REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT

Due to the size of both teams, and a lack of foresight on my part, a team wins once they have depleted their opponents team down by seven.

Carry on.

Who are the villagers, who are the wolves? You labelled the team with villagers "evil" and the team with wolves "good"

I'm confused on which one I'm supposed to pretend to be!

Pretend to be the Empire, of course.

As to my stupidity, yep, there are quite some wolves in this game. But there are more Stormtroopers than Rebels, so... yeah.

Anymore questions before the train wreck begins?

They're pretty much your standard weapon. Allows you to lynch. You can break own your blaster into one scrap, but your lynch won't count for the day.

You can pass scraps to other players, so if you find the Engineer or Solo, jackpot.

They can only make one item per night, though, so don't worry about it.

Yep. You're issued a new blaster the next day.

EDIT: Changed it to two scraps after realizing how broken that would be.

EDITEDIT: Changed it to one after realizing two is still pretty broken.

Alright. I'm going to be roleplaying a Dark Trooper, and no, this has nothing to do with my role. Link to the wiki is below. If anyone asks, it's Phase 0, the only one that is actually still a Stormtrooper.

Let us begin.

(Narration in Spoiler tags)

Spoiler


Dayshift 1 Start.

SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the nature of this game, I have some new options for you. Be sure to read over my previous posts as well.

PM:
PM Inventory to get a readout on your current items.

PM Break (weapon) to break down your current weapon into scrap. You'll receive the amount of scrap proportional to the item. (Used weapons give out 1 scrap each)

PM Look up (thing) to get a description on a weapon, item, person or so forth. No, this is not a scry option. It functions more like a help option.

Remember, you can post or PM me any time if you don't understand any part of the game. Good luck.

I think you can only do one per day phase.

It's just a help function. It won't tell you anything you can't read from here. Though I suppose some back story bits for the non-rp crowd wouldn't hurt.

And as for the first question, you can break one item per day, but you can look up things and check your inventory all you want.

Seriously, though, would it break the budget to put some usable sights on these things?” Stormtrooper 8 waved his blaster in the air dramatically. “It’s bad enough we have to wear these helmets with the built-in shades, but then they make it so we can’t even see down the scope? How do they expect us to hit anything?
"Well, I can’t do anything about it," Stormtrooper 22 responded.
I know that. I told Vader about it, and you know what he said?” He puffed himself up in his best impression of Lord Vader. “ ‘Crosshairs are INSIGNIFICANT next to the POWER of the Force, whoooo, waaaah.’ I swear, if it were up to that guy, we wouldn't even have turrets.
Hey, don’t knock on Vader, he’s a badass. You know he choked out Motti during a conference the other day?"
Seriously?
Yeah, Motti started trashtalking the Force, and Vader choked him out with it, it was awesome!"
You mean he actually used the Force for something? Man, I can’t believe I missed that!
The discussion was interrupted by a sudden burst of blaster fire. Stormtroopers 8 and 22 dove for cover, returning fire at their unseen adversary. When the firestorm eased, Stormtrooper 8 risked a glance at his opponent.
Lex-kat, what the hell!” He shouted as Stormtrooper 3 disappeared around a corner.
"That was Lex-kat?"
Yeah, what was that all about?”
The two Stormtroopers dusted themselves off, checking their suits for damage. They walked in silence for a while, anticipating another senseless attack.
Finally, Stormtrooper 22 broke the silence. “I guess it’s a good thing she couldn’t aim, huh?" Stormtrooper 8’s expression was mercifully hidden by his helmet.
Wow, that's a lot of color. I wasn't expecting that.

Rade Harlow had always been dedicated to the Empire, all his short eighteen years. His parents had distilled a love for the Storm Troopers in him; years before, when the Corps had been elusively clones, during the Clone Wars, their lives had been saved in Imperial City during the Seps invasion.
So they had supported him without question when, at the age of seventeen, he enlisted.

And he had remained faithful throughout, especially as he had gained prestige. Enough now to be here.
But Rade knew well enough that some of his fellow Troopers did not uphold the honor to which they were defending.
They sickened him.
