Greetings and welcome to all concerned. First off, if you are not a player in this game please Do not post in this thread! If you are interested in becoming part of this game of Genestealer check out the main Survivor forum for a Registration Thread.

ATTENTION PLAYERS
There have been a few rules changes - to sum them up in a tl/dr fashion - there will be at least three genestealers, not two. You do not need to unvote. Day Phase now has a two week deadline. night Phase now has a 48 hour deadline. At the time of deadline the player with the most votes on him will be lynched even if the needed majority has not been reached. I also made the prodding system deadlines a little shorter - please just try to post at least once a day and all will be well.(all rules changes are included with more explanation below)

=========================
=========================
=========================

Okay FOR THE PLAYERS! Your roles will be sent to you via PM. All roles were decided by me via the use of random.com (for all your random number generation needs). I will verify that there is at least one pro-town role (like an Inquisitor or Doctor) and that there are THREE Genestealers in your midst one of whom might be a Magus. I decided that with fifteen players the evil bugs might need a helping hand.

Rules

Votes

1) Votes must be in bold, if you do not bold your vote it will not be counted. This is a good vote - Vote: Gwar! this is a not good vote - Vote:Gwar!.

2) I no longer require that you unvote - but I certainly don't mind if you do.

3) Lynching will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, their pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. Thus, as soon as any player has a majority vote that player will be lynched and all subsequent voting does not count. Feel free to post other thoughts while waiting for the lynch scene if you desire. With 7 alive 4 votes are required to lynch. With 3 alive, 2 votes would be required. Ect. ect.

4) You may vote: no lynch. If No Lynch is the majority votes at any time then the day will end with no lynch and move on to the night phase.

5) Vote counts will be tabulated and posted by me at semi-regular intervals or when requested.


Deadlines

1) I will be enforcing a fixed two week Day Phase deadline. All Night Phases have a 48 hour deadline. Deadlines will be counted from the Moderator (my) story posts that will initiate each day and night phase.

2) If deadline is reached and no player has a needed majority of votes, the player with the most votes currently on them will be lynched (so it's possible to have a lynch with only one vote). In the event of a tie the player who reached that number of votes first will be lynched.

3) If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you. If you do not submit a choice to me then nothing will happen... at all... not even a little bit.


Posting

1) The game is not to be discussed outside the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so – and then only during Night Phase. Honor system is in effect.

2) Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing. A single “Bah, you fools!” type post is allowable, but no more please.

3) No small or invisible text. Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts either. Secret codes worked into your regular text are allowable. Going back and editing a post may be grounds for disqualification from the game based on my whim.

4) Don’t quote any PMs from me. If you do, I will be most unhappy. Do not metagame by using any part of role PMs to figure out what roles others may or may not have (i.e. 'everyone post the third letter from the second line of their role PM') Any such metagame activity will result in a modkill (in other words, I'll declare you dead and the game will move to the next phase)

5) If you anticipate being unavailable for more than 2 days, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.

6) Game Mods are human (allegedly), if I make a mistake please PM me I will rectify the mistake as soon as I can.

7) Please bold anything you want me to see.. Also, please try to avoid bolding anything else to ensure I DO see the ones I need to.

Prods aka 'That guy hasn't posted in a while'

1)A player will get prodded if they have been inactive for two real life days.

2)Weekends count as one day. (ie If your last post is on a Thursday you will not be prodded till the Monday following)

3) If you do not pick up your prod/post in game within 24 hours of it being sent I will replace you.

4) Please post in game if you are going to be unavailable for more than 48 hours.

Misc

Remember, it’s a game and it’s supposed to be fun. Be nice to your fellow players.

If you have a problem in game please PM me to discuss it.

The rules can and will be edited at any point if I deem it necessary.

Breaking the rules can be bad for your health, I reserve the right to modkill for serious/repeated naughtiness.

Story Post to follow this post - and role PMs will be sent out momentarily as well.

==============================================================================
First Story Post - start of Day 1 - start of two week timer
==============================================================================

"This is it, dig you fools, dig!"

The heat of the decaying Jungle swelters around you in shimmering waves and swarms of insects seem to cling to you like a second skin. When you'd signed on to this archaeology expedition as a guard you really hadn't expected to be stuck digging through the thick, clay-like, earth like any menial servitor. Still...you glance over your shoulder at the mass grave that marks the remains of the rest of the expedition, at least you're better off then some.

"Dig, dig faster!" The shrill voice belongs to Lady Gona' Di - the First, who was the financial backer for this operation. When the porters and other menial servants had all died in strange animal attacks over the last few days it had been she who had promised to triple your wages if all of you would only pick up shovels and keep working. Of course, if you had to listen to her order you to somehow dig quicker one more time you were pretty sure you would just smack her upside the head with a shovel and consequences be damned. "Dig you wretches! I will have the archeotech from this temple or I will have someone's head!"

You're busy getting a solid grip on your shovel as you turn towards the noblewoman when suddenly one of your fellows shouts out in surprise. His pick breaking apart a wall of hard packed earth to reveal a vast temple door. Just looking at the thing fills you with a marked sense of unease and you and the others ease back from the strange almost organic seeming symbols carved upon the structure. Lady Gona'Di clearly has no such worries as she squeals in pleasure as she bounds up to the structure.

"At last! Soon the secrets that those Eldar fools sealed away here will be mine!" She frowns as she turns to you all and begins to imperiously order you to begin the demolition work to open the doors. Thankfully you are all spared any continued screeching from the harpy as the blessed sight of the sun slipping down below the horizon signals the coming of night. Sticky with sweat and caked in the thick orange soil you exhaustedly stumble back to your tent and into a blissful slumber. You awaken in the morning to the soft hum of a light drizzle of rain splattering against your tent. You stumble out to join the others, making your way away from the tents and towards the large central areea of the camp where the food lodge was set up. Even as you near the doors you hear a shout of alarm. Grabbing out your laspistol you turn and sprint towards the insta hab structure that lady Gona'Di had arranged for herself. In moments the rest of the camp joins you and you all discover the grisly scene inside.

Lady Gona'Di is quite dead, torn limb from limb and with her entrails strung up like some perverse decoration from the rafters.

"Everyone, look here, tracks!"
"Those aren't animal tracks, that's a human footprint!"
"Ain't nothing human did that to the Lady."
"It's some sorta xenos Genestealer hybrid bug, we all saw those types of wounds before."
"Yeah, those suckers can fake looking human."

Agreeing on what type of prey you face you all grab out your weapons and follow the tracks - three pairs of matched boots, some of them still stained with blood from the murder. You slosh through the rain and the jungle, battering aside broad leaves coated in sticky stinging fronds as you force your way back to...the sleeping tents.

All of you glance at each other and the realization seeps in. There are fifteen armed and dangerous people here, and three of them are cold blooded murderers. You realize it would be foolish to start a gunfight as no one would know who to trust, and it's going to be a few days before the evac transport arrives to pick you all up from this uncivilized desolation of a planet. You all quickly agree that you need to investigate each other with questions and democratically choose who it is who should die - in death hopefully you can figure out who is human and who is some xenos beast disguised as a human.

All you know for sure, is you can only trust yourself.


It is Day 1, with fifteen alive it will take eight to lynch.

A Guard? Or a GuardBearPig? *squint suspiciously*

"It's ManBearPig, and if you don't take the imminent threat of it serially, then we are ALL doomed."

"Gentlemen, be reasonable!" I yell clutching my laspistol tightly. "This was not the work of some man bear pig, This is work of something far more sinister genestealers, so would you please stop being so foolish their kind lives to prey off foolishness."

"You how ever, have struck me as odd from the moment we landed here." I say gesturing with me free hand towards EF.

