Welcome one and all. The talk boxes are set. Please make sure you understand the rules posted in Round 0.
The ship? A Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 from the Star Wars universe. Lando Calrissian had one called Lady Luck in the Thrawn Trilogy of books.
As we play this game, know that I strive for the best rating possible. When you rate the game at the end, it asks you how fun it was. It really means, "How did the moderator do?" If you think there may be a reason you don't plan on giving a rating of "The Best!" please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
As far as the story goes, I am just writing it for entertainment, added fun, or whatever. There are not meant to be clues in the story, nor is the story meant to mislead.
Story
With all the cabins sold, the passengers began boarding the Blue Moon. Captain Rhythmic was making the final preparations in the cockpit when the communications signal beeped.
"Rhythmic! Thank God I caught you!"
"Dr. Haren? What's wrong?"
"No one believes me, but they're coming!"
"Slow down there. What exactly is the problem?"
"No one thought it would happen! They said I"M crazy!! But my scanners found them and NOW it's happening! When will those schmucks WAKE UP!"
"Found what?"
"Good grief man! A flux in the dimensional fabric of space!! Right in our own atmosphere!! I can't get a firm fix, but it looks like trans-dimensional beings have boarded YOUR ship! You can't take off! It will be DISASTER!"
"Doc, I've just left port with a boat full of people. I can't turn back - "
"Look, do you still have that Stasis Beam I gave you? At least if you use that, you can go down fighting! I need to figure out a way to sop more of them from getting over here! Or at least track them when they do. Haren out!"
"Rhythmic out."
After Rythmic cleared Earth's gravitational pull, he sat back for a moment and pondered. Dr. Haren was certainly a loose cannon; he always has been. It's no wonder that he couldn't find anyone else to believe him. But what if he was right? The stasis beam, also known as the Silver B, could only be used once a day and it was so dangerous to use. The best thing to do was to bring the passengers together and let them help decide their own fate.

Hey guys, glad the game has started. Will SPV for PYTHON for now. Will change if he gets more votes. I'm not one to like majorities the first couple rounds.

With over 15 hours left and only three normally active players to check in, it looks like we will have to stir things up a little. I will check back in the morning, and probably change my vote then. That way no one will say I am doing it with just a few minutes left like the last game.
Some of you may wonder why I like to stir things up? I can't let the status quo stay because if no one commits, then we learn nothing about motives. Decisions made in the first round have a way of mattering later in the game.

Jeminy also lives in a midele eastern country I think.
I am going to wait till a little later to see if he comes on.
EDIT:
Nope...His flag says England, my bad. England is 5 hours ahead of central US time as they do not recognize Daylight Savings Time.
With that he should have had a chance to make it on and contribute something. He is a fairly active player.

The only person who said anything slightly intriguing this round was
Python said
Why would I get more votes Snowy? Do you know something the rest of us don't? SPV for Longhorn.
It's perfectly clear what Snowy meant by her innocuous post (Ill switch my vote if it perchance is part of a majority) but Wolves dont mind casting attention to anything they think can be consrued as suspcious, no matter how minor
otherwise nothing of note this round, as usual
in fact everyone has voted Im game for a PYTHON vote

PYTHON, anyone could get more than one vote. I just don't want to be apart of a majority in the first couple rounds.
And Spider. . . . . it's not nice to call my post innocuous. . . . . and then you vote for PYTHON. 
So....................I'll keep my word and vote for someone that doesn't have a vote. . . . but who could that be. Gotta look at the voting list.
edit - ha ha - Spider has no votes, so he'll get mine this round, unless . . . the same thing happens again.
Less than an hour and a half left - will try to check on the game at least once more before the round is over.

I'm not sure what you're going for, I mean I try to be generally friendly outside of my own group (where I dont mind stepping on a few toes ) but I didn't say anything even in the realm of 'not nice'
You made a simple harmless, non-threatening, non-agressive post, Id say its an innocuous post. I voted Python becuase of his reaction to it, so I'm not really sure how you are interpreting this situation. Nothing in your post made me want to vote Python, that was solely the response from Python that brought about my vote change
