Why lie about what?

The fact that noone knows anything. We're completely oblivious and as you shoot me, just remember.... you didn't get it right.

"Perhaps we have nothing, but since we have no definitive test that we can use to pick out the genestealers among us, we act on the evidence that has been presented, in the form of several peoples comments and we act upon it. Your actions and answers, perhaps even your general attitude has been strange throughout the course of this entire day! Be it your hammer drop speech, cryptic answers or other factors you have become a prime suspect in most people's minds. So even if we get it wrong, at least our list is narrowed and the decision was founded on fact. So even if you are a citizen, and you happen to die you are still helping our cause. May you go with the emperor."

Yet me voting someone despite the oblivious nature of all the votes was enough to warrant me a suspect... strange that...

Then good luck Seanron.

I was actually drawing attention to the fact that you're voting me for the very reason that people are now voting for you over, and YOU'RE lamenting that fact!

I voted for you for self preservation to about half of my reasoning

It appears that DLS did NOT vote for the_ferret when the votes were against him becuase he may very well have realised that would have branded him as someone hanging on for dear life and throwing his vote in an effort to make sure the_ferret was lynched.

It was either a great demonstration of DLS sticking to his guns (stubborn grox ), or a sign of a playa who sees the bigger picture. *squint suspiciously*

While te destruction of the ferret would mean one less xenos in this emporer forsaken jungle, we should now be wary as night draws in. The morning will reveal to us one more innocent casualy I fear.

Also, EF, why the suspicous squint? Only genestealers squint

Them, and the short-sighted kid

For good or ill, it looks like the_ferret's time is up...

Goodbye, and if you are innocent, sorry.

Does our resident spehs mahrin have anything to say?

Hang on a sec.

Let's do a recap of votes. Just explain who you're voting for and why. (Or why you're not voting)

Deadline countdown

Only about 2 hours left till deadline.

I am voting for Ferret because I believe that he tried to drop the hammer on Dark_O. I also was worried that he might be in with DLS (both of who were pushing for a fast lynch IMO). However, when I switched my vote from Ferret to DLS, several other people quickly jumped over, giving really no real reason. I thought this was curious and could be a sign of Ferret being a traitor and his cohorts trying to save him. That was my major tie-breaker between him and DLS.

I think Gornall has hit the hammer right on the nail (or whatever the metaphor Is)

Vote: The_Ferret

I dont think it matters much, but I want to show where I stand. I am still suspicous of DLS though.

The dismal rain still splashes down upon the hab tents, making a sharp staccato sound as it drums along the plas-steel roof. You all sit in the cramped interior, voices raised in sharp debate as the humidity of the rain outside keeps the air thick and heavy with the sweat and frustration growing amongst you.

The ferret, a quiet man who was always convinced he had a plan, had begun talking loudly of his assurances regarding a few tell tale experiments he claims to have already tested you all with. Itchy tempers soon led to itchy trigger fingers as others argued against his methods. An argument is raised against supposed bloodthirstiness from the old veteran, Dark Lord Seanron. Votes and debate begin to pendulum back and forth between the two options. As dusk finally began to creep up, heavy and dark, and the interior of the hab tent became lit only by the flickering glow of the security lamps a decision was reached. The ferret seemed almost resigned as you all tallied the votes and turned towards him. He clenched his hands tightly but managed to resist the urge to beg like a woman or pathetically go for his gun.

A quick and searingly bright flash of laspistol fire erupted in the tent as eight of you gunned him down efficiently and the ferret toppled out of his seat to slump to the floor. The thick smell of burned flesh assaults your nostrils as you all move forward to investigate the body. Going through his pockets all you find is a copy of ‘Cunning Word Trap Experiments and You!’ and a WWCD (what would Creed do?) button.

the_ferret was an Imperial Citizen!

Night closes around the camp as you all spread out and try to find a safe place to sleep with your back against a solid surface and your gun pointed outward.

Day 1 is over.
Night 1 has now begun.
Deadline countdown begins from this post
------------------------------------------------------

If you are a Genestealer you may now PM your allies to discuss who you wish to kill – please have someone PM me that information once you have decided.
If you are a power role that has a night action you may also now PM me with your targets.
If you’re a regular Imperial Citizen then good luck surviving the night.

Night Phase will end at the deadline or when I have received all night actions – whichever comes first.

Night 1 deadline countdown

ohh well we were probably going to get a citien anyway

*Shhhh*

No talking.

