Bob

There's been no guesses! Hurry up!

In downtown Lexington, the real townspeople watched as their town, their homes, were turned into a movie set. The various hospital figures were mixed in with other themes. "We need more water!" Truman Bigbucks yelled into his megaphone. "Now what?" someone asked. "Mayor Bob!" Agent Stone yelled. "Yes, what is it Agent Stone." "What the hell is going on here?! What is all of this!" "Oh, um, well Mr. Bigbucks has taken over the production of the game, and now it's become something ridiculous." "Are you an actor too?" someone asked. "Do I look like I'm a goddamned actor to you?!" "No." everyone replied in unison. "Someone grab some buckets, we need more water, pronto!" "Alright you criminals. Contrary to your beliefs, there are bad apples in your basket." Agent Stone said. "What?" someone asked. "There's spoiled milk in your cake." "What?" someone else asked. "There's megablocking murderers among you!!!" Agent Stone yelled. "Oh." everyone replied again. "Most of what you've seen is all real. People are indeed dead. It's up to you to figure out who killed the chief. Go back and review everything you've found! You got that?!" "Yes sir!" "Good."

For as long as I see fit. The minimum is forty-eight hours. After that, the day is subject to end randomly.

You each send in individual answers. "Feel free to share your thoughts, but your answers won't be counted if you answer here. Argue and yell at each other, too. That's always fun."

"Start sending in those answers, or else something ridiculous will happen. We've already jumped the entire aquarium by now."

You're supposed to PM them to me, you know. "And this isn't a reality TV show, folks." Bob said. "This is going on a famous website."

CHAPTER NINE - IN WHICH WE JUMP THE SHARK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Where is everyone else?" Officer Jackson said out loud. "And how are my casts off?" He looked around. "I'm being focused on, I hope I'm not being killed." "CUT!" Bob yelled. "What the devil is all of this?!" Officer Jackson asked. "Mr. Mayor, what is all of this?" "I'm not really the Mayor, I'm the host." "I thought something was fishy! I didn't remember voting you for!" "Hold it!" Truman Bigbucks said, as he arrived on the scene. "We need more action to attract people. Think big!" "Big?" Bob asked. "Yes! I have a perfect idea!" Truman Bigbucks said. "What?" Officer Jackson asked. "Boo!" the alien yelled. "Aieeeee!" Officer Jackson shrieked. "Cut! This is a bit ridiculous, this is about a murder not an alien invasion." "What the hell is going on over here?" Deputy Chief Scott asked. "If we're solving a murder, here's a new angle. A rogue off the handle space-cop has to capture a murderer, but has to deal with his annoying yet sexy boss, Chief Sassypants." Truman Bigbucks says. "What's going on here, Mr. Mayor?!" the two police officers ask. "Kid Pirate!!!" Truman Bigbucks yells. "What should I do with this prop, boss?!" a crewman asks. "If we run, we can get the others." Deputy Scott said. "I can't run, even though my cast is off and my cane has gone away off camera, I still have leg injuries." "Everyone shut up and clear the set! Let's take it from the top again! Bring in the doctor!" "Jackie Scott?" Doctor Barker asks. "I'm afraid you're pregnant...and it's a girl." "What?!" Scott asked. "Cut! More action, less drama!" "Come with me if you want to live, pregnant lady!" Doctor Barker says, as he shoots the area indiscriminately. "What's going on here?" the rest of the townies ask. "CUT!" Bob yelled into Amber's ear. "Ow!" "Take a break, everyone." "Mr. Mayor? Is this really just a game?" Scott asked, as a crew member brushed her hair. "Obviously. I can't believe you haven't noticed the camera crew before this." "Then you know who killed the Chief!" "Yes, of course. That's what you have to answer." "Why can't you just tell us?" "Because, this is a mystery game." The Mayor gathered everyone else. "I've changed the questions now to make them very simple, so everyone should answer them. 1) Who killed Chief McGovern? 2) Why did Chief McGovern die? 3) Who was the accomplice? Keep in mind, it can be anyone, alive or dead! Good luck!" ~~~ Julia Montgomery (Dannylonglegs) has 0 life points, and is dead. Robbie Swanson (Jedi master brick) has 0 life points, and is dead. Officer Ryan Hutch (Badboytje88) has 0 life points, and is dead. Alex Jordan (cralegoboy) has 0 life points, and is dead. Ashley Baker (K-nut) now has 5 life points.

