Isn't that the whole point of the RVS? I admit 4 on a bandwagon on day 1 is odd and potentially a good start for investigations, as is perhaps, GS's first post. (However, it was a first post, most people were making generic 'statements of intent' to that effect at that point) , but everyone is going to be voting due to irrelevant nonsense on the first day, for the simple reason that there's nothing else to go on as of yet.

**Arctik_Firangi**

I have one very strong reason to suspect Orkeo, which should be obvious to all loyalists if they study his posts. I have mentioned that discrepancy in an earlier post... but I'm going to see if people can figure it out for themselves.

I'll tell you by the end of the day-phase if no one else picks it up. Gathering Storm is more of a hunch, I'm not afraid of obvious threats.

Edit: Addition of second paragraph, plus second edit to add edit to appease Dave

**Dastardly Dave**

Well, seeing as he's only made two of them and one of them was a Random Vote (probably), I'm having difficulty finding this discrepancy. His first post was perhaps a little on the 'I'm definately a space wolf, aroo!' side, but that could be explained by it being an intro post and a very amusing jab at the SW fluff.

Still, I may notice it, but you'll probably have to point it out to me.

**Dastardly Dave**

Also, what was the edit for? Put a bit saying: 'EDIT: I did this thing' so we can all tell why you edited the post if you edit any other posts of yours.

**Gathering Storm**

I think I can think see where Arctik_Firangi is coming from. I'm not a 100% sure but I think it is due to his SW name...

Due to his deductive skills and my hunch about him I'll withdraw my retaliation vote and change it to a random one.*Rolls a D12 he found while tidying* *Rolls a 12*. Completely random vote goes to Orkeosaurus.

Unvote: Arctik_Firangi
Vote: Orkeosaurus

EDIT: Edited post to put votes in bold.

**Arctik_Firangi**

Excuse me if I do not change my vote at this time.
I don't think it would be prudent for me to make any more constructive contributions until the remaining players (just Manchu and Lord_Syphonius I think) have participated... and on that note, where the hell are they?

**Gathering Storm**

That is fine, I do not mind. I was wondering the same about the wherabouts of Manchu and Syphonius . . .

**Inquisitor_Syphonious**

Oh i've just been reading. I need some painting to do before the NOVA open, so I don't really want to get into any long debates during dayphase one.

I'll probably vote for Lord of Battles eventually, just because he did some serious bandwagoning, bandwagoning on day one is how I caught a lead in the inquisition mafia game after all!

I'm Utric Ironfang, and I have a beard thank you very much.

**Arctik_Firangi**

Well met, Utric, Son of Russ. Your mighty beard and fangs reflect the vigor of your glorious Primarch.

**Manchu**

Random die rolls? SOUNDS LIKE WITCHCRAFT TO ME.

Vote: Gathering Storm

**SagesStone**

Dave, do you see anyone else going to such lengths as to describe what they're wearing?

**TherVadam**

Just wanna put it out there, that though I voted for Arctik_Firangi, I immediately withdrew my vote when it became clear that there were those that were trying to bandwagon against him.

**Arctik_Firangi**

I'd very much like to hear why you are concerned about descriptions of appearance.

**SagesStone**

It seemed odd as they seemed to be trying to fit in with the Space Wolves a little too much. It was like "I'M A SPACE WOLF! I'M A SPACE WOLF! I'M A SPACE WOLF! I'M A SPACE WOLF! I'M A SPACE WOLF! I'M A SPACE WOLF! I'M A SPACE WOLF! I'M A SPACE WOLF! NO SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS, I'M A SPACE WOLF!"

**Dastardly Dave**

The above post needs more Wolf.

Unvote: Not_u.

If you are a loyalist, then I suggest you don't attempt to disrupt the normal roleplaying aspects of this game, especially when the manner in which narrative description is performed has been demonstrated as a good foundation for suspicion. If you are against us, then by all means, keep trying to make Orkeo's damning slip-up look like a harmless quip.

**Gathering Storm**

The idea of rollong a dice was me copying Viking Scotts idea. I mean, if it is a 'Random Voting Stage' then the votes may as well be, well, random.

The young Wolf Brother settles down and sighs after explaining his actions to his fellow Wolves.

**Orkeosaurus**

"Alright you beardless pup! Come out and say something if you have a problem with me, or by Russ I'll kick your balls so far up your ass you'll have to join the Dark Angels!"

Olgaf Wolfaleruneaxefang stomped angrily onto the scene, after having been woken from his alcohol-induced stupor.

"Well? Let's hear it! You got a problem with my runes and wolf pelts? You got a problem with my name? You got a problem with the 38th? Maybe as you explain yourself to me you can also explain why your face looks like an eldar girl's shaved ass!"

**VikingScott**

eldar only have hair on their heads...

**Orkeosaurus**

"That's what I thought too, until my stay on Keldrik IV..."

The giant hairy man shudders.

**Gathering Storm**

*The young Astartes looks confused as he unable to determine who Brother Orkeosarus is directing his rage at.*

'So willing to bring harm to a brother astartes. That seems like the kind of actions a traitor would attempt.'

**TherVadam**

OOC: My understanding was that these sorts of games traveled out of the Role Playing aspect much faster than this, as it is easier to find heretics that way. Was I wrong about that? Or is this just a strange thread? Or is it really a lot shorter than I had believed.

**VikingScott**

From the previous threads i think it dies out round about the end of the first day. But it does help them the lynch text and night kill text.

**TherVadam**

I'm really sorry, but I did not understand that second sentence.

**VikingScott**

The story text? When a dude gets lynched? You suggested to Not_U in the last game to have Paul teabag your corpse remember?

**TherVadam**

Ah that's what you meant. Sorry, it's just I got confused with "it does help them". My mistake.

**VikingScott**

Yeah. Sorry I meant the host. (In this case Thor)

**TherVadam**

Right.

Rubbing the side of his face, the bald-headed warrior turns his head to Olgaf, exposing a large and twisted scar.
"Half a beard just didn't seem right, violent one. Perhaps you could ask some of our younger pups why one does not fire a Flamer into the wind, and you may learn a lesson yourself. We do not exact revenge on our brothers - we defend only our pride. Your hostility is noted, and your reasons are still unclear. Your intimate knowledge of Xenos anatomy is also suspicious."

OOC: I have a lot of shows to attend and reviews to write, starting an hour from now, followed by a 1300km trip that means I may not be able to contribute again until Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully not, but we'll see.

Orkeo's 'I'm a Spase Wulf' ploy is a good idea, but he has completely failed at being constructive... he is being necessarily disruptive, in fact.
