Location: D10 The Hamilton Belt Mission Log: Entry 15 ~ When I found that drone on Greater Direstan and boarded the shuttle to which it had led me, I didn't expect it to be set to autopilot. I certainly didn't expect it to be bound for the Hamilton Belt, an asteroid field near Orinshi. And when it landed, when I saw the sign "Avindrian Laboratories", I knew I had quite possibly entered the worst case scenario. Although there were still large gaps in my memory, some things were vividly imprinted in my consciousness. One of them was this place, what it contained, and what it meant for me. The robotic butler led me down the twisting, grey hallways. Everything was so clean, bare, sterile - almost as if the life had been sucked out of the place. We entered a small room, low-ceilinged, the Avindrian Laboratories logo emblazoned on the walls. Various small robots scurried out of our way, but I took no notice of them. My gaze was drawn to the high, throne-like chair which sat at the far end of the room, and the man who sat in it. "It's been a while," His voice resonated all around the room, "I'm glad you're back, Cjalus. Very glad indeed." "Don't call me that," My voice had an edge to it that I hadn't noticed before, "Dragonfire. I'm Agent Dragonfire now." "Dragonfire, eh? Interesting choice...." His voice seemed to trail off, then picked up again, "Well, Dragonfire, it would appear I need your help. There's been an... incident in the laboratory, and it requires military personnel - and who better than my own son?" To be continued.... Without minifigures: The minifigures (and various robots):

Vote: Ewan Breckenridge (mostlytechnic). I guess this post is implying that you suspect Ewan based on behind-the-scenes reasons that the rest of us aren't privy to. If so, then hopefully we can lynch another Shadow today It's unlikely that there is a SK because there's never been more than two kills in one night, and both Mike and Duke were ideal vigilante targets IMO. However, two scum teams is much more likely due to ze wording of ze rules. To be honest, I don't understand what you're trying to say here and what you're trying to accuse me of. :wacko: You've bolded this line: Maybe you don't understand what I was saying there. I'll bullet-point it for you. - I made a fluffy, role-playing comment referring to Foorth being a robot - Woodcock accused me of "subtly questioning the logic behind the ping" - I don't get how "subtly questioning the logic behind the ping" is scummy; plus,I didn't do it. Maybe "bandwagon" was the wrong word choice. What I was referring to was that yesterday, Ewan was a very popular lynch choice, right up until Molly revealed Duke's scumminess. Today, the two people to speak before you suspected Ewan. You knew that lots of people suspected Ewan and you could get momentum on him, so you say something against him too. Additionally, it takes the focus off of you. You said this: Voting for a teammate doesn't get you "townie points". You should know that already. Your entire point about Ewan is simply bad WIFOM. I believe you are guilty of twisting my words to give the wrong impressions. I said this: When I mentioned you, Wynn and the two dead scum, I was thinking of possible scumteams in which Duke would be allowed to claim tracker (ie. scum teams with few experienced people). That was what I was going on about. But then I said this: You're accusing me of avoiding lynching Ewan, yet I said that he was one of my four top suspects. You're taking parts of my post and setting them up to be misleading to others. I really really want to vote you now... Oh, and Ooooohhhh....I'm so scared And I most definitely have been pinged... by you! Ping! There.

Nice ship design! I like the aliens too

Pleased that his party leader is taking others' views into consideration, Avalanche replies, "I've no use for the shoes, gem or tonic; however, that fishy meat looks interesting... and tasty."

I have something interesting to share.... this morning, I was informed by the Host that I would be unable to post for the first 24 hours of the day. Has anyone else had this happen to them on previous days? It looks like we may have a prankster role or a role that can curse people in this game.... That's why I initially scumread him. He made a bad accusation against me and then immediately did a 180 and retracted it as soon as I called him out for it. To me it looked like a poor attempt to get a wagon started, which was quickly suppressed when he got even a smidgeon of suspicion. It's quite typical scum behaviour, but I don't think it necessarily paints me as scum too. Another poor accusation from you. Once again, you're jumping on an easy bandwagon and trying to look helpful by saying something. Utterly transparent How many scum do we think there are? With seventeen initial players, I can't think there would be any more than four scum, especially since last game was so unbalanced. Two down, so two (probably) left. What if the team is Quincy, Wynn, Duke and Anthony? In that scenario Duke would probably be allowed to claim tracker.... Either way, I think you have a good point: the scum are likely to be in Quincy, Wynn, Woodcock and Ewan. Possibly Gale, Lusk and Dink, but those three are somewhat less likely. You can say that, but it's not as if you've given any sort of analysis or tried to help the town.... You keep dodging your "suspicion" of me from the last three days. You failed to explain why what you accused me of (questioning logic) is scummy, and you only made yourself look bad. Now you've apparently dropped all suspicion of me - probably because you want to pursue an easier bandwagon like Ewan's. And then you bring Lusk's name out of the blue - you've never said zat you suspect him before, or why you suspect him.....

