Sorry guys, going to be busy today (driving for 5 hrs) so am posting this in brief.


**********************************************************************************************************

The passengers were all in awe tonight.  Dumbstruck so to speak.  Another townie lynched, and all of a sudden they find out that this group out to get them amongst themselves kills at day too?  Well, at least the Serial Killer was dead, and they could be thankful for one less threat a night.  This 'had' to be a good thing...

Meanwhile, Ben was off on his nightly duties.  Someone had to get to the bottom of this and he knew he was bound to find something soon.  His instinctual investigative skills as a Cop had given him the advantage to find out what's going on.  He was busy searching TU's body when a mob came up behind him and slit his throat. 

"1 Down!! Ohhh the set up by our hitman was brilliant! It can only be a matter of time now, and soon we shall have full control."  The mob chuckled and walked off, wiping off the blood on his blade.

******************************************************************************************************

It is now ** DAY ** phase. Everyone has until 14.00 GMT on Friday to cast their vote on the daily lynching.

Deci was walking around the wreckage in a pompous fashion. How everyone voted a noob First Aider as their captain even escaped himself.  How could people be so daft - he thought to himself.  He rummaged through some parts, trying to find anything that may aid him to help heal people.  He wasn't a full fledged doctor - he wasn't competent enough, but he was damn well going to try to be ready for when it was needed.

"Evening, Sir!" said someone walking up behind him.

"errr, Hi." Deci said, picking up a sharp metal object.

"Can I call you Sir, Sir?

"Well, I AM your Captain now - it'd only be appropriate.  Or you can just call me Pompous Ass, since I like derogatory titles."

"Umm, it's okay, I'll stick with Sir.  It shows respect, hmm, consider this sign of respect as your last dying wish."

"I don't understand." Deci said as he was totally oblivious of what was about to happen.

"Do you really have no idea?  We were out to kill you last night, and a fellow partner of mine failed miserably - I'm here to finish the job."

"But wait...can I at least...." At that moment Deci took a huge swipe with the metal object he picked up.  He missed and with his huge arced swing he tripped on a broken piece of wreckage.  It was almost slow motion as Deci dropped the sharp oject in front of him, only to have it stick upright. Neatly Deci fell onto the sharp metal piece and it impaled him right through the stomach with a neat squishy sound.

"Sigh - that was all too easy.  Two impalings in a row, how interesting." The mob turned around and walked back.


....


Meanwhile elsewhere glue was walking around angrily.  He was an angry person in general and harboured much hate.  He was furious at the lynching of Jets and thought it to be completely needless.  There were mob at play here and he had to do something about it!

He vowed from here on in, that if ever he was wrongly accused of being mob and up for lynching he'd definitely try and take at least one person with him!  Being the Vengeful Townie, glue knew he had the ability to put up a fight and take someone out.

*Thump*

Glue collaposed to the floor and blood started seeping out from the back of his head.  "How dare you be moping around looking more angry than me!!! I'm the one on a mission here, and I!!! will be the one to take people out!!".

The SK looked at Glue's lifeless body on the ground.  "Hmm, this piece of wood would actually make a great baseball bat.  Maybe I should try getting a game going."

The SK started walking back to the beach to get some shuteye. Being so angry was hard work, but he was determined to kill everyone here and finally attain some rest.  Everything was going according to plan so far.

"It's alright guys, we'll be able to salvage what we need.  Whoever designed this piece of crap deserves to be shot!  We'll continue as planned - head on out and do what you need to.  We'll keep the meetings to a minimum - code word for a meeting at night is... " as the mob wrote down a word on a piece of paper and handed it out.

The other mobs nodded in unision and one of them heads out towards the beach.

....

It was a nice cool pleasant night.  Perfectly cloudless and the 3 moons were lighting up the place.

"Be tough to sleep with all this light."  Deci turned to two other passengers. "But man, with all this crap nothing-to-do-ness I'm so tired! I do need my beauty sleep afterall and I need my dreams of niceties, pink flowers and sweet smelling fragrances!".

"Ya, well - I'm gonna sleep like a baby tonight.  Did my best to try and save any crew members and healing up all these other injuries have earned the doc a good nights rest!  How about you, you_fool?"

