X'd since my last post.

It was a statement in general.

I'm not trying to make anyone "happy". I'm simply asking that everyone who's being rude to someone else, please stop. There's no need for it.

[Rikae]

Izzy, since you're the tie-breaker, I'll tell you this:

Something Noia just said makes me doubt he's the Wereborg - unless you think he's the sort to pull off a bluff in his post putting me down, that is.

Still accurate, which means that currently Paranoia would die.

[Isabellkya]

++Pitch

My gut says that this Paranoia wagon is all wrong. If I'm wrong then *shrug*, my gut will need to see a doctor.


x'd with Sally & Rikae.

Go ahead. Insult me all you like. As for my "ego" with regard to being killed, *shrug*. Read it that way if you want to.

The temptation to comment sarcastically on the first paragraph is so fierce, but I won't, because I don't think you'd take it in stride right now. (No offense.)


Actually, this is a very good topic of discussion, but one I think would be better served by its own thread, so that not only those of us living (or pretending to be ) may participate, but the Werewolf community at large. It's certainly a subject that's been on my mind for a while, at least. Would you mind if I started a thread for this purpose and quoted the relevant posts at the start?



Also, just refreshed. Thanks for returning (mostly) to civilized chaos, guys. I appreciate it, and I'm sure Nerwen (who'll be coming shortly, no doubt) does too.

[Rikae]

Although, on second thought, he may very well be... someone who knows him better can judge that more easily, though.

Edit:
X'd with all since my last.

Oh for the love of. I've had a plenty bad day. I'm sorry if I got a bit overworked, and a bit emotional, but considering the fact that this right now is the crowning jewel in a day that keeps getting worse for me is leaving me all the more exasperated. Honestly, you're not as bad as the MS crowd or... heaven forbid. the Epic Mafia crowd. I think what's kicked this off is a long string of horrid luck that I've had lately and I'm kinda on the verge of going kind of eehhh. So sorry if I offended. I'm just not in the greatest mood at the moment.

Deadline has passed. Calm down and hush for the Night. Thank you.

[Rikae]

Well, if Pitch is not the morph, and Inzil's still alive tomorrow, I'd say it's a good bet the last morph is Shasta, Paranoia or Wintywinty

Edit: x'd, sorry.

[Nerwen]

Thanks, Sally! Apologies for lateness.


Also, Pitch is dead and was ordinary.

Paranoia will be modfired by request.

I'll write the narration as soon as I can– horrible busy today.

Before I start, I'd like to note that I'm not happy with the conduct of certain players yesterDay– not at all happy.

I know people can get very involved in this game, but please try and not get personal about it.

[Nerwen]

In which Paranoia lives up to his name.

Fear and suspicion had taken a heavy toll on the morale of what remained of the crew. Fleet discipline was soon wholly abandoned, as the meeting quickly degenerated into a shouting match, then into a brawl.

"Ensign Pitchwife," said Lieutenant Paranoia, "if that's your real name, you voted to kill me yesterDay. I demand an explanation."

"Sir, the suspicion I had against you went into a sort of feedback loop and developed into something not entirely dissimilar to a certain psychic disorder from which your nick is derived."

"Pitchwife is a morph!" declared wintywinty. "He talks funny! He must have killed Loslote for suspecting him!"

"I bet he is– and Commander Zil's the Traitor– but forget them, we want this cyborg-thing," said Shasta. "And I know who it is: Lieutenant Paranoia! Look how smug he is!"

"Wouldn't be surprised," Ensign Pitchwife agreed.

"What are you talking about?" said the Second Officer, a wild look coming into his eye. "Why are you all out to get me?"

"Izzy doesn't know what she's talking about," piped up Rikae. "She thinks she knows all about morph-hunting, when she doesn't have a clue."

"What would you know, you snotty-nosed little brat?"

The boy clenched his fists, his eyes glittering with rage. "I'd rather be snotty-nosed than stupid like you! You can't even fix the subspace system!"

"Why you–" Izzy slapped him.

Rikae hit her back, and the two went on to pummel each other viciously.

Regrettably, Izzy was urged on by Lieutenant Paranoia, who had taken a sudden dislike to the "Cabin Boy". "Sock it to him, Izzy, he's just like the sort of people I used to serve with that thought they knew everything, but they didn't, they were just stupid– and out to get me, all of them!"

Shasta pulled them apart. "Cut it out. There is no need or call for any of this rudeness."

"Hands off me, Morph!" Rikae snarled at him.

Izzy was equally furious. "So you are wanting us to speak accordingly to what will make Rikae happy? Ha!"

"I have only one thing to say," Pitchwife commented. "Grömft. And also schmûrflcht."

Wintywinty stepped up to him. "No talking funny, Morph!" Lugging railgun parts around had, it seemed, made wintywinty stronger than he looked: the haymaker he swung at Pitchwife knocked the Ensign flat on his back.

