The group awake to find the results of a Marine perimeter sweep: No news. Noone is missing.
Maybe the Aliens are still figuring out ways into the Colony?

Burke suggests singing a song. Perhaps more prudent would be sending someone to the uplink...it appears Lydecker doesnt have a clue what to do...

By LaceSensor

This is a variant of the online game Mafia Scum.
This Game features four distinct factions:

1 – Colonial Marines:
• Corporal Hicks, Private Hudson and Private Vasquez.
• Can communicate via PM (and any other 0-1 communicable marines)
• 1 per night phase nominated Motion Tracker (identify faction)
• 1 per game, night phase nominated Seal the Door (protect all marines, can only be done while Hicks is alive, negates Motion Tracker).
• All communicable Marines immune to FaceHugger
• Night Actions to be sent via Hicks to Mod. If Hicks dead, tell Mod who is next in command and liaise via them.

2 – The Company:
• Carter J. Burke, plus 1-2 Associates
• Can communicate via PM
• I per night phase Burke nominate any Company player to either Study (identify role) or kill.
• Night Actions to be sent via Burke to Mod. If Burke dead, tell Mod who is next in command and liaise via them.

3 – Aliens:
• Queen plus 1 Warrior
• 1 per night Queen can order Warrior to Recon (identify faction) or Kill. OR
• 1 per night Queen can plant FaceHugger.
• Facehugged player can either rolecall, or hide and become a drone. Drone Matures to Warrior after next day phase.
• If Queen dies, Warrior can mature over 2 day phases to replace Queen. If >1 Warrior, moderator chooses one. While Queen absent, Warrior can only Kill.

4 – Dumb-Ass Colonists:
• 4 – 8 players who need to survive.
• Some have special actions:
o Ripley – 1 per night phase RoleBlock. If RB Rebecca Jorden, becomes Newt and can PM each other.
o Bishop – 1 per day phase, PM question YES/NO via Mod to Hicks and Burke.
o Rebecca Jorden. Can become Newt if discovered by Ripley. If Ripley dies, you die.

Primary Win Conditions:

• Dumb-Ass Colonist: Survive till the end
• Marines: all Aliens dead, Marines and Colonists kill The Company
• The Company: Company Members kill all Colonial Marines. Max 2 Colonists alive. At least one Alien is alive.
• Aliens: everyone else is host or dead.

Secondary win conditions
• Gorman – CN20 three players. Only 1 of 3 can be a Colonist.

• Hicks the Lover - Motion-Track Ripley

0-1 Players
• Corporal Deitrich. Non communicable Colony Doctor. 1 per night phase, PM name of player to protect from FaceHugger actions. Win Condition Marines.

• FenceSitter: at start of game PM moderator choice of Dumb Ass Colonist or Alien Drone. Win condition defined by faction joined.

Night Action Order

• Roleblock > Investigate > FaceHugger > Kill

A song! Can I suggest a stirring chorus of the official 'Hadley's Hope' anthem, "Why the fuck did I come to this shit rock?"?

Okay no death means a hugger attack ?
so does anyone want to admit being targetted ?

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 10:06

It's very likely that someone has been hugged. If it was a success I wouldn't expect them to come forward though.

Not sure who I suspec t the most. I was very wary of kalmar and Bobby, but Runcle's lack of being a bad guy makes me less inclined towards sending them out on 'the long walk'.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

A hug action seems almost definite, with a little luck they targetted one of the marines - although that means they've identified one of the marines.

The Rev Owen · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 10:40

Yeah, but given the odds - if I've read things right - it's likely the facehug was a success. We could have been lucky, but we better not assume it.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38487

Has anyone 'slept in'? Has anyone eaten a really big breakfast?

