Star Wars: Fall of the Order [Concluded]

[Beefy187]

That's scummy. All Ignoramus has been doing is posting.

The case we had on him was the fact he was posting at all (usually inactive) and a misinterpreted investigation. Then we lynched him, and he was even attacked and didn't reveal himself to be Sith.

I'd say while it's possible, the chances Ignoramus is Sith are not high.

And you want to lynch him because he's a "distraction", Beefy? FoS: Beefy

Its not about how scummy Ignoramus is.
Its the fact that, hes been on the lynch list every single day phase, giving excuse to some players to say nothing but "vote Ignoramus"
I'm not feeling too much for Igno lynched either, but if getting him lynched makes some players to do a little more, then I'm all for that.

Personally I still want you lynched

[God Emperor]

Well I believe the end of the day is closing in on us.

Vote: Diana

I don't like how active she tries to appear, when comparing her activity in the zelda game. Jeb, one of our scanners wanted us to take a closer look at her, and last, I don't like how she accepts Andres theory without even questioning it. ( I asked Andres about where his information came from, in my previous post, but I guess I can't wait for the reply)

I don't understand why you guys want to lynch Joooray. It doesn't add up. First he was about to be lynched, but he wasn't because people accepted that a sith wouldn't expose himself in such a crazy manner as Joooray did. This was accepted, and that is why he wasn't lynched. I suppose that still remains valid today, because now he is going to be lynched because he did a kill on an inactive townie to prove he wasn't sith? I might have missed some, as I only skimmed some of ATPG's posts about lightsabers, But we know what kind of lightsaber Joooray uses? I suggest that we take advantage of being in contact with a night killer.. and that Joooray should be in contact with pevergreen about who Joooray should vigilante kill (when he needs to perform such a cruel act ! ) . It would be foolish to publicly claim who he should kill ofc.

This may ofc change if I knew where Andres got his ideas from. . To me they seemed to come out of nowhere.

Less than 5 hours remain. Let me know if you see any errors.

[Joooray]

So, Joooray having gone on a killing spree, makes him a problem, since he can be converted by the Sith now (assuming he isn't Sith already)? And he's a Jedi Master, not a low Initiate?

I was not aware a mechanism like this could be included in this game, but have not experienced any effects in that matter. But I do agree that this is something that should be considered in the future. As I said, I will refrain from killing from this point on, and the suggested effect vig kills might have, strengthens me in that decision.

As mentioned before, I also found wideeye's post rather curious and so I'll follow this and Vote: Wideyedwanderer.

[Ignoramus]

Vote: Jooray

I'm not convinced Jooray is guilty, but as the vote count stands I have little choice. If Wideyedwanderer gets enough votes then I will gladly change my vote to him.

[Askthepizzaguy]

A duel?

[dcmort93]

GO FOR IT!!!!!

[Beskar]

Draw them for a duel. It might be disadvantageous for me, but I would love to read Pizza's write-up.

[pevergreen]

I like where this tie is headed. Keeping my vote in reserve to try and keep the tie.

[Choxorn]

Hm... a duel? Maybe. I'd prefer just sending Ignoramus out an airlock, though.

[Ignoramus]

Hm... a duel? Maybe. I'd prefer just sending Ignoramus out an airlock, though.

My form so far hasn't been that great, so perhaps you'll get your wish(only difference being me in pieces).

[Chaotix]

A duel... this could be anybody's game.

Both are Masters. Neither will use Alter Damage. Joooray does not have access to his Force Lightning, since it is an active ability, not a defense- unless I am mistaken on the structure of duels.

This is not an entirely bad idea. Either way, though, we are losing a Jedi Master. I hope it's the fallen one that goes.

[Cecil XIX]

vote: wideyedwanderer. Between the three, he has the worst defense.

[wideyedwanderer]

Again I'd request a vote count.

