Also, I don't know if Chief being injured will impact his effect on your medical work, we might even be less effective than last time.

I would suggest we research defense first, I'd rather not be the ones screaming when we get the comms working. As for engineering, I don't really see any of those as a priority -- do we know if communication will do anything until we fix the communication?

I would assume not. So I think improving the communicators is worthless for today.

Bingo.

This is why, for the time being, I've decided to go in on improving the generators.

This seems a cut and dry vote. I wonder if it's worth putting extra workers on the government facility to make sure it isn't sabotaged?

Vote Next Project - Medical Facility
Vote Action - Next Project

I like how this game goes so far :)

Timmae don´t forget to send via PM to EF the decision...

Narcizo wants Offense
Sharkn 20 wants Defense
Timmae wants Defense

As far as I readed is 2vs1 of the science research team and mostly defense from the outside. I will accept any option, can´t wait to find what a good improvement could produce in the team!

Defense wins championships.

Yeah, I don't think it's safe for us to go out exploring at all until our house is in order, so I think it should be defense all the way. Especially because it might aid us in defending against the inside intruder. We don't need to give them any offensive firepower.

Yeah!

so there are a couple things i know

1. i am hungry
2. i dont like the shady "i am awesome but cant say how" gimmick that GoldenEagle is laying down. he should know better than to only give pieces of information. There is no point in bragging about his skills and how he should have gotten elected, since there is no mechanic we know of that can change leadership roles. (also, what he is saying is almost too good to be true, which usually means it is BS in WW world)
3. i am hungry
4. right now, we have to survive...to do that, we need to have food, shelter, and defense.
5. i am hungry

i dont know how to structure my vote to get defensive systems/technologies on line as soon as possible (hoping the biodome yields food tomorrow)

Boy, the drama continues... keeping an eye on the CR/Thomkal dynamic.

I have adequate medical skills.

Happy to either contribute to the physical work of building or to providing care for CR or Danny.

Is that a possibility? EF said you can pick three, didn't think more was an option.

Project: Medical Center
Priority: Collect Supplies

I continue to vote to collect supplies because I imagine it as giving us a better base to work with.

well being Sheriff you know I would like you to concentrate on offense and defense. Defense could provide us a way to protect ourselves from the stowaway (like with armor) or deter them (sensors, alarms etc,).

Offense could provide us with much needed weaponry.

I would prefer improved communications, but you may be right about having to fix them first. in game terms I think improving them could mean PM rights.

I would favor generator over science center.

Isn't Raven? I know he offered.

I haven't see anyone disclose exactly what they were on Earth yet either. I am just saying that I am computer programmer who joined the colony for a specific reason that I don't want to share. It is not like others are jumping up and down and calling their buddies to tell why they joined the mission.

Why did you join?

All I know is my own skills. And I know that they are very good and everyone else just seems kind of meh.

I do resent the leader for not putting me in the research center and seeming to make wishy-washy decisions at the last minute. We are not going to survive with that.

Last I saw Raven complained about not having anything to do. I think that is still the case.

I disclosed that I'm a professional astronaut with a strong background in science and engineering. Spent two years on the ISS.

Jackal disclosed that he was a professor at MIT.

Thomkal disclosed he was a high ranking official in the Army.

The list goes on.

Yes, I've been "drilling" some obedience into Mr. Shoveler here-and he needs a lot of it. :D

And I have disclosed that I was a computer programmer.

I don't disagree with you here Narcizo. But examining voting records can often provide suspects, which we clearly need right now.

You've also continually claimed to be the best at this and the best at that.

There's something in your story that seems 'off' and people are starting to pick up on it.

I going to assume this was a joke especially because you didn't explain yourself Chief. If its not a joke, then I will warn you right now that you will not win this battle with me.

So you don't have the ability to interrogate anyone?

strange sabotage-speaking up after font put you off the research center list, trying to persuade her to put you on it. If I had wanted you off of it, I would have said nothing then don't you think? I was actually trying to persuade her to put you on for the betterment of the colony.

If she's allowed to put more than three on (and I hope she is), I think she should even though it might open the door to a saboteur. I would suggest she put someone new on it that wasn't on it yesterday just in case.

I suggested I be put to work in the BioDome, but once it was completed EF did not say that it needed to be staffed. So no one has been assigned to work in it, because that option has not become available to us yet.

The bio-dome should be functioning today (day 3), let us know if you are still hungry tomorrow and if you are in need of medical assistance if you feel its safe to tell us.

Quote from yesterday showing Raven asking to work in the Biodome. Nice to see my memory is not completely shot.

Not currently

Because you used it last night, and it's a one time use?

All caught up on today's posts if someone has anything to discuss with me now.

Were you told it was Thomkal, Chief?

No because I have never had that power, but I suspect I will in the future when the government is created. Can you now please explain why you think its specifically me that beat you up?

