totally down to the wire.

[Olar Ethil]

Oh yeah, I said Barghast instead of Osseric, whoops. Probably because Barghast has... 3 posts, although he does appear to be making an effort with his time.

[Osseric]

Right, I'm here now, reading up.

[Serc]

Makes a nice change to see a game where every single person has laid a vote on day one though.

Anyway you look at it, this has been the best played "day one" in forever. Good job to all who contributed.

Could we get some reasoning behind the vote please.
Why do you think he's a better candidate for scum?

It is mainly his fixation on finding Neo, when he shouldn't be our priority right now. We have two (well, three) killers out there, one of whom essentially becomes a recruiter after the Reload. It's also that twice now he's tried to find loopholes through the rules to find Neo. To me he's either a terrible inno, or he's scum trying to narrow down his list of suspects to avoid.

Plus the whole Emurlahn case is really that he's done nothing, and has not gotten his dumbass act together despite several votes. There's no content there to point him towards being scum or not, which is why I'm not voting for him. Smart scum wouldn't be that blase about all these votes either (and aren't I the optimist...).

EDIT: Geez, this is close. Who will lose? *DUN DUN DUN*

I bow to your wisdom sir.

[Olar Ethil]

Woo, I'm on the edge of my seat here... and it's Day 1!

Here's a fun question for the 7 of us not about to get lynched--if one person gets lynched and is not Neo or the scum, does that mean the other person is more likely to be scum (not Neo) because of potential lynch steering?!

edit: that should read 9, not 7... I think I was counting from the original lynch vote requirements.

[Gamelon]

Having looked back over Emurlahns posts more carefully, im actually not getting a sucm vibe from him anymore and i think hes probably innocent so i think im going to change my vote because at the moment while not Neo, Omtose could definitely have been scum trying to sniff out neo. so
Remove vote

vote Omtose

[Ruse]

Snatches the Hammer from Osseric!

[Serc]

Osseric, out of interest, and before the CF, which way would you have voted?

Edit: Forgot there was no cf. Still, question stands...

Office inside the Matrix
Agent Smith: Have you ever stood and stared at it, marveled at it's beauty, it's genius? Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world. Where none suffered. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world would dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your civilization. I say your civilization because as soon as we started thinking for you it really became our civilization which is of course what this is all about. Evolution, Morpheus, evolution, like the dinosaur. Look out that window. You had your time. The future is our world, Morpheus. The future is our time.
Agent Brown: There could be a problem...

On the Nebuchadnezzar
Neo: What are they doing to him.
Link: Breaking into his mind. It's like hacking into a computer, all it takes is time.
Neo: How much time?
Link: Depends on the mind. Eventually it will crack and his alpha patterns will change from this to this. When it does, Morpheus will tell them
anything they want to know.
Neo: Well what do they want.
Link: The leader of every ship is given codes to Zion's mainframe computer. If an agent got the codes and got into Zion's mainframe, they could
destroy us. We can't let that happen.
Neo: Trinity.
Link: Zion's more important than me or you or even Morpheus.
Neo: Well there has to be something that we can do.
Link: There is. We pull the plug.
Trinity: You're going to kill him? Kill Morpheus?
Link: We don't have any other choice...

So I'd just finished reading up, was mulling things over, and BANG! It's done before I get my say . For what it's worth, I would probably have gone for Emurlahn - seemed like a pretty good candidate for Neo, really, and the case on Omtose didn't seem all that strong.

EDIT: Crosspost with the death scene.

[Olar Ethil]

Wow, that was quite a finish! Gamelon lurks his way to a vote and then steals the show with a retraction. In the end, Omtose goes down after all.

I'm curious how Link's CF ability works. Maybe he has to tell P-S to let us know and we get the info in the next phase or something.

[Ampelas]

Huh, no CF...I assume that means Link has to tell us who he was?

EDIT: we get a scene? cool beans.

I'll probably be annoyed if Night is long because everyone was on and posted a vote, so everyone that has a NA should hopefully have gotten something in.

But it's my downtime anyway in a few, so no big deal I guess.
