    I moved to R16

    if I die, its because I took some assault rifle bullets and there are limited people that have a clear shot to me.

    Just watch for that.

    I put in overwatch for my entire turn the moment I knew orders were open. Could this have been a bad idea, probably. If I live, I should be able to better position myself in a location that won't be tempting for grenade hits.

    No way does that sectoid clear the area in time

    Huh.

    I'm not dead, put in orders only to fire, and yet, I've apparently moved somewhere.

    Awesome.

    Also, now there is at least 6 aliens.

    We need to think of a plan.

    So either we're awful at the X-Com end of this or the order of operations substantially favors the aliens.

    Looks like the aliens that used to be in the north moved down south.

    Northern team should breach and enter.

    Is LOS able to be drawn around corners? For instance, if someone was at F34 could they see E24?

    Yeah, thanks to the "peeking" effect you get when taking cover. Your LoS is drawn around the corner of your own cover, to allow you to look down hallways, etc. So yes, F34 could see E24.

    No one knew I had it. I have only sent/received PMs from one person, IW, and that was him offering the heals.

    I mean, I got my orders in soooo fast. So either the aliens always go first or they have more than 3 health.

    Never mind, player error. I'm bad at this game.

    Carry on. I thought I was at p19 for like 3 days now.

    I'm terrible at this game.

    Alright I haven't fired a shot, as far as I know still sane. Turanos I think last night complained of getting shot. So barring me I believe only trust and mill are still in range and los of Turanos.

    Okay, if Obi's mafia all the actions are way over the top, but right now, kind of our best lead.

    Grenade thing has two possibilities. Either mafia, so we kill him, or the aliens get to act first no matter what we do, which means we are way deeper in the shit than we thought, and depending on fatality count, might be the time to head for extraction.

    If I'm wrong...

    hell. Ice me, then. Haven't been the star player. I mean, I'm innocent, but if Obi is too, the evidence looks grim. I shoot him, claim to be a medic so I can play the hero by offering healing, then bandwagon him? It'd be a pretty decent little mafia stunt.

    Again, sorry if I'm wrong. But it seems to be our best shot.

    No comms chatter kinda clears Chiasaur. He didn't Pm anyone yesterday and was the only target of the scanner. Obv not 100% but it is what it is.

    That's a pretty mafia sounding attempt to get the wagon started on me again.

    Complete with multiple "If I am wrong (which I totally know I am because I'm mafia and know Obi is village) then kill me next" statements.

    If I understand right, the scanner is what gives us the garbled comm logs. It picks up on PM activity in the target area.

    ... Well that would have been useful to know about earlier. Or, alternately, to have never known about at all.

    Can it be used on areas without players? We might be able to pick up mafia -> sectoid orders (not that it might do us that much good.

    I'm likely going to die tonight (Hi Kenneth and Jerry!). I expect that nobody will expose themselves to fire in order to save me.

    Obi -- sorry man. You've either been wrong about every single thing this game or you've been "wrong" about every single thing this game. I don't know which. This vote is a vote of confidence in your abilities and your gumption.

    @GrimmyTOA , we used this information 2 days ago to get rid of a mafia member due to the logs provided... I'm fairly sure this has been public knowledge for days now.

    My bad if it's not been clear, but I thought it was pretty explicit when the co-ordinates that were scanned that night were provided in thread.

    Bleh. I did try to vote but the forums were down and being in GMT means I either have to vote really early, before I've heard any good arguments, or sometimes end up not voting like this. :(

    @Turanos. For future reference, it's okay to throw up place holder votes. People generally don't hold those against people if there are compelling reasons to have a placeholder, which I'd argue a schedule falls under.

    I missed that whole thread of conversation, it seems. Ah well. Good to know we have it at any rate.

    Edit: Also, sorry if my first part came off a bit petulant. :(

    Yeah, I have tended to leave them when close times have been early enough to force me to get up early; better to participate in whatever capacity you can than not.

    So do we have any convincing candidates besides Obi at this point?

    undergroundmonorail because honestly I forgot you were in this game. Also I don't think Obi was lying about his grenade, as we can clearly hear one on the audio log immediately after all the insectoid sounds at the beginning.

    Do insectoids always go first in order of operations?

    I'm kinda sick of this "You've been wrong about everything" narrative. Just because I offer alternative wagons to those that are overwhelmingly popular, doesn't mean I'm wrong.

    It means I've been trying to expand the vote record and give mafia chances to trip up in their behavior. I just really hate bandwagons that everyone jumps on because it gives us no informationn for that day.

    That is fair, and to be honest I'm less suspicious than I was of you a few days ago, but I don't see a better vote target currently so I'll stick with it for now.

    This is more or less where I am, too. The people who I was most suspicious of (Turanos and peccavi) both died blue last night. Obi is sort of an unresolved question mark in my head.

    I am happy to listen to alternatives.

    Just a thought, but Turanos did say he was shot. I believe, as previously stated, that "it was either Mill, Vert, Megafrost, Flarne or SeGaTai."

    SeGaTai is no longer with us. My money is on Mill.

    Full disclosure, I was also in a position where I could have shot him.
