The Quorom [BSG Mafia] [TOWN WINS] - Mephisto - 2011-04-21
At the Quorom Chamber, delegates from the twelve colonies - Aquarion, Aerilon, Canceron, Caprica, Gemenon, Leonis, Libran, Picon, Sagittaron, Scorpia, Tauron, Virgon - were joined by senior military and government officials. Potential witnesses were brought before the Quorom to testify about what had occurred the previous night. Debate raged intensely for the duration of the day, and accusations ran wild. When anyone can be a Cylon, nobody can be trusted. Eventually, one voice could be heard over the din. "It was Kurtle!" the person shouted. "I ran into Kurtle last night, as I was on my way back from the washroom. She was coming from the other direction. Just minutes after the encounter, I discovered the body. Ask Cali, she was with me!" Cali nodded her head in agreement. "Kurtle must have done it!" the person said. Murmurs flew around the room. Kurtle was silent.
"Well," President Roslin said. "That is quite damning evidence. Shall we put it to a vote?" The Quorom delegates nodded in agreement. Several delegates placed votes based on their own suspicions, but the majority voted that Kurtle was guilty. Armed guards quickly rushed over and escorted Kurtle into a nearby interrogation room. A single shot was heard, which stunned most of the room into grim silence. The guards came back out, and Admiral Adama walked over to the room. He closed the door.
"The woman you just killed," he nearly shouted, "was not a cylon. I have known her since her military career began. She was like a daughter to me!" Visibly upset, he shook his head. "Our efforts today have been a chaotic waste. In order to ensure this recklessness does not occur again, we must be more prudent tomorrow. Dismissed, everyone." The chamber dispersed in solemn silence, until only Admiral Adama and his son, Lee, were left.
"I can't believe they did that," Lee said as he walked over to his father. "They just killed her!"
"I know, son. It's terrible," Adama replied. "But they're scared. Now that they know Cylons look like human, they don't trust anyone, not even people they've known their entire lives. We need to avenge her death by catching the real Cylons, and killing them - all of them." He began to choke up again, and Lee embraced him in a hug before walking with him out the chamber door.
Kurtle was lynched today.

Admiral Adama was sitting in the cantina, sipping on a cold brew, watching the fleetwide news network. On-screen, D'Anna Biers, a famous reporter back on Caprica, was about to deliver a special report.
Quote:"Hello, and welcome to the 11 o'clock news.
With fear of the Cylons surrounding the ship Lieutenant Kara Starbuck Thrace an innocent woman was killed today. When we asked some of the people who witnessed most of them twitched and said the Cylons we'll get to us while the other half was hard to get an answer out of besides the ones going "We gonna get them Cylon son'of'a'bitc'hes."
Back to you Tom."
"Thanks D'Anna, some pretty creepy stuff happening out there. We'll be back after these commercials."
"BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck. BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck. BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck. BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck. BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck. BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck. BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck. BEHEAD, apply directly to the neck."
"Have you recently lost your job? Are you tried of playing by the rules? Well then you need to call 1-800-Free-Money so that each time someone says you have no job or play by no rules you can just throw free money into their face."
"And we are back. So, D'Anna, I hear you have a bit of new information about Kara Starbuck Thrace?"
"That is right, Tom. After taking to a few of the chefs and maids aboard the ship I have found out that Kara and Admiral Adama were having an affair behind everyone's back. I noticed when I was interviewing some witnesses that he seemed visibly heart broken and in shock. From what I learned from the chefs were that the Admiral was always calling up champagne, strawberries and chocolate to the room, and when the maids where cleaning his room she would still be asleep in bed."
"That is some pretty juicy stuff D'Anna."
"Indeed Tom."
"Well, that is all the time we have for tonight's news. Be sure to join us tomorrow night. This is Tom Voyage and D'Anna Biers signing out."
Adama slammed his drink down on the table, startling the few other customers who'd wandered down at this early hour. How dare they! He fumed. She was like a daughter to me! Don't they have anything better to do than peddle falsified smut stories like that? Everyone on Galactica would, of course, immediately dismiss the story. The Admiral was known for enjoying certain pleasantries from time to time, and as for reports of her sleeping in Adama's bed, she had been. In Lee Adama's bed, on and off for some time now. Everyone on Galactica knew about the relationship that had intertwined Thrace and his son. The rest of the fleet would probably gobble the story up, though. Just what I need, he thought, more rumors and malcontent.Still fuming, Adama stalked out of the bar.
Not seconds after he'd walked out the door, Lieutenant Felix Gaeta,his third-in-command, rushed up to him, practically falling over. "Admiral Adama," he panted, "the Quorom hearing is about to start."
"I know," Adama replied. "I was just heading over there."
"I assumed, sir, but there's something you need to know about first - there was another murder last night. Dr. Gaius Baltar was found dead in his bunk this morning." Baltar? he thought. Can't say I'm upset. But to Gaeta, he said, "This is troubling news. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, Lieutenant. Walk with me to the hearing."
"Thank you, sir. By the way, I just wanted to say that I saw that report and I cannot believe the nerve of those reporters, to trash your reputation like th-" Gaeta was cut off by a low, thundering boom that rocked the battlestar's hull from side to side. "What was that?!"
Adama rushed over to a comm unit and dialed into the command deck. "XO! Status report!"
"Decompression alert, aft decks 8 through 17! It's the water tanks, sir," Colonel Saul Tigh's voice came through the comm unit, scratchy with static. "Somebody blew up the frackin' water tanks! We're going to get rescue teams out there and begin sealing off the forward compartments. FRACK!"
"The hearing can wait, Lieutenant. Come with me!" Adama raced off toward the command deck to deal with this new crisis.
ElectricSix died last night.
Quote:Doctor Gaius Baltar
Youre the smartest person alive. Im not even joking. Granted, theres only about 50,000 humans left in the universe now, but you were already one of the smartest before that. The Cylon invasion just killed off pretty much all of your direct competition. Due to your superior intellect, you figure that its in your best interest to look out for your own best interests, as nobody will understand the crazy pomegranate that you see in your head. Did I forget to mention that you keep hallucinating about this hot blond trick you used to see before Caprica got blown up? And that she just so happened to be a Cylon who tricked you into betraying the entire human race? Yeah, suffice it to say, youre looking out for number one from here on out. That crazy hallucination I mentioned before seems to be omniscient or something, by the way, as she occasionally provides you with information that would be impossible to know otherwise. So thats helpful. Youre also able to use your considerable reputation to influence people into doing what you tell them to do. And, if it comes right down to it, youll straight up kill someone if it means self-preservation. You are neutral, and win if you are the last remaining player. You have the following abilities: Will receive a flavor result about a random player each night. Can PM me each night to redirect [Target 1]s action onto [Target 2]. Can perform one, and only one, nightkill which may or may not have insane priority. Be careful about when you choose to use that last one.
Additionally, an explosion has rocked Battlestar Galactica, damaging its main water storage tanks. Due to the massive water loss, the entire ship has been placed on emergency rations. Each player may place one, and only one vote today. You may not change your vote.
It is now Day 2. Day 2 will end at 9:15 PM EST on 4/23. Have at it.

