--

If you haven't received a PM, you play as a normal villager. If you have, you already know your role.

For clarification, all roles and allegiances were selected entirely at random. Again, I stress that the only reason I asked for people's game experience and forum activity is so that I could pick the best liaison out of the randomly selected group. It did not make them any more likely to have a special role.

Basic rules, for the new guys, somewhat plagiarised from the previous game oh-so long ago.

The game has two phases. ‘Night’, when all the nefarious (and perhaps some friendly) people perform their deeds, and ‘day’, the time when accusations fly and votes to lynch are made. After the daytime deadline, at 6, I’ll tally the votes, and someone will die. Probably. Mob justice is unpredictable.

After that, we’ll have the night phase, where all the parties that have a night-time action will send me their targets (or whatever else it is they do at night ;) ) and at about 10 o’clock, everything will be wrapped up and the results of that evening’s events will be posted. The night-time folks don’t have to wait till after 6 to send me their actions. As long as the relevant messages are sent sometime on that day I’ll accept them. It may be beneficial to know who is lynched that day, though, so I don’t recommend being hasty with your night-time antics if at all possible.

The villagers win when all the baddies are dead. Any players with exceptions to this victory rule will have been informed via PM. Some victories may not be mutually exclusive.

Feel free to lie, to deceive, to claim roles (truthfully or not), but one thing IS prohibited: Do not quote (or attempt to quote) anything from a PM I have sent you about your role. Assume that those PMs were never sent, and that you simply ‘knew’ what role you had to play. Everything else is fair game.

Finally, private conversations amongst anyone BUT those on the ‘evil’ side are also strongly discouraged. There’s no way to enforce this, and it’s not truly game breaking, but know that the game is all about the interactions between players. Trading words and accusations in private lessens the information available that may help your side. For all intents and purposes, it is considered cheating.


The time schedule's going to be a little different from last time. Daytime activities (votes to lynch, etc), will run till 6. This is a strict deadline, for everyone's sake. I'll make the summary post at around 7, or as close to 7 as possible. Night-time activities have their deadline at 9, also strict, though everyone with night-time activities will have been notified of this in their role PM too. The night-summary post will probably happen at around 10. Any time before the deadline is acceptable for the action to be considered, though, again, night-time folks will probably want to see the results of the daytime activities if at all possible.

The game will start when I make the opening post, probably around midnight. All relevant information will be provided in story posts. Everything else is a secret. Unless someone gives it away. Did I say there was a secret? There's no secret.

Good luck, play fair. It's lynchtiemz.

Corpse discovered in woods – cult activity suspected
NAGIA – A corpse of a 32 year old man was discovered in the Nagian woods early this morning by a young boy walking his dog.
The body was found in an artificial clearing that had been adorned with a number of standing stones. The man was bound and had his throat cleanly slit. Preliminary investigations suggested that he had bled to death where he lay, on a large flat stone that stood in the middle of the clearing.

Said sheriff Raktim, “we urge the populous not to panic. We have our highly trained detective on the job to investigate this horrible event.”

There are numerous cults known to operate in and around the Nagian woods. Most are benevolent, but many have shown hostile behaviour towards critics of their faith.

Raktim assures, “we’re looking into all possibilities, including the numerous cults in the area. At the moment, I’m afraid I cannot offer more information. We can, however, assure everyone that all our professionals are on alert for any clues that may lead to the apprehension of the person responsible.”

The Nagian authorities also strongly discouraged any people with thoughts of taking the matter into their own hands. “I am aware that there is much distrust among the populace when it comes to matters involving these cults. Our teams are working hard to uncover the truth behind this grisly event, and any civilians attempting to help will likely only impede our investigations.”

Nagia Times has also been informed that Nagia Clinic has seen increased activity, seemingly in preparation for a high volume of clientele. We could not reach the owner for comment.

Final notes. When you cast your vote, please bold the name of the person you're voting for. If you don't, I won't count it. Please also do not edit your posts, especially not to include votes, it'll just make it more likely that I'll miss it. It's okay to double post for this. The moderators will understand.

You cannot change your vote once you have made it. Choose carefully.

EDIT: And one more thing. In addition to pointing out that PMing amongst people who have not specifically been granted the ability is considered cheating, the same is also true for dead players who continue to communicate with their team. Dead players are welcome to comment in this thread, as are people who aren't playing the game. In this case, however, I'd like all players who are not currently involved in the game to clearly mark as such in their posts; writing all in italics should suffice.

The game will take a break on weekends. Votes and nightly activity will happen Monday through Thursday only. Friday is reserved for something related, also requiring everyone's participation, but no lynchings or night-time activity will occur on Fridays.

You have until 6 tomorrow. Go-go gadget voting!

[Garson007]

We have our highly trained detective on the job
Uh. I don't think the sheriff realizes how heinous a crime this is. Cult killings? What? Come on. If this is not some sensationalist squabbling of a professional journalist, then I demand extra detectives being assigned to the case immediately.

A lone detective, really? Really?! I really can't believe this! I feel that the quality of the public service establishments in this day and age is inadequately funded and administrated, at best. It is time that we, as a people, stand together against these cult worshipers. It is time that we drive them from our homes, our streets, our town! Who is with me? Who will fight for our protection and freedom from these religious thugs?

[Drakus]

Yeah , I inquired about more detectives at the police station. I was told that this detective is the best and that there will be no more assigned to this case. I was also told that none of us will be allowed out of town. So for now we'll have to sit tight until this case gets solved. :-/

[Wight]

Hmph!

That limp-wristed detective can't solve ****! I'm with Mr Garson on this matter. We must unite!

[nukehead]

Now now guys, let us not be too hasty. I do recall that there was a mention of 'benevolent cults' too. I would consider leaving the good detective to sleuth out a little more information at this stage...

Then again, Garson and Wight seem all too eager for blood shed, hmmm...

Interesting indeed...

[Zoop]

I agree, somebody was murdered right here, in our midst, and we leave it to a lone detective to take care of it? We've known of cult activity in the area for a while now, but this is taking it a step too far. I say we rise up and stand united! Nobody will be safe until the killer(s) is brought to account for his/her/their crimes!

[Chevron]

I'll pray that our detective gets wisdom from God and discovers the true evildoer.

[Sir PaniCore]

They settle for a single detective when our innocent families are at risk?!?!?

If there is justice to be found we must find it ourselves!!

[hawk]

What evil has befallen upon us?

We must rise up and show our disgust! The killer must be found!

[Toxxyc]

Then again, Garson and Wight seem all too eager for blood shed, hmmm...

An eye for an eye, I say. I agree with them. Nothing less than an unfair trial and a quick death will suffice for the killer.

[Grimnebulin]

What is of most concern, if the town gossip is to be believed, is that this detective has apparently consulted with psychics in previous cases! How can we hope for a swift conclusion to this tragedy, if the man meant to deliver justice, is himself consorting with devilry!

I charge you brothers and sisters, that if and when the moment arises, let us not be afraid to do what must be done. We are all the last bastion of righteousness keeping evil at bay!

[Garson007]

Then again, Garson and Wight seem all too eager for blood shed, hmmm...
What bloodshed? I'm just in the interests of preserving our good secular society.

I've though about it and I think we need to hold daily popularity votes to see who must be interrogated. Yes, I'm being in instigator. I however know that you all will vote! Because, like me, you are concerned citizens that care for the prosperity of this village of ours.

[Garson007]

What! What is the meaning of this?! I demand we find some answers. Psychics! What's next? Black magic! Black magic the lot!

[Toxxyc]

What! What is the meaning of this?! I demand we find some answers. Psychics! What's next? Black magic! Black magic the lot!

I wouldn't be surprised if the detective himself is the killer, or at least the mastermind behind the killing...

I demand swift injustice, as is the Mafia way!

[Grimnebulin]

When will they be releasing the identity of the deceased? This man no doubt had a family, a place of work; he was a part of this community. As such, I demand to know, so that we may take up his name to our cause.

Let him not be forgotten!

[Repline]

I am surrounded by a bunch of nincompoops.

My fellow Citizens, let not these cult-invested individuals lead you astray. Listen to reason. Remember passion conquers reason, and these people are trying to win you through words of passion.

All this talk about bloodshed and death has made me nauseous to the very core of my soul.



I've though about it and I think we need to hold daily popularity votes to see who must be interrogated. Yes, I'm being in instigator. I however know that you all will vote! Because, like me, you are concerned citizens that care for the prosperity of this village of ours.

How dare you assume to bring back the dark era of the Spanish Inquisition. Who do you think you are, the pope? Let us not fall into the darkness of this evil, sir, I beg you. Interrogation will bring nothing but an era of suspicion and opression.


An eye for an eye, I say. I agree with them. Nothing less than an unfair trial and a quick death will suffice for the killer.

An unfair trail? Where has our rights as citizens gone? You would have a person suffer the death penalty, through an unfair trail? Every person has a right to a fair trail, to clearly show his innocence or guilt. Let this be the basis for our "judgements" and not the other way around.

[Wight]

This aint the big city, folk around here don't take kindly to sympathizers such as yourself.

[Grimnebulin]

An unfair trail? Where has our rights as citizens gone? You would have a person suffer the death penalty, through an unfair trail? Every person has a right to a fair trail, to clearly show his innocence or guilt. Let this be the basis for our "judgements" and not the other way around.

