In the beginning of the game, it is merely a Russian roulette, where you're far more likely to hit a townie than a mafioso. It only becomes the town's weapon if we have information on who to hit with it and why.Quote:

You saying my voting doesn't make sense, doesn't make it so. Your logic for my lynching, however, makes no sense. You are trying to poke holes in my logic, which simply isn't working. And the fact that you are very clearly endorsing the random killing of townies shows why I am voting for you.Quote:

You and I have different perspectives on lynching it seems. What happens if the mafia kills off the power roles early? What then? I never said I was random lynching either.
However, you're selfvoting when so little time in the phase has passed and you are only ahead my two votes over te nearest target? Why?
(I think lynching is better then not lynching in almost every case.)
Vote: Follow the Space Whale
and
Vote: Abstain (at the moment)
Incorrect. A lynch is more likely to kill a townie, true, but in a standard game it is infinitly more likely to kill mafia than a mafia night kill, and a greater lynch to night kill ratio is therefore more likely to create a town victory. Also the threat of lynching is a great way to trigger sometimes incriminating reactions from players and creates a voting record which is useful in the later rounds.Quote:

Of course this game will be a little different. I believe we have 4 different mafia teams (if this is true at least one of the teams must have night actions other than killing, or we would expect more night kills?), which can each kill each other. However because none of these teams is going to kill themselves our lynches are still more likely to bag us a scum than abstaining.
I think he assumed we have a few power roles because town normally has a few power roles.Quote:

To me this doesn't seem like an attempt to misguide the town and is instead just a case of genuine lack of knowledge, but I don't like that self vote and I don't see a better option.
vote: Jolt
I actually asked Chaotix when he sent the invitiation PM how vanilla it was, and he said it had a few power roles, so that's where that comes from.
In the interest of fairness, these were my exact words:Quote:

If there's more than one Mafia, then the town odds improve since there's the chance that the mafias kill each other (As was in Rubicon, for example). In this game, we apparently have 4 different mafia groups (Composed of 1 person, I guess, which means 1 is already dead killed by another mafia). And the fact that you are voting for me based on no evidence whatsoever, only leads credence that you are indeed randomly lynching.Quote:

This is what I'm talking about getting sick of being lynched for no reason.
I got my own points across. Lynching in the beginning at random (For me) is silly. I already 4 votes based on me actually not wanting to lynch randomly (2 of them without any reason at all, but I am past caring).
I'm already tired of defending myself when there's nothing to defend. Came back to try and have fun in this game and I'm already sick of it.
Unvote, Vote: Jolt
Vote: Visorslash for voting for Jolt. A zombie/pirate/ninja/robot would be paying enough attention to realize from Chaotix's writing that painting the ship's name would result in certain and unavoidable space whale consumption. Jolt did not realize this. Therefore Jolt is not likely a zombie/pirate/ninja/robot. Thus I am voting for the space cadet who is voting for innocent space cadet Jolt.
Also, vote: Space Whale

Which is utterly and patently wrong. In this Mafia game, provided there are only 4 mafioso and all of them are enemies of each other, the town only has a very slight increased chance at lynching one mafioso than there is of a mafioso hitting another mafioso. All the while the most likely probability is that your going to be lynching a townie and helping the Mafioso all along.Quote:

EDIT: Actually, it might be the same one.
I'm not certain there are only 4 mafioso. That seems like too few for this many players, especially if they are all divided into rival teams. And yes we are only marginally more likely to kill scum than the scum are themselves, but it is still better for us if a higher proportion of the kills in this game are town lynches. Remember that we need voting records and we need to put pressure on players to help us discover scum. Leaving it all down to our power roles is just too dangerous.Quote:

How about two Mafia teams? Two teams of two is plenty enough for 28 mostly-vanilla players
The Ninja is with the Robot, while the Pirate is with the Zombie.
:smug:
Still on the lookout for any surprise attacks from laser Dinos and Sharks.
Well the pirate didn't attack anyone, although that indicates inactivity more than anything.
Also, Chaotix extended the round, citing lack of Night orders, which indicates there are more than four people sending in orders.
There's always the possibility that the mafia are split up at the beginning and have to find each other.
EDIT: Also, two teams of two doesn't seem very balanced. The two scum teams will kill each other if they're both that small.
Only through luck.Quote:

All right then, Cadets. Looks like Jolt goes to Space Jail, and we follow the Space Whale. I learned to rhyme at Space Yale.
Stay tuned while I notify the Captain.

