StarWars: Return of the Sith [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Hi, can we lynch the known mafioso (ATPG) next?

Oh please do. That would be the finishing touch this game needs.

[Diamondeye]

Meh! I just came online and wanted to alter my orders, but TC has told me he already got his "Under attack" notice...

I hope we manage. Tincow, I know it might be too late, but please try to alter your orders to reflect this; I think Psycho is right in thinking we should not hit Subotan after all.

I'll try, probably too late though. Doesn't really matter if I die though... if the Sith strike me down, I shall become more powerful than they could possibly imagine.

Well you already know where I stand. I think Subo needs his medicine.

[Subotan]

You're right, I think all this recirculated air is messing with my respiratory system.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You're right, I think all this recirculated air is messing with my respiratory system.

Nice of you to pop by when your name is mentioned.

[TinCow]

You're right, I think all this recirculated air is messing with my respiratory system.

It's a little known fact that all Sith have asthma.

So TC managed to tell you that he received his "under attack" notice via private channels, yet you couldn't ask him to alter his orders via the same channels? You're putting on a nice show, I just wonder what kind of reaction you're looking to get from it.

[TinCow]

I just wonder what kind of reaction you're looking to get from it.

Personally, I'd like a Tony Nomination.

[Subotan]

Nice of you to pop by when your name is mentioned.

I'm always watching.

It's a little known fact that all Sith have asthma.

Why do you think they have the power Force Choke?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm fine with whoever gets lynched today. If it was Psychonaut, YLC Renata and I get the mother of all I told you so's, but I doubt that's going to happen. If it was Subotan, I was crawling up his behind well before we even wasted 3 lynches on Centurion1, and DE will tell you I argued passionately for his lynch in private. If it was pevergreen, he's the probable lynch anyway, and my apologies. If it was Diamondeye, I will be dumbfounded how that is possible. Same with the metallic cow. It it is me, then I will wear it as a badge of honor and won't stop chuckling for days.

[Renata]

Getting nervous, Niklas? Wasn't expecting you to pop up just then.

[Centurion1]

i want a most stubborn to live medal!

[Niklas]

Not nervous, just biding my time until the update comes around so I can finally laugh properly.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Not nervous, just biding my time until the update comes around so I can finally laugh properly.

Still a bit of a departure from your Centurion1 silence.

[Centurion1]

which should have been a bit of a sign no.........

[Niklas]

Still a bit of a departure from your Centurion1 silence.

Indeed, Centurion is already lynched. It's been so boring to be silent all this time!

[Askthepizzaguy]

which should have been a bit of a sign no.........

Don't look at me, I spent an hour arguing with Diamondeye about it. I agreed with you as a number two choice, but I strongly argued against it.

[Diamondeye]

Don't look at me, I spent an hour arguing with Diamondeye about it. I agreed with you as a number two choice, but I strongly argued against it.

And you must agree that we were both very reasonable in that hour of discussion, and we reached lots of smart thoughts and so on.

Also, I survived a 1-hour convo with ATPG without descending further into madness. Just give me an award already

[Askthepizzaguy]

And you must agree that we were both very reasonable in that hour of discussion, and we reached lots of smart thoughts and so on.

I gotta give you that. I felt like I was actually being listened to, not just dismissed as a block of words. You gave me the floor and let me speak my piece, and that's all I can ask.

Round 15

Day

Belth Allusis was heading towards a certain part of the quarters section. He was grim of sight and walked with a purpose. He was ready for anything.
As he rounded a corner he was met by a dark cloaked being standing in the middle of the hallway. Belth quickly erected a force protection barrier around him. It was just in time too, because the dark and cloaked being with burning amber eyes leaped from a crouching position releasing something. The walls on either side of Belth, including roof and floor were flayed like leaf before the north wind. The force was so strong that it opened the roof of the quarter’s section beneath him and Belth lost footing and fell down to the floor below. His force field took most of the impact and he got up ready for whatever came next. The cloaked being came sailing through the air and landed like a cat next to Belth. Belth could sense that this Sith was about to launch the follow up attack. But Belth was ready for it. He grabbed the being with the force and flung it down the hallway. The being was tired after the destruction up stairs and being thrown is this manner did take the rest of the strength it had.
Belth Allusis was walking over to where the cloaked and beaten being lay, when another cloaked being approached from the other side. Belth was getting tired holding the protection field up by the force. The new and fresh Sith stared at Belth with evil and hateful amber eyes. “So you bested my apprentice did you? I sense the dark side in you, but I can’t let you live.” The dark being stretched forth both hands and lightning danced forth from them. Belth’s protective barrier was nearly failing but it took the main part of the torrent of blue energy. When he couldn’t hold it up any longer, electricity danced on his body which made him scream. When the torrent finally subsided, Belth was kneeling on the floor panting. Every muscle in his body was cramping and he couldn’t utter a word. The cloaked being got nearer to Belth and leaned over and whispered with a sinister voice: “You are powerful, Jedi, but the Sith will always prevail.” And by that Belth felt his lungs being emptied and something tightening around his throat. Soon darkness came to Belth as he lost consciousness.

