WW #41. New Horizons.

[AdrienIer]

I think there was a better case on Adrien, as Bacchus summarised

You mean this little message ?

I have no problem with lynching Brick, who had my vote for a while, but I think we have a target that is at least not worse. AdrienIer, you are saying you are coming back to Brick because you "didn't like his start", but your original vote on him was a joke one. Moreover, after Brick actually posted, you actually changed your vote to Novice, with no explanation given. Now you are coming back to Brick, trying to portray it as if you had a case against him all along, which you didn't. What is your case against Brick, exactly?

If I hadn't been absent when he sent it I'd have answered that easily. I did a joke vote on BRick, his start reminded me of the previous game's start where he was scum, then he went away so I thought it pointless to stay on him for a day waiting for the yard sale to end. So I chose novice but changed my mind this afternoon when novice didn't feel that different from the rest anymore. Then it was just a matter of picking someone I didn't feel good about because I knew I might not make it in time to change it by deadline, hence BRick.

This weekend didn't give me enough time to play properly, there was no real case there and I didn't expect people to join me. I'll reread tomorrow and try to be more useful on D2.

[Goreripper]

That sucked. I'll be able to play better tomorrow.

[Rowain]

That was a pretty lame lurker lynch. I think Serdoa summed it up well in his post. I think there was a better case on Adrien, as Bacchus summarised, and I have town leans on Serdoa and Bacchus who voted him.

Until we know Adriens alignment you should hold back with your handing out townpoints.

[Bacchus]

Now I've fallen ill, and am unlikely to contribute much in the next 24 hours at least.

[Gazglum]

Guys, I've just worked out how to break the game.

We're on a spaceship yeah? Ok, bear with me here, we control the lighting levels!

Let's just not turn them off next time, stop this whole 'night' thing from happening.

AdrienIer

To make it close.

I don't understand this justification. Sounds like you didn't want AdrienIer to hang but voted for him anyway?

When I said we wanted a close lynch, what I meant was that we didn't want a lot of players on it, because that would likely make a sensor result less informative. Whether it ends up 4-3 or 4-4 isn't important, in that context. But pushing it to 4-4 does ensure that there will be 4 players on the lynch.

To speak plainly, since you hate insinuations: I think you could be scum and paired with one of the lynchers.

In any case, with four players on the lynch, and stable tallies leading up to the deadline, I think it's very likely that exactly one of the lynchers is scum. Scum would not want to risk that four players got cleared by a sensor. In other words, I suspect that one of Lewwyn, Novice, and AdrienIer is scum. I know that doesn't narrow the field all that much, but I'll state it nonetheless. If AdrienIer is scum there could of course be two scum on the lynch, in order to save him, but that would be a huge risk. And he didn't really need saving until after the votes on Brick had stabilized.

In general, I don't think scum will want to vote together in this setup, because they don't want to end up on the same lynch at the end of the day.

[Serdoa]

I didn't understand it either after I had sent the post. I had that statement of making it close in mind when doing it, but after sending the post I realized that it made no sense in this context. Well, except if BRick had shown up and saved himself. But that wasn't the point, I even thought about unvoting for just that reason but with only a minute left I wasn't sure of the further implications of doing that so I simply didn't.

Also if AdrienIer is scum, my vote makes no sense at all if I was scum too.

Lastly: It makes no sense if I am scum to switch because one of the lynchers is my scum-buddy. I was not on BRick at any time, I was on a lynch-target that would not be lynched and my reasoning imo was valid enough that no one would ask twice why I didn't change. Therefore, even though I agree it makes no sense to make that vote, I don't think it makes me any more or less scummy than I was before.

I've had the exact same thought. To spell it out further, scum don't want a sensor scan to catch two scum, and they don't want it to clear four villagers.

Deadline. Write up will be along shortly. Any Pm's will follow.

Following the murder of BRick the crew switches off group comms, and each contemplates their actions of the day. Despite the absolute necessity of finding the killers of Captain Azarius, the means are very difficult. Not only does everyone alive consider themselves family to everyone else, these men are thinkers, engineers, scientists. They are absolutely not killers, or even violent, and the act has taken a toll on them. The night is exceedingly long and quiet, with each member of the crew isolated in their habitation pod. When the day cycle returns, everyone reconnects their comms, except for Goreripper.

After a few panicked moments, it is verified that Gore’s pod is still connected to the ship. Camera’s are force initiated, and the crew is presented with an image of Goreripper, his lips blue. All watching are aware of the implications. While an error in the pods life support systems are technically within the realm of possibilities, no one doubts the true cause of Gore’s death. The Earth First Liberationists have killed again.

Goreripper has been murdered. He was a Human Expansionist League member.