As I said I'll go along with defence if that's the consensus.

research defence

I'll answer that once I get some more feedback from Thomkal on this one.

I wasn't beat up. I was interrogated. Getting beat up was a side effect.

That's a key point. This was done to me by someone with law enforcement capabilities. So I went to the head law enforcement guy, which is you.

If you're not aware or behind it, Mr. Sheriff, one of your deputies is shooting from the hip. And cost us the lead doctor, at least for a bit.

I'm hoping that concerns you some.

Ah I think this is what made me think you had a secret project-you clearly have something you are keeping secret from us though you must admit? I should have read back and verified what you said and phrased it differently. Again all I can do is apologize and offer support to your argument to Font as to why you should be on the research roster. And keep an eye on you as sheriff in case you are targeted.

Are the deputies even really a thing right now? Did Thom appoint people?

Did you say what you were going to be busy with tonight Thom?

I am more or less thinking all of those law enforcement types who ran for Sheriff are more or less ad hoc deputies for Thomkal now, although we are all available for other positions in the colony, of course.

Just like Autumn and ntndeacon are more or less members of the colony medical staff (and future Medical Facility staff), those law enforcement related individuals will no doubt be either working under or side by side with Thomkal.

Come on Chief. You know better to start throwing accusations around as fact when you don't know the specifics.

Having said that, Shoveler, any ideas on who might have interrogated Chief? :)

It most certainly does concern me Doctor, and I expect any with law enforcement/investigative background to speak up immediately if they have knowledge of this. I will repeat-I was not aware or behind it.

I suspect it was done primarily to take out a skilled doctor, but I am surprised they didn't just kill you if that's case. From what our law enforcers have said about their pasts, some might have "unethical" ways of enforcing the law.

Were you asked any specific questions?

Gosh I'm hungry. I sure hope we get some food today. Otherwise I hope the medical center we're rushing to build is good at curing malnutrition. Etc etc.

I cannot appoint deputies yet-though from what EF said publically, it looks like I might soon be able to. I "unofficially" asked Britrock, JAG, and Shoveler to be my security force due to their law enforcement/investigative backgrounds.

Thom... Why are you not available tonight??

I will pm font with an answer by 10 est... Giving people time to respond

No I did not.

I did it to stir the pot, I'll admit. I don't think that's a bad thing. And I was definitely interrogated.

I will not comment any more on that at the current time.

I was not given specifics about what I was asked, or if I answered any of those questions. Just that the interrogation happened and I was left a bloody and beaten wreck.

I don't believe this was the work of the saboteur, exactly because I am still alive. As you say, there is no reason to leave the mission lead doctor alive if you don't have to.

Yesterday, I was forthright in my questioning of some others' conclusions about the vote changes, I was also under some suspicion because of being on the Dangarion voting list for leader, and Schmidty somehow was murdered under my nose.

I am presuming one of those other shady law enforcement folks you have working for you took it upon themselves to use some likely one time use interrogation ability on me last night. Not a great decision, not just because of me being out of commission now, but also because maybe we could have used that ability down the road.

There was also this, posted yesterday by our Lead Scientist:

Love the tone of your message there CR... Very curious what the thug found out!

Ah wanted to weigh in on the who to heal question. (subject to change if Danny shows up before deadline). Danny is clearly not available enough to play this game. Chief Rum clearly is and may be our most talented doctor as well. We cannot let him die without doing all we can to save him.

So though it wars with my character's military "leave no man behind" nature, I suggest we do just that with Danny-let him die and use all the medical people we can on Chief. This changes though if Danny shows up and posts that he is now available to play the game more throughly. If the available doctors feel they can save both however, I would bow to their wisdom.

I find myself agreeing with you there CR-I might have tried the same if I was one with such a power.

And this is one reason why people should stop asking me questions about what I can and can't do as Sheriff. When the govt is created, I will, like our lead scientist and engineer did today, reveal what we can do next. One warning though-font as leader might be told more about it than me.

Wow, hard to keep up with the interesting tidbits today. Like Chief said, I hope that interrogation thing was not a one-time ability. For what it's worth, even though I said a couple things about Chief yesterday, I was not involved in this (despite what you may think about the interrogation abilities of a high school football coach).

If this wasn't the work of the stowaway, what have they been up to? I think it may have to do with all the activity going on outside the camp and that we're going to need to gear up and do some recon before too long. Too many tough priorities to choose from, the folks on earth may have some important info for us too.

**cough cough**

I did find it curious that the interrogator kept making me do burpees and stairs.

Oh I saw one of the options from EF this morning was to explore the flatlands or over the mountain ridge-flatlands appear to be the closest area to us, and (I think) have not been mentioned in one of EF's story updates (please someone double check this)-might this be a good thing to let some of our "restless souls" do to get them more into the game?

I am very curious to see how this day ends.

