vote tally Gilda Goat (Quarryman): 1 vote (Shadows) Shawna Sheep (Shadows): 1 vote (Quarryman)

Interlude "Gosh," someone says. "We started with 26 people and now we're down to 6. It's like those Cultists really mean to kill all of us." "Gee," someone else adds. "Golly," another someone else contributes. Yet another someone expands on that by saying, "Jiminy Geez-o-dooz." "Oh, that's a good one," still another someone comments. "That one has got some fight in it." "Right," a sixth person yawns. "That's what we Villagers do. Fight... Ho hum." "What the hell is that round thing coming out of the fountain?" Shawna asks. "It's water?" Mindy guesses. "Water?" Shawna scoffs. "It looks more like some sort of control. Like it unlocks something or something like that..." "Maybe it unlocks a door to an underground world where there's an easier Mafia game being played," someone offers hopefully and pathetically. "Game?" someone else asks. "So, what should we do to ensure we're not killed?" another someone else asks. "Vote?" "Eh, maybe," yet another someone shrugs. "Maybe we should talk?" still another someone suggests. "Eh, we could," a sixth someone concedes. ... ... "This Village is really starting to look like shit," someone comments. "It's like nobody cares about it..." 24 hours remain in Day Seven.

Interlude You may now vote. You have 48 hours to reach a conviction.

Um...hello?

Thanks Zepher, Rufus and iamded. I was incredibly happy to have you in the game.

Players only please! It is the wee hours of morning and Cameron Crocodile (Rufus) is bashing the statue of The Great Eagle with his sledgehammer. Pancho Parrot (Zepher) is appalled to see this. "BAWK!!!" Pancho bawks. "I knew you were a Cultist! You're destroying the statue!" "I'm not a Cultist!" Cameron insists. "I can't get anyone to listen to me, so I'm doing all I can to protect this Village I love so dearly. If that means destroying the statue those Cultists want so badly, so be it! Hell, I built it, I can take it down!" "megablocks!" Pancho counters. "The Cultists aren't after the fountain. They're after the spring under the fountain. Removing the fountain is giving them easier access to it!!" "Well, I'm working out my frustration then," Cameron responds as he gives the statue one last good "WHACK!" with his mighty hammer. "Your lies are paper thin," Pancho says. "BAWK!! You're obviously the Scum who has been killing all of our friends." "You've been bawking up the wrong tree this whole time, megablock," Cameron replies. "I'm not a Cultist. I'm doing everything I can to help this Village, even risking my own life!! Listen, I believe you're a Villager. I think you've just been duped..." "Hold it right there," Pancho warns. "BAWK! I don't want to hear any more lies." "I'm keeping my eye on you all night to make sure you don't use your mind control potion on anyone," Pancho says as he dumps a bag of very fine powder over his body. "You expect us to believe your megablocks? BAWK!!" Pancho scoffs as he grabs a torch and ignites the flammable powder covering his body. "You expect us to believe what is clearly another one of your distractions?? How absurd!" "I've got this figured out! BAWK!" Pancho Parrot (Zepher) continues as he pops as sizzles on the cobblestone, "We're gonna win this!" "Stupid megablocking pigeon," Cameron shakes his head. Fire, Felix, soul-wrapping-in-flames, etc... "I've got this figured out! BAWK!" Pancho Parrot's spirit squawks, "We're gonna win this!" ...weird vial of Felix essence. The creepy figure appears, to grab the vial of Felix essence and Cameron seizes his chance to shine! "Hammer, don't fail me now!" Cameron says. "Time to do what I can to save this Village!" Cameron gives the figure a good "Whallup!" on the head. The dark figure falls to its feet, dazed and confused. "Now to remove this disguise and find out who you really are," Cameron says in his best Shaggy impression. Unfortunately for Cameron COCKodile (Rufus), it's only Clive the Kaboominator with a special gift attached to his head. "Seriously, people, whatever you do, don't make me hate Cameron Crocodile forever. " are Cameron's dying words... As the picture says, "Kablooie!!" The trap killer comes out and dances for its success. It may have destroyed the lovable remote-controlled Clive, but at least it got rid of that Scummy Scummy Cameron Crocodile... The true creepy dark figure appears and retrieves the Essence du Felix. In the morning, the living people find the dead people, yadda yadda. Horace Horse's body has conveniently popped back up from the depths just so they could identify his allegiance. "Sorry about your husband, Gilda," someone says. "I had a husband?" Gilda asks. "It's hard to remember things." "At least somebody got it right for once and killed that Scummy Scummy Cameron Crocodile," another someone harumphs. Marcellus the Monk goes through the ritual of identifying the dead. Pancho Parrot (Zepher) was an innocent Villager. Horace Horse (iamded) was a Cultist. Cameron COCKodile (Rufus) was an innocent Villager. The remaining six citizens of Winter Haven stare at each other, crunch some numbers in their heads, and think about thinking. Some time passes... "I can't believe I haven't had a peanut butter sandwich yet," someone finally says. Day Seven has begun. You cannot vote during 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.

