    Day 0: The First Disappearance


    19:06:14 DSJ [Valentich]: Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet. Is there any known traffic below five thousand?
    FS [Flight Services; Robey]: Delta Sierra Juliet, no known traffic.
    DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet, I am, seems to be a large aircraft below five thousand.
    19:06:44 FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, What type of aircraft is it?
    DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet, I cannot affirm, it is four bright, and it seems to me like landing lights.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet.
    19:07:31 DSJ: Melbourne, this is Delta Sierra Juliet, the aircraft has just passed over me at least a thousand feet above.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, and it is a large aircraft, confirmed?
    DSJ: Er-unknown, due to the speed it's travelling, is there any air force aircraft in the vicinity?
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, no known aircraft in the vicinity.
    19:08:18 DSJ: Melbourne, it's approaching now from due east towards me.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet.
    19:08:41 DSJ: (open microphone for two seconds.)
    19:08:48 DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet, it seems to me that he's playing some sort of game, he's flying over me two, three times at speeds I could not identify.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, what is your actual level?
    DSJ: My level is four and a half thousand, four five zero zero.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet and you confirm you cannot identify the aircraft?
    DSJ: Affirmative.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, stand by.
    19:09:27 DSJ: Melbourne, Delta Sierra Juliet, it's not an aircraft it is (open microphone for two seconds).
    19:09:42 FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, can you describe the - er - aircraft?
    DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet, as it's flying past it's a long shape (open microphone for three seconds) cannot identify more than it has such speed (open microphone for three seconds). It's before me right now Melbourne.
    19:10 FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger and how large would the - er - object be?
    19:10:19 DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet, Melbourne, it seems like it's chasing me.[21] What I'm doing right now is orbiting and the thing is just orbiting on top of me also. It's got a green light and sort of metallic like, it's all shiny on the outside.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet
    19:10:46 DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet (open microphone for three seconds) It's just vanished.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet.
    19:11:00 DSJ: Melbourne, would you know what kind of aircraft I've got? Is it a military aircraft?
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, Confirm the - er ~ aircraft just vanished.
    DSJ: Say again.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, is the aircraft still with you?
    DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet; it's (open microphone for two seconds) now approaching from the south-west.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet
    19:11:50 DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet, the engine is rough-idling. I've got it set at twenty three twenty-four and the thing is (coughing).
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet, roger, what are your intentions?
    DSJ: My intentions are - ah - to go to King Island - ah - Melbourne. That strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again (open microphone for two seconds). It is hovering and (open microphone for one second) it's not an aircraft.
    FS: Delta Sierra Juliet.
    19:12:28 DSJ: Delta Sierra Juliet. Melbourne (open microphone for seventeen seconds).

    Role PMs are on their way out. Do not discuss your roles with anyone (except your mentor) until I let you know that all have been distributed and give all the game mechanic information

    It looks like you need one more mentor, so I'd like to sign up to mentor if possible.

    I am on EST, generally available between 9 AM and 10 PM.

    There will be less mentors than players, due to mafia typically getting one mentor for the whole group.

    Roles are out, you may begin discussing.

    This game has 1 seer, 1 vigilante, 1 guard, and 3 mafia with 2 nightly kills that decreases to 1 when there is one mafioso remaining (see the OP for definitions of those roles).


    As a reminder, every day, you must vote for someone you find suspicious in bold red. The person with the most votes at the end of the day will be removed from the game. In the event of a tie, the person who had the higher number of votes just before the tie will be eliminated. If you make a vote, or do anything that could be construed as a vote, and you then edit that post, you will be smote (smitten?). Most severely and without prejudice. Also follow all the other rules of the game listed in the OP.

    Are those all of the special roles? Do the mafia have any abilities besides the two kills?

    The 3 listed specials (seer, vig, guard) are all the special village roles in this game. The mafia have no other abilities except that they are masoned.

    Another important note. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you allowed to include mentors on conversations between players. They are there to talk to you and you alone. You can tell them about conversations but they cannot be a part of them. You should also not reveal to anyone who your mentor is.

    Alright, reading between the lines of the report, it's pretty obvious that the alien menace is already among us. I for one do not welcome our new overlords. Is there any particular reason you marked Invictus for death, Anialos?

    There usually isn't any reasoning for a Day 1 vote, but if I had to give one...he's the new guy I'd be most terrified of as a mafia that isn't CesareB?

    CesareB

    If someone has to go on the first round, it might as well be the one who's played in more Phallas than the rest of us.

    Fair enough! In which case, I'm going to go with [red] CesareB [/red].

    Oh my god, how unbelievably rude of me! It's a lame excuse, but I was on work travel all last week, and had a tough time keeping up with everything from my iPad.

    Allow me to rectify: Hi, CesareB! How have you been? Not sympathizing with aliens since we last spoke, I hope!

    Boy is my face red, even though my above vote for CesareB isn't. I'm double posting because of the editing rule and make sure my vote is hopefully clear. Maybe I should do this in the morning after a cup of coffee instead of just before bed! (Or maybe I need a better tinfoil hat to stop the aliens screwing with my BBCode?)

    To color votes, you need to use the BBCode
    [color=red]
    

    :)

    If you mess up a vote, just make it again. There's never really a penalty for voting more than once if the first one counted, and it's better to vote the second time just in case the first one didn't count. Lest you be marked for inactivity

    Yah, you'll want to fix that with a fresh vote post.

    Hm, I get that there's not a ton of reason for our lynch day one, but why don't we not pile on a lot of votes onto one guy, particularly when that guy's a good player? That's just asking for the mafia to hop on. I want to see what other people say before I vote.

    Agreed, that's why I didn't vote for CesareB, he needs a chance to redeem himself for the plague fiasco =p.

    Also, putting something out there that is obvious for the mafia to hop on is a decent way to catch one. Infidel did this to me. Threw out a bait vote with a little shaky reasoning and when I bit he hung me for it.

    The Day 1 votes will probably change a lot. People make a bunch of initial jokey votes based on past experiences, but eventually some party pooper diligent soul will say, "Guys, srsly. Let's do this."

    So at some point, some helpful person typically makes a list of the votes for the day. Some people will make a GoogleDrive spreadsheet, but I don't have a Google account that doesn't use my real name. At any rate, these appear to be the votes as of 7:53 pm:

    Invictus: 2 - Anialos, Duke 2.0
    Anialos: 1 - Gizzy
    OminousLozenge: 1 - CesareB
    CesareB: 2 - Stilts, OminousLozenge
    Gizzy: 1 - Mikey CTS
    Mikey CTS: 1 - Snowglobe

    Good morning Shen. Likewise, this is going to be an early morning/ witching hour game for me.

    Actually, you make a reasonable point. I no longer wish to vote for [color=lime CesareB [/color] . From that logic, I think we should vote for Stilts . Possibly he was trying to eliminate his most dangerous target first.

    Of course there's always the possibility that Invictus is covering his mafia buddy, but what happens in the night should hopefully be revealing.

    Unless the host is really weird, you don't actually have to do a lime retraction.

    And even if you make a BBcode booboo, resist the urge to go back and fix it. Editing vote posts is strictly verboten

    The person that was ahead in the vote prior to the tie (according to the post ordering by vanilla, which does sometimes have time-traveling posts) will be eliminated.
