Rules

Rule 0: Site-wide rules all apply. This is a game, personal attacks and things of that nature are not part of the game.

1: Unless specifically stated otherwise, do not discuss this game outside of this thread.
2: Do note directly quote any private communications with me, the mod. You may paraphrase things I have sent you, such as role titles, abilities, or results.
3: Votes must be

bold

or in vote tags VOTE: Chimera. If your vote does not use those tags it will not count.
4: Votes should be the player's whole name unless they have a commonly used nickname.
5: Unvotes are not necessary but appreciated.
6: A lynch occurs at a majority of votes on one player (50%+1). Once this is reached further votes/unvotes will not count.
7: After a lynch it is twilight. Players, including the lynchee, may continue to talk until I lock the thread. However, once I have declared you dead, by lynch or nightkill, you may not post. You are truly dead.
8: No lynches are allowed and voted for like so: VOTE: No Lynch. The tally for a no lynch vote works exactly the same as the tally for players. Once a no lynch is reached further votes/unvotes will not count.
9: If you do not post for 48 hours you will be prodded. If you do not reply to your prod in the thread within 48 hours you will be replaced. After three prods, the next time you are due for a prod you will be replaced instead of being prodded.
10: If you will not be able to post within the prod timer, please let myself and/or the thread know before hand. If you must be absent for an extended period of time you may be replaced.
11: Day 1 will have a three week deadline, with every day after that being 120 hours shorter (five days) until the day length reaches six days. If there is no majority vote at the end of a day no lynch will occur.
12: Nights will have 72 hour deadlines. Failure to submit a night action within this time will be taken as a “no action”.
13: Deadline extensions will be given at my discretion (i.e. in the event of a replacement).
14: As usual, no small/invisible text, no cryptography, no coding, etc. Breadcrumbing is allowed. Basically, use your head and play to the spirit of the game.
15: DARK BLUE (#000080) is my colour. Do not use it. You may use other colours if you wish. As a courtesy to other players I would ask that you avoid using bright colours (although there is no direct rule against this).
16: Do not deliberately try to exploit loopholes within these rules. Further rules may be added; if this occurs I will notify all players both in thread and by private message. Rules regarding mod action may be bent according to situation. If this needs to happen you will all be notified in thread.

Hsssssssssss

Something isn't right. You don't know what, or why you know, but something is very wrong.

You tried to gather your thoughts, but they were lost in the sleepy fog shrouding your brain.

THINK! Something isn't right, I know it. But what?

Pinching yourself in an effort to wake up, you sat up in your open stasis cell, glancing around the chamber. Suddenly, a lightbulb flashes on in your head.

Why is no one else awake? They said we'd wake simultaneously...

As the room slowly begins to come into focus, dozens of small faintly flashing lights become visible on the consoles of each of the stasis cells. Still fighting through the haziness in your brain, you stumble out of your cell and make your way towards the nearest cell with the gait of a drunk.

Slowly, the meaning of the blinking lights dawns on you.

Critical error? How? The system was designed so that we would be alerted before...

Your thoughts trail off as you hear a door behind you whirr open. A yell.

“There's another one down here!”

Footsteps move towards you. Desperately trying to put the scattered memories of all your training together, you turn around, slightly, if even that, prepared to face what was coming.

In front of you is another figure, looking only a little less bewildered than you feel yourself. They begin to speak again.

“Do...do you know what is going on?”

You shake your head no. The other looks slightly disappointed.

“Follow me. You're the thirteenth one we've found awake. The rest of the cells have...failed. And there's one more thing. Come with me.”

Unsure whether to trust this person, you warily follow them up out of the cell chamber into a central corridor.

“Yours was the last chamber in the hall. Most of these had no one left.”

Most of these? Only thirteen of us? But there were hundreds to begin with!

As you walked through the corridor you began to remember the floor plan of the craft. It soon became clear where your guide was taking you; the bridge. Upon arrival, you see eleven others standing gravely around the main console, all intently staring at something, quietly murmuring to each other.

That one looks important...but why? It'll come, I'm sure. The rest seem like regular crew...like myself. Those two there seem...

Your guide spoke again, breaking into your thoughts.

“We, well, the first one here, found this. Or rather, him.”

Stepping up to the bridge, you are startled by the sight that greets you and recoil backwards, nearly tripping down the stairs. A figure, dressed in the unmistakable colours of a top officer, lay motionless on the floor

Chimera,

neutral survivor

, was killed Night 0.

“None of the airlocks have been opened, nor have any of the escape pods been used. Whoever is responsible for this is still on board. And is likely the one to have overridden the stasis cells,” said one of the people. “How they initially got out we may never know. We have searched the ship. I was the third one to arrive here, and since then we have been methodically seeking out other survivors. We have been through every stasis chamber and now all open cells are accounted for here. Fourteen open, thirteen of us alive and one not quite so alive. Again, we don't know how, but we do know that he, she, or they, are among us.”

Day 1 has started!

Since the thread is unlocked and Chimera above announced the game started and gave us some flavor, i will start off?

Okay, so welcome to the game everyone!
Pleasure to be playing with y’all and i hope to have a great game.

To start things off, i will just present you all with a small array of questions. It is not mandatory for you to answer them, but it is something to get us started i suppose? Again, you do not have to answer these, but they are something to start off with.

1) Do you prefer playing as town, scum or third party?
2) How many games have you played so far on this site?
3) How do you feel about lurking, active lurking, and lying? Assume you don’t know the reason for any of these.
4) What role do you like to or want to play as the most?
5) Coke or Pepsi?
6) DC Comics or Marvel?

