Bob Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) In an flash, the Fleet Admiral, who will now be referred to as simply Admiral, appeared in the Rec-Room holding his phone time passages plot device. "I guess it worked." He heard voices off screen. "Oh, that's my cue. I better get going." Captain Ross McTague lay bruised and bloodied and quite dead on the table in the main rec room. Fleet Admiral Bob stepped through the crowd. He didn't look happy, probably because this was the second time he was seeing this. "Alright you scummy scummers straight from scummy town. We received a message from this ship from the killers. They're members of these League Of Purists, and they say more will die unless we cancel the mission." He paused I, however, am not one for quitting. Since I can't trust any of you, I've brought my own team in to fly the ship. The bridge is off-limits to all of you without one of my staff there. He paused again. Each day I'm ordering you to vote off whoever you think is a member of this cult. I've given a few of you special abilities to help you out." "We depart from Earth in few moments, are there any questions?" "Why do you wear green?" "Why do I feel like I've been here?" "Wahh wahhh wahhhh!" "Shush."

Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Loyalists or the League of Purists. To win the game, the Loyalists must vote or kill off all the League of Purists, while the League of Purists need to outnumber the Loyalists. Additionally, keep on the look out for other factions. 2. Each day will be played out in its own topic. During a day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting must be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to lynch a player, meaning that over half of the remaining players must vote for the same player to warrant a lynch. 3. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end after those 72 hours. After the day has concluded, a night will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of nighttime. 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the game host via PM. This includes all the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 6. Do not play the game outside the day threads. Similarly, do not post out-of-character inside the day threads. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 7. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. 8. Don't edit your posts, or I will cry. 9. Post in all of the day threads, or I will cry. 10. Please don't metagame too much, or I will cry. 11. Please don't make me cry or I will cry some more. 12. Feel free to look for clues in the pictures. And secret messages on the bottoms of salt shakers. And shoes in your butt. And potatoes. 13. I hate taking avatar photos, so don't make fun of me or I'll cry. 14. Violation of the above rules will result in a 5 vote penalty against you on your first offense, and the death of your character on your second offense. Your character will also die in the most gruesome and awful way possible. I also won't cry. Edited July 6, 2012 by Shadows Fixed rules.
Shadows Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Oh dear, not again... Let's just get this out of the way from the start. Someone throw a fit! Seriously, that fit over there needs throwing, one of you subordinates can just pick it right up and throw it. Go on, you know you want to. *time passes* So, until one of you gets off your sorry butt and throws that fit, let's look for clues! Look at the clock... IT NEVER CHANGES! *time passes* SEE? IT NEVER CHANGES!!!
Palathadric Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Your hair reminds me of someone that I saw who got killed in a dream that did not seem unlike this very incident. As it turned out, that person was really evil and wicked. Could we be far wrong in making you our first lynch? Besides, think of the benefits. Not needing to see that hair prowling around the spaceship for one.
KotZ Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 *time passes* So, until one of you gets off your sorry butt and throws that fit, let's look for clues! Look at the clock... IT NEVER CHANGES! *time passes* SEE? IT NEVER CHANGES!!! That is a problem. That shouldn't be happening, it defies all my research. Megablocks I need to fix that. Does anyone feel like we all had a dream of this before?

