For you Game Players
While you're alive, feel free to post, because once you die I'd prefer you didn't anymore. For those of you who want to know, at least one of you is an Imperial Solider. Hope that helps.

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: Manchu this is a not good vote - Vote:Thor665.

2) Please unvote if necessary before casting a new vote, it makes counting them much easier. (you are allowed to unvote as many times as you wish during a day cycle, so feel free to keep shifting your vote around as your suspicions change)

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 three week Day Phase deadline. All Night Phases have a 72 hour deadline. Deadlines will be counted from the Moderator (my) story posts that will initiate each day and night phase.

2) At the three week deadline lynching will require the same number of votes as usual, if this number is not reached the day will end 'no lynch'.

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 at night. 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 3 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 three 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 48 hours of it being sent I will start to look for a replacement.

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

5) Power Roles including but not limited to Imperial Sanctioned Psyker, Imperial Inquisitor, Genestealer Magnus, Night Lords Assailant and Agent of the Officio Assassinorum, who are inactive for 3 days or longer will become demoted to their sides lowest role (Imperial Citizen or Genestealer, Night Lords Assailants will become one of the two)
Random Events

1) Random Events are randomly decided. Do not request to be affected by a random event, because I will pick a bad one for you.

2) Bad Random Event = Not good.

3) Don't question the Random Events, if you're lucky they've had some slight thought to it.

4) Random Events are fair.

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 etc 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 1: Introductions===---------------
You all are working together on a mission, to capture an Eldar Leader who has been spreading heresey across the Imperiom of Man. You have all been selected specifically for the task from many different posts, so while you've known each other for a time, you still haven't learnt much about each other.

After a long battle, you have managed to capture the Eldar Leader, and are taking it back to Terra to publicly execute it, as an example to all the other Xenos speaking ill of the future of Mankind.

"You Mon Keigh have no idea what you're in for" says the Eldar Leader with a smile, the words echo in your head.
"Shut up you filthy Xenos!" Yells Commander Smash as he brings his knee to the gut of the Eldar.
The Eldar looks up at the Commander and Laughs, as the commander locks the Eldar into the captive device

The Eldar cannot move or free itself

"Commander Smash, you will be the first" the Eldar mocks
The Commander hits the Eldar over the head, and is knocked out.

You all sleep that night wondering what the Eldar meant. You find what in the morning.

Commander Smash is found dead, smashed between two of the Imperial Standard Metal Bunkers
While pondering the irony, you realise that someone must have done this, and you look at the other investigatively. Then immediately rush to the Eldar beleiving it to be the culprit.

Upon closer inspection, there is nothing wrong with the Captive Device, and there is no evidence of it being opened recently.

"Amoung you all, there is a traitor" states the Eldar "And I am the target. I know you have no reason to beleive me, but I have seen this all before. I know what will happen already, I even know who the traitors are, and how many there are. But, I have decided that I will help you, because reguardless of whether you catch them or not, I die either way. If you find them, I am executed infront of thousands of Mon Keighs and the surviviors are treated as heroes. If you don't, then I am killed on the ship"

===It's Day 1, with 11 alive it require 6 to Lynch===

As a note, as the Eldar Leader, I will answer any questions you ask

(ooc It'd probably help more if we knew what an Imperial soldier could or could not do ::shrug::. )

::The hired scout with old gang markings across his face and arms frowns as he spits out a gob of the wretched smelling root he always insists upon chewing.::

Sound's like a game of taunt the Ripper Jacks to me - it's fun and games but someone's always going to lose a face. Okay there, xenos, if you're so content to flap your jaws I can't help but note that you mention there is a traitor in our midst - but then claim to know who the traitors are. Obviously your sick xenos mind will refuse to explain to us simply who the traitor or traitors are - but can you at least tell us how many we're dealing with here?

(OOC: Normal People)

"1 or more. Infact, a portion of you are infact, traitors." Laughed the Eldar Lord "I might have been more specific if it made a difference to me. Remember that next time you MonKeighs decide to make an example."

[EDIT]: "Although, if you asked nicely, I might be able to tell everyone who a traitor is" said the Eldar Lord with a grin

You know Farseers can kind of make your head explode, they do have their powers canceled out, right?
Also is this a Farseer or Autach?
*Not entering the general area of the foul xenos until proper precautions have been taken*

Seems like this xenos scum isnt going to help us at all
*Pauses and spits on Eldar Lord*

So we better get going, I think everyone should tell us there story. (Il post mine later)

huh.....a traitor
*cautiously reaches for his welding iron*
well howre we gonna defend our selves from them renegades?

::He also spits on the xenos before walking back to the others.::

My background? I was raised on Necromunda, where we caught that babbling xenos scum. If you all remember I was provided to you by the Planetary Governor in order to help you trek into the depths of the Underhive to capture that thing, he thought I would be most helpful because of my ::he pauses to look at some of the gang tattoos on his arm:: 'experience' down there. And other for that bad spot near the Sump Sea I think I did pretty well on the whole. But, seeing as we have at least one traitor in our midst I see no reason we shouldn't start trying to sniff him out. ::He glances around at everyone slowly and then turns towards the one who just demanded information without supplying any.::

You seem as suspicious as a sump rat slurping up a bottle of wild snake.

