TRIAL 02

[thecomputer]

Attention, Citizens! You have ten minutes to proceed to the Loyalty Chamber. Anyone who is late to the Loyalty Chamber, or who brings any weapons into the Loyalty Chamber, will be immediately executed.

[Once you arrive, you will find a large chamber, with twenty podiums spaced around the room in a circle. On the ceiling, a massive screen showing the digital eye of The Computer, turning to look at whoever is talking.]

You have one hour to come to a consensus about who to eliminate. Ties will be broken randomly.

[The floor of the chamber begins to split apart, eventually only leaving the twenty podiums as safe places to stand, above a seemingly bottomless abyss. Each podium lights up with a touch screen showing twenty user IDs (the dead are grayed out), plus the word “ABSTAIN”. However, ABSTAIN has now been grayed out as well. The trial begins now!]

I think the Scanner chose Mr. Puppington during the first night. The result was positive, so they chose to target him the following night. The Loyalty Officer, the Defense Officer and the Troubleshooter are the biggest threats to the Communists, so obviously they want to get rid of the people with special roles as quickly as possible.

That seems rather plausible. And since they didn't know what their role was, they decided to just simply kill him off. But it doesn't seem to have gone as planned.
