You both trust BrotherStynier? I can't verify that as confidently as he did for me. Regardless of the safety even of the feeling of being safe feels.

Though I have been able to form links between people I havnt been right once.

I have very little against Ultrafool Gwar short of the question I asked the three that Ultrafool answered with what I expected.

There's no way I could of nailed both with that.

<OOC> Edited twice so it makes a lil more sence to why I cast doubt on BrotherStynier.

We represent half of what is left.

The odds are that one of us three maybe even two are xenos.

What is one to do?

If this is how it actually is I will enjoy the laugh after I am dead

:: Has a nervous laugh ::

[logic] well, in this late stage, our foe will seek a quick vote to even out the numbers, and allow the ene,y to overpower whomever is left.

To that end they will either:

(a) watch how the converation turns and pounce on a lynch when it is most convenient

(b) or cause panic with quick and rapid voting.

Ultrafool has been incredibly quiet so I find it hard to form a consensus on him. However his lack of verbal defence of himself could be damning.

Gwar jumped on your vote very quickly and with no real explanation other then "oh, I think your guilty"

Valhallan voted for Gwar afterward, stating logic. Whether this is true or not I cannot say. He does frequently base his vote on the feelings of others.

[concur] I like you Frenzied feel lost. In front of me are three individuals, two I know to be xenos. An incorrect choice willl lead to the death of us all...

Yes Gwars! vote did not go un noticed most people who do vote with me agreed with a sentiment or a link I found. BrotherStynier knew I am willing to die to find the truth. By coming out with me it made us both targets...both targets are alive to this point...If him or I died it could of brought someone up. I dont see him as being a xenos.

Ultrafool's lack of voice is indeed a problem.

Is keeping quite really a bad thing? Then again if someone pointed at you I would think a normal person would fight like hell...

[logic] then by your logic that leaves Ultrafool and Valhallan.

If Stynier is who he says he is then we have our xenos.

If is the keyword here.

I believe the reason I am alive is since the people I am going after are innocent and most of the time my reasoning is sound but the result was in err. So I make an error and target an innocent it is a good guess that most will vote with me. I find at least a worthy amount to doubt DLS...Gwar jumped on first. The exactly opposite of what he started as...

Valhallan Ultrafool could make sense but I am not fully satisfied.

As you state it is a big "if."

<OOC> Fixed English

Keeping quiet means flying under the radar, unnoticed. No one can pin anything on you because you've said nothing.

For as wrong as I've been, I don't think anyone can accuse me of being quiet.

[query] do you believe Stynier to be an inquisitor?

<OOC> Deleted Double Post

No I do not.

Exonerating me helps my situation but I ask why?

If I am to be a proper acolyte I need to be finding heretics not making friends. Up until the point he did that I was seriously considering him. So I let it play by and I watched how he reacted. People came at me with harsher responses when they heard I was an acolyte.

Also as a through and through inquisitor he should be sharper but came up with nothing?

He hasn't pointed at anyone since. Pointing at people rouses suspicion and forces defense to be made and conversations to be had. How can we gather evidence without action?

I firmly believe no decision is far more dangerous then a bad decision. Hesitation has a hell of a price. What we three are doing is exactly what a decision creates. A lack of voting would of been us sitting around waiting...waiting...to die.

<OOC> Additional comment.

[concur] indeed, although he has been the only one to present the seal...that is indeed a potent act in these harsh times. His survival and lack of his own accusations is indeed peculiar...

Valhallan what do you make of this?

I've stated my peace.

At this point, since another Inquisitor hasn't come forth, it's likely that BrotherStynier is who he says he is.

People are out to frame me. People are out to frame DLS. That point to him being human, and I know I'm human.

That eliminates four out of six, leaving the lurk-lurk twins as our likely suspects. Of course, if BrotherStynier is a xenos, then we're all dead.

My vote will stand for Gwar, or would go for Ultrafool if you feel he is more likely.

I will not die without at least trusting one person. This person is you Dark Lord Seanron. I believe this is the only way that we all have a chance. If I am wrong well at least my fall came from a person of great understanding and logic. Better to be killed through reason and intelligence lest be some ork.

So where do we go from here? My idea would be to look at all the survivors one by one and go through behavoir or notable actions. Perhaps between the two of us we can better see the xenos for what they are.

<OOC> Better to die by a robots hands then your own. At least it won't be an accident on their part

[query] your either very smart in suggesting Ultrafool as well Valhallan...or innocent, I am not certain which...

Smart being is if I am a xeno and suggest those two?

Or Since I am innocent I suggest those two as worthy choices?

[loading historic data]

Stynier - claims to be Inquisitor. admittedly has made no bad votes or swing judgements. Suspicion: low at this point

Gwar! - quiet swing voter. cannot ignore attempt to lynch myself with lack of evidence. Stalks in shadows along with Ultrafool. Suspicion: reasonably high

Ultrafool - quiet. has become quieter after several votes. admittedly have lost proverbial sight of him due to his low profile. Suspicion: reasonably high, if Stynier is to be believed

Valhallan - Sycophantic swing voter, is prone to panic. However, out of the others he has attempted to atone for previous wrong votes and is the only one out of the above who claims innocence. Suspicion: High

[additional] I was addressing Valhallan with the last comment - ([query] your either very smart in suggesting Ultrafool as well Valhallan...or innocent, I am not certain which...)

