I wondered if you'd show up... :-) Not proud of myself but at least I keep my streak of inexplicable moves/mistakes intact.

Scoop, I've got to say, that was one of the best blaze of glory moves I have seen in one of these games. Nice job taking out a special on your way out too.
This reminds me of something...
Interrogator, "How many days are there?"
Scoop, "There are four days."
Interrogator, "Are you sure? You don't remember three days?"
Scoop, "There are four days!"

Thanks BB but I actually think if I had read the rulez I would have been able to off vorret and blow someone else up. Instead ... well, we will see if I made much of an effect.

Does El Guapo know this attempt to convert Unagi failed? Isn't that as good as a scan?

BSG XI Story so far... BSG XI-Amduatey Virus Virus implanted in ship. Discovered and cut off from spread to fleet. Must find Cylons before rescued. Aboard the Fleet Ship AmaduetyThe council meeting wound down for the night. A decision was made to reduce water rations by half a liter until the scout team returned with any news of a water source to replenish the supply. On the agenda for tomorrow; what to do with two captured Cylons. A Six and Four unit. Several heated exchanges over the past week on the proper course of action had resulted in no decision. Adama trusted this council to make the choice. A power outage interrupted the closing of the meeting. The council waited as the emergency lights kicked on. “What the frak just happened?” Newcastle asked. In the darkness someone could be seen at the computer console. “This is weird but I think communications is working at the moment.” At that moment a message comes through, “Amaduety, this is Galactica. Can you read?” “Galactica this is Amaduety, we read. Chaosraven speaking. What’s happening?” “Amaduety, we need you to shut down all networks now. A Virus has been uploaded to the ship and it is spreading fast.” Chaosraven races over and begins typing into the console. “Network is locked.” “Excellent, it spread fast, it has infected the Pyxis also. They are locked down now. It seems to be stopped but it originated from your location. A terminal in your area.” Remus West’s looks up, “Cylons? Someone here must be a Cylon. We must lock down the doors until we can figure this out. No one is going anywhere. I suggest we try to get some rest and tackle this in the morning.”Tigh scans MoliereAs the council members debate who to test, you decide it is wise to so your part to search out the enemy. If they find out you are also Cylon they may not care if you are trying to help them or not. You enter a momentary trance to search out a Cylon signal in the room. You have only one chance today or the other Cylons will be able to pinpoint you and your scans. You quickly focus on Moliere, nothing comes through over the Cylon frequency. Moliere is a human. 0815This council did not mess around on the first day; their decision was swift. When Moliere talked about humans, as if he was not one, everyone pounced. Moliere offered little resistance. The “death needle,” as it had become known, was brought forward and Moliere was injected. He lay on the table and with his last few breaths he whispers, “Tell my family, I did this for them and I love them.” Punisher steps forward with the Baltar Cylon Detector, another required item on ever ship these days, and held it to Moliere’s head and waited. People’s hope were diminished after Moliere’s last words but they also hoped it was a trick. Alas after several minutes nothing happened. Moliere was human. With such a quick outcome some on the council began looking into the virus that had infected the ship. They noticed the doors were now frozen. They were trapped in the conference center with no way to open or close the doors. The virus was still creeping through the system slowly. How long before it hit the life support systems. They worked to slow it even more. By 2100 hours everyone was tired. They headed to whatever room they could find that was still open and retired for the night.[/i] Night 1 Apollo scans MoliereAs everyone turned in for the night you decide to do a little snooping. Yoo creep through the shadows avoiding the emergency lights and find Moliere’s room he had occupied the previous night. You search through his belonging and find pictures of the family he mentioned. A pay stub from his work in the supply store and nothing else. He was just a citizen.D’Anna scans PunisherYou decide to use your skills developed from years of playing a reporting to investigate Punisher. You had watched him through the day and took notes. Before he headed to his room for the night you slipped off first and beat him there. You rummage through his stuff. You find a journal and in it you find a lot of angry entries. He really hated Cylons more than a normal person. His wishes to kill them all. It was obvious he had an unhealthy hatred for you kind. Punisher is Felix Gaeta.Boomer Implants a Fake Apollo RoleYou decide to put your recent research to a test. Manipulating the Cylon Brain Wave. It was dangerous because it could be detected if another Cylon was looking for it and you are aware there have been Cylons to sympathize with the humans. You set down and begin your re-calibration. You