Ah, we do still participate. And here I was ready to start RPing Tasha handling security over the proceedings. Sigh. Maybe later.

Everyone else has some amount of mechanical reason to make them unlikely to be Mafia. So a VOTE: PenguinPower seems pretty clearly the right option here. It's like 80% gotta be him. If it's not I think we're in trouble but we cross that bridge if we come to it.

VOTE: penguin
How do you expect to find the culprit when you're all worried about each other's feelings? If you're planning to expose a liar, then you have to corner them psychologically.

Awww, does Kokichi get his vote back for the court martial? I was looking forward to that vote count where it didn't count.

The music stops. The judges stand up signaling that the day's deliberations are over.

Q is preoccupied with his trumpet, adjusting tuning valves, testing the worn buttons, and occasionally sounding a single note before making more adjustments.

The silence catches his attention, and he looks up.

"What? Done already? So who is it this time?"

"Doctor Bashir."

Image


Julian Bashir looks incredulous. And puzzled.

"This makes no sense. How can I, a doctor, be gadding about on other ships and murdering people in the night? It violates every ethical code I'm sworn to uphol --"

Q guestures for silence.

"Well then, off you go."
snap


Bashir disappears abruptly.

"Go on, you too. You have about 5 milliseconds before --"

You're suddenly back on your own ship. On the bridge. And on the main viewer, the ominous cloudy void of the temporal rift is beginning to thin. You see...stars! And the control device within the thinning rift is suddenly...just...gone.

Image


Time will not become a plaything for any galactic civilization.

Yet.

PenguinPower was
Julian Bashir, Doctor of Black Ops


Spoiler: Role PM

Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Julian Bashir, Doctor of Black Ops
.

Three times is the charm. Twice you declined to be recruited by Section 31, but rumors of Changelings once again venturing out of the Delta Quadrant to impersonate, sabotage and otherwise weaken the post-Dominion War alliances persuaded you that desperate measures may be required. You and one other Black Ops agent were en route to the Bajoran Wormhole when your ship was swallowed up by the temporal anomaly. The two of you quickly ascertained that the anomaly was not a natural occurance. It was designed, and can be controlled. The possibilities a controllable temporal anomaly opens up are far too important to let slip away. Among the other space vessels also trapped within the temporal anomaly, you have found an unlikely but powerful ally.

Your abilities:
  • Speak Freely:
    The Black Ops Team are hebichan, Porkens and you. You can communicate privately at any time during the game, day or night here (PT link).
  • Once a doctor, always a doctor:
    Once during the game you can protect another player from night kills.
  • The Omega Molecule:
    This dangerous and highly volatile molecule is in stasis. You are able to release it. On the night it's released then all night actions except for explicitly unstoppable kills are blocked. This includes commute, redirect, hide, etc.
  • Critical Intelligence:
    You know that the second to last ability in every
    Temporal Alliance
    role pm is "
    Strange New Worlds:
    There may be aspects of your role you have not yet learned."
  • Citizen of the Galaxy:
    While you live, you have the inalienable right to use your voice and your vote as you see fit.
Win Condition:

You win when
Black Ops
achieves numerical parity with remaining non-
Black Ops
players.

Thanks to everyone for playing! I thoroughly enjoyed working with your character picks to come up with the game design.

Huge thanks to the review team, penguin_alien, Syryana, and GuyInFreezer for your review efforts. The game design wound up far better than where I would have taken it on my own.

Two more posts and I'll reopen the game thread...

Temporal Alliance
Role PMs


Spoiler:

Dax, as played by Lady Lambda Delta
Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Dax, Trill Symbiont of the Temporal Alliance
.

Your host's life had been tragically cut short, and you were en route to your home world to be joined with another Trill, when your ship was engulfed by the temporal anomaly. Under normal circumstances you would already be dead due to being without a host for several hours. But the passage of time in the temporal anomaly is glacially slow, if time passes at all. You are not alone, though. The memories, the essence of your pasts hosts are with you, you find it difficult to stay in touch with the outside world. But the hosts are vivid and engaged, giving you comfort and inspiration. You drift, contemplating your lives.

