Hinckley

Becka Bulldog (Rick) walks home from Gibson Goat's Tavern through the Village Square. What's this? A xylophone! "What's this?" Becka says. "A xylophone! I love xylophones. I think I'll play it." "Look, someone's even left me some sheet music to play." Kaplooie!!! A dark figure gleefully conducts the falling keys before dashing off into the night. Let's see, who's next? Oh, yes. Portia Poodle (CorneliusMurdock) has an important job to do. How she came about getting this job is a very interesting story...but there's no time right now. We have a blood bath to get to. Let's just say that Portia has experienced the raw force of the evil spirit in the dark forest, first hand, and now she lives to fight it. She's at the house of the person she suspects the most. She lets herself in and leaves the door open behind her. "This is just like the book Harriet Slutter and the Firepants of Whacking Stump" Portia whispers to nobody in particular. "...where Harriet and her friends crash into the whacking stump with a flying PT Cruiser and end up finding a secret passage to the drooling hut, where Harriet finds the killer and saves the day!!" But the real evil spirit is one step ahead of her. And this won't end the way it did for Portia's hero, Harriet Slutter. The evil spirit sneaks in behind her... Portia curls up next to the resident of the home... ...and turns into a tree stump. "Mwhaaaaa haa haa haa har!" the evil entity laughs, turning the lights on. "I've found you!" "What's going on?" Gilbert Goat sits up in bed. But the killer has already swung its axe and removes Gilbert's head in one clean stroke. The killer jumps on the bed and chops the tree stump to bits! And that is the end of Gibson Goat (Pandora) and Portia Poodle (CorneliusMurdock). In the morning...wait, it's still dark. Oh, that's right. One more. Ernie Elephant (JimButcher) wanders, somewhat dazed, into the Village Square. He ignores the xylophone carnage and instead covers himself with a very fine powder. Then he picks up a torch and... Whoomp! goes up in flames. Ernie Elephant (JimButcher) burns to death quickly, leaving behind a charred corpse in the Village Square. The specter of Felix Fox shows up and gleefully wraps up Ernie's soul. Felix disappears in a burst of phantom flames, leaving behind an odd green flask. A dark figure sneaks out and snatches up the flask before running off into the night. Ralphy Rabbit's body, conveniently, washes up onto the river bank. The members of the Village are devastated to find more death in the Village Square in the morning. Edgar Elephant has brought what's left of his beautiful Portia Poodle while Cameron Crocodile and Gilda Goat carry the remains of their brother and friend Gibson Goat. Marcellus the Monk is ready to identify the dead with his staff. Portia Poodle (CorneliusMurdock) and Gibson Goat (Pandora) were both innocent Villagers. Becka Bulldog (Rick) was an innocent Villager. Ernie Elephant (JimButcher) was an innocent Villager. Last night's lynch, Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) was an innocent Villager. And on the 26th picture, the Village stands in shocked silence (some masking sheer glee!) at the body count of 5 innocent Villagers. Day Four has begun. You may not vote during the first 24 hours. Please note the new 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. All new conversations regarding the game will be deleted. You must play on things that effect your animal (natural predators, diet, etc.) in every post. You may need to do a little research. Feel free to expand on the information your find. Be creative. (You have the first 24 hours to practice. Penalties will not be incurred on posts before voting starts) EDIT: As stated on Day Two, these violations will incur one vote per penalty. I apologize for not updating each day's rules to reflect that until now. Sowwy. 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 (16) Booker Bear, Garbage Man, married to Becka Bulldog, played by Dragonator Brigit Bunny, Florist, First Lady of Winter Haven, married to Lazlo Lion, played by Sandy Cameron Crocodile, Carpenter, married to Gilda Goat, played by Rufus Casey Cat, Painter, married to Maurice Mouse, played by Scouty Edgar Elephant, Fisherman, married to Portia Poodle, played by WhiteFang Gilda Goat, Doctor, married to Cameron Crocodile, sister of Gibson Goat, played by Quarryman Gordon Gorilla, Lawman, played by Scubacarrot Heidi Hippo, Farmer, played by CallMePie Horace Horse, Blacksmith, played by iamded Lazlo Lion, Mayor of Winter Haven, married to Brigit Bunny, played by TinyPiesRUs Maurice Mouse, Dock Worker, married to Casey Cat, played by Cecilie Mindy Mouse, Accountant, married to Pancho Parrot, played by Professor Flitwick Pancho Parrot, Postman, married to Mindy Mouse, played by Zepher Pennie Pig, Schoolteacher, played by Eskallon Seamus Sheepdog, Taxidermist, married to Shawna Sheep, played by Dannylonglegs Shawna Sheep, Lawman, married to Seamus Sheepdog, played by Shadows The Deceased (10) 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 - unknown affiliation 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

