**Lord-Loss**

What are you rambling on about Shas'o?

Are you saying you want to be lynched?

**shas'o vera**

how do we know that its not you that is dark kin and could be trying to use the most cunning weapon of all...... logic.

**Arheiner**

So using logic is a weapon of evil? If we do not use logic we will not find the Dark Kin and avenge the Farseer. Now I'm waiting for more people to come on and judge what has just happened.

**Lord-Loss**

But Arheiner, I believe that Shas Is most likely a Dark Kin, I would rather lynch him in a week (real time) then lynch him now. Why?

Discussion, discussion, discussion!

The more discussion we have, the greater chance we have of catching a Dark Kin day two.

What is so suspicous about preventing an early lynch?

Your theory has no evidence and is rather scummy, accusing two of the most expirenced players of being Dark Kin without any evidence...

**shas'o vera**

yes, but we can trick them with my 'logic'

and LL, i might want to be lynched or not, all im saying is that we all have an equal chance of being dark kin.

**Arheiner**

Like I said, an early lynch gives us a traitor, a late lynch might give us one if they slip up. Losing the talking may well be worth it if we can take one out early enough. The Dark Kin would choose to end it but if you keep the vote on now it creates a better chance for finding the Dark Eldar than not.

**Lord-Loss**

Exactly, we have all got an equal chance of being Dark Kin, so how do we find the Dark Kin?

We look at peoples posts, those with scummy ideas, those who push for early lynchers, those who bandwagon are all more likely to be Dark Kin.

**Lord-Loss**

Hmmmm, I'm not sure Arheiner, lets see what others think of the idea before we push him to say... L-1 and wait.

**shas'o vera**

hmmm, or we could try tricking the ones that are on right now using my way of interigation

**Arheiner**

I'm not pushing for one, I'm just looking ahead to what could happen if you leave on your vote

Dark kin vote off Shas'o quickly and he's innocent: We know at least one traitor, maybe two and catch them over the next 2 days, if we're unlucky we have a decent start and a decent idea on who'll be a traitor

Same but he's guilty: We win since we know at least 2 traitors and should find the 3rd, the roles should help with the last part (if there are any roles on our side)

No vote off: We get the discussion anyway, and maybe get one traitor with no idea on others, maybe nowhere

**Scarper**

OOC: RAGE! I've written this post TWICE, and IE has crashed TWICE. Here it is in super brief form:

LL has expressed his suspicion of shas'o several times and in the same breath asked if people found anyone else suspicious. He's also been hounding him pretty closely for explanations of his behaviour - this could be good play in making sure we don't lynch someone for naivety rather than malicious intent, or it could be trying to get him to say anything sensible to prevent the imminent lynching of a DE. I'm not convinced either way.

In terms of Shas'o, posts like this:

shas'o vera wrote:but what if thats what i dont want you to do?

serve to cement my vote choice and don't do any favours for LL, as it looks like he's trying to join in the argument.

I think once we cut down Shas'o tonight and find an agoniser or whatever, it'll reveal something about more than just him...

**Scarper**

OOC: also:

Will do! Sorry bout that

**Arheiner**

Like I said, LL, EF and Shas'o is very likely at this stage. Pretty sure at least 2 would be traitors and 1 will be one at least.

@ Shas'o: You haven't yet interrogated on any evidence'

@ Scarper: Cutting him down tonight ourselves is a bad idea, unless you happen to be a traitor yourself. Go stand in the corner for that idea.

**shas'o vera**

exactly my point, go ahead and lynch me, but believe me, it wont help one bit, so think, if i was dark kin then i would actually be acting worse than this, some of you have seen my remarks on other topics, and they are bad.

its your choice.

**Scarper**

I meant cut him down from the rope? Cause of the lynching?

And Shas'o, that is some frankly rubbish logic

**shas'o vera**

wait a minute.... cut me down from the rope? i didn't realise i was already playing he hangmans game.

