Topic open now!

I would like to note one host error: Due to a technical error, Abigail Sophia didn't receive a role PM, which I only noticed after she had died. Shingen's powers were still listed in the Discord server, but they were by their standard mafia names (e.g. "commute", "track") rather than the explanation of them that was in the role PM. Given that they didn't use any of the powers, this error may have had an influence on the result, and for that I apologize. (Motobot still didn't use any even after receiving clarification though, so eh.)

Confident in their numbers and strategical advantage, the Oda Clan launched their grand attack at Nageshino. With their powerful weapons, the Takeda were quickly demolished in battle.

You are Uesugi Kenshin! You are one of Shingen's biggest rivals, but are not unaware of the threat that the Oda Clan poses to your own clan.

You are a member of the Uesugi Clan (the only one in the game), and win if the Oda clan is defeated and Shingen is dead at endgame (it doesn't matter if the Kagemusha is still alive). If you achieve these conditions, you will be the sole winner, but keep in mind you being alive won't stop an Oda Clan victory nor will it stop a Takeda Clan victory if Shingen is still alive!

Meanwhile, the Oda Clan celebrated their decisive victory. They had just destroyed one of their few remaining rivals for control of Japan, and it seems like nothing will stop them now!

You are Oda Nobunaga! A young warlord with the dream of unifying all of Japan under your clan's banner, but right now Takeda Shingen is one of the few who stand in your way. If Shingen's death is revealed to the thread, either because both he and the Kagemusha have died or because three day/night cycles have passed since Shingen's death, your faction will be able to perform two nightkills per night.

Additionally, on N2, you will receive foreign shipments of weapons that you can send once to any player not a part of your faction. The following night, that player will be able to kill someone.

You are a member of the Oda Clan and win when all threats to your faction have been eliminated or otherwise neutralized or if nothing can stop this from happening.

The Takeda Clan's leader was killed in battle. However, when examining his body, it was found that he didn't have any of the late daimyō's scars. He was an imposter!

You are the Kagemusha! A thief that was about to be executed for some petty crimes, you were saved when it was realized that you would be useful as a body double.

You start out as an Independent Survivor with the goal of being alive at endgame. You have OC with Takeda Shingen. If Shingen dies before you do, they will flip as the Kagemusha and you will convert to being a member of the Takeda Clan and inherit any abilities they haven't yet used and the ability to settle ties. If both of you die or three day/night cycles pass after Shingen's death, the ruse will be revealed and the Oda Clan will be able to kill twice a night and gain the ability to settle ties. You start out as a Survivor with the win condition of being alive at endgame, but if Takeda Shingen dies before you do, you will instead become a member of the Takeda Clan and win when all threats to your faction have been eliminated or otherwise neutralized or if nothing can stop this from happening.

You are the Takeda Shingen! The leader of the Takeda Clan, you are a great strategist but need to tread carefully after the Oda have attacked your domain.

As the daimyō', you can settle ties. You additionally have four abilities based on your battle tactics:

Swift as the wind: One night, make yourself untargetable by any night actions.
Quiet as a forest: One night, find out who a player of your choice visited.
Fierce as fire: One night, prevent a player of your choosing from using any night actions.
Immovable as a mountain: One night, protect one player from any killing actions.

You have OC with the Kagemusha. If you dies before the Kagemusha does, you will flip as the Kagemusha and the Kagemusha will convert to being a member of the Takeda Clan and inherit any abilities you haven't yet used and the ability to settle ties. If both of you die or three day/night cycles pass after your death, the ruse will be revealed and the Oda Clan will be able to kill twice a night and gain the ability to settle ties. You are a member of the Takeda Clan, and win when all threats to your faction are eliminated or otherwise neutralized or if nothing can stop this from happening.

It is now D4. Be warned, the Oda clan can now settle ties and has two nightkills. This can potentially be the last phase of the game, so be careful; you have 48 hours.

The next person suspected of being a collaborator was Shingen's brother himself, who was suspected of having his own sights set on the throne. Unfortunately, the Takeda Clan was no closer to victory in their war against the Oda Clan.

In order to get revenge for the Takeda clan's casualties, Takeda Katsuyori rushed into battle. However, his strategical acumen was nowhere near as good as his father's, and he was quickly killed.

The Takeda Clan suffered an attack by the Oda Clan. While they were able to drive them back, the Takeda clan lost one of their generals in the battle.

After the Takeda clan was investigated for any potential spies, suspicion fell onto one of Shingen's concubines. Thus, she was summarily executed.

In the Kai province, Takeda Shingen's forces catch a petty thief who was trying to steal some coins. However, after noticing that the thief bore a strong resemblance to the daimyō, it was decided to leave the thief alive to use as a body double. Meanwhile, after Nobunaga's victory in the Battle of Anegawa, he had his sights set on the Takeda clan on his next step to his conquest of Japan. It was clear that a major battle was brewing and one that could have a massive effect on history.

It is now D1. I'll let it start early as I'm unsure if I'll be able to start it in time otherwise but the phase ends on its usual time of 22 March 2024 10:00 PM EST.

Players:
1. falcon45ca
2. Epignosis
3. ☆Princess Abigail☆ – Oyunokata, died D1, Takeda Clan
4. DrWilgy - Takeda Katsuyori, died N2, Takeda Clan
5. LoRab
6. Scotty – Naitō Masatoyo, died N1, Takeda Clan
7. TonyStarkPrime
8. Long Con
9. sig
10. JaggedJimmyJay
11. Abigail Sophia – Died D2, thief actually Takeda Shingen, Takeda Clan
12. motobot - Died N3, Kagemusha, independent survivor turned Takeda Clan
13. Simon - Takeda Nobukado, died D3, Takeda Clan

The setup revolves around two roles: Takeda Shingen and the Kagemusha. The Kagemusha starts out as an independent survivor and has BTSC with Shingen. If Shingen dies, he will flip as the Kagemusha instead, and the Kagemusha will convert to town and inherit all of Shingen's powers. However, if the Kagemusha dies afterwards, or three day/night cycles pass after Shingen's death, the ruse will be revealed and the Oda clan will be able to nightkill two people per night.

1. Phases update at 10:00 EST (2:00 UTC). Days are 48 hours long, while nights are 24 hours long.
2. Ties are not resolved randomly.
3. No screenshotting/quoting role PMs/host communications, no angleshooting, no weaponizing the host, no openly playing against win condition, basically all of that standard stuff.
4. There are no elements that I would define as bastard (aside from the possible fake flip, which can be easily anticipated).
5. If you have any questions, ask the host privately; I will provide a public answer if I feel it is warranted.
6. A minimum of 5 game-related (up to the host's discretion, although I am lenient as to what is considered game-related) posts are required each day phase or I will sub you out.
7. Nameclaiming/flavor claiming is banned. All other claiming (e.g. role claiming) is allowed.
8. The two main factions are the Takeda Clan (town) and the Oda Clan (wolves). There may or may not be other factions.