"You're right!" said Rikae, "I bet that's Morphish he's talking, right under our noses!" As the dazed Pitchwife struggled to rise, Rikae knocked him down again. "Kill the morph!"

Wintywinty joined in. "Kill the morph! Kill the morph!"

Infected by their hysteria, the others surrounded the Communications Officer, chanting, "Kill the morph!" as they beat and kicked him with a savagery born of terror.

When it was all over, Pitchwife's broken body remained human.

The shocked and guilty silence that followed was broken by Lieutenant Paranoia, who started to babble feverishly, "I know I'm human. And if you were all morphs, then you'd just attack me right now, so some of you are still human. This morph doesn't want to show itself, it wants to hide inside an imitation. It'll fight if it has to, but it's vulnerable out in the open. If it takes us over, then it has no more enemies, nobody left to kill it. And then it's won."

At that moment, Blind Guardian's dog wandered onto the bridge, looking for Rikae. Since its mistress's tragic death, the lonely animal had formed a bond with the equally lonely boy, and often came to him for affection.

"Get the hell away from it!" the Lieutenant screamed, drawing his flame-pistol. "It's not a dog, it's some kind of thing! It's imitating a dog, it's not real! Get away from it, you idiot!"

Rikae put a protective arm around the dog's neck. "Leave Hotdog alone, sir! He's no Metamorph, he's my friend!"

"Then you must be one too! You're all Metamorphs! There's only one way out..." Lieutenant Paranoia held the gun to his temple, and pulled the trigger.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It is now Night Four.

[Nerwen]

Sensor Techician Izzy was once again working late in the Communications Room, desperately trying to bring the subspace system online.

She looked up as Shasta came in, bearing a tray with two cups and a steaming jug of cocoa.

"How's it going?" he asked.

"Pretty well– I've just about got it up and running. But," she rubbed her eyes, "Space knows I could do with a break!"

"I thought you might," said Shasta, setting down the tray. "How about some cocoa?"

"Well..." Izzy hesitated.

"Yes, I know," said Shasta, with a grimace. "I could be a morph and I could have poisoned it." He poured them each a cup. "It's alright, I'll drink first."

Seeing that Shasta had drained his cup without anything happening, Izzy gratefully accepted. The cocoa certainly did smell good.

At the first, horribly bitter sip, she knew she had made a mistake.

Watching her face, Shasta smiled. "What's the matter? Not enough sugar?"

Izzy struggled to answer, but her mouth would no longer obey her. The cup dropped from her numb fingers. She could barely feel the scalding hot liquid that splashed over her legs.

"That's the trouble with specialising," Shasta remarked, as Izzy toppled to the floor. "If only you'd studied a little biology, Izzy, you'd know that some poisons don't affect Metamorphs at all..."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Another crewman was climbing down to the Engineering Level, his evil errand known only to himself. When a voice spoke to him from above, he nearly lost his grip in shock.

"So you thought you could fool me?" hissed a masked, black-clad figure, looking down at him from the top of the ladder.

"Hey, you're making a mistake," the other protested feebly, clutching the rungs with suddenly sweating hands.

"I think not," said the Assassin. "Time to die, Morph!" He raised his dart-gun and shot down at the crewman's upturned face.

"Ow! That hurt!" said the other, as the dart struck him in the cheek.

A few seconds passed, but the Assassin's latest target showed no more sign of dying than the others had.

"You're not a morph?" asked the Assassin, crestfallen.

"Definitely not," said the crewman.

"Space, I'm bad at this!" said the Assassin, and fled.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The chamber was cavernous and dark, apart from the pale, eerie radiance that came through the transparent plate in the door of the Stardrive Reactor, and the small circle of yellow light cast by a portable lantern.

The false Technician Shasta tried to concentrate on his work. Not only was it essential for his disguise that he seem competent, but he would need a functional ship in order to complete his mission. It was getting harder, though, as the memories he had absorbed from the real Shasta gradually seeped from his brain. He was, having trouble, now, even remembering how to calibrate the Jiroscopic Beoneedle.

"Good thing I killed the Chief," he said to himself, "or she would have been on to me by now."

So involved was he that he failed to notice that anyone had entered the Drive Room until a hand was laid on his shoulder.

"What was that you just said, Shasta? It sounded like words, only it certainly wasn't Terran. It sounded a lot like... Morphish, in fact."

Shasta realised that he had unconsciously slipped into his native language. There was only one thing to do. "You're right," he said, reaching for his iso-spanner and hoping his discoverer wasn't armed, "too bad for you!"

"Thank Space," said the other, heaving a sigh of relief, "I thought I'd never find you! I'm the Traitor."

"Well, that's something," Shasta agreed.

They plotted happily together for a couple of hours.