Sleeping with a sprinkler on me makes it difficult to reach the REM stage... Three friends frolic in the moonlight outside Gibson's Tavern. Portia Poodle, Edgar Elephant and Cameron Cockodile have been through quite an ordeal together. They survived flesh-eating demons in Spring Haven, they can handle whatever the threat is this time. What is the threat anyway? Wyle E. Coyote and an axe murderer? Ha, whatever this is, it's nothing compared to Daxia and the Demon Legion. They sing a favorite song of theirs in the peaceful moonlight. "Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are?..." "Or would you rather be a sheep? A sheep is an animal that wanders away. The sheepdog stops her from going astray. She's slim and sexy and covered in wool. Her husband sees her and he starts to drool. If you like to be nibbled on when you're asleep, you could grow up to be a sheep. Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are?..." "...Or would you rather be a mouse? A mouse is an animal who works on the dock. His wife is a pussy that likes his cock. He thinks she wants to eat him and he's sort of right, Every night she tries to take a little bite. Have you ever seen a mouse make love to a cat? Could you even imagine that? Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are?..." " ...Or would you rather be a bear? A bear is an animal that's covered with hair. He wants to be waxed until his skin is bare. He likes for his wife to whip and cut, and shove a big wiener up his butt. If you like chili powder in your underwear, you could grow up to be a bear." Several friends join them outside for the final chorus. The night is cloudless, as usual, and the moon is full and bright. Lazlo Lion, Brigit Bunny, Horace Horse, Becka Bulldog, Booker Bear, Mindy Mouse and Pennie Pig were all together in Spring Haven. They grew up there and started a new life here in Winter Haven when their old village became too dangerous. It was hard to leave the village they loved so much, but they would always have each other... "Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? And be better off than you are? You could be swinging on a star..."

Cameron Cockodile and Portia Poodle are entertaining their spouses at Gibson Goat's Tavern. "That's my accordion!" Gibson Goat interrupts the festivities. "Give it back!" "It's not yours, it's mine!" Portia yells back. "You're crazy!" "You're the crazy one, bitch!" Gibson shouts. They are interrupted by a loud crunching and very flat musical notes and mashed-up chords. It's Gilda Goat, chewing on an accordion. "Gilda, where did you get that accordion?" Gilda's brother, Gibson, asks. "It was laying on the bar." Gilda pauses from her snack to answer. "You mean there's more than on accordion in the world?" Gibsons postulates. "And more than one person who knows how to play one?" Portia adds. "OK then," they agree. And the three continue playing fun music into the night. Watch that sage burning, Firuz! You'll set my underpants on fire!

"That was quite a difficult anagram, this time!" Firuz says, "You must be playing for something good if it was that difficult. Only two people solved it correctly. So let's move on to the bottles. I'm feeling creative so I've written a little poem for you all, to help you choose a bottle: Roses are blue, violets are green. Every color is mixed up, it seems. Do you know which vial contains the moonbeams? Don't forget to burn the sage at home! It wards off evil spirits..." The two people who answered the riddle correctly have 12 hours to choose a bottle from Firuz. For those who would like to know the correct solution is: "An evil presence resides in the dark recesses of the forest and our minds." Sorry...

"A creep desires a fourth freckled son amid rivers nests.

The Night Three puzzle phase 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 12 hours from the time of this post to solve the puzzle. Good luck and have fun!