"Well, first of all, I think Deci is a jerk and all this waiting around for nothing has got me anxious.  I'm going for a walk...I'll catch you guys in a bit."

...

Meanwhile, there are some shifty eyes peering through the bushes, overlooking onto the beach.

"Oh man ...boss is gonna be furious.  I can't do my hit on Deci, because there's 3 of them just lying there!  *Sigh* This is just one failure after another"  The mob starts walking back to the crashsite - there'll be no kill tonight.

...

You_fool quietly moves away from his two friends and starts walking down the beach, far from the rest of the people.

"Hmm, this is a real bitch."  You_fool bends over, picks up some pink and yellow pebble looking object and skims it across the sea.  As soon as the object touches the water, it fizzles and smokes and sinks to the bottom.

With a confused look on his face, you_fool turns to pick up another when all of a sudden he hears a rustle in the bushes out behind him.

"Who's there?!?"

"Oh, it's just me. I've started my crusade against humanity and paying people back for this absurdity!

"What do you mean?" said You_fool nervously, eyeing up the way he came from to see if he was within shouting distance.

"Oh you know "smoothest and most turbulent free travel in history"??  What idiot says such a thing - it's like Jynxing it!  Ah well, life fails, the ship fails, this planet fails...and you know what else fails..."

"err...I fail? yikes"

"Indeed."

The Serial Killer took one swing at his face and floored you_fool.  You_fool had never been hit so hard in his life.  He tried to shout, he tried to get up - but alas it was true, he WAS fail.

The SK bent over and picked up three pinkish looking rock things and placed them on you_fool's bleeding face.  He walked over to the water, cupped his hands and picked up some water.  As he was about to soak you_fool, he could see his eyes were screaming.  "Hahaha, what an appropriate name!" He threw the water over you_fools face and admired the strange rock-like-explosive react with the sea-water.

You_fool screamed in agony only to have it fade out - an innocent townie was no more.


....


Meanwhile, Deci and the doc woke up to what they thought sounded like a shreak of pain, it seemed rest was far beyond them.

blame Torqez? tongue

I've been here every hour!

I'm waiting for you...

Okay, now we know this was much awaited, so here it is!!  The changes for Capricorn Round 8!

We now feel that there's no reason to keep things the same round in and round out - so we're going to be mixing it up a little now and then!  Just to keep the variety in play!  Anything that is not working well or has massively negative feedback, can be reversed - so worth a shot, right? smile


Family Set Up
----------------

Family Size = 9 Players
Draft Spots = 2 (VIP or  Friend Draft)

(Approx 45 Fams in the gal with this number)


Alliance Set Up
-----------------

Tri alliance is back!! 
- All 3 fams must be allied to each other
- No chain alliances allowed.


New IA Rule
--------------

This round we will be trialling a new rule:
'Fams can only change allies in the first 2 weeks of the round starting!'

We feel that this is an interesting change that will help allies to work together better.  Choose wisely in the first 2 weeks, and be prepared to help each other out through thick and thin!!
Alliances that are made after the 2 weeks of round start, will be in breach of the IA rules and leaders will be blocked as a result.



Disclaimer
------------

Keep in mind that we are trying to mix things up a bit.  We will be trialling this set 9/2 (9 members, 2 drafts) set up for 1 round.  If it does not work well, we will change for the round after again (Means a new reshuffle).  If it works and players want to try another round of it, we can easily do it again.


Feel free to discuss here! smile

Game account not so important.  We can live off if you send it via e-mail.

However, IRC activity is a must.

See, helps already smile ...Pyf I know well, Tyreal somewhat too.  Can easily ask them how you are as a player.  But thats the general idea, and onc epeople start getting to know you a bit more and more, you're more likely to be drafted and contribute smile

Wanting to play actively and be in a top fam is at least the first step in getting to be a better player and contributing towards that smile

Don't worry about RickyBobby over here - if he doesn't flame you or say something insulting directed at you, then there's something wrong with you.

Edit:  Posting your activity per day per week, whatever. ...or who you've played with, or what kind of style you play, eg help with retakes, do yamas, do whatever.  Even your time zone are all factors that may help you get drafted when people are looking for a good reliable banker smile