VOTE: EF

Greetings,

Just dropping in with an early vote count so you can see how the dynamics of the auto-lynch at deadline rule will work. i will always include a notation about who would be lynched if deadline were to be hit with the current voting situation. I will try to do a vote update once every two days or whenever requested by a player.

(OOC: I thought the rules were if no one had the majority of people voting for them(8 atm) then no one would be lynched)

"BrotherStyner, would it, or would it not, be possible that ManBearPig could be in cohoots with the JeanStealers?"

OOC:: It's a rule change to better handle the enomorous number of people in the game.

Drk_Oblitr8r wrote:(OOC: I thought the rules were if no one had the majority of people voting for them(8 atm) then no one would be lynched)

You would have been correct except that I have altered the rules for this game. It is all described in the first post with the rules, there is an addendum notice in bold at the very beginning of the post that briefly notes all the rules I changed.

"I doubt it would be possible, the stealers would just kill the creature. Now could we please cut with the crap, this is serious."

"Stynier, you seem agitated and quickly dissmissive of Manbearpig. If we are to investigate who could potentially be Xenos, then we should investigate every possible theory, instead of 'cutting the crap'. Only a Xeno or ManBearPig would be against thorough investigation. Unvote:RustyKnight Vote:BrotherStynier What large teeth you have Stynier, all the better to eat us with?"

"You find me suspicious do to my wanting to keep our investigation grounded in reality rather than fictional creatures? So be it, I can live with being distrusted over something that matters not to our ordeal."

"I agree that we should keep our investigation in the realm of fact, rather than to go cashing after this fictitious beast. Perhaps you are trying to lead us away from the reality of the matter Drk-Oblitr8r, Perhaps you would like us to go after this fictional creature while the foul xenos that killed Lady Gona'Di stalk among us."

BrotherStynier wrote:"You find me suspicious do to my wanting to keep our investigation grounded in reality rather than fictional creatures? So be it, I can live with being distrusted over something that matters not to our ordeal."

"Well, the footprints are clearly human in origin, but the wounds clearly are nothing that could be done by a human. I would rather we investigate the possibility of a ManBearPig creature, over investigating my fellow Imperial Citizens. Anywrong decision we make will have us killing an innocent person. I personally want to avoid this."

"Yet your own illustration of the creature had hooves, not human feet. So how is it possible that the creature you put foreword as the culprit, could have made footprints instead of hoof marks?"

-squints-

"I think that you are trying to lead us away from the truth of the matter, there is something strange about your insistence of the creatures existence."

My illustration is merely an example. But alas, if you feel that you feel that my violent death at your hands will help find the culprit, then go ahead and murder me. But all it will get you is help to narrow down the list of suspects, leading the skew to the Xenos. I want the Genestealers dead, even if it means I die to help the process of elimination.

Unvote: BrotherStynier

I feel that n0t_u's name is the answer to his loyalty. Who is an Imperial Citizen n0t_u? Not you.

RustyKnight you are odd. I vote for thee.

-Que music-

"Fifty!"

-Stop music-

"I trust noone who uses a number as his name, scummy indeed"

Vote:Fifty

Drk_O could be on to something here...but Deff Dread is right. The creature has hooves. Not feet.

I am afraid that if there is indeed a ManBearPig, then it is not the creature that is stalking us. No, it IS the genestealers which are behind this. I'm super SERIAL!

*Seanron sighs, and loosens his arms in a circular motion, not having worked them out properly from the work the day before. His augmetics had started to seize up in the damn dust, and the sudden murder of the teams benefactor simply added to his ever growing list of regrets. He looked from member to member, his heavy Aug-shades whiring as he took in the scene*

If we're all done being stupid, I'd say you should all calm the gak down. None of us is a stranger to death or the grisly, so stop yammering like Hive-Princesses drunk on amesac.

This was done by 'stealers, more specifically, some scum-wads in cahoots with 'stealers. Right barmy lot they are too...and right now there is one of us barmier than my Mother when she was on the stims...

VOTE: Dark_Oblitr8r

If you're telling us all to calm down, why would you jump on the Drk_O bandwagon?

UNVOTE: RustyKnight
VOTE: Dark Lord Seanron

Cause he's acting like a prissy-missy who just had her briches felt up by a randy runtling, that's why!

I'm just callin' it like I see's it...

Why are we standing over the body argueing? Why have we not dumped the corpse and moved onto a secure steel room?

"Because that is heresy! We must stand over the corpse and yell loudly until the Genesteallers become annoyed and try to attack. Then they will be killed by our mighty Lasguns. At least my handbook says that the Lasgun is really strong. Besides it also says that they have stubby little claws, our Flak Armour will save us" replied a nearby Commissar. He stepped forward and adjusted his hat before peering down at the body. "This Manbearpig you're talking about, could he infact be a new tyranid evolution... Maybe the conscript is telling the truth, but then why would he know what it looks like and still be alive? Also how is everyone so sure it was actually a Genestealler, it could infact be a heretic with a knife" continued Commissar Ackart. He looked at the others with his hand near his Bolt Pistol, ready to perform a summary execution if the culprit suddenly charged at him. "Perhaps he is still here now". He quickly turned around and pointed at Drk_Oblitr8r.

"You question a commissar? My name is not this n0t_u, it is Ace Ackart" said Commissar Ackart, pointing at Drk_Oblitr8r. "Explain!"
Vote Drk_Oblitr8r

"What are you on about Ferret?"

-I rub my eyes in tired frustration and then continue-

"We're in the middle of the jungle, theres no body insight. We also have much more pressing matters to attend to then getting out of this light down pour and into a nice and cosy pre-fab shelter. I also don't think it would be an extremely good idea crowding us in a small room like that, with those...those things about, they'd pick us off quick, judging from what they did to Lady Gona'Di they have some pretty nasty claws or knives or whatever that they could use to great effect in such a small space. Perhaps that was your plan though, trap us in a small room, bar the doors and slaughter us like grox in an abattoir, was that your plan Ferret?"

Of course it was! Why you couldn't have said it better if I said it for you. *turns to the others* Idiot.

Techpriest Mekboy turns towards Dark O.

Translation:
Vote: Dark Oblit
It does not compute that Dark Oblit would try and jump on someone who already has a vote on them.

OOC:: Can we get a vote count really quick? I show 5 on Dark_O.

Everyone, we need to calm down for a second and be careful about throwing votes around. Remember there are 3 traitors, so we must make sure not to underestimate how many votes they can put on an innocent.

I agree that Dark_O's behavior is somewhat crazy given our situation, but is that enough to lynch him? I think everyone should try to clearly articulate why they suspect someone enough to vote for that person (Dark_O or anyone).

Mekboy wrote:Translation:

And yet you do exactly that...

I have given my reason. He did not.

But, anyway, Unvote: Dark Oblit. If the genestealers among us have not voted yet, they could all vote now for Drk O, potentially killing an innocent and ending the day phase. I calculate that this would not be a good thing. In future, I will be less rash. Emotions are human, not machine.

Naturally to those uneducated or without knowledge of the glory of the Omnimessiah, it would appear that the majesty of machines is almost xenos sorcery. However, have you not heard of the crime of Tech-Heresy? It is generally well known that the punishment for carrying xenos technology is death. Beside, why hide your face my friend? Dare you not show your face because, in fact, you are a genestealer? Either way, it is clear that your comment is somewhat... irrelevant.

"I trusted a tin can once, it was the head of the xenos on a ship. {OOC: game 1, Dark Lord Seanron} It turned out, that can had xenos in it. My face, it is gone now. I can't feel pain. I am apart of the chapter; Shadow Ghosts. Many of them do not feel pain.

Wait, what?

Wow, you Shadow Ghosts must be great at disguises to pretend to be normal humans. Were do you hide that extra two feet of hight?

Besides, how did you get off a xenos infested ship alive? No doubt you've been infected without realising. Or maybe even worse...

