From the beginning:

If there is a tie, then the NEXT vote from someone who hasn't voted yet, or the next person to switch their vote.. breaks the tie.

of course, the tie is now broken. 24 minutes to go.

We're back to my basic problem... if hoops was converted in night 1, why was he still acting like an X-COM in day 2?

I don't see a whole lot of evidence about Neon. We've got Qwik fingering one of him and Blade; well, Blade turned out to be a baddie. CW was convinced that Blade wasn't the baddie that Qwik fingered... that could be true, but I'm having a hard time squaring the evidence with that, between the stated X-COM alien colors (I've been assuming that this is metadata that somebody who's been playing X-COM is expected to know) and the strong likelihood that Blade has been a baddie from the start.

Everything after that is a mass of finger-pointing that has devolved into opposing camps.

Now, do I trust Qwikshot or not? He's an obvious candidate to have been turned last night, but there are more people I question on the Neon_Chaos side than on the Fouts side, plus I don't trust Fouts myself.

Home from work - it has been pretty stressful the last couple of days fighting traffic and worrying about some bombshell emerging while I'm on the road that invalidates all of the logic behind a vote.

This is by far the most quiet we have been at this juncture - wonder what Fozzie is saving for us? He seems to delight in the late-breaking news in these games.

Swaggs and Digamma were both trying to use Quik as a reason for voting off Neon, yet Quik votes for Fouts. Hmmmm....

I am getting nervous here.

I was hoping for Qwik to confirm my thoughts here. Anything else to add before something big happens?

Just this, Swaggs - there is no way the aliens converted both Qwik and King last night. Are you sure that you aren't being steered wrong by Digamma/Fouts? I really didn't think you were with those guys, but understand why you are voting your way if you are faithfully representing it on the board.

I am certainly beginning to wonder that myself. :(

I think we should have a pretty clear direction after tonight, as long as we don't completely blow the game right now. :eek:

Although the possibility of Qwik still being in the open (but confused), and you (night 1) and king (night 3) converted remains viable -- aside from the whole behaving human on day 2 thing.

Just so you know, I am basing my decision on what I saw last night.

Mr. W. I can assure you that I was not converted, unless this happened without my knowledge. I am here to blow up aliens and save humanity.

4 minutes to go.

Are we having fun yet? :D

For better or for worse, I'm staying the course.

wed be having a lot more fun if i wasnt dead

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum.

And I'm all out of gum.

You're Blade. You're supposed to die. :)

(Couldn't resist)

Wednesday, we have seen a lot of strange stuff so far this game. I don't know how to convince you that I have acted in our best interests every step of the way after the firestorm today. But if there were two-day conversions, then wouldn't the guy that was converted last night still be fighting his masters? Do you see anyone that fits that description when looking at the voting patterns? You seem to have the best data on that in the group.

Blade, I miss you.

tick-tock.. tick-tock.. tick-tock... BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNGN! Time's up ladies and gentlemen!

Right now, I'm too fried to think about it, so I'll wait until later (assuming I survive the night). Plus, time's up.

Coffee, next game of warewolf/whatever you better sign up for...its pay back time(again, just like the other thread...god, your always watching my posts
:p )

Come on computer. Do your job.

Fouts:
Mr. Wedensday
kingfc22
hoopsguy
Neon_Chaos
Raiders Army
Qwikshot

Neon_Chaos
JeeberD
Swaggs
Digamma
Fouts
Vince

As Fouts hears the last vote against him, he sinks down to his knees, trying to keep the tears from his eyes. "I just want to live.. see my family... just wanted to live.."..

The Sonic Cannon drops out of the ceiling.. Fouts doesn't look up at the gun, even as he hears it track towards him......

That's an ominous start. :eek:

I miss yelling t you too....god you made me angry..too damn smart for your own damn good, you suspected two of us right off the bat...you jackass, your on my hate list with cw! :)

This is going to be one of those where I refresh a bunch of times before realizing it has gone onto a new page. :)

All Hell Breaks Loose.

"COMPUTER, OVERRIDE CURRENT TARGETING PARAMATERS! AUTHORIZATION CDG ALPHA 976!" Swaggs yells..

Everybody's jaws drop as the Sonic Cannon turns AWAY from Fouts.


"Override accepted. Alternate Target?" The computer states, calmly..

Swaggs points at hoopsguy, who is gawking at Swaggs. "Alternate Target is hoopsguy!"

"Affirmative. Target Acquired.."

And the Sonic Cannon turns to face hoopsguy. He starts to protest.. "But that's not FAI...."

And the SOnic Cannon fires. Sending him flying into the wall, where hoopsguy lands with a heavy thud.

There's a pause of a second or two.. then hoopsguy's whole body starts moving. Hints of something black and slimy inside starts to appear.. a black figure about half the size of Hoopsguy slithers out..

And the Sonic Cannon fires again.

This time, the creature slumps to the ground... you hear a hissing sound.. as it looks like the skin the baby creature wore is being dissolved.. from the inside.

