Why have the alarms stopped? Why don't I hear anyone else? Where did everyone go?
|
Day 1 voting usually goes strictly along the lines of lynch the quiet ones, the idea being that even if you don't get a wolf, you at least don't lose anyone who's contributing heavily to the game.
|
Wow, seems to have gone completely the opposite here. Wait for someone to make a little mistake, then...pop goes the bandwagon.
|
I tried that last game (the wait for someone to make a mistake bit). Didn't work out so hot for me. :( (At that, the little mistake didn't correctly indicate the guy's status, either. :eek: )
|
I need a little history/rules on this voting stuff.
|
Since there's no one around, I'll sulk back to my room. Maybe we'll get some candidates tonight.
AE: We vote for whom we think is one of the aliens. There's four of them, so that means that eleven of us are good guys. You vote by bolding your text: Quote:

Aha. Is it PMed, or is it posted in the thread?
|
To vote, active players post in this thread.
(sent the rest in PM, since it deals with WW strategy) |
Wow. Less then six hours to deadline, and not one vote. This is going to be interesting.

Yeah...I'm really surprised at the inactivity.

I have the following people posting since the start of this "day":
Myself hoopsguy digamma Blade6119 CW Neon_Chaos kingfc22 Peregrine Vincex2 Jeeber Raiders Army Ones that I don't see: Swaggs Qwikshot Schmidty Fouts There may be compilation errors here. And of course, the "get the quiet ones" strategy isn't necessarily more successful. |
Dola, after what happened the last time I led off the voting, I'm not taking the responsibility this time. :)
|
"Hell, I'll start this off. Where's Schmidty been? Skulking around behind us? Pretty quiet ain't he? I'll cast my vote for him!"
vote Schmidty |
Ok, instead of a crap shoot vote that could cost us dearly in the form of a key member of the team(im sure some guys have powerful roles to counter what fozzie hinted at the aliens having, as well as him saying one could see the roles of the dead), does anyone have a strategy to take into this first vote. Either everyone is scared of getting killed, or everyone is gone, but either way we have to vote soon so lets get this going. Id say we go with someone who posted, but not often...there have been many comments on here as to killing the silent ones, so if any of the aliens read this thread, they would be stupid to sit idly by right now in my mind. But i wouldnt think they would want to be on everyones list yet, so in my mind posting 2-3 times is a great strat for them. With that in mind, and in conjunction with wednesday's list, i say we target of "those." I also think fozzie mixed up the aliens between long time vets and quiet rooks as to make it tougher. So in sumnation i guess, ill vote randomly out of the 2-3 guys meeting my reqs(qwikshot said he would be gone, so im not counting him...yet), and end up with:
Blade6119 votes for Digamma |
Looks like the activity is starting to pick up a little bit - was very dead yesterday when I was around. I've been thinking about who to pick initially with absolutely nothing to go on. And, in X-Com tradition, the first to die is usually Blade6119.
Blade, sorry this is pretty random. But if you do end up being the first one dead I think there is some comedic value for the people who have read the threads in the past. Hope we start to put something together soon so I have a better rationale than what makes me chuckle. Vote Blade6119 |
Been working on these computers with no luck. I suppose we have to use our own logic to figure out who these aliens are.
Maybe if we take a blood sample from each person, then we can determine who is different? |
While I like the idea, Fouts, I'd assume we're on our own.
[out of context] It's my little brother's birthday, and I'm about to be inundated with family. Because of that, I'm going to be forced to vote now, in case I don't get back in time. [/out of context] This seems to be a complete shot in the dark at the beginning...so far we have three votes, and three different people. With abosolutely no idea who to vote for, I'm going to make it four. I vote Swaggs. |
Vote Schmidty
Simply because he has not made a sound. |
I guess I'll go along with the take out a silent guy strategy.
Blade, I'm a good guy. It's simply been the weekend. Not many people have posted more than a few times in the thread. Vote Schmidty |
Ugh. Just came home from a friend's bday bash. It's 4:30-somthing in the morning. And I've reread through the thread. I like the idea of voting for Schmidty, he certainly has been a silent guy.
But I have to say that bandwagoning is not my style. I will have to go with Qwikshot, another one of the silent guys. Vote Qwikshot |
dola
If Jeebs turns out to be a freaking alien, I'm going to kick myself. I'm going to bed. We'll just see if we get to kill a damn alien on day one. |