STILL DAY 1
[WAKE CYCLE 2]
When the Space Cadets reconvened at the end of the cycle, the Captain took a look at the tallied votes.
For one thing, he was quite pleased that the Cadets had chosen to follow the Space Whale rather than head into that boring old Asteroid Belt. It wasn’t like the Belt was known to contain the ruins of some ancient spacefaring civilization with all sorts of crazy space technology or something like that.
Besides, this was Uranium they were talking about. Enough Uranium for a GIANT SPACE WHALE to take a bath in it! A prize that great had to be worth all the potential danger involved – such as the rumors of the extremely harsh climates of the planets that the GIANT SPACE WHALES lived on, or the fact that it might not take kindly to a spaceship less than a tenth of its size trying to steal all that Uranium.
The Captain didn’t want to think about that. Pleased with the results, he went back to the bridge and set his thermal trackers to the GIANT SPACE WHALE’s heat signature and directed the Galactic Chutzpah to begin following in its wake.
Then he remembered there was that other vote he had to check.
The Captain was less pleased with this vote. There was a clear majority, but it certainly wasn’t without opposition… he had expected his best and brightest to find the culprit almost immediately. He had a couple of Cadets checking out the ruined Space Gameroom below decks for clues, but there was nothing besides the bodies. Even the computers had been busted beyond all repair. Well, it’s not like the computers could have helped them catch the culprit or anything like that. They certainly wouldn’t have shown this very scene about to unfold and whether or not their chosen suspect was guilty or innocent.
Well, he had to make do with what he was given.
“Space Cadet Jolt! You have been found guilty of Space Treason through a vote by your peers. You have been sentenced to life imprisonment in Space Jail. How do you plead?”
Jolt was pretty annoyed at this turn of events, to put it mildly.
“What do you mean, how do I plead, doofus? You already sentenced me! If you wanted to hear how I would plead, you should have asked me before you convicted me!”
“Oh. Well, then, I take it back for the moment. How do you plead?”
“No, it doesn’t work that way, either. In order to overturn your verdict, you first have to have to appeal your decision. Then you have to hold a hearing for your appeal. Don’t you know anything about Space Maritime Law? How did you get to be Captain, anyway?”
The Captain was getting pretty embarrassed right now. It was not a usual occurrence for him to get one-upped by his own crewmates. No, not at all. Especially not the ones he was trying to sentence to Space Jail.
“Look, can we just pretend I haven’t found you guilty of anything yet? I really just want to hear how you plead.”
“Nope. I refuse to plead at all.”
“That’s just really not cool. I had this all worked out in my head how this trial was going to go down, and now you’re just ruining it.”
“Well, if you want to hear someone plead so badly, why don’t you plead instead?”
The Captain chuckled just at the thought of that. He decided to humor the little man.
“Plead what?”
“FOR YOUR LIFE.”
“What.”
This was cause for a little bit of alarm. As snarky as Jolt had been to him, that last bit was really out of character for him. And the Captain kept getting this strange feeling that his speech had suddenly changed from blue to red, and – wait, what? That last sentence made no sense at all. Speech doesn’t have color, that’s just silly.
Nonetheless, the Captain decided to take a bit of a closer look at Jolt. His skin was kind of rotting off of his face, and generally all over his body, but there were lots of exposed places that were just made of metal instead. And it was all remarkable that he could discern this, because over his body and Space Cadet uniform, Jolt looked to be wearing a black bed-sheet wrapped all the way around his body and face a few times, so that he could barely see out of the eye slits.
And it was the strangest thing, one of his eyes was all glowing and metallic, and the other one was an eyepatch. Wait. AN EYEPATCH??
How had he not noticed it before? Underneath his mechanical left thigh was a sinister peg leg, and on his rotting right arm was a hook! And worst of all, on top of his head… a feathered hat with a skull and crossbones on its front.
“You… You’re a PIRATE!”
The Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie seemed amused.
“WELL… YOU ARE ONLY THREE QUARTERS WRONG.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you only three-quarters of a Pirate or something? I mean, you’re missing an eye, and a leg, and a hand… hey, yeah, that’s about a quarter of your body, right? HA! I have solved your riddle, scum of the seas!”
“ENOUGH TALK. NOW WE FIGHT. OR TO BE MORE PRECISE, I FLIP OUT AND HAVE A 99.9% CHANCE OF KILLING YOU WHILE YOU RUN AROUND SCREAMING LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. THEN I WILL HAVE YOUR PRECIOUS BOOTY. AND YOUR BRAINS.”
The Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie drew the broadsword hanging at his hip with his left hand, and held up the hook that replaced his right menacingly. Then two more robotic arms sprouted from his body, one holding a katana and the other a massive laser cannon. It all looked like quite a threatening ensemble, compared to the pea shooter the Captain wore at his hip.
Within seconds, the Meeting and Bingo Hall was in pandemonium as the Captain and the Space Cadets ran around screaming. And it seemed that the Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie’s mathematical calculations had been correct.
Then a vent opened up in the floor and a few tubes poked out of it, each with what looked like a spray nozzle at the end. Before Jolt could so much as “Yarr!” in surprise, jets of supercooled liquid nitrogen blasted him in the face, and he was cryogenically frozen solid on the spot.
“Time to go to Space Jail.”
With the threat neutralized, the Captain quickly tried to call his Cadets to order and salvage some semblance of his dignity. This wasn’t the first time the Galactic Chutzpah’s autopilot AI had saved his career, but he wasn’t about to let his crew know that.
“Err… excellent work, everyone. It all went exactly according to my plan. Now, uhh, I just need two of you to help me escort the big guy down to Space Jail. It’s time this Pirate was locked up behind some good old fashioned laser bars.”
Note: This write-up has been truncated for your own safety. Space Jail is so horrible and terrible that even if it was described here, your mind would immediately block it out to prevent severe neurological trauma. In fact, for all you know it is being described here but your feeble mind is only capable of reading these safer sentences instead. Move along now.