Maybe I'll sleep in the yard with the sprinkler on me all night. final vote tally Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88): 16 votes (penalty, Zepher, Sandy, Quarryman, Rufus, TinyPiesRUs, Scouty, Shadows, CorneliusMurdock, Scubacarrot, Rick, WhiteFang, Professor Flitwick, iamded, CallMePie, dannylonglegs) Maurice Mouse (Cecilie): 1 vote (Pandora) Pennie Pig (Eskallon): 3 votes (JimButcher, Dragonator, badboytje88) Gordon Gorilla (Scubacarrot): 1 vote (penalty) Non-voters: 2 (Cecilie, Eskallon) Day Three has come to a close. With 16 votes, Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) will be lynched. The sun is setting on a long day for Winter Haven. The happy and adorable citizens are pleased with themselves for discussing suspicions all day and think they made a lot of progress there. However, they stuck with their original and greatest suspicion Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88) and are currently wheeling him to the Village Square in his own wheelbarrow. Firuz Fox is setting up some sage-burning torches in hopes to ward off evil spirits for the night. "Hello everyone," he says, noncommittally. "Why me?" Ralphy Rabbit hollars at the lynch mob, "I told you to forget all that Scummy stuff I said earlier! What's left?" "Well, you asked us not to kill you," Someone points out. "Yeah," Someone else agrees. "You told us not to lynch you just because you don't want to be lynched. That's pretty Scummy!" "I would like a peanut butter sandwich!" another person shouts. "Well, who here wants to be lynched?" Ralphy Rabbit asks. The lynch mob keeps their collective mouth shut. They know this is a trick question. "Nobody, huh?" Ralphy Rabbit asks, "Then shouldn't you all be lynched? If the only reason to lynch me is because I said I don't want to be lynched and none of you want to be lynched..." "We get it!" yet another someone answers, rolling their eyes. "Here Ralphy," Firuz hands him a mug. "Have some hot cocoa. It'll comfort and calm you." "Thank you," Ralphy says, drinking from the mug. "Um, Ralphy..." Ernie Elephant tries to interrupt but Ralphy has a bit more confidence now. "Listen all of you," Ralphy shouts. "I'm not Scum. But the only proof I have is that I don't want to be lynched. So just forget everything I've said and just let me live because I want..." The poison in Ralphy's cup takes effect quickly. He goes rigid and falls into the river. "My Ralphy! The love of my leeeew gross, he's in the water," Ernie Elephant stays high up on the river bank. "Um...bye sweetie! Love you! Miss you! Ew, look at all that water. Freaky." "Wow, what were the chances he would fall for the same trick?" someone asks. "I guess he really wasn't paying attention," Firuz answers. Ralphy's body floats along the river bank as the citizens of Winter Haven head to Gibson's Tavern to relieve the stress of killing friends... Day Three is now over. Please get your Night Actions in ASAP. As usual, you have 24 hours to get them to me. Late Night Actions will not be accepted.

Great, so what does any of this mean?

I downloaded the manual! That's a step in the right direction at least!

Eeep! I think my underpants have burnt up completely! Oh wait, I didn't wear any today. Mod note: If your vote is set, please feel free to get your Night Action in early. Otherwise, the deadline will be the usual 24 hours from the close of the day. Thank you.

Interlude In the early afternoon, the rain has stopped. Brigit Bunny picks weeds that popped up during the rain. Gilda Goat takes a break from her busy day to lend her husband, Cameron Cockodile, a hand in repairing the roof of the Village Hall. Gordon Goat is meeting them for lunch. Seamus Sheepdog is busy restoring Baxter's head. He thinks he might be off a bit on the scale. Meanwhile, Pennie Pig and Horace Horse take a late lunch break. "Something about this is making me uncomfortable," Cameron says. "Horace!" Brigit cries, "Are you eating my flowers?" "Um...no," Horace answers. Brigit Bunny turns back to her gardening only to find Gilda and Gibson Goat eating her bucket and watering can. "Hey!" Brigit Bunny cries, "Why are you eating my gardening tools?" "Oh, were these yours?" Gilda Goat asks. "Sorry," Gibson says, "You left them next to our lunch and they just look so tasty. Meh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!" Next, Brigit Bunny is stopping Seamus Sheepdog from chasing Pancho Parrot. "Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!!" barks Seamus. "Damn it!" Pancho yells after jumping in fright, "You know me, Seamus! You and your wife have had dinner at my house! Why do you always chase me when I'm carrying the mail?" "Instinct," Seamus answers proudly, then adds, "Woof!" Seamus proceeds to chew up Brigit's mail, growling and snarling. "Seamus!" Brigit cries...she cries a lot. "Why is everyone eating my stuff today? What next?" Snap! "Um...hi," Cameron says. "Sorry..." Are my pants aflame again? No, but for some reason, it feels like they're always on fire lately... vote tally Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88): 9 votes (penalty, Zepher, Sandy, Quarryman, Rufus, TinyPiesRUs, Scouty, Shadows, CorneliusMurdock, ) Maurice Mouse (Cecilie): 1 vote (Pandora) Pennie Pig (Eskallon): 2 votes (JimButcher, Dragonator)

Oh, I do believe my pants are on fire. Figuratively, not literally. Wait, is it literally? Oh. No. Good... I was worried there for a second. Mod note: Aha, I see you have been doing that. Subtle, yet acceptable. Penalty votes redacted. Sorry about that.