I have seen it. I was far away at that time. A fellow shadow ghost has fallen on that ship. It was coming to Holy Terra, we stopped them. The clean-up was messy *looks at his bolter on his side* The shadow ghosts are the most unknown chapter. They excel at stealth.

That still doesn't explain why you're so short for supposedly being a space marine. Also, having searched my memoery banks (google), it appears that 'execrate' means to hate or abhor. Please explain?

ok to put a random vote out

It's a jungle. Scary things live in jungles. Ergo, people dieing in jungles isn't all that mad.

Adjusting my M39 Field cap I glance around at my gathered fellows, the jungle heat messing with their heads, causing delusions that weren't there in the previous days or at least I had not noticed them.

"Ackert," I call out. "Just because you were a Commissar prior to this doesn't mean you still are. When the lot of us chose to work for the Lady we became Mercenaries. Don't let this jungle heat get to you."

I look to the man child claiming to be a member of the Adeptus Astartes, I place a Ilho stick between my lips and light it, after taking a long draw I speak, "You a member of the Astartes? I seriously doubt that, I've seen them before, not up real close or anything but close enough and you ain't no Astartes."

Listen up guys l, and this is from an Ichar IV veteran, these blighters can turn invisible and poison water when you're not looking, keep your canteens locked. Also, spray lots of insect repellent. Those tirinids are just big bug so it follows don't it?

Unvote: Drk_O, Vote: Lord of the Ghosts

Hey Lord-Loss, why did you vote for me just 'cos I am not important enough to get a proper name?! Just because I only warrant a number, it doesn't mean I don't love the Emperor! I'm a regular citizen, and I don't wanna get lynched! And I certainly don't wanna get hacked to bits by any xenos scum! Anyway, Lord-Loss, that sounds a bit uppity for a regular citizen. Maybe you are xenos scum with delusions of grandeur? (Damn, I hope not, that would mean all of the alien filth might start ganging up on me...)

Anyway, I am waaaaay glad you saw sense and changed your vote to that Mekboy chap. No idea if he is xenos scum or not, but it sure is odd how he thought everything up to that point was normal!

(ooc, also, I think Lord-Loss forgot to unvote me before he voted again)

Mind you, I am not sure about "Dark Lord Seanron" either... that sounds a bit suspect to me as well... I bet that is a xenos thing too!

Vote: Dark Lord Seanron

((ooc, Ah, and just noticed the rule change saying no need to unvote...))

Meh, I just think it helps to clear things up, so that we don't have people getting multiple votes on several others.

I turn to face my accuser, taking another puff from my Ilho stick a slight grin on my face. The absurdness of his claim amusing. "Genestealers cannot turn invisible nor do they poison water, these ones we are up against these cultists can how ever make themselves look like us. How do I know this you ask?" I adjust the strap of my lasgun as I feel the eyes of several upon me. "Prior to this glamorous life of being a soldier of fortune I served in a very special Elysian Regiment. You seem to think I am shiftying the blame, when I have not blamed since EF, I've simply stated I've seen the Astartes before and Ghosts is not an Astartes."

Emperors Faithful wrote:Meh, I just think it helps to clear things up, so that we don't have people getting multiple votes on several others.

But it also prevents any confusion if someone forgets to unvote before they cast a vote. I agree that it potentially serves a purpose. But, in the past I found that I never really needed an unvote from people to help me keep votes straight and I see no reason to obligate people to 'unvote' as part of the rules. As I said, I appreciate it when people do it - but I'm not requiring it like I used to. Thus far I haven't had any problems, but I'm still testing out the new method to see how it works.

Emperors Faithful wrote:Drk_O could be on to something here...but Deff Dread is right. The creature has hooves. Not feet.

I am afraid that if there is indeed a ManBearPig, then it is not the creature that is stalking us. No, it IS the genestealers which are behind this. I'm super SERIAL!

I feel you are right. If there is a ManBearPig involved, I would definately consider the notion of it also being a Genestealer at this point in time.

If we're all done being stupid, I'd say you should all calm the gak down. None of us is a stranger to death or the grisly, so stop yammering like Hive-Princesses drunk on amesac.

This was done by 'stealers, more specifically, some scum-wads in cahoots with 'stealers. Right barmy lot they are too...and right now there is one of us barmier than my Mother when she was on the stims...

Dark Lord Seanron, I accept your compliment. Well, I think it was anyway. I look forward to seeing some of your augments go to work on a ManBearPig/Genestealer.

At least my handbook says that the Lasgun is really strong. Besides it also says that they have stubby little claws, our Flak Armour will save us" replied a nearby Commissar. He stepped forward and adjusted his hat before peering down at the body. "This Manbearpig you're talking about, could he infact be a new tyranid evolution... Maybe the conscript is telling the truth, but then why would he know what it looks like and still be alive? Also how is everyone so sure it was actually a Genestealler, it could infact be a heretic with a knife" continued Commissar Ackart. He looked at the others with his hand near his Bolt Pistol, ready to perform a summary execution if the culprit suddenly charged at him. "Perhaps he is still here now". He quickly turned around and pointed at Drk_Oblitr8r.

"You question a commissar? My name is not this n0t_u, it is Ace Ackart" said Commissar Ackart, pointing at Drk_Oblitr8r. "Explain!"

Calm down, your violence is violent. I implore you n0t_u, apply logic to something. If you don't the ManBearPig/Genestealers will win, and you will die.

You are right gornall. I should not change my vote often. Vote: Mekboy

Changing votes is not a bad thing. Changing them without stating "why" is... Everyone simply needs to start giving reasons why they're voting the way they are.

Myself, I haven't voted yet as I'm letting everyone calm down before making any judgements. However, I'm still a little leery of Mekboy as he piled onto a pretty fast moving vote train early on without giving a reason, but the second he was challenged, he backed off, almost as he was trying to appease me.

"Yes, Mekboy has seemed quite odd hasn't he?" I ask rubbing my chin.

When has odd been a bad thing? My vote stands as is though.

I have defended my honour, not run around like a headless chicken. Which is certainly more than you can say. It seems to me that you are either a fool panicking, or a genestealer hoping for a smokescreen.

I honestly don't know how to adress BroStynier, as he has not, as yet, actually offered me a question or valid reason that he finds me suspicious. (Apart from my reluctance to completely forget the threat of ManBearPig)

I speak what I beleive to be the truth so that it may help my fellow Innocent Imperials catch the Genestealers. If I die, then so be it, what I say and do will live on.

My ManBearPig theory is not an arguement. ManBearPig, Genestealers, whatever. Something wants to kill us. I want to kill it before it does.

Your manbearpig was a ruse to lure people away and not a a very good one.

Away from what? Hunting the hunters?

*I walk up from behined, my pride still hurt from being called an idiot*

BrotherStynier wrote:"Why yes, you seemed to try and lure us away from hunting the genestealers... Or perhaps it was some sort of code to them?"

A search for ManBearPig would undoubtibly lead to Genestealers.

A hunt for the hunters would find a hunter. ManBearPig and Genestealers are both hunters.

However, by hunting hunters, we become hunters ourselves.

I find your explanation amusing.

But you avoiding my accusation is not so endearing. What were you trying to achieve with the 'beating of the dead horse' (aka ManBearPig theory)

the_ferrett, You admitted to feeling safe, directly after saying that the filthy Xeno should be feeling safe.

Under your own opinion, you are a Genestealer, so I am merely borrowing your opinnion.

I said, for thoust uncouth ones, that I wish I was a genestealer because then I wouldn't be wondering who was one.

"The mere thought of wishing to be a xenos is heresy beyond belief!"

So wanting to survive is heresy?

"When survival mean cohorting with xenos yes.

