“Shadyforce, perhaps you’re right; perhaps we shouldn’t lynch d_redguy, but if we don’t, we certainly need to keep an eye on him and ask him to tell us the results of all his investigations.”
Thizzlewit pondered for a moment before making up his mind. “If d_redguy can satisfactorly explain why he wasn’t out investigating last night, I will change my vote.”
I’m going to go at this logically.
12 people have already voted.
The two main candidates for lynching seem to be me(with… 4 votes), and d_redguy(with 7 votes, I think).
There doesn’t seem to be any strong evidence for any of the candidates. I think we should wait to lynch someone.
vote: no lynch
Logically, I think we should lynch d_redguy.
I mean, seriously, read what he’s written!
Heller Highwater stirred from the floor of his room. “…What happened?” he asked himself. He tried to think back, which made his head spin. His hand immediately went to his forehead, only to find an enormous bump. Suddenly, it all came back to him.
*…alarms…jolting out of bed…fumbling in the dark, trying to get to the door, or at least the lightswitch…groping…groping…WHAM!
Smashing into the bulkhead*
The last thing Heller rembered was passing out before he even hit the floor. “Well,” he muttered to nobody in particular, “let’s go find out what all those alarms were about. Seeing as how I’m still alive, I’m guessing it wasn’t the ship blowing up.” He chuckled weakly to himself.
As Heller tried to sit up, a sudden wave of nausea forced him to quickly lie back down. “This…may take a bit,” he mumbled.
Some time later, Heller finally found the strength to sit, then stand. Stumbling for the door, he made his way out to the corridor. Wandering around, he finally found the ship’s bar ([ooc] That’s where y’all are, right? [/ooc]) and grabbed a seat just as his knees buckled out from under him. A few people shot him some weird looks, but Heller ignored them for the moment. The room was abuzz with talk of murder, and lynchings.
Heller listened to the conversation for a while, intregued by the accusations flying about. The protestations of d_redguy also interested him. He didn’t seem that guilty, but how was he to know? However, the one thing that really caught his ear was the sudden and wholly unsupported charge against someone named Ryle Dup. It seemed odd for someone to simply make such an accusation without any evidence, but maybe it was just him. From the pounding in his head, it may very well have been. “Of course,” Heller muttered, “nobody really knows anything at this point, myself included, so any accusation is as bad as the next, at least for now.” He gave a feeble chuckle at his own grim humor. The chuckle drew a bit more attention, to which Heller responded by falling out of his chair into unconsciousness.
Vote: No lynch
can you do that?
[ooc]Good question…if not, I’ll rethink and post again[/ooc]
Ok, everyone listen up.
You can vote for no-lynch however generally speaking it is not a good idea.
Why: lynching someone, even a grossly mis-informed vote will bring the town information which is vitally important.
If we were to continue voting no-lynch then we would sit there looking stupid, while the mafia pick us off one by one. Indeed the chances are that we will kill a townie but if we were to wait till the odds say we hit a mafia ,then the must out-number us in which case it is too late already-they automatically win the game.
The only time a no-lynch vote is justified is if odds meant we would probably hit a powerful pro-town role. Also we would need to be compensated by there being lots of cops/reporters/hiders/etc to give us enough information. For these to apply, we would need to be certain that virtually all the remaining roles were powerful roles.
I don’t think this will be the case in this game, I suspect a large proportion of regular townies.
Therefore I reccomend that we vote for someone to get lynched.
One further thing, I believe there is a rule that says that after no-lynch, you are assumed to have gone to your quarters (in this case) for the night and may not post unless you recieve 1/2 the votes need to be lynched. This may or may not apply in this game so we’ll wait to hear from super-mod before we carry on.
“No, we must not sit back, we must do something” cried the amnesiac: shadyforce! “You must come back from your quarters, pacifists among you. I think you are allowed to? I don’t really remember!”
[ooc] I do love the roleplay, but we have a deadline to try and find killers. I would like to see the roleplay continue, but if you’re saying something important, do an OOC at the bottom[/ooc]
Werebear squints at XWalrus2. Kinda quick to try and get the spotlight off yourself, aren’t you? Well, I think that’s kind of suspicious myself. If I had to vote, I’d Vote XWalrus2 and maybe turn the spotlight up a notch or two.
Tap,tap,tap There, last one, all done. 33 hours to tap every window three times and try to open every airlock. Can’t let the bad black stuff inside with the peoples, oh no! Black stuff and people no mixing good.
So many angry thoughts! Boat full of fish, all try to bite each other. Oh, everything red and swirly. Clean, cleaning robots, clean, clean, clean!
Man with no face, woman with skull face. Oh, so many many people will die! (All of you will die). No, no, no! We will find the bad ones and put the blue back where all the red is. (Die). No! Not listening!
Oh cantaloupes and cream, this is big room, lots of colors and brain songs. Lots of people with skull faces. So much death coming, it hurts.
Angry mens and angry womens. Blood on everyone, blood in everyone. Rushing winds, rushing to that one, that one, that one! Skull face has blood in his eyes! (Be quiet. Don’t point at him.)
It’s him! It’s him! Skull face has blood in his eyes!
vote: XWalrus2
Ok, day one has gone on waaaay too long.
Votes MUST be placed within the next three hours, and then the whoever has the most votes gets lychned.