Oh no, my cape's on fire again!! Oh, phew. It was just the wind. vote tally Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88): 5 votes (penalty, Zepher, Sandy, Quarryman, Rufus) Maurice Mouse (Cecilie): 1 vote (Pandora) Ernie Elephant (JimButcher): 2 votes (penalty, penalty)

Do you guys smell something burning? My socks are on fire again, aren't they? Oh wait...I stopped wearing socks. vote tally Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88): 2 votes (penalty, Zepher) Maurice Mouse (Cecilie): 1 vote (Pandora)

Interlude It is late morning and the rain has driven everyone indoors. Firuz Fox has some customers at the Apothecary. "Do you have anything for Intermittent Disorganized Stress Syndrome With Delirium or IDSSWD?" Heidi Hippo asks. "I don't think I do," Firuz answers. "Hmmm, that's too bad," Heidi clicks her tongue. "I also worry I may have Striptocolophentitis. Do you have any lozenges for that?" "I think I'm out..." Firuz is beginning to suspect she is some kind of hippo-chondriac. "I was diagnosed once with Reactive Retarded Phobia Dysfunction With Incontinence," Heidi explains. "It means that I display explosive, emotional behavior and responses exacerbated by a clinically significant mental aptitude impairment during fearful episodes, combined with an inability to control my own bladder. Do you have any salves or ointments for that?" "I might..." Firuz looks around to see if there are any other customers he can focus on. Portia Poodle is in the Apothecary and loves the rustic and enigmatic interior. "This place reminds me of the book, Harriet Slutter and the Order of the Penis," Portia says to no one in particular. "Harriet finds herself in the dangerous Cockturn Alley after a mishap with the toilet tube. Lisa Drago is there and is trying to buy an evil bloated penis from an Odor Eater and sneaking it into Pigblisters School of Sorcery and Magicky-doings through an enchanted washing machine." Portia realizes she is talking to herself. "Hello?" she calls out, "Edgar?" Edgar Elephant, however, is upstairs, entranced, of course, with the chandelier... You may now vote. You have 48 hours to reach a conviction. Whoever has the most votes will win. Win? No, actually lose. They'll be lynched. I copied this from yesterday's interlude. Did anyone notice? That's so weird. Being lynched = winning! Don't forget to play on your personality quirk in every post. I would hate for someone to be lynched just because they don't follow this rule despite being fairly warned. vote tally Ralphy Rabbit (badboytje88): 1 vote (penalty*) * yes, you must continue to follow the rule at night. That's why the rules are re-posted. Sorry.

Mod note: Today's roleplaying rule has been updated: You must play on your personality quirk in every post. Some may be more difficult than others. Feel free to expand on the personality quirk you've been given. Be creative. (You have the first 24 hours to practice. Penalties will not be incurred on posts before voting starts) The penalty will be one vote per violation.

Sorry you had to leave us so early. I'll definitely miss you. You too, Tammo! You took your personality quirk very well. You were a lot of fun. Thanks for dedicating yourself to the roleplaying.

Day Three has been posted. I will update the rules as soon as the roleplay action is selected. For now, animal sounds are no longer required...at least for today.