Streen was heading back to his cabin in a hurry. He felt as he was being stalked…Then he heard the quick footsteps in the hallway. Streen was worried now. Who would be walking here at this hour? It was only him that had taken a cabin in these parts. The footsteps came closer and he saw the green hue of what could only be a lightsabre around the hallway corner. Streen stepped back into the shadows of the hallway just before a person came striding round the corner, looking grim and with lightsabre in hand. The person obviously had expected that someone was there around the corner, because he looked up and down the hallway and seemed confused. The person grunted when he couldn’t see anyone and continued down the hallway mumbling something. When the coast was clear, Streen reentered the dim light of the hallway and wondered what that was all about.

Kyp Durron was utterly tired after a long day fixing the ship’s power grid. He really needed some rest after today’s ordeal. Along the way, he met a recognizable person who asked if it was alright that he tagged along. Kyp didn’t mind as this was a person he trusted. They walked along chatting about the ship and how to best get it up and running. When they got to Kyp’s cabin, the other person asked if he could talk with Kyp some more. Kyp agreed and the both entered the cabin. The other person suddenly turned towards Kyp abd gestured. Kyp slumped lifeless to the floor. The other person looked concerned and walked over to the now comatosed Kyp. “I am sorry friend, but I have to do this.” He crouched down and closed his eyes. The world would have spun around Kyp had he been conscious. The other person cursed that he had used his powers in the wrong order … again.
Kyp Durron woke up right before the meeting in the auditorium and couldn’t remember at all why he had fallen asleep on the floor of his cabin fully clothed.

The meeting was in session and everybody was there except Kyp Durron and Belth Allusis. Kyp Durron finally arrived looking haggard.
Qui Gon took one look at Kyp before continuing; We lost a Jedi Master last night and we need therefore to promote a new one.
I have decided to raise Nomi Sunrider to the rank of Jedi Master. She is certainly capable of such an office. Congratulations!!! A bright light appeared behind Nomi Sunrider and a personage materialised. The personage lay a hand on Nomi's shoulder and nodded in approval. The being looked like Belth Allusis and the other Jedi looked at him in awe. The personage uttered: "Find my killers, they are among you", before he vanished like he came.

Qui-Gon admonished them to start voting.


Voting ends at 23:00 GMT+1 (in 23 hours) Tuesday 11th of May

Well, GG.

[Diamondeye]

I'm pretty annoyed at the pedanticism of me ordering the interrogation and the block on the same person in the wrong order rendering the investigation useless.

Nevertheless, this clears pevergreen, as both Sith are accounted for tonight. Since I am also in the clear, two of the following must be sith; ATPG, Psychonaut and Subotan.

However; ATPG talked to me and suggested lynching Subotan, while Psychonaut asked me to try and vigilante kill either pevergreen or Subotan.
This makes Subotan unlikely to be sith, in my opinion;

I was not roleblocked tonight....
Psychonaut is the sith lord.
ATPG is his (new) apprentice.

Therefore;
vote: Psychonaut

[ULC]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...I told you didn't I? No one listens.

^ I'll save that for later.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well why on earth would Subotan be using Force Stealth I wonder.

Vote: Subotan



edit: Just learned that isn't Force Stealth, but Force Cloak.

[Choxorn]

Vote:ATPG

I don't care that I'm dead.

[TinCow]

Something has been bothering me about this game for a little while now: the lack of any attacks on Psychonaut. Psycho revealed himself as Jedi Master Obi-wan during D5. There have now been TEN night phases since that time, but Psychonaut has never once been attacked by the Sith.