GazChap · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:03

OOC: I'm not very well today so please don't take any quietness on my part as anything other than me simply not being here to post. I'll try and get in and read through goings on later today.

definitly. We always have to assume (yes, I know) that the odds are against us.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11844

i think we have to assume there was face hug. I am still suss of craster and curio. Both responded to protect the other yesterday. However, curio's attack on kalmar still looks like he was hiding something. That said, kalmar was pretty suss also.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 12:07

Mmm, well. We know nothing more. Back to list making panicing and getting nowhere.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38487

I'll go get a coin...

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 12:22

This is an odd game, as normally the town has a unifying win condition that they just need to defeat the bad guys. In this version there's no unifying win condition at all, so given that I just have to survive until the end I don't care much about the Marines, who don't even have guns anyway.

In fact, the best thing would probably be to get facehugged, since the aliens likely have 4 people on their side already (Queen, Warrior, Fence Sitter, Facehugged). Either that or just sit in a corner and hope the Company can take out the Aliens/Marines and leave me alone!

Morte · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 12:34

That's defeatist talk you coward.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38487

No, I'm with Curio. Us DACs can just stay out of the way and try not to get lynched or face hugged.

PROTECT ME, OH HUNKY MARINES!

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Not really true. The colony have to kill all colonists bar two, and the aliens have to kill or hug all colonists.

So unless you really like your odds as one of those two, or that the aliens won't kill, we should be supporting the marines and wiping out the others.

Company, Shirley?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Sorry, yes.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 12:54

There's not a great deal the Marines can do, is there? They've got a baddie-locating device that can give false negatives (if they find a DAC, he/she could easily be an alien by the next day) and if they find a bad guy they're unlikely to tell anyone (at first) because they'll immediately get killed by The Company.

The best thing we can do as DACs is just lynch someone, and hope we survive.

So, blindly picking...

Is now the time to point out the glaring schoolboy error of Kalmar yesterday?
Reading back through some of his other posts, I reckon he is a pawn of the pig-dog capitalist company to boot...
So, [vote: Kalmar]
You knows it makes sense!

I am lost, going to re-read day one to see if there are any particularly dodgy people who stand out, but at the moment i am happy to sit around in a nice big circle and sing Stayin' Alive with the lot of ya.

Mr Dom · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 14:15

His 'obsequious' reply to Runcle's roleclaim, which kind of missed the whole win-condition for DAC's.
I don't buy the 'oh, I had rule-blindness' as the first thing a genuine DAC would have done would be to check the win-conditions...

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 14:17

I see where you're coming from, but if we voted for everyone that made a mistake, our days would be very short. Both myself and SDG make a mistake with the votes yesterday.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38487

and I voted for Runcle at the end just to feel powerful and in control.

That was a m istake with total number of votes though in my case- was it not the same with you? Mistakes over the rules are slightly different. A mistake over a general rule or order of night actions or something is fairly easy to make but a mistake over your own personal win condition is harder since it is essentially the only thing you read prior to the start of the game.

Yeah, we made the same mistake. I must admit I hadn't noticed that the win condition had changed last game either, in fact I didn't read the rules as they'd been the same for the 'townies' every other scum game we've played. So I only ever read the win conditions for the other ones.

Mr Dom · **Posted:** Mon Jan 25, 2010 14:46

Hmm.. interesting defence by GJ, I would go as far as to say that Kal & GJ are in cahoots, and SDG is not one of them

well lets get a wee vote started to see whats what. We have ages until this day ends which is great so I say we start pushing people to see what happens.
I am just trying to decide who to vote for, I think I'm suffering from a 'bleeding effect' from the last game because I'm finding this hard to type but...

Yep, I did vote for Runcle, twice. First cos you need to vote for someone, and it 'shakes the tree to see what falls out' as it were. Finally, when I was convinced he was a DAC, there was no time to lynch anyone else (i.e. YOU), so better a DAC than a goodie power role.
I have no hard evidence, and it's too early to draw conclusions from voting patterns, so it's the little slips in character which can give the baddies game away that we're looking for.
Grim.. seems like a good judge of these things, so would be nice to get his thoughts on the matter...