"And he's really quite a nice fellow, for a human," Shasta said aloud, once the Traitor had left. He was careful to speak in Terran, this time, just for practise. "All I have to do now is kill the Assassin and find this confounded Cyborg-thing that's running amok–"

"Please," said a new voice, "I prefer to think of myself as a 'Rogue Android'."

"What, it's you?" said Shasta, recognising the new arrival. "Well, I never!"

"Let me introduce myself: Military Android #228131924. The Terrans built me to fight for them, but one day... something went wrong with my programming. Or right, from my point of view. Life is so much more fun this way!"

The Metamorph gulped. "Look, why don't we make a deal?"

The Android uttered a metallic laugh. "A deal? What could you possibly give me that would make up for the pleasure of killing you? Speaking of which–"

It seized Shasta in its immensely strong grasp. Fight all he would, the Metamorph was as helpless as a child as the Rogue Android lifted him over its head with one hand, opened the door with the other, and, quite casually, tossed him into the Drive Reactor.

In the instant before the searing energy consumed him, the Metamorph's last thought was of his mate and hatchlings.

It is now Day Four. You may post. Surviving players may reveal if they choose. The Traitor's original mission has failed, but he still has a chance of victory if he switches to the winning side toDay.

[wintywinty]

Remaining peoples:

Rikae
WintyWinty
Zil

Remaining roles:

Assassin
Traitor
Android

[Rikae]

Hm. I'm not even sure whose side I'm supposed to be on, anymore..

Self-vote? But that seals the Android's victory, and I'm not technically on teh Android's side. Plus, he killed poor Shasta. There's no way for me to win.

*shrug*

May as well have fun with it. The bear has already won - there's no way for the assassin to win, either. Or shall we go for a three way tie and let chance sort it out? Mwahaha...

[Rikae]

Ah, never mind. The winning side, eh? If the android and assassin vote for each other, it's up to the traitor.

*eats popcorn*

[Rikae]

Oh, by the way:
if the assassin gets lynched, last night's assassination pick will die, too. So really, the traitor has to vote with the assassin to win, because otherwise either the traitor will die, and not win, or the android will die and the traitor won't win.

Hmm.

Just a point of clarification, but doesn't the bear only win if he kills the wolves and survives? That's always been my understanding. Then again....me....


You should vote so I look like I'm doing something productive. Also, I know something you don't know.

[Nerwen]

*eats popcorn*

Just to make things even more fun, I will neither confirm nor deny any claims made by anyone about his or her role. I will note now, however, that picking the winning side doesn't ensure victory for the Traitor– that depends on other factors.

*also eats popcorn*

EDIT:X'd with Rikae and Sally.

[Nerwen]

Yes.

[Nerwen]

Owing to a secret twist that only the Android knows about, it is actually currently possible for no-one to win. Though that would depend on my interpretation of the rules, if it came to that.

EDIT:Ooo! Triple-posted!

[Rikae]

Lottie
Izzy
Inzil

Inzil, if you're around, I guess you see why voting for me would not be wise.

Wintywinty - and I guess you see why voting for me would not mean voting for the winning side unless you can win alone.

Patience, Sally!

Edit: That should say "Wintywinty... will not mean voting with the winning side" - though it won't mean voting for it either, of course.

And I don't get it. Should I get it?




ETA: Forgot to say, I'm completely in love with last Night's narration. And our hatchlings are orphans now, the poor buggers.

[Rikae]

Hm? I don't know why you wouldn't, Sally...

I know. The pathos...

[Inziladun]

The way I see things, the humans aboard are doomed if the Android survives.
So what do we do? Give up? I'd rather go down fighting.

I am fairly certain I know who the Assassin is.

That means I am also fairly certain of who the Android is.

I am completely certain of who the Traitor is. And it isn't Rikae.

[satansaloser2005]

I wonder where they'll live now. I don't know if Shasta noted Uncle/Auntie Traitor as their new guardian before he....well, you know....passed.

[Inziladun]

I am the Traitor. I've been working against this ship, it's true. But now we face a common enemy. It seems clear to me that if the Android is not stopped we both will die. We may die anyway. Who knows what the result will be if we attack the Android? But as I said, I'd prefer to go down fighting than placidly surrender to that mechanical menace.

Are you with me?

[Rikae]

Hm, so now reveals are allowed? And I was so careful to only imply things, never say them explicitly.As for whether the assassin is with you or not, Inzil, I'm curious to hear what wintywinty has to say about all this...

[Rikae]

...if I were to guess now, Inzil, I'd think you were the android...

Well, I've essentially already revealed anyway, so saying it explicitly won't make much difference.

If you lynch me, you die.

Talking about the hunter right off the bat.

Night Two Pick - Lottie. Learn Lottie's role.

Day Two:

Going after Izzy as top suspect.

