Star Trek VI--The Undiscovered Mini-Mafia [Concluded]

[A Very Super Market]

If you guys make another bad choice... I'll phaser myself.

Hope you set it to "tasty"

Unfortunately, I've looked all over and haven't had much luck finding clips from ST VI for the write-ups. I did, however, find this:

I´m a bit annoyed that the round was closed in such a way. I would really prefer a post that says voting closed, round over instead of retroactively closing the round. Now it looks like the round continued to the casual observer and I was just unlucky in getting tossed into the brig where actually Johnhuntingtons vote coincidentially was in just before rounds end (or not?). When you can´t make a rounds end as a moderator, isn´t it possible to just extend it until you can actually close it? Seems fairer to me...


Johnhuntington clearly abused the system and he might have doomed Kirk and Bones to freezing death. So whatever you do next round, make sure he´s behind bars.

I don't know whether that was an in-character jibe or not but I certainly haven't abused the system, oh and ATPG my vote for Khazaar was entirely random but my vote for you was out of small minded jealousy for how you totally fooled me in Dark Descent.

I would just like to let the boys stuck on Rura Penthe know voting for me is a bad idea if you want to be able to vote.

Here's how you know I'm not mafia:

If I were, you'd all be dead by now.

In hindsight, Khazaar does make a good point, and it's naive of me to expect everyone to keep an eye out on the time (and to translate to PST, especially if they live outside of North America). But on the other hand, it may not be fair if someone gets voted due to last-minute votes after the round was supposed to end.

My other option is to end each round at a specific time every day so that you all know what to expect. Unless there is serious opposition to this idea, I will end all subsequent rounds at 1800 PST (0100 GMT the following day), even if I'm not there at that exact moment to end it. 1800 PST is best for my schedule. I'll let you all discuss this during the current night phase in the thread (I know it's not a lot of time, but I'll extend the phase by one hour), and if everyone's ok with it, the next day phase will end at 1800 PST on 7/22 (0100 GMT 7/23).

The current night round gets extended to 1700 PST, 000 GMT.

[Iskander 3.1]

Gamemaster's Note: Unless there is serious opposition to this idea, I will end all subsequent rounds at 1800 PST (0100 GMT the following day), even if I'm not there at that exact moment to end it. If any players (or moderators) have any concerns about this, please let me know. I'm trying to balance fairness vs. my schedule, without sacrificing fun which is why we're all here in the first place, right?

End Night 2

The Enterprise streaked through the stars, unable to exceed warp 5. The new ETA to rescue the Captain and Doctor was tonight. As the crew assembled, they noticed that Uhura's communications console had been tampered with! There was now a chance that Kirk and McCoy's votes might not be received.

"The saboteur was likely the one behind the framing of Kirk and McCoy," said Spock. "Therefore it is logical that we proceed with our voting as we have before."

"Will locking people in the brig for two nights really solve the case?" asked an ensign.

"I will not make any condemnations without the Captain present. We are on schedule to pick him up tonight, at which point we may consider harsher methods."

"Aye, sir" mumbled the crew, hoping that they'd reach him in time.

AskthePizzaGuy was then released and allowed to go about his duties. He stopped by the security office and noticed that a phaser was missing...

Begin Day 3. Voting will concluded at 1800 PST Wednesday (0100 GMT Thursday)

Locked in the brig and unable to vote:
Khazaar

[Askthepizzaguy]

Venturing a theory:

it's very clear that the implication is that Kirk and McCoy are not the saboteurs on board the enterprise. It seems almost unfair for the host to clear both of them as suspects via the story. But it is also clear to me that there is a saboteur on board, from the writeup. That smells to me like we have at least two mafia, one on the enterprise, and one impostor who took the place of Kirk or McCoy. Perhaps that shapeshifting alien. I would guess either Kirk or McCoy are a 50/50 shot at being guilty. To make things even more problematic, I am guessing that since we are trying to rescue these two, there would be some penalty for lynching/killing the wrong one.

But there is someone on board who is also guilty. Khazaar is either cleared or at the very least unable to hurt us. I'm looking at Beskar, john, and atheotes... who to pick, who to pick. I said I would vote for john.... but I'm not sure.

Wenturing a theory:

It's wery clear that the wessels are noo-clee-err. Excuse me, sir! Can you direct us to the nawal base in Alameda? It's where they keep the nuclear wessels. NUCLEAR WESSELS... Name. My name? No, my name. I do not know your name. You play games with me mister, and you're through. I am? May I go now? We are in an enemy wessel. I did not wish to be shot down on our way to our own funeral. Pavel, talk to me... Name! Rank! Chekov, Pavel. Rank... Admiral.