Baxter Bulldog (Waterbrick Down) has been working tirelessly all night. After some drinks and dancing at Gibson's Tavern, there's still work to be done. "I wish I had a girl," Baxter sighs. "All the good bitches are in cross-species relationships. Isn't my tool impressive enough?" Tired and a bit sad, Baxter Bulldog presses on. His job is an important one. Sleep can wait. But, what's this? Someone has left a juicy chicken leg on a plate outside the Village Hall! "What's this?" Baxter says, "Someone has left a juicy chicken leg on a plate outside the Village Hall! I bet there's a juicy bone inside for me to chomp on when all the meat has been devoured!" Baxter Bulldog inspects the plate for weird spikey things... ...but finds an anvil instead. The dark figure chuckles at how clever the trap is before dashing off into the night, whistling Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Meanwhile, down the street, another dark figure does a little dance to The Benny Hill Show Theme. That's one wacky dark figure! In the morning, everyone averts their eyes from the awful death scene in the Village Square. Nobody can look at their friend in that gruesome state. After identifying Baxter by his overalls, not his face, Marcellus passes his staff over the deceased bulldog. Baxter Bulldog (Waterbrick Down) was a Villager. ...and the body of Carly Cow (Tamamono) is nowhere to be found! Just as everyone begins to discuss what has happened, something falls on Ernie Elephant's nose. "Water!" He cries, horrified. "Where has it come from?" Rain falls from the heavens. "It's my worst fear!" Ernie cries, rushing to Lazlo's side. "Hold me, Lazlo! I'm so terrified of water!" "Raindrops keep falling on my head," Lazlo sings, comfortingly. "That doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red," Brigit Bunny and Ralphy Rabbit join in. "Cryin's not for me," Everyone joins in, "'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'..." And the day's lynch discussion is put on hold as everyone sings and plays in the rain. And momentarily they all feel free...nothing's worryin' them... Day Three has begun. You may not vote during the first 24 hours. Please note the new 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. All new conversations regarding the game will be deleted. You must play on your personality quirk in every post. Some may be more difficult than others. Feel free to expand on the personality quirk you've been given. Be creative. (You have the first 24 hours to practice. Penalties will not be incurred on posts before voting starts) 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 (21) Becka Bulldog, Beautician, married to Booker Bear, played by Rick Booker Bear, Garbage Man, married to Becka Bulldog, played by Dragonator Brigit Bunny, Florist, First Lady of Winter Haven, married to Lazlo Lion, played by Sandy Cameron Crocodile, Carpenter, married to Gilda Goat, played by Rufus Casey Cat, Painter, married to Maurice Mouse, played by Scouty Edgar Elephant, Fisherman, married to Portia Poodle, played by WhiteFang Ernie Elephant, Dock Worker, married to Ralphy Rabbit, played by JimButcher Gibson Goat, Bartender, brother of Gilda Goat, played by Pandora Gilda Goat, Doctor, married to Cameron Crocodile, sister of Gibson Goat, played by Quarryman Gordon Gorilla, Lawman, played by Scubacarrot Heidi Hippo, Farmer, played by CallMePie Horace Horse, Blacksmith, played by iamded Lazlo Lion, Mayor of Winter Haven, married to Brigit Bunny, played by TinyPiesRUs Maurice Mouse, Dock Worker, married to Casey Cat, played by Cecilie Mindy Mouse, Accountant, married to Pancho Parrot, played by Professor Flitwick Pancho Parrot, Postman, married to Mindy Mouse, played by Zepher Pennie Pig, Schoolteacher, played by Eskallon Portia Poodle, Grocer, married to Edgar Elephant, played by CorneliusMurdock Ralphy Rabbit, Farmer, married to Ernie Elephant, played by badboytje88 Seamus Sheepdog, Taxidermist, married to Shawna Sheep, played by Dannylonglegs Shawna Sheep, Lawman, married to Seamus Sheepdog, played by Shadows The Deceased (5) 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 - unknown affiliation Baxter Bulldog, Mechanic, played by Waterbrick Down, murdered by anvil on Night Two - Villager

I should never set expectations for day-posting times. Sorry again for the delay. I had two parts-hunt mishaps. Night Actions are going out now. Day thread will be up...shortly...ish.

I fell asleep after work. Please allow 1.5 - 2 hours to complete the new day thread. Thank you.

Mod note: Day Three will begin in approximately 12 hours.

Puzzle Phase #2 "Good evening again," Firuz Fox addresses the village. "Here we are again, how exciting! Phase #2 of tonight's puzzle is a little more tricky than last night's. You must first guess a riddle, then tell me which two bottles (out of the three colored ones) you want me to mix into the empty jar (with the red lid). Unfortunately, you may only participate in Phase #2 if your Phase #1 answer was correct. If you answer the riddle correctly and mix the two correct bottles, you'll have a chance to win tonight's Action. Are you ready? Oh good. Here's the riddle: What's the next number in this sequence? 3 13 1113 3113 132113 1113122113 Best of luck and have fun!" To answer the puzzle, phase #2, please PM your answer to Hinckley and Foog using your role PM. Only answers in your role PM will be accepted and only people who answered Phase #1 correctly are eligible. Thank you.