Where are the rights of the deceased? Who will speak with his voice?

I would caution you all, be wary of this silver-tongued charmer. His calls for moderation are nothing other than thinly veiled slanders against us! He even accuses us of bringing back the Dark Ages!

I for one shall keep the sword of justice sharp, and at the ready.

[Repline]

Ha-ha. Your first mistake sir. I referred to Mr Garson007 there. Who exactly is this "US" you are talking about?

You mean your cult including yourself? Are you the leader, sir? There is no voice for the deceased because clearly YOU have silenced it.

[Grimnebulin]

You mean your cult including yourself? Are you the leader, sir? There is no voice for the deceased because clearly YOU have silenced it.

This, from the man expounding the virtues of hesitancy and leniency!

By the time your precious 'burden of proof' has been met, you will no doubt be long gone! I do not mistake you for the Devil, good sir, but you are quite clearly in league with him!

[Sir PaniCore]

Ha-ha. Your first mistake sir. I referred to Mr Garson007 there. Who exactly is this "US" you are talking about?

You mean your cult including yourself? Are you the leader, sir? There is no voice for the deceased because clearly YOU have silenced it.

You accuse without proof? This is clearly a tactic that the guilty will yield in fear of prosecution.

You sir are suspect in my eyes due to your trying to shift burden.

PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE!!
I clearly remember this Repline character staring at my chickens obviously planning to slaughter them in his devilry!!

[Repline]

This, from the man expounding the virtues of hesitancy and leniency!

By the time your precious 'burden of proof' has been met, you will no doubt be long gone! I do not mistake you for the Devil, good sir, but you are quite clearly in league with him!

An accusation of this magnitude comes easily to you sir. What? Will you now haul me off to a makeshift jail and torture me until I confess to a sin of your choosing?

I am but a plain and God-fearing citizen, sir, scared about what is currently transpiring within our fair town.

However sir, what I am really scared of is all the other citizens that have not voiced their opinions yet... what do they still have to hide.

[Grimnebulin]

I clearly remember this Repline character staring at my chickens obviously planning to slaughter them in his devilry!!

In Repline's defence, I've seen your chickens Sir PaniCore, and they may sound like chicken, but in my heart I know they are not. I understand the concept of a chicken that is not a chicken. Yours look like chicken, like most of our chickens. But these are no chicken. They are evil manifest!

[Repline]

You accuse without proof? This is clearly a tactic that the guilty will yield in fear of prosecution.

You sir are suspect in my eyes due to your trying to shift burden.
PEOPLE OF THE VILLAGE!!

No-offense sir but practice what you preach.

[Cleric]

People of this fine village, surely this infighting is getting us no-where. We find ourselves with no evidence of any sort, yet ready to place our fellow man in stocks. Let us rather err on the side of caution when it comes to something as precious as human life. We need to be better than those that have set these events in motion.

[Repline]

My good friend Cleric, truer words have not been spoken so far. I will have my eyes on these two, I feel it in my bones there is still numerous characters within our midst, with evil intent...


I've seen your chickens Sir PaniCore, and they may sound like chicken, but in my heart I know they are not. I understand the concept of a chicken that is not a chicken. Yours look like chicken, like most of our chickens. But these are no chicken. They are evil manifest!

Are you sure sir, for I heard a Chime when I walked past these chickens the other day? Then again the chimes might have been set loose by Sir PaniCore within his home, during his druken stupor, what do you expect from the town drunk?

[Sir PaniCore]

In Repline's defence, I've seen your chickens Sir PaniCore, and they may sound like chicken, but in my heart I know they are not. I understand the concept of a chicken that is not a chicken. Yours look like chicken, like most of our chickens. But these are no chicken. They are evil manifest!

This man is obviously accusing me simply because I am his leading competitor in the chicken market. He wishes me damned in order to have sole control over the market.

I will say that if being absolutely delicious is evil, then yes my chickens are evil.

[nukehead]

Have you all gone mad!

How can we be talking about food when there has been one of our own slain? Or are these chickens truly of more sinister beginnings and malevolent intentions?

[Toxxyc]

I would caution you all, be wary of this silver-tongued charmer. His calls for moderation are nothing other than thinly veiled slanders against us! He even accuses us of bringing back the Dark Ages!

If it may prove that the ways of the Dark Ages bring justice to the perpetrator, then so be it! I mind not to answer savagery with savagery! Show the criminal no mercy, for you will receive none, as our brutally taken brother, husband and friend is proof of!

[nukehead]

This, from the man expounding the virtues of hesitancy and leniency!

By the time your precious 'burden of proof' has been met, you will no doubt be long gone! I do not mistake you for the Devil, good sir, but you are quite clearly in league with him!

Surely with regards to continued death there should be some doubt or are you aware of other actions? Speak good sir, for I am quite intrigued by your intentions.

[Zoop]

In our thirst for blood, are we not becoming akin to the very enemies we fear? It is frightening, nay, terrifying that one of us has been slaughtered and drained like a pig, right here in the very place we call home. But we must be careful, for the the devil himself walks hand-in-hand with vengeance and bloodlust, and we must not succumb to his mistresses.

[Repline]

This man is obviously accusing me simply because I am his leading competitor in the chicken market. He wishes me damned in order to have sole control over the market.

I will say that if being absolutely delicious is evil, then yes my chickens are evil.

Sir PaniCore, you yourself accuse me of:


I clearly remember this Repline character staring at my chickens obviously planning to slaughter them in his devilry!!

However you youself confirmed that your chickens


being absolutely delicious

How then can you blame me for staring at these marvels to do lessen the enfeebling sensation of a stomach growling?

BTW sir, Will your chickenhouse be open this afternoon irrespective of what has occured? As my stomach now rumbles from all this talk of food and chicken.

[Chippit]

Reminder to everyone: Make sure your PM boxes aren't full, so you can receive messages. This is important, so it bears saying twice.

Two: 7 and a half hours remain for the first vote. Time's a'tickin'

[Zoop]

Typical, somebody dies and all they're thinking 'boot is chickens and food.

[cr@zydude]

People of this fine village, surely this infighting is getting us no-where. We find ourselves with no evidence of any sort, yet ready to place our fellow man in stocks. Let us rather err on the side of caution when it comes to something as precious as human life. We need to be better than those that have set these events in motion.

Nay good sir. Our laws are clear, blood must get blood, and we must root out and kill this murderer. Your words sound as one of those involved in these crimes, and you seek to avoid us bringing this murderer to justice!

[GeometriX]

People of Nagia, you speak of chickens and pigs when there is a death on all of our hands. This black magic is causing us to think irrationally. We must focus on the task at hand, and as the mayor of this fine town I am ordering a town meeting to be held within the safe confines of our wondrous town church. Cleric Cleric will lead us with a prayer, and we can get down to the business of deciding who here is the demon that must be saved from their evil ways by the power of the noose.

We all know that it's Sir PaniCore anyway, his inability to stand up against Grimnebulin's vast chicken empire has turned him to the dark side.

[Cleric]

@Crazydude: How dare you!? Most look to me, a humble man of the cloth, for counsel in times of distress. But you look to me for a scapegoat. Search your soul before throwing such wild accusations around.

[Cleric]

Let us heed the mayors calls. To the church! May it's holy walls uncover the truth of this foulness.

[cr@zydude]

@Crazydude: How dare you!? Most look to me, a humble man of the cloth, for counsel in times of distress. But you look to me for a scapegoat. Search your soul before throwing such wild accusations around.

Your church performs rituals not disimilar to those which these cults do. How are we to know that the church itself is not behind this killing?

[Toxxyc]

Perhaps with intense prayer and true belief, we may demask the culprit once and for all, before we risk the lives of any more of our innocent civilians. After you, Cleric Cleric...

[Toxxyc]

Your church performs rituals not disimilar to those which these cults do. How are we to know that the church itself is not behind this killing?

The church will not kill in vain. If it had been indeed the church, they would mark the killing with the guilt of something - witchcraft perhaps, and let the world know that the death was for the good of the community!

[Repline]

Typical, somebody dies and all they're thinking 'boot is chickens and food.

I understand sir, having a weak stomach like yourself, around all this blood can damp the subtle aromas of freshly fried chicken. However at least now I know you are not the murderer, as your weak stomach will not allow you to do a deed as foul.

You know me mayor. Always behind you! Remember I voted for you :)

[Grimnebulin]

Let us heed the mayors calls. To the church! May it's holy walls uncover the truth of this foulness.

I believe, honorable Cleric, you mean fowlness....

[Zoop]

Yes, I align myself with cr@zydude. Rumors have long since been circulating that the grand Cleric had a spat with an unidentified tradesman because of his shipments of lower-grade chicken feed that was killing the market in the nearby towns. We do not know the identity of the murdered, so what if it is perhaps the trader, that has now been silenced to hide the origin of the chickenfeed?

Nay, I sense foulplay at hand.

[nukehead]

My good sir, Repline, what has had you up all night to build this ravenous hunger? Is it that cavorting with the occult and late night liaisons leave little room for food?

To the church!

[Repline]

Where is our investigator? Why has he not made himself available for questions?

I fear if he does not bring order to this rabble, we will soon have mob justice on our hands.

