I iz back from my road trip.
Have to say, the mobile version of the site is a colossal pain in the ass. I don't even think it's possible to check for PM's on it, either that or I'm far too lazy.
Also, It's good to know I got my mug back [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65110350/IMG_20150629_143856.jpg] from that scurrvy no-good pretend pirate, @Demagogue. :3
Oh, and I'm also not dead. Once I start paying less attention to Elite Dangerous, I'll probably start trying to sleuth. All we need now is some information. C'mon dead guy! Spy! Throw us a bone!

They destroyed our homes. They destroyed our civilization. They nearly erased our people from existence. But we survived. Through the ingenuity of our admiral and the brave efforts of our pilots and crew, we escaped.
But we did not escape alone.
Our admiral warned us. One of them may have snuck aboard. Some took it seriously; others did not. Some panicked, despite our admiral's call for order. I was not among them. I could not, of course, know how to find a Cylon among men; how could I? No one had seen a Cylon in decades, and they looked so very different from us then, not like...
So I looked for disruption. Small things. Breaks from routine, minor violations of orders. Things that might be dismissed by others as understandable laspes in times of stress. Anything out of place. It was hard. There were many such activities from the crew. It was understandable; these were times of stress. But some people were routinely showing up in sections of the ship unrelated to their duties, and far from the sections designated for leisure. I think I was getting close. I...
Well, it doesn't matter now. I was careless. In my efforts to expose the enemy, I left my self exposed in turn. Like me, it was watching. I don't know where I missteped, but it decided I was a threat. It was ridiculously simple. A blow to the back of the head. The sound of metal colliding with the floor. A large wrench within my field of view. And just outside of it... It's no use. Even in my last moments I can't see its face. It doesn't gloat. It doesn't say anything. It just watches.
My only consolation is in knowing that my death will signal a renewed vigilance among the crew. The Cylon's actions will not stand. I may be gone, but our people remain. We will root out this killer, we will destroy it, and then we will continue our journey. We will find a new home where we can rebuild our great civilization.
So say we all.

@Caramel: That's a lie and you both know it, I only did that last round and guess what? All 4 people I ruled out were innocent. Caramel, I SAID THIS TO YOU, I didn't know Taco was using his girlfriend. Also I don't even remember I was going by log ins as evidence, it was over a year ago that round happened. And there's a new rule where if you haven't voted for 3 cycles straight you get kicked from the game, so that situation can't happen again.Fractral said:
@Revenant: Don't listen to these guys.
You can do all that, but because the votes themselves are anonymous, you don't have to tip your hand with your vote. If everyone knew how you actually voted, that itself could be used as evidence. In addition, the Trickster can actually shuffle the votes around a bit, which would be problematic if we saw how the votes were listed publicly.Zeconte said:
Let's say that I got revived and revealed the information I knew. If votes were tallied publicly, one could look at the votes and see if they were voting in a way that suggested alliances or knowledge that could be only be held by the killer or people aligned with him. That would end the game pretty quickly(even if the previous couple of rounds have been quick anyway).
The Priest can revive Scars and very likely will. I am a little confused on the timing of all this however. If Scars asked a question to the GM he shouldn't have received an answer until after the first killing and because he was killed he doesn't get his question answered.BeerTent said:
So would him asking the question still count as using his ability? When would be the soonest Scars could ask another question - the second or third round? Either way the Priest would want to revive him immediately after the previous round's voting finished (before the death post) and grant him immunity for the next round allowing him to provide at least one good list we can definitely trust.da rules said:
The sooner the Priest acts the better. Every cycle that goes on increases the odds of the Priest getting killed or accidentally executed.
@Demagogue: So when is the soonest that Scars would be able to ask another question?
@crimson5pheonix: I must prefer it if you bonk me somewhere else[footnote]Like the butt... <link=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1agaZinJHg>*snickers*[/footnote] so that I can use my head to see you bonk me... ;p
@Caramel Frappe: Why not have Scars Unseen being held by someone else... since he's depicted as a knife?

Here's something you could start from.
And here is the original without the words blocking the way if you want to use that:
