There's no way Dreadnought should be a vanilla townie, not after what he pulled with Takhisis

I'm with spaceman, I have no idea what you are talking about. What did he pull with Takhisis?

Day 2​

The Shipmaster looked around the bridge and watched with a hardened look on his face. Some of these people were traitors to the cause which the true soldiers aboard were fighting. The Shipmaster hated traitors. He held such great hatred for them in the pit of his stomach that it would burn when he was confronted with one.

How ironic, the Shipmaster thought to himself. Here I am condemning traitors when that’s exactly what I am. A traitor to the Covenant. The Empire, the Religion, the Army that had been most of his life thus far…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But then he woke up from his daydream and saw the accusations flying. First it was one man, then another, then a third.

Then one man stepped forward and said, “I believe that Dreadnought is a member of the Flood!”

Dreadnought denied these accusations. But what had been said had been said. The votes piled on, and on, and on.

The day came to a close, and the crew was calling for Dreadnought’s head. “Let’s get him!” was the cry.

“Kill that alien!”

“Burn him alive!”

More cries ensued, and the Shipmaster decided that he would intervene before a riot ensued.

“SILENCE!” he bellowed. “Dreadnought, you have been sentenced to death by your peers. Do you have any last words?”

Dreadnought began to speak, “When I was on Earth, do you know how much I did? I was involved in the Battle of…”

A shot rang out. A marine was standing in a gap in people holding a smoking shotgun. “We all served. Don’t insult the rest of us with your alien lies.”

The rest of the crew concurred, and some mumbling and nodding ensued. They seemed disappointed however, when after 10 minutes Dreadnought’s body had remained as it was.

“No cloaking?” a marine asked.

“Guess not,” Johnson said, making his way to the front. “We’ll check in the morning people. Now get the hell outta here. We’re all gonna need some sleep tonight.”

Dreadnought was lynched!

Oh, dear. Now Earthling has to explain. Easily explainable as paranoid cop or insane cop, but that is yet to be confirmed.

I voted for Dreadnought before it was cool

I didn't vote for him.

This is a sizable maybe, but perhaps only cover roles are revealed. For Flood, this would probably be the host. Of course they're also marred beyond almost all recognition in the case of the later and obviously not a human marine in the case of the former, hence the "sizable."

Duh, I guess this is where my ignorance of Halo kicks in.

"We'll check in the morning"

Might be delayed reveal.

Good point. It very well could be.

mmm I meant to vote for spaceman post #232 but I recognise I didn't do "vote: spaceman". I simply bolded.

Announcing he wasn't a vanilla townie.

If anything we should be discussing a much needed check back over the rules and if any townies know more about some particulars from their role. Considering the ruleset doesn't rule out a lot of a paranoia setup and I'm not sure how equipped the town is to deal with it at all, it seems we might need to be really careful. Dead players having and being able to use abilities? (presumably that would be about zero townies) And I'd agree Halo lore seems to suggest that alien infestation/mind control is the likely background for the third parties so don't know how much they get in game mechanics, wish the rules had eliminated some of thee possibilities. Of course that means that anyone who replaces back into the game, the original role was plain townie, but we can't expect that and that shouldn't really happen.

Also, going to task for tonight: any townie who intends to use a positive ability or protection for me please come talk to me or reconsider your orders, otherwise we could be outright wasting abilities. Obviously if your ability is to like roleblock etc... me that means you're a townie who doesn't trust me and that's fine, it's your call. Please just don't avoid coordinating and still use the ability - come talk to me or send the orders to use your beneficial ability to try to help other townies instead.

Well, let's wait for the morning update. If there's no change in the result, Earthling, you'll have some explaining to do.

GM's Note: If any of you create a QT that is not GM created, please send me the link.

Night extended 24 hours.

I have told you this half a dozen times.

Google is a free search engine which you can use to find all sorts of information. Unless you're Asian.

Duh, I have better things to do. I'm working on a project, you know?

Halo Nation (The Halo Wiki)

Great place for all things Halo.

The Asian Tigers, Japan, tiny Mid East nations, and Turkey are the exception rather than the rule. How many people outside of them actually have Internet access, or even computers? China aside, that is, but they're an exception to the exception.