[cr@zydude]

The church will not kill in vain. If it had been indeed the church, they would mark the killing with the guilt of something - witchcraft perhaps, and let the world know that the death was for the good of the community!

And this is why we must know the dead man's identity. Was he a chicken salesman, a church member, a drug dealer?

[x-scon]

Man of the cloth?!? Aren't the ones we fear all men "of the cloth"? You would do anything for this "God" that you serve wouldn't you?
I say we take no chances! We burn them all!! Even this man here, Toxxycus, our town apothecary.


If it may prove that the ways of the Dark Ages bring justice to the perpetrator, then so be it! I mind not to answer savagery with savagery! Show the criminal no mercy, for you will receive none, as our brutally taken brother, husband and friend is proof of!

Did no one notice his words? This 'ere man knows more than he is saying!


Perhaps with intense prayer and true belief, we may demask the culprit once and for all, before we risk the lives of any more of our innocent civilians. After you, Cleric Cleric...

And now he agrees with everything the Cleric is spewing forth! I say we vote NOW and let justice be done!

[Toxxyc]

And this is why we must know the dead man's identity. Was he a chicken salesman, a church member, a drug dealer?

No, I believe him to be the elusive and little-known "PI" as described here:

I believe Zoopin has more to say, as he has clearly followed this man's history of movement. I would be appaled if he is not more informed than he would give himself credit for, for these rumors have yet to reach my ears...

[x-scon]

By the way, I'm not setting foot in that holy building of yours. Who knows what lurks inside?
The church is obviously a veil pulled over your eyes to cover up what happens when the sun sets on our fair town.
I've been warning you about them for years! You never listen to me!

[Zoop]

I believe Zoopin has more to say, as he has clearly followed this man's history of movement. I would be appaled if he is not more informed than he would give himself credit for, for these rumors have yet to reach my ears...

No offense intended, my dear sir Toxxyc, but perhaps if you did not hit the bottle as hard as you usually do at the tavern, your ears might be more receptive to the rumours? Nary a lass has not passed the rumour along after a few glasses of the good stuff.

[Grimnebulin]

Fellow citizens, as the man who has for so long been responsible for bringing plucked deliciousness into your homes, I ask for your understanding.

It is perhaps a hazard of my work that I do not fear treading upon egg shells. If I speak with passion, it is only because this tragedy has shaken me to the very core. I know that my tongue does oft over-extend itself, but I seek only to see the swiftness of Justice in action. My greatest fear is that this heinous act may not be isolated, that evil has taken hold of this community, and that darkness will peck at this village's very soul. We must not allow this to happen. Repline, your gastronomic betrayal aside, I do not wish you ill. Sir PaniCore, let us put aside our differences.

I will attend this town meeting, but only to ensure that upon it's conclusion, we will have action!

[GeometriX]

x-scon's mad ramblings are just another sad manifestation of the demonic forces that have swept through our once-peaceful town, but he says one thing true: we must vote to end the suffering for one poor, trapped soul.

I stand by my words: Sir PaniCore is the cultist most foul. Let us free him from his burdens of servitude to the dark prince.

Carpenter cr@zydude, would you begin contruction of the gallows?

[Wight]

I don't like this at all. My grandpappy warned us about letting in foreigners. Now, looke what has happened! If it wasn't for the Mayor's lenient attitude to ausl?nders, this tragedy would never have happened!

[Grimnebulin]

Surely with regards to continued death there should be some doubt or are you aware of other actions? Speak good sir, for I am quite intrigued by your intentions.

Yes, good Nuke, I have admittedly allowed my words to spill forth with little forethought. As you all know I am not a man of subtlety, the art of deception escapes me. I speak with my heart.

[Repline]

By the way, I'm not setting foot in that holy building of yours. Who knows what lurks inside?
The church is obviously a veil pulled over your eyes to cover up what happens when the sun sets on our fair town.
I've been warning you about them for years! You never listen to me!

Then I recommend you stand outside at the doors so no defiling occurs. Wether that be the church defiling your soul or you defiling the church, I do not know.

As much as I must admit, I do not believe sir Grimnebulin, has given himself over to some foul spirit, yet.

I will still ponder this conundrum and cast my vote soon.

[Toxxyc]

Carpenter cr@zydude, would you begin contruction of the gallows?

The true words of a wise man! It is becoming clear in this time of darkness why you were chosen as our leader, good sir!

Furthermore, does the name "x-scon" not lay on the verge of "ex-con" too much for us to label him as an innocent so soon...?

[Obi Two Kenobi]

A mayor of true greatness, my dear sir Geometrix. I will lend my services to our town carpenter and help with construction of the gallows. We must get rid of this evil that has manifested itself and return our town to its glorious state that is so widely known.

[Zoop]

A mayor of true greatness, my dear sir Geometrix. I will lend my services to our town carpenter and help with construction of the gallows. We must get rid of this evil that has manifested itself and return our town to its glorious state that is so widely known.

Even a fool knows that carpenter cr@zydude is as skilled a carpenter as any, and could construct the gallows with one eye been blinded. Are you perhaps trying to charm this little town of ours with your presumed good intent, so as to escape the suspicious gaze of our eyes?

[cr@zydude]

Carpenter cr@zydude, would you begin contruction of the gallows?

They have long since been completed good mayor. All that is left now is to indentify this foul demon.

[brazed]

There will be blood on all our hands if we don't stand together good people. Someone amongst us is a villain most foul. I trust very few of you right now, flinging around accusations brings us no closer to the truth. We need to trust in our sheriff, even if he does eat cabbage raw...ugh...A man who can stomach that though...could probably stomach anything...

Hmmm....

[Grimnebulin]

Even a fool knows that carpenter cr@zydude is as skilled a carpenter as any, and could construct the gallows with one eye been blinded. Are you perhaps trying to charm this little town of ours with your presumed good intent, so as to escape the suspicious gaze of our eyes?

Your observation is a perceptive one, good Zoop. I too find Obi's offer of assistance somewhat disingenuous.

That said, as long as you are not the one helping to construct the gallows, I will breathe a little easier. We all know that your skill with a mallett is, how should one say........lacking.

Which reminds me, do we know yet how the victim was killed? If he was bludgeoned, we can safely remove Zoop from the list of suspects.

[Obi Two Kenobi]

My dear sir Zoopin, every person in this town knows I am a long time, hard-working labourer by heart. Do not make such weak accusations.

[Chippit]

1 vote counted, 6 hours remain.

[Toxxyc]

My dear sir Zoopin, every person in this town knows I am a long time, hard-working labourer by heart. Do not make such weak accusations.

Had you been such a hard-working labourer, you'd have visited Execution Hill and seen that the gallows have been completed as said by cr@zydude. Your defense is hollow, sir, you'd better not dig your own hole deeper than it already is.

[Sir PaniCore]

x-scon's mad ramblings are just another sad manifestation of the demonic forces that have swept through our once-peaceful town, but he says one thing true: we must vote to end the suffering for one poor, trapped soul.

Carpenter cr@zydude, would you begin contruction of the gallows?

We must Remember that even the Mayor is not free of suspicion. He dares to accuse me, however, we must remember that The Mayor and I have had personel differences in the Past. I have on many times accused him of Corruption due to thefts from the city treasury, wealth that only the Mayor has access to!! The export of my chickens and the towns actual income do not match. The income is less than what it should be.

It would make sense that perhaps this money that the Mayor is pocketing is being Used to fund these animals, or cultists as you would call these abominations. I only Hope that the towns people can see through these rouses.

[Repline]

Your defense is hollow, sir, you'd better not dig your own hole deeper than it already is.

Many a true word spoken in jest I would say. You accuse Obi Two Kenobi, of foul deeds. Who has dug his "hole" thus far that he is now digging it even deeper? I ask you now sir do you have an agenda up your sleeve?

[Cleric]

I have communed with the almighty. My vote be not mine but his. On his behalf, I vote for Obi Two Kenobi be hanged. May you all heed the words of the father for justice..

[Obi Two Kenobi]

*Slaps Toxxyc firmly across the face* It makes me sad to hear this from you, respected fellow townsman, you try to put the evidence on me while I have seen you, many a night under the cover of darkness, returning to our village from the path leading to the woods.

[Grimnebulin]

Ah, I see that the MO is known. My apologies, I did not read those details initially. I have a fragile constitution when it comes to the gory details.

I know that may sound odd given my line of business, but you didn't assume that I handled the butchering did you? That's what I employ others for. I like to keep my hands clean of blood.

Let me also take this moment, since many of you have mentioned your pangs of hunger, to remind you that Grim's Chicken Shack will be running a special in conjunction with the Town meeting. Two succulent breasts and flagon of ale for 10 coppers. So remember, at Grim's Chicken Shack, it's Tits or GTFO!

[Toxxyc]

Many a true word spoken in jest I would say. You accuse Obi Two Kenobi, of foul deeds. Who has dug his "hole" thus far that he is now digging it even deeper? I ask you now sir do you have an agenda up your sleeve?

Yes, in fact I do. The agenda would be the same as any of us innocent civilians: To catch the criminal and to rid the world of his evil once and for all, be he Obi Two Kenobi, you, good sir Repline, Sir PaniCore or our cherished mayor, I care not, as long as justice is done! As Apothecary and a man focused toward healing and overall human well-being, I cannot function properly knowing that an evil such as this is risking the peace and quiet of our little hamlet.