decide to test it on yourself. You decide to make yourself appear human, a human that is inquisitive and very good as detective work. If another Cylon scans you they think you are a very helpful human.Cylons kill BB2112BB2112 did a very strange thing today. It was almost a signal to you. He’s either a Cylon or someone up to no good. It was time to pay him a visit. After everyone settle down for the night you sneak off to his room. With everyone’s doors locked open this should be easy. You get to Bb2112’s room and find that he had moved chairs to block his doorway. There was sneaking up behind him. You clear your throat, ”Ahem. BB2112?” “Yes?” “Hey, just doing roll call to make sure everyone is in there room.” In the dark you act like you are marking him off the list. “Just need to check a few more. Have you seen…”You raise your hand to your face like you are trying to read the list in the darkness. “You gotta light?” BB2112 walks over, “Sure.” He hands you a pen light. He notices you do not have a list. “What the…” You pounce, jamming the pen light into his eye as the other hand muffles his scream. You drop him and head back to your room. BB2112 is dead.BB2112 is deadWith the doors locked open you have no way to hut yourself up. You decide to slide some chairs to block the door so at least you could hear if someone tried to get in. As you were washing your face you hear someone. “Ahem. BB2112.” You reply, “Yes?” “Hey, just doing roll call to make sure everyone is in there room.” You see a figure standing in the door trying to look at something in his hand. . “Just need to check a few more. Have you seen…You gotta light?” You get your pen light out of your pocket and walk over and hand it to him. You then notice he hand nothing in his hands. “What the…” The figure pounces and jams your pen light into your eye, you scream but it is muffled by the figures other hand. The world goes dark and you are dead.Zarek converts HolmanDuring the day you listened to people conversations trying to find a sympathetic ear for your cause. Holman seemed ideal. When you talked to him he really seemed interested in your ideas. As you head to your room Holman approaches you and says he’s with you.” Holman You had listened to EL Guapo talk to many different people through out the day and his ideas really sounded like something you could back. You decide to help him out in his endeavor. You are now on the traitor team. Traitor Team Holman El Guapo
0800 AS everyone gathers the next morning to discuss the next steps in finding the hidden Cylon or Cylons and trying to stop the virus, Punisher speaks up, “I don’t see BB2112.” “Well, he did eat the spicy food yesterday. I’ll check on him.” Newcastle walks off and returns later white faced. “Uh, he is dead. The Cylons must have gotten to him last night. Without being able to close our doors we are sitting ducks.” Tigh Scans Grundbegriff No luck yesterday with your scan of Moliere and then he goees and gets himself killed. So you try again today. Grundbegriff slept through most of the day yesterday and woke after Moliere was killed. Really odd behavior. Maybe he’s a Cylon trying to fool everyone and was just in maintenance mode. You focus on Grundbegriff, trying to detect any signal and come up with nothing again. He is human. Avery sleepy human. Now hopefully he’ll survive the day. 1000 Vorret walks over to Grundbegriff whose head was down, chin resting on his chest, and gives him a shake. There was no response. Vorret checks his pulse and determined he was still alive. He gives him another harder shake. Only reply was a mumble of garbled sounds. Vorret walks away and grabs a marker. He comes back and draws a mustache on Grundbegriff’s upper lip, making sure to add a nice spiral at each end. In the background he hears Scoop talking and a vote of stessier. Finally some activity. 1230 As everyone was finishing their lunch, Remus West walks over to Chaosraven, he noticed that Chaosraven had not eaten yet. In fact he was just sitting there staring off into the distance, mouth open, and a little drool dripping from the corner of his mouth. Remus raps his knuckles against his head, "Hello. Hello. Is this thing on? One of you toasters may want to fix this guy. He seems to be malfunctioning.” 1445 The voting flew back and forth. Vorret kept speaking up, “Tru1cy needs to go.” A long pause, “No. stessier.” Remus West looks at his paper, “Ok, that’s 5…” Vorret yells out, “No. Tru1cy” “Frak me… jumping crotch crickets, slow down dude!” 1620 ”We are going to run out of frakking paper at the rate we are changing votes!’ Remus West looks down and scratches off another vote change. “I wish the frakking computers were working so we could do this automatically.” At that moment Grundbegriff lifts his head, “Hey ya’ll!” Everyone turns and stares at Grund and his drawn on mustache. His eyes close and a loud thud reverberates off the table as his head drops and smacks onto the surface. El Guapo points at Grundbegriff, “I’m voting for him.” 1850 Newcastle spews a stream of votes and withdrawals but then realizes it was nap time for everyone. He does wake Holman who then votes for Scoop, in turn arousing Scoop from his light sleep. Scoop screams out, “I am not acting aggressively!” This outburst causes Grundbegriff to stir, he mumbles, “I’m just a citizen.” Before laying his head back down. 2050 As the votes flew back and forth, everyone was startled when the emergency lighting went out. Small flashlights pierced the deep darkness as they worked to get emergency lighting back up. But it was no use. It had fallen victim to the virus. Portable torches were brought in to provide temporary lighting to the conference room. The day two decision was turning out to be much more difficult than the first day. 2315 It was approaching the 16th hour of deliberating about who to test next and most everyone was getting mentally tired. One exception would be Grundbegriff who still had his head lying on the table. An occasional mumble would escape his lips. “I’m reading,” or “remove some of your votes,” “I’m just a citizen.” No one really knew what to do with him. Stessier sat there and watched as people were intently talking about their sleeping teammate and casting votes against him. “What am I? Chopped liver?” Stessier fumed, “You know, I’m actually awake here.” Remus turned, “Shut up toaster.” 0045 Grundbegriff stands up and stretches, “Wow, I feel refreshed. Let’s get to work.” Everyone just stares at him. El Guapo speaks first, “Dude, we are all ready to get some sleep. We have been working, all frakking day!” Grundbegriff, completely nonplussed, just says, “Let me see the notes. I’ll figure it out.” He grabs the notebook from Newcastle and walks over to the snack table and begins munching on an energy bar. Scoop yells out, “That’s it! Grundbegriff!” With the vote Holman fights back a yawn as he quickly injects Grundbegriff. Grundbegriff in mid bite looks up at Scoop and Newcastle with accusing eyes. He points at them and falls over dead. Punisher grabs the BCD and holds it to Grundbegriff’s head. It remains silent. Grundbegriff was a human.
Night 2 Boomer blocks stessier After a successful lynching of Grundbegriff you decide to paint a big target on stessier, the other vote getter. You initiate some interference enveloping his room. If he is scanned they will hopefully think he is hiding something. DeAnna scans Holman You sit at your desk and go over your notes for the day. You concentrate on Holman. What can you learn from him? He seemed mischievous most of the day, his eyes darting around the room. At one point he dropped a slip of paper from his pocket. You picked it up and stuffed in your pocket. You reach in and pull it out. When you unfold it you see:
It appears Holman has treason on his mind. Holman is a traitor. Cylons kill Punisher The Cylon hater had to go tonight. He could be unstable and unpredictable. You grab some rope and head toward his room. As you approach you see him trying to scoot a cabinet against the opening, hoping to block the entrance. You slip up behind him and whack him in the head. He falls to the ground and you drag into his room and tie him to a chair. You then gag him with one of his shirts. You toss some water on his face and he snaps awake. You see his eyes grow big as he realizes who you are. If his eyes could kill you would be dead right now, but they can’t, and you begin to pummel his face with your fist. His muffled yells try to fight through the gag and you can only imagine the stream of profanities he must be saying right now. You continue to beat him until he is unconscious then you slit his throat. Punisher has been punished. He is dead. A visit to Punisher When you get back to your room you decide to try and barricade your entrance with some cabinets. God’s Damn those Frakking Cylons. You begin to drag one in place when something hits you in the head and the world goes dark. You wake later to a face full of water. You open your eyes and see someone standing in front of you. Had to be a frakking Cylon, you spew a stream of profane obscenities but the gag in your mouth muffles you words. The Cylon begins to wail on your face until you are unconscious and you never awake. You are dead. Apollo scans BB2112 You decide to make a trip to BB2112’s room and see what you can discover. You snoop through his belongings. You see a few electronic movies of the huge hit “Deep Space Battles” and some fan fiction he had wrote. A couple of pictures from a “Deep Space Battles” convention and photos with some of the stars, including the droid character, See-mi-PPO. BB2112 was just a fanboy citizen. Zarak converts Unagi You decide Unagi would make a good member of your team. He had a strong voice and people seemed to listen. His recruiting skills could be invaluable. You try to grab his attention all day but he didn’t seem interested in any of the clues you were dropping. You finally give up after a while. Your conversion failed. 0830 Everyone slept just a little later today after the late night frak up of killing another human. Hopefully today would have better results. As everyone grabbed some fruit you could see some looking around wondering if everyone made through the night. It became apparent Punisher was missing. When Scoop reported back with the news, no one was surprised. “Someone tied him up and beat the shit out of him. It was hard to tell it was even him. They then slit his throat.” “Frak!” someone yelled from the back. “We have got to kill us a frakking Cylon today!” Saul scans stessier Stessier was so close to getting the death needle yesterday but escaped death at the last minute. You might as well check him out to see if everyone’s suspicions are correct. As everyone was eating breakfast you go off to table alone and begin to concentrate. You hone in one stessier but something is wrong. The images you are getting back are scrambled. It makes no sense. There is some kind of interference or you are malfunctioning. Your scan failed. 