Scouty

What ?

So, for most of the day, Ensign Williams (swils), Ensign York, (Flare), Wilder (fhomess), Harper (Dragonator), and Francis (AwesomeStar), haven't contributed a lot today, and what they did contribute was pretty much pointless. Can't say this says very much, as I don't know if they're busy working around the ship or not, but more than half of the day has gone by. I feel that we may be making a similar mistake today like our first time in the sims and try to vote someone off for a slip that's not very condemning. It seems like we're just trying to find something that truly may not be there to justify a vote .

I really don't see Mandel's actions very condemning. They're maybe a bit confused, but his forwardness today doesn't scream scum. Same with everybody else that has been vocal today. I bet at least some of the scum are lying low, so maybe we should try and target those people? Not that that's the correct format for voting, anyway...

Reading through the thread, you are right. I recognize that things are different this time around, though I didn't mean to suggest that we're going against the same thing than in the sim. Though I can't imagine there being a huge difference, right? 7 Scum is a high number of scum. Unless you mean with conversions, but we don't really have to worry about that too much unless it actually happens, which it might not. I figure the current number is probably 5, maybe 4. I don't see any compelling evidence against you, besides your attitude. I guess we'll continue a bit of bickering and then in the end kill all the Purists together ! Unvote: Second Officer Lieutenant Commander Andrew Gordon (Scubacarrot)

I don't know what you mean by "I have been hearing anything from 4 to 7" ( ), but you're right that sharing our information is not only useful to the scum. Town can benefit from knowing our weapons. However, it's clearly a bad idea because we can expect that we have what we've had in the past, give or take. Listing those out in the open really only serves to provide an exact list for the Purists to strike targets out and focus their attack plan, giving them more of an edge than without such a list. It's an in-conceived plan and it's either scummy or naïve. Just because it seems like you've been wanting it, I'll Vote: Second Officer Lieutenant Commander Andrew Gordon (Scubacarrot). I suspect I'll unvote you later on, since I'm not convinced if you're really a Purist, but we'll see.

I like the discussion that is happening right now. It's much better than the one in the simulation where we screwed up pretty badly. Let's keep it up! Even though it is a lot of yapping. That's a good explanation of the situation. The only thing that irks me about is that you could be lying regardless. It's so easy to just say something, and saying it right can be very influential. I mean, you provide a good motivation of "having no risk/nothing to hide" in pming so early. However, you could just be hiding your true motivations under that pretense. You say there is no risk, but maybe there actually is and you've tried it? I'm not really accusing you or anything, it's just something I want to pick at. These Purists are very devious, so we must look at all angles in order to catch them.

Well, we better get this ship flying soon before we lose our minds before we even journeyed one inch

We appear to suffer from Grineitous, too. Just look at all our faces, the same grin *oh2*

I know it sounds contradictory, but I just don't float that way, yo. It's a good thing this isn't a movie, so everybody's not going to die

Contracting part of this ship through the JimButcher Corporation (especially in their Werewolf Shipyard) was not the wisest choice, but all it needs is a little pushing down from our engineers and those cracks should be sealed. I don't have a wife and kids.

I thought you watched the movies? Everybody has a wife and children.

I'd like to remind you that this is not some science fiction movie or book. This is real life. This ship is made out of pure ABS plastic. Check out these ABS, best material in the galaxy. I hope you wake up and we can get down to some real flying here, Second Officer. I'll also have you know I brought that last muffin to Captain McTague on the bridge. They're his favorite and I did not want him to miss it because of his hard work. I can arrange to have the kitchen send you a muffin, if you really want it. Though you should watch your shape, there, Gordon, I don't want to bring you back home to your wife and kids the size of a planet.

Wtf are you talking about? I don't know what your problem is Can we work it out so that we're not bickering for the years that we'll be on this ship? Well, I didn't start this conversation, Admiral. I don't know where or why Second Officer Gordon is coming up with this stuff.

I'm not here to make enemies on the bridge

And a poor job you did with these charts. Seriously, you'll have us fly within miles of a sun. I would appreciate it if our first exploration mission didn't end with our fine ship melted into a giant mass of metal soup. Look, you've entered your telemetry off by several thousand kilometers. Captain McTague would throw you off the ship if he saw these course charts. I'm in command of this bridge while the Captain takes his rest in the main rec room and I want things to run smoothly. If you have a problem, let's fix it, not grumble to ourselves about rank. That'll get us nowhere, unless you're one of those League of Purists nuts. I hope the security detail did a good enough screening to stop those looneys from boarding this ship. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to confirm the permissions from mission control for our launch and we can finally begin our exploration of deep space.

I will not have any dissent on this ship! I was an ensign once, many years ago. Look where I am now. Work hard and you'll be in command of a ship one day ! I'll have you wearing a red shirt with spelling like that! I can hear your misspelling from your voice...clearly

Oww, I have got the worst headache. Well, no time to complain, I'll just get back to the bridge, though. I have this weird feeling something bad is going to happen soon, but we must continue with our exploration regardless! You look familiar

But there was no alibi to be destroyed in the first place , at least from my view. It was all ridiculous from the start, so Bob's disclaimer came and had no effect on my choice.

The thing about Flipz's roleclaim is that he never should have made it, because it never would have been believed. Bob had clearly stated the day before that the pictures were jokes and a number of players pointed out this fact in the thread before Bob posted his disclaimer. That may have been the final nail in the coffin, but there were already 50 nails already nailed in.

What a shame. At least it's not totally ruined. I agree with the sentiment that we may keep our same characters since we've grown accustomed to each other's names.

I don't want to comment too much on what you said up there before the Admiral can reply, however, you are not entirely free of fault. The Admiral stated that the Day two pictures were a joke and were not clues. I, for one, would not have believed your role-claim anyway (and I do believe others referenced the Admiral's post on Day Two before the Admiral posted today's clarification.) (As for the writeboard, that's a shame, but there's always the PM system here on EB, so it's not like discussions are hampered by the loss of writeboard)

What? This doesn't make any sense whatsoever! This is a normal sized crowd here and there is no reason to suspect that there are only 4 or five of us (minus Freaky-Hair-Thornby-Scum) are scum! You trying to deny the presence of conversions only makes it the more likely that the scum do have conversions and you're one of them and so you know that it exists. If Jones ends up Purist, and there aren't other obvious choices tomorrow, you'd be a good candidate to go after tomorrow. I'm thinking of two solutions here: 1) You are a neutral cop (which I don't really believe). Keeping you alive may be a help to the town, but it's a liability and you could very well turn around and betray us. 2) You're not a neutral cop, but actually a Purist! You put out this defense to help protect yourself and hope we buy the "neutral cop" story because Jones screwed up and hoped that this ploy would get him out of a lynch. I'd be surprised if Jones turns out town. We'll have some serious questions to ask, but seeing the display from today, it looks like we have nailed our second scum, and possibly a third.

Oh, this again ? Just this statement is enough to begin a lynch on you. Vote: Zachary Jones (Flipz)

It's not that uncommon. It's actually less common here that there is one specified killer. At least that's my experience in these games....of life.

Well, he may be off the hook for a couple days while we test the theory. If it works, then hurrah, we save him to be killed last so we don't have to worry about scum kills until the end. If this doesn't work, then we'll lynch him. We should know his identity if it's proved that he's the killer so that we can keep him in checks and if things go wrong, we know who to get rid of first.