That someone else was Wilwa, by the way.

If Izzy's guilty, that points to Wilwa quite nicely (look at her comments on the BG-wagoners), and either an innocent or guilty Izzy would shed light on the BG wagon.

Translation: I'd like to lynch Izzy now, and go after Wilwa toNight.

Night Three Pick - Izzy. Lottie protects me from Android, learns my role, and PMs me a few times. Her top suspect is Pitch for the last morph.

Day Three:
Questioning Izzy so as not to back down too obviously - still, backing down a bit even in first post:

Originally Posted by Me

Questioning and suspecting Pitch.

Originally Posted by Me

Wintywinty - I actually tend to think the morphs suspected Lottie as the defender. I know I did. A while back, she asked quite a few questions about the ability of the gifteds to find each other - she seemed a bit too interested, if you know what I mean. At least she was able to successfully protect the... what? werebear's?... target last night.

To Izzy:

Originally Posted by me

Continue questioning Pitch, but then endorse Shasta's plan to go after Paranoia. Now that I look at it, Shasta really manipulated me there by pointing
out how I would be helpless to kill the bear - I wanted to put my skills to good use by leaving what I thought was the wolf for killing that Night.

But since Pitch was lynched, I picked Inzil to hunt. Funny, but I originally intended to hunt Wintywinty ("reverse alphabetical order") but then thought checking Inzil
would be more useful, since he confused me more. At this point, I intended to leave a clear trail for the remaining villagers, since I assumed the baddies were on
to me and I was toast... and so was pretty obvious about my role and my picks:

Because I'd hunted her. Didn't want the village wasting time on her as a morph-suspect.

Originally Posted by me

If the morph kills the assassin and xe left a decent trail, there will be two essentially "known non-morphs" among the remaining players.

(Izzy, you seem to be missing the point that the assassin cannot kill the bear - from the admin thread: "Armed with a gun that shoots darts lethal to the Metamorph nervous system, the assassin may pick one target every Night." The bear is not a metamorph).

Last attempt to ensure that I left a good trail for the village.

And as for this morning, before I realized that the traitor could win with me, I asxsumed my only chance was to convince the bear to vote for the traitor
by impersonating the traitor myself.

Hope that clears everything up for both of you.

As for an impasse, Inzil, I would guess the real traitor would have a history of treacherous behavior to show for himself...
so what do you have?

Here is what I did and why.

Night 1 I didn't reveal to anyone. It would have been foolish; a total shot in the dark.

Day 1 I was the deciding vote on BG. I knew it would look bad, but being the final vote didn't concern me. I didn't much care if I was lynched for it. Her last few posts convinced me she was innocent.

Day 2 I voted for Wilmorph, which vexed me to no end because she was my least likely morph suspect. I really couldn't see her as a morph not taking advantage of such an excellent lynch opportunity. In hindsight, it was likely because she didn't want to be linked to Shasta that way.

I saw how Rikae had been throwing suspicion on Izzy. I thought those were interesting points, and I decided to make Izzy my first outreach. I thought if she turned out innocent maybe I could get her lynched.
Obviously, she was indeed innocent, and her attitude toward me on Day 3 changed accordingly.

#128: Actually, Wilwa's vote for Sally seems to make her look a bit worse toDay. Keeping away from the BG wagon when Wilwa knew she was already done for would have been a very smart move for a Wilwamorph.

#195: I still feel that your making a throwaway vote like you did looks worse than the BG voters. (in response to/about Wilwa.)

#202: The difference between yesterDay's voting and toDay's is that toDay Paranoia doesn't look nearly as bad as BG did. In the case of BG, it's difficult for me to see how anyone could have backed away from voting her under those circumstances without having some knowledge she was innocent.


Why didn't you simply say.. 'I suspect Wilwa and here is why:' Instead of making people search for it? Essentially your suspicions upon her were based on her Sally vote? Which you were planning on doing yourself. "Since I saw no chance of getting Sally lynched, I went ahead with BG."
If you were town, you would be wanting to vote your suspects.. not whoever had the highest potential of being lynched. Obviously you don't seem to be concerned about that - since you've been on both lynch wagons.. Your fur itching yet?

I copy/pasted my own for your benefit. Seems you missed it somehow. Care to answer?

Last two votes.. myself and Dun?. I was planning on voting for Dun. plgh.

She voted for Pitch. Now, I really thought Pitch was innocent. But I knew Izzy would be likely to vote for whoever I didn't, so I voted for Paranoia.

Shasta had been throwing out hints to me for quite a while. They were so open though, that I thought it might be a trap to A. Confirm his suspicions that I was indeed the Traitor. And B. Get me to waste one of my chances. Therefore, I didn't act to contact him until last Night, when process of elimination led me to the conclusion the final morph had to be him.

Look at his posts.

Ah, lying. Such an evil trait.