Then you long to be a filthy Xeno, you empathise with the enemy. My vote stands.

"Wanting to survive, no that is far from heresy. It is a thing in each man, it is our innate desire to do as such that ensures the propogation of our species. However, the means by which we do it, that could be heretical, and wishing to be a xenos is almost the worst of the lot!"

Then lynch me, just know that if you do you waste your vote.... waste your vote well.

I am still the most voted for innocent civillian.

I implore those who are voting against me to reconsider your proposal against me. I want to root out these Genestealers as much as the majority of us here, and if I am killed, the Genestealers will have a better chance at winning.

"If you are a loyalist and die you have nothing to worry about, your death will help narrow down suspects and your sacrifice will be remembered by the Emperor."

But, that doesn't matter right now, we have more important things to figure out. We have to find the traitors and purge them" said Commissar Ackart.

BrotherStynier wrote:"If you are a loyalist and die you have nothing to worry about, your death will help narrow down suspects and your sacrifice will be remembered by the Emperor."

I dont believe his story for a second. *spits* and I dont like the way he looks. Awfully scummy indeed.

"Well Ackart, I do not think a strategically important asset such as a Commissar would be wisely used on some nobles trip to get rich." I hold out my pack of Ilho sticks to the former Commissar after removing another for myself. "We should remove targets by luring out the scum but our chances of getting the scum with out opening fire on everyone are slim."

If we stand a chance of defeating these foul xenos, prehaps we should consider removing outer layres of clothing in order to display any mutations of these genestealers.

"Silence fellows, we're all ex-gaurd. No one holds any rank. A commissar you may have been, n0t_u, but no longer. Ranks mean nothing here. They'll kill us just the same."

Dark_O. My vote against you stands. It seems to me like you were trying to encourage the hysteria a bit too much.

I voted for LotG as claiming to be an Adeptes Astartes is just a moronic thing (OOC: Almost as bad as claiming to be a commissar in order to try and get some authority).

(OOC: As for randomness, isn't that what's supposed to happen in the random voting stage?)I've only voted twice; first for acting bizarre (manbearpig) and second for pretending to be an astartes. That's hardly back and forth.

BrotherStynier wrote:"If you are a loyalist and die you have nothing to worry about, your death will help narrow down suspects and your sacrifice will be remembered by the Emperor."

Would you care to sacrifice yourself for the good of the group then? Or are you a 'stealer trying to lure us into complacency as you kill us off one by one? Your sentiment, that death is not to be feared, is true, yet isn't it true that as more of us die, the more likely it is that 'stealer will be able to overpower the remaining members of the group?

Unvote: LotG
In any case, LotG's temporary madness seems to have passed, and I can't see a 'stealer being foolish enough to try and bring attention to themselves by claiming to be an astartes. Course, that logic would also apply to n0t_u as well. On my temporary list of suspects that leaves:

2. Vulkan_He'stan (vowing not to die Day 1)
3. Mekboy (glutton for punishment)
5. BrotherStynier (usually up for it)
6. Def Dread red Edition (no longer timid war machine)
7. Fifty (numerical superiority for the win)
8. Emperor's Faithul (probably ready to accuse me of being scum again)
10. Drk_O (I refuse to deal with typing out the whole name)
11. the_ferrett (with a trustworthy name like that, he'll go far)
12. ginger_nid_dude (prepare for an acronym in your future)
13. Lord-Loss (fresh off modding his own successful game)
14. Dark Lord Seanron (trying to escape the basement)
15. Gornall (laid back and loving life)

"Only if we are hasty with our decisions of who is to die and who is to live, by studying our fellows and their actions we can avoid too many unnecessary deaths. You ask if I am willing to sacrifice myself for the good of the group? Well considering I have already laid my life on the line for you and the Imperium countless times prior I can't see how doing it once more can be any different."

Ackart removes his Bolt Pistol from it's holster only to reveal that it is actually just a wooden model of one. "I guess I just miss the good old days...." he said staring at nothing.
He pulls a Laspistol out of his pocket and places it into the holster, the wooden Bolt Pistol model is put into the pocket.

"The regiment I was with was almost completely wiped out in one battle against the foul Xenos, the Necrons... None of us were allowed back into military service, they deemed that the battle would have driven us insane. I am fortunately one of the few that managed to escape without going insane. But, that's only because I was with the commanding squad. We stayed at the back marching man after man to the silver wave of death. All of them ripped apart, first the flesh disappeared until the bones were visible then they disintegrated and vanished as well. The last few remaining platoons were ordered to march forward while we retreated to bombard the battlefield. I had to perform summary executions on at least 34 Guardsmen... We got back to our ship and set the planet on fire... But at the cost of many innocent Guardsmen" said Ackart, the others had gathered to listen to story time.

"Now I just have this job cause I need the money.." said Ackart, taking a drink from a bottle he kept in his coat.

OOC: All too often these games trail off from the story aspect almost completely, I'm trying to keep it from doing that. Also makes it a bit more interesting.

You are not the only one who has escaped an encounter with the foul xenos. On Ichar IV, I saw good men lose their minds with the incomprehensible creatures of the tyranids. My brothers in arms were slaughtered like cattel by the abominations, I could never turn to them as allies.

I even killed a tirinid warrior with my bare hands. Hence my nickname.

OOC: I spell it tirinid to show contempt for the creatures

((@RustyKnight))

Huh, so you remove people from your list of suspects for talking crazy talk, and leave me on it because I seem halfway to approaching sane?! So, even if you logic works (which I doubt), and you somehow manage to get some xenos filth lynched, you want to only leave crazy people alive to serve the Emperor?

Still, better to save mad humans than sane aliens, I guess...

It is a bit of a bold claim for ginger_nid_dude that he killed a tyranid warrior with his bare hands. Aren't they huge rending creatures of death and agony? More likely he was spared because he was carrying the filthy seed of some other xenos filth of that kind.

I would consider changing my vote, except LORD-LOSS still did not respond to anything I said to him. Consider yourself under suspicion though, "nid".

My vote stood because we are sitll only halfway through the first phase and you had not responded to me. Nevermind.

How can your vote have been random? You said it was because I had a number not a name?! You are as crazy as the others! Of course I am nervous! What sane person wouldn't be, with these monsters running around and the threat of being lynched?

We've got to find these aliens, and you are still picking me based on my name. I suggest we both take a closer look at someone truly suspicious, and put a bit of pressure on that "nid" chap?

Vote: ginger_nid_dude

And I'll bet you now make some comment about how as soon as I am put under pressure I buckle, but I just want to find these damned killers in our midst, and I have more reason to think he is one than you, even though you have some strange ideas.

Fifty, Fifty?!?!

What kind of name is that sounds more like a tally of kills to me!

It seems BrotherStynier and N0t_u have gotten pretty friendily quickly, could they be working together, that sounds suspicous to me.

OOC: Just because we're not arguing the fun out of the game on the first day doesn't mean we're suddenly working together

At the risk of making myself a target, I slightly disagree with your assessment. RVS is definately important and gets votes started. However, after the first few random votes, hopefully some rhyme and reasoning to the votes comes in, providing evidence. Random for the sake of random doesn't help anything. The RVS votes are just as much evidence as any other vote, as I bet the genestealers will try to use "random" votes to either get people lynched or to look like they are not cooperating with other genestealers.

I mean, dont say "Mr (inset name here) voted for 5 people at the begining of the game, that is suspicous!"

Lord-Loss wrote:I mean, dont say "Mr (inset name here) voted for 5 people at the begining of the game, that is suspicous!"

I reserve the right to call that suspicious, as it could be a ploy by the traitors to make the voting patterns harder to follow by throwing lots of votes around. Yes, it could also simply be someone freaking out and panicing, but thats a decision we each have to make when trying to interpret the actions of others.

