Shadows

I get the impression that no one is lying, you included, but clearly something is wrong. You can't both be sane investigators (it's bizarre that you would even be told that at all, I've never seen that happen in my life) with different names and result types (Mafia vs "Werewolf") unless he's some other kind, and even then the results are wrong. I'm certainly not a "Werewolf" and if he doesn't know what they are either, I can't imagine he's searching for them. Hal's answer to my previous question should tell us a lot. I find the lack of participation annoying and a little sad. I was hoping for someone to have more information, like a tracker or a blocker, though honestly I might lose my mind if a 3rd investigator appears.

Quoting is complicated, I'm just going to reply/comment on various points. I do not, for a moment, believe that a party this size could include two investigators (with different role names) who get accurate alignment results. The fact that both claim to have been told that they are sane is absolutely impossible (not that they were told, but that it is true). It's also really bizarre for there to even be such a sanity vouch made to either I also do not believe that a party this size could include both a neutral and a dedicated investigator to find them. If there was such an investigator, I don't think they would be confused by the results and would actually have been told to look for a "Werewolf", whatever that means. This point can be partially cleared up with one simple question: Hal, were you told to look for Gate Protectors or some other specific faction? If you were told one of those, you would not find anything else, your result would simply be something like "<player> is/is not a <alignment>." Clearly you think you found something else. If I'm right and you thought you were looking for Gate Protectors, then there is trickery afoot, At the very least a framer. It seems reasonable to arm the scum with such a role to try to sow confusion in such a small party, and I'd say it has worked because I've never been quite this confused so early in an adventure. Bottom line, this entire adventure is going to be held while walking a tightrope. There aren't many of us, we don't know what the scum can do, or even how many there are. I feel pretty certain there is no neutral, but if Hal says they were looking for one, that's just one more problem for us to deal with. We're already in trouble.

That's unfortunate, it means one of three things. You're scum and lying, knowing that with so few members in the party, and one successful kill already, it wouldn't take much more to win. You're crazy and think you've gotten correct results. There's a framer who knew how likely it was that I would be investigated and got their wish. Whichever it is, we can't afford a mistake, this party is small and lynching me will make it clear that I'm not scum, then the rest of you will be left to figure out whether or not to lynch Hal tomorrow, putting the party in immense danger if wrong. I will say that "Werewolf" is a suspiciously phrased result, by the way. It's the one twist that makes me think that #1 is possible, thought I am most inclined to believe #3, the method that potentially kills two parrots with one cobblestone. I am also slightly suspicious of a role claim coming so quickly, but we don't know how many scum there are, so maybe you think it's safe. Maybe it is, except for being wrong. Does anyone else think they know anything, a tracker or blocker or someone who can give us something to consider?

There is no way all of that fits on a sign.

I come from a long line of tree punchers, I would be remiss not to make the joke. As for voting, I don't like attendance votes much, or retaliation for attendance votes, or retaliation for retaliation for attendance votes for that matter, so I think I'll wait a bit longer. That said, if Kai doesn't appear before the deadline draws near, I'll have no problem casting a vote in that direction since they would be in violation of the rules of life.

I think we start by punching trees and digging a hole to hide in for when night comes.

Hello there, I'm Valorie. Watch out, Steve, there's a creeper behind you! I think his name is Kai. Anyone else feel like punching a tree?

Count me in! I'd give it a little longer, I'm sure some more creepers will show up, they always do.

Realising the need for a more complete colour chart, I made one. Much like most of what I do, it's a bit excessive. It also serves as a guide to the colour names as used by Bricklink, Peeron, and LEGO, which makes it useful when looking things up on those sites. I know I've been stumped by some of the names that LEGO calls things, not even referring to standard green as green. They're funny like that. I hope it serves you well in your customizing needs. Remember: These are the official LEGO colours as are used for parts. They may use more or different ones when producing patterns on pieces, and some would be difficult to replicate, such as the metallics and pearl effects. These colours are only a guide and should not be considered a limitation to what can be used. They simple serve to provide some uniformity to designs and help your designs to the pieces you would apply them to. Try to remember that some pieces are more readily available in certain colours and take that into account while designing. It isn't realistic to make a torso decal that requires a colour in which one has never been made, for example. If you use a different chart, please feel free to post it in this thread as well.

"And you can forget that happening after supporting a mutiny by a fake cop."

I'm not trying to kill Gabby, I'm trying to free her from her brainslug. Stun might still knock it off.

Does it have to be in the dark? *pulls out blaster and shoots Gabby right below that thing she calls hair* Always had the impression that was a one-eyed brain sucker dying of starvation. Does that answer any of the questions? I don't trust the 'cop', but she doesn't have funny hair, so I can't find an excuse to shoot her.

*struts into the room* "I'm back!" *everyone stares* "What? I've had a lot of coffee today, it's only natural. None of you poop?" "We found the killer yet? Anyone need to be shot? Is that idiot still breaking things? Can I just shoot them???"

*wonders why people keep trying to look under the beds that are bolted down, perhaps some kind of latent childhood fear*

*wakes up* "Sorry, I must have fallen asleep there for a minute. From the stress, I'm sure. Stress makes me tired. I mean, dead people, creepy people, a teapot that seems to have infinite shards to give, secrets, burned papers, it's all too much. I was promised a relaxing job, one where I just ferried around little children on their trips to mildly amusing 'exotic' tourist traps, er, vacation spots. No one mentioned all this. I certainly would have asked for more credits." "Let's go to 1d, wherever that is."

"I do have this stun gun you know. If I set it really low and slowly increase it, maybe it will jar something in that broken head of yours. I bet it's very effective at helping people remember things."

I was fairly certain Ezra was on the bridge being watched over by the rest of the crew, which was the point of leaving him there with them.

"Discount tricorder?"

"It isn't even a legitimate reason to have sent the message, if anything they should have contacted Blue Star for a repair or tow. This is definitely sus as hell." "I'm fairly certain they aren't going to just let us get home without interfering further. Whatever the case, the best we can do is solve this murder and see if we can mess up their plans."

"Unless this cop is fake, the second we arrive, the ship will be locked down until the murder is solved. They aren't going to let that happen. Makes me even more suspicious of the cop, who could easily have arrived in a stolen ship to help the killer and anyone else involved in this."

"There would be no reason to jam us if they weren't worried about someone knowing what has happened. Do you really think they're going to let us get to our destination with that in mind?"

"I don't know, it seems awfully sus to me. I think we eject the cop. Kidding, sort of. Still, they show up in response to a call that we shouldn't have been able to make and don't even know why they're here, it's not quite right..." I'd like to take a look at the Space Police ship to confirm that it is one.

"So here is my question... if communications are being blocked, how exactly did we notify the Space Police?"

I know I've been the cornerstone of the investigation and all but my PC died and I'm dealing with the real life issues associated therein. Use me as you will, borrow my keycard and such. I'll participate more when I can. Sorry.
