Reapers XX: The Heist

Current Game Status: Game Over

Everything was going along just fine in the branch office of the First Bank of Irune when things went tits up. Four masked individuals, a vorcha, a drell, a human and a salarian entered the bank, shot the guards. They are keeping the customers and staff under gun-point as their safe cracker began to drill into safe to get the eezo.

The alarm was triggered however and now the robbers, and the civilians are all stuck in same building.

What's happening now! (Read This, There Is Important Gameplay Information)

1. At this moment the C-Sec is negotiating with the robber's fixer, in 12 hours from now the robbers will be able to leave the bank unarmed and rich beyond their wildest dreams!
2. Each robber can shoot one person an hour meaning the four of them can shoot four other players each hour. If they do this they 3 hours will be added to the time to leave. If they shoot everyone THEY WILL LOSE.
3. Any person who dies that wasn't killed by the robbers, of example by lynching results in reducing the robbers need to wait before they can leave by 3 hours, because C-Sec doesn't want anyone to be hurt. More importantly if you lynch a robber they all get free shots (except for the lynched).
4. The robbers can give simple orders to non-robbers, meaning ins short if they say you should write in haiku form you are expected to write in haiku. They can't order you to shut-up. If two of them give contradicting orders then the last (newest) order is the one that must be followed.
5. The elcor player must stay in character as described in your PM during play.
6. Don't try to kill the elcor, he's immortal. An attack might at most slow him down a bit.
7. The elcor player is free to ignore orders from the robbers if the whim strikes him, the elcor plays by his own rules, he's a maverick!
8. Remember your objectives, remember the private chats some of you have access too, remember that I am a sneaky guy and there's probably some sneaky stuff happening in the background... or maybe not.
9. Stealth actions must be sent via PM to me, non-stealth actions can be sent to me via PM or put on the board.
10. Lynch votes are only reset after a lynch, otherwise they will go on from hour to hour.

Rules:

1. No whining
2. My decision is final.
3. In this thread we'll enforce a short post rule: you are allowed only four medium sized paragraphs, anything longer might result in penalties or even mod-kill
4. The game time is counted in hours; each hour takes 24 hours real time, a schedule below will be posted for your convenience.
5. You do NOT have to post if you do not feel like it, but know that in doing so you're missing out, maybe not
6. There is a simple majority lynch; meaning 50% 1 vote will result in a lynch. Lynching does not advanced the day or hour. There is a delay of two hours between lynching's.
7. No editing of the post - Except for change of characters

Dammit krogan, what are-


....

Look here big boy, stop shoving your meat in everything you come across. While I'm sure it's....endearing to the ladies, and it's very impressive, as that last display showed, it simply lets these assholes ream us up our collective ass and walk away without so much as calling us a cab.

VVSVISVA - 1 vote

"Thank you. This human understands." He turned to look at the krogan.
"You. Since you're clearly mentally deficient, hold your tongue around your betters. If you have to speak, have the decency to do so in iambic pentameter."

Oh, charmed, to be sure. Just take my bloody OT and don't kill us, eh? You're going to get whatever's in that vault in a bit, you don't need to have us on bloody pikes to get that done.


...mate, there's Stockholm Syndrome, then there's taking the bloody piss.

Yeah yeah take the damn tool, I've got a lot of things I'd rather be doing than getting a bullet in the face.

You good sir have no shame.

Also. Lynching the robbers is a terrible idea. They get a free shot at us if we do it. Killing them hurts us, killing us hurts them. If we just let them go we still win. The krogan tried to kill one of them knowing this. Either he's a liability or he's doing it for weirdness of his own reasoning. Either way I don't want him around.

LYNCH FIGULUS

Hey hey heyheyhey... Okay okay... Woah this is uneasy.
First day in this bloody place and this is what I get...
Dear lord.

Okay need to stay calm. On the floor. Doing nothing.

please dont hurt me...

"Creeper moustache guy is right," said, uh...Miles Gloriosus, the turian, "You are voting to lynch people who have guns trained on us. Do we really need to review the logic of this? Just shut up and sit down. I don't know about you guys, but my money's insured by the Hierarchy."

"Oh, and, uh, fuck separatists and all that."

The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief.
Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
This above all, to thine own self be true.
I know a trick worth two of that, but then
The better part of valour is foresight

Yeah. In the interest of staying alive long enough to be able to make a decent plan;
Lynch: Figulus

OK, bonus points for the rhyming, mate, but no it isn't. Not with C-Sec doing their damnedest to save us, and not with four mad bastards with guns keeping us here. It's discretion. And you bloody well ought to have worked that out after failing to even touch the salarian a minute ago, yet you still want us to try and stand up and mug us our freedom with nothing but missed punches and fancy verses?

You're bloody mental, krogan. Right now I'm not sure if you're more likely to get us all killed than the robbers are. LYNCH FIGULUS, God help me.

Figulus: 3 votes

Remember: any lynching will result in the robbers having to wait 3 hours less before they can leave and so win the game. And to clarify everyone can vote to lynch including the robbers.

Look, sorry if I'm missing something here, but why lynch anybody? Yeah, sure, if the robbers walk they get all the money, but I'd like very much to be alive when all this is over. We don't lynch anybody, we all walk out alive, everyone's happy. Well, except the bank owners, I guess.

And, uh, here's my 'tool. Just take it, I don't want any trouble.

Because that Crazy Krogan bastarard is going to get us all killed.
Oh, and here's my onmi tool. Don't know why'd you want it, it isn't one of those flashy knife ones.

What noise is this? Not dead — not yet quite dead?
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement
Though this be madness, yet there is method
I must be cruel, only to be kind: Thus
bad begins and worse remains behind.
I would not be the villain that thou think'st

I will stay my hand, whilst you gain courage.

I'm very much on board the non lynching train! Let's make it through the day alive gents!

The drell coolly observed the hostages, gun trained on them.

"Here's the deal. If everything stays nice and quiet, then we might not need a lynch. But if any of you fuckers get the bright idea to start getting in the way of this operation, then there damn well better be some lynching going on. If not then I can guarantee a bunch of you bastards aren't walking out of here alive. We clear?"

"Doing nothing is never an acceptable plan".

The statement had come from a hitherto quiet asari. Pale blue, permanent scowl... She had an all together forgettable face, and for an Asari, that is saying something.

"Listen, this thing went to smoothly. They have someone on the inside, or I'm a bloody four-eyed squint. We sit around, we do nothing and... What, exactly? You trust that we won't just be killed once these robbers can escape. No, we need a plan of action. We need to take fate into our own hands."

And then, as if an angel spoke down into the minds of the robbers and decided to speak plainly what they thought and didn't want to hide behind role-playing:

Yeah... This is Reapers. I might not recongnize the set-up at all, but it's still Reapers. I mean, Dippy practically warned us that things might be happening in the background.

Anyways, the first rule of Reapers is NEVER have a no lynch day. If we have other hidden factions, it only gives them more time to plan and execute what they want to do. Not to mention we have NO GUARANTEE that the non-robbers win if we just wait it out. So, let's put on our thinking caps, gents.