Palathadric Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 That's what I just said. Why are you copying me? Are you scum? I still don't like Mr. Brown the Curly-Haired. Hey! Don't metagame you megablocker! Please don't cry, Mr. Admiral, sir. I'm sure we will find the scum who did this.
Shadows Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I still don't like Mr. Brown the Curly-Haired. Do you know what happened to the last man who criticized my hair? He won the lottery, married a hot blonde, bought a mansion and a fast spaceship. Had it all. A short time later he commented, "anyone else hear that ticking?" but there wasn't anyone else around, just a package he didn't recognise. "Heh, a gift, I really do have it all, unlike that punk with the bad hair." The explosion that wiped the smug grin off his face was said to have shaken every house in the area, but fortunately the security footage survived. Do you get my point here, or should I be less subtle? I'm pretty sure I saw that on a late night holovid. Yeah, that's it. I think it was called "Da Bomb."
Dragonator Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I do love some good security footage. Let's go about this investigation calmly and with the utmost respect to our Admiral, crazy bastard that he is.
Peanuts Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Well, here we are...again. The Captain is dead, again, and I'm an Ensign. I guess I should repair that clock, too, before anyone forgets what time it is. And Ensign Pewter is judging people by their hairstyles, just as Ensign Rockford used to do. At least Pewter isn't blond.
Tamamono Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Not to fear, fair crew of the Excalibur! I, Commander Cammy Lieutenant Mike, will use my incredible deductive skills to figure out who these nasty Purists are! Then we can show them that the only cults allowed in this world are those of evil Egyptian gods!
Dakar A Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Good morning, crew of the Excalibur! I feel like I had the weirdest dream last night, lots of gambits (whatever those are, I heard the word being thrown around alot) and some silly lynching. Oh well, a new day, a new morning!
Palathadric Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Do you get my point here, or should I be less subtle? Hmm...let me guess. That you are scum and that you're planning to plant a bomb in my quarters? I won't fall for that ploy Mr. Scumo, but I wouldn't mind if you do it. I've got some secuity cameras that I'm still working on setting up. They are in my quarters for now and they will catch all your activity. Even if I do, all the arrows will point at you as being the scum. Sorry. Not even your hairstyle can save you now.

I can't tell if you're joking or serious, but either way, I think it would be best to cut this out. Hornby hasn't done anything wrong, as far as I know, and coming up with far-fetched cases against him just causes confusion.

Hornby hasn't done anything wrong, as far as I know, and coming up with far-fetched cases against him just causes confusion. Yes, sir. Although, due to the confusion being caused by this whole scenario we find ourselves in, I find it enjoyable to finally put some of your junior commanders in their place, sir. They are very obnoxious, you know.
fhomess Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 We need to do something about those mutant roses that grow out of all the corpses on this ship.
Scubacarrot Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I can't tell if you're joking or serious, but either way, I think it would be best to cut this out. Hornby hasn't done anything wrong, as far as I know, and coming up with far-fetched cases against him just causes confusion. Of course he isn't serious . But yes, play time is over, this is where there the insults and tomfoolery stop, and the hunt for the scum begins.
AwesomeStar Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Of course he isn't serious . But yes, play time is over, this is where there the insults and tomfoolery stop, and the hunt for the scum begins. Wise words. Clearly we have a (familiar) situation on our hands here and we should take it seriously, even if just out of respect for the late Captain.
Brickdoctor Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 MegaBloks, oh, horror, someone's dead, someone's trying to kill me, anybody got any leads, blah, blah, blah, standard response. But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. There, I'm glad I got that out of the way. So, until one of you gets off your sorry butt and throws that fit, let's look for clues! Look at the clock... IT NEVER CHANGES! *time passes* SEE? IT NEVER CHANGES!!! Did you try changing the batteries? Good morning, crew of the Excalibur! I feel like I had the weirdest dream last night, lots of gambits (whatever those are, I heard the word being thrown around alot) and some silly lynching. Oh well, a new day, a new morning! Gambit.
Scubacarrot Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Wise words. Clearly we have a (familiar) situation on our hands here and we should take it seriously, even if just out of respect for the late Captain. Your attemp to mimic me has been noted.
AwesomeStar Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Your attemp to mimic me has been noted. I agreed with you, that's all.
Dannylonglegs Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Dead body! *Vomits* But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. Hey! That's my MO! filthy no good copy cat. Your attemp to mimic me has been noted. And so has this. Are you really pointing out Francis's 'unhelpful actions'? I'm feeling a bit of Deja Vu, but also a bit of suspicion towards you for having pointed them out. A prevalent logic fallacy often abused by the antagonists in certain situations such as the one in which we find ourselves is to target those who, by lack of experience or analytical prowess, cannot make themselves evidently 'useful' in isolating the Scum from the Town, as behaving 'scummy,' when in most circumstances the behavior would be better termed 'nooby.' Your quickness to "note" these actions suggests to me that your agenda would be furthered by Lynching a nooby Townie. I may be wrong but this looks like an attempt to get him to crack under pressure, which you already know won't be hard, and won't be useful to the town, and once he's succesfully lynched by you and your scum-buddies (maybe excluding one for caution) and a bandwagon full of drunken townsfolk, you can say: "Huh, the way he responded to my suspicions made me even more convinced he was scum. Oh well, at least he won't be around any more to clog up our out-lawed scumdars... Who's next? "
Masked Builder Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 My my, what an awful occasion. I'll get someone on that clock right away, Hornby.
Scubacarrot Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 And so has this. Are you really pointing out Francis's 'unhelpful actions'?