1455 Scoop’s claim to be a good Cylon trying to help just didn’t add up. His nonsense fell on deaf ears. It was obvious he was a Cylon, a malfunctioning Cylon apparently, and that was good enough for everyone there. The votes piled up quickly. “I…I can’t believe you are going to kill me. I’m trying to help, I just made a miscalculation. Archinerd, we have been friends for so long.” Archinerd with a look of shock replies, “Friends? You just called me a Cylon and tried to get me killed. Frak off toaster.” Scoop walks over and hugs Archinerd, “I’ll miss you.” “Frak, get the…” A large explosion rips through the conference room knocking everyone onto their backsides. Bits and pieces of Scoop and Archinerd are splattered throughout the room. What appears to be a large chunk of Archinerds ass lands in the snack tray. Remus West, who was standing the closest to them had a mass of entrails wrapped around his face. Gagging, he runs to the trash can and begins throwing up. Scoop’s head lands in Chaosravens lap as he was slumped against the wall. He shrieks and tosses the head away, it lands at tru1cy’s feet. He gives it a switch kick and it skids across the floor and comes to a rest next to the doorway. It stares back at them with an evil grin. As everyone begins to come around from their initial shock more retching can be heard. This was going to take a while to clean up.
Night 3 Boomer blocks Holman What a shocking turn of events today. One of the secret Cylon models you’ve heard so much about apparently malfunctioned today, at least you hope it was a malfunction, because if all the secret models were like that one, they need to stay secret. You decide to initiate a block on Holman tonight. DeAnna Scans El Guapo You have so many juicy targets for research tonight but only time for one. You finally decide on El Guapo, he appeared to be up to no good. You noted how he skirted around the room, he seemed to be ease dropping on people's conversations. You’d occasionally heard him talk about his lack of confidence in the leadership on Galactica. He seemed to be trying to whip up a mutiny. El Guapo is Zarek. Cylons kill Remus West You had grown fond of Remus West over the past few months you had known him. Games of Pyramid, attending plays, but it was time for the friendship to end….permanently. You grab a pyramid ball out of a locker and head toward Remus West’s room in hopes of cutting him off before he gets there. You hide near the airlock as you see Remus approach down the hallway. As he passes the doorway you shove him hard into the room. “How about a game of Pyramid Remus?” In the dark Remus tries to see his adversary, “I can’t see a thing, how can we play Pyramid in…” Before he can finish his sentence the Pyramid ball smashes him in the face knocking him back into the airlock. You walk over and hit the eject button. The door slams shut and the outside airlock blows open. Remus is ejected into space. Remus West goes South What a frakked up day. You head to the shower as quickly as possible to wash the remains of Scoop, Archinerd, and your lunch off your body. As you pass down the dark hall someone shoves you into a room causing you to drop your torch. You hear, “How about a game of Pyramid Remus?” That voice sounds familiar but you cannot see anything in the dark, you speak hoping to buy some time, “I can’t see a thing, how can we play Pyramid in…” something smacks you in the face, felt like a Pyramid ball, you stumble back into a small room. As you feel around you realize it is the airlock. “Oh frak” you think as the door slams shut and the one behind you opens, sucking you out into the void. You are dead. Zarek converts Vorret After your failure to get Unagi’s attention yesterday you attempt to work on Vorret. He was listening to your ramblings and seemed interested and then Scoop went crazy and everyone’s attention was focused on his foolishness. Vorret ignored you for the rest of the day. Your attempt failed. 0815 Everyone returned to the conference room for breakfast but despite the massive clean-up no one could bring themselves to eat in the room after the mess from yesterday. Most nibbled on protein bars they had stashed away in their rooms instead of risking contaminated food. “Dammit, where is Remus?” “Oh no. Not Remus.” Vorret hurries off to West’s room and returns later. “I can’t find him. We need to search the area.” Teams split up and searched. Approximately 30 minutes everyone return. “No sign, but I did find a torch that was dropped near the airlocks. It was still on.” Stessier grabs the torch, “Could be Remus’ torch, think he was shoved out the airlock? He couldn’t haven’t gotten through the locked down doors.” “We have to assume he’s dead which means more Cylons to find.”

