A cold wind blew across the tundra as the motorcade came to a halt in front of an ominous looking building, standing alone and imposing, a solitary figure in the Siberian wilderness. 12 of the Soviet Union's finest scientists, physicists, and engineers exited the aerosans, and shivered as they approached the building, accompanied by a regiment of armed guards. General Brodsky entered the password into the small keypad on the wall, and the door to the large building slowly slid open. As the slightly nervous group of scientists entered the building, orange floodlights lit a path down a long hallway. At the end of the hall way was a heavy metal door, a strange purple light flickering from underneath it. As the heavy door slid back, the group of scientifically inclined individuals got their first look at the single most scientifically important facility in the world. Inside the room, glowing purple tesla coils crackled with energy, generators emitted a low hum, and surrounded by a myriad of scientific equipment were several large tubes, each containing an apparently dormant human being, floating in saltwater."Zdravstvuite komrads. Welcome to R-12U / SS-4 Dvina Complex Quantum Research Center" said General Brodsky in an authoritative tone. “It is imperative that everything that takes place here never leaves.” The door closes behind him, and a laser grid flickers to life in front of it. “There is now no way to leave this room without my confirmation code. And now, to ensure that these experiments stay secret…” The General took out a small controller from his breast pocket. He pressed one of the buttons and all of the guards convulsed and fell over. “Regardless, we have received information that enemies of the state have already infiltrated this experiment. It has been decided that as a part of this experiment, you will be left to decide one of your group to eliminate each day. They will be used to power the machines, you can see some old subjects in the tubes right now. We are not entirely sure of what the experience is like, but I am told it is extremely painful.”

Scared, you look at one another. “For now, sleep, each of you has been given a Time Dilation Device; I recommend extreme care when using it. The Time Dilation Devices are used to expand Temporal Singularity Vortexes, allowing alterations of the timeline. Tomorrow your duty to the Motherland begins.

All players konfirmed. Night begins.

[Grandfather Time]

Wake up Komrade! Wake up! The experiment is beginning, it appears that all of your are still alive, this is good. Now go, for the Motherland. It will take 7 votes to put someone into the pods.

Also, the day will end on November 9th, assuming normal proceedings.

If it weren't for the fact that one person here habitually votes the mod and another one votes himself, I'd expect a ton more of these to come my way (pseudorandomly, of course...) Perhaps I still should

Gonna claim early, since I believe it benefits town.

I am a nuclear scientist (town aligned). If anyone targets me with any ability, I and them will die (suicide bomber). During the day, I can pick a target to suicide against and kill them in the process.

Reasons I am claiming:

1) So a cop/doc/vig etc doesn't target me at night and kill us both
2) So Scum don't NK me, unless they believe I am bluffing
3) So I can direct my suicide towards a suitable, town agreed target

I know some people will be a bit sceptical (since this would be a good scum gambit to avoid investigation and suspicion), but I intend to use my abilty by the end of the game, so I doubt it will be too much of a problem.

Any questions/suggestions?

[Cruciare]

You need to be lynched for many many reasons.

You need to be lynched for many many reasons.

Vote: Scattered

You feel lucky, I take it

I see no reason to deny Scattered's claim due to its timing, minus the physical implications of blowing yourself up in a small laboratory room and only expecting one other person to be killed.

I would be remiss if I didn't link to this right now.

You need to be lynched for many many reasons.

Mind stating them, instead of trying to look smart?

[Natirasha]

I...um...think that all our roles only activate upon death. Ergo, his role makes no sense.

All night actions

will not take effect on the night in which they are used until the player posts, in the thread, Activate Time Dilation Device. This will kill you and can only be used while a TS Vortex has opened.

Bolded for emphasis. My suicide is a day kill, so it isn't affected. Small print ftw.

[Scattered]

Oh sorry, forgot to clarify something. My self destruct (when someone targets me) is activated when they first

target

me, not when they use their time dilation device. I should have made that clearer, since the word target is a big vague in that sense.

[Natirasha]

Two problems
1. If that role is actually in this game, it should probably activate when you activate the Time Dilation and kill everyone who has targeted or something.
2. Your ability is not indicative to one alignment, I could easily see that as a scum ability.