I have voted for Fifty and N0t_u, its the RVS, now if someone used those votes against me if they were trying to convince people I was a genestealer then that would be wrong.

I would argue that people shouldn't make votes they can't back up with evidence... even if that evidence is "It's the RVS stage!". How much credence people give to that evidence is up to them.

sorry about no posts internet is rubbish need a new one!!!
Vote:lord loss
as he seems to be very quick to post
this is by no means my final vote

Gornall, later in the game people shouldnt use the votes people do in the RVS to prove a point like;they have a unusual voting pattern, or they have a constantly changing opinion.

Sorry... I simply disagree with you on that. In my mind, any vote beyond the first "random" vote should be driven by something. Let's be honest, short of going "Eny, meany, miny, mo", even that random vote is likely driven by something. It might be that "so and so hasn't been voted for yet" or "I think he's talking too much", but it probably has somethign behind it. If the votes in the RVS "can't" be used against people later on, then the RVS is a waste of time.

Every vote, every word, every action is important.

Huh, so you remove people from your list of suspects for talking crazy talk, and leave me on it because I seem halfway to approaching sane?! So, even if you logic works (which I doubt), and you somehow manage to get some xenos filth lynched, you want to only leave crazy people alive to serve the Emperor?

Still, better to save mad humans than sane aliens, I guess...

I removed two people for the time being, and only did so in order to try and figure out who to vote for next. If either of the two I removed act suspiciously, they'll go right back onto the list. You're still on the list as I haven't seen you do anything that makes me think its unlikely that you're a 'stealer.

So between a failed commissar, a man who claims to be strong enough to have killed a Tyranid warrior with his bare hands, and a member of the astartes, is their anyone here willing to not make up lies about their past? I am a deserter. Plain and simple. I watched my homeworld burn and decided that I wasn't going to be used as a disposable bullet shield for some Inquisitor to play his games. My home wasn't even killed by the 'nids; some hotshot Inquisitor bombed it from orbit 'cause of his fear of a leech cult. Wouldn't even let us go down to the surface to try to hunt the foul creatures down. The bastard then had the nerve to thank us for a job well done.

Lord Loss, I would like you to fully explain what it is exactly that you find so suspicious about Fifty. (Try some qoutes maybe?)

As for now, I just forget Drk_O's insanity at the moment and do this to add a bit of pressure on you.

Vote: Lord Loss

No reason as of yet. Just not planning to have noone voted for when we all make our final decision. So seemed like as good as any at that time. Still trying to work out how the tricksy bugs are playing us before I start ganging up on anyone.

OOC: If that's the case I'll save it to put it out in a heretic's eye.

Gornall in the random voting stage, the votes are 'random' So there is no proper reason for those 'random votes'. How else would you get discussion started.

EF: My votes for Fifty was random, so was my vote for N0t_u. We are still in (and close to leaving) the random voting stage.

Example: If someone was trying to prove I was a genestealer and they said "at the begining of the game, Lord-Loss voted for two people and he didnt have a proper reason why"

That would be wrong, because this early in the game you cant say: Vote fifty (insert detailed answer here with evidence) because there is no evidence...

Lord-Loss wrote:I mean, dont say "Mr (inset name here) voted for 5 people at the begining of the game, that is suspicous!"

Saying, "It's still random" is not enough of an excuse (which is why I'm looking at both you and Dark_O) This sort of behaviour leads to both a difficulty to track voting patterns (and yours seem quite erratic) and perhaps an attempt to throw others off the trail and cuase all round panic and hysteria.

Chose a person and stick to them if you really cannot chose yet.

OOC: Also you could look at who they didn't vote for in order to help place them as an ally for any Genesteallers we might find. It won't work now that I said it, but it's something to remember anyway.

Unless you knew people would think this and therefore realized that you and he could act friendly to each other. Or you both made a mistake in acting so openly friendly towards each other.

In life, a bluff sometimes works. A double bluff, occassionally works. The moment you go triple or more you are officially overthinking it and should go find the rest of us pizza. I'm hungry.

There's no rhyme or reason to whats goin' on right now, but it's a start...

"If life gives you lemons make lemonade.
And if life gives you diabetes don't make lemonade

lemon marines bad for diabetes."

Everyone should unvote Drk_0, this is playing into the Genestealers hands! A short day 1 is bad for the loyalist and good for the genestealers. Lets make a proper decision as a group instead of this!

Then again Lord-Loss, you could be saying that to bail out your fellow 'stealer colleagues.

*shakes head solemnly*

There isn't enough to go on right now to make a 'proper decision'. We do this and we learn from it!

"Or perhaps it is that you are a genestealer, trying to protect one of your foul xenos brethren."

I agree with Lord Loss in that it is too early to drop the hammer on Dark_O. However, that is different than saying he is innocent. Guilty or not, we should take our time and discuss this, as even if he is a genestealer, we still have to find the other two.

Dark Lord, sounds like your a genestealer trying to drop a hammer on someone early in the game!

The longer the days last, the more talking we get in, the more evidence we have that X person is a genestealer etc. Dropping the hammer early is a very, very bad thing to do.

I'm getting lost. Maybe everyone could explain their votes again? I don't see any really convincing arguments yet, so I am not sure how to finally vote...

Fifty wrote:I'm getting lost. Maybe everyone could explain their votes again? I don't see any really convincing arguments yet, so I am not sure how to finally vote...

Amen. Everyone needs to justify their votes and slow the pace a little bit. If you switch your vote before anyone can react, then it did absolutely no good. Give your reasons, vote, get reactions back, and change your vote if needed.

"Smart mutants would be hiding physical signs, as I believe we've already discussed." Producing a lighter from one of my BDU pockets I lean forward, lighting the former Commissar's Ilho. I turn to Gornall, his point valid, if its a reason for voting he wants I'll give him one. "My reasoning for voting for EF was entirely random, the one and only random vote you said yourself you'd allow with limited consequences later when it comes to voting. My second vote for Drk_O, is because of his insistence on a manbearpig being our culprit, he is either mad and delusional, or a xenos. Either way he's probably not someone we want running about with us in the jungle."

(EDIT: I had spelled hiding as hinding)

"I echo Stynier's statement, Drk_O's insistence that the ManBearPig was real added only more confusion to an already bewildering situation. He also snapped out of the madness(or atleast seemed to)in a strangely quick manner, which only heightened my supicions. So he is either a mad man , whom will only slow down our investigation. Yet perhaps he might be a xenos, hiding that very fact behined a cloak of madness."

Having watched this for a while I feel that while Drk_O is somewhat suspicious, there are other people who are more likely 'stealers.
Vote: Lord of the Ghost

He seemed somewhat eager to leap about and vote for anyone who voted for him. Not exactly the organised efforts of a normal citizen.

I would urge all to Unvote Drk_Oblit for now.

If you are a citizen then you will want the day to last longer. Quick lynching is scummy.

(OOC- Isn't that what killed the citizens last game?)
Unvote: Drk_O
At L-2, the 'stealers could quickly lynch him now, and it's too early for that. That said, his whole Manbearpig charade was...unusual to say the least.

*Looks at Vulkan*
"Lemonade? While there are Leech-hybrids in our midst? What's gotten into your head? The whispering tendril of a xenos, perhaps?"

Im not defending him or his actons. But that is terrible evidence as Drk_Obit already stated that it started out as a joke and went too far. Anyone who votes for Dark_Oblit now will be very high on my list of suspects.

Never mind

Why unvote Drk_O? He's still -2 of a lynch. I think you want us to take the pressure off him. And that makes you very, very suspicious.

It is not a Citizens duty to survive, but to catch genestealers. It is entirely possible that we will accidentally (or in the case of genestelars, purposefully) lynch a Citizen in the first round. With 15 people, the odds of catching a genestealer first day are not in our favour. However, that does not mean we lynch randomly. I am looking at Drk_O, who is the most suspicous for his scummy voting and posting.

