So right now we're just waiting on Sylph to patch up those wanting patching up, and then we can sort this mess out. Which is good, really, as I have a facial booked. You should come too, Namyrra, it'll be fun and it'll take years off you. You'll still look ancient, but maybe a bit less ancient, and it really is a great way to wind down after reckless destruction and mindless carnage.

I don't want to be too forward, so I'll just call you Shadows. I couldn't have said it better myself!

And a +1 to darkdragon from me too. Thanks very much!

Are you a... flower of some sort??

Hello. My name is Shadows. I expect to be called by that name at all times because it is my name. Seems perfectly reasonable. if you don't know meee byyy no-aw, you will nevereverever knowow meeee ooooooo ooo ooo ooo oooooo

Sorry, this was the quote I meant to refer to earlier, about you suspecting me at the point I'd barely become scum. Then you're... you'd be gravely mistaken, and if you'd thought that back then, when I'd later been shown to be an active Townie, why on earth make the same (wrong) assumption now? I do find it somewhat amusing that the entire time I was Town you "were on to me" being scum, and after I was converted we had some useful conversations where you trusted me enough to provide me with some pertinent information that I was able to verify with my team-mates and subsequently use in my defence.

sorry, i'm still relatively a n00b here and getting used to the site. will be a better searcher next time. thanks. As you have now seen we already have a thread for this. Locking and merging. EDIT: Aaaaand merged. Please do search better next time.

It, unfortunately, appears that we have. I agree to re-checking the maid, and then maybe finding Schuester and asking him if there's anywhere else we should be looking. I'm pretty confident we've checked every room on the map, maybe there is a room or an area that isn't on the map after all?

Hinckles, this was a wonderfully made game, which you clearly put loooads of time and effort into - totally hilarious and always running ahead of time, so thank you for all of your hard work and dedication and for making this sooo much fun for all of us! And I'm glad I (sort of) managed to make someone blow up in the end for you! Congratulations fellow scummers! It was hard work at times, but well worth it and I enjoyed our discussions immensely. I did feel like we made a great team and that we worked very well together, it was also clear that that had been the case before I joined; I was outraged that Rick killed off Kart and def! The writeboard was business-like when it needed to be and hilarious the rest of the time. Thanks for converting me! I have to say Rick, I think you played a stunning game here, clearly neutral retrospectively but not so obvious at the time at all. Your strategies were sound and you made good choices - a very well deserved win (and survival!) Plus, you were the one who unwittingly merged the two mafia factions, thus allowing my conversion. I'm very glad you teamed up with us eventually and that we all won together. Commiserations town, and sorry to anyone who I may have offended, it was all part of the game, as were my reactions to events (mostly) too. A couple of responses from me... I'd just like to say that in the vote for Shadows, I had no grudge to bear against you as you think, I even said so on the WB. I laid into you in the thread because I believed you were scum trying to find anyway you could to convict Shadows whom I believed to be town, not because I thought you didn't like him - my last comment about "maybe you just don't like him" or whatever it was, was actually a get-out clause for me. The title of the PM thread I started with Shadows was actually called "Denis the Menace". It's very interesting to read about how sure people were that I was scum, I admit that it was pretty obvious at the end and the last day I was mostly having a little fun (yeah, why hadn't Draggy been lynched?? ), however people seem to have forgotten that I was actually town for half the game. For instance: You said you were onto me early on... very early in fact - before I was converted. Everything you based your suspicions off were things that had happened or I had done as a townie, so I admire your prescience in knowing before anyone else I would be converted. I defended myself exactly the same way I would have had I not been converted and remained town, and pretty much everything I said to you was true. If it's any consolation, I spent most of the time up until my conversion convinced you were scum and I was planning to launch a vote for either you or def Day 5 anyway. I was only converted on Night 4!! I didn't post in Day 5 until about halfway into the whole "Day" so if you thought I was scum at that point you were basing it off my town game! Well, in all of the games (three) you've played with me I've been town 50% of the time (remember I was Town in The Coming Darkness until I was lynched). 50%, that's about as good as guessing, really. So I guess I'm now a player assumed to be scum until lynched otherwise? And also interestingly, my instincts prior to conversion were mostly proved right; I might have been useful to the town. If I'd not been converted, that is...

Best wishes for a very Happy Birthday Boney!! Hope you have a lovely day.

Oooh, that was fun! Onto the spoils: Sylph gets the Water Bomb and a Venom, everyone else gets a Venom, except me. Killing things brings out my generous side, what can I say? Now is the time to drink Potions and use Venoms if anyone feels the need - I don't see the need to use a Venom myself as I'll hopefully have something in my magical repertoire that will be suitable. Once everyone's happy we'll move onto the bedroom to hopefully find Chesterine and Zed, and maybe find out what happened to Zelda too.

