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

Right, lynching is both good and bad right now. It's good because it will give us some information, it's bad because it reduces the amount of time the robbers get to escape. If we lynch a robber, they get to do three killings as well.

They have guns, we don't. I'm making a guess here, but the staff probably don't win if the robbers succeed in getting away. After all, it's their bank getting robbed.

... Oddly, our best hope is the elcor. Whatever his powers are, if I'm reading the rules right, he can't be killed, nor can he be lynched.

And now for some game theory: The days here don't behave the same as in Reapers. We have an hour advance from day to day. Lynch votes remain until a lynch is done. There's no such thing as a no-lynch day in that there is no night phase, if I'm understanding the rules right. And since we reduce the time limit on the robbers escape when we lynch, we really need to be certain about who we're lynching. I also suspect that the robbers will vote as a block in the lynching, which means if we get to 7 non-robber votes, there is no reason for them to not vote all at once.

"Right! I'm instituting a new rule! Now, you gentlemen may not know it, but I am a huge fan of democracy. Which is why I'm very distressed to see a LOW VOTER TURNOUT. It really, really... bothers me. You hold within your hands the power to choose who amongst yourselves you will tear into itty. Bitty. Pieces, yet you do not use it."

"This is simply not an acceptable course of action! Anyone who has not yet voted shall speak only in sleazy limericks! Except the krogan. You shall keep this speech pattern until you decide to participate in our great democratic system!

There once was a bunch of dumb robbers,
Their hostages they all tried to bother.
The asari just laughed,
"I'm better by half!
So go screw your fat, whorish mothers."

There once was a confused human lass
Whose limericks tended to suck royal ass
The orders couldn't click
Nor was there a person to pick
I'm unsure and may have to pass...

Yes if you insist my good sir
I'll vote gladely at this hour
I then vote Figulus
May you ever forgive us
Punching robbers lacks smarts I fear

Voilà, ici, mon seul omnitech pour toi
Putain de connard, merdeux sans loi
Le lynchage sans valeur
Comme vous mon bon sieur
J'baiserai une pute pourrie avant ça

Now I'm just a big volus baby
Who's waiting for someone to save me
But I've an idea wherefore
We unmask our captor
The krogan could help me out maybe?

A lynching reduces their time,
This line completes the rhyme.
So we shouldn't just lynch,
As our fates it will clinch,
In short, don't start arbitrarily lynching each other when we have no fucking idea who to target, you morons-me.

@Fetchquest

You sound like you have an idea.
Could you, perhaps, be more clear?
The meaning of "captor"
and why ask the raptor (krogan)
This is supposed to be sleazy so "penis".

Proctor I must disagree,
though it reduces our time by three.
Still we should debate
and not hesitate
If scummy we find one to be.

The krogan can shake off a shot
A bonus that volus have not
If we take off his mask
Can we do that, I ask
He might be sent to a prison to rot

Edit!

The elcor would work I suppose
But the krogan I also propose
I don't want a lynch
Though we're in a pinch
Let's see if he's useful, who knows?

You make convincing arguements, but the krogan is a wild card. He seems edgy, but so far you're right. Killing eachother helps the robbers.
Can't believe I am doing this Again
Unlynch: Figulus
No new votes

So let me just recap the plan:
You think there's an inside man.
So we lynch each other,
While the robbers recover-
Spirits, that's one hell of a plan.

This one does not believe
all this talk is soulless, robberee
What good are votes
When you twist them into jokes
This one casts its vote on itself, "whoowee"

LYNCH HIERARCHY_DAD

...

...

...

Here's what happens, the second C-Sec sees the hanar starts to threaten suicide they call the robbers. The security forces don't want any death's and are willing to compromise, if the robbers agree to let the hanar go they will have agree to multiple demands reducing the wait time by 5 hours.

Good going people.

"Alright Foureyes and Hierarchy dad, you're both done with your limmericks. But if the cops are willing to let us go early to stop a suicide I say we use this. That sound good to my colleagues?"