Is Thom doing nothing tomorrow since he using the night to complete a task? If so, what is the task?

He's already said he's doing something tonight so we should plan on him not being available for the group task. He doesn't want to talk about it at this time, so there's not a lot to be gained speculating about it. Let's focus on what we can decide, which is making an optimal decision for today's choices.

There is no option to collect supplies. Either we build, we fix, or we explore one of two possible areas.

Just want to state I am not in favor of this... until we get things in order around here anyways. That would include communications up and running.

heading out for the night

vote medical center
vote next project

It's a good thought, CR, but I haven't been notified of anything to that effect. (Not that it's conclusive proof nothing of the sort has happened--I merely figure I would be included in that group.)

Sorry if I am being a pain in the ass fellas... call me a newb... Or, in character... It's what scientists do.

Vote Medical Center
Vote next project

I favor defense for the research project.Grover: What do you intend to go for?GoldenEagle: If you could be a little more forthcoming in the future and stop changing your story, I'll be better able to place you where you can be of use. I stand by my decision yesterday as the correct one with the information you made available.

I am going to focus the majority of our medical support on Chief Rum. Is it worth giving anything to Danny?

In addition, if the person who interrogated Chief is on the side of the colonists, they should come forward.

It's an easy line to draw, I admit. But I will flatly deny any accusation that interrogated CR last night, or have even performed any policing duty to this point.

Thanks, JAG.

(Project: Medical center)
Priority: Next project

In regards to the government building, are we assuming that engineering and physical are going to be the useful traits again?

With the average human being a little under 6 feet tall it is safe to assume that the ship is larger than you... :)


The bio-dome will only need resources if it needs fixed or upgraded. I wanted to keep that from being something that needed manned so the resources can be used towards moving things forward.

Do you want this change?

Actions can be added, as the vote to collect supplies by Narc added that as an option for you to choose from.

I am trying to create an open ended world. There will be some things that can't be done, or that require prerequisites (like you can't operate without a medical facility, you can't put someone in jail without a jail, etc...).

I would like to see Autumn on me and ntndeacon on Danny. I know the move is out there to put it all on me, but we are very close to building a Medical Facility. If we can keep Danny alive long enough, that facility could drastically improve his ability to survive.

ntndeacon, as an EMT, knows how to deal with someone in critical condition. Autumn's likely greater medical skill, though, can help me, and hopefully he can get me up to the point where I can start to work again. Based on where my health is, I can reasonably guess that it may take only one day with a good doctor to get me back on my feet (if not 100% healthy).

I would like Science to prioritize Defense. Like they said, build a solid base, then we can start to go out and explore.

I will leave it to Engineering to decide what to improve upon.

Interesting, thanks for pointing this out.

I don't know, you think some social ability might be needed? I could see that being a possibility , but it's hard to predict as we don't have much data. I do have some ability there so we are partially covered if that's true.

EF, was my post ways back about having Jackal working on improving the generators valid, or is that something I need to PM to you?

I would think so

You would be the one working on that design.

Ah ha, I thought it was something I could farm out to the minions.

Font...you really need to get on these...we cannot go another day without having things taken care of.

We won't. I'm going through the stats and weighing my options.

I assume Grover will be busy, so I'm substituting in Jackal. JAG's social score should help if that's necessary.

Appoint: Jackal, Saldana and JAG to the Government Building.

Appoint: Autumn, ntndeacon and fontisian to Chief Rum

I suspect DanGarion and I have the same medical scores. Since he has engineering skills that may be useful for the med center and I have none, I'll place myself on Chief Rum over him.

That leaves the following people on building the med center:
DanGarion – SOCIAL (GREAT) PHYSICAL (GOOD) MEDICAL (BELOW AVERAGE), ENGINEERING (BELOW AVERAGE), SCIENTIFIC (AWFUL) lead large group of succ. people. "well liked", Democratic
Zinto - CEO
Suicane - PHYSICAL (GOOD), retired politician with history of public service
Crimsonfox – SOCIAL (GOOD), PHYSICAL (GOOD?) , SCIENTIFIC (BELOW AVERAGE) , automechanic,
Raven – SCIENTIFIC (GOOD), PHYSICAL (GOOD) farmer. strong science background.
britrock – PHYSICAL (GREAT) SOCIAL (GOOD) ENGINEERING (AWFUL) police officer. record isn't perfect, and physical capability can sometimes cloud higher-order processes.
shoveler - Private investigator

Geez. Another option is putting both me and DanGarion on Danny, but it'll be a wasted effort if he doesn't show up.

Danny hasn't shown up for almost 48 hours, I don't think you can anticipate him showing up.

So everyone not directly named for a task or unable to work (me and Danny) are automatically working on the project (presumeably the Med Center), right? Just getting a handle on things.

I'm just going to throw this out. Do we really need 4 law enforcement type people with only 21 people in this colony...???
