OOC: Last time it created the occasional large gap between my posts and that appeared suspicious.
Wishing to remain quiet means you want to pass by without gaining too much attention. I'm not saying we should spam, its just that it seems odd you would want to hold off voting unless you wanted to not gain any attention.

IC: Speaking of little to no reason, you yourself started voting for me for even less reason than my own vote. Fairly more suspicious than my own vote. How do you know it wasn't simply my way of getting people to talk myself.

Perhaps you are actually casting your gaze on me to draw the gaze of the other loyalists away from yourself. How did I seem suspicious, I generally want to know, was it because I asked the Emperor for protection from the foul mutants that are stalking us and that you fear his almighty gaze of justice upon you. Or was it because I claimed that Thor was the best scribe and you are mearly jealous of this fact. Now is not the time to be petty, the enemy stalks us and we won't find them by simply yelling at each other. The foul beasts hiding in the shadows, laughing at the chaos they have unleased upon the servants of the Imperium.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

I was simply stating what I noticed over our time in the work place, all huddled in your cubical and overly anxious to please, as if you were trying to kiss up to the deceased and now he's gone you turn to the second best of us in attempt to get close.

My questioning of you is not out of jealousy, I am content with my given place as it is where the God-Emperor wishes us to be. Surely this is all a test to prove ourselves worthy in the Emperor's eyes.

**SagesStone**

Yes it is our lord testing us, we will prevail for he protects and guides us. You should know that I haven't been quite right since the accident. Remember you were there, a huge pile of books collapsed on top of me and the wife, killed her and left me with brain damage. All I have left now is my faith in the Emperor, I have endured my test for years, yet it is nothing to his endurance. I worked hard not to seem great to Adept Booba, but for the Emperor. I was simply showing my respect to Thor's ability as a scribe for it helps our lord watch over us and records the information gathered by his servants for the future in case we need the information of the past to help the Imperium move forward.

**Gornall**

I am of the opinion that EVERYONE should be throwing out votes so we can use our number-crunching skills to pick up on the latent patterns in the voting. I think certain members' refusal to vote at all is somewhat interesting and bears further observation.

**Mekboy**

I don't remember any such incident, n0t_u.

Vote n0t_u

**Gornall**

What incident?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

I don't recall n0t_u's incident either. Gornall, we refer to the incident we refer to is the bookshelf collapse.

That part at least makes sense to me, but then there's this...

n0t_u wrote:Suspicious how? Perhaps it is because I'm locked into a role that I have no idea about. Or maybe it is simply because I was the loyalist assassin and you, the possible traitor, fear that I might get a lucky first assassination and get either you or another traitor.

For the record, if anyone here is more then a scribe and still serves the Emperor, like a Inquisitor or doctor type person, I think it would behoove us all that you remain silent about that fact for at least a day. That said, I do feel obligated to ask n0t_u, what in the universe he is talking about here? Surely you are not claiming to be a member of the Officio Assasinorium who has brain damage from falling books... ::edges away from n0t_U just in case::

Ah... that makes sense. I am having a hard time understanding his babble.

**airman**

VOTE: Arheiner
Laxity is a sin against the Emperor.

**Lord-Loss**

**Gornall**

I think Lord of Ghosts is being entirely too quiet... (again

).

**Arheiner**

If people are going to view me as suspicious for wanting some evidence before voting, then I'll play the game by their rules

VOTE: n0t_U

I know I can trust myself, and if someone's going against me straight away despite my innocence, then I'm going to retaliate.

**Thor665**

@ Lord-Loss - in future vote counts would it be possible to include in front of the names the total number of people voting for each person? It will make it easier (at least for me) to at a glance see where we are at. Thanks in advance.

Arheiner - that seems like an awfully fast reversal of your previously stated concept of how to vote. Also, just voting for a person because they voted for you seems an odd tack. How do you see retaliation votes as being helpful to us?

**VictorVonTzeentch**

Indeed Thor, his quick jump to vote for the person that cast judgment upon him is oddly suspicious, particularly since two votes have been cast on him prior. Though is this the work of a panicked man, or a traitorous xeno?

**SagesStone**

OCC: No I'm not, that was an OOC comment about the last game. I made up the incident about the falling books, as Styner had invented a situation that also occured before the game to try and back up his claim, rather dumb in my opinion. But, I retaliated to it by making up my own incident. But, I really think making up crap before the game takes place is a really low way to try and convince everyone of your claim, or rather distraction.

It is clear to me now that Arheiner isn't simply hiding in the background although his bandwagoning vote is understandable. My suspicion is now turned to Styner, trying to manipulate the others subtly from the back ground. Claiming my tactic as heretical, even though his was more dodgey. I had a valid reason for my vote, he had to make up stuff that occured before the game to back up his own. Then claims my own way of rejecting his idea as suspicious when he himself actually caused it to begin with. Without his before game event, my one would simply not exist because I would not have to waste a post with irrelivant information just to undo any possible damage done by his own lie.

