Manchu wrote:Orkeosaurus is certainly not above my suspicions--and I don't believe much of what he says about his alleged past--but the fact that L-L and Demogerg are so opportunistically eager to isolate either him or I is to my mind damning evidence of their conspiratorial intentions. If you're both loyal citizens, then let's have it out in the open. Why did you move against Valhallan? You criticize me for pointing to Orkeosaurus but unlike your judgment in this matter, mine has not yet proven disastrously mistaken.

And out of we remaining five, moreover, only I have had the conviction to call upon the Emperor--who endowed His children not only with divine hatred but also the blessing of intellect to direct that hatred more precisely against His enemies--to formulate some sort of plan for rooting out the traitor, while the rest of you have stood about agog and shifty. That makes you all appear fit the bill of brainless, sub-human xenos, by the way.

Orkeosaurus may be spinning lies, as I certainly think he is, but the others of you have presumed to do nothing but level suspicions. And that makes you all the more suspicious.

You do a nice job as pointing the blame all around, when you know that a single wrong vote cast will end this tormented existance for the lot of us. You also do a good job stirring doubt and encouraging others to vote where you are not willed enough too.

You claim to be of His-divine blessing of intellect, yet you have not enlightened us to the knowledge you are privy to, you have only sewn doubt and suspicion. If you were truely blessed, you would be honor bound to protect us with this knowledge, as the Emperor protects us from distant Holy Terra.

You are not progressing the motives of us Citizens, you are merely pushing that we are all Xenos. I, as a loyalist, am attempting to help the situation by pointing my finger at the one who I think has posted as the largest threat to us all.

**Orkeosaurus**

I? A threat? Maybe to the Alien, Demogerg (if that is your real name), but I am a protector of Humankind.

Both you and Lord Loss have been quite accusatory. Unless Manchu is playing everyone for a fool with his talk of "planning against the genestealers" and his little martyrdom stunt (not an impossibility), then either you or Lord Loss (or the both of you) is a genestealer.

Now, I'm a little suspicious of Gwar as well. He seems to be hiding in the back, playing the run-of-the-mill scared civilian. I was distrustful of Jwelvis before he died for the same reason.

**Manchu**

The facts are simple. Out of the five remaining, Gwar!, Demogerg, and Lord-Loss, all voted for Valhallan. Orekosaurus voted for me while I initially voted for him but then switched to voting for me in order to save Valhallan and draw out the genestealers. But let's look closer.

I voted for Orkeosaurus, not believing his convoluted stories.

Valhallan defended Orkeo and votes for Gwar!

Demogerg voted for Valhallan. He said Valhallan was "quick to accuse" even though I was the first to accuse anyone.

Orkeosaurus voted for me.

Gwar! voted for Valhallan.

Lord-Loss voted for Valhallan.

Seeing Valhallan cornered for no reason, I then attempted to slow things down. I changed my vote to myself, knowing that it would be impossible to kill Valhallan unless Orkeosaurus changed his vote to Valhallan or Jwelvis spoke up. With two votes against me already, I bet that I'd seem an easier target to the xenos and that if one of those voting for Valhallan (Gwar!, Demogereg, and Lord-Loss) were to flip, I could be reasonably sure that he was an mutant heretic. Unfortunately, Valhallan shot himself before that could happen.

Here's my line of thought: If Demogerg was really so worried about people being quick to accuse, why not accuse me? If his behavior is suspicious, that also casts doubt on Gwar! whom he defended--alien scum sticking together. Gwar! has an alibi, however, in that he may have just been voting for Valhallan as revenge for Valhallan voting for him but he's also been very quiet and a bit creepy. Orkeosaurus had the same revenge motive for voting for me. That leaves Lord-Loss, whose primary reason for accusing Valhallan seems to have been that Valhallan already had two votes against him.

Demogerg, Gwar!, and Lord-Loss are looking very suspicious to me. The question is who looks the guiltiest right now?

You guys got some esplainin' to do.

**Lord-Loss**

Below are all the accusations that Valhallan said:

Or are you? You're very willing to accuse us of heresy!

You must be one of them!

At least Orkeosaurus has a story!

That one, Gwar!

I still say it's Gwar!

4 accusations.

See why we were suspicous now Manchu?

**Manchu**

That's some pretty poor reasoning, I'd say, when many other accusations were flying around at the same time.

**Lord-Loss**

But two of those accusations were at me!

For saying that two people killed Soonto (R.I.P), when it is obvious by just seeing the corpse.

You got to admit thats a little suspicous.

**Gwar!**

I am nothing but a Normal Citizen! I would never get myself mixed up with THAT crowd. Manchu, as you quite rightly said, I voted for Valhallan, but only because he was trying to get me killed!

