Star Wars: Fall of the Order [Concluded]

[pevergreen]

We should do. Lots of votes so far.

Unvote, Vote: Tincow

Andres: Where you in Sigurd's Star Wars game? Its the same. The roles gain powers, which function like abilities.

[Chaotix]

Unvote, Vote: TinCow

That one's a no-brainer. If he's not Sith, we can just take care of Jeb tomorrow.

[Ignoramus]

I'd say the safe option is to go with TC, but it's quite possible Rebel Jeb is sith and scanned TC and found him to be a power Jedi role without force breath and is willing to take a risk.

Anyway, Vote: TinCow

[Ignoramus]

Oh, and Sasaki, the reason I started that petition was because I felt sorry for ATPG putting in the massive amount of effort he does simply to have a game die because of players' indifference to participating.

[Chaotix]

Oh, and Sasaki, the reason I started that petition was because I felt sorry for ATPG putting in the massive amount of effort he does simply to have a game die because of players' indifference to participating.

This coming from someone who usually shows indifference to participation (at least as far as number of posts goes).

Still, well said.

[pevergreen]

I'd say the safe option is to go with TC, but it's quite possible Rebel Jeb is sith and scanned TC and found him to be a power Jedi role without force breath and is willing to take a risk.

Maybe, but unlikely. Why would sith waste time scouting, when they could be attacking.

[dcmort93]

I'm not going to change my vote as I was asked because I know that if I do someone is going to put that up against me.
Also (not that I'm implying anything), but would I be right in assuming that most if not all jedi have a lynch immunity due to force breath, because if hypothetically if we lynch someone, perhaps me even, and it fails most people would assume that to be a god father role and not a jedi

[Askthepizzaguy]

I think we have enough to close voting, and forgive me for being presumptuous, but Tincow might have been lynched.


Tally and hopefully writeup to come. Thread closed.

[Kagemusha]

Just woke up and what do i see. Bad Sith Cow, trying to lynch poor old Kage. Unvote and Vote: Tincow. This will mean FOS for certain people also.I think you know who you are.

[Askthepizzaguy]

All you green people are mean. It will be a delight watching one of you die.

Posting in my locked thread! Like it's not even locked! How disrespectful.

[Kagemusha]

Oh sorry. I guess i was still bit on the sleepy side of things. I will try and prevent myself from doing such things in the future.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Round has ended, standby for results. Posting is now closed; send in your night actions and preferences to me NOW.

Nomi Sunrider gathered everyone together, back at the hangar bay.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Nomi asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and the voting was surprisingly enthusiastic and near-unanimous. One Jedi even claimed that they knew who one of the Sith were, for a fact.

"I sense the Dark Side in that one, your grace! He's the Sith we've been looking for!" The Jedi shouted.

"Are you certain?" asked Nomi Sunrider.

"Yes, I know it is him, the Dark Side is there, I have felt it."

"Strange that I have not. But perhaps this training is making me lose my sight. Bring the Sith Lord before me. Who is it?"

"Lo'son Galeb, your grace!"

The other Jedi ignited their lightsabers in a show of force, and formed a circle around Lo'son.

"Allow him to speak!" commanded Nomi Sunrider.



Lo'son Galeb: "What are you talking about, fool? I am no Sith Lord. Your senses must not be very attuned at all!"

Nomi Sunrider: "You have been charged by your peers of conspiring to commit murder, sabotaging the ship, conspiring to disrupt the Coruscant communications network, conspiring to invade Coruscant, and several counts of murder in the first degree. How do you answer those charges?"

Lo'son Galeb: "I respond by pointing out how ridiculously wrong they all are. Not even close, not by a long shot. I don't even have a lightsaber!"

Nomi Sunrider: "That doesn't really mean anything. You could have left them in your quarters, or hidden them."

Lo'son Galeb: "Search my quarters then! What madness is this??? You have some problem with surveillance and random searches, but no problem outright killing a suspected Sith Lord? Without so much as a real and fair trial, evidence, or things of that nature. This is preposterous, the height of stupidity."

Nomi Sunrider noted the flash of anger in the young Jedi.