I highly suspect a Drk_O/Lord Loss team up here. Lord Loss seems all to eager to take the pressure off Drk_O who STILL has not given a reasonable answer other than Deleted For Heresy. Not good enough. When he properly explains his attempts to spread confusion, then I may withdraw my vote but for now.

Vote: Drk_O

BTW, anyone who lynches Drk_O without giving himself a chance to explain himself is practically branding themselves a Genestealer. Let him offer a viable excuse before we take this any further.

(Thor, how long do we have until the deadline?)

EF: Because Drk_O is wayyy to close to a lynch. There are 3 genestealers (OOC:Thor told us, so lets have no crys of "OMG how do you know there are three genestealers!") so it would be easy for them to quickly kill Drk_Obilt now.

As I have already stated MORE TIME IS BETTER FOR THE IMPERIUM.

EF: Drk_Oblit has already explained that it was a joke that went too far. (OOC: This manbearpig thing is was just a joke that went too far, Its defintely not serious evidence)

I dont think there is any evidence againt Drk_Oblit apart from a joke that already has a explanation. Though I will be keeping a close eye on those who voted for Drk_Oblit now.

I don't need to hear the cries of the innocent to know what must be done.
I don't need to hear him speak his peace, nor the rest of you.
He is who he is, and my assumption is that he is very much civilian.
I just know that the dominoes will not fall until that first one is pushed.
Let us slow it down next round, let us think it through when we have something to think through.

Ferrett... I think you jump the gun. My count right now shows Dark_O at L-1, even after your vote. I'm with Lord Loss.... a rush to Dark_O is actually worse behavior than Dark_O's manbearpig rants. I'm sorry, trying to drop the hammer before we have exhausted all discussion (we have 11 days left) is playing into the Xenos hands. I don't care if Dark_O dies, but I argue that it can wait towards later in the day.

Ninja'd by Gornall.

EF seems very eager to lynch Drk_O. He says that anyone who lynches Drk_O without letting him explain is a heretic, yet he himself votes for Drk_O, leaving him two (now one) votes away from death. As LL said, I'm not trying to defend him, but the only way we citizens can surivive is to talk. Ending the day stops our talking, and gives the 'stealers time to play. And the evidence against Drk_O is mostly trivial.

At least allow Drk_O to explain his actions, and please everyone give some decent reason for voting him other than mention of a certain heretical creature.

Told you you wouldn't understand. That said, do you know any more about the stealers from my little excercise? I do.

Oh, so we don't want someone lynched because of nonsensical evidence, ergo we're 'stealers.

Hardly, that would make no sense. The experiment Ijust ran made perfect sense and led to evidence of innocense for one person.

Let me summarise what you just said.

"Let him not defend himself, for he is innocent,
Let us murder him, so that many more shall die,
Let us not think until afterwards."

I fear the fate of the innocent here, should you be allowed to continue to make suggestions.

In the name of the Emperor, I will STOP you from harming the innocent.
Vote: the_ferret

Ah. I may have jumped to conclusions here, Ferret. I was assuming something more direct.

The_Ferret just jumped onto my highly suspicous list which includes: Vulkan He'stan, Dark Lord Searon and The_Ferret.

Btw, Mekboy, should this experiment go haywire and I be the first to go, do you think I should state my evidence with my dying gasp, or giggle my way to the grave?

the_ferrett wrote:Told you you wouldn't understand. That said, do you know any more about the stealers from my little excercise? I do.

I know that I rank you as highly suspicious now. Attempting to drop a hammer (which I think you were because EF had miscounted in his vote where he last voted for Dark_O) is very scummy. However, I still feel that Lord Loss was a little overzealous in his defense of Dark_O, even if his motives could be completely benign. If we do lynch Dark_O today and he comes back guilty, then we know Lord Loss to be a prime next suspect. The important thing is that because we took some time to talk over this, we now have more information. We can still lynch Dark_O, but by drawing it out, we noticed that someone jumped to his defense. That's how this should work, we put pressure on people (for valid reasons) and see who defends who and who tries to throw other people under the bus. The more we do that, the better our chances of finding the traitors are.

Like I said. I dont defend him, but I dont think we should lynch someone so quickly. And before he had a chance to defend himself.

I'm seeing votes pile up on The_Ferret... so let's be careful that we don't trade one hasty lynch for another.

@Lord Loss:Wait, I do the exact opposite of what you told me to do, and I'm STILL not on you're most suspicious list? What do I need to do?

As for the_ferret, there are only 3 possible reasons he wanted a quick lynch on Drk_O.

1) He got bored. In this case he is a liablilty to the Imperial Cuase and a lynching will not hurt us too much.

2) He's a genestealer, acting swiftly in the hopes of a quick lynch, knowing he'd be first on the chopping block the next day. =Him in need of lynching.

3) By acting so rashly, he's drawing attention away from a possible Drk_O/Lord Loss alliance by sacrificing himself. =Him in need of lynching BUT we keep an eye on both Drl_O and Lord Loss in the future.

In any case I encourage the death of the_ferret.

*Draws sabre*

(OOC: ^_^" I'm having deijavu)

Poor me Gornall... Riddle me this, who are the two people who haven't voted more than twice? I may have missed one or two, there being 14 people speaking, but notice who has the shaking hands, the.... twitchy eyes and sum up, not who has voted for whom, but how often people vote. The surer the hand, the more deadly the scalpel.

As to exactly why then? That's for me to explain if you all go above... lets say 6 votes for me.

(OOC: I'll be away all today. Sorry for being a prick right before it)

EF, if we lynch The_Ferret its the same problem as Lynching Drk_Oblit, we want some solid evidence before a lynch and we want more discussion anyway.

So you're saying that people that vote only once are likey genestealers? Very possible, but you still fail in your defence. If you truly believe this, why not say so earlier instead of attempting to drop the hammer on Drk_O?

Ninja'd. My above post was at the_ferret.

Lord Loss: While Drk_O may have acted scummily with his attempt to increase panic (or not knowing when a joke has run it's course) the_ferret has made a very clear attempt to get a lynch without Drk_O defending himself.

There is not enough evidence for a good, clean lynch, but we are getting there. Even if you are 90% sure that someone is a genestealer, IMO its still better to keep discussion going. As it means there is more evidence to use versus other players you think are genestealers etc.

I think what he's saying is that those that are voting more are more suspicious, as they constantly change votes making it hard to keep track of them.

EDIT: Talking to EF about ferret.

Did you know that statistically it was, at my point of voting, impossible to get an 8th vote without being a genestealer and revealing a second genestealer as an ally. That said, my thought experiment has yielded surprising data, no convictions mind you, but the connections linking up....

That said. I, unlike most, find defending oneself t be a chore. You will not find me quoting your accusations and listing the semantics.

EDIT: Double Post AND ninja'd.

the_ferret. Your reference half-baked plots and connection are meaningless. Share them, or I'll be forced to disregard them as the ramblings of a fool/genestealer making a last gambit for his life.

He might just be an imperial citizen who wants to die. And he might be a 'stealer. There are too many 'if' and 'buts' for me. I think we should leave The_Ferret for now and focus some more on DLS. He seemed very eager to kill Dark_Oblit.

Speakin tongues is so much fun though, dear innocent EF. Did you realise you are entirely predictable? That you are entiirely clean and that you are entirely leading the group of 11 innocent survivors?

I'm 99.9% sure the_ferrett is a Genestealer, I will not change my vote until I am 99.91% sure that someone else is.

@Lord Loss: I see what you mean, but I am very much suspicous of your roaring defence for these two. Mayhaps you wish to simply draw our attention elsewhere?