Also,

unvote, vote: Wideyedwanderer

I'm not really feeling it on Ignoramus anymore -- if that last post of his was fake, it hit me right in my soft spot. Joooray, I still could be persuaded. There *are* arguments there, and I'm not sure to what extent my knee-jerk defense of the righteousness of vigilantes might be blinding me. It's not enough for me to vote him today, though.

Nightbringer had a very good observation about WEW, that, after apparently ignoring the game completely for a week or more, he turned up not an hour after someone finally voted him, with a comment that indicated he had been paying at least some attention to what was going on (or wanted to appear as if he were doing so). That's scummy. At least as much so, IMO, as killing WOG-bait for possibly dubious reasons.

After WEW, I am also suspicious of Blackadder (that vote rationale was so obviously fake) and Diana Abnoba ahead of Joooray.

Your reasoning here is poor. If I were mafia I'd have been stupid to have ignored the game for so long before turning up out of nowhere. I was unaware that the game began, so I missed the first 2 days. Then, I had an unfortunate habit of missing the day phases, and was unable to post during the night since posting was locked. I have been focusing more on TWC, so I haven't been checking .org too much. I showed up after ATPG posted the most recent writeup, but I didn't know what was going on, hence the reason why I didn't vote immediately. You must be running low on targets right now, Renata, since you usually have stronger reasons for going after someone.

I was not aware a mechanism like this could be included in this game, but have not experienced any effects in that matter. But I do agree that this is something that should be considered in the future. As I said, I will refrain from killing from this point on, and the suggested effect vig kills might have, strengthens me in that decision.

As mentioned before, I also found wideeye's post rather curious and so I'll follow this and Vote: Wideyedwanderer.

You "found it curious" because I voted for you. This is blatantly an OMGUS vote.

vote: wideyedwanderer. Between the three, he has the worst defense.

I'm not sure what you mean by defense? If you're talking about jedi skills, I would surely lose any battle.

You guys can lynch me if you want. It'll make it easier for me, and I can go back to my hideaway at twc. You'll be lynching a somewhat-unuseful padawan, but at least one of your "scummy candidates" will be off the list.

I'll let you know right now, though, that you'll have to lynch me twice, since I do have that ability that lets me escape one lynch. So if you really want to get rid of me you should save your votes and just vig me.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sol Jade noted that time had expired, and asked for a vote.

"Have we reached a verdict?" Jade asked.

The Jedi took a vote, and it turned out that they were undecided, having narrowed it down to two potential candidates. The Jedi were pretty sure that at least one of the two had to be a Sith, as the two candidates together had managed to grab half of all possible votes.

"No we have not, Grandmaster." said Ronen Durdon.

"Who are the leading candidates?" Jade asked.

"Myself, and Master An-Wan Dyas."

"Very well. Let the accused have a chance to defend themselves." Sol Jade said.

Ronen Durdon: "As you can clearly see from the security holograms, I was busy hunting down the Sith last night. It could not possibly have been me. I can prove I am not a Sith! I resent the fact that I am even being accused..."

An-Wan Dyas: "As you can clearly see from the security holograms, I was defeated in lightsaber combat on the eighth night by my attacker. I could have been killed, and yet, I did not show myself to be a Sith. I had no red lightsaber, and I also did not try to kill the one who defeated me! There's no way that I am a Sith. I do not understand why I am even being accused..."

Ronen Durdon: "The evidence proving my innocence is much stronger. I will not allow myself to be destroyed foolishly. This is pointless!"

An-Wan Dyas: "Your evidence doesn't prove that you're innocent, it proves that YOU killed a Jedi! We should go with what we know, which is that you are a killer among us. I'll defeat you in combat and prove that you're a Sith!"

Ronen Durdon: "I am no Sith, and I do not believe that you are either. This decision to force us into a duel is a mistake. I'm not going to accuse you out of spite, Dyas."

An-Wan Dyas: "You can't play innocent with me, you've already admitted to your crimes. Now face me in battle!"

