**Emperors Faithful**

OOC: I'm not entirely sure what a humble scribe such as I am supposed to DO at night.

EDIT: Forgot that I can't talk at night.

**Mekboy**

OOC: At night, you cannot exchange messages unless you have some sort of ability that allows you. Anyone who has an ability to target someone in the night phase PMs the leader and tells them who they're targetting. When all the PMs are in, the leader starts the next day phase after telling us who died.

**Vulkan_He'stan**

(dieing) "you killed the wrong one" (lies back)
(pops head up) "hehehe sucker. by the way any one want a biscuit"

**airman**

WTF!?!?!?

**Emperors Faithful**

@airman: Since Vulkan just got lynched, he's allowed one last "Urrgh, Argh, I'm dead!" post. This is the last we'll see of him until the endgame.

**Lord-Loss**

You all wake at the same time, the smell of blood is in the air, you all rush into the work floor, a lone figure is impalled upon a metal pole in the middle of the room, his knee's have been ripped out, so have his eyeballs, on closer inspection you realise the killer has stuffed his eyeballs were his knees used to be!

The Impalled figure is Emperor's Faithful!

Emperor's Faithful was an Imperial Citizen!

---Day 2 Begins, with seven alive, its four votes to Lynch someone---

**Lord-Loss**

Im going to be very creative about how the Genestealer's kill people.

**Mekboy**

Okay. I imagine that EF was lynched as he didn't appear to really have any strong opinions. Ergo, killing him leaves us with few clues.

Well..he did vote for Thor.

**Emperors Faithful**

*gasp*
(Amazingly EF utters his last words through a shredded throat.)

"I told you so..."

*gurgle, die ect ect.*

EDIT:
BTW,

Emperor's Faithful was an Imperial Citizen!

No duh.

**airman**

*pokes EF's body with stick*

**Gornall**

Why the knees.... why the knees?!?!

**Thor665**

Well, that's a hell of a note - he was going to be my primary suspect this day period. I guess I read the scumminess of his actions wrong.

That said - I have to ask, Mekboy, what's up with dropping the hammer on Vulkan so quickly? We should have taken a bit more time to talk about it then just lynching him ((OOC on page 4 no less, yeesh))

Imperials need time to get people to talk so they can try their best to map whose actions are most scummy. We really need to lynch scum either today or tomorrow or we're hosed.

**Gornall**

Yeah... we cannot afford any mistakes, so everyone please consider your votes very carefully.

To be honest, yeah, that was very sudden on killing off Vulkan. He barely had any time to defend himself before getting lynched. Whether that was zeal or treachery on Mekboy's part is one of the questions I think we must answer today.

**SagesStone**

Those eye-knees are really creepy.

Interesting.. What exactly are you implying?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

Poor EF, I honestly didn't expect him to be the one to fall, he didn't seem threatening if anything I would have pegged him for a xenos.

Then if anything that would absolve Thor of the crime, quite obviously now that you point it out, that EF's death was intended to set up Thor.

**Thor665**

As much as I like to hear Stynier say something that I know is true (that I'm not a Genestealer) I would caution that it is very WIFOM (wine in front of me) to start trying to predict the Genestealer's night kills;

After all, I might have killed him because he was after me and I am a Genestealer.
But, the Genestealers might realize it would cast doubt on me and thus kill him to implicate me.
However, however, I might know this, so as a Genestealer I kill EF in order to make you think that some Genestealers would do it to implicate me.
However, the Genestealers would know that you would know that I could...

Therefore you would have learned man was mortal and put the wine with the poison as far away from you as possible (sorry, obligatory movie reference)

In any case - though I will state I am not a Genestealer, I encourage you all to be very careful about trying to predict what the Genestealers are thinking by who they night kill. I think it's better to look for irregularities in voting and behavior as that is usually a bit more black and white.

My question to Mekboy still stands.

**Gornall**

Yes... killing EF could quite logically be a setup meant to take advantage of EF's accusations of Thor. However, it's not hard to imagine a traitor killing off their accuser during the night and claiming "I'm being set up!" At this stage, I think it's just something to keep in mind and we should let future evidence help us determine whether EF's death was a setup or actual elimination of a rival.

Remember, we're probably not going to find a "smoking Xenos claw". We need to look at each piece of evidence in the overall context of what has happened. That way we avoid any traps the xenos set for us.

Having said that, I'm interested to hear Mekboy's reasoning on why he placed the final vote for the lynch of Vulkan. I think we made a grave mistake by not giving him a proper chance to defend himself, and it cost EF his life.

My question to Mekboy still stands.

After voting for Vulkan I counted up the votes,then realised I'd killed him. Since I couldn't unvote since it was a lynch, I left it. I probably should count the votes up before casting my votes in future.

**Gornall**

That seems a little hard to believe for me.

**Arheiner**

Maybe I shouldn't have added the pressure vote in the middle after all. Things are looking bleak for us, at least we've still got a special role character.

**Mekboy**

No, it isn't your fault. It's mine. I should have paid more attention.

**Gornall**

Vote: Mekboy

I still don't know how I feel about his explanation. This vote is far from final, however.

**airman**

@Gornall
Isn't that a little to quick to draw your conclusions?

**Mekboy**

Well not really. What I did does seem pretty suspicious, as usually the first day's worth of talking goes on at least 8 pages, and disrupting that would be valuable for the genestealers.

**Thor665**

Certainly an interesting bit of activity today.

@Mekboy - hoisting yourself on your own petard is all well and good - but if you are a pro-Imperium role you shouldn't be trying to sell yourself down the river. If you're innocent there should be some logical fallacies to the concept that you dropped the hammer early to end the day that you ought to be able to point to as a defense.

@Gornall - interesting bit of disclaimer language on that Mekboy vote. Could you explain what you mean by it? I don't think anyone expects every vote cast to be set in stone.

**Gornall**

Just saying that as of right now, I view him as the most suspicious. However, if he puts up a more solid defense than "I miscounted", then that would quickly change. By making my view/vote public, I hope to encourage some more discussion.

The voting process is more important than the actual results. As people talk, votes are going to bounce back and forth, and it's those changes in votes that give us clues. Everyone talking to a consensus and all saying at once "Lynch Mekboy" without any votes in between is not nearly as useful as seeing votes change as the discussion matures.

**Thor665**

I do agree with you (in fact I think you stole my speech, copyright infringer!). That said - I find it sort of interesting to hear you talking this way considering how sort of introverted you felt to me on Day 1. Is there a reason you weren't trying to push for more conversation then?

Vote: Gornall

((OOC - And by the way, everybody - please check vote counts and re-check. Let's not have any "oops, did I just hammer? moments today.))

**Gornall**

OOC:: Day 1 was fairly busy for me IRL.

IC:: On Day 1 there wasn't a whole lot to talk about yet. I made some observations about Mekboy's and Stynier's votes, hoping that might get some discussion going, but nothing much came of it. I also did a random vote on Vulkan, but it turned out that no amount of prodding on my part could get him to open up before people started piling on him. TBH, just about the time we started to have some good conversation, our votes reached critical mass and we know what happened next.

I don't think my behavior today is different than yesterday... it's just now we have more to talk about.

OOC:: Be very careful about ninja votes too. Before you hit submit, make sure you open up another window to make sure no one has posted while you were crafting your reply.

**airman**

I believe that Thor is trying to get everybody's gaze off him and on Gornall.
Therefor I VOTE:Thor665