Avalanche smiles at the mystic knight, "Nice one," as he sets Frostbite down on the deck, wiping mutant fish blood from it with a grubby piece of cloth. He stands near the prow, squinting in the glare of the midday sun, "Captain, how long d'you think we have afore we reach Tridentia?"

KoTZ, I attacked Tito, not Ray, so I should be at 19 HP. Avalanche curses as the stingray's fangs sink into his arm, turning his white fur crimson. Snarling, he attacks Ray from the back row.

Location: B08 Greater Direstan Tags: Exploration Credits to CallMePie for this build. I hope I did it justice. Mission Log: Entry 14 ~ It was nearly midday when I opened my eyes. I didn't know who I was, where I was or how long I'd been asleep for. I was lying face down in the earthy soil of some planet; in front of me, dense forests gave way to vast cliffs of solid stone, permeated by purple twinkles. The name "awesomnium" occurred to me, although I had no idea why. To my left, the entire planet was a barren, charred wasteland, small flames licking at the skeletons of trees and bushes; it was as if a great area of the planet had been slain, razed to the ground and turned to ashes and dust. I was horrified: who could have done such a thing? I then became aware of a curious robotic ... thing hovering above the canopy of trees. It was grey, with dark red highlights and an emblem in the shape of a flower entitled "Kawashita Group Probe Drone Mk. IV". The... drone, I guess, hovered down until it came face to face with me. A curious, gravelly voice emanated from it, "Scanning.... Identification Approved." I peered into its luminous red eye, "What identification? Tell me about myself." It replied, and as it did, as if from a jigsaw puzzle, pieces began to fall in place within my head. Who I was, where I was and what had happened to me. "Name... Cjalus Avinder, alias Agent Dragonfire. Homeworld: Earth, Milky Way Galaxy. Occupation: Senior Board Executive at Kawashita Group, Ltd." I blinked, taking all of this in, "Where... where am I?" "Location: Greater Direstan, Andromeda Galaxy. Currently under MANTIS control." MANTIS. For some reason I thought I ought to remember the name, but it escaped me once again. I did know one thing, though. They must be the ones that did this to this beautiful planet. I felt a cold feeling of rage at the wanton destruction; it was interrupted by the drone. "Message from the CEO of Kawashita, Agent Raven. 'Dragonfire, is that you? Where have you been? We've lost almost all our members and the other corporations are encroaching on our territory. There's a shuttle in orbit above this planet. Come quickly: Kawashita needs you." I got to my feet, a determined feeling in my mind. I would find out what had happened. I would find out who I really was. I would return to Orinshi. I was back. Without minifigure/drone:

The robots are really well done and I like the trees and the ground-covering leaves too! Same question as Steve, did you make a planet error? If so, then you should PM Bob and he'll change it for you.

Molly, this is also true for my suspicion of Quincy earlier today. Exactly. No, now you're trying to back your way out of a sticky situation. You singled out Foorth and tried to make us focus on him for really stupid reasons, and then when he makes one post in defence, you automatically withdraw your suspicion of him. IMO that's a scum move. Wait, Woodcock's been here and said nothing? With all the talk concerning him, he ought to get in here, clear things up and defend himself. Or maybe - oh la la! - he's just gone to consult with his buddies on the scum board about what to say?

Please respond to my earlier question. Oh - I wasn't aware that you particularly suspected them, just that you were calling them out for being quiet. Thanks for the clarification

I believe you forgot two aliens that I introduced: the massive, wolf-like one that almost ate me on Lesser Direstan and the green, tentacled one that I chased for three consecutive weekly builds

Okay, that's a relief What did you mean by "they come from the Blocker"? Are you saying that we should naturally suspect those four because the Blocker mentioned their names?