Nomi Sunrider: "You're very angry, young Galeb. Anger is a path to the Dark Side."

Lo'son Galeb: "Your grace, anger is perfectly natural and every Jedi here has experienced it before. This is turning into a.... a.... a wild Rancor hunt. Am I to be burned at the stake, next?"

Nomi Sunrider: "You didn't have a problem with these proceedings before now..."

Lo'son Galeb: "It's quite a different story when your life is on the line. You didn't give us much of a choice either, your grace."

Nomi Sunrider: "Your anger is directed at me, I can feel it. Do you bear malice toward the other Jedi as well?"

Lo'son Galeb: "Well I sure feel some now. Come and fight me, you cowards! I challenge you! I will prove that I am a Jedi!"

Nomi Sunrider: "That's not how we do things here. You're to be cast into space, the non-violent way."

Lo'son Galeb: *spits on the floor* "I am not a child. I may be a Jedi, but I am also a man. I demand to go out fighting, your grace!"

Nomi Sunrider: "Are you threatening us, young one?"

Lo'son Galeb: "No.... no, not even now, when you all want me to die. I'm not saying I wish to murder anyone. I just.... want to hold a lightsaber one more time. I want to die on my feet, in battle. Not even the teachings of the Jedi have purged from me that desire. It is common among my people."

Nomi Sunrider: "Frankly, young one, I am worried you are a Sith Lord and this is just your way of trying to murder one of us before you expire."

Lo'son Galeb: "Is there nothing you can do to grant my final request, miss Sunrider?"



Lo'son looked at Nomi Sunrider with the eyes of a beaten, saddened man. She could feel the anger in him subside, and the sadness begin to well. And she felt a touch of fear as well.


Nomi Sunrider: You will follow me into the hangar bay, and follow my instructions exactly. Understood?


Lo'son nodded. Nomi Sunrider motioned for one of the other Masters to toss her a lightsaber.

Lightsaber Battle: Tincow versus Askthepizzaguy

Nomi stood in the center of the hangar bay, and tossed Lo'son a blue lightsaber. Galeb wasted no time igniting the weapon, and prepared to defend himself.


Nomi Sunrider: "I will not kill you, Lo'son. But I will give you the battle you desire, as your final request. If any Jedi is to risk her life, it should be mine. Now, Master Galeb, attack me."


Galeb bowed gracefully and moved toward Nomi Sunrider, the sadness gone from his eyes. Instead of sadness, there was anger. He swung the blade ferociously, and Nomi gracefully deflected his blows, as expected. Still, the young Jedi pressed on.


Lo'son Galeb: "I am not a Sith Lord, Sunrider. You have been deceived by a lie.... they all were. You would cast me aside based on the word of that other pathetic life form? I looked up to you... saw you as some kind of leader!"


Galeb's swings became stronger, and more determined. He continued.


Lo'son Galeb: "But you are no leader! You cannot protect us! You cannot even sense the Sith right in front of your own eyes! You are the weakest Grandmaster of the Order I have ever seen! If Yoda were here, the Sith would be expired already."


Nomi could feel his rage building. Still she kept her defenses strong, deflecting all of the blows with ease. Lo'son reached out with the force, and began to move faster, and with more agility. His muscles became reinforced, stronger. His eyes had a look of profound passion on them.



Lo'son Galeb: "You should have trained them better.... you should have trained me more.... was I not worthy, in your eyes, your grace? That you would not even grant me a lightsaber? I could have been the greatest Jedi Knight in the galaxy! I could have personally defeated all the Sith! I could have been a thousand times the Grandmaster of the Order you turned out to be!"


Nomi deflected all of Lo'son's attacks without breaking a sweat or changing facial expressions. The young Jedi was beyond outmatched by the Grandmaster.


Lo'son Galeb: "Perhaps your refusal to simply attack me is your weakness. You won't kill me. I don't need to bother defending myself, I could simply walk toward you and strike you down!"