[x-scon]

Once again you have ridiculed me and brushed aside my warnings as mad ramblings.
Don't you remember when I spoke up about the cattle that had gone missing? And look at our town now! We only deal in poultry these days! I could kill for a proper beef burger!
This would never have happened if the authorities had taken charge and actually done their jobs!

Why doesn't our Mayor step up, take charge and tell us who was assigned to investigate this matter?
I think he might be buying time to cover his tracks as he is in cahoots with the church in this! I bet he hasn't even appointed a new sheriff after what happened to the last one!

[Sir PaniCore]

Let me also take this moment, since many of you have mentioned your pangs of hunger, to remind you that Grim's Chicken Shack will be running a special in conjunction with the Town meeting.

This man names His establishment after Death himself, Is this not a clue to this devilry? I do not condemn you for this choice of words in the name but I do find it rather suspicious...

[Toxxyc]

*Slaps Toxxyc firmly across the face* It makes me sad to hear this from you, respected fellow townsman, you try to put the evidence on me while I have seen you, many a night under the cover of darkness, returning to our village from the path leading to the woods.

Accurate as this mention may be, the assumption is fortunately false. As Apothecary, many a healing plant and herb can only be found in the cool night breeze, exposed by the cool shine of a midnight moon. As such, I will not respond to the (although very hurting) slap, but I will turn the other cheek in acceptance that emotions run high and it's easy to lose oneself to the passion of justice.

*applies "midnight moonflower" lotion to the hurt cheek*

I'm almost out of lotion, I figure I shall return to the woods soon, with the next full moon, in fact. Care to string along, both as a mentioning that I do not accuse you of murdering (as then it would be stupid for me to take you along, as you can surely strike me down) as well as to show you my intentions are true?

[Grimnebulin]

I could kill for a proper beef burger!

Is that a confession, X-scon?

[Zoop]

We must Remember that even the Mayor is not free of suspicion. He dares to accuse me, however, we must remember that The Mayor and I have had personel differences in the Past.

You are quick to accuse Sir Panicore. Like one thief attempting to shift all the blame to his fellow, so that he can go back later and retrieve the spoils of their misdoings for himself, is it not? Or is it a mere coincidence that you seem to have access to the town books that we have laid nary an eye on?

[echo]

Is that a confession, X-scon?

It is. And he did. My fellow men, x-scon is our killer. Without a doubt. Either him or Sir PaniCore, for it was him that started this poultry business ramblings.

But fornicate that feces, I say hang x-scon.

[Grimnebulin]

This man names His establishment after Death himself, Is this not a clue to this devilry? I do not condemn you for this choice of words in the name but I do find it rather suspicious...

So now you would dishonour the memory of my father? My name was not of my choosing, but I take pride in the Grimnebulin heritage! How dare you, Sir Panicore! Is it not enough that we all know how much he loved your Pani Cottas? The humiliation!

Now you would sully my honour when I have reached out to you in goodwill?

[Toxxyc]

This man names His establishment after Death himself, Is this not a clue to this devilry? I do not condemn you for this choice of words in the name but I do find it rather suspicious...

The Grim Reaper be but an escort for Death, not Death itself. As such your argument only holds water if you are to deduct that this man is an accomplice and not the evildoer himself. Also, an established name such as Grim's Chicken Shack has been around for long before this type of evil has come across this land, and if he named his restaurant with the intention and plan to murder someone here, he'd have had a plan to get rid of the body as well. I smell the manure of cattle in more of your posts, thus my vote for Sir PaniCore stands.

[Grimnebulin]

I'm almost out of lotion, I figure I shall return to the woods soon, with the next full moon, in fact. Care to string along, both as a mentioning that I do not accuse you of murdering (as then it would be stupid for me to take you along, as you can surely strike me down) as well as to show you my intentions are true?

And yet now you would lure him into the night? Is it your intentions you will reveal to him, or a blade that glistens in the moonlight!

(uh, by the way, do you still have any stock of Milf's Elixir? To rectify...er.....problems of nightly 'withering')

[x-scon]

Is that a confession, X-scon?

My apologies. Such inappropriate words should not be spoken at times as dark as these.
It is interesting, yet expected, that you ignore everything else I have said. Are you one of them too, perhaps??


*edit*


But fornicate that feces

Hahaha! xD

Aye, I will, there is good merit in your statement.

[Grimnebulin]

My dear X-scon. If it is expected, then why make an issue out of it? In all honesty, I would rather not encourage you. I'm sick and tired of your veiled allegations that I was behind the Great Cattle Prestidigitation of '14. I do not deny that business improved as a result, but would you rather that I did not feed you at all? Besides, there is no evidence as to my involvement, as there is none for this murder.

It is widely known that Grimnebulin is no mere man of average intelligence. He has the wit and tongue of a slippery eel. Do not be taken in his by his silver words, fellow villagers. If any man were to talk his way out of a crime, it would be him. It is rumored that he can charm a snake without even so much as touching a flute.

[vii]

Almighty Creator! What has happened to our town. The place I awoke to this morning is not the loving town I went to sleep in last night.

Our town is under siege by these evil ones. Their blood lust knows no bounds. It seems that in my absence both X-scon and Sir Panicore have somehow incriminated themselves. I only reviewed the evidence quickly, but it would seem that one is merely a suspect for speaking out against our beloved mayor and the other(from what I could gather) was seen eating a burger made of human beef.

These two face quite damning evidence, yet I know not who to accuse for fear of sending a good man to death for a misunderstanding.

[Toxxyc]

And yet now you would lure him into the night? Is it your intentions you will reveal to him, or a blade that glistens in the moonlight!

(uh, by the way, do you still have any stock of Milf's Elixir? To rectify...er.....problems of nightly 'withering')

Lure him I would not, thus the public invitation. Any is welcome to join, and as you are in dire need of some "love potion", you are welcome to tag along. Although I have a significant stockpile of the Erectus plant, I'm willing to point one out to you in the moonlight. Daytime capturing of the plant looks something akin to this:
http://i51.tinypic.com/j94jms.jpg
But at night time is turns bright red and has the tendency to flower at the touch.

Want to witness this natural wonder?

[Grimnebulin]

Aye, I will, there is good merit in your statement.

Hmmmm......Obi responds in the positive to an invitation from Toxxyc to take an innocent stroll at night?

So that the two of you can continue to apply the lotion of dischord to the pimply cheek that is our beloved town? I sense the beginnings of mischief here!

[Grimnebulin]

Oh Zoop, how you flatter to deceive!

I am but a simple man of simple tastes, my only ambition is to make the tasiest chicken known to man! As for the incident with the snake, I was only investigating alternatives during the Great Chicken Depression of '11.

[Grimnebulin]

These two face quite damning evidence, yet I know not who to accuse for fear of sending a good man to death for a misunderstanding.

I believe this is known as the Phelps Dilemma....

[x-scon]

My dear X-scon. If it is expected, then why make an issue out of it? In all honesty, I would rather not encourage you. I'm sick and tired of your veiled allegations that I was behind the Great Cattle Prestidigitation of '14. I do not deny that business improved as a result, but would you rather that I did not feed you at all? Besides, there is no evidence as to my involvement, as there is none for this murder.

If you shared my fears for what lies ahead for our town you would have focussed on what was truly important. Yet you brush aside any incriminating accusations and instead focus on an innocent man's love for beef!

Our towns troubles run deep! It seems that the dark magic has it's clutches in all our most important faculties! It is time we rid our town of this evil! We start with the head, the Mayors office! Then the Heart, the Church! Then the Body, the chicken industry! And finally, the Poisoned Blood that pumps through it all, the Apothecary!

I vote for our Scheming Mayor, Geometrix!

[pArkEr]

My friends.

It saddens me to no end to hear of the infighting that has occurred among our trusted brethren. To accuse, nay, to even think one of our own could be capable of such a terrible deed, gives me a damning account of our populace. Yet, one among us must be held responsible, for, as brother Toxxyc has so rightly said, an eye for an eye.

However, I could not help but notice something, something which brings me great suspicion...

Like most nights, I was patrolling the streets of the village, on the lookout for any evil or wrongdoings. Having just devoured a bucket of Grimnebullin's famous chicken-on-a-popsicle, I admit to have let my guard down slightly. This did not however prevent me from seeing a most telling sight: that of a young woman sneaking out of the quarters of Mayor Geometrix! A woman that, dare I say, looked suspiciously similar to the recently deceased man's wife...

Make of that what you will, my friends.

[Grimnebulin]

A woman that, dare I say, looked suspiciously similar to the recently deceased man's wife...

Now this is a man with the gift of Truth! This is precisely why I have waited before accusing anyone. Mayor Geometrix, I demand that you explain yourself! Do not forget it was the League of Extraordinary Chickenmen that funded your last campaign. I am certain Sir PaniCore and the other members will join me in reminding you that like sands through the hourglass, this funding will not last forever......

[01DT!m3r]

Using my powers of deduction,differential calculus and divination,I have decided that I shall vote for our mayor...that,and we need a majority to lynch someone and at the moment thats not happening:p .