Like it or not, what Lord Loss says is right. Hey, tell people who you are planning to vote for later, sure, but don't actually vote yet!

Even if we know someone is likely to get lynched, why do it so soon? We just deny ourselves time to find the 'stealers...

Of course, he might be trying to play the sensible citizen just to cast off the shadow of suspicion...

EF isnt leading us. We have no leader now The Lady is dead.

True. I'm not 'leading' anyone. How can I when I don't know who to trust?

Because in any group of larger than 2 there are leaders and followers. You have been elected leader, until your innocence is questioned that is.

He's right in a way. On the first day it's very unlikely that we're going to get a genestealer. The best we can do is act on our best guess and target the most suspicious. It's entirely possible that the_ferret, Drk_O or both are innocent, killing them will clarify that.

But I must say I am most perturbed by DLS calls for blood, without regards to evidence.

@the_ferret: I meant to get rid of a double post. In future however, I won't.

BTW, my top post was at Lord Loss.

Enough!
This twiddling fool has played his last riddle and made his last ploy! Off with his head!

I don't plan on being lynched. I've already stated the evidence that proves I can't be a genestealer doing genestealer type things. Working outside the hive mind, rare maybe but still. I am playing properly. I'm just less random flailing than you. I know ~2 innocent people with 76% certainty, I know my bets on one guilty although I have no proof, the only thing that makes what I've done "not fair" is I have never begged or worded my language such that I have professed my undying loyalty to some man on a throne in Terra. Tell me, what have I ever done that makes me so guilty looking? I won't defend it, but I am..... curious.

*sigh*
State it again. Hopefully in an understandable, clear cut, format so we dullards can understand.

BTW, you attempting to drop the Hammer on Drk_O made you look suspicous, you yourself stated you weren't interested in any defence he might have.

"Stating 'evidence' that shows you can't be a genestealer has little pull around here, despite attempting to let my actions be known I'm sure I'm high up on someone's suspect list. Yours perhaps? Undying loyalty to the Emperor? I renounced most of that when I left the Guard, as I'm sure most here have, but you claim none at all it seems. So who do you look to in dark times? I know I still speak to the emperor when things get ruff, but who do you turn to? The Ruinous Powers? Your Hive Mind?"

Agreed.

It is 11 days, 0 hours, 10 minutes until the Deadline, we have pleanty more time to discuss and think over who we should be lynching.

@Drk_O: Just becuase the_ferret offed you doesn't mean you should throw a retalitory vote back at him.

I doubt very much that the_ferret is a genestealer. A genestealer, in all honesty,probably wouldn't try such an obvious gambit. Heavens knows why the_ferret did what he did though...

Vote: Dark Lord Seanron

Emperors Faithful wrote:@Drk_O: Just becuase the_ferret offed you doesn't mean you should throw a retalitory vote back at him.

I wouldn't call my vote for him a retalitory vote. I would vote for anyone who would not give someone a chance to defend themselves. Whether it be you, RustyKnight, Lord-Loss or even BrotherStynier.

It is better that you concentrate on voting on suspected genestealers...but yes, you're right. My argument is that while the_ferret has made a very scummy move, I'm having difficulty believing that a genestealer would draw som much attention to himself. (And I to now believe that your ManBearPig theory was just a joke you wouldn't let die, not an actual attempt at a smokescreen, it's not exactly a prime genestealer plan either)

I'm more worried about those on the sidelines who are baying for blood, attempting to remain out of the spotlight while encouraging the lynching of another. This is why, looking back, it is Dark Lord Seanron who seems most suspicious.

lord loss earlier you said i was on your suspicious list care to say why???

"You have stated your case and for now anyway, I believe it Drk_O."

Unvote: Drk_O

"I do agree that it would be best to foster conversation for longer. My vote was, I must sadly say, merely out of annoyance."

You were on of the last to vote for Drk_Oblit, Vulkan that makes you suspicous.

OOC:
Unvote: Drk_O
Vote:Ferret

Were you suggesting that me not changing my vote is proof that I might be a Genestealler. Ever stop to think, before you're little rampage of elitism, that it might have been that the others didn't seem scummy enough to me and I logically voted for the most likely at the time. However, that has changed now, first you try to drop the hammer on someone who hasn't even bothered to try to defend themselves properly yet (although he might be a Genestealler it might have just been a failed joke). Which would lead to an early lynch leading to a greater chance at it being mistake. Also it would cut down day one a bit, this day is used to get a basic understanding of the other players; looking for signs of suspicion, patterns emerging before it's too late to react, etc.

Then it even looks like you're trying to plant the seeds of chaos, by trying to raise the hysteria of the group and sending us into panicked voting. Which always benefits the Genesteallers. Now I know you're "experiment" was originally set out to prove that some people are Genesteallers, but you have to remember that it is far to early to have any proof worthy of sharing with the others. At this point the only way to prove who is a Genestealler is to be a Genestealler. Your "experiment" did nothing but make you look more suspicious. You claim to know and even have proof who the possible Genesteallers are, but you do not share it with the loyalists so we can remove them, thus making you more suspicious again.

Looking back, Drk_O's suspicion was simply caused by his randomness. Your's is the first to have something more to back it up than just a guess.

n0t_u makes a good point. But I still find it hard to believe that a genestealer would make such an obvious and failed attempt at this kind of ploy. the_ferret should still explain himself though. Properly.

My experiment fails in the explanation part merely because it relied on gut feeling, people's reactions to false bravado and a fair deal of what I would do if I were innocent and I saw it done. It was a test to see whther Lord Loss and Emporer's Faithful would react the same way or opposite to what evidence has shown they act like. So yes, please excuse that that makes know sense and has no real ompha to anyone bar me. That said, yes they did act completely rationally and logically and as such its my personal opinion they are Imperial. Does this satisfy curiousity?

That was a bad expriment, a 'stealer could have started a uproar and get you lynched.

I'm very suspicious of the_ferret because of his actions trying to lynch Dark_O and also of DLS as he was egging the lynch on. I'm also still suspicious of Dark_O for being all over the place causing havoc. However, from my previous experiences with him in the camp, I would chalk that up to jungle fever more than anything. (OOC:: He did this in the last game he was in.)

There is one person that I feel to be fairly trustworthy at the moment, but I don't want to say anything that might make them a target.

As much as I feel the Drk_O may have been attempting to lead us in the wrong direction, it does seem he has a habit of these odd stories. So for now, I will UNVOTE: Drk_O but know I will revote you if it becomes necessary.

I am still interested that Dark Lord Seanron has not explained himself when I demanded he be called to account for his attempt to stir things up and egg on an early Drk_O lynch.

Lord Loss is against a quick lynch and seems to be the voice of reason amongst the Imperials (me being more zealous in the pursuit of genestleaers myself). As it is I trust him, his defence of the both Drk_O and the_ferret, both of which I am none too sure are genestealers, has won over my confidence.

@Lord Loss: I'm with you on this one, would you care to join me in adding pressure on Dark Lord Seanron?

@Vulkan_He'stan: Would you care to explain who you find so suspicious and why? Keeping it to yourself is not really going to help us much.

Makes no sense whatsoever, how did you make the jump that if xenos kill smart people, the_ferret must be a xenos. as of yet no one has died. This seems like a poor attempt to get the_ferret bandwagon rolling again.

Unvote: Drk_O

vote: Dark Lord Seanron

He needs to explain himself ... now. But we shouldnt pile too many votes on, incase the traitor get him lynched (IF he's an innocent)

*Frowns at his accusers as if annoyed but tolerant*

I've been in this sorta' situation before boys, mack on ol' Gethis Prime. One of our Lads had been goin' around stealin' from the others, and everyone was accusing here and there. Obviusly the principle is the same, but this situation is much more dire.

