In all seriousness though, the decision is the scum's to make, not yours or Vector's or mine. You can't say that Vector is "making bad scum" until the game is over and we see everything that's going on. :I

Still, Org, the scum reading that might be put on edge, with their decision being referred to as "bad."

I dunno, I just feel that (professionally *straightens tie*) it's better for those outside the game to keep value-judgments restricted to quicktopics.

Well, I haven't been keeping up with this too closely since whenever I last posted before today (less even than I've been tracking games I'm actually playing in) so... yeah. I wouldn't actually know the context in which what's being said is happening.

The decision is made in seconds - everyone is already convinced they know. Org, his face dark with apprehension and rage, draws his sidearm. Errol, growling, backs up. "You don't want to try that," he informs Org. "Things will go poorly if you try that."

Org snarls in return. "What're you gonna do, huh?" Errol grins.

"I hoped you'd ask," he replies, reaching into his coat and producing a hand grenade. He pulls the pin. "This one's got a three second fuse. Not long enough to run away. Its blast is powerful enough to tear a hole in the ship. You'll all be killed. So how about you willingly get into the airlock and leave the ship to its rightful owners?"

Then Rolan jumps him from behind.

Things go wild for a long moment. Rolan slams a hand on the grenade's spoon, so when Errol tries to let it go, it does nothing but leave the grenade less securely in his grip. Leafsnail joins the brawl, trying to punch Errol into submission, but Errol is just too tough - damn, those are some stiff abs - Org stands on the sidelines, handgun shaking, trying to get a clean shot that he knows he'll never get.

And then something definitively exciting happens. Leafsnail pulls away, turning to the airlock. "PAN-D4R! Open the airlock!" he roars, grabbing onto a conveniently placed handle - probably specifically for this sort of thing. Errol and Rolan react differently; Errol releases the grenade and slips under Rolan, while Rolan releases the grenade and jumps for the handle against the wall. This leaves the grenade very, very live and very deadly.

Then the airlock opens. Errol reaches out, hoping to grab something, but his hands fail to find anything worth holding. He gives one last cry as the passing air drags him into the vacuum.

Then the room seals again and repressurizes. Nobody can hear anything; their ears have popped and all there is is static. Org's message is clear, though: "Good work. Let's go home."


Errol, Godfather, has been ridiculously-quickhammerlynched. Seriously, if I knew you people were on I would not have enabled hammers.

Epilogue:

"Vector, Vector, Vector," the Commander of the Native Liberation Army's Espionage Branch says. Vector gulps. This isn't going to be pleasant. "You understand my frustration. We can't let you go, but we can't really assign you to the same sort of thing any time soon."

"You're demoting me," Vector sighs. "Probably going to put me out in the field in the hopes of getting me eliminated."

"Not getting you killed, nor are we sending you out in the field. But you are on serious probation, Vector. This was a momentous failure. We got the spies on the ship, we got the ship confused for so long - and then it all fell apart. You - ugh." The Commander rubs his eyes. "This was perfect and you screwed it up."

"I know what happened," Vector replies dully. "Are we done here?"

The Commander shrugs. "Are we?" Vector responds with a salute and an exit.

In the end, Vector can't really be bitter about it. But he can try again.

See! I knew we could come back from a terrible day 1!

This is my post the moment I died, btw:

Haven't looked at the scum chat yet, but my guesses are:

Errol, then Therion or Agigakak.

Glad to see I was finally pointed in the right direction - just sad it was too little too late since I was already dead.

Don't be asses, folks.

I love the part where everyone's blaming this on the scum IC :I  Seriously, folks.  You think the right answer is "Errol+Webadict+Rolan7 lylo," rather than "Errol+Leafsnail+Rolan7 lylo?"  I can tell you that from my perspective, it is most certainly not.


Oh, well.  Good job, town.  There's a reason why I'm stepping back from ICing  ;)  Got to brush up my own scumgame, it seems.