Dannylonglegs Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 So you are going after me for pointing out a piece of clear sheepish behaviour. Good job. Yes I am, because, he's a sheep. (No offence.) He is very easily pointed out as a sheep. It would be very easy to get him lynched for sheepy behavior, and Townie or not, no one would really care because "He was mucking-up our scumdars."
Hinckley Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Someone throw a fit! OK! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Oh my God, we're all going to die! That man is dead! I know something but I'm not sure I should share it. Admiral, I don't understand what a neutral win condition is. Can you explain it?? Why haven't my other team members responded to the writeboard??? I'm so confused!! Am I only allowed to kill one person at night? Someone explain to me how this works. I'm defiantly confused. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh! :cry3: Now I have pooped myself! We're all going to die we're all going to die we're all going to die we're all going to die!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! How was that? Your hair reminds me of someone that I saw who got killed in a dream that did not seem unlike this very incident. As it turned out, that person was really evil and wicked. Could we be far wrong in making you our first lynch? Besides, think of the benefits. Not needing to see that hair prowling around the spaceship for one. This is a great idea. Let's base all of our strategies off of this guy's dreams. Hey! Don't metagame you megablocker! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Why is the host talking to us? That's bad hosting. You suck!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! poop, poop, poop. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Do you know what happened to the last man who criticized my hair? He won the lottery, married a hot blonde, bought a mansion and a fast spaceship. Had it all. A short time later he commented, "anyone else hear that ticking?" but there wasn't anyone else around, just a package he didn't recognise. "Heh, a gift, I really do have it all, unlike that punk with the bad hair."

Do you get my point here, or should I be less subtle? I'm pretty sure I saw that on a late night holovid. Yeah, that's it. I think it was called "Da Bomb." He's the bomb! I knew it! He's the bomb again! And everybody seated is Scum. You thought this joke was just for the confirmation thread??? Oh no! It's for now. Bomb, Scum, Bomb, Scum, Poop, Scum, Bomb! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Poop. I do love some good security footage. Let's go about this investigation calmly and with the utmost respect to our Admiral, crazy bastard that he is. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! We have to stay calm!!!! What we do??? How do we stay calm?? Can we do it???? :cry3: Waaaaaaaah. I've pooped and peed myself now. I can't tell if you're joking or serious, but either way, I think it would be best to cut this out. Hornby hasn't done anything wrong, as far as I know, and coming up with far-fetched cases against him just causes confusion. [serious] Why are you PMing me so early in the game? Seems like you're trying to buddy up [metagame] as you were advised to do by an expert last time you got in my trusted circle [/metagame] It's very odd that I would receive a "Yay, we're playing a game together!" message from you before Day One even starts when you have no reason to trust anybody yet. If we had to vote right now, I would vote for you. [/serious] A prevalent logic fallacy often abused by the antagonists ... Oh no!!!!! An evil phallus??? Whatever will we do? Waaah!3
