Oh. Taure, vote syntax is a Thing, apparently. I got all confused when I saw vote count change.

Fine, you fuckers. I hate you all for forcing me to vote to lynch someone I think is town.

rescind vote
Vote player: Gambit

I'm going on a 11 hour trip now, talk to you guys in the next day.

 

How long do we have? An hour and half, right? Not going to repeat the past deadline, I promise.

I'm much, much more comfortable with a vote on Nae'blis than on Gambit, but he has four against Ollie's seven and we don't want another no-lynch. Gambit is the one whose flip will give us more info, but he's pretty much at the top of my list as town.

Rescind vote
Vote Player: Nae'blis

for now, but I'll be around to change it if it looks like it can't happen, because yeah, I value info more than a life and his life in particular. Getting him out of the way and discussion isn't a moot point, contrary to what Ash says. The info from lyncing Nae'blis wouldn't be bad, either, though.

As for Eido... A heartfelt fuck you to you, if I'm right. You know what I mean.

Everything I see points at you being scum. You say stuff like "I'm obviously vanilla! I can't be the scum-role that checks innocent with how I play!" when you actually played exactly the same way in HollowHunt on GOD in which you had that role. The fact you've been mentioned as scummy by lots of people and no one voted for you is troublesome as well. Your switch from Gambit (after you went after him as soon as your day started) could be both coming from a townie who finally agrees that Ollie's just a town-derp or from scum who's afraid that Ollie' town-flip after all your pushing could have brought a lynch down your throat. Finally, you liking Ash when you practically didn't agree on anything except for Nae'blis recently is scummy as hell.

At the moment I have you in my scumteam with Ashaya, Shrodinger and maybe Taure, with the horrible, nagging and irrational suspicion that you really maybe tried to bus buddy!Gambit on day 1.

 

Sometimes the logic of this game confuses me, but all I'm getting now is "a feeling". Sorry, G.

Vote Player: Ollie

 

Well, great. What happens now? Does this mean we're in Twilight?

 

Stojil: Ash's vote sealed the deal.

 

Yeah, I think so, for 3 hours or so.

And I understand where you are coming from Stojil, but consider my activity an attempt to just make something fucking happen, when the rest of this game seems content to do nothing, including making a real case on anyone as scum. With these retardedly short days, there's no /time/ to pressure people to see reactions, and then not lynch them. It's annoying as hell, but it's the hand we're dealt with. It favors scum incredibly so, especially in a lurky game with half of the players doing nothing but coming in to place a vote on whatever the bandwagon is.

I'm irritable, yes. I wanted to lynch Ollie day one for information, and depending how he flipped, attack the people I had the strongest scum reads on. Nae'blis is that person right now, and I really don't like Vira, Republic, or Schrodinger either.

You can consider that my suspected scum team right now, and you can note that they were all on that horrible, horrible looking Ollie wagon when it was still relatively close between the two choices.

I know you don't like my playstyle. I know you don't like my aggression, and my tendency to tunnel people who are probably town for information's sake. But I am town this game, and I am vanilla. I tried to make a cop slip on day one to potentially draw a doc protect and a night kill, but any hope of that is gone now. I'll gladly take a NK to the face from here on out, and as long as I'm alive, I'll continue to attempt to shove lynches down throats that are asking for it.

I do know what you mean, and your fears are unfounded. Or you're scum, I'm still not 100% sure which.

 

I thought Taure's vote was the last one needed for majority?

 

Majority is 8. Taure's was vote 7. Jeram's was the slightly-suspicious-if-Ollie-flips-scum excess 9th.

 

Finally, you guys reach Twilight, lol. Use this one hour of discussion time wisely. Remember, any time you would have had left in a Day because you got a lynch early, before the 24 hours, is given as Twilight time.

Day 2 has entered Twilight.

We have a confirmed death....
​

We reached consensus. The Echo Base has chosen to send Gambit Oli-Kingos to the Shooting Range. As a blizzard - Hoth's roar, some claim - bristles outside, the younger Rebels congregate, watching the scene of carnage in subdued horror. Spittle flying from his mouth, Gambit denies the charges against him and struggles against his bonds.