You know Ruslana, the rest of us have been working our megablocks off (and Wilem, may he rest in peace, spent a long time working on his megablocks), whereas you've been content to sit by and just watch as we are lynched, killed at night, poisoned or blown up. You've really done very little to help us root out the evil in this town. In fact you've barely been here at all. Today you swing by to drop off your vote, with no explanation or reasoning - that was just "all you had to say", and then when questioned you tell us you've given up and you are waiting for death. You're surprised to still be alive - "Gosh, little old me, quiet as a mouse, still alive, that's a surprise!" yes it is a bit, isn't it? Dmitri, as Falicia has pointed out through analysis doesn't seem to have a voting pattern that fits with being either a Russian or a Baritone, and I shall be fair and say that you did vote for Donil who was a Russian scum, but I now believe that to be part of your long-game. You knew that Stanislav was working hard to ensure that Donil was convicted - it was obviously inevitable to you, so what better way to hide away for the whole game than to vote for a doomed team-mate and keep quiet for the rest of this ordeal, feigning surprise to still be alive at this potentially crucial point. Do you want to know why I think Dmitri hasn't been killed at night? Because every day his name comes up for us to lynch; he is a useful foil to distract us from you and your team-mates. If Dmitri weren't here we might be able to see past the smoke-and-mirrors to see the truth - him being alive might be the only thing preventing our town from falling to ruin and the mafia murdering us in our beds. I applaud you for fooling us for so long, but it's time to give it up now Ruslana. I think Dmitri is the wrong choice today and has been every day - you and your team have successfully used him to divert attention away from you and you're trying to do so again. I vote: Ruslana (Quarryman)

Happy Birthday LuxorV!! Hope you have a wonderful day!

That's more like it. So I'll be casting Wood magic on Beth the Bath, from the back row. Althior I assume you're using Lightning or Wind? Just you haven't specified your spell yet. Party Order: Cronk Bacari Nyx Althior Namyrra Sylph Should I make a lame joke about "cleaning them up"? No, best not...

Well, I believe we're leaving the master bedroom until last, so I guess it's the bathroom. Now's your opportunity Cronk, just wait until we've come back out again before you make your ablutions, eh?

Good plan. Onwards team!

Thank .... for that. I was so very close to.. doing something very unpleasant. Namyrra, for all your hard work I think you should have the Lullaby Wand, and I will keep the Sandman's Parasol for myself. Because it's pretty. Can we go kill things now? Please? I have some tension to work out. Maybe on to the Study? Yes?

OK Dark Blue teddy - Bluto Light Blue teggy - Merlyn Orange teddy - Lilly Pink teddy - Morgan ??

Please, lovely nanny, please I beg of you, tell us everything you know about the children themselves. Pleeeease. In the meantime, we'll grab the kids and try this combination: Orange teddy - Lilly's bed Dark Blue teddy - Bluto's bed Pink teddy - Morgan's bed Light blue teddy - Merlyn's bed. Does that work???

The poisoner is certainly putting the rest of us to shame! Way to go poisoner! It's a pity you had to kill so many of us, though, along the way. I wonder if this was just pure dumb luck on the poisoner's part though, given Denis was a low poster from yesterday. This is also perhaps the breakthrough we needed, as we feared that the situation might be nearing breaking point. Of course, it still might be. I agree with the sentiments that it is dangerous for us to make assumptions. I think there's more going on here than meets the eye. It's very interesting that Denis would urge us to vote for Dmitri with his unknowing last breath, and I'm really not sure it is wise to trust the words of a now confirmed scum.

Indeed we do. Merging.... EDIT: and merged.

Well it would make sense to me that the colours are relevant. So let's try a combination and see what happens: Pink teddy into Lilly's bed. Dark blue teddy into Merlyn's bed. Light blue teddy into Morgan's bed. Orange teddy into Bluto's bed. Does that work?

Do we look like any of us know anything about kids? I'm not sure Cronk even knows where they come from. Right. Everyone grab a kid to stop them causing more trouble, and maybe we'll work out which bed to put them into.

You know, I'm sure I mentioned my sweet singing voice... Anyway, nanny, you have experience in calming these dear sweet angels down, is there anything you would suggest? A hot cup of cocoa? A bedtime story? Would they like to play a game, maybe? Do they have favourite toys, or would they like to see a magic trick? Nyx is still trying to decide whether the children would find it entertaining or not to see the kitten vaporised.

I actually agree... moving... EDIT: and moved. The subtitle to the thread explains why.
