Star Trek 2 Mafia - Day One

[Bob]

Players Only Please!

Day One: Re-encounter at Farpoint

The Enterprise-D is crusing through space after another mission.

"Well, I'd say the colonists on New Berlin are safe once more after we've dealt with that asteroid." Riker said.

"Quite. I'm looking forward to our upcoming archaelogical expedition."

It was not to be, however, as with a flash, the mischievous Q appeared on the bridge!

"Bonjour, Picard. I apologize for dropping in so suddenly."

"Q! What are you doing here!" Picard shouted, angrily.

"Can't I drop in from time to time to visit my friends?"

"No." Worf replied

"Ah, well, you've caught me. I was doing some reading of your Starfleet records when I came across a mysterious event that the original Enterprise crew had. They played a game called mafia, and after some research, I decided that we should all do the same!"

Picard and Riker stood up, quite displeased.

"We will not be pawns for your amusement!" Worf shouted.

"Mr. Worf, please calm down." Picard said. "We will not be pawns for your amusement."

Worf sighed after being reprimanded again.

"There are eight of you on this bridge. Two of you are now randomly scum. Any attempt to not play my game will result in me destroying this ship instantly. I have frozen the rest of the ship so there's no other distractions from anyone else. And I've taken Counselor Troi's empathic powers away so she can't cheat."

"Oh dear." Troi said, upset.

With that, Q disappeared in a flash as quick as he appeared, leaving the bridge crew of the Enterprise to decide what to do next.

---

We're going to wait for Lady K, but if she doesn't show, we'll replace her. 

[Fugazi]

This is a silly game. When this Q returns, I'm going to slice his head off and send the rest out of the airlock. With your permission, sir. Maybe he's immortal, but that won't stop me from trying.

In the meantime, as head of security I say we get started on this investigation. The sooner we find the scum the sooner we put an end to this stupid child play and get back to our actual mission.

Now everybody, get talking. We won't get anywhere without the cooperation of all hands.

[KotZ]

Is Q providing the special armament for this ship? Paging 007. I read that in a book.

Only Scum would talk with their hands. Found one.

Talk to the hand.

Permission granted.  Can't stand the sight of that guy.

[Trekkie99]

I am clearly at a diadvantage in our current situation, as I lack the ability to have a "gut feeling". 

[KotZ]

Where is everyone?

[Hinckley]

*waves* Hi.

Hey, look at these 2 pictures... there's a long black hair on the floor (long by our minifig standards at least). That's a clue that Deanna must be one of the scum right?

Crap. Guess I shouldn't vote based on that.

Ah, but you have the most logic of any of us, so you should absolutely have an advantage. Figure it out for us before we die!

[Bob]

A bit over 27 hours remain in this day.

[KotZ]

It's too early in the game to vote to extend the day, in my opinion, even if it would give people more time.

Vote: Wesley Crusher (Pandora)

As a wake up vote. Also Wesley was the first person on the list as I scrolled from the bottom to top to see who had posted.

[Trekkie99]

I will vote for Cammander Riker, in an attempt to alert him of his needed presence on the bridge.

Vote: (Cammander Riker)

[mostlytechnic]

Well, everyone needing awakened has already been poked. So instead, I'll 

Vote: Picard (Kristel)

because who else would Q pick to be scummy than our captain?

Anyone other than me.  Q has his fun by making me squirm while I try and figure out what he has done.  It's not me.

[Fugazi]

We need to lynch a red shirt, because red shirts are expendable. Uh wait, wrong century, this is the Next Generation.

I will vote: Lieutenant Commander Deanna Troi (Hinckley). She's way too laid-back today, she is probably plotting and scheming on the scum board as we speak.

And then she kind of has a red shirt too.

[Hinckley]

Votes aren't alarm clocks!

What would Scum be scheming in a game with no Actions? You're also laid back. What's not to be laid back about? Nobody can do anything and we can't be killed at night.

Having not heard from roughly half of the crew, why is Geordie LaForge so eager to end the day? Why wouldn't we want as much time as possible to get reads on people, seeing as that's all we have.

Vote: Geordie LaForge (KotZ)

Vote: extend the day

Why are we calling Kyle Geordie?

[Trekkie99]

Agreed counselor.

Vote: extend the day

Because I would prefer to keep the day extension for a day when analysis is more important. The extra 24 hours is crucial. We find Day 1 usually is a BS day of people jumping on little things, or we reach a no vote which can hamper or harm the town, although that final point is irrelevant in this specific game, as we must reach a conclusion of a lynch by the end of the day. I would rather vote out a nonvocal player and then use the day extension the next day for more analysis.

And excuse my, my name is Geordie, or can't you read? I can teach you, you know. At least I'm not a Karen.

This is a uneducated chioce for multiple reasons. While voting for the Captain or anyone else due to a lack of available information in our current state is acceptable, assuming Q would turn the Captain into the mystery instead of having him solve the mystery would be an improbable assumption in practice.

This may not happen with the remaining time we have left if we do not extend.

I think the "once" in this rule means once per day, not once in the whole game.

[Fugazi]

Wait a minute, can we extend the day by 24 hours once every day, or once in the whole game? I thought the former but I see how it could go either way.

I thought it was once the whole game.

Maybe @Bob could clarify?

[Bob]

To clarify, "once" is once a day. You can vote to extend the day every day, but only once a day for a maximum of 72 hours.