On the periphery of the whispering crowd, the leaders of the Alliance observes the proceedings. Garm Bel Iblis, silent and tall, says nothing.


Grim with conviction, the would-be executioners dismiss their apprehension, shaking their heads. They raise their blasters. The sound of energy bolts pierce the silence, as Gambit chokes and falls over the durasteel floor, lifeless. A tell-tale, blue insignia falls to the ground...

It appears that Gambit was loyal to the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a Rebel! He was truly innocent...


Twilight has started.


Twilight is the frame of time between a successful "lynching" (in this case, choosing someone for execution at the Echo Base shooting range) and the natural conclusion of the day. In twilight, you may still post and discuss anything that has happened. However, you cannot vote to have anyone else to receive an Echo Base execution.

EDIT: Twilight is temporarily on-hold.

 

FILLER FILLER FILLER.

Also, I'm pulling out of the game because of some RL issues. Exams are upon me, and I'm afraid I won't have time for the game. Hope you guys have fun.

 

I'm sorry that you're leaving, Naeblis. I sincerely wish you the best with your exams. Kill them for us, bro.

On something unrelated, an infospill happened, partially due to my own error. Hence, the compromised players (Taure, Uncle Stojil, hgf) will have to be replaced by the Reserves. Until I receive the Reserves' replies to my PMs and ascertain which one of them still want to play, this game will be temporarily paused, now that I need to find another Reservation for Naeblis's role.

I apologise for this temporary arrangement. Please hold while this delay is being solved. Until then, nobody should post and talk, especially in their QTs and on irc about this game.

 

Announcement:

I have found my replacements. It has been decided that Krogan will replace Uncle Stojil, CheddarTrek will replace hgf, Sesc will replace Taure, and Kalas will replace Nae'blis. I have also contacted additional players, who will form the currently depleted Reserve contingent, so that they can fill in your spots if you need to be replaced.

Since you did technically reach a consensus before the Night, I will grant you your well-earnt one-hour of Twilight time. You may use this to discussion the results of Gambit's lynch. Twilight will start at 09:00PM EST (Australia) on May 3, and will end at 10:00PM.

All posting must cease by 10:00PM. Players will only be allowed to post during that hour.

You may now resume activity within your QTs only. Thank you for your patience.

 

Filla filler fills

 

So...? Not a big fan of the Twilight phase, huh? Maybe I should have PMed you guys, although I thought that you would have noticed the thread. Oh well. Your loss. Anyway, now the Night begins.


Day 2 has concluded.

The dark sun sets over the cold snap of Hoth....
​

Posting in this thread is prohibited until 10:00PM EST (Australia) on 4 May 2012

Players with night actions need to bold their actions when addressing them to me in the QT. Failure to use the correct format as specified in your QTs will simply result in recording a non-action by me in the player log. I will return a response to Night Actions which have been submitted correctly.

Night 2 has started.

 

Night 2 has concluded.

Some of us did not survive the night...
​

Last night, a heavy figure with an IR-5 blaster pistol broke into the quarters of Aekiel, killing the victim. When the gathering Rebels take a closer look at the body, a quickened breath of shock could be heard: Aekiel is a nondescript man, stolid in his thirties, with a tell-tale, blue insignia in his drawers... a Rebel.


Day 3 has started.

Aekiel this time, another one who hasn't really stood out. Hmm, I'm not sure what they could be trying here, the only thing he's really been involved in is the Nae'blis bandwagon, which brings me to my main point.

Having had time to re read all of the thread, I have to say there is nothing at all I liked about that Nae'blis bandwagon.

Firstly the timing, it started when we were more than two thirds of the way through the day. Any bandwagon starting that late is going to have trouble finding the votes, no matter what the case against the player might be, there just aren't enough people active at that time of day. It was just far too likely to end up in another no-lynch situation.

And then there is the bandwagon itself. Here is where it starts:

Aekiel decides that Nae'blis is suddenly a popular target despite him having no votes on him, when two other people actually did. For some reason one or two posts in which Eidolonic and Ash mention Nae'blis as suspicious is enough to try and lynch him

This instantly leads to Ash jumping on.

