IT IS NOW NIGHT ONE!!! NO POSTING!!!!!!





"Sir..."
"sir..."
"Sir..."

"SIR!!"

Lieutenant Thansal awoke with a start. He opened his eyes to see a shape in front of him. It took him a few seconds to realize who was in front of him. "What is it private?"

Pvt locallyunscene snapped to attention. "Sir, the commander wants you on deck, right away Sir!"

Thansal considered going back to sleep a moment, but realized his duties came before his personal time. "Roger that private, I'll be up shortly.
Lieutenant Thansal had been stationed aboard the USS. Strategen, a Stronghold Class tactical battleship, as the executive officer of a mixed-government Anti-terrorism force, nicknamed "Team Xrimson,” since they were only called into action during a code red situation. This team had been called into action in nearly every military campaign since its creation. It was formed of members of the U.S. Navy SEALS, Delta Force, and the British Secret Service. They had the highest mission success rate, and also the highest death percentage out of any other special-ops group. It was rumored that for every ten soldiers they took into action, only one came back alive, and alive was a relative term. So far, Lt. Thansal had survived three missions and come out unscathed, making him the second place high scorer on the mission survivability board his soldiers had jokingly created.
Lt. Thansal hopped up out of his bunk and began to get into his uniform. He wondered what the commander could possibly want with him. The commander, Colonel Nightstalker, was the number one high scorer on the board, having been in the lead of 9 different Xrimson missions, and somehow was still alive. His left leg was almost gone, lost somehow on his last mission, and one of his eyes was cybertronic, giving him the innate ability to see in the dark and through walls, a skill he had used to his advantage on several missions.
Thansal had finished dressing and headed for the command deck. He walked out the door and into the hallway. As he was walking he heard a voice yell “Hows it going Lt.?” He turned around.
“Not too bad Corporal [Eternaly_Lost, how about yourself?”
“Well sir, I’m kinda wondering when our next mission will be, its been a month now since we had any action,” said Corporal Eternaly_lost.
“Well, I on my way to the commander right now, I think he may have another mission for us."
“Yes sir!!!!”
“Carry on, I need to get to the commander,” said Thansal, and he turned and walked away.

Thansal made the trip to the command deck without any further interruptions. He walked to door and commanded “Open.” The door opened with a hiss as it slid sideways. The commander was standing at his control station, where all aspects of the ship could be monitored. It was also the only place from where a self-destruct sequence could be activated. So far, there had never been reason to use it.
“Is that you, Lieutenant,” asked Nightstalkeras he heard the noise from the door.
“Aye sir, it is,” replied Thansal. He dreaded the commanders next words.
“You may have guessed already, but I have another mission for you,” said the commander. “This mission will be one of the hardest I’ve ever activated a team to complete, but it has to be done.”
“What is this mission sir,” asked Thansal. He had to pause a moment to spit the words out. Even though he had survived thus far, he still dreaded every mission.
“A terrorist group has stolen a top secret weapon, and it must be recovered. I can not tell you any more than that now, you’ll find out more in your briefing at 1430 hours. For now assemble your team, and get them ready. I’ll see you then.”
“Aye, sir,” replied [Thansal, and he turned and exited the room. He began thinking to himself what he needed to accomplish before the briefing. “Well, I had better at least let the guys know,” he though to himself, and headed for his teams ready room. As he was on his way he called through his private intercom system.
“Team Xrimson, report to ready room A, repeat, team Xrimson, report to ready room A…” he said, his voice echoing throughout the ship. By the time he had finished this he was at the ready room. He opened the door and was surprised to see his team already assembled.

“Attention on deck!!!!” called SFC Xentor. Everyone in the room snapped to attention. SFC Xentor was in the center of the room, which held several office tables and chairs arranged in a circle. Lt. Thansal had been on several previous missions with Xentor, and he trusted him with his life. Corporal Eternaly_lost was to his left, near a computer console, and Pvt locallyunscene was at the back of the room. Sergeant TheFeniX was to Xentor's right.
“At ease, gentlemen,” said Lt. Thansal. “I gather you already know, being that you are all present. We have a mission, I don’t the details yet, but from what I understand, this will be one of the hardest missions we have yet undertaken.” At these words Pvt locallyunscene began to look extremely nervous, which Lt. Thansal noticed at once. He turned to look at him. “Private, I know this is your first mission with Team Xrimson, and I know you know the risks associated with this type of duty. I’m telling you now soldier, you will give everything to this unit, or you will die, I won’t make any bones about it.” Harsh words, but Thansal knew if he didn’t tell him now, he would have an even higher chance of dying.
Just as he was finishing Col Nightstalker walked in.
“Attention on deck!!” yelled Theslan.
Col Nightstalker, his face normally a solid shell, reflecting years of battle experience, now had a nervous and worried look about it. “At ease, and have a seat, this is going to take a while.”