Vote: Geometrix

[T_Kill3r]

Fellow townspeople and respected elders, 'tis I, the boy who came across the hideous scene! I can unfortunately not report on the identity of the man as his face was as moist with blood as my eyes with tears.

Before I stumbled across the body I had a chance to look at this clearing, and its true that it was prepared by the hands of men and not our Creator! Where is the wood of the fallen trees, I ask you! Let us turn to our carpenter, Cr@zydude. 'Tis in fair time that you completed the gallows, and I did not see thy labourers in the woods this morning...

[Chippit]

6 votes counted, 4 and a half hours remain.

Currently tied; if votes are still tied at the end of the day, the player who had the first vote against him will be lynched. In this case, that would be Sir PaniCore.

[Cleric]

Brothers. I had a vision that terrified me. It was one that spoke of a great collective of wrong-doers. They gathered in shadows, and misdirected those who would shine a light upon them. They held a cursed dagger on high, bringing it down upon a helpless chicken. I awoke from my vision sweating, and knew that my father had spoken.

We have been treating this as if just one person was responsible. We must be vigilant of those who have shown secretive ties with others in our village.

I am but a normal villager of great faith, and I implore you to heed these warnings.

[Grimnebulin]

Brothers. I had a vision that terrified me.

I am by no means an expert in this newfangled artistry of diagnosing the mind (psychiatry, I think they're calling it), but it would seem to me that a mind wracked with guilt is capable of inventing 'visions' such as these.

At least I provide the townsfolk with a tangible reward for their money. What does the church give to balance out your constant Sunday morning requests for greater levels of tithing? Stop speaking in riddles! Out with it!

[GeometriX]

This madness has stricken you poor, depraved townspeople more so than anyone could imagine. It truly breaks my heart to see your votes cast against me when I merely attempted to shelter you from the storm of demonic activity. Your wild rumours are borne of your own madness and jealousy, especially pArkEr's sordid attempt to blacken my name with tales of infidelity to my own wife when it is well known that he takes his fancy with boys half his age.

This day will bring darkness to this town should you string me up like a common criminal. Without leadership we are nothing but the headless chickens that once brought prosperity to this town.

[Sir PaniCore]

So now you would dishonour the memory of my father? My name was not of my choosing, but I take pride in the Grimnebulin heritage! How dare you, Sir Panicore! Is it not enough that we all know how much he loved your Pani Cottas? The humiliation!

Now you would sully my honour when I have reached out to you in goodwill?

I shall sully all Honour until the killer is caught for Honour comes second to justice. I Will accuse everyone as that will be the only way to get answers. Once these Killers have been caught I shall rectify my mistakes and do everything in my power to apologise and appease to those I have Wronged, Even if it means I must give up my chickens but that will have to wait until this previous Wrong has been rectified. If you are innocent you may take from my honour until I have none left.


Now this is a man with the gift of Truth! This is precisely why I have waited before accusing anyone. Mayor Geometrix, I demand that you explain yourself! Do not forget it was the League of Extraordinary Chickenmen that funded your last campaign. I am certain Sir PaniCore and the other members will join me in reminding you that like sands through the hourglass, this funding will not last forever......

The corruption seems to be piling up on our dear Mayor, first the Lost profit on the chicken exports of both I and Grimnebulin and now adultery, I think perhaps the political power has gone to our mayors head and he has allowed the devil to get a firm grip on his collar...

[Cleric]

Your poultry accusations cast suspicion only on yourself.

[Grimnebulin]

This day will bring darkness to this town should you string me up like a common criminal. Without leadership we are nothing but the headless chickens that once brought prosperity to this town.

One can certainly see that the art of deflection is one you seem to have mastered, dear mayor. Do not think to distract us using poor pArkEr. He has been patrolling these streets for 40 years, I would think these 'boys' half his age are more than capable of making their own choices. His predilections aside, he has been a faithful and resolute servant of the Nagian Watch. The fact that you would make a scapegoat of him only proves your desperation!

Though what you are so desperate to conceal, I am not yet sure. I am not yet convinced it is murder.

[Grimnebulin]

Your paltry accusations cast suspicion only on yourself.

Again, I think you mean poultry...

[Obi Two Kenobi]

During my lunchtime, I had a quiet time to decide on my suspicions as to who brought this tragedy to out great village.

Vote: Sir PaniCore

[Toxxyc]

Though what you are so desperate to conceal, I am not yet sure. I am not yet convinced it is murder.

Whilst he may have been caught in the act of adultery, I believe I will have to do an examination on the wife of the deceased to deduct if she and the mayor have in fact been adulterous. If she is to be found sexually unharmed, the mayor may have more to hide. If not, then we may get him to confess to his crimes via the eyewitness reports of our trusty guard, pArkEr. Where can we find the newly widowed? At home, grieving, or is she residing at the comforting residence of our now not-so-true mayor?

[GeometriX]

You defend the man's honour but cannot deny the fact that he warms your bed when those delicious chickens (and now you speak of goats!!) of yours are insufficient. His forty years of patrolling our streets has given him insight into every happening that has happened in our town. I would not be surprised to learn that between the sheets the two of you shared more than passion. What dark secrets does your unholy alliance hold?

Once again, our "trusty" mayor has resorted to simply shifting the blame rather than answer the controversies regarding him directly. What say you, mayor? What say you!?

[cr@zydude]

Let us turn to our carpenter, Cr@zydude. 'Tis in fair time that you completed the gallows, and I did not see thy labourers in the woods this morning...

My labourers have not been into the woods in days, and the wood used for the gallows comes from my reserve stocks. Any who know the manufacturing arts would know that newly fallen wood is not suitable for construction, it must first be cured. With such poor knowledge how then can we be sure of your statement that the clearing is man-made?

Whatever allegation you may attempt is baseless. What right minded man would build gallows form which he himself would be hanged, I ask of you?

[GeometriX]

I might shunt around the truth but at least it's honesty that I deal with. Slander has no place in this town and I will not honour it with a response - denial or otherwise.

[Drakus]

I hope I'm not making the wrong choice here.

My sexual preferences have no bearing on the events of last night, my good mayor. I laugh at your feeble attempts to deflect suspicion on me, the town guard, when I have served this town longer than you been making your nightly ventures to the local brewery! It seems this habit has had more effect on you than previously thought...

[Toxxyc]

I might shunt around the truth but at least it's honesty that I deal with. Slander has no place in this town and I will not honour it with a response - denial or otherwise.

My dear sir, when it is your life on the line, I cannot think it wise to let the townsfolk simply "think what they may" in an event such as this. Keeping quiet may be the catalyst driving the humble and peace-loving townsfolk into a flash mob, destroying, assaulting or even killing as they go. How about letting us know of your true intentions with the Widow, so we may remove you from our suspect list, should you be worthy to make the removal?

[Garson007]

It is as I've always said, cut off the head of a mutated chicken and all you have left is a mad headless chicken running around - the evil cleansed from its soul. Men, GeometriX is that head. Think about it. Did we have problems before he became mayor? Even if, and that's a big if, he is innocent it can still be said that he is inadequately suited towards the role, and that a new order needs to be established. Cult killings, inadequate public service delivery, brown water... How far must this city sink before we /force/ a reelection?

Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. Who was the first man to give another a death sentence? Yes, the mayor. It is time that we remove this obstacle, for proper freedom! Freedom! Free from mayors! Free from cults!

[cr@zydude]

While our mayors affair with the deceased's wife and corruption appear to blood on his hands, I must ask, what of the other villagers? We few cannot be the only ones concerned. Why then do others remain silent? Have the fled the town in fear or is this not an attempt to hide in plain sight by bringing forward no evidence?

[Garson007]

It is indeed most curious. They're just waiting for us to pick each other apart. Let that however rest for the next vote; we are still unsure of who has not arrived.

[Toxxyc]

Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. Who was the first man to give another a death sentence? Yes, the mayor. It is time that we remove this obstacle, for proper freedom! Freedom! Free from mayors! Free from cults!

And who will take the lead once the town has no leader anymore? Who will decide what is the right course of action, or the most practical way of approaching a serious situation? Who would be worthy of such a title? Be it you?

People, this man has listed his intended order of killing as he goes. He clearly cares not for finding the murderer, but instead he fights against the ruling party! I would not be amazed if he has a grudge against a governing body, but be it justified or not, a personal vendetta has no place in this case, as we may very well lose focus regarding the true killer! Or, he is the true killer and is simply (with aggressive action) removing any and all opposition he may encounter on his killing spree...

[Sir PaniCore]

Our Mayor is in Cahoots, he has taken an unholy relationship to a widow straight after her Husband has met his fate and is stealing from this town, Most likely to fund his demon cult.

Geometrix I only hope that you can make peace with god as you stand on the Gallows.


And who will take the lead once the town has no leader anymore? Who will decide what is the right course of action, or the most practical way of approaching a serious situation? Who would be worthy of such a title? Be it you?

Perhaps our politics has no need of a mayor but instead a council. Would it not be wiser to have our problems solved by many instead of by the one? Once this killer has been brought to justice we shall re-elect!

[Drakus]

I don't buy it. Hanging a guy because he couldn't keep his **** in his pants is a poor excuse.