At certain points, that was understandable. Mafia want to let lynchbait live, and Psycho was certainly under a lot of heat at various points in time. However, that hasn't been the case for the last couple day phases. There is no way anyone could read yesterday's lynch round and conclude that Psycho was a likely lynch. In addition, Psycho claimed to to have a Doctor power, and was known to be claiming to be protecting Diamondeye. Obviously the Sith fear DE's powers, or they would not be blocking him all the time. So, it also stands to reason that the Sith would want DE dead. The lack of attacks on DE makes sense, because we all know about Psycho protecting him. However, that should make Psycho himself a priority target for the Sith: kill Psycho to drop the defense on DE, then kill DE.

That hasn't happened. Indeed, the Sith seem to have gone out of their way to avoid him. They clearly don't like me much, but after failing to kill me the first time, they actually tried a second and a third time. Why would they go after me a second time, someone who clearly has very strong defensive powers, when there's another publicly revealed Master who had stated that he had only two defensive powers, and one had been drained? And a third attack on top of that after I was strong enough to dodge the second, when Psycho was still sitting there without any lynch pressure on him at all, with a Doctor ability, and claiming to have only Force Speed (Padawan level) as a protection? It doesn't add up.

Now, as I have mentioned before, the problem with accusations of Psychonaut are the fact that he was roleblocked on two consecutive nights: N9 and N10. Chaotix specifically told me that the GM roleblock power appears to block all actions, not a finite number, so the continued activity on the night Psycho was blocked have been strong evidence in his favor... until now.

After my failed vig attempt on ATPG, I gained a new power: Force Cloak (Jedi Master ability)


This is the role PM descriptions of that power:

By harnessing this force you feel you can do the following:
...
Use the force to deflect light around you in such a way as to completely hide you (Force Cloak) – counters most attacks and all types of investigations.

Night actions:
You can elect to do one the following:
...
Completely hide from night actions that might be targeting you (force cloak)

That appears to me to be a power that could make someone immune to a roleblock. Now, check out this PM Psycho sent to Renata much earlier in the game (first spoiler in the post). Notice that he specifically referenced Force Cloak in conjunction with Palpatine, and actually linked to the Wookiepedia page that has the exact same image that Sigurd is using for that ability in this game. How would Psychonaut know that ability was in the game that early if he didn't have it himself? That PM was also sent on April 21st, which is about N5. That's LONG before he was blocked by DE, which occurred on N9 and N10. So, if Psychonaut had that ability on N9/N10 and knew that he was going to be blocked/investigated, all he had to do was use one of his actions on Force Cloak, and then he would be free to use the rest of his actions killing, disco dancing, or whatever else it is the Sith do for fun. That would explain how Psycho was able to kill on N9 and N10, despite DE's roleblocks.

Use of Force Cloak also explains the contradictory results on Psychonaut when he was investigated. For those who do not remember, Psycho claimed to still have one defensive ability when he was blocked the second night. However, DE's scan of him showed no abilities at all, and was unusually vague about his alignment and his race. Psycho claims this is some kind of conflict that results from blocking and investigating someone on the same night, but it seems far more likely to be the result of an investigation performed on someone using Force Cloak... especially since Force Cloak specifically says it counters "all types of investigations."

Another thing to note, on N12 when I was first attacked, the write-up included this bit:

Belth was not going to stand here contending further with this Sith. He was exhausted but managed to use the last bit of strength and force. Before the cloaked person was again on the feet ready to finish the fight, Belth was gone. The cloaked person looked up and down the long hallway but couldn’t see Belth anywhere. The cloaked being cursed: “Impossible, only I am that fast.”

My disappearance was because I was using Force Speed. The final quote by the Sith indicates he has that power too. Psychonaut has stated that he has Force Speed.

This is, of course, on top of all of the other scumtastic stuff that was pointed out about Psycho during the round when I defended him.

Vote: Psychonaut

[Askthepizzaguy]

unvote, vote: Psychonaut

Our "doctor" should be dead by now. And how in the blue heck would he know about Force Cloak, which I didn't even know existed until about two seconds ago.


holy poop I must have missed something, let me read.

[TinCow]

On top of my pre-prepared case, there is other evidence as well from this write-up. Last night I targetted Psychonaut for a vig hit. Notice that there is no independent attack on Obi-wan listed. Therefore my attack on Psycho is part of my duel with the Sith, which proves Psycho is Sith.

[Diamondeye]

Allow me to rephrase the part about ATPG:

Psychonaut suggested I attacked Subotan or pever. This would indicate that they are not on his team, but Subotan was hiding tonight.

As such, the Sith master is Psychonaut.

His apprentice is either ATPG or Subotan. Not 100 % certain on ATPG, so lynch Psycho today.

If he has Breath Control I'm going to cry.
