Investigation Lynch vote is for Jalu3
Leader vote Abstain

Jalu3 is being subjected to a lynch vote because he has absolutely refused to cooperate. We are by no means certain that he is an enemy, but he is ading our enemies by forcing us to waste time and effort that would bebetter spent discovering traitors.

" 'She's a witch! Burn her!' Yes I get the reference. I'm happy to let either Jalu or UnderseaLcpl verify my theory. It has taken me days and nights to work this thing out and at the moment what other hope do we have?"

*Dreams wistfully of winning the Nobel Prize...*

Hmm, well now I'm a bit confused, as there was no attack last night and Raptor was in the brig. :hmmm:

I thought you were a monster, because, shortly after it was revealed that there was an organised investigation and they had detected a monster, you started encouraging people to vote randomly to lynch people. This would be a good way to cause confusion and disrupt the organised investigation.

You also said that it was pointless to just put people in the brig and we should be lynching people, but the first person that is voted for, you put in the brig and do not lynch. I thought that this was to try to put suspicion on Raptor, as long as he was alive, then you could claim he was a monster, rather than lynching as you said you would.

Third reason to suspect you was that you were taking very large drinks of bug juice at regular intervals, when we alread knew that Silverraptor was a monster and he had also been drinking the bug juice. I thought this was a way for you to hide your monsterness. We know you have a good attention to detail and this is surely something you would have noticed. You still maintain that the bug juice test is valid, when it is not.

Fourth reason, you mentioned about military ships and how they are run, compared yourself to Nelson, but then mutinied, more Fletcher Christian than Nelson I think.

However, I've been advised that you may not be a monster, so I'm a bit confused now.

I vote Jalu3 for lynching.
Undersea for Leader.

*Approaches Nisgeis*

"I'll respond to your comments this one time, but only as an act of good faith and as a means to consolidate some clarification"

I have never and will never encourage people to vote 'randomly' or 'indiscriminatingly', but I will encourage them to act on their instincts and suspicions.

It is pointless doing nothing, that way you give the monster/s a distinct advantage....like a flock of ship locked in a pen waiting to be picked off one by one.

What is more confusing than everyone trying to bring an end to their plight yet totally paralyzed by a state of inertia?

DOING NOTHING IS NO LONGER AN OPTION

As I have made clear previously, my intention was to remove what was in my opinion the main obstacle to progress.

I am not decided on what I believe Raptor1 to be so what better alternative than to put him in the brig....narrows the field of suspects by two and will hopefully encourage people to decide for themselves.

I DID HAVE THE OPTION TO HAVE HIM KILLED, BUT CAN'T CONDONE INDISCRIMINATE SLAUGHTER

I honestly wasn't totally convinced of Silverraptors position for a while and the bug juice test I went along with because I actually believed it was a realistic part of the storyline and as such was accepted by all of us.

What of the new blood tests?

I await outcomes and will fit in with the storyline there as well.

I find it rather humorous that you introduce the word 'mutiny' and in so doing also sully the name of one of the greatest seafarers of all time.

The only comparison I used was a one of national identity.

I am not a crew member of the Thanatus but rather the rescue sub and beside, under existing military articles an individual can challenge the authority and competence of the leader if they consider the actions or inaction of said leader to be tantamount to endangering the lives and or craft under their control.

Was this not the case here?

If I am to agree with your use of the word 'mutiny'....was Fletcher Christian not justified in his actions?

Many would say he was.

I see you challenge my position as leader at the earliest opportunity.

Duly noted.

*walks once again to the coffeemaker and fills his mug and sits at a table*

"Now there happened something strange last night. So I heard this strange noise and I went to investigate. What I saw was a foul creature with glowing eyes. It escaped into the water just as I was going to jump it. Now I was not able to to recognize who it was."

***i vote jim for leader and jalu to be lynched*** //i wrote this on my phone so i'm not sure you will be able to read it//

"I thought I had freed you of your constraints and fears of reprisals"

"45 mins left to vote"

"If you don't vote...don't complain after....sheep can't talk"

Perfectly understandable Nokia.

"As I still have no idea as to who is something other than human, and I will not vote to lynch someone without evidence although it might be tempting, my Lynch vote is abstain."

"As for leadership, my support is still with Raptor as the legitimate ranking officer on this vessel. Therefore I abstain"

Lynch vote Jalu3.

Leadership abstain.

Pee of or off the pot people...

I'm sticking with my day 1 theory that there must be at least one monster in each of the crews.

There has yet to be one uncovered amongst the civilian/scientific so my instincts are to select from that group.

I vote to lynch Jalu and myself to maintain leadership.

I quit

*TarJak yawns and stretches and looks at his watch*

"Three days and nights I've been at this without sleep. I need a nap. Good night all."

*Gets up and walks to his rack, slides and and drifts off into a deep peaceful sleep*

*The hatch slowly opens, Oberon looks around, holding his knife in his right hand.*

"I heard that noise..."

*He slowly creeps out, shutting the hatch behind him and sneaks down into the reactor room to investigate.*

((Sorry I didn't vote, was at work.))

*Jimbuna suddenly appears behind Oberon, who nearly jumps out of his skin*

"Where the hell were you? Hiding in that rescue sub shatting your pants?

I can't think of a better way to bring attention to yourself".

*Without waiting to hear what miserable excuse he might offer he walked off and turned his head sideways to say "And put that pen knife away, uou might cut yourself"*

"Back...monster! Away with you!"

*He skulks down to the reactor room*

"The beast lies within us...within us all, but not us, no...no...we are too clever for him, we see past his lies. We see past his mask and see him revealed!"

*He chuckles to himself as he climbs down into the reactor room*

*Fed up with how the boat seems to turned in to a hive of machiavellian plotting, he heads to his bunk and pulls the covers over his head*

"Wonder if it's true - do the monsters go away if you can't see them?"

((Off out, hope to be back before 00:00, but may not be))

*Jimbuna is sitting at the bar looking at Oberon at the other end of the room pacing up and down whilst gibbering like an idiot*

*He thinks to himself "So Jalu was human after all. It can only be one of two ways now....either one or both of those in the brig is a monster, hence the lack of killings, or there are still one or more roaming free but daring not kill anyone for fear of drawing attention to themselves and wanting to fool us the monsters are in the brig"*

*A plan starts formulating in Jimbunas head....."Wheres that bloody convict with the test results?"*