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.

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.

I'm hoping to get Day Seven up in the next hour.

"By light of the moon remains to be seen, little bottle of red, yellow, purple or green. Unless the correct color isn't shown, endless puzzles to make you groan." The Night Six Puzzle phase #2 has begun. You have twelve hours to answer it. Please send your answer to Fugazi and Hinckley using your role PM only. Any answer received outside of your role PM will not be accepted. Any player can participate in this puzzle, but if you were incorrect in phase #1, you aren't eligible to win the Action.

Mod note: Ugh, I had that riddle written wrong at first. It's fixed now. Sorry about that. Ooooh-h, ooh-h, oooh-h!

Firuz Fox and Marcellus the Monk sit out late at night discussing the state of Winter Haven at the fountain. "There must be something we can give you in exchange for the names of the Cultists," Marcellus pleads. "I want to live, Marcellus," Firuz answers. "They just want this fountain. Don't you want to live to see tomorrow?" "Evil may take over for a time," Firuz continues. "But, the pendulum always swings back the other way. Don't you see that hope is lost? Wouldn't you like to be around when goodness prevails again?" "Hope is definitely not lost," Marcellus declares defiantly. "You already used that joke," Firuz interrupts. "It's not a joke!" Marcellus snaps back. "It's the truth. Happy, adorable animals don't megablocking give up. They fight. Yes, I'd rather die than allow the Cultists to rule our souls and benefit from our pain and misery." "There are plenty of places to hide," Firuz gives it one last shot. "Making potions for them is a great way to hide in plain sight." "There's no hiding from these monsters," Marcellus concludes. "They gain from our pain. How long can we hide until they find us? How long until they don't need you and would rather offer your soul to the evil spirit in the dark forest?" Meanwhile, Gilda Goat and Cameron Crocodile have opened Gibson Goat's Tavern once again so everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. Even though many of them want to kill each other ... and most likely will after the partying is over, they know it's all just a game and they act as friends once more. "Look out behind you, Harriet!" Edgar cries, enjoying the books his beloved Portia loved so. Shawna and Cameron sing late into the night, while Booker scratches his back on a tree. Mindy and Pancho drop their suspicions of each other and re-kindle their love. Seamus and Gilda accompany their spouses. For a short time, love & fun and happy & adorable prevail over evil... "Hmmmm," the statue says, "If there is another day, you'll need something good to help you through. Try this one out: Brigit Bunny is as old as Lazlo Lion will be when Brigit is twice the age that Lazlo was when Brigit's age was half the sum of their present ages. How old is Brigit Bunny? How old is Lazlo Lion?" The Night Six puzzle phase #1 has begun. To answer the questions, PM your answer to Foog and Hinckley, using your role PM.

With 9 votes, Horace Horse (iamded) will be lynched. 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. "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. "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." "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..." "We might not have to do anything," Booker points out. "He's not being very careful. He may very well lynch himself." Crash!!! "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!" 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???" "Oink, moo, quack!!" Horace says. "I love mushrooms! Nom nom nom. Don't send me to the glue factory." "Hey, can horses swim?" Horace asks. "Maybe," somebody answers. "The question is, can you, specifically, swim?" "Let's find out!" Horace says gleefully as he wades into the river. "Oink, quack! La di da. Doot de dootle. Blah blah..." Please get your Night Actions in ASAP. You have 24 hours from now to get your actions in.

Interlude 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. "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." 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..." 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..." 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..." The spirit of Bristol Bunny appears. ... 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??" 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?" "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh," Mindy says. "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." Eeee EEEE EEEE EEE EEEEEEE!!!!! Oooh h-ooh, h-ooh, h-ooh, ooh, ooooh, ooooh!!! vote tally Horace Horse (iamded): 7 votes (Zepher, Shadows, penalty, WhiteFang, Professor Flitwick, Dragonator, Dannylonglegs) Edgar Elephant (WhiteFang): 1 vote (penalty) Gilda Goat (Quarryman): 1 vote (iamded) 24 hours remain in Day Six.