**Lord-Loss**

Arheiner: Me, EF and Shas isnt likely at all, you have no evidence to back it up!

Scarper: I'm hounding Shas for for some reason for his behavour because I dont want to lynch an innocent. It's hard to lynch an Dark Kin day one, but we might do it!

I have done nothing suspicous, I've been hounding Shas for an explanation about his silly, scummy behavour, thats not suspicous..

I have unvoted Shas to make sure he doesnt get lynched too early into day one, thats not suspicous.

**SagesStone**

OOC:What is it with EF? Without fail no matter what first day of any game he's one of the big suspects

IC:We just need to be sure not to come to a lynch until the very end of the day. If anything Arheiner is more suspicious, throwing out suspicions like that with so much apparent confidence. Only a Dark Kin would know who the other Dark Kin are. Now it might not make much sense there, but they would also know who isn't a Dark Kin and what better way to throw the loyal Eldar remaining into chaos for their escape than to make us all second guess the intention of everyone around us.

Only shas'o seems suspicious out of them. What's really interesting about it is right off the first two are more experienced and are usually seen leading the loyalists to victory. Care to explain what has made them so suspicious?

**BishopGore**

Some... interesting theories.

Having seen Shas'O posting around I am more inclined to think that he enjoys posting and being the centre of attention, but as has been said, I don't think this makes him a Dark Kin.

I've voiced my suspicions of Lord-Loss and Emperors Faithful, but I was told that my ideas were worthless, scummy, wrong, whatever. So I remain suspicious of them both, but it could just be that they're trying to set me on a more sensible path with force rather than persuasion.

I think Arheiner is thinking outside of the box, but not in a Dark Kin way.

But mostly I think that this game is going to hurt my head a great deal trying to keep track of the tortuous logic. I'm seriously reminded of the 'clever' kidnapper in The Princess Bride when he was trying to figure out where the poison is.

And any Eldar who hasn't seen that Mon'keigh classic is definitely lacking in taste.

**Lord-Loss**

Your idea was to kill off all the exprienced players to give the Pro-Town an edge, which is pretty suspicous, you have to realise that.

And if someone comes up with a theory about who the Dark Kin are and they have no evidence and nothing at all to support their claim, what do you expect from the accused?

I might have been a big forceful when people come up with idea's that make no sense with logic. I apologise for this, I was alot worse on my first game, just look back at the thread and see.

**BishopGore**

I have said, hand on heart, that I was too loud and not particularly sensible in some of my posts. Well, most of my posts. I am happy to admit that I have made mistakes and as such people are suspicious of me. Hopefully with time people will realise that I'm not Dark Kin, merely an overzealous speaker who let his ideas run a bit wild without thinking them through.

That said, I'm still gonna be watching you Lord-Loss. If you're trying to throw me off the scent by commenting on all my mistakes then it won't work

Logic will come with time, but for now I'll stick with watching the ideas of those more experienced.

Are we still watching Vulkan? He's not been saying much.

**shas'o vera**

OBJECTION!!

Not trying to throw you off...

I'll be watching you Bishop, your up there with Arheiner and Vulkan on my mildy suspicous list.

**shas'o vera**

* random pelvic thrusting* im not doing anything, honest

**BishopGore**

I wouldn't have it any other way LL

I was actually thinking giving Shas'o the boot on the first day would be harsh as he's never played before and an enjoyable first game is important to get people playing this more, but he seems to be intent on making it hard to want to keep him around

**shas'o vera**

congrats, you figured out my stratagy, you get: one cyber cookie.

**Arheiner**

That's just a dead giveaway, it's near certain now that you're a traitor who was told by the other Dark Kin to make a nuisense.

**Scarper**

Alright, so it seems like a bit of a given that Shas'o will be forcibly leaving the ship tonight, but let's not let silly distractionary tactics stop us discussing anyone else. Who else do we reckon could use some talking about? Personally I'd like to hear a little more from Vulkan - it's hard to form a judgement when you haven't said much, mate!
