A little under 24 hours remains of the Day. Vote count: Florentzia Lizar / JimButcher: 4 votes (Hinckley, Black Rabbit, Sandy, Eskallon) Jad Suur / Darkness Falls: 2 votes (JimButcher, Sir Dillon) Non-voters: 13 (Darkness Falls, Darth_Legois, Dragonator, Inertia, I Scream Clone, Mr. Mandalorian, pedro, Ricecracker, Shadows, simonjedi, Stash2Sixx, Svelte, Zepher) It takes 10 votes to convict.

The planet he comes from, Mepaime, is a waterworld, so his race evolved in water and thus breathes through gills, which further means he needs a fishbowl on his head when he's in an atmosphere. So on his planet it's certainly not "all the rage"

Seeing as my bonus payment from my job is coming any day now, and that getting a week off in June shouldn't be a problem it's now close to 90% certain that I'll make it to BW10. So, any other Europeans that know they're going?

The whole Black Hole situation is there only as an incentive not to let days end without a conviction. Nothing you say or do will have an effect on the engines, they are off until the Wiener Situation has been delt with. And to restate what Shadows already mentioned in the Day 2 thread, there are no clues in the pictures, so stop looking for them

Already told you this on the Brikkelauget forum, but damn, that vaulted ceiling is brilliant And I agree with Sir Dillon about the wooden supports, they're great too It could perhaps have been less square, but I'm not at all sure whether that would have been better or not. Your usual quality for sure, good luck in CCCVII

Ahem. Please remember that there's to be no voting the first 24 hours of the game Day. As stated in the opening post voting may start at 18:20 UTC Sunday 15th of November, it's now 17:59 UTC. So this vote will not count. (you may revote in 22 minutes though )

Ouch, editorial note: That's a typo on my part, it should say "someone" about both killers, I've fixed it now.

And Day 2 is up.

Important: Do not post in the Day threads if you're not a player Day 2 Late at night Fassin Trevlac woke up from someone requesting entry into his quarters. Opening the door he was somewhat worried, but invited the stranger in nevertheless. Except the stranger wasn't there to visit, he was there to kill. And soon Fassin Trevlac lay dead on the floor. Elsewhere in the ship 2nd Lt. Eituze was on his way back to his quarters to get some rest before the next voting cycle when he heard someone approaching from behind. Turning around he saw the stranger had a gun pointed at him already, his quick reflexes wouldn't help him this time. "Eituze! Prepare to die!" Zap!. Satisfied with a job well done the stranger made a quick getaway. On the morning everyone gathered in the meeting room again, but this time Lt. Cmdr. Susan Antares did not lead. Instead the ship's main computer's avatar Ivanova spoke to them from the screen. Good morning everyone. I have some bad news, some worse news, and some even worse news. So let's start with the night's killings. Both of the victims were not-infected. The worse news, I've discovered that our engine nacelles aren't responding, so we're drifting in space without any manouvering capabilities. And the final problem we're stuck with: not too far from here lies a Black Hole. So if we don't deal with this Alien Infection soon and fix our engines we'll be sucked into in by it's gravity and die, every last one of us. According to my calculations we have about 1.1 Megaseconds until the black hole's gravitational pull will be too strong for our engines to achieve escape velocity. This should give us time for just about 11 100 Kilosecond long cycles of voting and rest. (that is, 11 Days, if you don't understand the technobabble ) Rules (borrowed from Dragonator ) This game will follow the basic conventions of a Mafia Game. Each "Day", you will be given 96 real hours in which to vote for someone to kill. The day will end as soon as a majority decision is reached, or when the 4 days are up. If someone has been convicted, you will find out their loyalty shortly after end of the day. After this a night phase will begin, which will last 48 real hours. Then the cycle will repeat. Those players with night actions must PM them to me during the night phase. If I do not receive them within the 48 hours, they will not be counted. - There are two main sides in the game, not-infected and infected. Your winning criteria is included with your character PM. - Voting is to be done in the day thread, and should follow the following format: Vote: Character (Player). Please note the use of bold. This is the only format that will be accepted. To unvote someone, the same applies: Unvote: Character (Player). - There will be no voting in the first 24 hours of a game Day. - No unvoting after a conviction has been reached. Do this more than once and you will be killed. - You may not edit your posts. Do this more than three times and you will be killed. - Out of character (OOC) posts should be kept in the Discussion thread. - No metagaming. - There are no clues in the pictures, so don't look for them. - Do not post in the Day threads when dead. You're dead, act like it. - Do not ever directly quote something the game moderator has sent to you via PM, whether it be your character information, night action results, or any other form of communication. Violation of this rule will result in a moderator kill. You may of course paraphrase any information you receive; if it is your own words then it is fine. - Do not discuss game tactics or "play the game" outside the game thread, including in the General Discussion thread. You may communicate privately via PM, but this is at your own risk, and should be considered part of playing the game. - Please be considerate towards the host. I will try my best to stick to the schedule, and your cooperation will help this greatly, particularly getting night actions in promptly. Voting may start at 18:20 UTC Sunday, 15th of November.

