Be Excellent To Each Other

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

We're on Hoth. It's flippin' cold and there's not even a hollowed out tauntaun to climb in to keep warm.

Worse still, the Empire has been slaughtering people left, right and centre! But wait, there is still hope. The Rebels, with the strength of the Jedi, might be able to turn them back here, and win the war.

A particularly strong snowstorm has caused everyone to crash-land, and now you're all sheltering in a cave. For some entirely strange reason, possibly involving midichlorians, you cannot tell who each other are by your appearances. It's going to be a fight to the death.

Let battle commence!

With 23 players, you need 12 votes for a lynch, or 18 votes for a no lynch to end the day early.

The day will end at 12noon on Wednesday 26th January.

Please read the rules, and note a few minor changes made since they were initially posted (largely to R2-D2 and Jabba).

Rules are a couple of posts down this page - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1148&start=540

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

*narrows eyes*

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Wait - that was an amusing quote, not a roleclaim.

Said by Obi-Wan, Anakin, Obi-Wan again, Luke, Han, Leia, Threepio and Han again.

I think you're fine

With both sides having killing moves, it may be that a nolynch is the way to go.

Note: I don't actually believe that, Zeppo just said that to me in the office and I wanted to wind him up

Actually, that could technically be meta-data. Whoops.

<takes off black cloak>
<puts down lightsabre>
<takes off restraining bolt>
<removes gold bikini>

Mesa founda... <cough cough> Sorry the cold is playing havoc with my throat, it's like a sarlacs maw in there, not that I would know anything about that, I found all this crap outside, does it belong to anyone?

You geek.

Hi.

*snap-hiss* That's enough out of you!

Many bothans died to bring you this post.

This has gotta be the worst Ewokball team line-up I've ever seen.

So, er, why are we fighting?
The cave seems pretty roomy to me.

Apparently this cave has Google access

The rebels seem to object to the capitalist outlook of the current incumbants, which gives beings the opportunity to advance and better themselves preferring their outmoded feudal system; each and every being knowing their place in the heirachal pecking order, the only way to get ahead is to have noble blood.

But anyway.

Would it be worthwhile putting a link to the rules in the first post? Just a thought like...

Who knows, some sort of political trade federation thingyummybob or something, nobody understood it.



I dunno, seems pretty small to me.

I'm keeping them open permanently as a separate tab - very confusing they are.

Ah, planet Druidia. And under that air shield, ten thousand years of fresh air. We must get through that air shield!

Rules now linked in opening post.

Thank you!

Rules FeEx.

Morning,



So Grim...'s someone small (Jawa?) , and Troopers *BIG* (Hutt)



Isnt the code 1234 ?

Oh and I see the counters been updated so

Scum Wars! - Day One
VOTE UPDATE

No votes yet.
With 23 players alive, 12 votes are required for a lynch, and 17 nolynch votes are required to not lynch anybody.

[vote:nolynch]

Doing this makes the bad guys more likely to win. Are you a bad guy?

...
[vote: Trooper]

Good question. I'm not lynching because I'm pretty confident we'll have little to go on today for a lynch - may change my mind later, but unlikely. Why is it more likely the baddies will win this way? Genuine question

Do we ever?

I reckon a no lynch might be interesting, with the amount of scary looking murderer types I can see in this cave.

Lol@Zeppo!

I reckon, even with midlothian, I would recognise Darth Vadar.

I've seen the argument several times, and I've never quite been convinced by the outcome.
It seems to be "But we might hit a good guy" and "Look at the voting patterns!", which a) only a properly newbian bad guy team are going to show themselves up in, and b) we have a good guy team this time, too.

In this game, given the number of roles it is possible we have pretty much two teams and no townies!

I'm a townie.

Note, however, that I have no problem voting for AN BADDIE today.

So, you agree with Zeppo then, Grim...? By saying that we have a good guy team, and that a nolynch would stop us from accidentally hitting a good guy, it kind of makes a nolynch look appealing.

Is this correct:

Skywalker, ObiWan and Yoda know who each other are
Palpatine knows who Vader and Maul are
The Stormtrooeprs know who they are
Han Solo and Chewbacca know who each other are
Lando knows who Han Solo is

?

As well of the risk of hitting a good guy there's a risk of exposing other good guys - e.g. if we targetted a Jedi on day one, I think the others would be forced to argue against it, and that could be picked up by the baddies.

I think I normally agree with a lynch on day one but not sure with these conditions.

We've got a full 24hrs to thrash it out. Unless we get a bandwagon, which seems unlikely.

[vote:sinister agent]

You should all vote for Trooper, after his somewhat unwise "I'm Jabba" comment.

UNLESS YOU'RE EVIL STIH, OF COURSE.

Yes, Stih.

[vote: sinister agent]

The clue is in the name, FFS!

Does this take place after RotJ? I can't even remember how that ends.

Unlikely, half the cast would be dead....

LOL!

Is this your first game, Alarm?

I wouldn't worry too much about the setting or the Role Playing just yet. Just settle in and see how people interact.

And vote for SA. It's funny.

Would YOU be dead?

[vote: unvote] just in case.

Indeed.

[vote:unvote]

Ugh, please, little go on and a little quick to start wanting to lynch!

Gotta say, I'm pretty happy to look suspiciously at Trooper at this point - after all, there aren't any overly large good guys.

Skywalker isn't as good as a vig - with the 'killing non-sith fucks him over' stipulation. I don't think relying on him to take out the bad guys would be a good policy.
