The Forest II: Day Six

Recommended Posts

BAWK! It is 1 AM... somewhere in the world! BAWK! Maybe Pancho is tired, but stayed up to vote, because he cares a lot about the fate of his dear little town. BAWK! Maybe he is so tired that he is talking in the third person. BAWK! Maybe he still loves his monkey friends, even if they force him to deliver threatening notes to himself from God.

BAWK! BAWK! BACH!

Oh no, that's a lot of pink flowers... I count at least nine! We may be in more trouble than we thought! Or maybe we should just stop looking at pictures.

Horace! What have you got to say for yourself.

Bawk.

"Extra clutter can be confusing to guests sometimes too," Marcellus explains. "Like this parchment that has been sitting on these steps since some time yesterday and nobody noticed. It's been there since Bohemian Rhapsody."

Picture clues. :hmpf:

Bohemian Rhapsody. :wub:

I'm sure that's it, since they bring me the vial every morning to make their potions."

"You make the Cultists potions too?" Marcellus asks, horrified.

"Of course," Firuz answers. "I'm an equal opportunity alchemist. I told you there is no evil, just differing opinions. Sometimes a differing opinion does cause some death, but we are carnivores after all and it helps to keep a cosmic balance."

There's some hippie megablocks if I ever heard it. There most certainly is evil and it's killing us and you're helping. Baaaaaaa-stard fox! Shouldn't be surprised considering our history with them. :hmpf_bad:

"Firuz, please tell me who these Cultists are so I can save the innocent lives of the remaining Villagers," Marcellus pleads.

"Sorry," Firuz answers. "That's alchemist-client privilege."

Marcellus considers this for a moment, then decides, "No cupcakes for you."

That'll teach him! Can the rest of us have cupcakes? :sweet:

And voting time!

He's probably the serial killer and the flowers make me think he's been converted to scum as well (sure only manages to kill us townies). Anyone who has been paying attention for days knows the case against Horace and how much effort has been put into stopping his lynch. Feel free to go over it again, just don't let the scum sidetrack us this time, please, it's very clearly vital at this point, we can't afford another mistake. Stopping them from another night kill and reducing their numbers by one will give us the fighting chance we need.

Vote: Horace Horse (iamded)

Even though he's the Serial Killer and not a cultist.

Oh yeah, real smart. My old chum Cameron Cockodile comes along with hard evidence against the sheep with the baaa-d jokes, and you'd rather lynch who you think is a neutral? Town has to lynch the scum to win, you do know that right? I'm curious, say I do get turned into glue, where will you go from there?

Anyone who has been paying attention for days knows the case against Horace and how much effort has been put into stopping his lynch

I still stand firm to the belief that whoever informed Brigit was a scum. She was clearly set up to set me up. It makes sense if you think about it... Maybe you guys just need some shrooms to like, enhance your thought patterns, y'know? They're tasty!

I had been pondering and mediating for a long time and it is now or never, while Cameron raised a valid concern, but there is only one person and that is you who is supporting the claim and right now, I felt that Horace can't give himself a chance to slip right out of here. If it is truly a mistake in this conviction, then this town ought to lose... It is either now or never and weighing the heaviness of my thoughts, I will follow on and press onto Horace...

We got to make a stand and we got to make a right one. And, Mindy, although I am scared of mouse, but I think this is the last time that I could ever befriend a mousy friend even though my natural instinct and fear is to your species.

So, until further concrete evidence surface, I will stick my gun and hose, and placed my vote too...

Oh cool, I was doing that too! :sweet: Thanks for your insightful comments. :thumbup:

Still waiting for those examples of unhelpfully behaviour. Feel free to use the case I made against you as a template, if it gives you something to work on. :thumbup:

And, Mindy, although I am scared of mouse, but I think this is the last time that I could ever befriend a mousy friend even though my natural instinct and fear is to your species.

Uh... thanks Edgar? :look:Note to self: Elephant's attempt at conversation is clearly an attempt to lull me into a trap. Keep away from at all costs.

Vote: Horace Horse (iamded). If it's one less kill that can happen against us tomorrow, then I'm all for it. If the cultists still manage to outnumber us, it is one less person that will be winning surviving with the cultists. A fate very deserving for anyone decides to sign up against the town. I bet you just did it to get a bite of my flesh! :cry_sad:

BAWK!

