Or are you? You're very willing to accuse us of heresy!

Just cause two people killed Soonto, it doesnt mean there aint any more!


Watch your backs friends as we do not know how many foul traitors are with us.

How did you know it was two people? You must be one of them!

Yes, I meant when our remains would be found, bony fingers still grappling with the alien scum, and be properly interred by a priest of His Divine Majesty.

'Simplistic amongst us able to recognize that the governor had been assaulted and killed by two people working in concert.'

My mind is closed like a fortress with it's gates barred and locked, so I'm not too bright, but shouldn't there be a 7th person/monster here?

Who's ducking us?

jwelvis629, I believe

Page Two Vote Accounting
---------------------------------------
0 - Voting

0 - Vote No Lynch

7 - Not Voting (manchu, Gwar!, Orkeosaurus, Lord-Loss, jwelvis629, Vahalla42nd, Demogerg)
---------------------------------------

Just a friendly bit of accounting from me for you guys. I'll try to post one of these up every even numbered page or so just to help keep track of who is voting for whom. Since people can keep changing their votes as much as they like a semi-regular vote tally can help people keep track of who is closest to the hangman's noose (or I suppose in this case a quick dousing in promethium).

At the moment there has been a fair bit of chatter but apparently not enough for anyone to feel it's worthwhile to cast even a random vote yet, so at the moment it currently stands at no votes cast. It is still 4 votes for a Lynch. (you guys also all win my nomination for best role-playing in a game of Mafia I've ever seen)

Maybe I'm assuming you're all simpler than me.

Or maybe I missed that part.

Either way, we need to figure this out. Someone did this. We're sealed in here. It has to be one of us at least... Who receives the Emperor's Grace?

:points to (vote: Orkeosaurus):

I'm having trouble believing his story, maybe because it's so colorful.

At least Orkeosaurus has a story!

That one, Gwar!, isn't saying anything! And what kind of person has an click at the end of their name anyway? I'll tell you who: an xenos traitor! (vote:gwar!)

Valhallan has been quick to point fingers to heresy.
vote:Valhallan42nd

((Wow, we really only need the merest nudge, eh?))

:oints to Soonto's mangled dismembered partially chewed corpse::

I point fingers because evidence of heresy is obvious, and quite frankly, has begun to stink. I think we have a very visible reminder of being too trusting.

To not act now is foolish at best. We must act to protect ourselves.

What?! I recieved two and a half medals for my bravery!

Vote: Manchu!

You and your medals! Which ones then? The Cross of Perfidious Infiltration? Or perhaps the Bronze Star of Perverse Xenos Fraternization? Give me one good reason to believe your tall tales, "trooper."

I received the Clean Barracks Merit Badge and the Funniest Injury of the Month Award.

I almost got the Killed an Ork badge but they couldn't confirm the kill and I had to give it back. I got to keep the ribbon though.

Perhaps you're jealous of my illustrious service to The Immortal God-Emperor of Mankind? Or perhaps you fear a veteran of the Emperor's Hammer standing guard over your prey?

Don't tempt me, Manchu. Even with your mutant, alien, strength I will come at you like a spider monkey all jacked up on energy drinks.

Spider monkey, you say? Well, allow me to respond with my own expertise in serving his Divine Majesty's Administratum as Assistant Menial Under-Secretary to the Adjutant Scrivener Secundus, 32nd degree, Emperor protect and keep him, Adeptus Terra Bureau-Serf Control Numeral Omega Two Two Five Seven Two Eight. I have heard of this "spider monkey" xenos form you've just mentioned while rambling on incoherently about illusory battle honors. A Senior Logis from the Martian priesthood informed my own master about the fall of the thirteenth moon of Grephrion VII (you are not familar with it? hmm, it is in the Segementum Obscurus, but perhaps you did not see service there--or anywhere else perhaps?; it was a jungle moon as it happened) at the hands of what appeared to be saboteurs and turned out--so the most excellent Logis reported--to be a foul and foetid alien that had, it was later found by the surviving lexmechanics, adapted itself to those particular jungles. The xenos incursion, which incidentally tied up the logistical efficiency of an entire subsector for rotations on end--how we ever worked out the realignment of the soylens viridiens market, Throne only knows--but as I was saying, the xenos incursion was said to have begun with circumstances very similar to those of the past few rotations here on the late, dispicable Governor Soonto's world--Emperor damn him twice for dying a traitor and for dying without first authorizing the tanna leaf shipments! And moreover, my alleged Guardsman friend, if you are indeed a servant of His Divine Majesty, the xenos that slaughtered the Priests of Mars on the thirteenth moon of Grephrion VII were described by skitarii stationed there as "spider monkeys." I submit, therefore, that you would not attack my most devoted person merely "like" said spider monkey--which is to say, xenos scum--but rather you would do so just as you did to that incorrigible fool Soonto: not like a spider monkey, false friend who dares declare himself a slave like myself to the God-Emperor, no. But as one! for you are indeed one! Admit it!

