Started on the 30th November 2020, with Kevan as the Outsider:

Welcome to Outpost 38! You're a group of scientists and specialists being flown in to an Acheron Antarctic Research Group station on the McMurdo ice shelf, to take over from a team who've just reached the end of their six-month contract there. You'll be generally responsible for running the base through the winter, with the biologists among you scanning and cataloguing the core samples that have been collected from under the ice, and investigating any interesting discoveries that may arise.
Players are Researchers. Five of you are Human, and two are secretly shapeshifting alien Things that replaced a couple of the team a few days after you all arrived at the research station. The Things are coordinating telepathically with the Hive Mind buried deep below the ice sheet. During each night they are easily able to reach and kill another member of the team.

Proposals

Reverting to Type (failed)

Proposed by Kevan:

When cornered, a Thing will lash out instinctively, abandoning its disguise to do so. A Physical Proposal can only kill a Researcher if it also nominates two Researchers as Aggressors. When such a proposal is resolved and its target was a Thing: its true nature as a Thing is revealed, and an Aggressor of the Hive Mind's choice becomes Wounded. (A Wounded Researcher cannot be chosen as an Aggressor in future.)

P Scholasticus, Raven, Clucky, Josh, TyGuy were FOR, Jake AGAINST. The Outsider cast a VETO.