Ronen Durdon: "For the last time, I was trying to remove the Sith myself, nothing different from what you're about to try to do, An-Wan. Moreover, it's nothing different from what we all have done every single day, which is to try, and fail, to remove a Sith from our midst using what is essentially vigilante justice. You all are accusing me of doing what each and every one of you has done, and it makes no sense! We are beings of reason, conscience, and righteousness.... I cannot believe that you would all allow this hunt to cloud your judgment so. Judge me as evil at your own peril, for I have done nothing different from what you have done yourself."

Sol Jade: "Enough! You've both been judged as suspicious by the Council. You are to face each other in battle to determine which of you dies. May the Force forgive us."

Lightsaber Battle: Ignoramus versus Joooray

Ronen Durdon entered the hangar bay from one side, and An-Wan Dyas entered from the other. The two combatants bowed to each other, and nodded in the direction of Sol Jade. Ronen Durdon knelt down and began to meditate, while An-Wan Dyas ignited her blue lightsaber and stood in a standard Makashi-style form. She stood at the ready, and began channeling the Force through her body in preparation for the battle.

Suddenly, Ronen Durdon stood up, his meditation complete, his mind focused. He ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood in a classic Soresu-style pose, and prepared to defend himself. An-Wan Dyas shielded herself with a bubble of the Force, which could easily deflect any possible projectiles. The two combatants advanced on one another.

Their sabers clashed, and they met each other blow for blow. An-Wan's movements were in the style of a true fencing master, with precise, accurate strikes, timely parries, and forceful, flowing slashes. Ronen's movements were short and less flowing, keeping a tight defense around his body, not allowing anything to get through. He was indeed powerful and strong, and he was undeterred by An-Wan's graceful attacks.

An-Wan stepped up her game, and continued with the Makashi style, utilizing her advanced training to press onward. Ronen, too, reached deep into his most advanced training to deflect all of her attacks. They both gained and gave ground, demonstrating nearly equal mastery of the saber. Ronen, however, seemed to have a slight edge, as he was able to control the course of battle masterfully. Soon it was An-Wan herself who was on the defensive, and began to give ground.

Ronen pressed the attack, and unleashed a powerful burst of Light in an attempt to weaken An-Wan. This tactic did not even faze An-Wan Dyas, and she used the moment of failure to reach deep into the Force herself, unleashing a greater connection. Her speed doubled, and then tripled, and her movements became nearly impossible to see with the naked eye.

Ronen was forced backwards, deflecting all of the powerful, blinding slashes with his short, quick movements. His deep concentration allowed him to keep up with Dyas, who seemed to be glowing with power, her blue blade shimmering. He was powerful enough to hold back the stronger, faster Dyas, by expending as little energy as possible on unnecessary movements. The two combatants fought with incredible valor, neither relenting, neither weakening.

Dyas reached even deeper into the Force, and reached down to the last of her training, and began to deliver acrobatic, graceful strikes from unexpected angles, demonstrating great innovation and creativity, trying to break down Ronen's defenses. She used the Makashi style in a less linear manner than she had been trained to do, and began to sidestep, roll, and jump to get around Soresu's tight frontal defense. Ronen had not seen such moves demonstrated with Makashi before, and was also forced to improvise.

Reaching as deeply into the Force as he could, he unleashed a blast of power; a wave of the force that sent An-Wan Dyas flying across the hangar bay. She landed against the far wall, where she had already turned around and braced herself, and used her powerful leg muscles to springboard off of the surface and land on the deck plating below, unharmed.

Ronen Durdon tried the move again, and reached deep into the Force, unleashing another wave which threw An-Wan across the hangar bay at the opposite wall, where she struck hard and was knocked to the floor, where she rolled to her feet, undeterred. He tried again, knocking An-Wan against the ceiling, and back against the floor, and back against the ceiling, trying to knock his opponent out. An-Wan simply reached deeper into the Force and strengthened her protective shield, which caused her to bounce harmlessly off of both surfaces.