Does El Guapo know this attempt to convert Unagi failed? Isn't that as good as a scan? He does. And it is, it is a flaw in my mechanics but I think we will be OK for this game since they scanned El Guapo tonight and El Guapo tried to convert Vorret and failed also. My original rules had everyone as traitors even if they were special or Cylon they just wouldn't join the mutiny in the end.

Tigh scans tru1cy As the crowd was still talking about yesterday’s events you step aside and begin to focus on tru1cy. Any connections or signals from his brain would indicate Cylon but again you get nothing. Tru1cy is also human.

Vorret's botched reveal is pretty much a nail in the coffin for humans I think.. well. The Traitors actually could pull this off if they can get some more converts. The failed conversions are obviously cylons so they could potentially have a known voting block with El Guapo knowing who the baddies are. Time is running out.

Wow. Just wow. You would think after what just happened to Scoop, Vorret's reveal would have been flawless. This is going to get real messy. I wonder if one of the bad cylons is going to spoof Saul now and seal the deal.

Right bb2112!!! See its not so easy lol.
Actually it would be perfect if Unagi did nut it's too late and he doesn't have the guts. I would have done if I already had not.... Um never mind.

I am loving the conversation today in the game thread. The whole point of Boomers powers were to sew confusion since the humans had a huge advantage against the Cylons in this game. Unagi has been complaining about the odds against them in the Cylon forum. Yes, I did stack the odds against the Cylons, I wanted a real challenge for them. We'll see how it works itself out.
Of course, I didn't mean to add an extra challenge with Zarek but I inadvertently did when I made it that specials and Cylons could not be traitors. But that may not have an impact in this game anyhow.