Your abilities:
  • zhian'tara:
    Three times during the game at night you can re-merge with the memories of a past host. Each host has an ability you can use to good effect, but you do not know what abilities your hosts have. Choose one at night and learn what you can accomplish. I will tell you what your choice does, and then you can tell me who to target, if the action requires a target. If you prefer, you can choose a former host before the game Day ends. Then I will tell you what your ability is at the start of the Night Phase. If you wait until night, then keep in mind that you'll need time to submit both choice and target within 48 hours.

Strange New Worlds -- none

Captain Jean-Luc Picard, as played by Kokichi Oma
Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Justice of the Temporal Alliance
.

Sitting in judgement of your crew and of other Starfleet officers has never been a part of the Captain's job that you relish, but you bring to bear your conscience as well as the rule of law when justice must be served.

Your abilities:
  • Court Martial:
    Once during the game in a Day phase you can initiate a Court Martial. Initiation must happen before the halfway mark of the game day (by the 6th calendar day on Day 1, and by the 4th calendar day on subsequent Days). To do this, you will PM me and GuyInFreezer, specifying another player you want to also act as judge during the court martial. Another player who is not currently known to you will agree or disagree with the Court Martial action, and will choose who the defendant will be. The thread will be locked between the time you initiate the Court Martial and when the unknown player indicates to me their agreement (or lack of agreement) and specifies the defendant. Then the game thread will be reopened. If a Court Martial has been agreed upon, I will announce the judges (you, the unknown player, and the player of your choice) and defendant. The three judges will have 48 hours to decide on one of two courses of action by majority vote: To court-martial the defendant, in which case all living players will vote either to eliminate the defendant or not. Or to proceed with a normal elimination where any player may be eliminated by majority vote.
  • Secure Channel:
    Twice each game day you may send an anonymous message to the player who shares court martial decision making with you. The messages can be up to 47 words long. You can use the messages to coordinate the initiation of your court martial, or otherwise as you wish.
  • Requiem:
    If the unknown player dies before you have used your Court Martial ability, then it will fall to you to decide if or when to use Court Martial, choose two judges and a defendant.
  • Strange New Worlds:
    There may be aspects of your role you have not yet learned.
  • Citizen of the Galaxy:
    While you live, you have the inalienable right to use your voice and your vote.
Win Condition:

You win when all threats to the
Temporal Alliance
have been eliminated, or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Weyoun as played by GreyICE, Mislim Bait
Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Weyoun, Sixth Vorta Clone of the Temporal Alliance
.

You are the only known Weyoun clone to have believed the Dominion's war with the Alpha Quadrant was a mistake. You were on your way to defect to the Federation on the runabout USS Rio Grande when the ship was engulfed by a massive roving temporal anomaly. You're desperate to escape the anomaly before more lives are senselessly lost in the Dominion war.

Your abilities:
  • I don't think the universe is ready for two Weyouns:
    Weyouns may not last long, but they make up for it in numbers. Should you be eliminated or killed, day or night, you will linger on until the end of the next Day phase. You will retain your vote until the bitter end, and will be informed if and when your day is numbered.

Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Tasha Yar, Security JOAT of the Temporal Alliance
.

You're an accomplished martial artist, fearless upholder of law and order, and fierce protector of your ship, captain and crew. You would lay down your life to save another.

Your abilities:
  • Security JOAT
    --
    Behave yourselves, gentlemen:
    Once during the game at night you can place another player in the brig. That player will be unable to perform any night action, and will be protected from killing actions.
    --
    I'd like my death to count for something:
    Once during the game you can bodyguard another player. Should that player be successfully targeted for a kill, you will die in their stead.
  • What I want now is gentleness. And joy. And love:
    If you target Lt. Commander Data with either of your night actions, you will gain a neighborhood that will last as long as you are both alive.