[Garson007]

He clearly cares not for finding the murderer, but instead he fights against the ruling party!
And why not? We have no evidence to go on to find the killer, however we do have evidence regarding a greatly incompetent man! What would you rather do? Lynch someone at random, or someone who is a known deceitful, disgusting man?

[Repline]

Like most nights, I was patrolling the streets of the village, on the lookout for any evil or wrongdoings. Having just devoured a bucket of Grimnebullin's famous chicken-on-a-popsicle, I admit to have let my guard down slightly. This did not however prevent me from seeing a most telling sight: that of a young woman sneaking out of the quarters of Mayor Geometrix! A woman that, dare I say, looked suspiciously similar to the recently deceased man's wife...

Make of that what you will, my friends.

Citizens I implore you look to the evidence.

If it is indeed as Watchman pArkEr accuses, that the deceased wife was prowling with the mayor in his bed. (As evil as this adultery is) Then how could the Mayor also be the murderer can you not see this? pArkEr himself has just given the mayor an alibi. We are after all here to capture a murderer, not some adultrer.

[hawk]

It is indeed most curious. They're just waiting for us to pick each other apart. Let that however rest for the next vote; we are still unsure of who has not arrived.

Indeed! I feel we should rather cast our eyes to those who remain silent and motionless in the shadows!

[T_Kill3r]

Our once-noble Mayor has made no effort to bring peace and order among the citizens, and has passed rash judgement on all accords. If this is not a sign of guilt, then I am not a child of Nagia.
Geometrix, death to thee, heathen!

[Garson007]

It is interesting to note that both Echo and CyNiKiLL have been rather scarce in here today, although I have seen them running about outside. Clearly disinterested in our plight. In fact, Echo only came in here to cast an early vote - clearly signs of a stealth killer.

[echo]

Cahoots

Except for the killer that is x-scon I vote the word Cahoots as our word of the day. It makes me heart flutter and my pants tighter.

For Cahoots!

[Garson007]

Even stealth posting this man... I'd be worried, very worried.

[echo]

Even stealth posting this man... I'd be worried, very worried.

Well, the pub isn't going to run itself is it? Maybe you are the one that is in Cahoots?

[Toxxyc]

And why not? We have no evidence to go on to find the killer, however we do have evidence regarding a greatly incompetent man! What would you rather do? Lynch someone at random, or someone who is a known deceitful, disgusting man?

There is nothing random about it, my fellow countryman. All accused have shown something either sinister or crooked in their ways, but your agrument regarding a lynch is not based upon the evidence at hand, but rather on the bloodlust you have against the governing body.


It is interesting to note that both Echo and CyNiKiLL have been rather scarce in here today, although I have seen them running about outside. Clearly disinterested in our plight. In fact, Echo only came in here to cast an early vote - clearly signs of a stealth killer.

If it is indeed Echo, I'm sure we'll hear from him again...

Also, if handing out blame is to befall those who are absent, many in this village will be guilty of crime. Still, I am in agreement to hear the rest of the evidencial material and/or proof before I am to cast my next vote.

I will now retire for the afternoon, there are chores to be done, but I will return at a later time. I believe the cleric Cleric will keep the way to the church open so all may enter and witness the progress?

[vii]

I am leaning towards sending our mayor to the gallows, if not for murder, then for this horrid recession he has gotten us into. Those who are able to be elected as leader should under no circumstances be allowed to do so.

I am still unsure of this Sir Panicore fellow, what kind of person adds Sir to their own name? Is he somehow above us?

[Chippit]

Except for the killer that is x-scon I vote the word Cahoots as our word of the day. It makes me heart flutter and my pants tighter.

For Cahoots!

Bad command or file name.

[Garson007]

Well, the pub isn't going to run itself is it? Maybe you are the one that is in Cahoots?
Typical counter-accusation.

[pArkEr]

Citizens I implore you look to the evidence.

If it is indeed as Watchman pArkEr accuses, that the deceased wife was prowling with the mayor in his bed. (As evil as this adultery is) Then how could the Mayor also be the murderer can you not see this? pArkEr himself has just given the mayor an alibi. We are after all here to capture a murderer, not some adultrer.

I disagree. Having an affair with the deceased brother's wife gives him a motive to have the brother in question slaughtered, like a disobedient (yet tasty) chicken, courtesy of Sir Panicore's deli.

It is however possible that Mayor Geometrix simply ordered the deed, seeing as he is in a position of power. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of him being a member of one of the cults out of the question either. Something to ponder...

[Repline]

All this talking about cats in hoods are making me question you guys.

[nukehead]

What of the silent ones? I tried to implore that the detective be allowed to do his job yet a few too many people are quick to the knife. Yet with all of this commotion our beloved detective has not stepped forward with any further information including his own identity. Is this because his findings have brought to light a far more sinister plot and his fear is leading the way? Or is it that the mayor, Geometrix, is using all resources to clear his name?

I cannot put forth a vote under this hearsay, unless the silver-tongued beguiler, Grimnebulin has perhaps spun a web too close to his true desires of being the one and only chicken seller. In which case what other intentions would he pursue after this?

I also find it all too convenient that our own night watchman, under the employ of the state, has both accused the mayor and proven the mayor's innocence as if he was in bed with the deceased's wife, how could he kill the deceased? Also Mr. pArkEr the identity of the deceased is still unknown, what have you say? By both patrolling at night and being quite deceptive early on I would hazard to guess that pArkEr has a hidden agenda of murder behind him.

[Sir PaniCore]

I am still unsure of this Sir Panicore fellow, what kind of person adds Sir to their own name? Is he somehow above us?

My Father Gave me "Sir" as my first name because he thought it would garner respect and dignity for the "PaniCore" Family name but it has done quite the opposite actually. :/

[Grimnebulin]

You defend the man's honour but cannot deny the fact that he warms your bed when those delicious chickens (and now you speak of goats!!) of yours are insufficient. His forty years of patrolling our streets has given him insight into every happening that has happened in our town. I would not be surprised to learn that between the sheets the two of you shared more than passion. What dark secrets does your unholy alliance hold?

I have but one question for you: why would I need Milf's elixir if my passion, as you so eloquently put it, for pArkEr is rivaled only by the heat of the sun? The answer to that question is a confession. Not of murder, but of disillusionment. I hate my wife, you see. I loathe the very sensation of her presence. But I remain bound to my vows of marriage, and therefore to also bound (literally) to the marriage bed.

I am ashamed, yes, but my friendship with parkEr is purely platonic. (isn't that right my little parky pie?)

[Repline]

I also find it all too convenient that our own night watchman, under the employ of the state, has both accused the mayor and proven the mayor's innocence as if he was in bed with the deceased's wife, how could he kill the deceased? Also Mr. pArkEr the identity of the deceased is still unknown, what have you say? By both patrolling at night and being quite deceptive early on I would hazard to guess that pArkEr has a hidden agenda of murder behind him.

We might have had our differences mr nukehead, but I agree how does this pArkEr know who the deceased is?

[Drakus]

damn it! I knew I should've waited with my vote.

[Chainsaw]

Gentleman! I have returned from my business away and am most horrified to hear of these heinous acts that have been committed. In the many years I have lived in this peaceful town, I have never seen villainy this foul/fowl! And we fight among ourselves like this? We are no better than the villain! Why do we not wait for the investigator to make himself known and solve this mystery?

I have yet to seen any evidence of wrongdoing from anyone other than Sir PaniCore. Lest the investigator steps up to the plate, I fear we have no choice but to send him to the gallows!

[vii]

My Father Gave me "Sir" as my first name because he thought it would garner respect and dignity for the "PaniCore" Family name but it has done quite the opposite actually. :/

This is just too weak a story for me. I have to cast my vote in the direction of this Sir Panicore.

[pArkEr]

Being the nightwatchman, I am usually one of the first to hear of the latest events occurring in and around the village. When I heard the rumours of our brother's death, I was, quite simply, devastated. My implication of the mayor is based on the fact that I knew the woman that was making the sneaky-sneaky, and it corresponded with the rumours of the identity of the deceased man.

Show my fellow villagers no grace, no appreciation for the labour I have devoted to the upkeep of this fine village?!

At least my dear friend Grimmy recognizes what is true, and true my word is.

I cast my vote thus: Geometrix

[Chippit]

EDIT, eek, stop posting so fast!

15 votes counted, a little over 2 hours remaining.

Currently still tied 6 votes each between Sir PaniCore and GeometriX. Sir PaniCore takes the tie-breaker.

[Repline]

I am getting concerned by our citizen Cynikill whom has been keeping a very low profile. What say you sir?

[Zoop]

I am still undecided. While the mayor is certainly responsible for much heinuous activity in this town, other, more supsicious characters lurk about. I notice that Chevron has also remained remarkably silent the entire day. How many of those remaining silent are merely biding their time to decide which of us to topple in the last few minutes of the vote? Should we not ask them to come to the fore, and state their case?

[Drakus]

Well, we have the mayor's alibi. Sir Panicore, state your case man. Where were you last night?

[Chainsaw]

I am getting concerned by our citizen Cynikill whom has been keeping a very low profile. What say you sir?

Are you trying to divert our attention from yourself sir? Why else would you accuse someone purely for trying to stay out of this squabble?

[Grimnebulin]

Well, we have the mayor's alibi. Sir Panicore, state your case man. Where were you last night?