**Lord-Loss**

Gwar! wrote:I voted for Valhallan, but only because he was trying to get me killed!

QFT

When someone accuses you and tries getting you killed, then accusses someone else straight after, its very suspicous.

**Demogerg**

Manchu, I know that you have been just as accusatory as Valhallan was, and I am very tempted to vote for you, but I am not certain, and I do not want to be as hasty to vote for a lynch as yesterday.

Right now we have
Orkeo, who has been sharing some interesting stories with us that have very little relevance to his status in this situation.

Lord Loss, who voted for valhallan and claims to have voted for him out of being accusatory, this is even more suspicious than usual because he was the 3rd vote, a 'bandwagon vote' if you will

Manchu, who has been attempting to manipulate all of us into voting.

Gwar, who has been very quiet throughout all of this, too quiet for my liking, we all known that to win in a situation such as this you must give up as little information as possible...

and Me, who has been trying to pick out the Xenos amongst us this entire time. I feel strongly that Manchu is one of the Xenos, He was the first to vote, and he has been very quick to lay blame. Lord-Loss also appears to be a Xenos based on his voting record.

**Lord-Loss**

Demogerg wrote:Lord Loss, who voted for valhallan and claims to have voted for him out of being accusatory, this is even more suspicious than usual because he was the 3rd vote, a 'bandwagon vote' if you will

When some stranger is trying to persuade people to kill you, then you would suspect them too.

Im becoming increasing suspicous of Orkeo...

**Manchu**

I dare you all to vote for me. Vote for me and have the blood of a loyal Imperial citizen on your hands . . . or in the case of two of you, your wretched claws, tentacles, mandibles, etc. As for me being manipulative, it seems to me that Demogerg knows that I'm getting too close to the truth and that makes him nervous. Are you really being cautious or are you just biding your time because you're confident? After all, if you are an alien, you have a marked advantage.

There are only three humans left and I know I'm one of them so that means out of the rest only two can actually be faithful citizens. After you do me in, you'll only have two others to contend with seeing as how you--or someone--has already dealt with another two. It's obvious to me that you mean to kill me as soon as you can. If you don't lynch me today, you'll surely murder me tonight. Either way, you'll be damned for it because the Emperor protects.

As I said before, the Guard will inevitably come to this miserable rock and cleanse you off of it along with the rest of your stinking, repulsive hive brethren. I'd prefer to do my part by killing you myself. But I'm not totally sure about you and I won't damn my own soul by killing an Emperor-fearing citizen when there are xenos around that need murdering.

**Lord-Loss**

I know you to be a loyal citizen Manchu. The most suspicous of us all is the so called 'Guardsman' Orkeo!

**Orkeosaurus**

Why is everyone trying to Swiftboat me? Goddammit, I'm a veteran! I'm hardened! I'm BS4! See this stare? It's a thousand yards long!

Lord Loss, you have been the most suspicious person out of the three of us. On page one, you started to accuse known innocent and martyr Valahallan of treason. You also trivialized the murders, called us heretics, got drunk, and misspelled the God Emperor of Man's name.

Then you tried to accuse me of heresy for wearing my coat, while voting to kill a loyal servant of the Imperium.

Then you criticized Valhallan (known martyr for the God Emperor of Man) for "saying the Emperor's name" (when you had misspelled His name prior),and asked what a Genestealer was, despite the fact that everyone who wasn't underhive chemmer knows what a Genestealer is (but then again, I bet everyone you associate with knows as much about them as you can; you probably had no frame of reference for a loyalist).

And how do you know Manchu to be a loyal citizen? The only possible way would be for you to be a Genestealer yourself. You know Manchu isn't your partner (Demo or Gwar), so you know he's a human, is that right? I see no other explanation.

Demogerg has been suspicious as well. Quick to point fingers, the first to go against Valhallan. Seems to hate Manchu, who seems like one of the most concerned with stopping the monsters.

Gwar seems to have been taking it light. Not stepping on anyone's toes. He helped lynch Valhallan, but that was after he accused him. I still don't know what to think about Gwar. He might be honest, he might be making sure he gives nothing away.

**Manchu**

Orkeosaurus wrote:Lord Loss, you have been the most suspicious person out of the three of us.

Wait, the three of us? What?

**Lord-Loss**

I know Manchu to be a loyal citizen as the God Emperor of Mankind called to me in my dreams last night and told me this!

He told me to watch Orkeo carefully and said his 'Imperial army' were on there way here.

Friends we must disccuss the death of the poor soul who died last night....

**Gwar!**

I assure you friend I am not hiding anything. I am just still trying to absorb what has happened in these last few days.

