I'm voting for LotG as he's still not answering questions, he's using scummy logic and tbh I've had enough of this Space Marine thing too.

**Emperors Faithful**

@Gornall: So all we have to do to prove our innocence is try to kill ourselves?

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

I'm still voting for the_ferret.

The Imperium is NO PLACE for rushed poetic violence.

**Fifty**

I am now confident I should vote for the_ferret or Dark Lord Seanron. I am not certain they are genestealers, but they are seem a lot more suspicious than most people.

We still have time to change our votes, so I don't want to put the_ferret any closer to hammer dropping range just yet, though I may drop the hammer myself as we get closer to the end of the day. For now, I unvote ginger_nid_dude (who I still do not trust either) and vote Dark Lord Seanron.

If Lord-Loss and Emperor's Faithful are both genestealers, it seems unlikely they would vote together, which makes me suspect them less, unless it is a really good ruse. I am starting to trust them a little though.

**RustyKnight**

I'm still voting for the_ferret, as he's a threat to our ability to not drop the hammer. Who knows what his next "experiment" will entail.

**Emperors Faithful**

@Fifty: Thanks. I think...

**Lord-Loss**

You really shouldnt trust anyone, there are some I am less suspicous of then others. But I generally dont trust any of you

**Emperors Faithful**

Ouch.

Therefore I would think that you are a mercenary, if you were indeed part of this,'Ghost shadows,"chapter of space marines, wouldn't you be on this planet in force? I know that the astrates is powerful, but surely one marine isn't going to be able to save us all, also aren't you only a scout, which would make you even less powerful? They sure didn't help me and my men on Havcrom 3...but I'd rather not get into that. I still find your claims silly, and in all honesty I don't believe it one bit."

Mercenaries, okay, yes, but why would the shadow ghosts waste there members to save you? Let's see here, 70 members of the shadow ghosts, I believe 45 are not on Hackarr. But, we are picky, and half of our members are warp-benders. Oh, and all of our members have killed whole chaos hives.
I am not voteing because, at this point, it would be a waste of an vote.

**Lord-Loss**

OOC:LoG, you do see your story is incredibly childish and silly?

**Thor665**

OOC - just as a general note, the fluff aspect of the game is what it is and players are certainly allowed to create whatever persona they deem to within the fluff. If you find a given player's fluff stance unpalatable you just may not wish to discuss their fluff aspect with them.

(I do advocate lynching anyone who claims to be The Emperor reborn, a female Space Marine, or a Tyranid of any type, but these are just suggestions)

And, as usual, as long as I'm here;

With 15 alive it is 8 to Lynch
If the deadline were to hit now - the_ferrett would be lynched
Deadline countdown

Edit: Also, Dark lord Seanron has been prodded for being away for around 48 hours now. Everyone else has been most awesome and didn't need a prod (thanks!).

**the_ferrett**

Screw it, nothing I say will change anything. Voting for myself out of hopelessness is also now out so... vote Dark Lord Senron because I can.

**Gornall**

If you're truly a citizen, put out any information you might have, such as people you suspect and why. And I wouldn't go so far as to say your lynch is even immenient yet. We've got days left before the deadline. Don't give up and keep talking.

**the_ferrett**

Actually for several hours now I've been trying to prove to you Gornall that I'm not stealer quality. Who do I suspect? Well current my biggest gut feeling is for someone not currently voting for me. Seeing as the tendancy for people to retalitory vote.... would you mind if I didn't say who?

**Gornall**

Okay.... then why did you give that speech when you dropped a vote on Dark_O?

**the_ferrett**

Because said vote without the ho-hah is the act of a scalpel. I only act with sledgehammers. Sometimes a smaller sledgehammer, but why be subtle?

**Deff Dread red Edition**

@LotG:"Is it not the duty of your chapter to protect the good citizens of the emperor? Surely it goes hand in hand with your scourging of mutants and heretics?"

**Emperors Faithful**

>_< Is this a possible clue from the gamemaster?

@everyone who is voting for the_ferret: I have to say I'm not entirely sure why the_ferret would throw in such a blatant act if he were a genestealer. It's far too obvious.

On the other hand, it could have been a self-sacrificial act in order to draw attention to himself. After all there are three of them, so maybe he thought the opportunity to end a day early with a quick lynch was too good to miss, even if it branded him a stealer.

**SagesStone**

That's what I was thinking and why my vote hasn't changed yet. If anything those who aren't voting at the moment should seem suspicious as the deadline is pretty close.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

"I am not voting mainly due to the fact that my vote now would be for The_Ferrett. However, if I do vote for him he will have 6 votes against him and I would worry that the genestealers would then jump on the band wagon and lynch him. As I am not wholey sure that he is a genestealer, he might just be a bumbling citizen whom worded something wrong."

**Emperors Faithful**

He worded a whole attempted hammer drop wrong?

**the_ferrett**

Isn't my goal, any way you slice it, to survive myself? I'm the only one who knows for certain what I am, and dying doesn't help me any way you slice it. Therefore being labelled a stealer is the thing I want the least. Cause I'm not.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

"I do agree that was most strange however, I meant the things after that. He is seemingly speaking in strange little riddles. I just don't want to lynch a citizen, perhaps it is inevitable, however, I do not want his blood on my hands!"

It is ultimately the team you want to win. You yourself are irrelevant. Ussualy one may feel that he can only help the team if he's alive, and that's right to some extent. However, with genestealers it's different. A genestealer team knows who is who (basically) and thier strategy could very easily entail the sacrifice of one of thier team member in order to further their goals.

Look at it this way, if you had indeed offed Drk_O like it seemed you intended, then we would be short one Pro-Town citizen (assuming he's not a stealer) when we went into the night phase AND we would have had almost no dialouge to use as evidence. The genestealers strike at night. On day two you would likely gotten a swift lynching, meaning that another day would have gone by without much talking. Then the genestealers strike again.

So on Day 3 we now have 3 Pro-Town dead and 1 Genestealer dead (assuming that you are indeed a stealer). AND there's still not much in the way of previous evidence to go on. This is exactly the kind of scenario a genestealer would want.

I am inclined to land another vote on you, but Deff Dread is right that it may lead to a quick lynch by stealers. If you do nothing to exonerate yourself then I may throw in my vote closer to the deadline.

Your reluctance to risk the death of an innocent is honourable. Unfortunately, honour and innocence means little in this god-forsaken jungle.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

"Or does it, in times like this when we lose our compassion for the innocent or our own honour we become just as bad as the genestealers, if not worse then them. They kill because of instinct and an uncontrollable need to do as such, I will not stoop so low."

OOC: Yes I know that sounded preachy.

**the_ferrett**

For firetrucks sake! What the heck can I say to prove to you? What can I do!?!

**Emperors Faithful**

You could explain exactly what the feth you were thinking...

@Deff Dread: Preachy indeed.

**the_ferrett**

I tried! I failed! I don't think I'll be voting again after that.

**Emperors Faithful**

Try again. What was your goal in attempting to drop the hammer? Try to be literate...this time.

**the_ferrett**

I knew there was no hope of Drk_O being destroyed, especially as at least two of the 'hold offers' were alert (online) and so I thought I could try to play mind games with you and Lord Loss because I found myself agreeing with you both mentally too much. I'm not going to mindless drone without knowing who I'm following. If Drk_O that would have been a shame, but I had to bluff up my moment else I would have looked like a sneaky b-stard trying to slip an execute through on the sly.