Horace, you can reverse the lynch by giving us the names of the scum! That would be a great incentive to spare you, assuming you can win with either side!

Well as I said earlier, I feel the choice is clear for today. We've tossed around a couple of potential lynch candidates, but when it comes down to it, we need to lynch the person we are most sure of. I feel that person is Horace, so I shall Vote: Horace Horse (iamded).

Well, it's time to settle the Horace Horse issue. We should have done it yesterday, but we were steered into Lynching a townie. We owe it to Brigit and Maurice to lynch this scum, and make up for not listening to them before they died. Bark!

I Vote: Horace Horse (iamded).

Once Horace flips scum or SK, we can look at Bradley the Band-Aid. After six days, he's starting to look dirty.

Sorry to say, but this stand is not the right one. :sceptic:

So, until further concrete evidence surface

Like the evidence presented by Cameron..?

If it's one less kill that can happen against us tomorrow, then I'm all for it. If the cultists still manage to outnumber us, it is one less person that will be winning surviving with the cultists.

That logic is just... stupid. Not that I am the serial killer - I'm just the faithful townie steed - but if I were a neutral then lynching me would get you nothing. The scum have to outnumber all other parties to win - including neutral parties. The town only have to kill the scum.

BAWK!

Horace, you can reverse the lynch by giving us the names of the scum! That would be a great incentive to spare you, assuming you can win with either side!

If I had the names of the scum. BAWK! Neigh.

Well as I said earlier, I feel the choice is clear for today. We've tossed around a couple of potential lynch candidates, but when it comes down to it, we need to lynch the person we are most sure of. I feel that person is Horace, so I shall Vote: Horace Horse (iamded).

Most sure of? Because a confirmed townie was duped by the scum to set me up? Prbrbrb. Well if the scum have put enough effort into getting someone lynched, this is what they get... the townies mindlessly voting out an innocent...

Well, it's time to settle the Horace Horse issue. We should have done it yesterday, but we were steered into Lynching a townie. We owe it to Brigit and Maurice to lynch this scum, and make up for not listening to them before they died. Bark!

Lynching me won't atone for anything. And then you'll owe it to Brigit, Maurice and me to lynch the scum that set this whole thing up...

This whole Cameron/Shawna situation is certainly interesting. One of them has to be scum, but if the flowers are any indication, there's still 3 other scum sitting right among us. And who's been sitting right among this whole entire time, keeping way under the radar, not arousing the suspicion of anyone by hardly saying anything, that wasn't picked up on until recently by no-one else but I, which was ignored, thus continuing his happy cruise under the radar? Why no other than Gilda Goat. The early vote for Casey was a clever gamble, and one that bought his 'confirmed towniness' for the rest of this whole ordeal, but I'm not buying it. It's the perfect gameplay for a vanilla scum, your average goon. And what do we need to do today? Lynch a damn scum to stop them over-running us. I'm very, very confident he's one of the other 3 scum, and so today I shall Vote: Gilda Goat (Quarryman).

Harumph. This is rustling my peace of mind. At least I still have you, mushrooms... <om nomf nom>

Interlude

040.jpg

It is late afternoon and Marcellus the Monk's party is going strong but it's very awkward, considering how many of the guests want to kill each other. It's not quite as easy as it sounds to take their minds off of it for some fun.

041.jpg

"Edgar, what are you doing with these things?" Marcellus asks.

"It's my gun and my hose," Edgar explains. "I will stick them."

"Ah, of course," Marcellus responds.

"Is it time for giving up?" Edgar asks plainly.

"No," Marcellus assures him, "There are times, though, when to right all wrongs, one must do everything right, or get as close as possible to survive another day...whatever that means."

042.jpg

The spirit of Portia Poodle appears at the fountain.

"It's just like when Harriet Slutter drinks the Hinckley Helixis, or Fluid Fortune," Portia says. "And everything falls into place and she saves the day even though evil Professor Scumbridge-carrot has banished Dumbleyork from Pigblisters..."

043.jpg

The spirit of Gibson Goat appears.