::Smacks Moe and Curly on the back of their heads::

Just as a bit of awareness we are basically halfway through the Night Phase now. Remember that if your night action comes in after deadline it will not be counted.

He was starting to become convinced that this accursed rain would never cease. The campsite was drenched in billowing waves of rain that turned the upturned earth of the excavation site into a muddy morass. His feet sank into it up past the calves with each sodden step and a thick squelching noise could be heard over the pattering drops as he pulled his foot free to continue his slow march forward.

The was a damned place, of that much he was sure. He had hopped that he would have more help on this mission, but if there were others here who were trained like him they had kept themselves silent. Not that he could blame them, he had done the same thing. After all, if he had advertised to the xenos that he was here he was certain they would have come for…

The faint clicking sound behind him, like throaty snickering perhaps, or mayhap an insectoid chirping cause him to spin around. Moving with perfect grace and blinding speed his laspistol slid easily into his hand as he dropped into a ready combat crouch and scanned the area behind him carefully. No…no, it had been nothing. Perhaps exhaustion playing tricks on his mind or just the foulness of this place affecting him. He turned back to the revealed doorway they had dug out and began plotting how to best use the demo charges he had brought with him to start a mudslide that would bury it again. The presence of the xenos here suggested a connection between their activities and the rumors he had heard of what was behind this portal. He had to make sure he could slow them down until help could arrive and figured a few tons of muddy earth and stone would hinder their efforts nicely.

The mud around his feet suddenly exploded upward as a figure burst forth. Another sprang down from above, dragging him to the ground as a third cackled and clicked happily to itself as it stalked forward, clawed hands emerging from under its rain slicked poncho.

“Xenos scum,” he snarled in defiance as he struggled to reach his gun, but their grip was as hard as stone and sure as steel and he couldn’t. He spat out his final words. “Do your wor-“

You awaken groggy and uneasy in the morning, greeted by the crackling of thunder and the sharp ozone charged flashes of lightning that paint the morning in an eerie greenish glow. You stagger stiffly out of the narrow crevice you had used for shelter and ready your weapons as you prepare to continue trying to figure out the xenos amongst you. Heading towards the heart of the camp you come up short at the sight before you. Others are drifting in from their sleeping spots as well and all of you now sit and look up at the sight before you.

His body suspended from the tree by his own entrails, his face mauled and chewed beyond recognition. It is only by his ever beloved custom laspistol that you recognize the figure in hanging before you.

Emperors Faithful is dead.

You quickly search his remains for any clues. All you manage to uncover is a bloodied Ecclesiarchal document verifying his position as an Imperial Assassin.

Emeprors Faithful was the Officio Assassinorium Operative

Day 2 deadline countdown

"Well that's... unfortunate." I say glancing over the bloodied document. Habitually I reach into my pocket and procure a Ilho stick, placing it between my lips I inhale the smoke deeply. Dropping the papers into the mud I clutch the grip of my lascarbine. "So after all that we are down too loyalists and have no idea who too trust, we took out the most obvious, perhaps its time to take a closer look?"

Very unfortunate indeed. The beasts got very lucky to overpower an assassin overnight. At least his presence likely means that the xenos are our only threat. (OOC: No Night Lord)

I am unsure how to approach today, as I honestly thought that we had a good chance of Ferret being scummy.

Aye. At least we know there is no ferret-DLS alliance.

Yeah... Or is there?
Well that sucks, we lost the Assassin on the first night. Damn lucky bugs
Now what do we do fellow loyalists? Do we go after DLS, as there still seemed to be a fair bit of suspicion of him left around the time the hammer was dropped, or do we reassess the situation and instead look for new possible traitors?

I dont think dls in a stealer as he has had no rely scummy things

I dont see how this makes DLS innocent RustyKnight. Quick to finish the day, aint you N0t_u?

Why dont you confess now and we will end it quickly.

I didn't say that DLS was innocent, I merely stated that he wasn't in an alliance with ferret. That pairing was suggested earlier.

Given how wrong I was yesterday, I don't expect many to agree with me, but my suspicions now fall with dark lord seanron. For most of you, when I Vote: Dark Lord Seanron, I willl be doing something you want to do, yet don't want to be first to do so

I believe I may have suggested the Dark Lord Seanron/the_ferret connection.

Clearly I was in error.

I will take some time to evaluate my suspicions of Dark Lord Seanron in light of the night's events before voting again.