Frustrated, Ronen Durdon released Dyas from his hold, and charged toward An-Wan, determined to strike her down. He unleashed a torrent of powerful Soresu strikes, quick and deliberate, trying to break her. But An-Wan's speed and strength caused her to be able to deflect all of these attacks. Ronen continued to advance, pounding An-Wan with a flurry of precise strikes, as An-Wan parried them. She was backed into the wall, which she propelled herself off of and over the head of Durdon, as he tried to cut her down in midair. She gracefully deflected the swing, and landed on her feet, and tried to break Ronen's defenses again. Her counterattack was enough that Durdon also had to become creative with his movements, and roll out of danger, leap to avoid a downward cut, and lean back to avoid a horizontal cut that could have been fatal.

Ronen unleashed another wave and pushed Dyas out of range, to give himself some space. She rolled to her feet and continued to advance on Durdon. The two combatants clashed sabers again, giving it everything they had, utilizing all of their training and all of their mastery of the saber and the force and of their own minds and bodies. They fought toward the center of the hangar bay, where Durdon managed to swing himself around and deliver a horizontal cut, which Dyas deflected, but he continued the motion and delivered a leg sweep that knocked Dyas to the deck. He stood over her, ready to finish it, but she quickly delivered a swift kick to his knee, and he also fell to the deck plating. As he fell, he grabbed onto Dyas' lightsaber by the hilt, and tried to force her weapon out of the way so he could deliver the finishing blow. He unleashed another blast of Light to try to stun Dyas, again to no effect, and she grabbed his own lightsaber by the hilt and the two combatants grappled, rolling on the deck, each trying to gain some advantage over the other.

Ronen tried to unleash another blast of Force Wave at Dyas, but in such close quarters he found himself surrounded by the protective bubble that encased her body, and the only effect was that both of them went hurtling toward the ceiling, bounced off of it, and collapsed back onto the deck below. They continued rolling on the deck, until Durdon finally had Dyas pinned down, and he began forcing her own lightsaber back at her throat. Dyas, reaching deep, unleashed her speed and strength and reversed Durdon's lightsaber back toward his throat, and held back Durdon's greater strength and leverage, preventing herself from being decapitated. Durdon held back Dyas' counterattack, and forced his own saber forward as well...

Dyas twisted her body around, knocking Durdon off-balance, and then rolled in the opposite direction to avoid the killing blow. She twisted herself free of Durdon's grip, and gracefully did a backflip, avoiding another strike, and deftly dodged sideways to avoid another. She stood toe to toe with Durdon, and they clashed sabers one more time... her connection to the Force weakening, her shield finally began to buckle. Durdon unleashed one last wave of the Force at Dyas. They were standing so close to each other, that the wave blasted both Ronen Durdon and An-Wan Dyas in opposite directions, both of them slamming hard into the duranium on either side of the hangar bay. Durdon was the first to recover and stand up, but he saw that Dyas was also coming to. He disengaged his lightsaber and retreated out the nearby airlock. An-Wan also disengaged her lightsaber, and limped to the opposing airlock. Durdon had been unable to deliver the finishing blow, as Dyas proved to be too elusive. Dyas could not break Durdon's defenses. The contest ended without a death.

Sol Jade and the other Jedi watched it all happen. When it was over, Sol Jade's brow furrowed slightly. "Hmmm......"

He paused.

"It seems that the contest ended in a draw. This is getting us nowhere. We don't have time for this, we need to prepare for tonight's duties. Everyone proceed to your assigned sections, or get some sleep. You have your orders already."

Day ends at 11:59:59 PM Sunday, November 21st, Eastern Time USA (If I get 25 people voting)

Nor Stry-hoth sat in his chair, keeping a watchful eye on the display screen in front of him. His task was to guard one of the many hundred weapons fire control rooms, located near the bow of the ship. Behind him was the large firing chamber itself, a cylindrical device capable of generating a concentrated burst of power so incredible that it could shatter a small moon in a single blast. The room was cramped and didn't leave a lot of room for maneuvering. He heard the sound of footsteps coming down the nearby corridor, and it was not time for him to be relieved of duty yet.

