Hinckley Posted August 24, 2012 Welcome to The Forest Nights! (inspired by games host def) Players only please! The sun has set and Baxter Bulldog, Cameron Cockodile and Casey Cat have completed restoring Winter Haven's village square fountain. Everyone's happy to see the fountain working again. It's a nice, soothing presence on a day that brings such tension and danger to their happy and adorable existence. "I didn't think we'd get it done today," Cameron Cockodile says. "The painting was behind since you seemed to be slacking off today, Casey." "I wasn't slacking off," Casey explains. "I was afraid, for a while, it would be my last night on Earth, so Maurice and I had some carnal escapades out in the forest. Meeooooow!" "Maurice!" Baxter Bulldog exclaims. "Your back is all scratched up! Are you OK?" "Did she take any big chunks?" Maurice asks. "I'm afraid she might've carved some off for dinner. She loves me but her instinct is to eat me." They are interrupted by a shrill scream. Everyone freezes, fearing the worst... ...but it's only Ernie Elephant shrieking as a drop of water from the fountain lands on his nose. "Oh help!" He shrieks. "Get it off of me! I'm terrified of water! It's on my tunk!" "Tunk?" Ralphy Rabbit asks. "Which part of you is a tunk, girlfriend?" They are interrupted by a shrill scream... ... but it's only Gilda Goat screaming in surprise as Cameron Cockodile gives her rump a playful bite and accidentally tastes a full taste. The night is interrupted once again by a bellowing moan, followed by a high-pitched squeal... ...but it's just ... ... this. The Winter Haven village square is empty and the marble statue reflects the light of the moon. A glow emanates from within the water in the fountain and the statue comes to life. "We'll start with an easy one," the statue says. "Betray wife fore hex. _ _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ _ | _ _ _!" Puzzle Rules PM the answer to Hinckley & Foog using your role PM. The answer must be received within twelve hours of this post to be valid. Those who answer correctly (on the first try only) will proceed to a second round puzzle. All those who answer correctly will move on with no benefit to anyone who guesses first. Day One has begun. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. Objective: The Cultists win when they have outnumbered the Villagers, including any third-parties and the Villagers win when all of the Cultists are dead. The Rules: Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Villagers or the Cultists. To win the game, the Villagers must kill off all of the Cultists, while the Cultists must outnumber the Villagers. Any third party player will have win conditions that are detailed in their role PM... Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format; Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format; Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. You may also proxy your vote to another player, using this format; proxy: Character (Player). Naturally, unproxying a vote is also possible. The player with the most votes is lynched. In the case of a tie, there will be no lynch. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will not end when a majority vote has been reached. If there is time left, a majority vote can be over-turned. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of the night stage, or they will not be accepted, no exceptions. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day, barring any interference. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host. This includes all the details and pictures of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. You may not quote PMs from other players. Paraphrasing is allowed but no direct quoting. Please refrain from quoting PMs in the game threads and in private. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. Violation of this rule will result in a multiple game suspension. If you are converted, you must accept your new affiliation. If it's proven that you gave up your new team after conversion, the whole game will be null and you will most likely not to be asked to play one of my games again. You may not edit your posts. You must post in every day thread. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host or co-host via PM. Please please please use only the confirmation PM I sent you to communicate with me. All new conversations regarding the game will be deleted. Violation of the above rules will result in a penalty of one vote per every four living players (1/4 of the active players list) on the first violation and death of your character on the second. Some additional guidelines, although they are not rules that will incur penalties if you don't follow them: Metagaming is allowed. Go ahead. You all know how to identify it and how to ignore completely irrelevant information. The pictures may or may not contain clues. They most likely do not, but look all you want. Wildly speculate. It's fun. Using acronyms, especially tl;dr will cause major trouble for your character, perhaps even instant death. Roleplaying is a good thing and it is encouraged in this game and will be required at some point. So get to know your personality quirks, they've been created for a reason. You have all been sent a role PM in this format: Format: Welcome to The Forest II, a game of wit and strategy. You are playing ___, Springhaven’s ___. (a little back story) (a personality quirk) Alignment: You are aligned with the Villagers/Cultists. Role: You are the ___ which gives you the Nocturnal Ability of ___. Each night you target one player and ___. Or You have no specific Nocturnal Ability. Your power is in your vote and your brain, so use both wisely. Win condition: You win when you have outnumbered the Villagers, including any third-parties Or You win when all of the Cultists are dead. Best of luck and have fun!

Dragonator Posted August 24, 2012 Becka don't stop my love, I want that hot wax all over me! Smooth up and down motion is the key! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scubacarrot Posted August 24, 2012 Pfff that puny puzzle is no match for an awesome Gorilla like me. Cool statue. Would be cooler if it was a statue of ME. But yeah, what can you do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandora Posted August 24, 2012 Nice work on the statue, guys. Well if we must stay up all night as well as all day, we can at least be drunk. The bar's open and the beer is flowing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CorneliusMurdock Posted August 24, 2012 A talking statue?! This is just like in Harriet Slutter and the Half-Dead Stump! Hopefully it won't whack one of us on the head like the one in the book did to poor Rufus Weasley. It did serve the romance plot with Pandora Granger when they made out in the infirmary afterwards, so I guess it didn't turn out so bad for him. Oh, Edgar, it's getting chilly. Just cuddle with me a while, won't you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badboytje88 Posted August 24, 2012 I'd love to cuddle! Doesn't matter with whom! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waterbrick Down Posted August 24, 2012 I'm actually amazed myself that we were able to fix a stone statue with a hammer, wrench, and a paint brush. Wait since everyone is up tonigth, that means I can keep the garage open without worrying about keeping anyone up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scouty Posted August 24, 2012 I don't think I did a bad job of painting the statue. It looks quite nice, doesn't it? Uhm, am I bleeding? Can someone check under my shirt? Of course you're not my love. That's just sweat from....yeah Such a big tail for a small mouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It did serve the romance plot with Pandora Granger when they made out in the infirmary afterwards, so I guess it didn't turn out so bad for him. Ah yes, a fantastic piece of literary work. Those scenes were surprisingly explicit, though, but then what else would you expect from Harriet Slutter? Oh, Edgar, it's getting chilly. Just cuddle with me a while, won't you? Sweet Portia, I have something to warm you up inside. Why not try a nice, long, stiff... drink, from my bar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quarryman Posted August 24, 2012 Well if we must stay up all night as well as all day, we can at least be drunk. The bar's open and the beer is flowing! That, my dearest brother, sounds like an excellent plan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted August 24, 2012 A talking statue, and I'm not the only one seeing it? My oh my. And what's this about free drinks? Well, I don't mind if I do. I've plenty of shrooms to share also, if anyone's hungry. They're good for you! Or so the statue said. I may have hallucinated that part... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what's this about free drinks? Who said they were free? Or do you hand out your... whatever it is you're hammering on all day... for free as well? I'm all up for trading though... anyone up for some hot waxing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
