The Golden Rule [Concluded]

[woad&fangs]

So long as we're hypothesizing about the FBI agent:

"It seems someone destroyed OUR equipment.



OUR. WE. Is this supposed to imply there is actually two agents? If not, then I fail to see how Chaotix could have been the agent; dead men tell no tales, so the saying goes. If Chaotix was the agent, then there could not have been a new log.

I believe, like GH, that the last FBI log was from the headquarters and not the agent.

[Beefy187]

Ah I see it now. GHs theory sounds right.

Apologies for a shameless bandwagon but I would have to vote for Reenk

Vote: Reenk

I see what you mean as GH dominating the discussion. However his theories seems to be pretty accurate til now. I don't really think he is one of the killers. Also he was attacked by YLC pretty badly. I don't think he could've done deadly deeds after being attacked.

I think Khaan is also innocent as YLC claimed that his the one who attacked as if he is the surgeon. Other then that write up, there is not much evidence against Khaan so far.

Reenk has avoided bandwagons and stuff so far as he is constantly opposing the mainstream lynching ideas. However as we were able to kill one scum off yesterday, I rekon the town is functioning fairly well so far.

If GH is correct and ATPGs write up is accurate, FBI is now gone (although the navy seem to know our location) and one traitor down. Although there seems to be one killer still roaming around I think we can expect a decent finale, with us all bailing with small share of the gold.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Keep in mind that the FBI agent may not be dead, just out of contact with HQ.

Unless ATPG is going to be mean, I guess we could find out on the next FBI log.

Day Eight-

Reenk Roink looked at the tally and realized he was done for. Reenk dropped his weapon too, remembering what had happened to those who had tried to shoot their way out.

"I surrender" he said. "I just want to have one last look at the beautiful sky before I die. And I also have things I must confess." The rest of the group led him out to the deck, where the sun was setting. "Anyone have some of that celebratory wine from when we managed to escape with the gold?" Someone left the group and Reenk continued to talk.

"I have to tell you, fellows, that I had designs on the gold myself. But I resisted the temptation. I was not responsible for any of the deaths aboard this ship, and never once did I try to kill any of you." The man returned with the chilled wine. Reenk began to drink as he stood and watched the sun set in the west. "I also have no idea if the FBI is aboard this ship. It seems to me, we would have noticed if there were such an infiltrator. But I had my suspicions, as the rest of you did."

Reenk took another sip. "One thing I do know... is that someone is playing you like a fiddle. I don't know who, or how... but I've seen the way you guys have been behaving of late and it's clear you're starting to panic. Just relax and it will come." Reenk took one final look at the sunset.

"You guys need to figure out who tried to kill YLC. I'm sure they have some explaining to do as well. I guess I am ready. One last thing... I'm not really a security guard. But I had my reasons for wanting to keep my identity a secret." Reenk downed the last of the wine, and smashed the glass against the deck. "All right you coward!!! Why don't you have some cajones and shoot me first???"

The entire group hesitated.... waiting to see who would shoot first.

"Ha! I guess he doesn't have the grapes to come forward."

One of them stepped forward. "Enough of this... the vote is finished. We kill Reenk, as we agreed. On the count of three... one... two..."

Several people fired, but some did not. It all happened so fast. Reenk fell to the ground and bled slowly to death, laughing at the sick irony of it all.



Begin Night Eight

[Askthepizzaguy]

Night Eight



Beefy left his cabin that night with murderous intent. He headed for the surgeon's room, with the idea of slicing the man to pieces with his long, sharp sword. He deftly slipped in through the narrow port hole, and listened to his victim sleep. He silently moved across the room.

Seireikhaan began firing his weapon, and the startled Beefy dropped his weapon.

The noise woke all the other members of the crew. Everyone rushed to Seireikhaan's cabin, and he moved to unlock the door.

"Now, mister 'communications expert', let's see if you can communicate to the crew exactly what the hell you were doing in my room trying to kill me?"

"What happened?" Asked TevashSzat.

"This wretched little rat snuck into my room through the open porthole, and did not see in the darkness that I was still awake. A sword is no match for a gun, my silent little assassin." said Seireikhaan.

