Holy cow, sorry folks, I too got distracted today. My apologies.

Well, as everybody has said, there isn't much to go on. Frankly I don't see much in Pod's behavior that warrants voting. Baring the push for no lynch, he seems to be acting normal, even down to the quotes. The desire for no-lynch is partially understandable given that we have no info, even if ultimately misguided. I'll refrain from voting though, for now, given how close he is to being lynched. 

With less than 1 hour to go, this doesn't make sense GNiPs. We get absolutely nothing from a no lynch other than one of us dead tomorrow. We need votes to help us in the long run.

Those of you on the fence need to get off of it.

@Lord Preyer

Say something, do something. We need input for this final hour.

So you want me to vote and possibly condemn a man before he has time to defend himself? I grant you there is not much time, but I was hoping to allow Pod a chance.

I am not advocating a no-lynch, simply saying his proposal makes sense from a certain point of view. It is wrong, but not by itself lynch-worthy. Still, with time running out:

#vote Podracer

Also, @EbonHawk : how exactly does the voting work? Is it majority of votes cast by day's end, or majority of possible votes at day's end?

Is it one # or 2? I’m starting to get lost, or is it any as long as there is a #?

Good point, it is two:

##vote PodRacer

Gnip you are spelling madaghmire wrong!

Time for first day is up. Going to reread through the thread now as i've been out for the day.

Day 1 closes and some odd introductions have been made, it seems Podracers force levitate showboating won him a few watchers and piqued curiosity within the halls. The instructors begin to usher you towards the dormitories, ready to rest up for tomorrow. Remember this is a Sith academy you sleep in so maybe best not to close both of your eyes tonight.

Vote Count:

@PodRacer - (5) Cninja, Mad, Cal, Vis, Gnips

@Madaghmire - (0)

No lynch - (1) Pod

10 players, 6 to hammer.

MandoMoose voted for pod but didn't #, make sure all votes cast are preceded by #vote

On Gnips question, is all votes at the end of the day, unless someone gets hammered before the end, at which point the day ends.

Night 1 begins.

Fellow Sith - the Internet is a Lie. I tried to vote No Lynch but it didn’t post. I will investigate who sabotaged my communications array and avenge myself accordingly.

I'll let you off with a warning because your new ;) no posting at night, or...

that said, find the culprit and exact sweet revenge for bringing down your internet

After nightfall and following the guards rounds, Moose sneaks out of his dormitory to explore the ancient Sith tombs and ruins surrounding the academy

DON'T EDIT YOUR POSTS.

Rules shall be enforced with a general warning the first time they are broken, then a modkill. Unless the breach is serious (quoting a PM, for example) in which case modkill comes instantly.

What's this game like?

I'm looking for as many players as I can get. Each "Day" will last 48 hours after the first day which is an EbonHawk 24hr, and each "Night" will last 24 (or until all night actions are in, whichever comes first). Each day you will need to find and vote to kill the threats to the TOWN. You can do this by typing "##Vote PlayerName". You only get one vote, so if you vote again it changes your vote to another player. You can also "##vote no one" and skip your lynch for the day if the majority agrees.
After the day ends, if a player has a majority of votes they are hammered and it becomes Night. If no player has a majority of votes there is no lynch. While most people turn in for the night the SCUM become active and cause mayhem. Fortunately some of you may be better equipped for this than the average being and have your own strengths that come into play at nightfall.

A NOTE: Flavor in texts, should they be included, are relevant to the game, but mass claiming to root out scum through discrepancies in flavor wording is pointless and will lead you nowhere!!

What If I am not Playing?

You should play. But if you really insist on not playing, then don't post in the threat. PM me if you want a link to the observer chat.

How do I win?

Read your role PM, it will tell you what you need to do to achieve victory!

Copy from Biggs' post, roles being randomised now.

No more night posting, or editing of posts. After this night ends, will have to bring the hammer down if it happens again :(

All actions are in:

The hum of a lightsaber wakes up the dorm, Vis lays bisected in his bed void of life, the culprit no where to be seen.