Looks like it was a great event, wish I could have been there, could you have it closer to Norway next time please? (Gothenburg would be great)

Day 1 has ended without a conviction It is now Night, those with night actions have 48 hours to send them to me in a PM, if your night action is not sent within those 48 hours it will not be counted. The sooner you send in your night actions the sooner I can start preparing Day 2.

Indeed. That goes for the others that have edited their posts too, of course. (Yes Black Rabbit and Mr.Mandalorian, I am talking about you.) No editing, at all, even if it's just a typo fix, do not do it. Rather post a follow up post pointing out your typo and what it should have been. Remember that if you post two posts right after each other they will be merged, so don't worry about double- and triple-posting.

It's great to finally see the finished version of this (Captain Greenhair has talked "quite a bit" about in on MSN ) Truly amazing, as one would expect from two such fine ship builders Brilliant shape of the hull, and the rigging, sails and flags really add to the impression. If only TLG had hired you guys to design the 10210.. then it'd probably cost way too much

If the Day lasts for more than 96 hours without a majority vote the Day ends without a conviction and no one is killed. (this has always been the standard in EB mafia games, I saw no need to change it)

Yes, you can.

With apologies for the delays; Day 1 is up.

Important: Do not post in the Day threads if you're not a player Day 1 Satisfied after freeing his brethren and helping them find new hosts the alien infected Dr. Feynman were returning to the lab when he came upon Captain Hawkings who was doing his final inspection of the ship before retiring for the night. Knowing that the captain was a dire threat the alien infected Feynman rushed at him, hoping to catch him unaware. But no, the captain heard him coming and exclaimed "But Feynman! What are you doing?!" As fast as he could the captain pulled out his gun and shot the onrushing alien infected Feynman, hitting him, but not good enough, Feynman managed to hurt the captain badly. With his life running out with every beat of his heart the captain knew he had to alert the rest of the crew, and crawled to the alarm system. Upon hearing the alarm many of the crew came rushing from their quarters and looked upon a gruesome sight. The captain and Feynman were both dead, and on the floor lay one of the aliens from Ver-Ziji 4, it was pretty clear to everyone what had happened. Gathering everyone in the meeting room Lt. Cmdr Susan Antares took charge: There is no certain way for us to find those who have been infected, we must do this by vote, every day we must throw one of us out the airlock, surely the cold, hard vacuum of space will flush out whatever things are in some of us.

Indeed. Been quite a mess tonight with matters beyond my control, so I wasn't able to post Day 1 like was my original intention, sorry about that (Darkness Falls has until the end of Day 1 to get active, if not he'll be replaced) I'll get Day 1 up tomorrow, promise.

I'm almost getting worried about the high number of Swedes coming, even with a 100% increase of the Norwegian delegation from this year we'll be hard pressed to keep up with you guys

Indeed, you are correct, I'm waiting for two confirmations. Should start reading my spreadsheets properly.

Just waiting for one more confirmation then, before I can post Day 1. There is always a trade-off between how much "new blood" one wants vs how many of the players that one knows will provide high quality, fun posts. Not saying that new players will not have good contributions, but there's always a risk. (and naturally one does not want to offend the staff by not including them ). So it's a tough decision, and there will never be a "perfect selection" and certainly no way to make everyone happy. As for statistics, 6 players (or 28.5%) are brand new as mafia players on EB. There are nods to many things, including Half-Life and Babylon 5, yes.

That's a typo, one of them is ISC's role, I'm a bit tired here

Indeed a great job (too bad I'm busy at work, so I can't reply properly, have to return later to do that ) Just have one question that is too pressing: what did you use for the handles on the shopping bags? Did you cut up some antennas or bar 4L or something?

Quite. There will also be a confirmation thread to see if any immediate replacements are needed, I certainly hope there won't be any need for replacements, but you never know Update: and with the signup deadline only 17 minutes away I guess I'll close this. I'll send out role PMs and post a confirmation thread tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for showing such great interest in my modest little game, over 50 signups, wow.
