If you are really in for the journey, the order should be IV, V, pause movie watching and play shadows of the Empire, VI, I, II, The Clone Wars, III, Rebels, and VII... Excluding the time spent playing shadows, this is a 68 hour and 36 min process... After all that you can go ahead and play all of the Old Republic games.

Voted mac

Why!?

Not bothering to respond to Spacedaisy's case on you.

Not giving a reason for voting me.

If you are a civilian.

The festivities on Endor had picked up once more after the kerfuffle with the translator droid. Black Squadron’s leader, a pilot named Jack, was putting on a sort of impromptu concert with his brother Kyle. Songs filled the air and everyone’s spirits were lifted so much that it was hard to believe they’d been fighting a war at all. The problems of the galaxy seemed so small. But this peace was not to last for long, as over the din of music a great rumbling could be heard. Looking to the skies of Endor, the rebels spotted several Imperial ships entering the planet’s atmosphere, no doubt carrying battalions of soldiers.

“How did they find us!” someone cried out. “Betrayed, we’ve been betrayed!” another voice shouted. The rebels scrambled to gather their weapons and take up defensive positions. A few hundred yards from the encampment, the imperial forces began to amass themselves, preparing for an assault. They were on the rebels as suddenly as they’d appeared, attacking with the familiar cold efficiency of the Storm Trooper. The ensuing Battle of Endor was as long as it was brutal, and there were casualties on both sides. When the dust cleared, it appeared as though the rebellion had won the day. The Storm Troopers of the Empire were retreating, pulling back into their transports and leaving Endor and it’s people to reflect on the blood and destruction they had wrought.

The rebels watched the retreat cautiously, firing their blasters to drive the Troopers back further and further and keep them away from the wounded and the dying. A few brave soldiers charged into the open field of battle to bring their brothers and sisters back into friendly territory. Once the retreat had completed, everyone stopped to take stock of their current condition. The city itself had been ravaged, many of the trees and structures blasted and burned to rubble. Where once music could be heard now only the cries of the wounded rang out. Jack and Kyle, who had survived the battle and rallied several members of Black Squadron together, were leading the recovery effort when Jack noticed something was off.

“Why did they retreat so quickly? They were winning. Wait a minute…” Jack tapped Kyle on the back and dashed to the command hut, where he found the door had been caved inwards. The inside of the hut had been completely ransacked. There was no sign of Mon Mothma. The Rebellion’s last best hope for leadership had vanished, lost in the chaos of the battle.

===

Mon Mothma sat in chains on board the Imperial transport shuttle, flanked by two members of the Syndicate, Moff Tarkin’s specialized task force. They’d used the battle as a cover for their boldest operation yet, the kidnapping of the Rebellion’s figurehead. Since the Syndicates formation, they had conducted several key operations against Republic leadership, but none was as successful nor as impactful as this.
“Just kill me already.” Mothma finally said, breaking the silence like taking a hammer to glass. A few of the soldiers exchanged glances and smirks before one of them, a dashingly handsome man with the call sign Aces, jabbed the butt of his blaster into her face.

“If our orders were to kill you, you’d be back on Endor with a hole in your head sweetheart. Nope, Command wants you alive. We got plans for you.”

Shortly thereafter, the Syndicate escorted their prisoner to the personal quarters of Grand Moff Tarkin, who greeted them all with an enormous grin.

“Mon Mothma, how gracious of you to join me in my time of celebration.” The Moff began, waving off the Syndicate. They dumped the rebel into a nearby chair before departing.

The Moff’s quarters were large and extravagant as anyone would expect; no doubt one of several perks related to his ascension. Its most elegant feature was a large glass window that looked out into the stars. In this case, the view to the Moff’s room was largely dominated by the planet Endor. He turned on his heels, staring out the window and allowing Mon Mothma to stew in her silence for a while.

“The war is over.” Tarkin finally said, quite matter-of-factly. “You’ve lost, and over the next several days you will tell me everything I need to know to make sure of it.”

“And if I don’t?” Mon Mothma lifted her head high, defiant even in her current position.

“I was hoping you’d say that.” The Moff pressed a previously unseen button on a panel just to the right of his large window, and spoke calmly into the intercom.

“Fire the weapon now.”

Bubbles has been lynched, she was Mon Mothma
Bass has been killed, and the planet Endor destroyed
It is now Night 12 (Technically the final Night on Endor)

So...

Bass was just killed by Empire and we have no Hutt's been defeated message. So I guess Bass was a civ too.

You never told me what you thought about my post about Daisy.

I don't really have any? I think she is bad still but I am the wrongest guy ever.

The Jawas are at it again!

Saberstaff - Double lightsaber beams allow a player to double his or her vote on one occasion. Votes against Jawas will not count.

PM your bids to the hosts by the end of the Night.

Aw Shucks

Wow.

Rip Bubbles, rip Bass (maybe).

Damn! I'm usually good about voting, even when swamped, so my apologies for missing it like a dunce Would've either voted Bubbles (out of laziness from being busy) or Daisy again. Perhaps I'll be conscientious and use the extra Christmas time to catch up with the thread, since my family has a pretty low-key Christmas.

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!

Hello everyone.

Bye DF

Dom, DrWilgy, MacD, niju, Russ, Daisy

Confirmed baddies.

I'm still not cured Wilgy. So now I will get lynched today unless everybody votes the same way against another player. Seems pretty fucked that you just somehow didn't cure me.

I've attempted to cure you twice now, so idk what's up.

What about it is fucked?

Nope.

Do you think we should lynch Mac or Wilgy today?

I've been utterly convinced that Glorfindel would not sub out if he had a team but we're gettin' down to the nitty gritty soooo

What was the og case on Glorfindel?

;__;

Fyi, still think Mac was fibbing about force voting. Let's get 'em!

