trial #3

[judgejudy]

DAY 6 (afternoon) Complex Population: 27 At noon, the same tone from the morning rings out, and Judy's voice filters out over the intercom. "Good afternoon, residents. As per Safety Protocol 6227-A, it is time to conduct a trial to bring justice for the victim. Please proceed to the courtroom on the first level." Just as at night, if you don't go to the courtroom, you'll be treated to an electric shock of increasing strength until you go to the courtroom or are unconscious. Though considering the ominous penalty for not participating in a trial, you should likely just go rather than risk not voting because you've been knocked out by your own stubbornness... Once you're in the courtroom, you'll find that bottled water and light snacks are provided, but otherwise you'll have to bring anything else you may need. As you come to your conclusions about who to vote for, you can step into the judgement theater to cast your vote at the terminal. You may change your vote as many times as you'd like, but at 7PM, your vote (or lack thereof) is locked in. You have until 7PM to discuss and vote for who you think the murderer is. — ic rulebook character statuses character profiles Voting will close at 9PM EST on 10/22. voting

He didn't get the opportunity to do so before being caught, you mean. And he did murder them by inaction; he was part of a group killing people, and had a more direct recourse for stopping the murders than anyone else that he refused to use.

How do you know how the staff works? They could be working individually. Luke might not have been a member who was meant to kill. You don't know unless you want to reveal your status as staff.

[liven]

I believe you are staff, actually, Adam Parrish. And if he were truly "innocent" he could have revealed what he knew to people. He did not. Not even when his life was forfeit, in order to help those he supposedly cared about.

[antietam]

Luke had a reason for working with them. I knew him, unlike you, and I know he would have had a good reason for doing all of hat.

[liven]

You knew the boy for a handful of days and spent most of it convincing yourself hormones were apparently true love. He may have believed his reasons to be good, but that does not excuse what he did and would have done. Unless you would have allowed him to kill you and everyone else here just for "good intentions", your argument is invalid.

[antietam]

And you're assuming a lot about what you don't know. You're just making yourself look stupid here.

[liven]

Rather, you're making yourself look distraught and childish while the rest of us point out Luke Castellan was a murderer. That is a fact, whatever you think of the details. But given that you are, in all liklihood, also a member of that group, your distress is duly noted.

[antietam]

I don't care what you say about me, but stop talking about Luke.

[liven]

You're asking us to pretend that the past week or so never occurred simply because you wish to rewrite history to make a killer out to be a saint. He may not have been a devil, but it's stupid to pretend he didn't kill. He did. We saw him do it. We also know he did not help any of us and was working against us.

If you don't wish to hear facts said, by all means slap your hands over your ears and sing at the top of your lungs. But don't bother people who are actually discussing the facts.