Commander Data, as played by Black
Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Lt. Commander Data, Sentient Being of the Temporal Alliance
.

Your legal status as a sentient being has not been fully settled, but you are officially not property, so that's a start. You have an affinity for the ship's holodeck as a place to explore what it means to be sentient and what being human might be like, and to solve mysteries and challenge difficult adversaries. Your hologram programs have to be carefully constructed to avoid mishaps!

Your abilities:
  • What happens on the holodeck stays on the holodeck:
    Twice during the game, you can spend the night phase in the hologram. Nearly all night actions will be unable to target you there, including night kills.
  • Use language...formally
    You must avoid using contractions in your game thread posts. Slip-ups happen, but if you use contractions more than 3 times in a game day, you will not be able to use the holodeck that night.

Borg Collective as played by KawaiiKame, petapan
Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
The Borg Collective, Hive of the Temporal Alliance
.

Although the few drones trapped in the temporal anomaly are still functioning as a hive due to your close proximity, you are cut off completely from the rest of the collective and your queen due to the energies containing the anomaly and giving it shape. Hence, you are driven to escape the anomaly as a matter of survival. This artificially created temporal anomaly is not a technology you want to acquire, and freeing yourself overrides your drive to assimilate anyone else trapped in the anomaly.

Your abilities:
  • Secondary Objective:
    Twice during the game at night you can target another player. If that player uses a
    non-factional
    ,
    non-killing
    ability that night, you will receive a copy of that action as a one-shot ability. You can use the ability on a subsequent night of your choice.

Una Chin-Riley, Number 1, Genetically Enhanced Illyrian of the Temporal Alliance
.

Your genetic enhancements are banned in the Federation, and you would never have allowed to join Starfleet if they had been detected. But, they do come in handy sometimes!

Your abilities:
  • Genetic Immunity:
    The first time you are targeted for a kill, you will self-heal and survive the otherwise fatal encounter. Your self-heal works Day, Night and anything in between until after it is used.
  • Illyrian non-grata:
    If your alignment is investigated, you will be found "Not a member of the Temporal Alliance".

Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Khan Noonian Singh, Wrathful Augment of the Temporal Alliance
.

You were part of Project Khan, a 1980s experiment in genetic engineering to create Augments -- superhumans. Superhumanity came with super dictatorial tendencies and the Eugenics Wars. You and some of your Augment compatriots eventually had to escaped Earth in a sleeper ship called Botany Bay. You were found and revived by the Enterprise in the 23rd century, and almost renewed your quest for the domination of humanity, or at least a human-colonized planet. Your quest failed and you and the other survivors of the Botany Bay were left by the Enterprise crew on Ceti Alpha V to colonize the harsh but livable planet. Unfortunately the planet didn't stay very livable and you blame Kirk and the Enterprise for the cruel fate that killed your wife and many of your friends. You want vengeance upon all who contributed to their deaths. The temporal anomaly has interfered with that vengeance. For now, to save the handful of remaining Augments, you have put aside your quest and will cooperate however you can to find a way out of the anomaly.

Your abilities:
  • From Hell's heart, I stab at thee:
    Should you be eliminated or otherwise die during Day phase or Night, you will have your compulsive vengeance. You will be able to choose a player to die with you. If you do not make the choice within 6 hours of my notification, your target will be selected randomly.

Your career in Starfleet communications took an unexpected and accelerated turn when Captain Pike ordered you to relieve the chief communications officer of the USS Enterprise when he was unable to differentiate between the Romulan and Vulcan languages. You, fortunately were fluent in all three Romulan dialects as well as the Vulcan language.

Your abilities:
  • Subspace Frequencies:
    Twice during the game at night you can choose another player to message. You can anonymously message the player as often as you like for a full day/night phase. To message the player, send the text to me via PM and I will send it along.

