Category 5 Hurricane

Apparently the French player can decide to declare war when Germany finishes one of it's early focuses, when it bans some group or other. I'm not clear on the details, as I was too busy laughing my ass off at the absurdity of the French player, who was playing with us for the first time, declared war on TheIrishman's Germany when the French forces were on Garrison duty and TheIrishman's forces had been set with a frontline and offensive orders.

Now, I have news of interest. With today's PM result, I also got my first notification of my vote counting! The catch here being that it is unclear why I have my vote back. My target was TheIrishman, but it seems as if the action never occurred, and it also doesn't seem like I was roleblocked. But at least my option C vote did count, and that is apparently why Soft Pluralism won the vote...even though OrangeP47 apparently didn't participate in the vote? I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on there. I'm getting a Pluralism/CivilWar vibe from him right now. I am wondering if Killing_You was the person who was using my vote, and I was only able to discover it because my vote was counted, or if Jeod being roleblocked is the reason why my vote counted. I'm not sure, but if it is the latter we'll find out soon enough. For now, though, it's pretty clear that I need to be investigated so that my situation is finally settled, so I will not bother making arguments for anyone else to be investigated today. Also, I understand that everyone has been trying to imitate VERTi60, but actually allowing him into the game is going too far and will not be tolerated. I will be fabricating a war goal soon.

Ok, sorry it's taken me so long to say anything during this phase. I was way too busy watching TheIrishman and another of my coworkers play Kaiserreich as Germany and France respectively and go to war in February 1936 and have one of the most entertaining wars I've ever watched. I'll actually get to participating in this now...

So it cost you 1PP for that, and 1PP for nominate?

Did it not cost TheIrishman PP to shoot?

Perhaps you don't understand that I can't know which part you are lying about, and thus I have to gloss over your "explanation" when it could be your first post was a lie, or the explanation is a lie.

I'll go with ##nominate Shade. I don't know if it matters to do a reform, at least from my position.

It started that way. If it was taken during the game, I would have mentioned it. I didn't talk about it earlier because I suspected scum have my vote, and if they knew somebody was out there trying to get it back, they'd probably move to kill me.

I will continue to gloss over the things you lie about, yes.

I still remember how you claimed to mark people that hit your traps and then never confirmed who my target was.

Jeod has been selfish in basically every aspect of this game. Other than voting status quo when from outside Austria or Hungary, which still confuses me.

Actually, can he even be voting when he's doing #trap and #kill every night?

I also don't think we have real evidence in any direction as far as what TheIrishman has been voting, other than that night.

You know, actually, for the longest time I was thinking Shade had that goal.

???

We can investigate TheIrishman and then Retal can roleblock me if he preferrs. That's fine. All he's going to do is stop me from interrogating Jeod.

I think it only makes sense to go after the guy who has a gun and is willing to threaten anybody else to do what he wants with that gun, and has been recorded as doing a #Kill action, probably in Shade's direction. ##vote Investigate TheIrishman

Pluralism/Reform

But you have voted in favor of civil war over reform at least twice.

If your secondary is reform, why have you voted differently multiple times?

I'm beginning to think that the only reason why Jeod is putting up this fight is that he wants the gun and can't win without it.

No. As far as I understand things, we're Sunflower/Jeod/TheIrishman vs OrangeP47/you/me with Shade as a potential tie breaker, and then I frankly have lost track on who's reform/civilwar at this point with the number of people who have voted against their claimed win condition. It may be less balanced than that, because unless Shade has my vote, someone from the Status Quo side has it, so the best we can manage could be 4v3.

Oh, and I didn't mention my results because I was stupid and checked OrangeP47 again thinking maybe the trap caused my action to fail, and it made sense that OrangeP47 was using my vote as his extra one, but no. Just another fail with some added "you stupid head" flavor.

CAN YOU PEOPLE PLEASE STOP BEING VERTI60 IT MAKES ME ANGRY

TheIrishman, you said you placed a trap on Jeod. Didn't you already place a trap on Jeod? If so, wouldn't that mean you'd hit yourself? Jeod, speaking of these traps, if you've been targeting yourself, shouldn't you also be getting hit by these traps?