Beefy just hung his head in defeat. "I can explain, if you just give me the chance"

"Sure, explain away. Seems we're taking another trip outside into the fresh air today..."


_


They led Beefy to the top deck.

"Might I have one final request?"

The crew nodded.

"I would like to have one last tasty juicy beefsteak. Nothing would please me more than to taste it's tender meat one last time."

So they cooked up a steak in the kitchen for mister Beefy, who remained mostly silent, and under heavy guard.

Beefy ate the tasty meat and savored it's rich flavor. "Oh, this is so good... much better than chicken, or lamb. In fact, I heard once that chicken can kill you..."

Askthepizzaguy was sitting at home in Florida laughing.

"Now that I'm finished, I would like to say this:"

Beefy took the steak knife and flung it with great skill and ability towards the one known as Seireikhaan, and with pure reflexes, Seireikhaan ducked out of the way. The rest of the crew was stunned for a moment at the sheer bravery of the act, but quickly turned their weapons on Beefy and fired.

Beefy was very agile, and made several backflips and did one final leap off of the tanker into the waters of the Atlantic. The crew watched helplessly as he dove into the water. But Seireikhaan would not let his attacker get away that easily. He fired blindly into the dark shimmering waters, and listened carefully.

There were moans of pain... and even in the moonlight, the waters turned bloody red. The sharks had been following the tanker for some time now, since they had been feasting on the bodies that had been dumped overboard. Beefy had nearly escaped into the water, but without a life preserver, he had no real chance of survival... and then the bullet wounds finished him off.

There would be no more Beef served aboard the tanker.

OK, Beefy, I'm sorry to have to do this, but I will have to rip apart your post to show all the flaws with it (and at the same time show the flaws of GeneralHankercheif's theories).

You agree with me that GeneralHankerchief is dominating the discussion. Good. It seems so incredibly obvious but I really don't know how the town will react... Would you also agree that this is dangerous?

Again, I don't have much of a case against seireikhaan either anymore. He shouldn't be the focus of much as of yet given what we know: GeneralHankerchief and woad&fangs after his "reveal" are much more intriguing prospects.

This is what I think of the YLC situation. Given all I know about YLC from his behavior in The Prometheus and statements in the Prometheus and Scourge of Ephesus games he is a townie that will spitefully try to hurt the town if he is lynched.

Look how he laughs at the town in the kill writeup, and then reinforces it in the thread as well as through Askthepizzaguy's sayings.

My theory, which is much less naive that GeneralHankerchief's theory is that YLC is not the traitor but rather asked Askthepizzaguy to write his lynch writeup like that. After all, why the heck would the traitors decide to reveal that one of them were dead?

It is much more likely as I describe it.

Lastly, I do want to know one thing Beefy, you have hounded me this whole game more than anyone else? And for no good reasons as you have stated multiple times? Why is this? You know what I am beginning to think? The "Reenk is always a good choice" card has been played by Mafia before, always jumping on my suspiciousness, and I believe there's a good chance you are playing the same...

And shilin28, your reason against me is not much better either. You claim I have popped out after "low activity" which is just not true, because I have participated in every round.

[Beefy187]

At least its not getting you lynched See flawed logic is awesome. It can protect you

Okay. Now serious. I'm sorry for haunting you. Although your not right about me being the mafia, I have been lazy.... No... I have been a usual Beefy not putting much thoughts into who to lynch. And your absolutely right. Your anti town behavior has been a good reason for me to jump on you when I'm completely lost.

Paranoia is a good thing. We defs need a person who checks on the hosts write up and checks on who ever is dominating the discussion. But Beefys law of balance states that we also need extremely naive person... Sheep almost to balance things out. And Beefy is well suited for that job (Year of the sheep!)

So my apologies but ill have to keep my vote on you until I find a better things to jump on/ follow

[Reenk Roink]

Your anti town behavior

Injecting a bit of skepticism to prevent demagogues from taking control of the crew is not "anti-town" but whatever...

[seireikhaan]

I'm gonna say this again, guys: Woad reeks to me. There's something woefully wrong to me that he could be a Russian spy with no objective other than stopping the Americans when there's a load of gold on board. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