Well I gotta jet.

I'm going to vote niju cuz eff it, one of the lurkers has to be bad.

Or vote Mac.

I would like to test something.

Mac, I'm voting russ. You stated that you believe that he is third party, will you vote for him to save your life on the assumption that you are still poisoned, or were you lying about that and vote somewhere else?

I don't believe that I wasted 2 nights on you at this point.

Hmm... Nvm, I did the math wrong. Are you voting niju Mac?

I'll just sit back and watch.

Mac, how do you know you're still poisoned?

Matt wrote:Well I gotta jet.

That was a poor decision. I'm no lurker - just preoccupied. Here's me with some free time!

I don't want to vote Mac. I've had good feelings about him for the majority, if not the whole game. I don't want to vote Russ. I don't want to vote myself. I am willing to vote wherever is needed to keep those lynchings clear. How poisoned are you, Mac? I haven't been keeping up with the math.

Anyway, I'm traveling today and doing busy things, but I'll be able to check in via phone (and possibly computer) later on, so I'll hold my vote for now. Still leaning Daisy, but again, I'd like to actually help out/have my vote count more than it has the last couple of rounds.

Hey Dom, do you think Mac is lying about still being poisoned?

Dealing with him is making my nights rather busy.

How about we just spread out one other vote and see if he dies or not.

I am cured now. They sent me the PM late.

Votes are all on indys. Great.

Oh Wilgy hasn't actually voted. That is good.

The bads are between Matt, Dom and Daisy. At least 2 of the 3. Matt tossed his vote away like a weirdo. Daisy for vote.

Dang, the poll ends during a huge game for the Bengals.

I may vote Matt. I could also vote other people, though.

Russ - Jawa
Niju - Jawa
Wilgy - Tuskan

Russ and Niju are both basically cross claiming by not disputing the read. This coupled with the dead Jawa's legacy makes me sure of them. Wilgy could be just a bad guy sending fake messages I guess... but Faraday seemed to be okay with him towards the end so yeah. I am pretty happy that all three of these are sorted.

Dom - Possible Hutt partner. I had a few pings around that ages ago but preferred other candidates that were proven wrong. His vote was absent on the day that Zebra, Brian and Enrique (all dead confirmed Hutt) were the candidates. That's not alignment indicative but it's strange as it was the only day he no voted. He could have also been silenced. If there are any of the four remaining who Zebra's last movements made look civilian it would be Dom and myself.

Matt - I believe he is Lando Calrissian based on the fact that he believes I am lying about my forced vote. He's done similar things before where he mistakes things for role claims. I think he thinks I am claiming his role. When in actuality (and I'm sure most agree) there are actually other quite obvious instances of force voting in this game. Matt seems to believe I am lying about being force voted, but he hasn't voted for me much (if at all), because I think he puts his vote up for sale so he can't actually choose who he is voting for hence voting for people like Niju and Bass randomly.

Daisy - Glorfindel and Daisy have been suspects all game. MP is evidently notorious for distancing so his insistent voting of Glorfindel and Daisy is (apparently) reflective of scum MP. Aside from that I sensed the sort of mafia panic in Spacedaisy when she was close to being lynched, the day she started personally insulting me (no hard feelings haha) didn't feel to me like a civilian (especially a replace in civilian) desperate to survive. Look at every other non Mafia lynch. Rarely did our civilians buck much. Spacedaisy reacted very angry. Like the last of a scum team would.

Mac - Golden had a scum read on me. He based it on the fact that he thought I was leading the town down wrong paths incorrectly, which since his demise has only made me look worse tbh haha. Aside from Matt saying I'm lying when I wasn't I haven't seen much else accusational towards me. I guess me being alive still is weird.

If we lynch Daisy today and we don't land a bad guy, it'll be terribly unfortunate. Dom is pretty likely to be the last Hutt at this point. Especially when you factor in his choice of kills. Me going around him day after day is a reason to leave me alive, whereas DFaraday I believe is someone who Dom has played with and considers quite capable so taking him out is a tactical move for a guy like Dom. Matt would almost have surely taken me out by now if he was bad.

Spacedaisy + Dom are all that's left I think, with a small chance of DrWilgy's poison PMs being Empire trickery.

Russtifinko wrote:Dang, the poll ends during a huge game for the Bengals.

Yeah but I don't think he necessarily chose to vote for Niju. I am pretty confident that he is Lando or at the very least is a scum soft claiming Lando (highly unlikely).

"I believe he is Lando Calrissian based on the fact that he believes I am lying about my forced vote. He's done similar things before where he mistakes things for role claims.

Taking out Wilgy's Tuskan partner is also quite a tactical move for a solo scum to make to clean up options at lylo, and so would be lynching one of the Jawas here. If it gets down to it teammates will vote together to win so taking out indy teammates makes it harder for the non scum to vote together. I would guess Matt's vote was bought by a bad guy, probably the same one that killed Faraday. Which all sounds very tactical. Very Dommy.

Assuming I don't get wagoned here I am gonna try to buy Lando's vote tonight. Russ, Niju you two should have lots of money from your Jawa sales so you should try too, and make sure that he votes for Dom tomorrow. If we lynch Daisy today and she flips Empire and is the last one, Dom will acquire the kill. Being likely to be a Hutt he probably has money too, so he might have the vote reduction machine which could take 3 votes off himself. With just Matt, Wilgy and one of us three left it would be important as fuck that everyone votes for Dom tomorrow on the off chance that he does because he would only get lynched 1 vote to 0 in that case.

Similarly it's important that everyone votes the same way today. Wilgy, Russ, Niju you should vote for Spacedaisy in case it is her that has the machine.

Wilgy have you poisoned anyone else and not cured them? If you have not, I implore you to poison Dom tonight if you are able.
