OOC: Really? Maybe if there were more power roles?

**Deff Dread red Edition**

I think we had ample power roles, however one was killed off quite early by the stealers, and I doubt Vulkan used the inquisitor role to its fullest(him being fairly new to the game).

Getting back to the matter at hand, I must agree slightly with GND/DD on the matter of the talkative being killed off, yet I see it more as the experienced being picked off(yet with only 3 genestealer games being played, I find it strange to call people experienced at said game). Lord_Loss, Emperor's faithful and Not_U were all fairly talkative. Stynier at the start of the game was also talkative.

I'd argue that Vulkan did a great job as the inquisitor. He found someone who was innocent and someone who was guilty and lived to report it... for a short time anyway. I had forgot about EF... the poor guy always dies early. :(

I was going to save this piece of advice for the endgame, but if people are feeling worn out I'll offer it now to hopefully help maintain the fun aspect of the game;

There is no need, obligation, or even sometimes advantage, to going all the way to deadline every time. Sometimes long waits just grind down town conversation. If conversation is dead or already decided then feel free to lynch with a week and a half left on the countdown. Information from lynches and nightkills is sometimes more important. The only day(s) you really want to take full advantage of talking all of is usually the first one or two and maybe the very last one.

We aren't gaining anything by dragging on this day phase. Hopefully, we can get some more useful discussion in a few days.

**Thor665**

The inside of the hab structure you have been using for your deliberations seems more spacious then it once had. Of course, you suppose that's because there's only about half as many of you as there once was. With two Genestealers accounted for you had hoped it would all be over, but the killings had continued and thus so too must your investigation.

The clear consideration was unsureness about voting irregularities and some of Dastardly Dave's oddness earlier on.

"I really can't explain that stuff," sighed Dave, "I ate some really cool looking roots and honestly everything went very organish lavender after that. It's almost like you could say I was another person."

"Aren't drugs heretical," asked Rusty Knight.

"...actually, y'know, I'm not sure, said Def Dred as he scratched his chin. "Come to think of it, is alcohol abuse heretical?"

"As my Commisar used to say to me," said Gornall as he drew his laspistol, "when in doubt, bet on it being heretical."

"Works for me," agreed Fifty, "Leeero-"

"BOOM, Headshot!" Rusty drew his pistol first and promptly fired it into Dave's face. Stepping forward he searched the body and then frowned as he turned back to you all and held up what had been in Dave's pockets; "How to be a Dudley Do-Right even with a dastardly name."

Dastardly Dave was an Imperial Citizen

Well, thats me out. Have fun all

Oops, I almost forgot:

Bah! You Fools! ugggggrh...

**Thor665**

They had left just the head. Everything else was gone and there wasn't even any blood. Just a pale, slightly green tinted from early jungle rot, head sitting there in the middle of the tent. You can't help but get the feeling the Genestealer was mocking you.

Arhenier, loyal Imperial Citizen, was killed most horribly in the night.

======================================
As a head's up; I will be going on a road trip March 27th through April 4th with limited internet access at best. If the game is still going at that point expect a delay in any action that requires my attention. I may seek out a volunteer to fill in whilst I am away depending on what is going on in game at that point.

Regards,
Thor.

n0t_u wrote:RustyKnight seems suspicous to some of them, but if you look at LoG's vote it comes straight after Rusty's vote for GND by saying "I feel like I should:
VOTE: ginger_nid_dude"

People have questioned LoG's reason for voting, but no one has questioned what motivated him to suddenly vote for the same person as Rusty and leave next to no reason. The "Ohh, I forgot my reason!!" and the reason being in the following post could be just a poor cover to the fact that he seemed to be following Rusty. In fact it might have been so bad that it turned out to be good as people questioned the reason and ignored his suspicious behaviour.

