Objective:

The Odor Eaters win when they have outnumbered the Order of the Penis, including any third-parties and the Order of the Penis wins when all of the Odor Eaters are dead, including any third-parties.

The Rules:

1. You may not reveal or pretend to reveal your true identity throughout the course of the game. Doing so will result in the immediate death of your character. Likewise, be extra certain you do not post in the game as your real Eurobricks identity. If this gives away which character you are playing, this rule will be applied to that action.
   
2. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Order of the Penis or the Odor Eaters. To win the game, the Order of the Penis must kill off all of the Odor Eaters (and any third parties), while the Odor Eaters must outnumber the Order of the Penis (and any third parties). Any third party player will have win conditions that are detailed in their role PM...
   
3. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format only; Vote: Character. Similarly, unvoting is to be done in this format only; Unvote: Character. No other format will be accepted. You may also proxy your vote to another player, using this format; proxy: Character. 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.
   
4. In the case of a no-lynch, a Role Madness night will commence. A Role Madness night favors the Odor Eaters.
   
5. 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 24 hours, unless otherwise noted. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 20 hours of the night stage, or they will not be accepted, no exceptions.
   
6. 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.
   
7. 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.
   
8. You may not quote PMs from or to other players. Paraphrasing is allowed but no direct quoting. Please refrain from quoting PMs in the game threads and in private.
   
9. 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.
   
10. 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.
    
11. 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 be asked to play one of my games again.
    
12. You may not edit your posts.
    
13. You must post in every day thread.
    
14. You must vote in every day thread.
    
15. If you have a Night Action, you are required to use it every night, unless otherwise noted.
    
16. If you have a Night Action, you may not target the same player on three consecutive nights.
    
17. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host via PM. Please please please use only the confirmation PM I sent you to communicate with me if you can.
    
18. 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:

• 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, or any 7334 speak 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:

Name:

Alignment: Order of the Penis or 3rd Party or Odor Eaters

Role: You make your living in the wizarding world as a (occupation). You have the strange personality quirk (personality quirk).

Action: Your wand is made of (wood) with a (material) core and your special magic (spell, charm, curse, potion) is (Action*). (Action explanation)

*Note that the name of the Action is a Latin mashup of the actual action. The Town blocker and Scum blocker, for example, may have different Action names.

If you have any questions about your role PM, please contact the host via PM. Please use the attached image as your avatar for the duration of the game and also leave your character name in your signature for easy reference. Please confirm your participation in this thread.

Win Condition: You win when you kill off all of the Odor Eaters and any other 3rd Party or You win when you outnumber the Order of the Penis and any other 3rd Party.

(Wizarding advice.)

Any Third Parties may have slightly different role PMs.

Ok, Godric being a penis isn't good. But only one night kill is fantastic, this probably means Purplonia was the SK. It also means the other two, scum and vig, were blocked. I imagine the blocker(s) are sitting on a wealth of information right now, hopefully they have someone they can trust.

[Twatty Tittlesteen]

Well, on the bright side, Purplonia wasn't lying when she said she wasn't scum, and at least she wasn't town. I'm not terribly surprised Godric was town, but we had to test Helena's claim, and Purplonia, the only other lead, was "not scum", so we had nothing else to do really. But we ned to try really hard today. Helena, any results from last night? You appear to be in contact with an investigator.

Ummm, if Purplonia was the SK, why would she kill herself seeing as there was only one night kill.

[Orion Kettleboil]

Damn it, I had a feeling Godric was town.

I guess it's good that the SK (maybe??) was killed off, though. While she could have potentially killed scum, she was most likely to hit town, so it's best that she's dead.

Hippopaw, why did you say Purplonia was a penis when she was really a third party?

Well, sometimes I really need to put my magic thinking hat on. So that means, the serial killer didn't have priority in the kills; and either the scum or vig was blocked. I guess this is useful for public knowledge.

[Twatty Tittlesteen]

Or she was blocked and the vig was as well, or the scum were blocked and the vig killed Purplonia to test Helena's claim.

[Rutherford HablabbleBibble]

Interesting night...another Penis down, but at least (what I assume is) the serial killer got nailed...even if it seems to be by the scum?

Hippopaw, why did you say Purplonia was a penis when she was really a third party?

My question exactly.

[Belinda Bugglesby]

Or she was blocked and the vig was as well, or the scum were blocked and the vig killed Purplonia to test Helena's claim.