"Or when you're chewing that lampost," Gibson continues. "And you can't get through at first so you think it might not be food but you just keep chewing and eventually it starts to bend..."

044.jpg

The spirit of Becka Bulldog appears.

"Or when you're addicted to pain," Becka continues. "And you've waxed all the hair off your balls already so you must file away the skin to get that rush..."

045.jpg

The spirit of Bristol Bunny appears.

...

046.jpg

The spirit of Casey Cat appears.

"Nyaaaar har har," Casey laughs. "Mwahahahahahahahaha! Oogity-boogity! Blagh blah! Psych psych psych!"

"What is this?" Marcellus asks. "Open mic night in the afterlife??"

047.jpg

Next the spirit of Heidi Hippo rushes in, all sweaty.

"I'm not a spirit!" The non-Heidi Hippo counters.

I'm not saying any of this out loud.

"Even so," continues the hippo. "I'm Hope Hippo, Heidi's twin. Is she around?"

"Um..." someone explains. "She's...making me a peanut butter sandwich."

"Well," Heidi continues. "I don't have time to stick around and chat. I'm searching for my husband, Fuckwit Ferret. He disappeared. Have you seen him?"

048.jpg

"Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh," Mindy says.

049.jpg

"Well, I must be off," Hope explains. "There's no time for giving up or doubt. I must find him."

"Careful, the forest is dangerous!" someone warns. "The path to Autumn Falls is guarded by evil spirits!"

"The forest is always dangerous," Hope explains. "The dark spirit here takes many forms, the white cat, the black crow, the fiery fox... I have a nifty reflective bwankie I found in the desert. I don't really understand how it works, but..."

"Goodbye!" someone interrupts, "Never give up Hope."

"There's still Hope," someone else adds, "Look, right there. I still see her."

"Hope springs eternal," yet another someone adds, "Wait, that one doesn't make sense for both. Um... Don't let Hope die. Um...God...please, don't let Hope die."

My friends, I have stated my case plainly. You must trust me. I am 100% certain that Shawna is scum - there is no other explanation for the night action results.

Please think very carefully. Our best hope is to lynch a scum today. We have a confirmed Cultist in our midst, and we can get rid of her today. If you not sure whether to trust me, remember that I successfully led the case against Casey, the scummy cat.

What has Shawna done? Persistently accused Pennie and Gordon, both townies, and influenced the vigilante to kill both of them. I'm sure it is Shawna who has the vig's ear, and the vig has made a pig's ear of their killing choices since.

Please think! We can save the town, if we do the right thing, and the right thing is:

Vote: Shawna Sheep (Shadows)

An unidentified figure in black and the claim of a tracker who could just as easily be the scum who made the person in black do what they did. No other explanation but yours? No appearance by said tracker or even a fake one to try to trick us? Shows how little talent you scum have left to draw on, just more hollow words designed to save Horace. Funny we can all see his guilt and you can't, having said yourself that you have no opinion on Horace. Like hell you don't. :hmpf:

Please think very carefully. Our best hope is to lynch a scum today.

We are. Finally. No more distractions, no more misdirection.

If you not sure whether to trust me, remember that I successfully led the case against Casey, the scummy cat.

The one we should have done on day one, had it not been for the two bumbling idiots making themselves look suspicious by forming a day 1 alliance based on one telling the other his role. That wasn't suspicious enough for you?

As for you leading the case, you're a liar, plain and simple. That was actually one of the idiots, Gordon, finally figuring out his mistake and doing right. He made the first case that day and placed the first vote against her. You came along after that. Leading means being in front, not grabbing onto someone else's tail and going where they go so you can later claim to have done the work yourself.

What has Shawna done? Persistently accused Pennie and Gordon, both townies

Yes, those two bumbling idiots, the ones that led us away from Casey and got how many people killed along the way? At least Gordon redeemed himself, and you want to take the credit for that. :laugh:

and the vig has made a pig's ear of their killing choices since.

You may not respect the difficulty of their decisions, but I think the rest of us at least understand them.

Please think! We can save the town, if we do the right thing, and the right thing is:

...already being done without you misleading us again.