There are 16 participants. If you commit to the game you are committing to contributing to the story and sticking with it to the end. 2. You must search for clues. This means that an action must be specified. For example, you wish to search a room for hidden objects. The following is an example of how not to go about this: "I wish to look for suspicious or hidden objects in this room". Instead, you must be able to specify what you want to do. For example: "I would like to open the drawers of the cabinet." It is not required for you to specify exactly what you are doing and what you are looking for, but a generalized statement will not find you anything. Act like a detective and you will be fine. I will always give a detailed explanation of a room, however, feel free to ask for clarification. 3. Please be patient with me between chapters, I will try to put up the chapter topics as quickly as possible, but, this might not be so all the time. 4. Please try to avoid editing your posts. If you made a spelling error, simply post immediately after correcting your spelling error. If you wish to add more, a double post can be made, however use this rule wisely. Obviously, you may not make a quadruple post. Please wait for someone else to post before you post something else, unless absolutely necessary. 5. You can reference anything in pop culture, as this is being played real time. You can mention current events if you want to. You can use any electronic device that you wish to use, with exception. For example, you can’t take out your time machine to determine who the killers are. 6. I won’t keep you in a certain room if you don’t want me too. However, you may not return to a room that you were already in, so ensure that you have searched every part of the room before leaving. 7. There are a few NPC’s in certain areas of the town. These NPC’s might have evidence, however they might not. Also, the evidence given by them might be false information. You cannot do anything other than talk to these NPC’s. You can only go and speak to them when you arrive in their area. For example, each NPC is in a certain part of the town. If you’re at point A, you cannot go and speak to an NPC at point B. 8. Failure to follow these rules will result in a warning. A second failure will result in the death of your character. 9. There are no night actions or chapter actions. However, there are Miscellaneous Actions. With this system, if you’d like to PM me a non-lethal action (I.E; “I’d like to go visit Player A”), then that’s fine. However, things that could harm people (I.E; “I’d like to go kill Player A”) are not allowed. These are only allowed at night. Night comes at the end of every chapter. I’ll allow most anything, so let your imaginations go wild. However, you can’t leave Lexington. That is not a valid action. 10. No Metagaming please. Also, don’t base suspicions on how the person looks. 11. There will be a life-point system. Every player starts out with ten life-points, and regenerates one life point at the end of a chapter. For example, if you fall and twist your ankle, you’d likely lose one life point. If you fall off a boat into an engine prop, you’re likely to lose most if not all of your life points. Think logically. Perhaps walking along the rickety boards in the construction zone is not a good idea. 12. The host is usually always right. If you think he’s wrong, feel free to send me a message about it. 13. Most of all have fun. This game is meant to be enjoyable despite the "questionable" things occurring. Rules may be added or deleted as the game goes on based on game play. Julia Montgomery (Dannylonglegs) has 0 life points, and is dead. Robbie Swanson (Jedi master brick) has 0 life points, and is dead. Officer Ryan Hutch (Badboytje88) has 0 life points, and is dead. Alex Jordan (cralegoboy) has 0 life points, and is dead. Ashley Baker (K-nut) now has 5 life points. Officer Steven Jackson (ProfessorFlitwick) now has 5 life points. Marcus Baker (CallMePie) now has 10 life points, and is completely healed.

There isn't. Chapter Eight doesn't end extravagantly, how boring. Agent Stone arrives. "Alright you vagrant criminals, I've concluded my investigation, so now it's time to conclude yours. You have until the end of Chapter Nine to complete your answers. Investigations have concluded, so there will be no more investigating." "Chapter Ten will be the conclusion sort of thing, that everyone including the audience can post in." "We have an audience?" someone asked. "Yes, now stop being cynical." the Mayor replied.

Besides some evidence that the areas need to be cleaned, there's nothing odd there. One can't, but another one can. "I love you Alex!" one of the parrots yells. "In hindsight I really should have picked up on that..."

It's dog food, fish food, and a formula for kittens. It's doing well, and everything hints that it is. "Ummm...I think the Chief might have bought his wife a goldfish."

"Usually about two hundred dollars, mostly in 10's and 20's." It is.

You've owned it for many years. There's only money and coins inside the cash register.

"Whoa there, little miss. That's my cash register, not some set of drawers. I keep my money in there!" No, they all left. There's two parrots, a cat, a dog, and a goldfish. It's a dog chew toy.

The team arrives outside the pet shop, which is directly beneath the townhouse. Interior: (Shamelessly lifted from the LEGO website, since it's much easier.) "Who are all of these clowns in my store?!"

There's the Montgomery's Pet Store beneath us.

There's no property tag on the refrigerator. "I don't believe that we have much time left today."

It's not identifiable. And, yes, this is the microwave from the police station. Not really... Likely domestic use, it looks like a carving knife. "Not that I know of." Scott says. Chief McGovern found it was broken. The chips are "American" chips, tortilla type. They are numbers for the police station, fire station, hospital, and poison control center. "Ummm, not that I am aware of." Officer Jackson said.

As you can see, we're back in business!

It is indeed loaded, fully and completely. The box claims to contain 500 bullets. There's about 450 now. The microwave is functional. On the side, it says "Property of Chief McGovern". There's a few marks on the police station number, mostly underlines. "Standard issue cop gun? What's that supposed to mean? And yes, this is the weapon we use." Nothing is on the knife. The Title is "Policeman Monthly". There's articles on proper search techniques and whatnot.

I'll be in the hospital for the next few weeks, and I'll be cut off from the rest of the world. When I return, if there's still interest for the game, it will continue. If not, players can submit their answers and a conclusion will be posted. I'm truly very sorry about this.

Game Pause See Discussion Thread

There's a gun, a box of bullets, a knife, a magazine, a phone book, a copy of "Dress for Success", and other items. It's mostly empty, except for some frozen foods. The microwave has a bag of chips in it. The bullet has not been fired.

There's nothing really odd inside the books. There's a few coins, a wrench, a few pieces of dirt, and a bullet. It's small, there's a little refrigerator, a set of drawers, and a microwave. They're mostly all mystery novels. "Whoa there, Officer Jackson." a voice booms from above. "That's just a freak accident!"

Welcome to the Hutch home. There's a small kitchen and a small couch nearby a bowl of dog food and water. There's also an assortment of books on a shelf.

It's empty. Next to his home is the Montgomery Pet Store. On the other side is the police station. Hutch lives above the pet store.