Interlude It is late morning and the citizens of Winter Haven are acting weird. They haven't really hung around the Village Square the way they have for the previous days. They are just flitting about announcing vague strategies and strong words against the enemy, then ducking behind closed doors to have private conversations. Meanwhile, Marcellus the Monk is planning to host a party for Winter Haven to keep everyone's mind off of the bloodbath this week has become. He explains to Firuz Fox how to be a good host. "Clarity is key," Marcellus explains. "Your guests might not feel comfortable at the party or know exactly what's happening, so if you see them confused at all you should remove whatever confusion you can, make things clear." Firuz nods as he prepares some nice flower arrangements. Pancho Parrot pops into the Village Square to offer some encouraging words. "All hands on deck!" Pancho announces. "Don't expect your carrier pigeon mail parrot to carry your messages for you. Come out and say what you have to say! BAWK!!" "How reassuring," Marcellus notes as Pancho dashes off. "This could be unclear to your guests," Firuz points out. "What?" Marcellus asks. "Maurice Mouse said something odd about the Eagle yesterday," Firuz explains. "And today his ghost is hovering around it pointing to it and shaking his head." "If only you could hear me!" the ghost of Maurice Mouse says. "We can," Firuz informs him. "Oh Good!" Maurice says. "This is the Spring. The one that The Baker and his wife died to protect. This is what the Cultists are ultimately after, besides the power of the fox, of course. The spring is under the fountain. You would think it would be in Spring Haven, but that's not really a double-entendre. It's just misleading. Anyway, if the Scum win, they harness the power of the spirit in the spring. That would stop us from being able to come back from the dead. It would also give the Cultists over the entire world of FABULAND and trap our souls, etc. etc. etc. If the Villagers live, we can protect the spring and all return, blah blah blah. Not really anything to do with game mechanics, just extra story and plot. It can be mostly ignored." "Oh, thanks," Firuz says. "No problem!" Maurice Mouse the brave answers, then disappears. "This fountain creates quite the exciting party centerpiece now!" Marcellus notes. "Hello there!" Gilda Goat announces, "I have not been around very much lately, but I will be around today. OK, goodbye!" "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." "What is it?" Firuz asks. "The most evil crayon drawing you've ever seen," Marcellus answers. "I've seen some pretty evil crayon drawings," Firuz tells him. "That makes sense," Firuz says. "That essence must be what the Cultists pick up in that weird vial every night. More plot. 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." Edgar Elephant pops in to announce, "Both sides are definitely gearing up for this final last stand. We, townies must make the true and right lynch decision!" "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." You may now vote. You have 48 hours to reach a conviction. Whoever has the most votes will win an exciting lynch! Don't forget to make your animal sound in every post I would hate for someone to be lynched just because they don't follow this rule despite being fairly warned for five game days in a row.

Late December back in '63, What a very special time for me. What a lady, What a night!

The new day has been posted. Huge thank you to Cecilie, Scubacarrot, TinyPiesRUs and CallMePie! Thanks for playing the game, guys! I really enjoyed having you guys in it.