Suddenly, Lo'son challenged his fear, and charged toward Nomi, his lightsaber raised high above his head, angled down for a deadly strike. The move took the Grandmaster by surprise, and he nearly got past her defenses, but at the last moment, she used the force and augmented her speed, and sidestepped the blow just in time. Furious at this trick, Lo'son attacked her again, this time vocalizing loudly each blow. He tried to wear her down, simply overpower her, but the Grandmaster continued to fight. For a time, it looked as though Lo'son was actually succeeding, the Grandmaster's movements became weaker. She was not as young as she used to be, and she was stubbornly refusing to finish off Galeb with an attack. The prolonged battle was one she was not accustomed to. Lo'son tried another move, and attempted to Force Push her to the ground, and deliver the killing blow, but he was not powerful enough.

Nomi raised her hands and Pushed Galeb back, knocking him to the deck plating. Still undeterred, Galeb rose and charged at Nomi, lightsaber raised, in a Quixotic charge that even he knew was not going to defeat Nomi Sunrider. But he charged like a warrior.

Nomi met him head-on, clashed sabers with Galeb, and quickly disarmed the young Jedi, slicing off his hand, and Pushing him to the deck once more, defeated.


Nomi Sunrider: "That's enough, Galeb. If you are a Sith, you're holding back. I've had enough of this."



Nomi turned and walked to the starboard corridor, switching off her lightsaber and leaving Lo'son behind. She was displeased by the turn of events.


Galeb, on the other hand, saw his chance. Nomi had disarmed herself, and left him lying next to a perfectly good lightsaber. He took it in his other hand, and charged toward Nomi.


Nomi sensed this from the young Jedi, and turned around; reaching out with the Force, she switched off the Hangar Bay Containment Field. The bay decompressed in a matter of seconds, blowing Lo'son and the blue lightsaber out into space. Nomi herself shielded herself with a bubble of the Force, and held on to the airlock door panel so she would not get blown out as well. When the bay was fully decompressed, she switched the containment field on and entered the airlock, disappointed at herself for her failure. She actually suggested that the young man attack her.... that was her failure as well.


Lo'son may have lacked the Jedi discipline that comes with training, and purging one's thoughts of the Dark Side, but he was no Sith. He was simply a man. And he died a man's death.

Night Phase continues. Get your orders in quickly, if you would please.

You have roughly 46 hours remaining.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I apologize for failing to send out role PM updates today. It slipped my mind; you have all the relevant information, just not the pretty pictures.

I'll include them in your next update.

Poll open: Night discussion or no. The poll is single-choice, and no one knows who voted for what.

Discussion is not open. Just the poll. DO NOT POST.


Poll is currently a dead even tie, with 32 people voting, well over half the living players. This tells you that enough people need the break in the action so they can catch up that it's not only not negligible, but also could seriously negatively impact the game if I were to allow nighttime discussion. Until the game gets a bit smaller in size, there will likely be no nighttime discussion. Old and new players alike are appreciating the break. Anyway, even if the tally were to swing wildly in favor of nighttime discussion, it's still a large enough minority to warrant considering leaving the nighttime break for.

Later on, it will be much more likely I have all night actions in during the first 24 hours of night phase, and I'll begin a new day early. That should give you the extra time during the day to discuss and also give some busy folks more time to vote, while maintaining a quicker pace for the game. That should really be the sweet spot for this set-up.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I have all orders, just need to confirm one last thing with someone, then the writeup will begin early and you will have almost a full extra half day for this next day phase.

Thank you for being prompt. If you are waiting up to see what the writeup says, it will be written in roughly an hour or less (I hope) so stay tuned.

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Friday, November 5th, Eastern Time USA

That night, Nomi Sunrider ordered the Jedi to cover the Engines, Structural Integrity Field Generators, and the Turbolifts. Everyone was split up into Alpha and Beta shifts, and they went their separate ways. Some went to sleep, some trained with Nomi Sunrider, and some began their watches. It was all very orderly and predictable.

_____________

In the residential section of the Star Destroyer, Ushan Nihlek returned to his quarters. After witnessing the death of Galeb, he had much on his mind. Not surprisingly at all, someone was there waiting for him. They ignited a purple lightsaber.

Cloaked Figure: Going somewhere?

Ushan Nihlek: What do you want?

The cloaked figure sneered.

Cloaked Figure: Oh, I just want to talk. Isn't that why we carry these lightsabers? To talk things out?