To be honest, Foorth hasn't posted much and so I'm kind of in the middle on him. I don't have much of a read on him. I mentioned the Delwyn thing as a bit of a FYI just so everyone knew who Delwyn was suspicious of. And as for my reply to Quincy, I was calling out Quincy for his poor accusation, not so much defending Foorth in particular. Had it been any other player, I would have done the same: it was the accusation that I had a problem with. I know what it's like to be accused of something due to not being online at a particular moment (the end of the day in particular). I don't know which timezone Foorth lives in, but I think it's stupid to accuse anyone due to them being absent. If they're online but don't comment, that's a different matter entirely. Just my take on things. Isn't the definition of fishing asking for information that will help the scum? Supposing I am scum, what would I have gained by asking that question? You're going to tell us today anyway; the scum don't benefit if the information is revealed earlier. Therefore I wouldn't call that scummy fishing. Point taken though, I need to be more patient in future. Good observation: I have accused you and Quincy. Well done. Mafia is about accusations. As for "sort of defending", I assume you're harping Molly's question about Foorth, but as to the other person.... I can only assumed you're talking about Duke, and I would hardly call mentioning his name a defense. You're pulling things out of nowhere. Ping. Tracker? What do you mean? Who or what comes from the Tracker? I jolly well hope you mean Blocker, because if you've gone and accidentally revealed another town role to the scum then you're an idiot

Avalanche grunts in satisfaction as he lands a blow. Shaking his head to remove the fog clouding his mind, he stabs at Tito from the front row with Frostbite, "You'll pay for... that!"

Yes, agreed. You can think what you like. I was genuinely curious as to whether he was joking or not, and if he said that he was legitimately suspicious of Elijah, then I intended to call him out for that. I can alleviate this concern by pointing out that if what you say is true, and I am scum and hatched a plan with Anthony to deflate the situation, then why did Anthony dodge my question and not confirm that it was a joke for a long time? Surely if that was the case then he would have jumped at the opportunity to clarify his position? Has the block caught another scum or not? Interesting that you single out Foorth out of the four names mentioned. Why him in particular and not any of the others. If Foorth was online and didn't switch votes, it is a legitimate concern. But since this is a game played by people in widely differing timezones, it may well be that he was asleep/switched off at the time. Wow, this came out of nowhere. I don't recall you ever expressing a suspicion of me anywhere in the game Can you please clarify exactly what you find suspicious, and I'll try to answer your queries. And you should probably look at my reply to Dink's post as well. A few questions, good Doctor: 1) You said this seems suspicious. Who are you referring to, myself or Woodcock? 2) I believe you have mixed up Woodcock and Duke's names, since you have quoted Woodcock's post. 3) I didn't ask a question regarding the logic behind the ping: that's only what Woodcock has accused me of. I made a fluffy role-playing comment referring to Foorth being a robot. And even if I hypothetically did do what Woodcock is accusing me of, I don't get how it's scummy at all. Oh la la!

In the same vein, Delwyn claimed to be suspicious of Foorth to me via PM. Just FYI. Nice to hear that. Two in two days would be absolutely brilliant For some reason I find this scummy. We both know that had Mike survived the night, he would have been lynch target number one today (barring any condemning cop reports, of course). You're trying to somehow .... I don't know, make yourself look townier by 'supporting' Mike post-death. It just feels forced.

Avalanche repeats.

Clearly Mike's kill was the vig's work; I can't imagine the Scum taking out such a highly suspected Townie, oh la la! As for Delwyn, I'm sorry to see her go. She'll be missed. Not sure why she was killed, but I for one had her at the top of my town-list before her untimely death. Good to know that our faith in Molly and the unknown cop isn't misplaced

I did get it, and loved it! Plus I modded a third Dalek and Doctors #9 and #10 to join them

Avalanche grins as he smashes the ray aside with a powerful sweeping blow. He repeats his attack.

I'm hoping to get that too.

Avalanche switches targets to Ray from the front row. Annie, if Cobra is down then can you please go for Tito? I can't for three rounds.

"Oops..." Avalanche realises he may have gotten slightly carried away with his new Raider abilities; looking rather sheepish, he repeats his attack.
