WW LXXVII: The Metamorphs of Wolf-562-e

[Inziladun]

Hmm. The priority here must remain getting the comm systems up. Communication with Terran Command is paramount. They must be advised of our situation.
The engines must be repaired also, Chief Engineer Lottie. Odd how that problem suddenly occurred out of nowhere. Any explanations for the cause of the engine issues?

My vote will likely be for Blind Guardian. He/she is very suspicious.

That's a rather pointed accusation, Security Officer Eomer. I'd have wondered if you were merely making a joke, but I saw no trace of a smile when you uttered those words.

Unfortunate. That's going to make it very difficult for the Intel agents to save themselves under the threat of Metamorph plots to engineer suspicion against them.

Yes sir, Tech Izzy's already working on it. I'll check our supply of emergency beacons; hope those haven't been tampered with as well. Too bad we don't carry any hyperspace courier drones - too expensive for a ship of our class, I suppose.

Indeed. Also, it could have been quite an advantage for us if the Assassin could have revealed at a later time and tell us who has been hunted and survived, effectively giving us a few known innocents. Too bad, but it can't be helped.

Eomer - maybe it's obvious and I'm too daft to see it, or maybe it isn't, or maybe you haven't got anything and are just 'stirring the pot', or maybe... Which is it?

EDIT: fixed format again.

This. Nerwen's just balanced the game which seems fair to me. Wilwa's point is also good; though false reveals may be entertaining, it's fine that we won't have to worry about them.

Yes– I started to worry that there were just too many ways for the Metamorphs to be caught purely by elimination, which hardly seems fair when the gifteds are already so powerful.

What I said only applies to the Intelligence agents. The two secret roles are free to reveal if they choose.

Oh, ok, good to know. We'll have to be careful about anyone who comes out with made up roles then. As well, a Metamorph could come out as the Seer, but since they have to give up a wolf they'd either need to give up one of their own or blame an innocent (which would give them away within a Day). So, I like this rule a lot, it balances it out the game, but also will save us from all the confussion that false reveals can cause.

OK, point taken, and also about the balance thing. But as interesting as a discussion of Fleet Regulations (aka rules & game mechanics) can be, shouldn't we get down to finding the Morphs? I'd still like Eomer to explain his 'obvious' suspicion, if indeed that was supposed to be serious.

By the way, according to the personnel files, our two newer crewmembers are Ms Guardian and Mr Noia, I think. (And I'm Mr Pitchwife, for those I haven't met before; but Pitch will do.)

Yes. I am Ms Guardian. Not marryed so can't say Mrs

[Rikae]

Aw, man. False reveals are my favorite. Can't I just have one tiny little false reveal? Puhleez, Ms. Dead Captain? *whines* I don't want to ruin my record of revealing as a gifted in every single game I play.



Well, actually, I do have one of the secret roles. I'm the suicide bomber. If anyone votes for me, I explode and take the whole ship with me. Ha!

Hm, alrighty then. Better start tracking down the bad guys. I suspect Sally, because she has the potential to talk too much, and Eomer, because he talks too little. I suspect Wilwa for saying the hunter should never reveal, because I firmly believe xe is quite often more powerful when xe does.
I strongly suspect whoever jumps on me for suspecting the above people for flimsy reasons.
I even more strongly suspect whoever jumps on said person for suspecting me for such a flimsy reason.

That's all for now.

Edit: X'd with Pitch.

Interesting. What happens if you get Night-killed? Do you implode?

In endgames, yes. But otherwise it keeps xem from doing their proper job, because the wolves will know not to touch them (unless feeling suicidal).

Well, this being a rather quiet ship at the moment, there aren't such a lot of non-flimsy reasons yet. Talk, people, talk!

You're obviously lying. The security guards, before boarding, asked each one of us "Are you a terrorist?" so they've clearly got those bases covered.

Although I can't seem to locate my luggage...

[Paranoia]

A rather large man strolls onto the bridge, rage barely contained on his face. Taking in the friendly banter his right eye twitches for a full hour before he finally begins to speak.

*coughs* Eomer, weren't you in charge of making sure that a situation like this did *not* occur? I further find baseless attacks on Ms. Guardian, as loopy as she is, unwarranted. Please refrain in the future from attacking others without some flimsy reasoning at the least will be met with harshly in the future. And if Ms. Guardian is indeed a metamorph, I get the feeling we'll know before too much longer.



































Also, Rikae must be metamorph scum, hiding under a convenient guise of being a stowaway. *eyetwitch*

I shall do no such thing. My cabin fever ensures that I will not sit by while people idly speak of subjects other than the lynching of people.

String. Her. Up.