NOTE: You can go anywhere room to room in each separate building, but in order to go from warehouse to Area 2 you must use a hallway. You can only go into the hallway from the room nearest it. To be specific room 5 connects room 10, and room 3 connects room 8. These are the only rooms that can access the hallway.

Oh yes. the updated item list....stilly me..


Body Armor: Prevents from being wolfed for one night.

AWP: Allows player to kill one other player, does not count as instalynch, so possible 2 deaths in one day

Night Vision : Allows player to look into one other player and see if wolf or human (PM use at night)

Superman MOD : Allows person to move about the map to any location, no matter the distance.

Radar : Allows person to know the location of all the items, not what item it is though.

Medpack : Can revive one player does not matter cause of death ( PM use during the night)

Ammunition: Allows person to reuse any item in their inventory a second time (effect does not apply to ammunition)

Mp5: Allows person to remove one vote from themselves and place it on another person (can only be used once per day) Use is posted in the thread.

Defusal Kit: If bomb goes off and person is in the same or an adjacent room, negates the effect of the bomb.



Everyone should have received their roles by now so let the game begin!! I also want to emphasize again for the new players....NO POSTING DURING THE NIGHT. Also, NO EDITING OF POSTS!! Make 10 posts if you have to, but no editing.


NOTE: There seems to be some confusion as to the location/move search. You can move and search on the same night. Make sure you tell me what corner of the room you want to move to. Also, location is only revealed if a player chooses to reveal their location.

Okay due to some imbalance issues im going to re assign roles. Ther will be two wolves this time around. Hopefully this should fix all the issues.

Okay all the new roles have been handed out, Ill need pms from the seer, guardian, and wolves, if still alive. thanks and sorry for all the confusion!! Oh I also need room movements and searches from everyone again. Night one will end Monday, Feb 4th, 2300 EST.

I'm going to ignore the No Nighttime Posting rule to make a post letting people know that Nightstalker extended the night to Wednesday, 11 PM EST. The edit is in the first post, but not the second one (check the edit times). It would have been nice if it had been put somewhere where people would actually notice it (a new post, the IRC topic (where I put it just now), even editing the last post in the thread), oh well.

IT IS NOW DAY ONE!!! POST AWAY!!!!!


Sorry for the late post, my router fried last nite, so I went to Wally-World this morning and picked up a new, temporary router till the nw one I ordered comes in. Thanks

Anyways....


Meanwhile, In another part of the world.....


"Attention!"

The words echoed throughout the cavern. It was a relatively large cavern, with a crudely built stage in the front, and an open dirt and rock floor that lead somewhere into the depths of the mountain where this cavern was located. The command had just come from GC Maximor im_lost. im_lost was second in command of the terrorist group GC (General Combine), and he was a ruthless leader, either buying out or killing (he much prefered the latter) off his competiton. As he entered the room, he looked out and saw his gathering in front of him. He looked out at his followers, all at strict attention. "At ease."

He began to speak. "For 6 months now, we have been looking for a way to steal the US. Army's new secret weapon. I am telling you now, through months of careful planning...WE HAVE LOCATED IT!!!"

At this the gathering went wild with applause and shouts. He raised his hands and quieted them. "However, because of one individual'ss stupidity, we do not have it!!!!" Behind him was seated GC Supreme Gwahir, who was the leader of the GC. He had been there since the start of the organization, but time and power had corrupted and weakened him. This was something im_lost had no tolerance for. He had been looking for an opportunity to take control of the GCm and now, he had the perfect opportunity. im_lost turned and looked at Gwahir

"Because of your weakness, the US. Army found out about our plan to steal their new weapon, and they moved it. This is an unacceptable act of a leader, and you are not fit to be in a position of power anymore. I will not have you bring this organization to its knees because of you inadequacies." He turned to the crowd. He could see his words were already having an effect. He could see off to the side his closest and most trusted team members, GC Prime Theslan, who was im_lost's Number 1, GC Warrior Soulrider, who was, for lack of a better description, a side of beef with a head, and was im_lost's personal body guard, and GC Stalker Caboose, im_lost's reconnaissance and intel man. These three were the only people he trusted, as he had been with them since the start. They were awaiting his signal.

