Seems like there will be a race to post the kill order every morning.
Remember they can only use their fire gun one time the whole game.
Ah! Clearer.
The Marine Guard has been hired to work at Corrections Station 22 for the next 5 Terran years. You are unarmed however you do possess a single-use (once per game) pocket incinerator gun which can be used to kill any player even if in cryo lockdown. Only one marine guard can do this per day.
Alien Organism
The Alien Organism has to ability to kill or implant an alien egg in human beings turning them into hosts. The alien player only has two eggs. However, the process is time consuming and can only be performed during the course correction when the humans are incapacitated in their cryo pods. The alien organism can not attack players in a locked down cryo pod.
NEW RULE: The alien organism can choose to send a tweet at the beginning of each day. The tweet will be delivered by the main computer (moderator). The tweet will not identify who the alien organism is.
I like this. The hacker should be able to do it too.
Any limit on the number of characters?
That's no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because others are stupid, and that makes me sad.

Taunting tweets would be awesome enough for me.

I vote to start now.

It will start after the conclusion of the Star Wars game plus a few days so people can ask questions about the rulez. This rulezset is a bit constrictive (by design).

Would people like to get the roles early or wait til closer to the start of the game?
Roles now so I know what to study.

Ok, roles will go out in a little while but I still want people to ask question about the rulez. If you feel you asking a question about the rulez will get you unwanted attention, please PM me the question. I will post it in a FAQS post (minus your identity).
I still have the rulez as proposed for now in case someone notices something particularly jarring about them and I do want feedback. Thank you.

I made the mistake of trying to update my e-mail on my main account, so OO locked me out. I've created this account and PMed FishPants, so hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. If you like, Scoop, please send me the role PM to this account as well...
Although since even the OO spambot filter keeps assuming I'm a robot when I try to PM my old account details to FishPants, I suppose it's a foregone conclusion that I actually rolled Symbiont.

Host Humans
Host humans will be unaware they carry an egg inside them.
Alien Organism
- Alien Organism (convert humans during course correction)
- Converted Human/Alien (learns name of Alien Organism when converted, can not convert)
I'm confused. Is a "Host human" the same thing as a "Converted Human/Alien"?
If so: if they learn the Alien's name when converted, how can they be unaware they carry an egg? Why else would they be given the name?

Pretty sure scoop said the conversion is gone

Punisher had the right idea. Kill Scoop. Only you can avoid being sent on a one-way mission into intergalactic hell and terror. Who's with me?

If the Symbiont starts the nightCourse Correction by locking a pod, and the Alien designated the person in that pod as an infection target, does the Alien's attempt fail? Or is the Alien able to unlock, infect, and relock?

My first instinct is that the attempt is blocked, is a miss but he doesn't lose the egg. Still pretty devastating since there only six nights.
However I'm open to other thoughts on this in the interest of balance.
