"Of course not, I'm simply calling things out when I see them. You seem loyal to the Jedi and the Republic thus far, but it is my duty to point out any and all potentially scummy behavior when I see it. I am sure you would do the same thing for any suspicious behavior I exhibit. "

"Very well, Anakin, this is what I have observed so far that appears mildly suspicious." "First, the short contributions that say nothing and are fairly unhelpful:" "This last one I feel I should respond to directly. Master Ssiht, some tactic should be discussed privately. Others should be discussed in public. Unless someone has specifically role-claimed to you, the bulk of our conversations should be public, so as to provide patterns of behavior to be analyzed later. This by no means precludes private contact, but we must be vocal about our suspicions at all times. Until a core of trusted Jedi, with knowledge of our available Night Actions can be formed, our planning involves no secrets that must be kept in silence." "And on that note:" "I strongly disagree. Until tomorrow morning, when (I hope) our investigator can turn up a Sith, accusations based on discussion are all we have to go on. If we have a daytime investigator among us, then of course, that would be a different story, but as of yet no one has claimed to have ANY actions they may use during the day, so it is safer to assume we will have to wait until tomorrow before we have concrete information on anything." "Next up, we have a few statements that are seemingly helpful but are not:" "Forgive my disrespectful tone, but: Well, duh! " "The droid C-3PO already covered this, but it's saying much without saying anything at all. Something to keep in mind." "C-3PO also brought up why this is suspicious, but it bears repeating. I will say that I find this more helpful than Master Modanma's statement, however." "And of course, C-3PO's defense of me is somewhat suspicious. Forgive my metagaming paranoia, but I recall a certain Arab lad in a Bedtime Story who buddied up to a character not unlike myself. He indeed turned out to be a Scum in the end, but managed to hide under the radar because he had buddied up to a known Good Guy. Something to keep in mind as the day progresses."

"All talk about setting up ties is pointless, as we already know that in case of a tie the first person to reach the total will be lynched. To be frank, there are VERY few circumstances in which a no-lynch would be helpful to anyone other than the Scum, and the rules laid down for us acknowledge that by making it virtually impossible." "If no one speaks, there will be no behavior to be analyzed. We need to talk as much as we can, so that the Sith are drawn into saying things they will later regret."

"No, I am asking them to investigate me and then contact me. There's a world of difference."

It hadn't yet loaded for me. Sowwy.

"Normally, yes, our insights from the Force would be limited to the nighttime hours, but in private the topic of day-time insights came up, and so I thought I'd address it. In any case, that was not the main point of that statement, the point is, if any of us can sense the motives of the others, I welcome their scrutiny, so that we may work together to root out the Sith in the days to come." "Also, I must ask Master Yoda: there appears to have been an exceptionally long time in which the site was down time itself seemed to stand still. Will this affect the deadline for our voting in any way, or should we continue as normal?"

Eurobricks was down from 11:55 am Pacific to about 1:10 PM Pacific time, but it was a "board closed for maintenence" message. I have a screenshot, I'll try and get it up soon.

"I was just about to point that out, but then though better of it. I've been criticized in the past for pointing out those sorts of things, and didn't want to repeat my mistakes." "I also am rather annoyed that, even after I spoke to everyone about the need to speak up, R2-D2 rolled into the room, stayed here silently for quite a while, and rolled right back out without saying anything. Speak up, people! We need you, R2-D2!"

"Unfortunately, there are still several of us who have yet to speak--and even more who have spoken without saying anything of substance. Until we can narrow down the field, it will be difficult to pick one target for our votes when the time comes."

"This was indeed my line of thinking. That, and I couldn't stand the thought that they might be major characters that I inexplicably knew nothing about. "

" Pardon my Corellian. In the intenseness of this situation, I seem to have discarded my proper decorm. Forgive me, Masters." "As to the discussion about not lynching, though the idea itself is not helpful, the responses to it may very well be. It's not much to go on now, but in conjunction with other discussions later on in the day it may tip the balance in the favor of one candidate over another." "Now, as something has come up in a discussion in private, I'd like to ask: does anyone expect any...extra insights from the Force during the Day today? If so, please contact me and/or someone you feel you can trust. I hope that my attempts to spark discussion have proved myself helpful and trustworthy, but if not I gladly offer myself up for scrutiny, I truly do have the best interests of the Temple, the Order, and the Republic at heart."