He turned to the crowd. "Do you want to see this organization crumble and fall?"

"NO!!"

"Do you want to see our mission fail, and the whole reason for this organization be erased?!"

"NO!!"

"We need to take action, it must be swift, hard, unforgiving, and above all, someone will pay!!!"

At these words im_lost turned to [Gwahir. Gwahir throughout this time, had said nothing, due to a drug im_lost had slipped isnto his drink a few hours before. The whole intent on this was to make Gwahir appear as weak as possible. im_lost needed the crowd to be on his side for what he was going to do next.

im_lost pulled a .357 magnum handgun from his belt. He pushed the gun into Gwahir's chest and pulled the trigger. Gwahir rocked back as the bullet slammed into him and tore a hole in his chest. im_lost turned to the crowd. "I am now Supreme commander of the GC. If you will follow me, I will take back our glory!!!"


This was the moment im_lost had been waiting for. "I will now take my three closest advisors, and we will locate and take back what we want!!!!" The crowd roared with agreement. They began to shout "IM_LOST, IM_LOST, IM_LOST!!!" "He signaled his team mates and quickly walked out of the cavern. He met up with them in a separate part of the cavern.

"So sir, what are we going to do?", asked Soulrider

"We are going to locate and steal back the US. Armys, prototype weapon, codenamed PATHFINDER, and we are going to do it without them even knowing about it."

"How are we going to do that," asked Caboose.

Theslan spoke up. "We are going to steal their plans, which have been hidden withing two separate buildings."

im_lost smirked. Theslan was already working on it, I should have known" he though to himself.

And with that im_lost said, "Well gentlemen, lets suit up and bring back glory!!"

Day one will end Fri, Feb 8th 2200 EST

Okay give me a few min and I should have your item/room search pms out.

NOTE: each item will come with instructions on use.

ok, so we are starting now.

suits me.

random.org says SIX

Soul_Rider (not counting my self)


That is all for now.

Ok, I lied. That is not it for now.

First up, Gwahir was the last person on the list, so I think that is about it for him.

Next up, I am going to try and keep a spreadsheet accurately again, so here is the link:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pK3...L58esBTmCMTz6Yw

Triple post FTL.

If we manage to not lynch any wolves, and not save any humans, we will lose on day 4 with a human lynched.

A single wolf lynch prolongs it one more day.

A Single Guardian Save only prolongs it to the night (aka, it requires 2 guardian saves to prolong the game to another lynching day)



I also have a quick question:
is there a limit to the number of items we can carry?

Ok, that really is it for now.

Two Items from what I heard.

Use of the medpack on a human will give us another night ( 1/2 of a day ), so two uses of the medpack on two humans will give us another day.
The AWP will cost us 1/2 of a day if it is used on a human and give us another day if it is used on a wolf.

I am sure there is more to talk about, but I am in class so I can't go over how all the items affect us in one post, just yet.

I will throw down a vote on EMPDemon. As random.org tells me too.

make thaqt [b EMP_Demon[/b]

! I hate my laptop keyboard

EMP_Demon

Here the Item list:

Body Armor: Prevents from being wolfed for one night.
Result + ½ Day

AWP: Allows player to kill one other player, does not count as instalynch, so possible 2 deaths in one day
Result – ½ Day

Night Vision : Allows player to look into one other player and see if wolf or human (PM use at night)
Result + 1 human network size (Ideal) | Find one wolf
Reasoning, a normal human or a role finding another human or a role gives us more voting power then a lone human finding a wolf. If the seer get it, then Finding wolf is better than finding a human.
Superman MOD : Allows person to move about the map to any location, no matter the distance.
No effect.

Radar : Allows person to know the location of all the items, not what item it is though.
Helps to reclaim dropped items.