Unvote: Arheiner

Vote: BrotherStynier
I'm disappointed in everyone that fell for such a crappy trick so quickly.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

OOC: I pointed out nothing in particular and simply used normal work place prejudices. I didn't come up with a singular event. For all you could have known up to this point the two that voted for you after me are the xenos, working in an attempt to cause you to vote for me, which would look suspicious if we didn't end up voting for you to be lynched and then you died in the night.

I would reply with an In Character response but there is noting IC in your post.

**SagesStone**

Perhaps they are Xenos, but they can just as easily not be. While it would be supicious, you making up events that in turn convinced them to seem much more suspicious. It would be like the Xenos to act that way then try to turn the blame onto those who he had tricked.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

OOC: I still fail to see any made up events, the sucking up was assumed from the way you quickly tried to be like that with Thor, I'm using what I'm given.

IC: Or having stated from the get go that my goal was to attempt to lure people into voting for one person so they could be questioned about why. The questioning of Arheiner is already taking place, we simply need to begin speaking with Mekboy.

You created this in attempt to make me look more suspicious, an event that never happened. I had to make that story in order to counter act it. Yet all the claims of heretic are thrown at me for this, why is that? Is it because you've managed to craft a few puppets or perhaps that one of the ones who so easily joined with you are actually a traitor as well.

IC: You even just admitted it then, you claimed to lure people into voting for the same person. Then you add on a small bit to the end to try to cover the fact that you just slipped up and admitted that you are in fact trying manipulte the others into following your own heretical plan.

OOC: As I have stated, I worked that around you claiming Thor to have been the best scribe amongst us. So you started making things up first. Now lets have fun and try not to get butt hurt anymore.

IC: My dear scribe you are being willfully ignorant of a plan I announced to everyone alittle while ago. If they are so foolish to walk right into it when I had specifically stated that by doing so they would be more suspicious to me, I find that giving away my plan would be an incredibly horrid idea and quite easily lead to my doom if I were the xenos. We may not see eye to eye, but wouldn't allow harm to come to a fellow human, I just couldn't stomach the idea that you would have died because of me.

**SagesStone**

OCC: Alright then everyone ignore the story I made up thats set before the game, obviously I just had another stupid moment

Just to add it wasn't trying to suck up to Thor I just thought that basically saying the exact same thing as everyone else would have been kind of dumb. We can only have so many "Dear Emeperor" style openings before they seem to be annoying.
Good thing we seem to have worked that out, cause that was draining away all the fun of the game for me.

IC: Fine then I'll go along with your plan for now, if it will help us see the Emperor's hand pointing out the traitors. I honestly thought you were trying to convince the others to go after me because of my faith in the Emperor. Seeing as you're not we might as well stop fighting and try to find the real heretics so we may cleanse the universe of them in the name of the Emperor.

From now on I'll have to put a fair bit more thought into who I think is the traitor because it seems that everyone is still a bit jumpy, but that can be expected from the scene that we saw earlier today.
Unvote: BrotherStynier

OCC: @Thor: The role I was referring to was that of a Scribe, like everyone else.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

OOC: Sounds good to me.

IC: I'm glad we could reach an understanding.

UNVOTE: n0t_U VOTE:Mekboy

Now Mekboy, why did you vote for our fellow? It couldn't have simply been because of his story, could it?

**Gornall**

*Comes out of his calculating meditation* (OOC:: woke up and logged back on to Dakka)

It looks like I have missed a lot in the past few minutes. I think Arheiner's behavior is slightly suspect as he was adamant about not voting, but as soon as someone had multiple votes against them, he jumped on them. However, I'm a long way from voting for anyone besides our cheese-smelling comrade. I do not think his cheese smell is indication of being a heretic, but our time will be much more bearable with it gone. If he promises to bathe, however, I will drop my vote against him. *Laughs at his own stupid jokes*

In all seriousness, he has not responded to my vote against him, and until he does it will stay there. My plan is to continue voting for people to force them to talk before moving on to the next suspect.

OOC:: Can we get a prod on LotGs? He's being uncharacteristically quiet.

**Thor665**

((OOC - maybe he's just trying a new tactic of not saying something immensely scummy seeming within the first three pages.))

**Gornall**

OOC:: LOL... Watch him be the traitor this game. When he's innocent he acts guilty and maybe the inverse is true.

**Lord-Loss**

Ok Pod on LoG coming up, I will pm his replacement too.

**Mekboy**

UNVOTE: n0t_U VOTE:Mekboy

Now Mekboy, why did you vote for our fellow? It couldn't have simply been because of his story, could it?

It was me simply trying to get some more votes out, and with few votes before me, I decided to cast out a random vote. However, you seeming to be jumping about on your votes somewhat hastily.

**VictorVonTzeentch**

My voting has gone from luring to an attempt to force conversation, and this is about you and choosing to vote for someone with a vote already on him. Hardly seems random, my jump to you has everything to do with that, and like I have mentioned is trying to spark discussion.

**Mekboy**

Yes, my vote was completely random. (OOC: I even rolled a dice for it!). If you insist, I'll re-vote.