But there is someone on board who is also a wessel. Khazaar is either cleared or at the wery least wery wery unable to damage us. I'm looking at seweral people, I do not know who to pick. It's wery wexing.

Haha, wrong movie...but well done nonetheless.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Also how you know I'm townie: I'm doing schtick.

Oy gewalt.

[Iskander 3.1]

Round ends in 5 hours 18 minutes. There haven't been any votes yet, but I really can't extend it because I'd like to keep things moving here, so please get those votes in!

[atheotes]

hmm...i do not really understand the mechanics... so Vote:Abstain for now...

[Beskar]

Locking Pizzaguy away made sure nothing happened.

On that logic.

Vote: AskthePizzaGuy

[Tratorix]

On that logic.

Vote: AskthePizzaGuy

The ship was still sabotaged, how is that nothing? Vote: Beskar

[Beskar]

Wait, it was? My error.

Unvote: AskthePizzaGuy

[Tratorix]

Wait, it was? My error.

Unvote: AskthePizzaGuy

Ships engines and communications were both sabotaged. Unvote: Beskar

[Iskander 3.1]

Reminder that round closes in 3 hours. The grandparents are taking us out to dinner tonight and I therefore won't be around to announce the closure of the voting. Nor do I know exactly what time I'll be back. I would appreciate it if you all could just remind each other when the round ends.

With relatives leaving tomorrow, and me returning to work during the day, my schedule will finally show some bit of being normal again. I should be around to announce the end of each round at 1800 PST (0100 GMT) from now on (hopefully). Thank you all again for your patience, my daughter and I appreciate it.

[johnhughthom]

Vote:Beskar

Yeah, yeah. You didn't notice my comms console was sabotaged, I believe you...

[Beskar]

Since I was looking for night kills and didn't read, yeah.

vote: johnhughthom

Because I revealed who I was which is a pro-town role in first round.

[Iskander 3.1]

Off to dinner, Round ends in 15. Thanks

[Askthepizzaguy]

Vote: JOHNHUGHTHOM

edit: ah poopy I'm too late.

[Iskander 3.1]

End Day 3

Due to the sabotage, Uhura wasn't able to hear Kirk and McCoy's votes. After a tally, there was a tie between Beskar and johnhughthom.

"As I do not wish to deplete the senior staff here any more than necessary, I will break the tie by my own executive order," said Spock. "Logic demands that johnhughthom spend some time in the brig."

"And after two nights they get released?" asked the same ensign from the previous day. "How is any of this bringing us closer to finding the traitor?"

"I will not give any commands that would condemn a crewman. That is for Captain Kirk alone to decide."

"And if he's dead? Then what?"

"As you humans are fond of saying, we shall cross that bridge when we get to it."

On the way to the brig, they walked past the weapons station which now was missing two phasers...



The Enterprise continued on towards Rura Penthe. Even without the skills of their chief engineer, they would certainly reach Kirk and McCoy by tonight, but unfortunately all communications had been lost. Would they still be alive when they made it?

Begin Night 3. Those of you with night orders have until 1800 PST Thursday (0100 GMT Friday). I promise tomorrow's write-up will be more punctual!

In the brig and unable to vote/night actions
Khazaar
johnhughthom

[Khazaar]

Phaser stealing bastards. I want one too, I´d feel a lot safer...

[Beskar]

ok, it is not me, it is not pizza, it is not Khazaar and it is not John...

That leaves: Tratorix; AVSM and Atheotes.

Now, which two are on the planet? because the Mafia is one that is not.

[johnhughthom]

Just playing devils advocate here, messing with your heads for locking me up maybe? The fact that I'm currently in the brig up doesn't necessarily mean I couldn't have stolen the phasers....

[Beskar]

Thank you for throwing Spanner in the works, Mr. John!

I was hoping it was, then we can get rid of the Mafia and win the game.

[Beskar]

Wait, I worked it out, it is Atheotes!! Atheotes is the Mafia!!!

Look at the write-up. As I said, I am Spock, it isn't Pizza, out of that, everyone else voted.

Two votes weren't heard, two people didn't vote, AVSM and Tratorix, this leaves the last person to be Atheotos.

Atheotos is the mafia!!! Now to brig him.

Not really, I voted you, you voted me and atheotes abstained (+AtPG's late vote). atheotes could be on the planet, whether his vote was heard or not would'nt have effected the outcome of a draw between you and I. A tally from Iskander over the votes would shed some light on the situation though, cough, cough

nudge,nudge

Come on Iskander give us a tally!!!!
