Do you want to clarify on comeagain? If he was a specialist, then the other potentially surviving one would know if you were lying.
I'm still trying to decide if they should out themselves. I don't see any benefit to it for the specialists.
Got a tip for us?

in future games, i think the insta-kill should be done in the thread, with the shooter posting the shot themselves (in some dedicated, pre-disposed format), so that the shot is in fact instant, without having to wait for the GG to read the PM and then posting about it some time later.
of course in that case the shout would automatically out the shooter.

ok I am going to vote for Queen of spades, until something else happens

Yes I agree, although I remember that in my first game jav insta-killed Moyank and chrmjenkins showed us the screenshots of said photo-finish (Moyank infecting - jav shooting). That had some charme as well.
how do you deal with such situations in general? I saw what he posted.
So did I. Which is why we shouldn't edit information out of posts, even if we screw up.
Tomorrow stated he is Apollo and that ComeAgain? was a normal human.
Please correct me if I misstated that Tomorrow (or anybody).
well, it was a simultaneuos post, besides, in this situation it could be ok that he can post until the shot is offically in the thread, introduced by the GG. you could still be lying, in principle (i don't believe you are, for the record)
following what silent panda said, maybe it is fair that tomorrow re-introduces his post, so at least everyone is one the same boat. ravenvii would have to have the last word on it

so twietee, wasn't it worth to stay up the extra hours?
The CIC is in chaos.
Two gunshots, both aimed at Commander Adama. The first one, aimed at his head, missed and hit an unfortunate crewmember who rushed to Adama to relay a message.
The second, fired in haste as the Cylon ran out of the room, hit Adama in the chest.
In the chaos, one saw the Cylon.
As the intense search continues, the battlestar is full of tension and suspicion. Order is rapidly breaking down as civilians glared at every and each person around them with frantic suspicion and the military scrambling as the command structure seems to break down.
In the middle of this, Athena was fighting her own psyche.
Athena Agathon
She is a Cylon. She knows this. She also knows that the Cylons could trigger her at any time. She could walk into the CIC, the trusting crewmembers paying her no mind, believing her to be one of them. She could have fired two shots, and disappeared before reverting to her "human" self.
And not know it.
As she collapsed in the middle of the corridor crying, people ran around her paying her no mind.
Except for two men.
"You did this. You shot Cmdr. Adama. You will die for this!"
"NO!"
As Helo and the soldier stood facing each other with Athena kneeling in the middle, the soldier lowers his gun from Helo's chest to Athena's head.
"You don't know that! She's been helping us! She's proven her loyalty!"
"How the frack do you know?! She's been playing us! Fracking playing us right into their fracking hands! She dies!"
*gunshot*
Athena slowly opens her eyes. She is still alive. The man who stood before her, however, is not.
Soldiers swarmed the corridor, shouting orders and forcing Helo to his knees.
Karl "Helo" Agathon
"What the frack is going on here?!"
Athena silently closed her eyes and dissociated her mind temporarily from reality. The only thing that registered was a specialist quietly saying "human."
Helo (twietee) has insta-killed Tomorrow, who is human. It is still day, and votes has been reset.

Not that we misunderstand each other: I for one think Tomorrow could post until Ravenviis narration comes in, because that's the first proof whatsever. I stated that I'm going to shoot him first in this thread, answered your post and sent the PM literally while Tomorrow was posting. Besides, I also don't think that just because I said it here openly in the thread, I'd have to do so in my PM, imho.
[/COLOR]so twietee, wasn't it worth to stay up the extra hours?
[/QUOTE]Someone disagrees.
we agree then.
anyway, moot point now, snce the narration is out.
sorry, tomorrow. it was so close!
terrific narrative revenvii !
Hmm, it's a shame we don't know if come again was a specialist. Given he died first night there's a 2/3 chance the cylons scanned him and potentially know something we don't. That helps us decide when to off Sythas.
Great narrative indeed..and I'll openly apologize here and now for my choice of clothings, understandable that severe measures had to be taken.
Sorry, once more, to Tomorrow. Please no hard feelings! But I know that the Queen of Spades got either off'd early or was a wolf in about 9/10 of the last ravenvii games, so I went with you.
wow, DP you THAT hot?!

It's typically considered taboo for dead characters to provide game-related info, but since it's already out there - you are absolutely correct with your assumptions.

[/QUOTE]I think it would help if we distinguish choices for instakills, etc. in a way similar to lynch votes - if it ain't bold, it doesn't count. Maybe change the color of the text or something. But up until I saw someone ask whether I had been shot, I only took your comments to be simple discussion, thinking out loud, if you will.
well, we are down to a pool of 5 people for 3 cylons:
queenofspades,
ricksnagwell,
plutonius,
jav6454,
SilentPanda
decisions, decisions....

Thank you Twietee,
I am the Baltar, but I really tought that Athena would not know I am the baltar if I did not defect first...
I really think we have no chance against the Cylon, but...
Since you guys want to keep me alive with you and will know when I'll defect, I'll share my scan with you.
Queen of spades

Those are not six.

Maybe you should have stuck your head out a little before during the discussion. Anyway, I didn't feel well with the role at all tbh. - at least not that much exposed.
Thanks for coming forward with the information. For me, this list is 3 out of 4. I am not a cylon. Seriously. I know it's just my word in a game where that's essentially meaningless, but I am not a cylon, not a cylon, not a cylon. Plain old human.
That said, I am changing my vote to no vote temporarily so I can go back through the thread with the new information.
I get the inclination to vote for me, but seriously, don't do it. If you kill me off, they get another kill in and we're effed.
We also have Sythas who (as per you anyway) is Baltar. He's bound to get turned tonight. Tomorrow 5 will be the majority if Starbuck can't protect and if we don't off a cylon, they'll be able to dog pile on a single vote providing they coordinate well.
If we take out one of the 5 on the list, we have a 2 in 5 chance of a citizen/special, a 1 in 5 chance of a cylon that explodes, and a 2 in 5 chance of a cylon. That's a 3/5 chance of a civ dying. Baltar might be a civ tonight, but unless I'm missing a rule (or you're lying about Baltar being a Sythas), the cylons will turn him tonight.
Kill a civ, pretty dang close to losing majority vote. Kill 12, you'll likely get exploded and won't be able to identify a person overnight (I'm assuming Starbuck, if alive will be protecting you as you're currently the most valuable asset). Kill a cylon and that'll be the best, but the most iffy.
I'm going with Sythas, although it's too close to my bedtime for me to lock it in without hearing counter arguments. I may lock it in once other people have responded and found the flaws in my statement(s).
----------
Didn't realize Baltar got scans... I might need to revisit myself then... although he's still likely to get turned overnight and therefore get no new information to give.
Even if we miss and they activate Sythas we'll still have 9 vs 4 and can lynch him tomorrow. He's only a liability if we suddenly can't do math. A vote for him isn't very telling either since both sides can have an argument for wanting him gone.
It won't be 9 v 4.
There are 10 players right now.
Kill Baltar, it's 5 v 3 tomorrow (Baltar and a citizen die)
Kill a cylon at random (Cylon and a citizen die), it's 5 v 3 tomorrow
Kill an exploding cylon at random (12 dies, citizen dies, citizen dies), it's 4 v 3 tomorrow.
Kill a citizen at random, (2 citizens die, 1 to lynch, 1 to cylons), it's 4 v 4 tomorrow.
Baltar or a random luck cylon kill is the best bet in my opinion. Hence my nod towards Baltar.