Baaaaa-d croc-o-shit, you're not saving your scummy friend that easily, not again. :hmpf_bad:

The answer's simple, vote for Gild-oooh. Er. Well this is awkward...

Well hey, Cameron hasn't steered us wrong so far, so maybe I'll be best switching my vote to that sneaky Sheep... Wait, Cameron did steer us wrong, just yesterday. Not that voting for me would have been right, I'm still a loyal townie dangit. Whatever man, everyone's just overreacting anyway. Like, why do these cultists even want to control all of Fabuland? Why not just like, chill out with some shrooms, man. Just like... be chill man. Be chill...

Squeak.

Poncho, Booker, I really am starting to get impatient. Where are the examples of my unhelpful behaviour? One might start to think your lust for my flesh has taken you over... :cry_sad:

That logic is just... stupid. Not that I am the serial killer - I'm just the faithful townie steed - but if I were a neutral then lynching me would get you nothing. The scum have to outnumber all other parties to win - including neutral parties. The town only have to kill the scum.

Not really, if you read listen to me. Yes, lynching a scum would change the ratio, but if they are not the cultists killer, then all that is for nothing. However, lynching the serial killer is one less kill the cultists have against us tonight, meaning we won't be outnumbered during the night. And if we are outnumbered, then we'll take the neutral down with us, as punishment for siding with the cultists.

And now to our vigilante (be it the trap killer (nabbed us one cultist, but could be the work of a serial killer) or the axe killer (only killed town members so far, but aside from Portia, they've only attacked those who haven't spoken up much, as if trying to nab cultists who are trying to fly under the radar)). Would you mind not targeting anyone tonight? It's just given your recent track record, you may upset the ratio of town members to cultists.

As the day draws to a close, I get the distinct impression that I won't survive the night, even though I have no action. Still, I want to take this chance to thank all of you for seeing through the obvious scum distraction and bringing one of them to justice. It may have taken a few days, but we've finally done the right thing, which should reduce the number of losses we suffer tonight and give us the time to clean up this town in the coming days. With some logic and determination, I know that we can do it. Or, more likely, that you can do it.

The baaaaaa-ttle lines are looking pretty obvious to me, and I've left a detailed outline of what I think the scum have in mind with a couple of trusted allies. Use your heads and get the job done. :thumbup:

Day Six is now over. With 9 votes, Horace Horse (iamded) will be lynched.


050.jpg

The day has come to a close. There have been some strong words today.

"You're Scum!" Cameron says.

"No, you're Scum!" Shawna counters.

051.jpg

"How are we going to solve this?" one of the other Winter Haven citizens asks.

"I know," another Winter Haven citizen says. "Let's lynch Horace!"

"Good idead! Where'd he go?" yet another Winter Haven citizen asks.

052.jpg

"Hey! Woopty-Woo!" Horace calls from the roof of the Village Hall. "I'm up here!"

"Come down from there, Horace!" someone cries. "It's not safe!"

"Let's not lynch me!" Horace says, "Let's lynch Gilda! Nobody else is voting for her, so yay!!! Weepty-wee. La di doo."

053.jpg

"Am I a Cultist?" Gilda Goat wonders out loud. "It's hard to remember. We should've written everything we said down somewhere so we'd be able to reference it if we wanted to..."

054.jpg

"We might not have to do anything," Booker points out. "He's not being very careful. He may very well lynch himself."

Crash!!!

055.jpg

"Horace!!!" someone cries. "Are you all right?"

"Yes!" Horace answers. "I landed in the tree, hum di dum."

"Get down from there!" another someone hollars. "Horses can't climb trees!"

056.jpg

Crash!!!!!

The whole tree comes crashing down. That's what made the "crash" sound. I wonder if nobody had been around to hear it, would it have made a crash??

"Heavens to Hinckley!" someone shrieks. "Is he alive???"

057.jpg

"Oink, moo, quack!!" Horace says. "I love mushrooms! Nom nom nom. Don't send me to the glue factory."

058.jpg

"Hey, can horses swim?" Horace asks.

"Maybe," somebody answers. "The question is, can you, specifically, swim?"

059.jpg

"Let's find out!" Horace says gleefully as he wades into the river. "Oink, quack! La di da. Doot de dootle. Blah blah..."