IT’S NOT GOING TO STOP BEING DAY 1
[SLEEP CYCLE 2]
The capture of the Pirate Ninja Robot Zombie had left most of the crew of the Galactic Chutzpah in high spirits. Sure, the whole part where they all almost died was a little bit nerve-wracking, but after that was over and the Space Cadets had finished running around and screaming, they felt they were in a pretty good position. Surely the presence of that creature explained all the killings going on. Surely it would be smooth sailing from here to the Planet of the GIANT SPACE WHALES.
DaveShack, for one, was sleeping quite peacefully. He had no sort of preoccupation or disorder whatsoever that prevented him from sleeping and put him in a vulnerable position out in the middle of a dark ship with no one else around. In fact, being only a Space Cadet, he shared a room with three other crew members, so if anything, he was safer even while sleeping.
That sleep cycle, he had been having a particularly vivid dream. There were a bunch of dinosaurs and sharks, and they all had laser guns, and they were having an awesome battle in the middle of space. It was typical for DaveShack to have dreams that took place in space. Space was his favorite thing in the whole universe, and it was a good thing, too, because the universe was mostly made up of space. So whenever space turned up in one of his dreams, he made special note of it that it might be important to him, so he should remember that. DaveShack didn’t really know what to make of laser-wielding dinosaurs and sharks, though.
And that was the last dream-thought that DaveShack ever had. A poison dart in his neck stopped his heart, and he died painlessly in his sleep. The dark figure vanished from the room as silently as it had entered, waking none of the other crew members.
The Ninja silently congratulated himself on a job well done. He hadn’t flipped out or anything this time. Then he realized that he had no reason for leaving the other three crew members in that room alive, and he could have taken them out just as easily. The Ninja sighed. It seemed there would be much flipping out to do after all, once he got back to the privacy of his own quarters.
---
The Robot activated his cloaking device, so as to roam the halls of the Galactic Chutzpah unseen. This actually didn’t help to hide him at all, because every step he took still made a heavy clanking sound on the metal floor. However, he knew that the Space Cadets on this ship were none too bright, so he wasn’t that worried. They didn’t even know multivariable calculus, based on his conversations with them. How could they possibly find him out?
The Robot stopped outside his destination door. A small crew room, designed to hold four Space Cadets. He could kill all four of them quite easily, but he was sure to make a racket in doing so. More likely than not, one would be able to sound an alarm before a guided missile was able to give him a dramatic face lift.
So the Robot had to use cunning for this one. Cunning capable of only an artificial intelligence.
He knocked on the door. A loud metal clanging rang throughout the hall, and as the Robot assumed, the room within, rousing all the crew members inside from their slumber. Using his acute auditory sensors, he heard the four of them arguing from within about which one of them should answer the door. Finally, it seemed one of them had lost the argument, and grumpily trudged over to the door and opened it.
This unlucky individual happened to be Arjos. Since the Robot’s cloaking device was still activated, Arjos saw nothing but an empty hallway when he looked out. He stood there groggily wiping the sleep from his eyes for a second or two, and was about to turn around and close the door.
Then a guided missile appeared out of nowhere and exploded in his face.
The Robot managed to escape before the other crew members had even discerned what had happened
---
Seon was not sleeping like the rest of the crew. If there were Ninjas around, he had best be on guard.
The way he saw it, he could defend himself better awake than he could asleep. And more than that, he could defend himself better drunk than sober.
Wait… that can’t be right. No, it was the other way around. He definitely was able to defend himself better sober than drunk. Well, too late now. That ship had sailed. If only he had remembered that vital bit of information before he headed down to the empty Space Bar for a bottle of his favorite Nebulon-Three Blue Sake.
Seon spun around on his stool when he heard the door to the bar open. From the looks of it, there was nothing the bar could help this newcomer with, at least not until he took a nap and was able to walk without stumbling. He had a rather funny looking hat and was carrying an empty bottle. Rum, from the looks of it. The man took one look at Seon and then gestured to a colorful bird perched on his shoulder.
“Yaharrr! Why look at this, Polly, it seems we have a new drinking companion!”
Then he hurled the empty bottle at Seon’s face.
SAMURAI VS PIRATE!!!
Seon ducked and the bottle narrowly missed him, sailing over his head to smash against the wall behind the bar. He stumbled as he got to his feet, but was immensely relieved to find he had remembered to bring his sword with him.
“Oho! Be careful with that thing there, wouldn’t want to poke your eye out. Then you’d look like me! Har har harrrr!”
Seon bristled under the slight to his skill. He was drunk, and he would brook no insult with this laughing fool.
“You dare insult my honor?”
“Wh-”
“HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”
Before the Pirate could reply, Seon loosed a blood-curdling war-cry and charged straight for him. In response, the Pirate clumsily swung up his broadsword to block the attack. Luckily for him, Seon’s stroke was just as clumsy and bounced off the blade, throwing the Samurai off-balance.
The Pirate pressed the attack, swinging his blade in wide, sloppy arcs. Ordinarily, they would be easy for Seon to avoid, but in the state he was in it took all of his effort to block or dodge out of the way in time. After a few strokes the Samurai managed to throw up a parry that left the Pirate open, and thrust forward in an attack that only narrowly missed because he was feeling a bit dizzy.
Then the Pirate pulled out his Space Musket with his left hand, still holding the sword in the right. He had sawed off the barrel so that he could aim and fire it with only a single hand. Luckily for Seon, Space Muskets were as notoriously inaccurate as the two of them were drunk. They fired circular energy balls that bounced around in the barrel before they left, often causing the shots to veer off course. And the fact that the Pirate was drunk was like to make it even more inaccurate.
And inaccurate he was. Seon was easily able to anticipate each shot and duck or move out of the way before it hit him, if it was even on track to hit him at all. The problem was that he couldn’t very well walk up and stab the guy while he was getting shot at.
So Seon came up with the best plan that he could in the state that he was in. He charged straight forward again. A Space Musketball grazed past his shoulder as he lunged, causing him to wince, but he kept moving. He sliced in an upward arc, removing the Pirate’s left hand at the wrist.
The Pirate stared at his new bloody stump in disbelief.
“Yarr! Ye cut off me hand!”
“That I did. Now surrender.”
The Samurai had his blade at the Pirate’s neck. Then he felt a stabbing pain in his gut and saw the broadsword protruding from his stomach. In the confusion and adrenaline, he had only noticed the fatal blow now, when it was too late.
“I don’t think so, matey.”
Seon dropped his katana and clutched at his stomach. When the Pirate unsheathed his sword from his abdomen, he dropped to his knees, the strength ebbing out of him with his life.
“That was a mighty fine battle ye gave me, matey. I have no doubt we shall walk the plank in the afterlife together, as brothers in arms. What do ye think, Polly?”
The parrot squawked a reply. He would have to teach it to talk at some point; that would make the write-ups much more interesting. With Seon dead on the floor, he left the bar, considerably sobered by the confrontation.