No more then a minute later, all that's left of both hoopsguy's skin and the creature that inhabited him is a puddle of black ichor, hissing away as it attempts to eat away at the metal below.

You all thought you were immune to shocks by this point. But you're all wrong.

As you stare at the body, the computer speaks again.

"Illegal Backdoor access identified, controlling X-Com weaponry in lockdown status. Rebooting core AI personality to remove backdoor code. Estimated time of core repair: 0430 hours.

Hmmmm. Very interesting.

Blade - please be very careful with information you post - trying to keep game balance here. It would be pretty easy to re-read my posts with what you have typed to gain unfair advantage.

Well done, Swaggs.

Oh WOW!!!

Now do you guys believe me?

Now I can get back to work tomorrow :) Very fun time, all. Will keep following it from a distance.

Hmmm I don't know whether to be upset that Fouts avoided death after he fooled us in Werewolf V or happy that the good guys got one. :)

Nice save Swaggs. Of course, now I'm linked with the aliens and that sucks. :(

I pick upset, Thomkal.

"That's not fair!" is almost word for word what I said as I read it - OK, a little more profane.

Just woke up. I can't believe I skinned the cat AGAIN. I would have hoped that after yesterday I wouldn't be a target today, specially with the digamma-hoopsguy-raiders squabble.

All hells breaks loose indeed.

Glad I'm not dead though. Looks like Swaggs has the 'duke' role.

However, with hoopsguy turning out to be an alien, I'm going to be on the axe again... TOMMOROW. Great. Just great. :(

The Departed List.

Schmidty (Day 1: Group)
Blade6119 (Day 2: Group)
Peregrine (Day 2: Alien Front)
Coffee Warlord (Day 3: Group)
hoopsguy (Day 4: Blasted by Computer Override (Swaggs)

We are in night four. Actions due by 8 AM

Hmmm. Worried about tomorrow already?

What about tonight?

Hoops, Raiders, Neon and Qwik are the only ones to vote for both CW and Fouts.

What? You think the aliens are going to even touch me? I'm the easiest guy to put the blame on. :(

I'm certain they will not get you tonight.

And I agree with you. Which is why it sucks. I should have just been killed back with CW, prove myself to be human, at least I won't have to go through another day of being wrongfully accused again.

OOOOOOOkay. This was interesting. I go to my meeting

*Off-topic* Which by the way, I'm wearing a uniform that was fitted for me when I was 149 pounds, and I'm now 15 pounds heavier, so the whole thing sucked*

and hoopsguy is an alien. Weird shit. Anyhow, I'm pounding some back since I held my beer gut in for about two hours and I'll review this stuff later.

BTW, why did you want me to switch my vote Swaggs? To prove I was human or to save your special power?

Nice work, Swaggs.

Hopefully, the good guys last through the night.

Yup. :)

Just a reminder. If you leak Night Information that I've given you tonight before Morning, I will turn the base's weaponry on you :D

In case I die tonight (which would make sense since I "outted" myself), just want to review where my thoughts are for whoever is left.

These guys all voted for Neon Chaos today:
JeeberD
Swaggs
Digamma
Fouts
Vince

• I believe these five are certainly human. If they have a gut feeling, dream, or whatever, you should take it very seriously and act accordingly. If anyone has any type of protective skills, they should be used on one of the other four members.
• Fouts is an interesting character, but he has steered us correctly so far. I believe he may have selfish motives for wanting to survive, but that he certainly wants us to win, and them to be killed (so he can be released).
• Fouts gave us a list of names in a prior post. He correctly named hoopsguy (converted), and also named Raiders Army (receives images) and Neon Chaos (converter). Neon Chaos was also named on the three man list that Qwikshot gave us as a "possible" converter (Blade and Peregrine, both deceased) were also named. Since someone else has been converted since Blade's death, I think we can now safely assume that Neon Chaos is an alien.
• While I am not 100% sure of Raiders Army, his voting history, along with being on Fouts' list makes him a very good bet to be an alien.
• Through my computer hacking skills (my now, unfortunately, well known role), I knew that hoopsguy had been converted. I do not want to "out" anyone else, but at least one member of the bloc that voted against Neon Chaos is also verified to be a human.
• The group of Mr. Wednesday, kingfc22, and Qwikshot most likely contains the converted alien. Of the three, I know Mr. Wednesday was a human a few days ago. Kingfc22 appeared to be the most likely choice, but Qwikshot's odd behavior and his (to me) surprising vote (since he had been the one to give the three man list that included the converter) tonight makes me uncertain. Hopefully we will learn more about these three tomorrow.

I think that we should lynch Neon Chaos tomorrow because the pattern suggests that he may be able to convert again tomorrow night. We cannot let that happen. The results of his vote should be telling, unless the aliens are willing to sacrifice him.

After that, whoever is left, we will needs to get rid of Raiders Army, unless we find conclusive proof that he is human.

If we stay disciplined against Neon Chaos and Raiders Army and do not buy into any of their schemes, the remaining soldiers should be in excellent shape to save the world again.

Good luck fellas!