    If you target a character who was part of the Reboot films, you will form a neighborhood with that player. The neighborhood will be active as long as you both are alive.

You are
Seven Of Nine, Borg Liaison of Black Ops
.

With experience and exposure, you've grown impatient with the way Starfleet regulations too often tie the Federation's hands when it comes to responding to threats and opportunities. Section 31 discovered this and recruited you as an expert on the Borg and Black Ops liaison to the Borg Queen. The temporal anomaly represents both existential threat and unimaginable opportunity for Starfleet, for the Federation, and for a potential alliance of equals with the Borg. You are ready to help grasp the opportunity and and neutralize the threat.

Your abilities:
  • Speak Freely:
    The Black Ops Team are Porkens, Penguin Power and you. You can communicate privately at any time during the game, day or night here (PT link).
  • You say that I am a human being and yet, I am also Borg:
    Each night you can visit another player. Your implants will detect if that player is or has ever been a part of the Borg Collective.
  • Time to regenerate:
    If you learn that the player you visit is or has been Borg, you have the option to create a neighborhood with the player. Once the neighborhood is established, you can choose to add any subsequent Borg/former Borg you locate to the neighborhood.
  • You will be assimilated:
    Should Porkens be eliminated or killed, you will be able to assimilate and salvage any actions he had not yet used. You will be able to use those actions with the same conditions and restrictions starting on the next Night phase.
  • Critical Intelligence:
    You know that the second to last ability in every
    Temporal Alliance
    role pm is "
    Strange New Worlds:
    There may be aspects of your role you have not yet learned."
  • Citizen of the Galaxy:
    While you live, you have the inalienable right to use your voice and your vote as you see fit.
Win Condition:

You win when
Black Ops
achieves numerical parity with remaining non-
Black Ops
players.

Strange New Worlds -- none

The Borg Queen as played by Porkens
Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
The Borg Queen, Ally of Black Ops
.

The temporal anomaly has disrupted the subspace transceivers that enable you to communicate with and direct every Borg drone in transceiver range. You have never experienced loneliness before. Fortunately Section 31 operatives who are also trapped in the temporal anomaly have made an alliance with you. Your objective? To cooperate for the duration of this emergency. After that, you will pursue your own objectives once more.

Your abilities:
  • Speak Freely:
    The Black Ops Team are hebichan, PenguinPower and you. You can communicate privately at any time during the game, day or night here (PT link).
  • Share our biological and technological uniqueness:
    Two times during the the game you can give another player a device. You can give each device once:
    -- Ultimate Personal Weapon. If the player has a night kill (including the factional kill, the player can choose the night to use this weapon. The kill will be unstoppable unless their target either commutes, hides, or is redirected.
    --
    Personal Cloaking Device:
    . On the night the player decides to use this cloaking device, they will be invisible to all motion-based investigations, e.g., tracker, watcher, motion detector, etc.
    The recipient players will be able to use the devices on a subsequent night.
  • Bring order to chaos:
    Twice during the game at night you can take control of a player who is Borg or who has been Borg in the past. You have two abilities you can make the player use for you, and can use each ability once.
    --
    Dedicated bodyguard
    The controlled player will target you with the bodyguard ability that night.
    --
    Dedicated redirector:
    The controlled player will target you with a redirect to themself. Any night action targeting you that night will instead target the controlled player.
    As long as your target is or has been a borg, you will gain control of them. Your action cannot be interfered with. However, the player you control can be successfully targeted with any actions that can prevent the actions you make them take.
  • Critical Intelligence:
    You know that the second to last ability in every
    Temporal Alliance
    role pm is "
    Strange New Worlds:
    There may be aspects of your role you have not yet learned."
  • Citizen of the Galaxy:
    While you live, you have the inalienable right to use your voice and your vote as you see fit.
Win Condition:

You win when
Black Ops
achieves numerical parity with remaining non-
Black Ops
players.