True, the scum sometimes have a blocker. If Purplonia was town the Odor Eaters would probably not want to kill her because then that could clear Helena. If neither were killed we'd focus on them again today; if neither were Odor Eaters, it'd waste our time and help out the scum. I suppose the vig was smart in taking her out, though if she actually was town (or an investigator) it'd be a major blow to us.

[Timly Dimplebop]

As clear as I can explain, it's this: i have learned Pink is town. There is almost no chance the vote would be split today if Godric was town. The scum don't need to play that way. So, I am 99% sure Godric is scum. There isn' t more to say.

All I want is an answer to this. I'll think about the NA actions once this has been explained.

[Langston Lionheart]

Hmm, Goatrick I was iffy on, but it sucks to lose another OotP On the flip side the SK is dead...at least I can be sure since the water jug is likely attributed to our bath-toaster killer...which makes me wonder why Helena was sure of Plutoponia's townieness. Hopefully she'll come with some answers.

On top of kill speculation already raised, the vig might have chosen not to kill, too unsure who to choose, perhaps?

[Firuz Foxtail]

Only one kill overnight and not OotP is great news for a change. But Helena was pretty adamant yesterday that Purplonia was town and Godric was scum.

Helena, can you shed some more light on this?

[Helena Hippopaw]

I said Pnk was town, making Godric scum. I never said I knew for a fact I knew Godric was scum. Pay attention!

The vig didn't kill yedterday, they told me themselves.

[Dillpickle Catterweed]

I said Pnk was town, making Godric scum. I never said I knew for a fact I knew Godric was scum. Pay attention!

The vig didn't kill yedterday, they told me themselves.

Perhaps it did fail to catch thy attention that Pink was not town.

As to the vig, I assume that thou doth mean on Night 3, leading into today?

[Ariattny Sugarbottom]

I said Pnk was town, making Godric scum. I never said I knew for a fact I knew Godric was scum. Pay attention!

The vig didn't kill yedterday, they told me themselves.

Hold on, you can't just brush that off, Two things:

- You said, you knew for a fact that Purplonia was town. Knew. As in certain. Well that wasn't true. Explain. You aren't an investigator since I doubt they'd see a third party as a town.

- You uses shoddy logic and said you were 99% certain Godric must have been scum. What are the odds? He wasn't.

- You claim to know a vig, that didn't kill. A vig doesn't have a solid reason not to kill at this point. You are likely not telling the truth here.

- Everyone, I think Helena is acting like she's in some sort of a town block, don't claim to her! Likely the fact Purplonia got killed send her plan in disarray, whatever that plan was.

I want you explaining this Helena, I am sure you remember, lynch all liars? And you have been saying some pretty big lies.

[Helena Hippopaw]

Everyone, Arittny is a total moron. Ignore her. I've already started discussions with many behind the scenes. I will tell more later, and you can judge if it's the truth or not.

But for the time being, I repeat, Ariattny is a total moron, and listening to her will be the end od town. Her ego will fight this, since her ego is huge and suffers from Tourette's, but at least for the first 24 hours, I recommed you ignore her inane, pissy megablocks.

In the final 48 hours of day three, follow her to a town loss if you must.

I don't think Ariattney is the only one waiting for expiations for this stuff... I hope you have a lot of answers coming.

[Twatty Tittlesteen]

I'm pretty sure we followed you on Day 3, Helena. It is Day 4, after all. I'm moreso inclined to believe that Ariattny is just a really aggressive townie. Helena has informed me of some things that sound town, but she could easily be ploying us all.

[Ariattny Sugarbottom]

I'm just asking you to explain yourself, Helena??? Something which I think is totally neccesary considering you flat out lied/were being lied to. You are being totally defensive. Instead of calling me names, how about you answer my five points?

I said Pnk was town, making Godric scum. I never said I knew for a fact I knew Godric was scum. Pay attention!

Also, this doesn't make any sense. You knew Pink was town, so somehow that makes Godric scum, your words. But you never knew Godric was scum after all? Convenient and really confusing! Also I believe you used the words "99% certain" over Godric's scumminess at one point. Never said I knew for a fact seems pretty off there...

How about you send that behind the scenes stuff to me as well? Oh wait, being suspicious of suspicious people makes me an idiot, something you'd never do. My mistake.

And why am I a total moron again?