There is no rhyme or reason at the beginning of these proceedings. We don't know enough about each other, our habits and our prejudices yet, so we cannot make an informed decision.

I based my vote on what I could see at the time, that Dark_oblitr8r was being a giddy fool. In my mind, that's suspicious behaviour, acting like a fool to hide malicious intent. Until I see something or someone more suspicious, then I'm stickin' with my vote. I wnot be cowed by people who are no more important or informed than I am!

@EF ok i will tell dls, lord loss and slightly you no real evidence to go on thats why leaving out voting
just..... i dont know a gut feeling

You seem to be very tolerant of lynching innocent! Too tolerant with you ask me. Its not likely that we will lynch a traitor. But if we are careful, we may get one

If being in the Guard teaches you something, it's that Innocents will die, it is our lot in life. The sooner we accept that, the better we will solve this mystery.

But we can stop innocents dying. Also lynching him there and then, like you wanted is against what the Imperials want.

*sigh of releif* I feel less nervous now, so I can make decisions more calmly.

Well, Lord_loss, tell me your magic system for choosing our enemy without risking innocents without any information or proof, and I'll jump on board....

We have lots of suspicous people here now.

The_Ferret: Testing some strange 'expriment' on us. SUSPICOUS.

Dark Lord Seanron: Doesnt care about lynching innocents. SUSPICOUS.

Vulkan He'stan: Last (before the_ferret) to vote for Drk_Oblit. SUSPICOUS.

OOC: There is no magic system, no matter what you do the first day lynch usually comes down to luck. Unless the Genesteallers are really really bad. Just vote for whoever seems like the most scummiest at the time, but still continue to look at everyone else as if they could slip up at any moment and become the best target. The longer the first day goes the better though.

Lord-Loss wrote:We have lots of suspicous people here now.

But very unlikely to be a genestealer ploy. It put him in the spotlight far too much.

Dark Lord Seanron: Doesnt care about lynching innocents. SUSPICOUS.

Not in itself no, it has been said that it's very unlikely that we'll get a genestealer right off the bat. But his eagerness to see anyone get lynched now IS suspicious.

Vulkan He'stan: Last (before the_ferret) to vote for Drk_Oblit. SUSPICOUS.

Actually, I believe that was me. But I believe I'd made it clear that I merely wanted Drk_O to explain himself, and prodded him with a vote.

Vulkan is suspicious becuase he offers no explanation to any of his actions or statements. I understand he might be keeping his cards low, but this doesn't really help the Imperial side. It helps you, not the team. In fact, one might assume that he's a genestealer lurking on the side, letting the Imperials tear each other apart.

@Lord Loss: Drk_O and the_ferrets actions are far too, for want of a better word, 'clumsy' to be part of a genestealers plan. I am now much more suspicious of those who stand on the sidelines, offering little to the conversation, posting as rarely as possible. A genestealer (on the first day at least) would probably not want to throw themselves into the fray but sit on the sidelines and egg the Imperials on, yet not actually saying anything of credit or helpful advice. This is why I find DLS so suspicious, and you so trustworthy. By defending two canditates for a quick-lynch you have done the opposite of what DLS was doing and the opposite of what a genestealer would want on the first day.

The_Ferret could infact be a genestealer who is using himself to distract us from Drk_Oblit. This is a possible, as he has distracted everyone from Drk_Oblit. Im keeping my eye on both of them. To make sure, no more stunts like this are pulled.

DLS doesnt care about lynching innocents or getting discussion in. He seems way to eager to be a normal citizen.

You'll forgive me for groaning that you two make so much sense that you make me look at myself with suspicion.

DLS DOES care about lynching anyone, his lust for bloodletting seem more akin to a denzien of Khorne than any Imperial citizen.

As for the_ferret, if this is a genestealer trying to back the other up it makes no sense. On two occasion we very nearly got a quick lynch (and the_ferret was one of those to try and off Drk_O).

Now he could have been trying to cover the genestealer base by attacking Drk_O and distancing himself, but I think it was very lucky how it worked out that neither of them got lynched right away. I don't think they planned it.

This was @ Lord Loss.

If I wanted to off Drk_O I would have whispered in someone else's ear to join me first, probably an innocent. If I wanted to prove Drk_O innocent I would have jumped on the person who had 2 votes at the time... and then.... nope actually I can't seem to think of a 'and then' to that one.... Bugger me dead.

>< @EF, if I were a genestealer. I need more sleep.

Say Drk_Oblit and The_Ferret are 'stealers. When The_Ferret voted for Drk_Oblit, we were all very suspicous of him. He then started speaking in riddles and alot of people switched votes to him. Drk_Oblit escaped a lynch and The_Ferret was speaking in riddles. He latter explained that it was an expriment to catch 'stealers (pretty weak excuse).

EF wrote:DLS DOES care about lynching anyone

Thats the thing.

The goal of this game, for Imperial Citizens, is to catch and kill the genestealers. Sometimes Imperial citizens have to be sacrificed for this to be done. But so early in the game, there is no possible way that lynching a citizen can help us catch 'stealers. This early in the game, we want to get lots of discussion in. What DSL wanted was to lynch an innocent, because of a joke that went too far and to stop discussion. This makes him very suspicous.

The sooner you wailing nancies accept that the sooner we can get to the botom of this.

Regardless of what you all think I'm sticking with my suspicions. Making light of the situation and acting like a lunatic seem quite big targets to me!

But that's my entire point. If Drk_O is a genestealer then he's obviously a very poor one. It's better to take a stab at those sitting on the sidelines, throwing thier votes in and cheering it on. That is what genestealer would probably do and that is exactly what you are trying to do now.

Drk_O's behaviour is foolish, but not in itself suspicious.

What question?

OH. Yeah. Well, there is a 46% that ferett is a xenos. If he is, then we are srewed.

"Firstly how do you come up with this statistic? Secondly, is the Ferret so powerful(if he is indeed a stealer)that he may overwhelm all of us at once? Then again, there is certainly more than one stealer so perhaps you fear that he is their leader?"

"Perhaps ghost is a stealer trying to take advantage of Ferrett's oddness."

"I was thinking the same, he seems awfully intent on getting us to focus on The_Ferret. Perhaps he is either trying to avert attention from himself, or perhaps it is that he truly believes Ferret to be a stealer and is rather over zealous in his pursuit of him."

Or maybe Deff Dread is a stealer trying to take advantage of LoG oddness!

"Perhaps we should all stop jumping to conclusions and discuss things in a more thorough manner before we make statements such as mine or many others made by those in this company."

Im just jumping to the same conclusions that BrotherStynier is. As you seem to be targetting LoG and well ... he is weird.

"All I meant was this, we should rationally discuss the situation as you suggest earlier. I myself jumped to a conclusion, however I feel it was some what founded in my suspicions. Firstly, he claimed be a space marine. Even if it is so, I highly doubt that he would be among common mercenaries like us. Secondly he has been making Ferret seem like a super xenos with each statement. Saying a number of times that we were all dead men if the Ferret was indeed a xenos. Thirdly, he did all of this on little suspicious behaviour from The_Ferret's side, surely one bumbled or half baked experiment cannot prove that the man is a genestealer?"

Nearly lynching someone and speaking in strange riddles isnt suspicous? Wow, where have I been.

"Snarky comments aren't going to help our situation. He has indeed acted strange, however so have many of our number. I will chalk it down to the stress of our current situation. Then again, perhaps you might be right, I am simply giving you my point of view."

OOC:TBH, I am a bit tired so if I come off all weird, it might be due to my sleep deprived state.

@Deff Dread: You've said that before as well. You might want to get some sleep, mate.

It is undeniable that TLOG is using scummy logic. Whether this is just him being scummy, or him being a scummy genestealer is nowhere near as clear.

How about we lynch him and found out? (I love Imperial logic )