-----
Here are my answers.

1) I like third party, but i have never played as such yet. Until i do i prefer to play as town.
2) I have 1 finished through getting lynch, playing in two others including this one.
3) I do not support any of the three. I feel like they withhold information from the town and generally are fairly anti-town. Lying however can prove to be good as long the user of this tactic is town and the towns benefit is in their best interest.
4) Serial Killer. Sounds much more fun to be a lone wolf trying to blend in as a town while secretly wanting to kill off both sides. Regardless of how hard it is to win as one.
5) Coke, of course.
6) DC Comics

-----

Heres my first vote.

Vote: BK-201

Because i can. Friend.

[Thomith]

VOTE: rasp
you are obviously scum as you think you are superior by being on the top of the list.

1) Do you prefer playing as town, scum or third party?

scum, prefer being the informed minority

2) How many games have you played so far on this site?

i'm not counting, about maybe 20 though

3) How do you feel about lurking, active lurking, and lying? Assume you don’t know the reason for any of these.

lurking i don't find scummy, active lurking on the other hand i do find scummy, and lying is just ugh if i don't know the reason

4) What role do you like to or want to play as the most?

i like any kind of investigative role town or scum

5) Coke or Pepsi?

coke...

6) DC Comics or Marvel?

Marvel...

any reasons for the last two questions? if you want everyone to answer first i understand as long as you answer eventually.

[Venmar]

No reason. Just some random questions i came up on the spot on the end.

[Thomith]

hm, was thinking you were reaction testing but i guess i was wrong then.

For not confirming yet.

1) Do you prefer playing as town, scum or third party?
2) How many games have you played so far on this site?
3) How do you feel about lurking, active lurking, and lying? Assume you don’t know the reason for any of these.
4) What role do you like to or want to play as the most?
5) Coke or Pepsi?
6) DC Comics or Marvel?

1) Town
2) None yet on this name. Five completed games, plus a few I replaced out of, on a different ID here on MS.
3) Lurking is okay until it gets to the point where it's hurting scumhunting. I've seen scum win games by lurking. Lying is a different and more complex issue...
4) Town Cop
5) Both, depends on my mood at the time.
6) DC, my favorites growing up were Superman and Batman

[BK201]

1) Do you prefer playing as town, scum or third party? Third party.
2) How many games have you played so far on this site? 1 completed game.
3) How do you feel about lurking, active lurking, and lying? Assume you don’t know the reason for any of these. lurking is annoying, active lurking is scummy, and I am fond of "lynch all liars".
4) What role do you like to or want to play as the most? VT, takes the most skill, and provides the best challenge.
5) Coke or Pepsi? Water
6) DC Comics or Marvel? Marvel I guess.

VOTE: Kassadin yup.

[BK201]

oh forgot about SK. SK is my favorite

1. Third party is a treat, but scum is my favorite.
2. Open 392, Open 397, Open 400.1
3. Lying is inexcusable. Active lurking is acceptable, but could be scummy depending on the person's track record.
4. Serial killer (vigilante). A night one.
5. Pepsi
6. Marvel, easily.

Vote Venmar

Not random.

Not answering questions.

Tracker/Vig you should be taking tracker tonight, I know that what im taking if I got it. Vig has a extremely high chance of killing hider. I mean really, assume VT lynch for simplicity and vig kills VT, hider dies behind all scum, vig, and both NKs for six of eleven possible targets resulting in death. Besides, tracker is useful for partial confirms.

Venmar wagon should happen now.

[BK201]

also, as the vig you may confuse our detective/psychologist. Tracker is a great role anyways.

[LowMan]

Unvote, Vote: LlamaFluff

PL time.

[Venmar]

Your justification for a wagon on me is because i made two non mafia related questions? I honestly did make those at random. I find your argument invalid for a wagon.

I agree however with the tracker/vigilante choosing this night. Tracker will benefit the town much more as the Vig has too much risk of killing friendlies, as well as the hider.

Unvote

Vote: LlamaFluff [/]

[Venmar]

Ughh...

Vote: LlamaFluff

[BK201]

Unvote, Vote: LlamaFluff

PL time.

if we're PLing anyone it's Kassadin for his 'no talk' meta.

[Thomith]

i don't see how llama not answer questions = instant policy, is it really that much of a scumtell if the questions really aren't game related and have no reason to be there?

[LlamaFluff]

Your justification for a wagon on me is because i made two non mafia related questions? I honestly did make those at random. I find your argument invalid for a wagon.

Well lets break it down

1) Adds nothing but possibly WIFOM to the game
2) Somewhat useful but is not really indicative of skill, there are raw newbies who I see as better than some vets
3) Only benifits scum since they know how everyone responds to lurkers/etc
4) Useless and possibly WIFOM again
5) Useless
6) Useless

So you asked questions that add noise, WIFOM and actually aid scum. So yes its where I want a wagon going right now. RQS is scummy to anti-town always because it adds nothing but potential for noise, slipping info and getting into theory debates but one of your questions actively aids scum if it gets answered.

[BK201]

Your justification for a wagon on me is because i made two non mafia related questions? I honestly did make those at random. I find your argument invalid for a wagon.

Well lets break it down

3) Only benifits scum since they know how everyone responds to lurkers/etc

Agree with point 3, but still not lynch worthy.

If you agree why did you answer it?

[BK201]

back to Tracker>Vigilante in this set-up; you can also conf scum when person they visit turns up dead, and conf town on the two pwr roles when people don't end up dead.

P-Edit: b/c I didn't think about it.