Ushan Nihlek: Forgive me, but I do not understand your sense of humor. Now if you'll excuse me...

Cloaked Figure: Oh I don't think so. You're not going anywhere!

Ushan Nihlek: I disagree.


With that, Ushan Nihlek rasied a hand, and the Cloaked Figure lifted up off the ground, caught in the grip of a Force hold of some kind. The cloaked figure struggled, but could not break free. He watched helplessly as Ushan walked calmly down the corridor and out of sight.

______________________

Azurine Kadu began her duties guarding one of the many structural integrity field generators, in the lower decks, near the Engineering section, but closer to the Outer Hull.

Not even a half of an hour into her shift, she was approached by a cloaked figure.


Azurine Kadu: You.... what are you doing here again?

Dark Figure: Isn't it obvious?


The cloaked figure ignited his lightsaber, which burned crimson red.

Azurine immediately turned to flee, but the blast doors behind her were closed by an unseen force. She turned back and saw that the only escape route was behind the one who was threatening her. She turned to her training, and reached out with the Force and let it trickle through her body. With a burst of speed, she attempted to run past her attacker and avoid the lightsaber at the same time.

The dark figure reached out with the Force, and a field of Dark Energy enveloped Azurine. Her connection to the Force was canceled, and she felt weak. She stumbled as she tried to run past the cloaked figure, who flashed an evil grin. After the cloaked figure stood in a standard Djem So stance, he swung his lightsaber and cut down the afflicted Jedi.

Azurine screamed in pain, and fell to the ground, lifeless.

Main Turbolift Shaft- Observation Platform

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You can watch this movie, or you can play the music below and skip to the real action.

Jacin Sky stood watch over the main Turbolift Shaft. After the attack the night prior which destroyed one of the Turbolifts, it was vitally important that the main transport shaft of the Star Destroyer remained undamaged. From the Observation Platform at the top of the shaft, Sky could see and sense anything that would happen. Before his watch was over, too early to be his relief, his control panel alerted him that someone had entered the Main Turbolift and was heading for the Observation Platform.

Jacin could not forget how his senses failed him yesterday, and immediately took cover, in the shadows. He used his knowledge of the Force to conceal his presence as best he possibly could, and waited.


The Turbolift came to a halt, and the doors opened. A cloaked figure stepped out onto the Observation Platform and looked around, as if searching for someone in particular. The sound of mechanical breathing permeated the deck, and Jacin heard the unmistakable sound of a lightsaber being ignited. The sight of the cloaked figure was absolutely chilling.


The figure calmly walked from one side of the Platform to the other, not giving up on his search so easily.









Unknown: "You cannot hide forever, Sky... Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your friends."


Jacin Sky: ........


Unknown: "Your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for..... Sunrider...."


Jacin Sky: ........


Unknown: "So... you have feelings for Miss Sunrider. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Now your failure is complete."


Jacin Sky: ........


Unknown: "If you will not give yourself to the Dark Side, then perhaps she will. But Sunrider is weak... killing her will satisfy me in ways you could only begin to comprehend. Even if I cannot find you, I will find her. It is unavoidable.... it is our destiny. Even she knows this by now. She will die by my hands.... and you will be forced to watch."


Jacin Sky: "Never!"



The cloaked figure looked, and heard where the sound was coming from. Immediately, the Dark One switched off his lightsaber and reached out with the Force and tried to crush the elusive Jacin Sky with all of his hatred. A console exploded, and the walls were warped, and the security railing was crushed by the power of the Dark Side. Jacin Sky was able to re-direct the Dark One's thoughts away from him, and he moved quickly out of the path of danger.


Unknown: "Impressive."


Again, the Dark Figure tried to crush Master Sky, and several structural support beams were twisted and destroyed by his power. Some of the overhead support structure collapsed onto the deck, and sparks flew everywhere. But Sky managed to elude him again.


Unknown: "Most Impressive. That power comes from the Dark Side of the Force. Perhaps you would make a powerful ally.... if you would only give yourself to me."


Jacin Sky: "I'll never join you!"


