"Other ships?" Arctik asks incredulously; "What in the Warp are you talking about?"

Turning to Lord-Loss; "I have three other minor reasons to suspect you. Unless you are suffering from an attention disorder, you have not bothered to defend yourself properly until I specifically asked you. Secondly, you seem to have trouble describing yourself... you have given us more than one story about your background, neither of which you have really followed up. This may be an internal personality conflict, or you may be suffering brain damage. The other reason involves another on this ship, and I do not wish to bring up this subject at the present time based on the fact that I am only speculating."

The pulsing beat gets more and more fierce, and eventually the door splits open outwards.

lord of the ghosts is free to do whatever!!!

Ultrafool =/= n0t_u
Wait, where did that come from? I haven't seen anyone suggest anything like that at the moment.


Thor, my reason was because I couldn't think of anything else at the time. Honestly, I really have no idea who to vote for at the moment and was more or less going with the majority at the time. There's no reason to probe further because there really isn't anymore to it at the moment
Feel free to continue to do so if you want.

((OOC: Terribly sorry, n0t_u!))

OOC: No problem

given us more than one story about your background

How?

Im from The Ultramar system, Im a distant cousin of one of the twelve.

I wasnt good enough to join the PDF, so I joined the Imperial Army.

It's more fun to criticise in character traits than it is to randomly vote by just saying that you're randomly voting. From there you can see how people defend themselves, who supports them or is eager to jump on them, etc. I know you've said that we've reached the point where we can start to guess based on how people have responded so far, but I can't really think of any major leads at the moment.

((OOC - If his goal was to start a conversation with you because he thought you might be a traitor - then it was reasonable. Manchu and I were debating posting and scum hunting styles, and he dismissed them as irrelevant debates of interpretation (of which they very much aren't) and then took the high ground because he wanted to start real discussion. His real discussion is to open up with a random reason to implicate you... That seems a little odd to me. That's why I asked him to clarify his thoughts in that regard.

And I do think there's enough info out there to get away from random votes/accusations at this point. The purpose of RVS is to open up conversation and get votes on the board. That has been done.))

((OOC - why do you think his lack of posting in that game (when he was an Imperial Citizen) proves his lack of posting in this game makes him a Genestealer?. If you looked at the previous game (my Game 2) you will see Ultrafool went along with almost never posting while playing a pro-Imperium role. So, while he didn't exactly have pro-Imperium play if you want to meta game him you should at least note what role he was playing when his playstyle was similar. That said, I would like to see him post more, as I believe lack of posting is more pro-Genestealer play then pro-Imperium no matter what role you are.))

How likely do you see yourself voting in this manner moving forward (going with the crowd)? Since you're still voting for him I presume you agree with the "majority" that he's the most likely Genestealr/traitor?

The eldar breates a heavy sigh
"You're not going anywhere, with your 'YOU'RE A GENESTEALER, no wait, YOU'RE A GENESTEALER, no wait YOU'RE A GENESTEALER' discussions. There's too much talking and too little action, and I'm getting bored. So I'm going to do something about it. I know the location of a Bolt Pistol. I'll tell someone where it is if they can convince me why I should let them have it" said the Eldar with a smirk.

The Bolt Pistol can lynch another player at anytime, but only once.

Well If you let me have it, then we will kill a traitor.

You will be amused and not bored by our endless squabbaling.

"But how do you know the person you'd kill be a traitor?" said the Eldar, rasining an eyebrow

When you vote for someone you believe there a traitor. So I believe Thor to be a traitor.

"Beliefs aren't nessisarily true, what if Thor isn't a traitor? If you shot Thor and it turned out he was a mere pawn of your Emperor, then wouldn't your little buddies turn against you?"

That Is why I do not intend to shoot straight away. ::Spits on Floor::

I believe that everyone will be more safe with the gun in my hand, compared to say the gun in LoG's hand.

"But then you might be the next target of the Genestealers, because you could potentially, shoot them, dwindling their numbers. Also, you'd have to admit that it'd be much more entertaining for me if lotg had the gun" laughed the Eldar

He's unprediactable and might shoot you, you dont want to miss this do you Xenos?!

"Now that would be a twist" Laughed the Eldar "but I would think he would not want to fail your precious Emperor"

Your xenos scum who has been mocking us all, while not telling us who murdered our captain.

Im sure it could and would happen Xenos.

"Perhaps you don't have as much faith in the Emperor as some of the others" mocked the Eldar

I have more faith in the Emperor then anyone else here. But I doubt that LoG wouldnt kill you If a bolt pistol came into his possession.

Lord-Loss wrote:I have more faith in the Emperor then anyone else here. But I doubt that LoG wouldnt kill you If a bolt pistol came into his possession.

"I see your point Mon Keigh, we have been getting along recently..."

Thus I believe that the Bolt Pistol should come into the possession of a more sensible fellow.

Thor is too hot headed, LoG is too unpredicatable, Orkeo is too......special and Owain is not involved enough in the investigation.

So that leaves, me, Joan ((Manchu)) and Arctik_Firangi.

Even though I don't want anyone else to have it, I don't want it myself, either. Besides, I would undoubtedly shoot the Eldar. How does it know where a bolt pistol is hidden anyway? This is exactly what I warned about earlier.

"Orkeo with a bolt pistol would be pretty entertaining" Laughed the Eldar Lord "I wonder if he knows which end is which?"

So that leaves me and Arctik_Firangi if Joan doesnt want it.

Well, were the reasonable people to tell were it is.


Joan, you are correct, but if it turns out to be a trap, then we shall end him.

Nothing good can come from dealing with xenos scum.

Would you rather someone reasonable have the bolt pistol in there possession, then someone like LoG?

The fact that the Eldar might give it to someone almost intentionally unreasonable should be proof enough that it cannot be trusted.

YES GIVE ORKEO BOLTY PISTOL! ORKEO SHOOT ALIENS!

ORKEO NOT BREAK RIPPER GUN, EXCEPT FOR ONE TIME. ORKEO CAREFUL.

What then Joan? Let the xenos give the pistol to a unreasonable person, or try and reason with it?

L-L, I find that proposal utterly repugnant. I have hypothesized since we found Smash dead that any traitors among us would work with the xenos. The correlating hypothesis is that the xenos would work with the traitors. Only in a traitor will the alien find an ally among Emperor-fearing citizens. Every loyal and faithful human, conversely, fights nausea just to gaze upon these creatures. We certainly know that it is total folly to heed the lies of an alien. This thing, may it yet be smote upon Holy Terra, knows it's only chance to survive is to cooperate in the murder of its loyal, human captors. The best strategy for it is to ally at least temporarily with any treacherous elements among us.