Perhaps you should read through a little more carefully before splitting us into categories like this. |

Sounds about right to me! Vote Blade6119 |

Nothing better to go on, so I'll pile on.
Vote for Blade6119 |
Vote Schmidty due to absence of contribution.
I could be persuaded to change if there's a spirited defense. |
Nothing from Schmidty, so I say we blast em!!
Vote for Schmidty |
By my count, it's 5-3 with about 10 minutes left.
|
Damned if I do, Damned if I don't
vote Schmidty |
The Votes are Tabulated as follows:
Schmidty (Peregrine, KingFC22, digamma, Mr. Wedensday, Fouts, Qwikshot) - 6 Blade6119 (Swaggs, JeeberD, hoopsguy) - 3 Digamma (Blade6119) - 1 Swaggs (Vince) - 1 QwikShot (Neon_Chaos) - 1 NO VOTE:Coffee Warlord, Schmidty, Raiders Army After the final vote has been tabulated, Schmidty tries to hide in the corner, as a hidden sonic cannon pops out of the ceiling and starts to track him. He manages to dodge and duck a couple times, but even in a large room, sooner or later, you just run out of clear space. He makes a last dodge, trying to get some cover, but there's a audible screech as the Sonic Cannon primes and fires... and the result, is messy, unsanitary, and undoubtedly fatal. The computer beeps a couple times, and flashes the following message. "Unable to determine if former X-Com member Schmidty was a X-Com agent or ectoplasmic source due to firing of automated base weaponry. Will update ectoplasmic count 0900 hours Zulu." You look at each other. Some are grim, some are happy just to survive the day. All you know is.. one of your own is dead, and at your own hands. You just hope their death will keep you from your own down the line. The X-Com Departed List: Schmidty: Blasted (Group Vote) Day 1 |
This concludes Day 1. All Night 1 actions including targeting, protecting and viewing are due by 7:00 AM EDT.

Hilarious. I'm getting votes because I haven't been tied to my computer.
It's been beautiful this weekend and we've been all over (Deception Pass, Lake Paden, etc.) Oh well, vote me out and score one for the filthy aliens. Have fun losing fellow grunts. As for me, I'm going out back to grill some steaks and have a Corona or 6. :) |
"I told you that computer is broken! Unable to determine, did you hear that! This damned thing can't tell an alien from a human!"
|
Come one aliens!!!! Kick these morons asses!!! :D
|
Word. When will I see action?

If CW or Raiders don't show up in the next day or so, you'll take over one of their roles, AE. |
OK, pretty confident before the announcement that Schmidty was a good guy. His use of the word "grunt" is what I'm basing this on. That name had not been mentioned yet in this thread (use the search on the first three pages to verify this) but it matches my role in the game. Based on that, I'm pretty certain we will see that the aliens have escaped the random first kill.
So, lets take an early look at voting patterns here. Schmidty and Blade were tied 3-3 with an hour to go. There were three votes in the last hour, each for Schmidty. No one voted for Blade in that time. When we learn that Schmidty was in fact a grunt, I think we have four compelling candidates to look at: Blade Mr. Wednesday Qwikshot Fouts I don't think they are all aliens, but I'm guessing two of them are if we do learn, as I expect, that Schmidty was not ectoplasmic. Also, I realize that by posting this I'm making my survival past this night a little (???) less likely. But I don't want to take a random death tonight and be in a position where I can't post my thoughts for the duration. |
We should have gone after Blade. The X-Com gods will not be happy that Blade6119 wasn't the first to go... :mad:
|
I'm here, I'm here. Apologies, today was roleplaying day.

While i wish to appease the x-com gods, their can be only reason behind this blasphemy. My former x-com brethren must all be aliens, becuase aliens never killed me...it was always my teamates or grenade shrapnel(BLOODY GRENADE SHRAPNEL!!!)...Im sorry i lived ;) |
I apologize for not voting. We went to a Band Concert outside tonight since it's not humid for once. I forgot about voting since the thread was so lackluster in opinions.
That being said, I'll have to look at the votes to see how things are going. Poor Schmidty. |

I'm sure that was heartfelt after my history of screwing you over. ;) |

i was never behind schmidy, and was tied with him for 6 minutes until 2 more votes went through for schmidty, and another a half hour later. If you believe me to be the alien boss, and that i can organize a team in 6 minutes to respond, let alone all be on for such a defense, thats outlandish.

Sorry, Schmidty. :(