Strange New Worlds - none

Julian Bashir as played by PenguinPower
Image
Welcome to the strangest temporal anomaly ever observed in the Four Quadrants!


Image


You are
Julian Bashir, Doctor of Black Ops
.

Three times is the charm. Twice you declined to be recruited by Section 31, but rumors of Changelings once again venturing out of the Delta Quadrant to impersonate, sabotage and otherwise weaken the post-Dominion War alliances persuaded you that desperate measures may be required. You and one other Black Ops agent were en route to the Bajoran Wormhole when your ship was swallowed up by the temporal anomaly. The two of you quickly ascertained that the anomaly was not a natural occurance. It was designed, and can be controlled. The possibilities a controllable temporal anomaly opens up are far too important to let slip away. Among the other space vessels also trapped within the temporal anomaly, you have found an unlikely but powerful ally.

Your abilities:
  • Speak Freely:
    The Black Ops Team are hebichan, Porkens and you. You can communicate privately at any time during the game, day or night here (PT link).
  • Once a doctor, always a doctor:
    Once during the game you can protect another player from night kills.
  • The Omega Molecule:
    This dangerous and highly volatile molecule is in stasis. You are able to release it. On the night it's released then all night actions except for explicitly unstoppable kills are blocked. This includes commute, redirect, hide, etc.
  • Critical Intelligence:
    You know that the second to last ability in every
    Temporal Alliance
    role pm is "
    Strange New Worlds:
    There may be aspects of your role you have not yet learned."
  • Citizen of the Galaxy:
    While you live, you have the inalienable right to use your voice and your vote as you see fit.
Win Condition:

You win when
Black Ops
achieves numerical parity with remaining non-
Black Ops
players.

I protected peta N3 btw.

Anyway - fun theme and setup. Thanks for designing and modding, fferyllt!

Apologies for my drop off (and this is my opinion as a player) but I was kinda put off by the amount of OGI that seeped in here coupled with a lot of work travel I didn't anticipate.

Tasha Yar stood by as the defendant was brought in for trial, on high alert for any suspicious activities. Her hand curled in frustration as she thought about the many crimes this man had allegedly been responsible for. Her phaser was near at hand, and thinking back to the scene which had unfolded before her several nights ago, it made her want to wrap her hand around it and dispense with the formalities immediately. She'd been so close by, lurking in the hallway near Data's quarters, wondering if she dared seek to enter- a sentiment cut short by the angry yells within. The sight of the angry form of Khan collapsing onto the broken shapes that once was her android friend, blaming Data with his dying breath for the vengeful old man's murder- she would never forget it. Nor forgive herself for not being able to stop it.

Drawing a sharp breath, she roused herself from the mental torment of reliving that moment, focusing upon the trial before her. It was soon evident that finally they had caught the last of the conspirators, a welcome relief after days of accusations, including many against her, a not unsurprising turn of events given how she'd failed in her job of keeping everyone secure. That was of secondary importance to her own self-recrimination, which would stay with her forever. Or at least for as long as it took to get out of this strange anomaly- who knew whether any of this even would exist outside of it? Perhaps everyone would be alive again, as if none of this ever existed.

With a sudden surge of hope at that thought, Tasha welcomed the flash of light that heralded Q's conclusion to the trial. Maybe the world would return to normal, and she would be able to find Data again sometime...

Kind of a confusing setup with some misdirection that was making me rather uncertain even as people started to come up pretty clear (why the hell can the Borg queen get a forced bodyguard that doesn't protect from anything, lol) but I love the effort put into it. Thanks for modding, ffery, I can tell you're clearly a Tasha fan too, that was a great role design. ;)

Thank the lord I didn't try to save Wavelength like I momentarily considered doing. Don't even wanna think about how badly it would've gone with both LLD and me claiming to have been roleblocked.