I am not saying anything because I have nothing to say! I am just a loyal Imperial Citizen unlucky enough to be dragged into this!

Vote:Valhallan42nd

I too feel that Valhallan42nd is suspicious!

Vote:Valhallan42nd

Tell me now Orkeosaurus, why do you wear that large coat?

We have no air conditioning and it is 200 Degrees outside!

Do you have some kind of mutation that makes you immune to heat, or are you hiding something! Some kind of Mutation! Maybe some kind of fearsome claw that you used to kill Soonta!

I can tell you, without a doubt, that I am human. Give me the Emperor's grace, and you will have made a foolish move. Vote against me if you want, but if you do, two xenos murderers will be in your midst.

I still say it's Gwar!

Foolish indeed to give the grace of the Emperor to a Xenos scum. Your end shall be ever less glorious.

I have three votes against me. Another will follow the herd and vote against me. I am consigned to my fate. But if I die, I will die knowing that I am to be joined with the Emperor in eternity. Unlike you all, who will be consumed by genestealers.

:ouble post:: (Sorry!)

A spider monkey is not an alien species; it's an Adeptus Mechanicus creation that combines the absolute strength of a spider with the proportionate strength of a monkey, thus creating a new, wonderful species which is as every bit as pure and natural as the winged babies and floating hollowed-out skulls that they have created. They make excellent pets, for people who are wearing fully enclosed powered armor. It's hardly my fault that they got loose. And at any rate, you plainly see that my face lacks five pairs of mandibles, and I do not have a tail that shoots acidic web that eventually vaporizes into a poisonous gas.

Also, you call the battle honors bestowed upon me by a sergeant of The Immortal God-Emperor's Most Holy Legion of Human Guardians of the Imperium of Man "illusory"? Perhaps you would call Solar Macharius and alien? Perhaps you would call the legendary tactical genius Usakar Creed a traitor?

Lord-Loss wrote:Tell me now Orkeosaurus, why do you wear that large coat?

I wear this coat because it's hot. It's good to be so hot that you're uncomfortable and sweat all over the place. Have you ever served with the Adeptus Sororitas, sir? I have. Well, none of them talked to me, or really even looked at me, but according to someone who says he talked to someone who knows a lot about them, they say that the cure for impurity is the fire of the emperor.

Who are you to deter the judgement of his eye? When his hands casts heat down upon you to broil the aliens who threaten us, I do not cower and take off my large coat! I stand up straight and say "BRR! IT'S CHILLY OUT! PLEASE SEND ME SOME MORE OF THE FIRE OF YOUR DIVINE JUDGEMENT, GOD-EMPEROR OF MAN!"

Ye of little faith.

I will take off this coat if you wish; as you can see, my limbs are as pink and humany as those of anyone else. I don't have "claws", and if I did they would useless to me, because I already wield the shield of my faith, and the sword of my contempt.

Ave Imperator.

Are you saying the Emperor is dead!

How dare you even speak his name!

What is this 'Genestealer' you speak of?

Again, you know far too much to be a healthy guardsman. How have you come across such techsorcery? Have you the confidence of the tech-priests? No, no. I think this is a simple case of you making things up (like your supposed medals) although, perhaps this is also an example of the notorious stupidity of xenos that we loyal citizens hear about over the vox casters. How are any of us to take seriously your casual bandying about of great names like the vaunted Creed? Your mutated brain is obviously swollen with delusions of grandeur--although I am more inclined to think that this is simply the best that a sub-human, xenos-groping, freak can manage when he knows himself surrounded by the Emperor's loyal, genetically and theologically superior subjects.

We asked High Bishop Gelzeus Naracraftia about his after it ate Aglerson and tore off Smith's right leg.

It's not my fault you don't know enough about The Alien to distinguish it from a beautiful creature that had been fully sanctioned by the Holy Ecclesiarchy of the Immortal Emperor of Mankind and created by the most holy Adeptus Mechanicus. How can you hate something if you don't know any of the parts of it you're supposed to hate?

An insincere Imperial citizen hears about aliens and says he hates them; a true warrior seeks out the alien, so that he may bask fully in his hatred of it as he wretches his bayonet into the Grot's stomach again and again before blacking out.

My commanding officer's commanding officer's commanding officer was friends with a guy who's brother was on the spaceship as a guy who knew the techpriest that created a servitor that works on the forgeworld where the brand of cigar that Usakar Creed smokes is made.

Also, I've seen a picture of him before. We're comrades in arms; you wouldn't understand without having served among the glorious ranks of the Imperial Guard.