If you didn't appreciate how valuable becoming Darth Malaks apprentice is you do now. Either way I've heard the Academy head Yuthura Ban is pleased someone is taking the trails so seriously, however one must be a Darth themselves before they can bend the rules, power brings privilege.

Due to the escapades of last night, today has been brought forward.
*All students please report to the outside assembly area, physical trails start now*

Day 2 starts now: 48hours.

Gonna take a more in depth look later, but quick hits;

Ebon, I never actually input a vote for pod. I intended to, so I’m not really complaining, but still.

Moose in his illegal night post claims to have been moving about last night.

The only even moderately contentious interactions Vis had were with ninja and pod. Pod being a vote, ninja being pretty much banter.

Has Vis played mafia much before, and if so, is he particularly good?

yeah vis is a good player and understands setups too. Thats a bit of a loss for town.

Moose did you have joyous evening of sneaking about?

So where do we go from here? Do we continue pressuring Pod? He was, after all, the only one Vis showed any hostility toward, and he never did get back to us with a defense. Or do we look at the non-voters?

And yeah, Moose, what was that about concerning wandering around (unless it's a role, in which case, shh!)?

Sorry guys still unsure of what it is I’m supposed to do/say, I PMd but got no response so here goes.

*Moose slips in through the back doors of the great hall, surprised as to what all the commotion is about. Has someone reported his abscence through the night? He tucks his Rucksack in his hiding spot behind a loose brick in the wall and joins the group*

Ok, so here's my out of character take:

1. I didn't vote not because of lack of interest, but because the 24 hours set by the GM finished at my 3am. A similar thing will happen again this day. As much as I love you people, I am not getting up after midnight to play forum games - sorry. My interest and devotion has limits.

2. There is no actual rule about night posting - just a rule about posting after hammers and day-kills. Since neither happened, the rules don't apply - or need to be changed to make it clear to those of us obsessed with rules as written (on an Armada forum? probably everybody).

In game:

Of the 10 players, six voted for Podracer (although due to an error one vote was not counted). This indicates to me that Podracer is not the bad guy - if he had been a bad guy (I can't say Sith, since we are all Sith? I guess?) then the other bad guys would have started a new bandwagon to save him.

Of the four who did not vote Podracer - LTD (says he is Australian/sleeping), LordPreyer (internet problems, says voted no lynch), Podracer (was the accused, voted for Madaghmire), and Madaghmire (who indicated a plan to vote for Podracer after work, then did not vote - presumably still at work).

So, that means (in my thinking) the bad guys are in the following list:

CaribbeanNinja

The Jabbawookie

Caldias

Visovics (except he is dead)

MandalorianMoose

GhostofNobodyIn Particular

I assume there are at least two bad guys, and probably three.

My thinking is that the bad guys wouldn't want to start a lynch thread, but would be happy to jump on board one. By this logic I think it's The Jabbawookie, then Caldias. I doubt MandalorianMoose is bad since he failed to vote correctly - evil is typically competent... (jokes) and also he posted (against the assumed rules) about sneaking around, which a baddie is unlikely to do.

And GhostofNobody in Particular is likely on the bad list as well, since he put in the (in his mind) hammer blow.

So, all of that said, I think the baddies are The Jabbawookie, Caldias, and then MandalorianMoose.

And, given that I'll be working most of the day and then sleeping when things heat up:

##vote The Jabbawookie.

*LTD mutters under his breath, punches a wall, and stares in silent rage at everyone*

We are in the best of all possible worlds here - we've had a solid 6 votes and not lost an innocent person.

D'oh!

That should be:

don't worry 24hrs are only for day 1, all days are now 48hrs as said above :)

Thanks!

Of course, 48 hours still ends at 3am... just a day later.

Another point: Vis feels like he was silenced because he was skilled. That would cast suspicion on the veterans here.
