Decisions for the research teams is to be among the following items:

Scientific Team
- Decide Research (offensive, new technology, agricultural improvements for the biodome)

Looking for input from the group. My thoughts:

Offensive - If we start research now, then engineering can complete work in a few days. We'd be able to explore the other craft then.

New technology - Not sure what to think... this could help any of a hundred different ways. Less focused and therefore more risky.

Agricultural improvement - Between supplies and the biodome do we need additional food improvements right now?

We need to get Chief better... he needs to be at 100%.

Does it make sense that the medical facility was not finished? I am not quite sure who was working on that... is it just we didn't have enough people on it?

I couldn't find anything on who was working on the project. It may have just been a dice roll.

Grover: The researchers spent time on defense so that we could have protection for the colony. Why the focus on tools? I'd like to know more regarding your position.

Because I believe that improving tools could improve a wide range of options for the colony along all assets. From the Biodome, to the Research Center to the Medical Center. It could even include weaponry, telemetry, anything that can help us on the surface.

But if the group thinks we would be better served improving the defensive designs, I am certainly willing to listen and consider any proposals.

In the voting result... (doesn't mean who was working on it but who was assigned to it; which by default for the voted action it will be anyone not specified to another project)

If anyone has actions of their own it will not show up in the results and will only be revealed if discovered or if the person(s) tell the group.

I vote for offensive research and start to look around.

First of all I have to say that I found the manifest, somebody hyde it and I will give it to Fontisian, I think that in the hands that this information has to be is in our leader´s. The gun also should be in our leader´s belt.

Vote Action: Gather the remain of supplies.

Okay then, I'm waiting for a response before commenting on what options the creation of the government have given me and the like. I also am waiting for shoveler to comment definitively on whether he is our interrogator or not before assigning deputies. Both JAG and Britrock have said they are not.

As for healing Chief Rum, I'd like to see him stay sidelined until fully healed but that's not my decision.

-my suggestion for the scientific team is offensive research, though the new technology is intriguing.

-my suggestion for Grover would be to design defenses for the colony

-my choice for action would be repair communications or explore flatlands but haven't made my mind up yet which one to vote for.

I may (or not) have more info later, so stay tuned and don't ask me questions unless they are about whatever projects you may be working on, until I comment more about what I know.

Sharkn, is there anything about the manifest you can reveal that will help us narrow down the candidates for our stowaway?

You have the manifest? Can you tell us what is on it? This could be extremely important? Is it a passenger log?

Why are you so willing to say that fontisian should have the gun? I know we need to know more about who harshly interrogated Chief Rum, but shouldn't the sheriff ideally have the gun? Giving it to the leader could give her too much power.

Shark... Thanks for taking the list to font for review. Appreciate your openness and honesty. The same cannot be said for many of our group.

Yeah we have to be together in order to survive in Mars, maybe this is the begginig of the group cohesion, who nows...

I had the possibility to have three secrets with no names attached, or three names with no secrets attached... So maybe our leader can figure it out better who to use this information...

We selected the leader for a reason Grover, so we have (In theory) to believe in her...

Thinking about different mechanics within the game... anyone think we have a seer who can interrogate the answer out? Maybe one of the law enforcement types? Makes sense on Chief but maybe not on Danny.

Nevermind that last post... figuring this thing out on the fly.

Well, I didn't vote for her, but that's beside the point. Do we want to be giving all authority, physical and otherwise to one singular person? Are we going to be a democracy or a dictatorship? What kind of world do you want to live in?

In Falling Skyes worked fine... hahaha :popcorn:

The Government building gave me a onetime Duke ability to control the vote.

That actually helps illustrate a larger point: if I wasn't thoroughly on the town's side, I could have done a lot damage by now. Instead, we have three buildings built, the beginnings of scientific research and a security force, and we've only lost the two inactive. It may not be perfect, but it could be much worse.

Just reading the Mine Wars - Battle of Blair Mountain. Bull Moose Special on post #2389. Now I get it... that must've sucked hard Poli!

Sorry, I didn't realize you had asked for verification on this topic. Interrogating an individual under duress via beating them up badly is not a technique employed by private investigators.

Why exactly are we assuming one of the sheriff candidates is responsible? Didn't we already come to the conclusion that we have at least one person that is probably holding themselves out to be something they are not? It just seems to obvious to narrow this down to the four or five (I forget off hand) people that ran for Sheriff. I guess it makes sense from the evidence presented, but it just seems to easy.

I was crying with laughter after reading post #3387 and the next 10 or so posts.

Oscar time!

how do we see number of posts by individuals in a certain thread?

you go here: Werewolf Games - Front Office Football Central

then click on the number 1576 to the right of the thread. A popup appears.

10-4... thanks CF.

timmaaaaaaaaaaaae!

Change Engineering Project from Tools to Improved Defenses

I have a feeling that this is what everybody is going to gravitate to, so I will make it my design priority.

I won't be around much today so I'll get these out now so I don't get punished

vote gather supplies

I think researching offence is the way to go today. If we ever want to explore we'll need something to protect the scouts with. if the other scientists want to go a different way then that's fine.

research offense

We 3 are in for O# this time :)

Love it when we are on the same page! Interested to hear what others think also.

Where is everybody!?

Engineering...I believe we should Improve the Defenses (sorry, Grover)
Science...I kinda leave that in the hands of the scientists

If there was someone to heal besides myself, I would choose to work (and heal slower). But since I am the only one hurt right now, it seems better to convalesce and not do anything and let Autumn/ntn/whoever do their work.

FWIW, the level of healing I received, if I received it again, would be more than enough to get me to full health, presuming there aren't other factors that are changed today from Day Three.

No need to apologize. I have changed my plans to Defense. I should have thought of it first anyway, especially since timmae's crew worked hard to get that part done.

On the matter of my interrogator, I do not believe that person is the stowaway. He/she may even regret the action, as I believe it was only made in an effort to find the stowaway.

In my mind, it is all good, and I would rather we focused our efforts on finding the stowaway rather than the interrogator.

I actually like Improving Tools, as I think we can build projects faster with those. It's definitely something to consider for future votes.

Obviously, I think Defense will be necessary sooner than later.

I still feel we need to get more supplies in case something bad happens and we can't rely on our buildings.

Fairly quiet weekend, but that's okay, given that it makes for a three-day "day."

For us normal folk, looks like the only thing for us to vote on today is our action. I'll break them out from EF's post just for aesthetics' sake.

Actions:
- extra effort on repairing communications
- finish gathering supplies
- search the flatlands
- (very risky) search the heat source in the NE
- (risky) search the 1st mission landing site in the SE

And for context...

Attachment 5462

Why the focus on gathering supplies versus getting communications back up? The more we know about the colonists the better chance we have of finding the stowaway, right? Or is that too "easy" of a direction to proceed?