"I welcome the Finger of Suspicion. The sooner my innocence is known to all, the sooner we can move on to a real suspect."

"I too read that story in the Archives, it is a happy fantasy but one I doubt we will see repeated, unfortunately." "And indeed, perhaps I am jumping to conclusions, but if you recall my history, I have always been prone to doing such. I learned from the best. *cough*Hinckley*cough* " "So, has anyone else observed any suspicious behavior today? I urge you, even if you have no specific suspicion, to step forth and make comment upon our dillemma. Any and all behavior is vital information, and until tomorrow will be our ONLY means of discerning the identities of the Sith scum."

"Careful there, Skywalker. Anger leads to hate, hate leads to hats. I don't like hats, as I cannot wear them. " Unfortunately, we cannot change our votes. We must know our suspect with certainty before we place our vote for them.

"It is indeed simply curiosity. I can't call myself a proper Star Wars nerd if I can't recognize your character. Also, because your name (and the names of the others) are not in the Archives, I do not know whether to address you as 'Masters,' 'Jedi,' or 'young ones,' something I find embarassing and uncomfortable. I'm a Jedi Master, I should know this stuff, blast it! " *I laugh, the sound strange and echoey due to my four throats.* "I understand your position. Perhaps it is a case of...what it the Human phrase? 'Once burned, twice shy?' Regardless, I will attempt to be equally paranoid of everyone going forward."

"We all understand that Isabella's pikemen should do nothing this round, but should Isabella's knights simply stay at guard, or should they strike?"

"Upon further calculation, there are twenty-five of us. If one of us is killed tonight, that will leave twenty-four, meaning thirteen of us would have to vote in order to lynch. If all of us had five penalty votes, then it would still take eight people to lynch--I sincerely hope there are not that many Sith among us, and that if there are, they would not all be united as one. Therefore, Ahsoka, your plan of us all not lynching is indeed viable, at least in theory. However, it would also deny the rest of us any opportunity to observe voting patterns tomorrow, letting the Sith scum hide in silence. Therefore I believe this plan to be too dangerous to execute." "Perhaps, though it would be possible for two Jedi to speak at the same time and tip the scales one way or the other purely by accident. As I said, it is indeed a good plan, but it is simply too little of a reward for too great a risk."

"Although I am hesitant to invoke any situation that might involve penalty votes, that may simply be my own past biasing my opinion on the situation. How many of us are there again? How many votes would it take to lynch someone tomorrow if they already have 5 penalty votes on their head? Depending on the number of Sith who have infiltrated the Temple, they may be able to hammer us even this early, and we must deprive them of that weapon if it is at all possible. Although, it may prove useful..."

I'm ashamed to admit I have not. The last couple of days have been kinda busy.

"Please do not misunderstand, I simply am annoyed that Wookieepedia has failed me surprised I don't already know where you're from curious as to your history. My history is available to all on Wookieepedia in the Archives, but yours was not. That is all. " "Perhaps 'suspicions' was the incorrect term, I simply mean there are those of us here I would be less likely to trust, initially, than others. Those of us with 'silver tongues', as I believe humans say. For now, it speaks more to metagaming my own paranoia than to any solid suspicion of wrongdoing. I hope this has cleared things up."

I have a feeling Doc spent several hours doing nothing but looking up useful Star Wars quotes to use as soon as he found out he was playing.

"I would suspect one who is young, and inexperienced, one easily swayed by the seductive lure of power offered by the Dark Side. One much like yourself...just kidding! No, I have my suspicions, but only time, meditation, and honest discussion will confirm or deny them."

"Master Skrall, unless you order otherwise, Imperial Pikemen B will do nothing but remain on alert, while Crossbowmen B will attack. If you do order some other strategy, my troops will submit to your orders."

"This is a grave tragedy. I mourn for our bretheren's life with all of you. Or at least, all of you EXCEPT the Sithspawn responsible for his death." "I must say, I know almost all of you, but Hugar Ssiht, Coryn Kelens, Ithra Srryn, Ili Seosty, and Euna Iladru are all totally unfamiliar to me. Perhaps you would like to explain a bit about yourselves? A Jedi does not fear what they do not know, but I cannot believe any of my Jedi bretheren would be capable of this."
