Vote: Drk_O Why are you still voting without reason? That really doesn't help our cause.

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.

EF: That was an example. My vote for Fifty was random. As it was straight at the begining of the game.

unvote:Fifty

Im going to hold my vote for now.

to put some presure on dark_o
to see if we can get something other than a random vote out of him
vote dark_o

That makes 6 for Dark at my count.... 2 more and Day 1 ends and we can get some shuteye.

OOC: Vulkan's vote doesn't count as it isn't in bold.

ooops sorry
vote :dark_o

We'll be through with his nonsense at least

*spits a black greasy tobacco stain noto the dusty ground*

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."

OOC:Slightly ninja'd by Seanron.

Also sorry about the 3 edits my spelling seems to be sub-par tonight.

OOC: Thought you were accusing me there :p no probs!

"i think im going delusional in the heat
we im going to use that lemon tree to make lemonade
i hope no ones diabetic"

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...

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.

"Actually I just didn't notice, I was looking for any signs of the mutants" said Ackart accepting the Ilho stick.

OOC: What the hell is an Ilho stick?

(OCC: Sorry I was adding an extra letter, they are Iho sticks from the Gaunt series, but I'll run with the error, making them the Elysian version.)

"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."

Both Mekboy and lord of the ghosts are traveling in the 48 hour no post period and have been prodded via PM.

If they do not respond to me with an extenuating circumstance or post to this thread within roughly 24 hours they will be replaced.

With 15 alive it is 8 to Lynch
If the deadline were to hit now - Drk_O would be lynched
Deadline countdown

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.
I apologise for this but here I am. *loads a bullet into an old gun and places it on the jungle floor*
Vote Drk_O

I can assure you I am neither. I have already explained myself.

See, you don't answer the question AND you throw out another wierd vote.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but by your question, did you mean

It's the last question you've asked me.

If so, I already answered your question.

You seem to be insistant on me answering questions I have already answered. Do you seek difference in my answers? An inconsistancy?

Let me ask you a question. Why are you hammering me with questions?

You quoted me, but you didn't quote the quote. What he said was the reason I voted for him, as his response made me feel uneasy, so I'm sure it is some form of heresy.

(Thor has a timer with every Vote Count)

I made no attempts to spread confusion. I was using ManBearPig to get people talking quickly. I was to use their reactions to judge who might likely be the Genestealers. I got people talking quickly, didn't I?