For a third time, the Dark Figure reached out with the Force, and sent a powerful wave of Dark Side power in the direction of Jacin's voice. The superstructure of the Star Destroyer shuddered, as the entire deck above the Observation Platform bent downwards. Power relays blew out, and the entire deck went dark. Gasses began leaking from life support systems and air pressurizers. At this rate, the Dark One could destroy the entire ship within a matter of hours. The Dark Figure cackled with triumphant laughter.


Unknown: "If you will not be turned... THEN YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!!!"


The Dark One lifted a hand and unleashed Force Lightning into the darkness of the Observation Deck. The brilliant lightning cut through the darkness, and revealed that Jacin Sky was not standing there. He reached out with his other hand, and fired in the opposite direction, channeling dark side energy and casting it blindly at his target. Again, there was no one to be found. But the Dark One continued firing, and several more arcs of lightning began to chain off of the deck plating, the support structure, and even the ceiling itself. The energy blew out power converters and magnetized the deck itself. All the computers in the area overloaded and exploded. There was nowhere for Jacin Sky to hide. In the darkness, the Jedi Master stood, and one of the beams of Chain Lightning ripped through his body, and he bore the full brunt of the blast. He reached out with the Force and shielded himself from the pain, and gritted his teeth. Another blast hit him, but still he kept his place in the dark....


Unknown: "I sense great fear in you, Jacin Sky..... I can feel your anger. I can feel your pain.... I know you're here. Show yourself. Do not tremble in the dark. Come and FACE ME!!! COME, AND MEET YOUR DESTINY!!!"


Jacin Sky ignited his green lightsaber, and attempted to ward off some of the dark side energy that was hitting his body.... his skin was being burned, as was his clothing. He needed to keep the arcs of electricity off of him. The sound of the saber being ignited alerted the Dark One to his presence, and he focused both of his beams of Chain Lightning at Jacin Sky, from where he was standing behind one of the support beams. The power of the Dark Side ripped through Sky's body, and as powerful as he was, he could not prevent himself from being damaged by the Chain Lightning. He staggered forward, near death, saber blade burning brightly, with a grim look of determination on his face.


Jacin Sky: "This isn't over... if you strike me down I will only become more powerful."


The Dark One simply laughed and began firing Chain Lightning at the Jedi Master. While Sky was able to deflect most of it with his blade, a torrent of lightning hit him from the side, as it ricocheted off of the support structure. There was no escape. Jacin Sky advanced through the lightning, fighting through the pain, to attack the Dark One. But it was too much, and he dropped to one knee. The Dark One cackled again at the sight of this.


Unknown: "Only now, at the end, do you understand. Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the dark side."


The Chain Lightning continued, and Sky began to scream in pain. He clutched the lightsaber in his hands, fighting onward, trying desperately to reach the Dark One. He stopped just a few meters short of his target, and finally collapsed, feigning defeat. The Chain Lightning stopped.


Unknown: "And now, Master Jacin Sky.... you will die."


Jacin rose quickly, and prepared to strike the Dark One down, and at the last moment, the Dark One raised his hands and fired again, blowing the lightsaber out of Jacin's hands, the dark side energy pulsating completely through his defenseless body. The Jedi staggered forward, as the Dark One moved out of his path, and he fell against the security railing, at the edge of the Observation platform.


Unknown: "Nomi Sunrider will be the next to fall...."


The Dark One continued firing, pushing Jacin's mortally wounded body over the edge of the railing, and he fell 50 decks to the bottom of the transport shaft to his death. His eyes burned with triumph, as he watched the Jedi's death.



Unknown: "And your Jedi Order will soon follow."

______________________





Nomi Sunrider - Grandmaster of the Jedi Order

Nomi Sunrider called the next meeting of the Jedi Council to order, and recounted the events of the previous night, as recorded in the Security Holograms.


"We lost a great friend and mentor last night, as well as another beloved member of our family, cut down before her prime." began Sunrider.


"I would like to speak more about these honored dead, but we must remain focused. There are still Sith out there and we must bring them to justice. The vision happened again, and it was very clear. I don't wish to say what I learned. My time is short, and I must prepare myself for tonight's proceedings. I am sorry I cannot say any more at this time. But despair not, for many of our young disciples will soon be promoted to full Jedi. We could use the help.