I guess then by that reasoning above that the best one of the two for me to vote for now would maybe be LoG.
Also has anyone noticed that the three most suspicious people are currently voting for the same person.
Starting with Drk_O's vote with its standard reason followed by progressivly worse reasons.

Therefore I guess I will VOTE: LoG for the rather suspicious pattern he seems to have made.

I was looking through the logs of the events of Day 2 (when LotG was successfully lynched) and I found this very interesting post. Not_U also was the one who got killed that night, but at the time I couldn't figure out why. Personally, now I think this post is why.

Vote: Rusty Knight

I know this might get me in trouble for voting so quick, but maybe it'll get discussion going early so we have something to work with.

**RustyKnight**

You were hounding me far more that day. If I killed n0t_u in an attempt to kill those that thought I was a 'stealer, why wouldn't I have gone for you? Or, maybe Drk_O/? realized that they could kill n0t_u and try to use that as evidence to lynch me quickly on a later day. Or maybe n0t_u was chosen at random. Or maybe...

Onto the quote-
Firstly, he accuses me of following Drk_O in voting for GND. There's a several day gap between my vote and Drk_O's. During that time period, GND continued to dig himself into a hole. Hell, we just lynched DD yesterday because GND had been acting so strange. The fact that LotG followed my vote could have been an attempt at band wagoning. Who knows what LotG was thinking?

Why did you stealth bold part of that quote?

He criticizes my reasons for voting for GND, yet I had more and better quality reasons that Drk_O. Those very reasons that I used almost lead to GND's death that day and finally killed DD yesterday.

**Gornall**

OOC:: Moving this week (sorry, thought the game would be over by now) so I will have very limited connectivity from Tuesday to Sunday.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

On the topic of the night kills, I at least think that there is no real pattern there. Most of them seem incredibly random and end up in it looking like the stealers were trying to off experienced players.

OOC: Basically a filler post. I am at quite a loss with this all...

Perhaps we should act on impulse and get to voting more. Even though I would agree that having longer days in which to discuss things is good, however long days with no conversation or stagnant conversation(like we've been having) is not much use at all.

In any case I think I'm going to read back over the thread to see if there is anything that could help in our current situation.

I haven't got a clue. At this stage, I might as well roll a d4 to choose one of you.

**RustyKnight**

Deff Dread, Mekboy, either of you two have anything to add?

Roll a d4? Why not just tell Thor to randomly pick one of us to lynch? Or, we can discuss this like rational beings.

Sitting around doing nothing isn't going to help us. So, for that reason, I'm going to try and make a case for Mekboy being the final genestealer. At the moment, I do not believe that he is it, but I may find evidence in the couse of my case building. Plus, it'll hopefully encourage some discussion.

The first part of my case against Mekboy is the fact that he's never really been put under any pressure. Since Day 1, he's been able to silently glide along. Occassionally, he posts one of his voting logs. While helpful, they don't really have any chance of coming back to hurt him, because he hardly ever votes. Day One; we've got a gazillion votes. Votes flew all over the place. Yet, Mekboy never voted. Why not? Is he not interested in catching the 'stealers? Or, is he more concerned with breezing through the day with as little attention on himself as possible? Day two, his single vote is for LotG. The day of Vulkan's betrayal? No votes. The day of Drk_O's lynching? A single vote for Drk_O (of course, that isn't really that surprising). Today? No appearance.

Huh, that looks to be the only part.

**RustyKnight**

Oh, and Vote:Mekboy.

He's in no danger of being lynched at the moment, but this should provoke some conversation.

**Mekboy**

Well, I prefer not to hand out votes willy-nilly, but instead consider carefully. A badly timed vote could doom us all. I admit I may be one of the quieter players, but not being suspicious is surely not a reason to be suspicious, as you seem to suggest.

However, to Gornall is the stealer. He's been so cautious and apologetic, especially this last post. I accept he probably won't be able to reply to this for now, but still.

Vote: Gornall

Leading us to the rather amusing situation of the three of us voting for each other.

