Post subject:  Alien Scum - Day Four
Day Four dawns, and we're missing people again... and I'm quite busy so might nto describe as much as usual.

We're missing Goddess Jasmine.

Because she's dead.

A brief look around her house shows some Stonecutter's literature, and a book on interesting handshakes.

Goddess Jasmine was a Masonic Townie.

Everyone else seems to be... no, wait, we're one down. It's that high falutin' fella who lives in the penthouse apartment.

The town rush there, to Bluecup's apartment.

He's not there.

Because he's dead.

His plsuh interior design is composed of constellations, and astrological charts abound. There's a picture of an alien sweetheart and a book on making friends.

Bluecup was the Benevolent Alien.

A blood-curdling scream pierces the morning.

"They did it... they really did it..."

Everyone turns to see the ashen face of zaphod79. Tears strem down his face and he runs towards the nearest window, smashing through it and falling all the way down to his death. Stupid penthouse apartment.

Upon racing down to check his body, the townies find an identification badge.

Zaphod79 was Agent Mulder

With 14 survivors, 8 votes are needed for a lynch and 11 no lynch votes for a lack of lynching.

Day Four will end when a course of action is decided upon, or at Midday on Tuesday.

No, that's daft. Scully should take a stab in the dark and hope, as if she chooses a townie no harm will come.
So yes, everyone should vote for Morte.

Whoah, folks. Without wishing to cast aspersions on Grim..., can I emphatically suggest that we let Morte reply, and let anyone else who may have been contacted by the BA (if Grim... is lying) speak up before we do a lynch?

That's almost pointless, Mr Suspicious. If I am lying, I'm fucked tomorrow, because everyone finds out the truth as soon as that rope goes tight.

Hang on - I should add. I believe Grim..., to be honest, as he's not been suss so far, and Morte's not done anything to mark himself out otherwise. If Grim... is a baddy, have we actually got any good townie roles left that the baddies could have dsicovered and be trying to get rid of? I'm not sure we do, do we? Can someone who's read the rules let me know. Ta.

Scully. She's basically our only killing role now, at least if I'm reading the rules right. And not including lynching, obv.

She will kill if she discovers an alien too, 'cos Mulder ain't around to stop her any more.

I suspect, however, that I'm fucked tonight.
So I should probably let you know that I'm the Mannequin Maker. I roleclaimed on Day 1, if you look at my posts closely. I've protected (uselessly, it seems):
Night 1: Myself (which I was then told I couldn't do again)
Night 2: Mr Dom
Night 3: Craster (bah)

If Morte doesn't turn up dead tomorrow, we won't know if Scully believed you or not. Maybe Scully would investigate you instead. Whereas if we lynch Morte now and he isn't an alien, you're clearly on the block next. Which makes me think you're probably telling the truth.

Devil's advocate, consider you could be an alien trying to get us to lynch a townie. Max aliens in the game is 5. If we lynch Morte and the have two more deaths overnight, minimum vote for a lynch tomorrow could be as low as 6. We'd then lynch you. Aliens would be close to controlling the vote then, but not quite have it, and that assumes the mafia kill a townie and not an alien.

I think it's unlikely Grim... is lying, therefore. Like Cras though I think we need to hear from more people and I think we need to hear from Morte before we rush a vote. Remember, there are lots of bad guys out there that might be bold enough now to start block voting.

If I'm reading the rules right, scully investigates someone each night, and if they turn out to be a alien, she kills them immediately. Hmm. Not been picking well so far, has she?

So if Grim... is evil and lying, that means he knows Morte is Scully - otherwise why would he be singling Morte out? Morte's done nothing to suggest that he's anything at all, and has been keepign very quiet.

No, not having that. The Benevolent Alien can only pass information off on to a simple townie apparently, which I take to mean not any powered townies.

But either way - if you hang me, then you'll know I'm telling the truth, and Morte will die either overnight or the next day. So I'm happy enough to get lynched today.

He is now. You were inferring that Scully wasn't very good as she hasn't killed any aliens. She hasn't had a chance to do that until the next night phase. So she couldn't have done.

You berk.

GazChap's interpretation is how I read the rules too.
the rules wrote:
Unfortunately, you're a beginner in the ways of the psychic, and so can only pass on information to the simple mind of a Townie. Should you try to pass on information to anyone else, they will not receive it.

Any of the townsfolk (non Mafia, FBI, Alien) can receive a message from BA. So the Cop, Mannequin Artist or Photographer would be able to receive psychic info. As they are townies.

Because you could protect her once she's roleclaimed, I think.

Because you are probably going to get killed tonight, which means our most important role, Scully, cannot be protected overnight.

If we're lucky, the FBI agents have already identified an alien or two (three would be way to much to hope for). If so, Scully might now have more targets than she has time to kill them, and thus might have to do a roleclaim to reveal the information and get the aliens lynched. As such, keeping her alive the night after her roleclaim might have been very useful, so we could lynch one alien and she could kill another.

But the baddies know who you are and can kill you, so she's stuffed again after tonight.

If you'd kept quiet and she'd roleclaimed, she coudl go on a klilling spree and be protected by you.

The problem is that we didn't know if there was a Mannequin Maker or not, so a roleclaim by Scully could've been suicide.