Vote: Lord-Loss (for asking for something and then not delivering)

Me? Just your ordinary guadsman. I came from Phanative II, and joined up with the guard when the first regiment was raised. The Phanative 1st, or the 'Wild Snakes' as everyone called us. Our speciality was swamp fighting, where most soldiers got bogged down. but we were used to it from our homeworld. I survive quite a few battles their. Got promoted to a sergeant. Got an arm rigged off by an angry ork. The rest of the squad rather quickly ran away, dragging me with them. I don't blame 'em. Anyway, I've now got this rather nice bionic arm. Then my regiment got mostly annhialated when we were sent right into the path of a 'nid hive fleet. Then the Munitorium scooped the rest of us up and sent us here.

Me?


Well Im from Talassar of the Ultima Segmentum. Im along way from home and I would be headin' home if it wasnt for this stinky xenos *Spits at Eldar Lord*

Ya see, I wasnt good enough for the planetary defence force, so I enrolled in the Guard.

Owain looks warily at the Eldar leader before walking over to join the others.

I'm from Asphodel, myself. A graveworld-- dead machines as far as the eye can see. He makes a few minute adjustments to his somewhat bulky laspistol, muttering a prayer as he does so. I joined the Guard because that's the only way once can gain any prestige on my world. My successes against the xenos of the Galthrax Cluster obviously attracted some attention from the higher-ups, since shortly after I found myself fighting for my life in that filthy underhive.

ORKEO LIKE HIS HUMAN FRIENDS.

ORKEO NOT LIKE ALIENS.

ALIENS ARE MEAN TO HUMANS.

ORKEO IS OGRYN. VERY STRONG. FROM BIG PLANET WITH BIG TREES.

im from back that way *points the oppisite way the ship is heading* i had a nice cushy job in a munition factory for a couple of years, but after the accident that robbed me of my eye i transferred to building valks, you know for the war effort. been there until the commissar (may the emporer protect his soul) picked me up....guess thats the same with all of you? i was hoping that if we caught this ratbastard eldar, i'd be able to find a nice place to settle down in, and get back to welding and building, my proffession.

MAN WITH BIG HAT AND BIG VOICE TELL ORKEO TO COME WITH HIM

LOUD MAN ALWAYS FROWN, BECAUSE ZEENOS AND HAIRY TICKS MAKE HIM MAD

::He takes a fresh bite out of his odoriferous black root. He spits on the xenos again because it pleases him to see the fury of pure Imperial spittle upon the foul xenos brow.::

For those of you introducing yourselves - why don't you offer up some thoughts as to whom seems most likely to be a traitor out to kill us? I don't think it's likely they'll stop with ol' Smash and I'd hate to see what sort of creativity they could manage trying to kill me. My credits are still on the man from Ultima Segmentum - I never met anyone coming out of that place that I liked very much.

All the underhive filth I have met have been, rude and arrogant. You are not helping yourself Thor!

Im a distant, distant, distant, distant, distant, distand *gasps for breath* distant, distant, distand cousion of one of the High Lords of Terra. I shall not name him, as it would be an embrassement for his distand cousin to be on a ship with *pauses and looks around him in digust* these underhive scum.

Some of my best friends are underhive scum...of course so are most of my worst enemies...

So I see you found the time to insult a city man like myself with your uphive mentality. ::takes a slow and sloppy chew on the wad of root in his mouth.:: Of course in your rant I didn't happen to notice you offering even a peep about who you feel is most suspicious.

ORKEO THINK THE ELDER IS THE ONE WHO KILL SMASH

SMASH AND ELDAR WERE MAD AT EACH OTHER

ORKEO LIKE SMASH, ORKEO NO LIKE ELDER

:: Attempts to spit on the Eldar, drools on self instead. ::

Based on what evidence?

My great Uncle was the head of Imperial polIce in the Ultramar system.


He told me to never make assumptions and never kill anyone without evidence. He also told me to never get to drunk, Its ironic realy because he died of alchohol poisening that very night.

Who is this Bafoons nurse *Points at Orkeo* I know that Ogryn are not allowed anywhere on a ship without a nurse.

:A man in an unadorned black robe, carrying a heavy, iron bound book, lurches into the room, ogling each of his companions individually for a time before moving to face the captive Eldar lord. Peeling back a sleeve, he extrudes a larch-scribe from a small port on his right arm - a bionic replacement with a wide caliper rather than a hand, and holds it in his other hand, which is intact.
He places the book open and upturned upon the caliper-hand, and a third tiny limb folds out from the biomechanical arm, bending over the tome and rifling through pages at a surpising speed:

"Xenos," - he speaks, mouth unmoving, in an electronic tone that sems to emanate from beneath his robes. "Grant us your... insight. We require a reason to trust that you will aid us truthfully."

:A pincer-tipped mechadendrite flips out from the sleeve of his mechanical arm, picks up a rag from nearby, and wipes the spittle from the alien's brow:

ORKEO NOT BUFOON

ORKEO IS OGRYN

ORKEO HAS NO NURSE BECAUSE HE IS SMART BONE EAD NOW

ORKEO LIKE SMARTNESS