**Demogerg**

Lord-Loss wrote:I know you to be a loyal citizen Manchu.

You have one thing which you have said for certain multiple times, and that is that you "know" Manchu is Loyal to the Emperor.

Manchu on the other hand has layed some blame at your feet. His ruse is revield as the ploy that it is.

As the Imperial Inquisitor stationed here on this rock, I can say for certain that Gwar is not a Xenos.

knowing that Gwar is not a xenos, and that I am not a xenos, this leaves 3 people, 2 of which are blaming the same 1 who is left alone. Lord-Loss and Manchu are trying to force our hand into killing an innocent and ending all of our lives.
Your claims to Manchu's loyalty to the Emperor can mean only one thing, that you are protecting him as a Xenos, which means that you also are a Xenos. As Xenos scum I hereby vote to lynch Lord-Loss
vote: Lord-Loss

**Lord-Loss**

You Lier!

You are not a Imperial Inquisitor, for I am a Inquisitor!

vote: Demogerg

**Gwar!**

I think that Demogerg's argument is a lot more convincing. I am going to have to side with him.

vote: Lord-Loss

**Demogerg**

Lord-Loss wrote:You Lier!

You are not a Imperial Inquisitor, for I am a Inquisitor!

vote: Demogerg

Your pleas will go unnoticed Genestealer scum.

**Lord-Loss**

Ive been 'digging my own grave' the last few days.

You will see, Im an Inquisitor and Orkeo and Demogerg are xenos scum!

**Orkeosaurus**

This ends here!

Vote: Lord Loss

**Lord-Loss**

Blah, you fools!

**Orkeosaurus**

You won't hurt anyone else!

**Manchu**

Wait, this doesn't seem right! If Demogerg is the Inquisitor, why didn't you say so earlier? And if Lord-Loss is the Inquisitor, why is he talking about the Emperor speaking to him in his dreams?

Here's how things stand: if Demogerg is an Inquisitor and successfully lynches Lord-Loss, who turns out to be an alien, then Orkeosaurus must be the remaining genestealer. This is true because I am a human and Demogerg, as an Inquisitor, must be one, too, and he has told us that he investigated Gwar! and found him to be human. That only leaves Orkeosaurus.

Conversely, if Lord-Loss is discovered to be a human after what now seems his inevitable death, it's likely that Demogerg and Gwar! are the genestealers because Demogerg will have falsely asserted Gwar!'s innocence.

What doesn't make sense is why Gwar! and Orkeosaurus both so eager to vote for Lord-Loss. It is likely that one of them is a genestealer so why vote for another genestealer?

((I edited this: I voted for Lord-Loss but was about to change my mind. Wouldn't have mattered anyway, as things turned out.))

**Thor665**

=========
End of Day 2
=========

Gwar and Demogerg grab hold of Lord-Loss, struggling to drag him to the ground and calling for the others to help them. Manchu pauses, still trying to work over the angles, but Orkeosaurus gleefully leaps forward and plunges his knife into Lord-Loss' belly. The three of them stand up and nod knowingly, content that they have ended the xenos threat. Gwar! drops to his knees and searches through Lord-Loss' pockets.

"Now to find the proof of his heresy," Gwar! mutters as he pulls forth...an Inquisitorial badge. Lord-Loss was The Inquisitor "Wait a minute," Gwar! mutters, "if he was the Inquisitor then you..." He turns towards Demogerg only to receive a nasty blow to the head from a handy lead pipe. Manchu lets out a bellow of outrage as he realizes the treachery before him, but before he can act Orkeosaurus and Demogerg reveal their true colors as they open the doors of the bunker and let in their fellow xenos worshiping brethren.

Orkeosaurus and Demogerg were Genestealers!
Genestealers achieve victory (with Lord Loss dead they would night kill either Gwar! or Manchu and then on Day 3 would control the votes and simply Lynch the final Imperial Citizen)

Roles;

Lord-Loss - Inquisitor

Orkeosaurus - Genestealer

Demogerg - Genestealer

Everyone else - Imperial Citizen.

**Lord-Loss**

Atleast I got a awesome death

**Gwar!**

Dang nabit!

Damn you orko and your trickster ways!

**Manchu**

Well, my suspicions were mostly correct. But I have to say, you damn 'nids played it well by asserting Gwar!'s innocence. That really threw me, although it was too late to do anything about it once Gwar! gave you his vote. The other thing that really gave me pause was Lord-Loss's description of finding out my innocence in a dream. That sounded highly implausible. Ah well, the Guard and Space Marines will be along shortly to rid the Imperium of your kind. Even so, cheers to you for a well thought out strategy.

Who's up for Round Two?
