*RED ALERT! RED ALERT!*
*ALL CREWMATES TO REPORT TO THE BRIDGE IMMEDIATELY!*
The emergency protocol snaps you out of cryosleep at an accelerated rate leaving you slightly groggy and in a state of panic. As you stumble across the chamber blearily nodding to your fellow crew you notice a distinct lack of engine rumbling from beneath your feet, something you’d become accustomed to after months aboard the WM-13 starship. “What’s going on?” “We were supposed to be woken before landing!” Questions and mingled voices reach your ears as you stumble with the rest to the bridge. The doors open and the first thing you notice is the lush greenery and idyllic blue sky that can be seen through the front window of the bridge before you’re brought back to reality by a piercing scream. The dead body of the captain is sprawled across the floor, blood still oozing from the wound in his back. Someone did this. A member of the crew. As if in response to the gasps and shrieks the ships computer boots up. “Hi there I’m Eddie your shipboard computer! It’s a lovely day outside and you should get cracking if you want to survive out there. Oh, also my memory banks from the last 3 hours have been wiped so none of the camera footage from that time is available.” You look around at the other members of the crew, all of whom have grim expressions on their faces. It will take all of your efforts to discover the murderer and survive in this strange world and begin your life among the stars.
Role PMs will be sent out shortly. Please confirm by replying with your role and win condition. The aim is for everyone to confirm and the game to start sometime this weekend. Flavour is entirely fictitious and has no bearing on alignments Roles are also not alignment indicative Actions will resolve via natural action resolution This game is non-bastard Roles I do not consider bastard that others might: Bus driver, Executioner, Survivor, Watcher Additional Mechanics As you are establishing a colony on a distant planet you will need to construct buildings. Here is a list of buildings that should be built: - Radio Tower
- Jail
- Farm
- Server bank
- Garrage
- Hospital
- Lightning Rod
Before the end of each day, send me your vote via PM for which building you think should be built. The votes will be anonymous and the building announced at the end of the night phase. The building with the most vote will be built. Construction will finish at the end of the next day phase after the next building has been voted on.

Day 1 Begins And will end at 00:00 on the 13th of December or before if a player receives a majority vote.
Pandamonium is dead! Their body was discovered lying in the bridge. Pandamonium's role was:
The Captain
You are the Captain of the WM-13 starship. Chosen for your outstanding leadership skills and decision making, you've worked harder than anyone to ensure the success of this mission.
You are the town god. You are the only one that gets to decide who will be eliminated. You are also a reflexive roleblocker meaning you will roleblock anyone that tries to target you. You are also a 4-shot lightning rod. 4 times during the game you may activate causing all night roles to target you. To be honest this role is totally broken and means town is 100% going to win so as long as you don't do anything to annoy the mod you should be fine. You win when only the town remain. Please confirm by replying with you role and win condition.

Why Elements why! I was looking forward to playing this game after getting that role PM. You never let me play in your games and I find that very rude.

A: I believe proper introductions are at hand. I am Agatha, the leader of this trio, formerly known as the Staff of the Empire.
B: (Chipper) Alrighty crewmates, I am Benjamin, formerly known as the Sword of the empire, but my friends call me Benji.
C: (melancholic) …And I am Cicero, just a broken Shield of the Empire unable to protect those we love…
(Agatha stares daggers at Cicero)
ABC: Together, we make The Council!
B: …or what’s left of it…
A: Alright now, that’s enough from you two. Why are you both still so down after waking from cryosleep, the war ended decades ago, we’re here to make new alliances. Apologies to everyone here, with the Captain dead, we must all be on edge. We must stick together to survive, while we find the traitor in our midst.
It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance even in these unfortunate circumstances. We, The Council, will be observing your actions carefully as should you all.

The Council has deliberated and believes, we should all vote for a building to be built privately like voting on Day 1 without discussion. From Day 2 onwards we should discuss buildings to be built and reveal what we each voted for on Day 1 and why.

So let's get a few things out of the way. These games always start with a blind D1 in which we all discuss the possible set up for 40 pages and then shoot Arnie exile town.
In terms of faction breakdown, I'd guess for 15 players there'd be 3 mafia and maybe 1 third party. Given the addition of the building mechanic I'd imagine there's a third party role that benefits from some way (although based on previous games it would have to be implemented in a way that doesn't make it beneficial for them to just work with town, so I might guess there's a building with negative consequences for town that a third party might want built.
Let's talk about the building stuff!
I genuinely love these extra voting mechanics we sometimes have, it gives us something meaningful to do beyond sling shit at each other (VOTE: BYRON).
- Radio Tower - Probably some kind of info ability
- Jail - A jail ability most likely
- Farm - Dunno
- Server bank - Maybe an info effect that targets the dead? Maybe something about the initial setup, based on the flavour that the "memory banks from the last 3 hours have been wiped"
- Garrage - Spellt wrong both times, probably a typo though; not sure what it'd do
- Hospital - Doctor effect
- Lightning Rod - Kill effect
I'd imagine the buildings have some general effect that blanket affects the whole game when they're built, given there's no real concept of hammering. Given the blind auction nature we really should discuss as a group before making any decisions.
Oh also Elements do scum have a day chat (and can I have my towny points for asking).
I'll see you all later today when we invariably decide to exile James.

From Day 2 onwards we should discuss buildings to be built and reveal what we each voted for on Day 1 and why. Do you still think it's worth discussing what the buildings might do when built, or do you believe that is better saved for day 2 discussion onwards? Personally I see no issue with us theorising what these buildings might do during today but please correct me if you feel I'm wrong. 👍

VOTE: Flames
Are you serious, Flames? You wanted out of the hydra and then you /in on a separate account anyway? Asil was in tears.
THE COUNCIL towny for wanting to skip over the mechtalk which is very easy for scum to do right now.
distributive slightly towny for asking about scum having daytalk and then acknowledging the town points thing... idk, it just feels she's sincere about it.

What's a person gotta do around these parts to get scumread?

I thought you theorizing about number of mafia + third party and then asking for daytalk is putting yourself out there to be scrutinised if scum, since there will be eyebrow raisers at that stuff probably; it's slight town.
Claim scum for me, and outline your favourite kind of tetris block if you would like a scumread.

Really sus that the COUNCIL are sponsoring their posts, especially since we're just supposed to be playing this for fun. Maybe scum have a shop ability where they can buy laser cannons? Agatha, if Benjamin and Cicero were in one of those telltale game situations where you had to pick one to live and the other die, how would you pick? Don't worry, I won't tell them. -Ibad

I believe abilities exist separately from these constructs. My current theory is that the creation of constructs amplifies abilities. However, I assume Mafia can potentially sabotage these buildings (with some limitations).

You also mention that you like the council for wanting to skip the mechanic talk then praise Distributive for doing so. My questions for you -Ibad is: What are your opinions on discussing the buildings? Are sunglasses cool? Is Asil ok?

Awwww I wish I’d got that Captain role. It looks like tons of fun Byron isn’t saying anything useful. He seems kinda sus, no offense lol VOTE BYRON yelyab – I feel like the bad people might try and hide behind talking about buildings. Do we know how many bad people there are @ban Hydras - Who’s Flames?