STILL DAY 1
[WAKE CYCLE 3]
The next wake cy-
B-BOOOOOOOOM!!!
SPLOOOOSH!!
CRACKLE FRACKLE CRACKLE BLURBLE GLURBLE BLURBLE…
The next wake cycle, the crew of the Galactic Chutzpah found themselves stranded on an unknown planet, at the bottom of one of its oceans. This was deemed by most to be a non-ideal state of order, so they went to the Meeting and Bingo Room for guidance from their Captain.
“Listen up, Cadets! Apparently, last sleep cycle, the Galactic Chutzpah’s main engine exploded. We are still determining what caused the explosion, but we did find the remains of a dead Space Cadet in the engine room. Unfortunately, he was so disfigured by the blast that we cannot determine his identity. In addition, three other Space Cadets were found dead, of unrelated causes.”
“You may have noticed there is some flooding in the ship. Luckily, our increasingly useful on-ship AI succeeded in closing down bulkheads to stop the flooding, so the rest of the ship will stay dry so long as the hull doesn’t sustain any more damage. Also, if you see any water, report it to me and DON’T drink it. It’s not water, it’s liquid ammonia. That’s very bad for you.”
“Hey, why is the ship flooding anyway?”
“I’m glad you asked. As it happens, we have crash landed on the as-yet uncharted planet of the GIANT SPACE WHALES. And if we’re going to acquire their tubs of Uranium or just get moving in general, we’re going to need to fix that engine. I’ve got two different plans for this ready to set in motion. First, I suggest we scout for raw materials or resources. We can either send a shuttle to the surface, or search the seafloor. I’ll leave that to a vote.”
The Space Cadets, not too psyched about venturing into oceans of liquid ammonia where beasts as large as GIANT SPACE WHALEs could lurk, eagerly awaited the second plan.
“Second, I’m going to need a volunteer for this one. The autopilot has suggested we prevent the engine from ever exploding in the first place. To do that, we’ll need be needing the Time Machine.”

Listen up, folks! In order to allow you sufficient time to brainstorm and figure out how to proceed in this situation, we're going to have an extra-long wake cycle. Oh, don't look at me like that, we all know none of you are really sleeping during the sleep cycles anyway.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
This is bad - an ally has fallen.
Vote: edse
Vote: Seafloor
I agree with Searching the Seafloor
Search Double A. He says he only has two A's, but he might be holding out on us.
I understand from write-up that we have three options? Seafloor, surface, or time-machine?Quote:

I think we just have an option between seafloor and surface, and whoever we lynch goes in the time machine where they will have some sort of horrific accident.Quote:

Cold dead finger of suspicion for edse, he's clearly talking out of his rear end XD

I approve of his dreams.
Jarema figured out what will happen with the time traveller, so wouldn't he be the best to send back?Quote:

Why are people voting for edse, exactly?
vote: Montmorency. Visorslash helped catch a ninja zombie robot pirate. I think we can lay off the suspicion on him for at least one round. As for those who are voting for me, I plead incompetence as a townie rather than.
vote: seafloor
Who's suspicious? No one's suspicious.
Rather than what?Quote:

First rule of the ship: you don't creep about a point like a coward.
Speak, or you will die.
Kill, or you will die.
There is no room for rulebreakers on this ship.
Rather than being scum. See! I can't even finish writing my sentences! How could I possibly be one of the cunning and handsome ninja/robot/pirate/zombies?
Vote: dcmort93