Look on today with a fresh perspective, and let go of the failures of the past. Dwelling on failure focuses the mind on negativity, and that is a path to the Dark Side. Stay strong, and may the Force be with us all."

Thread re-opened early. Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Friday, November 5th, Eastern Time USA


Role PM updates being sent out now.

[TinCow]

As is obvious now, I was not a Sith. Rebel Jeb's claim that I was Sith was blatantly wrong, which raises serious doubts about his role. However, I think I am in a unique position to comment on this situation, so I'm going to spend a bit of time explaining how I see things and why.

First off, lynching me yesterday was the right thing to do. When someone reveals as a detective and claims a guilty result, that result must be acted on. In addition, Sasaki is correct that I was probing for information about a connection between him and Rebel Jeb earlier in the game. I did that because I was bored with no powers of any significance and saw an opportunity to potentially get involved in something more entertaining. Looking through the filter of a guilty result on me, my behavior there was correctly interpreted as scummy. As a result, the evidence against me was overwhelming, and all townies should have supported my lynch fully. Thus, and here is the key point, the only people who would have known that I was going to show up as innocent yesterday were (1) me and (2) the Sith. Thus, if we re-read yesterday's voting after the results on me were posted, anyone who showed doubts about lynching me, or hedged their bets in any serious manner, earns a strong FoS. While I was observing the thread yesterday, there were a few posts that struck me as scummy for these reasons.

YLC, in this post, expressed a bit too much of a desire to see Rebel Jeb dead no matter what. It's one thing to acknowledge the 'if your results are wrong you die' nature of a detective reveal, it's quite another to express a desire to see the detective claimer die even if he's right. YLC then followed up with this post, in which he actively advocated that I be spared and role-blocked. Given the nature of the evidence against me, that was insane. That seemed to me to be an attempt to keep me alive to draw lots of votes in future rounds, and to tie up power roles as well. I do not think that was a pro-town suggestion at all.

Ignoramus, in this post, is already working on the case to lynch Rebel Jeb. Again, I do not think townies would have actively started working on a case against Rebel Jeb during yesterday's vote. The Sith, on the other hand, knew that I was going to show up innocent, and would have known that Rebel Jeb's neck was going to be on the block next. If Rebel Jeb is not a Sith (see below), then their minds were already working on a way to turn this situation into one where they would get two free lynches without risk to themselves, AND kill off someone with a detective power (albeit a bad one). With this post, Ignoramus seems to be a step ahead of the rest of the town, which is exactly where the Sith would have been at that moment. Combine this post with Ignoramus' clear desire to keep the game going (yes, it's metagaming, but he's the one who did it and that cannot be ignored) and he becomes a top suspect.

Now, on to Rebel Jeb. This situation troubles me, because this was a very, very blatant reveal by Rebel Jeb. If he knew it was a false result, it was a suicidal gesture. I was just a Jedi Initiate and there's no way any Sith would have thought it was worth the trade-off to exchange his own life for mine. It just doesn't make sense. Rebel Jeb didn't even hedge his bets with statements indicating that his results might be wrong, or perhaps not 100% accurate, which is what I would have expected from a Sith faking a result. No, Rebel Jeb seemed to honestly believe that I was Sith. Now, I don't know his play style and perhaps he's a master player able to fake a situation like this, but I think that such a move is so risky that it's not likely to be the case. More likely, Rebel Jeb really did get the result he claims he got, but either his investigative power is heavily flawed, or a third party's actions screwed up his results in some way.

The point of this post is to encourage you all to look beyond the knee-jerk reaction of lynching Rebel Jeb immediately. He certainly needs to be disposed of, just to be sure (no one will ever trust any investigation results he produces anymore anyway), but I think it might be better to do that a bit later in the game, or via a vigilante kill. Instead, I would like to see some votes on YLC and Ignoramus, due to their behavior during yesterday's lynch vote. I think that those two are more likely to be Sith than Rebel Jeb.

FoS: YLC, Ignoramus

If I were still alive, today I would vote for YLC.