Brothers, I am growing deeply concerned with the weight we are assigning our Mayor's supposed alibi. Since when did evil keep a timetable? How are we to know he did not sneak out after the alleged nookie, and under cover of darkness give voice to his sinister intent?

I say again Mayor, be forthright with us! Your coyness makes it difficult for me to give you the benefit of doubt.

[Sir PaniCore]

Well, we have the mayor's alibi. Sir Panicore, state your case man. Where were you last night?

AS repline said:

Are you sure sir, for I heard a Chime when I walked past these chickens the other day? Then again the chimes might have been set loose by Sir PaniCore within his home, during his druken stupor, what do you expect from the town drunk?

I was in my home, Was pretty crocked after Diving into the Rum. Thats my Alibi and I have a witness. I was in a drunken stupor in my home and When I'm in that state I doubt I would even be able to kill a carrot.

[Garson007]

Are you trying to divert our attention from yourself sir? Why else would you accuse someone purely for trying to stay out of this squabble?
Defending a fellow culprit, are we? In fact, you've not voiced an opinion until a particular someone was slagged off, most interesting indeed. Edit: Ah, I see I'm mistaken. Most curious indeed, though.

[RayRay]

I was in my home, Was pretty crocked after Diving into the Rum. Thats my Alibi and I have a witness. I was in a drunken stupor in my home and When I'm in that state I doubt I would even be able to kill a carrot.

I call for a second witness!

[Sir PaniCore]

I call for a second witness!

You call for a second witness when our "Dear" mayor also only had a single witness?


I have yet to seen any evidence of wrongdoing from anyone other than Sir PaniCore. Lest the investigator steps up to the plate, I fear we have no choice but to send him to the gallows!

What wrong doing have I done besides speak out against the Mayor? You're blind loyalty blinds you to truth.

[hawk]

I call for a second witness!

Surely 1 witness should be enough to substantiate such an alibi?

What of those who remain silent on the matter? Those who have have dared not to show their faces in the town market on this day. What of them I say! Think of the dear innocent children brothers!

[Demikid]

I apologize for my tardiness my peers but as the town doctor I was called in to view the dead man's body with the detective and have examined it as long as I could to reach a most well informed decision and that is this: the wounds are quite deep and deadly most likely a physically capable man has performed this heinous act but at the same time the wounds are sloppy populating his body in numerous locations without any clear reason as to this, it may just be how the cultists perform this terrible act but I don't believe so in fact I believe it was not caused by any strange technique to kill him but in fact the terrible accuracy of someone in a drunken state and as such I declare Sir Panicore the culprit

[Chainsaw]

You call for a second witness when our "Dear" mayor also only had a single witness?

What wrong doing have I done besides speak out against the Mayor? You're blind loyalty blinds you to truth.

I do not doubt our Mayor's witness, but rather I am distrustful of Repline for he seems to be in cahoots with Grimnebulin! Are you three conspiring together? Are you three part of the sect or cult that have committed this atrocity? Until I see sufficient evidence to the contrary, I must remain vigilant about you three men!

[Repline]

Are you trying to divert our attention from yourself sir? Why else would you accuse someone purely for trying to stay out of this squabble?

I have gone through many a accusation today sir. However as I recall you just suddenly popped in here.

[RayRay]

I shall hold my vote until satisfactory, or influential, evidence is presented. The madness strikes even the sane!

[Chainsaw]

I have gone through many a accusation today sir. However as I recall you just suddenly popped in here.

As I said, I was out of town on business. I am sure someone would be able to confirm this, as I passed many people on my way back into town this afternoon.

[Repline]

I do not doubt our Mayor's witness, but rather I am distrustful of Repline for he seems to be in cahoots with Grimnebulin! Are you three conspiring together? Are you three part of the sect or cult that have committed this atrocity? Until I see sufficient evidence to the contrary, I must remain vigilant about you three men!

Your words are distasteful in the least. You, as those previously, once again bring up the Cat and the hoods. (cahoots) Is this your secret coded word to inform your 'brothers' in the sect to commit some nefarious deed? Cat slaughter ring a bell?

You insult me sir, when your own actions are as plain as day.

[nukehead]

As I said, I was out of town on business. I am sure someone would be able to confirm this, as I passed many people on my way back into town this afternoon.

Or would it be your other cultist brethren coming to your side? It should be noted that your sudden appearance was rather peculiar not to mention your supposed 'business'...

[Chainsaw]

Your words are distasteful in the least. You, as those previously, once again bring up the Cat and the hoods. (cahoots) Is this your secret coded word to inform your 'brothers' in the sect to commit some nefarious deed?

You insult me sir, when your own actions are as plain as day.

I am sorry sir, for I do not wish to hold a grudge against any man or woman of our fine town. If you could supply sufficient reasoning for your over-eagerness to defend sir panicore, I would drop all my distrust of you. I do rather fear that you will not be able to.

[Grimnebulin]

I do not doubt our Mayor's witness, but rather I am distrustful of Repline for he seems to be in cahoots with Grimnebulin! Are you three conspiring together? Are you three part of the sect or cult that have committed this atrocity? Until I see sufficient evidence to the contrary, I must remain vigilant about you three men!

You were out of town, and yet you claim knowledge of a conspiracy? What is your agenda, Mr Saw? And is it not plausible that you could have returned last night?

I would ask that Mayor GeometriX have the constabulary comb the outskirts of the town for signs of an impromptu camp. More specifically, for signs of that odorous tobacco Mr Saw is constantly puffing on from his infernal pipe!

[RayRay]

The town doctor, with medical profession has spoken his report of the deceased.

Death to the town drunk, Sir PaniCore!

[Obi Two Kenobi]

Aye, I saw brother Chainsaw this afternoon. He headed straight for the tavern, must have been thirsty after a long trip I presume..

[Sir PaniCore]

I apologize for my tardiness my peers but as the town doctor I was called in to view the dead man's body with the detective and have examined it as long as I could to reach a most well informed decision and that is this: the wounds are quite deep and deadly most likely a physically capable man has performed this heinous act but at the same time the wounds are sloppy populating his body in numerous locations without any clear reason as to this, it may just be how the cultists perform this terrible act but I don't believe so in fact I believe it was not caused by any strange technique to kill him but in fact the terrible accuracy of someone in a drunken state and as such I declare Sir Panicore the culprit

This Man is a Blatant Liar as he states that there were Numerous wounds on the Victim and that they were of terrible accuracy when the Detective clearly stated:


The body was found in an artificial clearing that had been adorned with a number of standing stones. The man was bound and had his throat cleanly slit. Preliminary investigations suggested that he had bled to death where he lay, on a large flat stone that stood in the middle of the clearing.


The Throat was cleanly slit, Cleanly. Obviously not the work of a Drunk and the Initial report only stated of one ritualistic wound where This apparent "Doctor" Describes the more than a single wound and describes it such as a bar fight. Demikid is obviously hiding something by coming out with such contradictry and obviously falsified evidence.

[Chainsaw]

You were out of town, and yet you claim knowledge of a conspiracy? What is your agenda, Mr Saw? And is it not plausible that you could have returned last night?

I would ask that Mayor GeometriX have the constabulary comb the outskirts of the town for signs of an impromptu camp. More specifically, for signs of that odorous tobacco Mr Saw is constantly puffing on from his infernal pipe!

I deny not that I was in town last night. I left early this morning and saw no person on my way out. When I returned this afternoon I was informed of the happenings last night and I began puzzling things out for myself.


Aye, I saw brother Chainsaw this afternoon. He headed straight for the tavern, must have been thirsty after a long trip I presume..

That I was. It is there I gained my knowledge of happenings past.

[T_Kill3r]

As I said, I was out of town on business. I am sure someone would be able to confirm this, as I passed many people on my way back into town this afternoon.

What is this business you had to attend to? Gathering more cult members?

[x-scon]

Why do people still accuse Sir PaniCore of being involved in this crime?
The only reason why he was suspected is because of his "Evil Chickens", which was clearly an accusation born of jealousy with no true evidence. And even if his chickens are possessed by other worldly creatures it doesn't make him guilty of anything!
These accusations toward him are clearly done so to mislead the good town's folk of Nagia and avert your thoughts from the true evil!

I urge you all to look toward the Mayor, Sir PaniCores competition in the chicken business, the Church and the health industry. Clearly they are all working together to incriminate an innocent man! With evidence based on what? A badly chosen name? "evil" chickens? Enjoying a drink once in a while? This is madness!!!

You surely can't let the truly dangerous people run amok while we eliminate each other?!?

[Repline]

I am sorry sir, for I do not wish to hold a grudge against any man or woman of our fine town. If you could supply sufficient reasoning for your over-eagerness to defend sir panicore, I would drop all my distrust of you. I do rather fear that you will not be able to.

Apparently your recent trip not only tired you but have fuzzled your brain. I am neither for nor again Sir Panicore, thus far.

He actually accused me of having some nefarious deed against his chickens - I ask you WTF?

[Grimnebulin]

I deny not that I was in town last night.

So you admit you have no alibi then? Most convenient that you were scarce this morning. Sit back and wait for the accusations to pile up against the others, eh? Eh!

[Cleric]

Brothers, sisters, calm yourselves. This is what the evil that murks amongst us desires. There is clearly something greater at play here, but a clear mind is needed. Let those who have held tongue have a chance to voice, and then let us pray for guidance.

