Hmm. Bad guys who I have from a reliable source have a seer, and also come back as a giant robot?
They would be the best bad guys ever
I'm pretty sure they don't sound like a mafia group that causes everyone else to lose. Though I admit I'm not totally sure on that, but it seems pretty reasonable.
All the actions happen simultaneously as said in the OP. So the Behemoth and my kill should come at the same time.
The best thing for the psychic is to talk to me for a 100% chance to win, either through a draw or through a killing of the non psychics. Otherwise he has a 50% chance to lose.
Yes because trusting you and siding with the Disciples of the goddamned Renegade sounds like such a flawless plan.
Right, so if he doesn't talk to me and I guess wrong, the game will be at BEST a draw for him, at WORST a loss.
If he does talk to me its a guaranteed win.
That word...I dono teenk eet means what you teenk it means.
Unless you're reliably guaranteeing that a draw is the same as a win, and I'd honestly want to see orange text from a certain supercomputer before I believed it.

If the last Psychic votes for the last non psychic, he will die before all actions. Guaranteed Psychic win.

Oo oo that's me! Pick me!
It's better to see it as factions:
Disciples vs Non-psychics.
Domarions vs psychics.

Better from your point of view haha. Of course you want to see it like that, silly.
There is more than one non-psychic. Just, you know, FYI.
Amtheaz Enmann sank to his knees. It was all over.
‘But... but... you’re a seer!’ he screamed at the communicator’s display. ‘You’re one of us!’
‘I’m not psychic,’ said Elsk, simply. The transmission was hazy and distorted by the constant explosions outside, but it was possible to see the man give a semi-apologetic shrug. ‘I’m a detective. I figure these things out with good-old-fashioned brain power. The sort that doesn’t make things explode or float.’
‘I...’ Enmann trailed off. What could he say, now?
The apartment finally crumbled under the sustained firepower of the Legionaries.
Outside in the dust, Trust, already murdered by the Disciples, was trodden on by the Behemoth. Perhaps it was just making sure.
The Legion sergeant, while grimly satisfied that Enmann had finally been killed, shuddered at the sight. The colossal robot walked away, appearing to make the whole planet tremble with every step.
‘Command killed the last of the Arcadian psychics,’ he said emotionlessly. ‘They had the robot do their dirty work.’
‘It counts as meeting our objective,’ said Captain Skye, somewhere in orbit but broadcasted by the officer’s communicator. ‘All the Arcadian psychics are dead. Ergo, any remaining psychics are hostile. Therefore, we can scan for psionic activity... and locate the remaining Disciple with ease. No interference.’
The sergeant turned off his computer. And threw up.
"It's all over then, hmm?" Officer Quotis murmured. "Such a shame. So many lives lost."
Third Inspector Carb shrugged. "It was this or blow up the planet, you know."
Quotis snorted. "Would have been faster, and about the same result."
Carb laid a hand on her arm. "It's not your fault about the Renegade-"
She pulled away, frowning. "Not my fault that an insane mass murderer escaped to continue his bizarre killing spree? Cold comfort, that. Cold as space."
They stood silently watching as the last Legion air fortress broke through the atmosphere and floated up to rejoin the fleet of capital ships and smaller vessels.
"Look on the bright side," Carb said finally. "At least some survived."
A million miles away, Rend was slightly disconcerted to find that there was a voice in his head. But he recognised it instantly.
So you survived. How fascinating.
‘You don’t scare me, computer. You’re just a lump of metal full of electrical impulses.’
That is because fear is futile. A waste of resources. Fear of failure merely taxes runtime and makes failure all the more probable.
You are just a lump of organic residue that happened to become capable of manipulating electrical impulses on an atomic scale. You were birthed by random chance, whereas I was birthed by a godlike ancient civilisation that was capable of stop-starting the Big Bang.
Anything you can do, I have been doing for thousands of years, Renegade.
‘My name is Rend. Remember it. There are worse things than me out there, you cybernetic bastard.’

@Edcrab: I had a lot of fun, I liked the dynamic. I await the post game report, as there seems to have been a ton of unexpected stuff.
@Trust: I was originally going to target El Skid but then he messaged me about winning with me so I changed it. Damn you trustworthy Skid. Why wouldn't you contact me Trust? Why would you have Psychics lose? We had a 100% chance to win. I hate you all.

Yeah, if you'd have controlled the vote to one of us, I think you'd have won. But tooo bad :P.
Oh, and if we'd have killed Ebfan, then the Arcadians would have won, but we Domarians would have lost. Which we couldn't stand for, of course, haha.
In the end, it came down to whether I wanted to side with the bad guys. I'd rather let El Skid win than let the bad guys win when I'm a villager. Simple.

You'd rather let your opposite faction, the non psychics to win, then your own faction. You sacrificed your own factions win for an opposing one.
Great. I know who I am grudging from now until forever.

The Disciples really weren't that bad, I don't think. I mean, if you can win with them it's not that bad, mm?

Wrong.
While he was 'an opposing faction', he was also an innocent Arcadian, like me. You got hung up on the faction side of things. I saw it as village vs mafia. At the last, I decided to do what felt right. And what felt right was not to let the goddamn mafia win.

When the Psychics can win with the Disciples of the goddamned Renegade it makes sense.

Trust and El Skid who are ???
Ebfan and I as Psychics
If El Skid and Trust are both non psychics then today would not exist. You are obviously lying.
But really, your assessment of this as a faction game is wrong. You die, everyone wins.

Wouldn't that be awkward if it had to eat itself?
Right which means
2 Non Psychics
2 Disciples
1 Psychic who can go either way and going with me means he has a 100% chance to win, going with you means he has a 50/50 chance.
Anyways its up that 1 psychic, us arguing does nothing.

One of those decisions being trusting me.
I fed godmode, kime and nocturne's roles to Rend, who I knew to be the renegade.
You'd rather let your opposite faction, the non psychics to win, then your own faction. You sacrificed your own factions win for an opposing one.
Great. I know who I am grudging from now until forever.
We tried to kill/convert you, but you had to go die on us.
I hate the RNG this game.