::nervous laugh:: Since gut feeling wasn't working out so well, I decided logic might be a better choice.

Stynier: Very hard to get answers from. I have not seen hasty or swing vote changes. This was the only thing I have trouble trying to figure out.

I say we kill DarkO, if he is indeed one of the xenos than his death will only serve to clear my name

Was this a smart move or a mistake?

(OOC: that's me for tonite guys, shall be back 2moz ^^ be safe!!)

Gwar / Ultrafool

I said this:

There are very few leads I have left but worth looking into. The link between Drk_Oblit and Brotherstynier died with Oblit.

Gwar / Ultrafool / Lord Loss

I pose a question to you three.

If there are three people how can you guarantee a secret be kept between the three?



Ultrafool answered:

I knew my gut was right about Drk_O not being the traitor. And Gornall is amongst the dead.

Frenzied potato, I think I have an answer for your question. In order to keep the secret you must kill two of the three. If I am correct then you are implying that two of the three you listed are the culprits.

Not as much evidence but this is where the line of questioning ended. He didnt pursue it anymore.

Valhallan this is against you:


BrotherStynier wrote:"Hmm I figure its about time to do this... There are two people in this room I know not to be Genestealers for a fact. Those people are Frenzied Potato and myself..." I reach into my coat pocket producing my Inquisitorial Rosarius and Writ, "I am the Inquisitor and last night in my investigations I discovered that the man I thought to be a xenos was in fact who he said he was."



BrotherStynier, I want to beleive you, but surely you must have more information that this? All you know is that Frenzied Potato is innocent, after three nights of investigation?

You may claim any position you want, Sir. Any one of us could make a similar claim. Without proper access to the Terran interfaces, there is no way to prove your writ is anything but so many words. And those same interfaces are unavailable while we are encased in a Gellar Field, a fact that you surely must know. The fact that you voted for the deaths of both Airman and Drk_oblit, both innocent, and you did not know about the traitor Manchu leaves something to be said...

You must pardon my scepticism, BrotherStynier, but at this point, we cannot trust any such claims. We have only our gut feelings to follow.

You posted this. What made your doubt fade?

<OOC> A pleasure DLS should be interesting. I am heading out as well. Cheers will be back tomalow.

Again, it's because no-one else came forward.

::quick check of the scenarios:: Hold on, BrotherStynier could be lying through his teeth. I thought all the scenarios that had a Sanctioned Psyker had an inquisitor.

Damn it. There goes the whole thing again. Feth.

What action was prevented on your part?

An investigation into our ranks was prevented by the Magus.

I understand everyone's lack of faith in my abilities, only one investigation had proven successful in our time here and that was the investigation of Frenzied. Mekboy was killed by the genestealers before the day, and the traitor Manchu was slain as well, something I would have had to do myself. And now I claim that last night my investigation was stopped before it started by a Magus. As to the remarks about me not being very sharpe as in Inquisitor let me ask you this, would you announce who you are straight off the bat or try and wait until you have more evidence? I hid in the shadows and acted the Old Arbites to try and take attention off of myself whilst still attempting to assist against the xenos.

What I find suspicious is that two people that were against each other have suddenly become allies, it almost seems like something the genestealers would do to guide the voting towards others and away from themselves. Seanron you've just decided to put aside you hostility towards Frenzied for what appears little reason other than saving yourself.

Stynier,

At this point, I don't know what to think. I want to beleive you, but there is no proof you can give any of us to convince us totally. The only thing that I know for a fact is that I am human. I thought I had it figured out, but now, I'm not sure.

unvote:gwar!

If you are human trust your instincts and may the Emperor have mercy on your soul if you are wrong.

OCC. sorry have to share the computer with five other people. Posting at school nows.

Many of you are going more suspicous of me since I am am not speaking as much as I should and am sorry for that.

BrotherStynier wrote:If you are human trust your instincts and may the Emperor have mercy on your soul if you are wrong.

Then whom do you suspect, BrotherStynier?

I am an Inquisitor, I have to suspect everyone, save those whose names I've cleared. I regret not being able to clear yours last night.

BrotherStynier wrote:I am an Inquisitor, I have to suspect everyone, save those whose names I've cleared. I regret not being able to clear yours last night.

I don't believe you are Stynier, you revealed your position yesterday and it would seem to me that you would be a great target for the killers since you said you were the inquisitor. But you are not dead, so which seems to me that you are one of the killers, or that the culprits are really stupid not to kill you in the night.

Or the genestealers knew that killing me wouldn't help as I said I expected them to come for me. They know who I am and have a Magus, why would they have to kill me when they can just block my powers and let you do it for them?
