trial #3
![]() 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 |

Okay, everyone! You all heard Judy, right? She'll tell us the names of people who voted, but she'll only reveal who voted for a single choice.
So... since someone isn't telling the truth about abstaining, do we want to ask her about that?

[Dojima plays with his lighter, this is going to be fun]
If we ask for who voted Abstain, we'll get three names and know who is a liar. That's pretty much a safe bet. There's another option, too.
But there's something else we can do: ask who voted for Lara. Not only we'd get eight names to deal with, and a reference for future trials if more people die. It's not guaranteed we'd get one of the four who supposedly abstained in that list, but if it's a staff member it's possible their name would appear there too. It's a risk I'd be personally be willing to take.
Besides, in the future we could have the option to ask who voted abstain in the second trial, wouldn't we? Someone should check with Judy.
[Which he will, in a moment]
We should consider what we'll do in future trials too.

I'd rather have a known liar than risk getting the name of someone who was just misled by Franzy last time, you know? Choosing from eight people still poses a risk.
no subject
If I get a vote, I mean.
no subject
That's certainly something to remember, too. I agree with finding out who abstained, then.
I guess 100% chance is better than less than 100%, since there may not be a chance to find out votes in the future.
[So yeah, find out who abstained, please!]
no subject
That said, I think abstain is best to immediately root out the liar.

[It makes sense, and it's all they have to go off right now.]
It'll allow us to question the one who is lying about their vote, if nothing else.

I got nothing to hide with what I voted, so. Yeah. It's something to go off of.
no subject
Good, I knew you'd agree.
[She trusted him! Good to know that trust wasn't unfounded.]
no subject
[ Jack didn't expect this to actually work, so he snickers and then nods. ]
Then, yeah, let's see about the abstains, sure.

[Dripping with sarcasm (and snot), but as mad as he is about the bloody pool party, Alice has a lead.
Damn brat.]
no subject
[But yay, he's going along with it!]
no subject
[Sniff! HE REFUSES TO GIVE ALICE CREDIT FOR ANY CUNNING MOVES.]
Woulda been great if it was just Alfendi who went for a nice swim.
[IN BLOOD!!!!!]
no subject
[HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED BUT...STILL]
Someone sounds bitter. I'd like to think it's karma, old man.
no subject
[Because he's like, ninety percent sure Alfendi would've lost, okay.
Alice hits harder than she looks for her size!]
Besides, don't act like you were in on it. Unless you're done pretending you didn't know what that was all about.
no subject
[like the alamo..........rude alfendi remembers.............]
Pretending? Look, old man, I don't know what the hell I was doing. If this nonsense about another personality thing is true, why don't you ask him, huh?
no subject
[PROVING ALFENDI'S POINT BUT OKAY. Just throw the whole Alamo at him it's fine.
Sniff. Dickson rubs at his nose.]
What, you guys don't share your grudges? Go on then, bring him out. We're all dyin' to know what's eatin' him.
[ha ha ha, dying. Tasteful joke, that.]

Either who abstained or whoever voted for Lara. Unless they're every man or woman for themselves, I can't see any of the staff voting for Luke. But someone's lying about their vote, so we can catch them if we pick abstain.
[they don't really have any other leads, honestly]