He immediately stood up and prepared to ignite his yellow lightsaber in a basic Form I stance.

Then it appeared. The cloaked figure stepped into view. Nor quickly noted that the being did not have a lightsaber protecting its body, and reached out with the Force to generate the energy he would need.


Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!

Unknown figure: .......


The cloaked figure raised its hands, and Stry-hoth immediately felt as if he was being choked. Reacting quickly, Nor unleashed a beam of concentrated protons at the exposed body of his attacker. Almost immediately, the choking stopped, and the cloaked being roared with a mixture of pain and frustration as the energy tore through its body. Nor Stry-hoth engaged his lightsaber and repeated the command.

Nor Stry-hoth: Identify yourself!


The cloaked being repeated the attack, only this time with more power behind it. Nor Stry-hoth could feel his ribcage being compressed, and bones began to snap. He couldn't breathe... he couldn't move. He reached out and unleashed another proton beam, which ripped through the body of his attacker. The choking and compression eased slightly, but the cloaked creature continued standing, howling in pain, almost brought to its knees, but it remained focused on the attack. Nor could take no more, and had run out of energy.... the beam discontinued. The cloaked being immediately threw all it had into the attack, finishing Stry-hoth, and Nor's chest collapsed under the pressure. Purple blood shot out of his nose, and all the capillaries in his body burst. Nor's lightsaber clattered to the ground, and disengaged.

The victorious creature slammed Nor's body into the firing chamber, killing him instantly, crushing what remained of his body and incinerating it in the large explosion which followed. Power relays blew out all across the deck, and it took some time for the back-up power generators to activate the fire suppression system.

The cloaked being escaped back into the shadows.

_____________________________

Datian Guus was returning to his quarters after his shift, heading down one of the many long, barely-illuminated corridors in the bowels of the ship. He turned a corner and noticed a cloaked figure standing at the far end of the hall, and immediately ducked back behind the corner, and began to mask his force presence. That's when he looked back and saw another cloaked figure rounding the corner and heading in his direction from the opposite side. Apparently his mind trick wasn't working.

Sensing that death was yonder, he immediately ignited his purple lightsaber and stood in a Form II stance.

Datian Guus: Stand back, whoever you are! I'm really not in the mood for this!

First cloaked figure: That's a real shame....

Second cloaked figure: Well, this is unexpected.


The first cloaked figure noticed the second one approaching, but retained its focus on Datian Guus.


First cloaked figure: It's the end for you, Datian.

Mill Kunaay: Not if I have anything to say about it!


The first cloaked figure looked up, and saw that a panel in the ceiling had been removed, and a robed Jedi landed between them, standing in the way, as if protecting Datian Guus. The jedi ignited her lightsaber.

Second cloaked figure: How amusing. Two for the price of one.

First cloaked figure: Do you really think you can stop me?

Mill Kunaay: I'm willing to die trying.

First cloaked figure: So be it...



The powerful being reached deep into the Force, and tapped its power. It began drawing Force energy from the area where Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay were standing, sapping their connection to the Force and sucking the life out of them. A vortex appeared, swallowing up the energy generated by both Datian Guus and Mill Kunaay.

Mill centered herself, and concentrated hard, shielding her mind from the effects of the attack, and Datian Guus as well. Her mind hardened further, as she had foreseen this attack coming.

Her powerful mind was able to turn back the power of the Dark Side. The first cloaked being seemed utterly in shock that the attack had been repelled by this young woman. The second one began laughing.


Second cloaked figure: Oooh, feisty, I like that.

First cloaked figure: You're going to pay for that, foolish one.


Mill Kunaay tapped deeper into the Force and lifted up the first cloaked being using telekinesis.