Well, at this stage, I find Mekboy the only person for me to vote for. His contribuions have been very neutral, almost like he is treading too fine a line. His vote-counting is helpful, but an easy thing for a 'stealer to do to avoid suspicion. Voting with RustyKnight will probably re-energise talk about our similar voting patterns, but we ca't both be 'stealers...

Vote: Mekboy

I have given up on suriving this game, but hopefully can still get my team the win.

**Fifty**

((ooc Oh come on, I posted over 36 hours ago...))

**Gornall**

Still moving. But yeah, Fifty voting for Mekboy is pretty huge as it prevents me or Rusty from getting lynched for the moment. I could see the genestealer using my suspicion of him to cover their own guilt tomorrow by letting Rusty and I both live. Just a thought.

Anyone been in contact with DDRE?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

OCC: DDRE is probably busy with school stuff, give him a bit longer when he gets on MSN I'll tell him you need him to post.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Sorry guys, I've been trying to finish up my school work for the term.

Anyway, I feel rather suspicious of Mekboy myself. His vote count summaries were as stated above rather helpful. Although he has been rather quiet and hasn't really if I can remember right(it's a rather long thread, all of it seems to blur into one somehow)been involved in the lynching of the stealers, and I am at a loss for what else to do.

So, sadly I must say:

Vote:Mekboy

Edited to fix spelling mistakes.

**Thor665**

"I say it's got to be Rusty," begins Gornall.

"You're crazy," sighed Rusty, "it's gotta be that jerk, Mekboy."

"Hey, why is Gornall acting so in control," asked Mekboy, "I'm getting mighty suspicious of him, we should shoot him."

"That's just the kind of crazy talk I would expect from a Genestealer," yelped Fifty, "you're obviously a xenos!"

"Hey, Deff Dread, we're voting, you have an opinion?"

"Zzzzzzz." From where he lay resting his head on the pack of the deceased Brother Stynier DDR made no comment.

"Look, maybe we should settle this with paper/rock/chainscissors?"

"No, we need a plurality of voting, it's the only fair way."

"Deff Dread, we're...could someone wake him up?"

Mekboy leaned down and jerked Brother Stynier's rucksack out from under Deff's head. "Yo, wake up and vote!"

"Huh, bwuh, GENESTEALERS! Genestealers all around me!" Deff Dread pulled out his laspistol and fired it into Mekboy's face.

There was an awkward pause.

"...meant to do that," shrugged Deff Dread as he knelt to inspect the pockets of the fallen Mekboy. But all he could find was a few cogs, an Omnimessiah pamphlet, and a picture of Mekboy at the "Man I Really Hate Xenos Races" convention on Terra last winter.

Mekboy was a loyal Imperial Citizen!

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

You know the drill for night actions.
Night 6 Countdown

**Thor665**

Gornall is dead, long live Gor...oh wait.
===========================

Gornall, loyal Imperial Citizen has been killed to death in horrible ways.

There are now only three of you left. Today's lynch is your last chance to catch the Genestealer or he will win - that means both town players need to vote correctly.

Good luck to both sides.

Deadline Countdown

**Mekboy**

Oh, so he was loyal. Damn.

*Dies*

**Deff Dread red Edition**

So this is either an elaborate ruse by Fifty to get us(well me really, I'd imagine both Rusty and Fifty will be rather set in their belief of who is a stealer) to believe that Rusty offed Gornall in an attempt to make Rusty look guilty.

That or a rather not so elaborate scheme, in which Rusty offed Gornall because Gornall was suspicious of him.
Either way, I am still very much at a loss.

(Sorry about the two edits. It is rather late, I'm not thinking very clearly.)

**RustyKnight**

Wait, you randomly jump in and lynch Mekboy and accuse me?

How about you killed Gornall to try and make me look bad?

Why is it that after days of being too busy to reply to this thread you jump in and lynch someone and are then able to start discussing?