Players only please! It is late at night and Gordon Gorilla (Scubacarrot) is wandering through the Village Square. What's this? A free polaroid? "What's this?" Gordon asks. "A free polaroid?" "I love pictures of myself since I am the dominant sliverback of Winter Haven," Gordon explains to himself. "I think I'll take this chance to get a free polaroid of my virile, handsome mug." "Let's see," Gordon says as he checks out the scene. "I sit here and I press this..." A dark figure dances with joy and skips off into the night. Next, Mayor Lazlo Lion (TinyPiesRUs) comes out for a moonlight stroll. It's hard to sleep without his schnooky-ookums to cuddle-wuddle with. "Sigh," Lazlo sighs. "It's hard to sleep without my schnooky-ookums to cuddle-wuddle with." It's not long until he's face to face with the axe killer! "So, it's you!" Lazlo says as he raises his fists and invites the killer to fight. "You should've thought twice before messing with a Mighty Lion!! ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!" ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Sadly, for the Mayor, the axe killer takes advantage of the fit of narcolepsy... ...and takes the Great Lion down. And finally, Heidi Hippo (CallMePie) is doing her best to be a bodyguard for someone. "It's a lot easier to protect you if you'd just stay at home!" she chastises her companion. The dark companion wanders aimlessly towards the torches and pulls out a bag of a very fine powder. "Oh shit," Heidi says. "You're blacked out but I'm visible. I wonder what's going to happen. You know, I could've commuted tonight... " Heidi grabs the bag from the person she's protecting. "I definitely won't be letting you cause any harm to yourself!" she cries defiantly. The bag comes away more easily than she expected and she ends up covered in the powder herself. As Heidi sneezes, the person she is trying to protect is trying to light themselves on fire, with or without the powder. "Stop!" Heidi yells as she grabs the torch from her companion...and inadvertently ignites the powder on herself. Heidi ignites quickly, but being the street smart farmer she is, makes a dash for the fountain. She is able to put the fire out... "This is odd," she observes. "I always assumed I'd die of itchyrearenderitis." ...but it is too late. That creepy megablocking fox appears and wraps Heidi's soul up in a whirlwind of fire. Felix Fox disappears in a flash of phantom flames and leaves behind an enigmatic vial of green liquid. As is typical in this situation, a blacked out figure runs in, snatches the vial and flits off into the night as Heidi's friend continues to try to light itself on fire, to no avail. Heidi Hippo is someone's hero... In the morning, the citizens of Winter Haven go from body to body, numbly taking in the carnage. It is hard to work up the energy to express their rage and disappointment that three more friends, including their brave and Lion-hearted Mayor, have perished in the night...at least they think they were friends. Marcellus the Monk is there to clear up the confusion. Carly Cow (Tama-guts-mono) was an innocent Villager. Heidi Hippo (CallMePoolCue) was an innocent Villager. Gordon Gorilla (Scumbaradish) was an innocent Villager. Mayor Lazlo Lion (TP4#2) was an innocent Villager. Maurice Mouse (Cecilie) was an innocent Villager. The citizens of Winter Haven are speechless. "I wonder how many Cultists are left." Someone mutters. "Look, more weeds." Firuz observes. Day Six has begun. You may not vote during the first 24 hours. Please note the day's roleplay rule. 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 if you can. You must make your animal noise in every post. If your animal doesn't commonly make a well known sound, do something. Be creative. The point is to have fun. (You have the first 24 hours to practice. Penalties will not be incurred on posts before voting starts) These roleplay violations will incur one vote per penalty. [/i] 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: Any Third Parties may have slightly different role PMs. Non-Playable Characters Marcellus the Monk, played by Hinckley Firuz Fox, the Alchemist, played by Fugazi Active Players (9) Booker Bear, Garbage Man, married to Becka Bulldog, played by Dragonator Cameron Crocodile, Carpenter, married to Gilda Goat, played by Rufus Edgar Elephant, Fisherman, married to Portia Poodle, played by WhiteFang Gilda Goat, Doctor, married to Cameron Crocodile, sister of Gibson Goat, played by Quarryman Horace Horse, Blacksmith, played by iamded Mindy Mouse, Accountant, married to Pancho Parrot, played by Professor Flitwick Pancho Parrot, Postman, married to Mindy Mouse, played by Zepher Seamus Sheepdog, Taxidermist, married to Shawna Sheep, played by Dannylonglegs Shawna Sheep, Lawman, married to Seamus Sheepdog, played by Shadows The Deceased (17) Petey Panda, Fisherman, played by darkdragon, lynched on Day One - Villager Bristol Bunny, Seamstress, played by Bob, murdered with an axe on Night One - Villager Wallace Walrus, Lawman, played by Masked Builder, murdered by a bear trap on Night One - Cultist Carly Cow, Ice Cream Shoppe Owner, played by Tamamono, lynched on Day Two - Villager Baxter Bulldog, Mechanic, played by Waterbrick Down, murdered by anvil on Night Two - Villager Ralphy Rabbit, Farmer, married to Ernie Elephant, played by badboytje88, lynched on Day Three - Villager Becka Bulldog, Beautician, married to Booker Bear, played by Rick, murdered by xylophone on Night Three - Villager Gibson Goat, Bartender, brother of Gilda Goat, played by Pandora, murdered with an axe on Night Three - Villager Portia Poodle, Grocer, married to Edgar Elephant, played by CorneliusMurdock, murdered with an axe on Night Three - Villager Ernie Elephant, Dock Worker, married to Ralphy Rabbit, played by JimButcher, died of self-immolation on Night Three - Villager Casey Cat, Painter, married to Maurice Mouse, played by Scouty, lynched on Day Four - Cultist Brigit Bunny, Florist, First Lady of Winter Haven, married to Lazlo Lion, played by Sandy, murdered by immolation on Night Four - Villager Pennie Pig, Schoolteacher, played by Eskallon, murdered by an old woman on Night Four - Villager Maurice Mouse, Dock Worker, married to Casey Cat, played by Cecilie, lynched on Day Five - Villager Gordon Gorilla, Lawman, played by Scubacarrot, murdered by shotgun polaroid on Night Five - Villager Lazlo Lion, Mayor of Winter Haven, married to Brigit Bunny, played by TinyPiesRUs, murdered with an axe on Night Five - Villager Heidi Hippo, Farmer, played by CallMePie, murdered by immolation while trying to protect someone on Night Five - Villager

Today's challenge has resulted in a three-way tie. If you are one of the players tied, you've been sent a PM indicating that your score is tied with others. To break the tie, please choose an elixir from my table: Going to try it this way again. Only one bottle will win this, my friend. Let it be gold, clear, blue or smoke. Don't over-think it or you're likely to choke. The Night Five puzzle phase #2 has begun. To answer the riddle, PM your answer to Foog and Hinckley, using your role PM. Answers not sent in your role PM will not be accepted. You have ~8 hours from the time of this post to answer the riddle. (I will be trying to get Day Six up early.)