Medpack : Can revive one player does not matter cause of death ( PM use during the night)
+ ½ day per person revived.

Ammunition: Allows person to reuse any item in their inventory a second time (effect does not apply to ammunition)
+ ½ or – ½ or expanded network/ wolf knowage. Depends on what Item.

Mp5: Allows person to remove one vote from themselves and place it on another person (can only be used once per day) Use is posted in the thread.
-1 vote helps wolfs more than humans.

Defusal Kit: If bomb goes off and person is in the same or an adjacent room, negates the effect of the bomb.
Stops everyone from dying in one night.


How it works +1/2 day is a night or day.

quoth the random.org number 2.

Eternaly_lost

So if I searched and didn't find a bomb in my room, there is no bomb in my room?

No, only Nightstalker knows where the bomb is.

About the bomb:


So, if you were the only person to search your room, and you found nothing, then the bomb is not in there. But you have no way of knowing for sure that no one else searched the room.

Soul Rider was keeping a list of who searched which rooms at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pmU...Z_0No3Hp93RwkXg for those interested.

Random.org gives me Caboose.

Random.org gives me Theslan, which I support because I still hate when he and Thansal are in a game together. >_>

I searched room 8 and found nothing, so unless Gwahir found the bomb and died with it, it's not in my room.

just to put in my 2p.

I searched room 6, no bomb

oh, hah.

I just got it, if humans find the bomb, we just hold it, if a wolf gets it, we are all boned

I found nothing in room 3.

Oh, and back to last night's discussion about the likelihood of there being three people in a room, I finally figured out how to do that calculation. I went with the approach of finding the number of ways this can happen and dividing by the total number of room assignments.

First, look at how many ways there are to put three people into a single room. This would be 11!/(3! * 8!) (going back to probability stuff, and remembering that order doesn't matter in this case). Then you have to multiply by the number of ways that everyone else could be assigned to rooms, which would be 9^8 (eight people that can each be put into one of nine rooms). Then you multiply by 10, because there are 10 rooms that could have 9 people. Then divide by 10^11 for the total number of ways that people could be assigned. Throwing this into google calculator gives

11!/3!/8! *10 * 9^8/10^11 = 0.710270896.

Note that this ignores the possibilities of having 4 people in a room. It also overestimates because there is some overlap (in cases where two rooms have 3 people, it is double counted, but that should be small (I think) and I'm too lazy to figure out that part right now). Therefore I conclude that there is nothing suspicious about three people starting in the same room, and it probably isn't worthwhile to follow that line of thinking. Unless there are more overlap cases than I think there are, anyway.

Auto-append (I think):


should be "because there are 10 rooms that could have 3 people".

Apparently auto-append has been turned off, I should have remembered Depot's complaints about that, good to know.

so, im_lost, were you in room 3 or 7?

Room 7. Why couldn't the response PM quote the original one? I think Room 3 got mentioned too many times yesterday.

Okay, apparently there's a bit of confusion in my part. I need a few things clarified.

1. Apparently there's confusion on items. Is it one item per room, or more items per room?
2. Are these items unique, or there are more around (like... there's 5 defusal kits around)
3. What in the world is the bomb? Apparently im_lost hints it's carryable.
4. Can ammunition be used all at the same time (assuming more than one). For instance, I have 1 mp5, 2 ammunition. I erase 3 votes off me.
5. Can people in the same room switch/swap items with each other.

Anyway, I'll vote in retaliation to EMP Demon for voting on me.

Yes. Instead of a extremely long night (it was supposed to end Wednesday?... but we got ninja daytime), we now have a long daytime.

also, your vote tallies are off

Well, I didn't find anything, and I think I moved to room 9, though I didn't save the PM... Must find that option to auto-save sent items... Gotta be there somewhere...

Anyway, since I'm too lazy to random.org it, I'll just welcome locallyunscene to the game with his first vote.

Oh, also didn't see anyone else in the room, which was odd, since I remember someone commenting that I was moving into the same room as someone else... Or can't we see people in the room with us?

we don't see people in our rooms

oh, and just because:

Yea, apparently we all have cloaks of invistablitly, that work until it time to die by a lynch. ( wolfs have good sense of smell. )


oh, and someone needs to hound on Nightstalker. He seems to like long days and nights, so that this game moves at a faster rate then 1 day per week.