First cloaked figure: What?? No, this is impossible!


The first cloaked being was slammed against the wall of the corridor, and then against the other, and then back again. Mill Kunaay tossed its body down the corridor like a rag doll, pummeling it with repeated body slams. As if that weren't enough, she began spinning the cloaked figure around and around, causing the being to lose its concentration.


Datian Guus: Master Kunaay, what about the other one?

Second cloaked figure: *mocking* Yes, Master Kunaay, what about the other one?


Mill tossed the powerful creature down the corridor, where it immediately got to its feet and fled the scene to cut its losses. The two Jedi began advancing on the remaining cloaked figure, lightsabers burning brightly.


Second cloaked figure: I bet you two are just brimming with confidence after your victory.

Datian Guus: You might say that.

Second cloaked figure: Good.... twice the pride, double the fall.

Mill Kunaay's precognition informed her of what was about to happen next.

Mill Kunaay: Oh no.... Datian, get out of here!

Second cloaked figure: Hahahahahahaha!!!


The second cloaked figure reached deep into the Force, and unleashed a powerful sonic wave.... coming from both sides of the corridor. The two Jedi turned quickly to scramble out of the hole in the ceiling tiles, but there just wasn't enough time.

The bodies of both Jedi were crushed from the impact of the double wave of power.... and the remains shattered from the intense vibrations. The entire hallway was destroyed, sending tremors throughout the ship and filling the corridor with gas from the ruptured piping.


The second cloaked figure left the scene, victorious.

_____________________________

Master Ronen Durdon stood in one of the observation rooms near the command center of the ship. His keen senses told him what was about to happen, and he readied himself for it.

Durdon: I knew you would come for me.

Unknown: I've been watching you.

Durdon: Shadowing my movements?

Unknown: .....


The cloaked figure ignited its purple lightsaber.

Unknown: Your sword, Master Durdon.

Durdon: If I must.

Ronen ignited his blue lightsaber, and stood in a classic, defensive, Form III- Soresu stance. His attacker was positioned in a Form V- Djem So stance.


Unknown: Really, Soresu? You've not been keeping up with your lightsaber training, have you Master Durdon?

Durdon: It hasn't failed me yet.

Unknown: There's a first time for everything.



Both of the figures paused momentarily, to center themselves. Then, in an instant, the carnage began. The figure with the purple lightsaber was clearly the aggressor, savaging Master Durdon with powerful attacking blows, attempting to break Durdon's defenses. Djem so was a continuation of the Soresu battle philosophy, except that instead of focusing on defense and waiting for your opponent to make mistakes, Djem so seeks to retain a solid defense while creating opportunities for attack. It isn't called the Way of the Krayt Dragon for nothing.

Durdon, for his part, was able to keep up with the attacker who was so skilled with the blade. More impressive was that he was still weary from his previous battle, and unable to perform many of the same acrobatic tricks as before. The blades met, crashing together repeatedly, the attacker seeking to wear out or break down the defender, and the defender expending as little energy as possible. It was still clear that Soresu was inadequate for the task, because the powerful blows caused by Djem so were beginning to wear down Master Durdon anyway.

Backed into a corner, Master Durdon propelled himself over the head of his attacker, assisted by the Force. But this trick nearly cost him his life, as it was only sheer luck that his attacker failed to capitalize on the exposed body sailing over its head. In the end it did nothing but gain him some more room to retreat.


Durdon: Powerful, you have become....

Unknown: Likewise.


The two beings battled on throughout the night. Durdon was completely unable to gain the advantage, and was running out of options. However, his attacker also began to tire, which gave Durdon the ability to continue fighting. They were too evenly-matched... but something had to give.


Durdon: It seems that this contest cannot be decided by our skill with a lightsaber.

Unknown: Don't try it...


Durdon hesitated for a moment to gather Force energy, and his assailant took the opportunity to deliver a blow which broke Durdon's lightsaber in half. Just as his attacker was about to deliver the final blow, Durdon unleashed a massive blast of power, creating a whirlwind of the Force.