What is that from yonder window as it breaks? A neutral? A filthy third party trying to take us down? I must happen to wonder about these events and to muse over the thought of there being more of this dastardly third party.
And who dares to knock upon the door of the Galactica? What fool calls forth their own death at the hands of an angry hungry mob?
The Quorom [BSG Mafia] [TOWN WINS] - Holypie - 2011-04-22
Well that was expected. The mafia's off killing the most active players. I can't say I support the strategy, it means that this game will end up unfun and inactive, but hopefully not.

Hey Synthesist, you could've mentioned you were in, like, a different time zone like 4 mafia games ago

I'm gonna start of voting, I feel this is a good decision based on my knowledges of Game Theory.
[Vote] ChaoticCJ
For my own reasons.

[B][Vote] ChaoticCJ[B]
For my own reasons.
You must be pretty confident to place a vote so rashly...anyways since Doctor Gaius Baltar is dead I guess that make me the smartest person alive. I hope that clears up any suspicion about me.

It is a great strategy, if the mafia is active. Regardless, I would like to see if anyone has any information or maybe a good guess before I cast my vote.
The Quorom [BSG Mafia] [TOWN WINS] - Holypie - 2011-04-22
Yes, it's the most effective way for mafia to win. But that can be prevented if everyone is active, right? =D!?!?!
The Quorom [BSG Mafia] [TOWN WINS] - NoJobNoRules - 2011-04-23
One vote without changing? Ouch.
Shidoshi, mind sharing those "reasons"? Otherwise, I might as well have enough reason to suspect you as mafia since you're targeting ChaoticCJ without being able to change your vote.

Couldn't it be good for an inactive mafia as well, since we spent our first lynch on an inactive? Like pressuring us to essentially vote each other off. Or maybe a mixed mafia as well. pushing to kill inactive in day an killing actives at night. I don't know maybe it doesn't say anything i guess it goes for all mafia games. Im new at this anda bit tired so maybe i'm just seeing things that aren't there. But i don't know a push to kill of actives or inactives could just go either way for the mafia i guess it is something to be wary of.

Shidoshi said game theory. but also ditto what no job said.
Holding my vote til i get some sleep.

The reasons for voting ChaoticCJ are small, I just feel that he has better chance to be mafia than other people by way of some things he posted.
As for game theory:
In a game where people vote for something consecutively and can't change their vote, casting your vote first is normally more powerful since the next voters have to take in account your vote now (for example, the last voter would never vote on someone with no votes at all because it would make no difference, his vote can only decide between the ones the first voters already chose). Voting last gives a false sense of power because you are giving "the last word" about the matter, but since everyone has the same vote power it really doesn't change much.
For those reasons I voted first and voted who I did.
Also, people shouldn't be scared of voting. It's the only power everyone has and it's a strong indicative of your opinions and alignment. Of course there will be wrong lynches and such, but simply not voting is leaving the decision to the people most interested in swaying the votes, the mafia.

Well, if ChaoticCJ suddenly roleclaims doctor or something, we're screwed aren't we?

I don't understand how that's related to my post at all. Though I have to say that roleclaim would have interesting results.

I meant ChaoticCJ*. Damn.

[COLOR="green"]A one vote only day is a way to force people to have to say things about their role before they hit close to majority, for fear that they would become locked in otherwise.
The being said, I believe CJ is trying to imply he's a vigilante who took care of E6. Feel free to correct me if I'm overstepping my boundaries on what you said.[/COLOR]

Sorry to say, but I am not the vigilante. I am pretty sure that the mafia killed E6. Either way, it was a good kill if it was the vigilante.
I am probably going to forced to say my role this round, this mystery around me has pretty much made me tonight's kill. If no new information comes around in the next hour or two I will roleclaim.
octopusprime Wrote:The last smartest guy seemed like a bastard.Just because he was corrupt doesn't mean I am. But I do see your point.
May I suggest switching our attention to Infection and xBTAx who have not posted yet, so we don't end up having an inactive silent mafia.

Is this some type of hint towards NoJobNoRules?