I'm unsure who to vote for. I'm not going to purposely lynch someone, as I have no reason to suspect anyone at this time.

So, since I must, im_lost gets my vote for voting for me and having no votes.

Also, I did find something, though I think I'll wait to say what for now.

as a reminder caboose, you MUST bold your vote for it to count (atm, you are still voting for no one)

"Preview Post" nub.

I vote for im_lost based on his "people in a room" post. I don't want to do math at work.

I am in room 9 and have found nothing.

Gwa is dead. Do we have anything (besides his experience) as to why he was a wolf target? He chatted some in IRC, but I wasn't logging it.

The most I got from him was that he was somewhat passively trying to network. Unlike Soul and mine's active attempt at it.

As for a guess at a reasoning. I would wager that prereset for the game, he might have been a wolf, and another wolf ( we did have 4 of them ) got wolf again, and decided that it would be too risky to leave him be?

If this is the case, I expect that the person or persons ( items ) who dies tonight, might be related.

However this could just be a random.org night 1 kill too. We have had AFK wolfs before...

I don't think he was a reset wolf since that would be a disadvantage for the wolves. Can we get a clarification on the starting number of wolves from the host?

Wait, I take it back. But did the pre-restart wolves know who each other were? Even if they did it wouldn't matter because I don't think whether you were a wolf then can really tell you anything about this game.

I mean "can't" not "can". D'oh.

The starting number of wolfs is 2, as nightstalker posted at the start of the thread.

tttttripple post!
Honestly, I think we are looking into it all to damn hard, I expect he was killed on a whim. I looked back at chat logs, nothing interesting. BTW, could we get an official one on:
Could Gwahir have gotten an item, then been killed, and then dropped it?

or did he just not get an item?

From what I recall hearing you drop items when you die, whitch means that he might have gotten an item, then dropped it becuase it was not the body armor.

or maybe he would have found it, but got wolved before the item was found at the start of the new day

Sorry, well caught out by the early day start there....

I'll return on Thansal for now. Nothing to go on, will be updating the spreadsheet on rooms etc in a minute...

I am in that room and found nothing. So he would have to have searched first and picked it up for me not to find it.

Updated vote tally:

EMP Demon (2) - Eternaly_lost, Theslan
Eternaly_lost (1) - locallyunscene
Caboose (1) - im_lost
Theslan (1) - EMP Demon
Soul_Rider (1) - Thansal
locallyunscene (1) - Xentor
im_lost (1) - TheFeniX
Thansal (1) - Soul_Rider

People who didn't vote yet:

5. Caboose

Have no votes:

TheFeniX
Xentor

Caboose attempted to vote, but forgot to bold.

That is true and so if my way of thinking is correct, there is no item in the room, but if he could have picked it up, there may be, so this does need clarifying.

By my logic of how items are gained, there could be an item still in there.

Ghawar can get the item before he dies.
Ghawar got the item, and it did not help him survive the wolf attack so he died, and dropped the item in the room.
Im_lost did not get an item in this case because it was already claimed.

This means that night goes as this. People get items->People get killed by wolfs/items->dead people drop there items.
Witch makes sense.

Just a minor note, my questions haven't been answered by the host either.

So looking at the thread, here are the unanswered questions.

1. Apparently there's confusion on items. Is it one item per room, or more items per room?
--> Judging by the results, it's safe to say there's more than one item per room.
2. Are these items unique, or there are more around (like... there's 5 defusal kits around)
--> Unanswered, but probably only unique.
3. What in the world is the bomb? Apparently im_lost hints it's carryable.
--> Answered by im_lost. And it was locallyunscene that hints it's carryable.
4. Can ammunition be used all at the same time (assuming more than one). For instance, I have 1 mp5, 2 ammunition. I erase 3 votes off me.
--> Rate has not be answered.
5. Can people in the same room switch/swap items with each other.
--> Most likely not.

6. Does Gwahir get the item first, before death, or death, and then knows the item? Did he get a PM about the item? (though this question is more general: do we get items first before death?)

The pre-restart wolves "should" have known who each other were, but the PM didn't include the names of the other wolves. That was one of the teething problems. It has no effect on this game at all, that I was a wolf before the restart.