His assailant managed to use a mind trick and the blast was mis-directed, but the assailant still needed to move out of the way. When he looked up, he saw that Master Durdon had fled the scene intact.

Frustration boiled through the cloaked being, but in the end, it said nothing, and disengaged its purple lightsaber, and calmly walked out of the observation room. It seemed that the contest was a draw.

"Mill Kunaay was nearly able to spare the life of Datian Guus, but she could not turn back both attackers. They will both be remembered, and honored for their sacrifice. I note also that Master Ronen Durdon survived his encounter with whoever it was that attacked him. But young Padawan Nor Stry-hoth was not so fortunate.

I am therefore forced to promote All'uan Kraytous to the rank of Jedi Knight. May your service honor the memory of those who have fallen."

The young Jedi nodded, and accepted the promotion.

"Kenth Cogma and Bos Dhi Kao, you have also completed your training. I hereby grant you the rank of Master. We need experienced Jedi like Mill Kunaay to turn back the power of the Dark Side. I know you are both up to the challenge."

Both masters nodded.

"I have had a vision that the Force is coming back into balance. Our numbers may be fewer, but our powers are increasing. We will be able to turn back the Sith, I have foreseen this. But the Dark Side is still present, and it may be clouding my perceptions. Nothing is set in stone.

You must press onward. Today, I ask you to bring me a Sith. You must do this, to honor those who have fallen, and turn back the tide of bloodshed. May the Force be with you."


With that, the Jedi began their discussion.

Night phase ending/thread opening early. You may use the extra time. I need at least 25 people voting to end the round on November 21st at 11:59:59 PM.


I do not have your results done in advance. It could take a couple hours to update everyone, and in fact I cannot even do it right away. I will send out quick results only to people who have performed active abilities, because I have to run. I will update you all ASAP.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ok those with active abilities used last night got results.

I have to step away from the computer. The results are still INCOMPLETE, if you didn't get an update that doesn't mean you're not getting one, it just means you didn't use a power on anyone last night.

[pevergreen]

Vote: Warman

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

[seireikhaan]

Vote: Robbiecon

I stand by my last phase's vote. For now. Maybe.

[Seon]

Alright, the double hockeysticks with (and i hope that's not infraction worhy because I just made it up in my head few seconds ago) Ignoramus and Joooray. Let us now take a serious look at Vote: Diana Abnoba. She has been rather uncharacteristic and quiet throughout this whole game and I hope to know why.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

vote:diana

[Death is yonder]

mm I'm honored that whoever it was thought I was so powerful to send two folks after me to kill me

IIRC wasn't it the sith in the past night phase who was using the sonic wave scream thing to kill people? If that was the case, then this very write up proves with near certainty that (as others have mentioned/theorized) that the sith are able to mask their lightsaber colors. Which brings about the question: Then what is the drawback of hiding your identity? If there wasn't a draw back, then they would have been using their non-red lightsabers virtually all the time, unless the variations in color is just there for them to be able to cause confusion to mess up discerning kill patterns etc

Vote: Warman

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

I would presume that your information network has finally gotten down to actually being able to utilize that information?

Apparently his mind trick wasn't working.

Sensing that death was yonder

You couldn't resist could you pizza? thanks for the good death

I don't think the sonic boom user ever used a lightsaber before.

[Choxorn]

Well, I'll have to say, I wasn't really expecting that.

[Beefy187]

Vote: Chaotix

I stand by my vote too.
I would like to know more on the Warman case.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You couldn't resist could you pizza?

There will never be a game that goes by where I do not make a pun about your name when you die. It's my thing now.

Whenever you see me say the word "yonder", you didn't survive. Just so you know.

[autolycus]

The last large game I was in, we didn't kill Diana Abnoba, and I regretted it. She has been awfully quiet. vote:Diana Abnoba.