[Beskar]

I would like to say, it was a bad choice to kill TinCow, like I said it was. dcmort was the better choice.

Since there are common-enemies, you should listen to me. I am not out to kill Jedi but being honest, I don't care too much if you don't listen to me and kill yourselves.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

How pleasant I'm still alive (knock on wood).

[Beskar]

the only people who would have known that I was going to show up as innocent yesterday were (1) me and (2) the Sith.

That's not completely true, since there are a few unknown evil roles in the game, which are enemies of the Jedi and the Sith. You could have been one of those.

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Pfftt, I suppose it was certain that once they'd failed to kill me once, they'd try again just to see how (un)important I was.

What did I do to warrant being attacked on night four anyway?

EDIT: Nothing really, I missed my vote and FoS'd Rebel Jeb. It's equally likely that somebody's trying to set poor old Jeb up though.

EDITEDIT: I also FoS'd Ignoramus in his "don't close down SW mafia" thread. I'd vote him if I was still alive.

[TinCow]

That's not completely true, since there are a few unknown evil roles in the game, which are enemies of the Jedi and the Sith. You could have been one of those.

Wrong, because Rebel Jeb specifically said I was Sith, not a third party role.

[Seon]

There is a possibility that there are certain members of the Jedi faction who has close ties with the dark side of the force. TinCow, for example, was shown as being aggressive, Sith characteristic, and Master Jacin Sky was shown as using dark side of the force.

[Renata]

That's not completely true, since there are a few unknown evil roles in the game, which are enemies of the Jedi and the Sith. You could have been one of those.

Except that Rebel Jeb called out TinCow specifically as Sith, not as general non-town. If Rebel Jeb is himself Sith, he (and they) would have no real reason to suspect TinCow was one of the very few nasty roles hidden among the masses of non-Sith innocents. If Rebel Jeb isn't Sith, then either he's just plain wrong (again no reason to suspect TinCow isn't a townie) or he's lying (ditto). In other words -- I don't think so, Beskar. I agree completely with TinCow's suggestion on where to look for Sith, even sent a couple of PMs to that effect last night. I'm not sure I agree on his particular choices as being the best ones; I need to look it over again first.

As for Rebel Jeb, I'm surprised he wsan't attacked by any townies last night. But I'm more than happy to make today a little less of a foregone conclusion. Hence I'll make TinCow's vote for him to kick it off:

vote: YLC

[Askthepizzaguy]

ANNOUNCEMENT:


There have been promotions in Rank. There is a new Jedi Knight and a new Jedi Master.
Promotions to Padawan are not announced.

Jedi Master- Ronen Durdon
Jedi Knight- Bip Kenner



Announcement added to the writeup.

[Seon]

Vote: Ignoramus.

Rebel Jeb doesn't strike me particularly guilty yet. Therefore, Tincow's logic is sound.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I agree with TinCow completely.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a "vague results" detective type game, or if there were other roles involved.

Ignoramus and YLC should go.

[Andres]

Vote : Ignoramus

What TinCow said + your plea to ATPG not to abandon his game.

Sorry, friend, but you have a tendency to get WoG'ed in these games. In your case, being active means there's something off.

Also, it has happened before that a role with investigative powers misinterpreted his investigation results, so I'd like to hear more from Rebel Jeb before voting him. After all, it wouldn't make sense for a Sith to expose himself so early in the game by claiming a pro-town role.

I'm more thinking along the lines of innocent+wrong interpretation of a dubious investigation result.

[pevergreen]

times 100.

I will get vengence on whoever killed me.
I don't know if I will get night results. But everyone I can trust knows that I can trust them.

I am incredibly angry. I knew this was coming, I just thought I had another night of safety.

ATPG I will want to talk to you about mechanics for that.

[Rebel Jeb]

I apologize for the lynch...

But I'll have to Vote: Ignoramus.

I am incredibly angry. I knew this was coming, I just thought I had another night of safety.

Yeah, the exact opposite of me. :P

[pevergreen]

Yeah, and I'm baffled by your actions yesterday. I'm sure another player can say why (i'm erring on the side of not revealing anything, yet at least)

Its so rare for me to get an actual role... I harbor grudges against those that take it away from me.
