You tried to get me killed, and just admitted it. Wow... what a welcome. If I was to summarise what happened: you nvited me to the game so that you could get me killed in a pvp... Great welcome for a player

I respond by making it so that we either both/all die, or neither. There were very few other options open to me. That's the danger of being evil of course: you initiate things like this, and then you get hit by the consequences. You are of course (and did) blame Okimi for me rather than realise that it's the inevitable consequence of your choice to initiate pvp

As we go forwards you will just do it again. Because as you say you are unwilling to play in a way that is compatible with a person who isn't evil.

I joined against my better judgement. Evil games usual end up with players trying to kill each other... and look ... in the very first encounter that already has happened.

The 'ultimatum' was me expressing that I can't play in a game like this. I should have quit instead of issuing it.  I was rather hoping that ... ah well... I should have known better.

Please remove me from the game. I'll go play in games where there isn't pvp and people can be nice to each other

Then I take all the blame.

Thanks for your efforts and good will. I am sorry it ended this way and I hope you can find another game soon. You are a great roleplayer.  I only played one evil game where I had a bad experience. Our styles just are not compatible. Perhaps if the other game where we met would have lasted longer we would arrive to the same conclusion years ago.

Good luck in your future games.

Did get a 20 on sense motive. any chance he is hiding something?

I rolled a 23.

What would Tsuyokaze gain with the disgrace of his Lord? If he is working for the other guy, he is just trading masters.

It depends... perhaps raising his status? in exchange of swearing fealty to him?

I am a little lost.

Did Hanahashi live in the same room where the Daimsho was? Was he in charge of keeping the Daimsho?
If not, are we in the Daimsho's room? Or in the historian's room? Because there is a Daimsho stand and the GM made a point in noticing there is no nightingale floor.

Yes, it would help me clarify things in my head too.

I though Hanashi was just an historian, not a Samurai too. LOL

Sorry for the delay, busy week at work will post update tomorrow.

Don't worry, happens to everyone :)

Hello?

Hello there

The GM is probably having another bad week. Hope he will return soon.

Just got back from fire assignment.  Posting now.

Welcome back boss.

Sorry for delay will post tomorrow

Hey John, not that I am not grateful for the offering, but perhaps can we save it for later? I think this situation can be solved with a ladder IF they find one.

I get it, just moving things forward.

Just to verify. We have already searched this room correct?

And what room did we use to get into the ceiling?

We come from Hanashi's room. Now we are in the Lord's private chambers.

John is going to knock about in the attic and look for clues up there. There are others smarter than he to look about the singing floor room.

Sorry everyone, Ryu, Akira and me got caught in a major internet failure in the area. Damn phone companies. And damn electrical companies too because we got like two days without electricity.

Yeah, I just got my electricity back yesterday.