This is after she herself says

And the worst part of this whole thing. At no point did anyone ever outline any sort of a case for why they thought Nae'blis is scum.I find it particularly strange that Eido jumped on the bandwagon, as he was the one asking people to make the case.

Now I personally didn't think that Gambit was definitely scum, I don't think that anyone did, but I voted for him because no one had ever outlined a case against anyone else. I was in school all day, I wasn't able to go looking through all of Nae'blis' posts to see if I think he is scum. If someone had laid out any sort of convincing case against him then I would have considered voting for him instead, but no one ever said anything other than "I think he seems scummy".


So yeah the whole thing had made me a bit suspicious of Aekiel, Eido and Ash. But now Aekiel is dead, so I really don't know what's going on here. But I will definitely be keeping a close eye on Eido and Ash.

 

Oh. Well. That simplifies matters.

See, Aekiel, Ashaya, and Lochness were basically 100% townfirmed to me after the target swap shenanigans and how several people flailed about, panicked and desperately latched onto Ollie.

Gambit: 10
Vira, Schrodinger, Nae’blis, hgf, Bill Door, Republic21, Taure, Ash, Uncle Stojil, Jeram

Basically, we have 4 scum in this list. Nae'blis is pretty obvious, considering how hilarious the reactions were to a few people switching onto him - people instantly either trying to bus him, or hop onto Ollie and make that wagon much more attractive.

Gambit: 10
Vira, Schrodinger, Nae’blis, hgf, Bill Door, Republic21, Taure, Ash, Uncle Stojil, Jeram

I'm actually okay with Taure and Ash here. I got the feeling they actually preferred the Nae'blis lynch, and only switched back over due to circumstance. I'm.. mostly okay with Stojil too, I think. Less so than the previous two, though.

Gambit: 10
Vira, Schrodinger, Nae’blis, hgf, Bill Door, Republic21, Taure, Ash, Uncle Stojil, Jeram

Really don't like Vira this game in retrospect. I wasn't entirely happy with her day one proposed lynch due to strictly meta reasons, but I'd be less opposed to it happening in the next few days, depending on how she does.

Gambit: 10
Vira, Schrodinger, Nae’blis, hgf, Bill Door, Republic21, Taure, Ash, Uncle Stojil, Jeram

That whole middle section of this bandwagon is horrific, though. Hgf, Bill Door, Republic21. Bill Door and Republic in particular. Both gave token resistance when it was obvious nothing was going to happen, and then hopped aboard Ollie with posts that reeked of bad. Just... bleh! And that's even before Bill's carefully crafted post above that makes me want him dead, dead, dead.

Gambit: 10
Vira, Schrodinger, Nae’blis, hgf, Bill Door, Republic21, Taure, Ash, Uncle Stojil, Jeram

Schrodinger is uh. I don't like him? But the more I look at posts, and this wagon, he seems sliiiightly more town, even if a little bleh.

Gambit: 10
Vira, Schrodinger, Nae’blis, hgf, Bill Door, Republic21, Taure, Ash, Uncle Stojil, Jeram

And Jeram, oh, Jeram. Tacking on a vote at the very end of a bandwagon when majority has been reached, with that lovely post is scummy as shit. I want someone else to look over your posts this game and tell me what they think though, because it's possible you're just new!derp, and I'm not reading you right. LochNess, Ash?

Gambit: 10
Vira, Schrodinger, Nae’blis, hgf, Bill Door, Republic21, Taure, Ash, Uncle Stojil, Jeram

Pretty colors.

Red = Kill it with fire.
Orange = Scummy.
Pale green = Townish, but bears watching.
Green = Town.
Not listed = Town.

And Ollie, if you're reading this - I am sorry for pushing your lynch so hard on day one, but in a setup where reveals flip on death, voting information and reactions on town and on scum are both incredibly informative. The death of one townie basically confirmed a couple people as town to me, and forced the scum to look extra scummy in their bandwagonness (pretend that's a word), letting us narrow them down.