[ooc]Thizzlewit, I wasn’t out investigating because there was nothing to investigate. I hadn’t any information. The murders happened last night. Did you want me to investigate murders that hadn’t happened yet? If so, you play rough. Real rough.[/ooc]
“Well, I don’t have much evidence at this time.” said d_redguy ruefully. He knew what was coming.
“Not only that, I doubt that I could possibly change Thizzlewit’s mind. Seems as though he has it in for me, though I don’t know why. But I’d like to find out. In fact, I have my suspicions. Thank you, Thizzlewit, you’ve given me a reason to live. I’m going to get to the bottom of this. But to do that, I have to be alive tomorrow. There’s only one way that I can make sure that this will come to pass. I have to vote…”
vote: XWalrus
XWalrus2- 7 votes.
d_redguy- 8 votes.
Lynch time.
[ooc]oh piss. 
I was having fun too.
I’ll give my soliloquy before morning. Will take a little while.[/ooc]
[ooc] awwwww… d_redguy… for what it’s worth, i think it was a wrong vote. [/ooc]
Nine figures move down a tight, dark corridor of the pleasure cruiser. One of the figures leads the rest by a body’s distance. Head down, shoulders slumped. His hands are fastened together with a neo-plastic zip-tie. The zip-tie is indestructible. There is no chance for survival, no opportunity for escape. He is a walking corpse.
The group turns to the left, then stops in a short corridor. One member of the group (the small band can hardly be considered a mob, being less than a third of the denizens of the ship) steps in front of the bound man and presses the large yellow button on the wall. A door ahead of them cycles open.
<FFFFFFFSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH>
D_redguy looks up at the sound, knowing that this is the end. He turns to the group. He wants to address them, make them all feel the pain of the horrible mistake that they were making. He knew he didn’t kill either of those people. Why, he even had dinner with Nvme77 the night before! He didn’t think it was a “love match”, but she was pleasant enough. He had enjoyed her company.
“I could have helped you.” he says softly, “Even if I was killed tonight. My death would have been a compass aiming directly toward the mafia. They want me dead, and that is what they are getting. They don’t even have to work for it. In fact, look among yourselves. I’d bet about one-half of you are mafia. You know who you are, and I have a good idea myself.”
He steps through the door. The door shuts behind him with the press of a green button.
<FFFFFFFSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHH>
D_redguy sits on the floor of the airlock. He closes his eyes and leans forward, facing the door that the silent group stands behind. He doesn’t want to watch the doors behind him cycle open. He will not subject himself to the stark emptiness behind him…
Neptune. 5 minutes later:
<Your puppet has failed, Nemanjya.>*
<I am well aware of that. Thank you, Tacenjya.>
<It would appear that he was cycled through an airlock. You are aware that humans cannot survive in a total lack of atmosphere, correct?>
<Yes, Tacenja, I am aware.>
<I wanted to be sure. It seems there is much you do not understand about humans.>
<Do not toy with me, Tacenja. You did not suspect that the journalist would somehow become honorable. The simulations showed him reacting as part of the crowd, not standing out. Face it. None of us understand humans at all.>
<Yes. This is true. They are savages.>
<One would think that Maranjya would have learned more in his sojourns to Terra.>
<Maranjya is a sick being, Nemanjya. He was too busy inserting things into human anuses to learn anything about human psychology.>
<I have known for millennia that Maranjya’s actions would come back to haunt us. What can one learn about a race from the expulsion system?>
<They seem to eat the other native animals too frequently. Vegetation, it would appear, they do not eat often enough.>
<Yes. This we know. And also we know that they have plans for a weapon that could destroy us. Destroy us for the methods we used (Maranjya used) to collect this worthless data. We also know that despite our mind control techniques, and our ability to block the subject’s mind from any knowledge of our interference, our assassin has failed.>
<But Nemanjya, the human mafia has offered to sell us the plans, correct?>
<Yes, Tacenjya. And they will. They will not betray us, I am quite certain. They have no respect for their race at all.>
<True. Humans are savages…>

[ooc]Well, congratulations. Killed the assassin in one. I wish it coulda lasted a bit longer for me, but hey; it will last longer for at least one of you. (Yes, Thizzle, I’m looking at you. :D) So anyway, congratulations, and it was fun. I am totally in for the next round! Thanks!! – oh, and thanks for the vote of confidence, poiema, albeit just a touch misplaced. ;)[/ooc]
Thanks for the laugh, 'redguy.
It is now the second night. People with Night Actions, IM/Email me.
[ooc] well color me totally taken in. :o hahahahaha well done d_redguy!!! 
[ooc]
[peanut gallery]
Excellent death scene, d_redguy. Wonderful character development. Too bad the mob decided to kill you first. Your role playing will be missed.
[/peanut gallery]
[ooc] To all of you now afraid of having to write a death scene: It’s not traditional for someone to write their own. You don’t have to, Aslan will. Though i’m sure Aslan won’t mind, you might want to check with him first. Some mods control their information carefully. I must say, d_redguy… I wouldn’t mind being in a mafia you were mod of. 
I would have liked to have seen what you would have come up with in my HHGG2 mini on mafiascum.[/ooc]
[ooc]
Bravo, d_redguy! In the second game, you’ll have an unfair advantage – no one will want to kill you, 'cuz your roleplaying is so interesting
[/ooc]