I'm just coming back to this because I think this is really not okay. I ask for an explanation, I point out what you did, and in return I get called a total moron twice, it get's said I have a huge ego and my ego suffers from tourette's (how does that even work), and you call my words inane, pissy inferior plastic bricks? I think this is totally uncalled for. I demand an apology.

[Bartholomew Bearbutt]

Wow, this is confusing. Like most of us I'm wondering how Helana knew for a fact that Purplonia was town when she clearly wasnt. Shes been asked a couple times but she hasn't really answered. Did she somehow find the SK and wanted to protect her? Is she trying to mislead us?

Or she was blocked and the vig was as well, or the scum were blocked and the vig killed Purplonia to test Helena's claim.

True, the scum sometimes have a blocker. If Purplonia was town the Odor Eaters would probably not want to kill her because then that could clear Helena. If neither were killed we'd focus on them again today; if neither were Odor Eaters, it'd waste our time and help out the scum. I suppose the vig was smart in taking her out, though if she actually was town (or an investigator) it'd be a major blow to us.

We have seen the bifficus stifficus spell on all three nights so far which makes me think thats the scum killer. Also that would mean the vigilant didtn't kill on night 1 which makes sense. But it also means the odor eaters killed Pruplonia last night. If Helena is scum, why would she try to save the SK and then kill her? That makes no sense to me. It makes me wonder if we can rely on everyhing we see though but then its a wizardy school after all I guess.

This feeeeeeeeling that I got for you, baaaaaaaby there's nothing that I wouldn't do, I feeeeeel fpr yoooooooouuuuuu, I think I looooooooooooove you.

[Ariattny Sugarbottom]

Why can't it be one of the five other possibilities, that the stiffener is the SK? I have a good reason to think Purplonia was not the Serial Killer, but I am not quite sure what I can say about that. I'll let you know...

[Helena Hippopaw]

Pink was the SK. Pink tried to kill Ariattny yesterday, but was blocked.

I think the reason Ariattny thinks What they do is because they are scum, knowing who scum blocked.

[Firuz Foxtail]

I said Pnk was town, making Godric scum. I never said I knew for a fact I knew Godric was scum. Pay attention!

The vig didn't kill yedterday, they told me themselves.

This is not good enough. You need to explain what happened with Purplonia.

Pink was the SK. Pink tried to kill Ariattny yesterday, but was blocked.

Do you mean last night, as in Night 3? How do you know she was blocked?

[Ariattny Sugarbottom]

Pink was the SK. Pink tried to kill Ariattny yesterday, but was blocked.

I think the reason Ariattny thinks What they do is because they are scum, knowing who scum blocked.

Hm ok.... As I said, I'm waiting on my answer just to be sure I'm not breaking any rules, but I'm pretty sure you're lying about this, and I have pretty good evidence to prove it.

Six questions: -Why would the SK work with you? (who claims to be town) We aren't really winning, are we now?

-Why kill me? Purplonia never mentioned suspicion towards me, if by any chance you were stringing her along possibly with you knowing her to be the SK or something like that. Would it not make more sense for her to kill one of the people she voiced suspicion with?

Actually, no one voiced any suspicion towards me except Godric on night 1 with what he said was a jab and Wong on night 2 with what we know was just one of many of his actions that weren't too smart. A lot of people have actually voiced that they think I am town. Unless all those people are somehow not in your super-secret-probably-non-existant town block, you'd have ducked up majorly. Not that it matters, since Purplonia wasn't the SK.

night 1 and 2 should be day 1 and 2, of course.

[Helena Hippopaw]

Why try to kill Ariattny night 3? Why not? Why did the SK kill who they did nights one and two? A SK victims are completely different than scum's. For the record, day one's kill's motive was obscurity. Day two's motive was high-profile, and day three was obnoxiousness.

i will explain more when this little elephant is at home with her computer.

You just talked yourself into a corner. Four things: If the SK kills by such odd things, why did you not out him exactly? What use is a Serial Killer to the town if they choose their own targets, not by likelyhood of scum, but with some other ruleset. Explain everything at once. It can't be that hard. Here's what I think: You are either the Serial Killer, and you are annoyed that you tried to kill me and failed, and that's why you are so nasty towards me. Possibly Purplonia was an ally of some sort, as you basically saved her life with some pretty big actions yesterday. Must be annoying, to see her get killed. Or, you are actually scum.