[RayRay]

So you admit you have no alibi then? Most convenient that you were scarce this morning. Sit back and wait for the accusations to pile up against the others, eh? Eh!

Aye, I saw brother Chainsaw this afternoon. He headed straight for the tavern, must have been thirsty after a long trip I presume..


Have not false accusations!

[Repline]

pArkEr you will receive my vote.

I know my vote will not be enough to get you to the gallows, but by all that is holy I would rather cast my vote at you than see two innocent men hung.

Also as was said it was a clean cut, this means the person knew how to use a weapon. And you sir, as our 'nightwatchman' and 'peacekeeper' are a master of weapons are you not?

[Chainsaw]

What is this business you had to attend to? Gathering more cult members?

I attended a teaching facility of sorts.


So you admit you have no alibi then? Most convenient that you were scarce this morning. Sit back and wait for the accusations to pile up against the others, eh? Eh!

I do have an alibi. I was in the tavern for most of the night, making polite conversation with many a patron.

[Chippit]

18 votes counted. 1 hour remains.

Sir PaniCore leads with 8.

[echo]

I do have an alibi. I was in the tavern for most of the night, making polite conversation with many a patron.

I can vouch for the kind sir. He was indeed at my tavern, Cahoots, Boots and Fruits making a fool of himself in front of many a lady. But I have already giving my vote to the 'scon so I will refrain from any further bumbling. I will add though that as much as I adore our cleric Cleric, my ole pappy always said a man who doesn't drink is a man who can't be trusted. Just look at him trying to calm everyone down.

[Demikid]

You accuse me of falsified evidence when you yourself have published none other than your own untrue information! This detective I also find fault in, not only was he late to arrive but he came to the scene in a manner unfitting of his position. His clothes in rags and whiskey on his breath. I don't believe this man was a detective at all but rather a friend of Sir Panicore come to protect him. If the true detective could come forth and reveal himself to confirm this or if my suspicions are wrong then kindly resign as I do not wish a drunkard to be on our police force

Oh dear... By all that is holy, are they insinuating that someone that I have most possibly been in contact with be responsible for this terrible deed? Be he in fact a doctor, the list of suspect can only be short, for this hamlet of ours harbors very little with medical experience. It could also be a simple hunter, who, with his razor sharp knife, slit the throat of the victim in a single, powerful cut. This requires further investigating!

[pArkEr]

Repline, I ask thee, what possible reason could I have for such a monstrous deed? What would my motivation be to murder an innocent man, leaving a widow to mourn his death (albeit an unfaithful one).

I think it would be fair to ask you, yes YOU, of your actions of the previous night. What use are you to this town, other than one eager to fling out accusations?

I humblz request that the detective make himself known, so that progress be made in this investigation.

[Sir PaniCore]

Yes, because you totally need Formal training to notice more than a single wound or wether a cut is clean or not... I'm pretty sure even my Chickens can do that you fraud.

[.:Enigma:.]

After reading through this heated argument between our Mayor, Geometrix, and Sir PaniCore, I must say that Sir PaniCore's claimes of corruption against our mayor have disturbed me greatly.

Does Geometrix not have the most to gain out of getting rid of any enemies he has made in the past?

Therefore, my vote goes against our once honourable mayor: Geometrix

[Demikid]

Yes, because you totally need Formal training to notice more than a single wound or wether a cut is clean or not... I'm pretty sure even my Chickens can do that you fraud.

Of course, even a child can tell the difference between one and many if they had looked but the detective seemed to wish to stay away from the body such as a little girl would, if he had indeed looked at the body up close he would have seen the all the blood stains in the mans back and thus known even without a closer examination that the man had suffered many wounds. I will not deny that his throat was slit but not cleanly upon looking I found that it was not as clean a cut as it appeared but was actually slightly curvy in nature and contained small specks of brown which I would say is most likely rust

I have humbled myself previously and will do so again and therefore I admit I have no alibi of any sort.

[Chippit]

19 votes counted, 17 players still to vote. 30 minutes remain.

Sir PaniCore still leads with 8 votes versus 7 for GeometriX.

Then Present Us with this Body you have apparently so closely studied so we may all make a decision instead of forcing us to take the word of a fraudulent doctor.... Hmm?

[Grimnebulin]

I found that it was not as clean a cut as it appeared but was actually slightly curvy in nature and contained small specks of brown which I would say is most likely rust

At least we know the victim will rust in peace.

X-scon, I do believe your earlier slip was Freudian in nature, and your insistence that there is some sort of conspiracy between the more powerful members of this community is designed to conceal your debased nature, and the ghastly crime it has led to.

May you sway for your crimes!

[Demikid]

Then Present Us with this Body you have apparently so closely studied so we may all make a decision instead of forcing us to take the word of a fraudulent doctor.... Hmm?

Then go and see it for yourself, the morgue must have it by now and for what reason would I have to falsify this information? I do not believe everyone is so blind as to simply just take my word and see it as fact, even you said that a chicken could tell how many wounds a man has, I would be ridiculed for telling such an obvious lie

I've had enough of our conniving mayor. He has always tried to undermine and exploit our family's ancestral land.
Prepare yourself mayor!

[EndKreator]

Yes, I align myself with cr@zydude. Rumors have long since been circulating that the grand Cleric had a spat with an unidentified tradesman because of his shipments of lower-grade chicken feed that was killing the market in the nearby towns. We do not know the identity of the murdered, so what if it is perhaps the trader, that has now been silenced to hide the origin of the chickenfeed?

Nay, I sense foulplay at hand.

I say now , at no point during my tradings did I intend on harming the market of the nearby towns. I simply find the village of Nagia good for business , and thus , I now trade here.

[Sir PaniCore]

Then go and see it for yourself, the morgue must have it by now and for what reason would I have to falsify this information? I do not believe everyone is so blind as to simply just take my word and see it as fact, even you said that a chicken could tell how many wounds a man has, I would be ridiculed for telling such an obvious lie

.... This-this is not the right body...This man he-he never lived in this village... This is Mister Johnson, He used to sell me my chicken feed!!! He was from the next town over, the same one that Chainsaw had visited. The Doctor has switched the bodies!!! You Fraud what reason would you have to do this!!!

[Mikit0707]

My friends I must apologise for returning home so late, but the day's toils have been both long and arduous. I came as soon as I heard the ruckus.

I am bewildered by the vehement hatred shown for our Mayor; hatred spawned off the back of such baseless hearsay. Indeed, our reliable watchmen pArkEr claims that he saw somebody who only looked suspiciously like the deceased's wife. Surely a man cannot hang off mere suspicions?

[The Dash]

Whilst quietly observing from my humble fruit stand in the town square, i have heard many rumours and accusations a flying in our humble town, however i believe that Sir PaniCore is the nefarious culprit behind this heinous crime! And I say, how dare you townsfolk accuse our poor mayor, under whose economic policies i have been able to expand from not only selling tomatoes to all manner of red fruit!

[CyniKill]

While I may not have given my opinion on the matter thus far, I have lent my ear to the goings-on well. As a man who loves eating chicken, I wish not death upon either of our town's finest chicken farmers. My vote shall be for GeometriX.

[Mikit0707]

Sir PaniCore has been this day's rabble-rouser; he is the source of many the baseless accusations. He's also probably a witch. Let's burn and/or hang him!

[cr@zydude]

I vote for (b)demikid(/b) for that fake medical report.

[5h@un13]

This sort of activity is unacceptable. I hope that this detective is as good as they make him out to be. God help those responsible.

[Demikid]

.... This-this is not the right body...This man he-he never lived in this village... This is Mister Johnson, He used to sell me my chicken feed!!! He was from the next town over, the same one that Chainsaw had visited. The Doctor has switched the bodies!!! You Fraud what reason would you have to do this!!!

Then we must launch a search for the real body!! I will not have my good name slandered so, but this brings up another case! Someone else's life has been claimed! Is it the same culprit or another? Good people of my home town, we are being assailed by outside forces, and so we must band together now more than ever, first we should find out what has happened to this Mister Johnson, who will aid me in this endevour? I do not trust this drunkard we call a detective

[Chainsaw]

.... This-this is not the right body...This man he-he never lived in this village... This is Mister Johnson, He used to sell me my chicken feed!!! He was from the next town over, the same one that Chainsaw had visited. The Doctor has switched the bodies!!! You Fraud what reason would you have to do this!!!

I was in the city, far from the town you got your feed from! It is clear this man will stop at nothing to try and sully the name of innocent citizens! Lies and accusations most foul.

[Mic]

I may not have been here from the start, but I do say with confidence [or heard mentality] that I agree with what CyNiKilL said, GeometriX.

[Zoop]

Almost missed it, but I'm bending to peer pressure. Geometrix gets my vote, unfortunately.

[Ro$hi]

Geometrix

[GeometriX]

You guys suck :P

You're making a big mistake, by the way. I'd never do anything to harm this town.

[5h@un13]

Geometrix, I have to agree.

[Sir PaniCore]

Thank god you people came to your senses, thanks to this An innocent man can tend to his chickens while evil sways in the wind.

[EndKreator]

An fraudulent Doctor? I say Demikid

[01DT!m3r]

I believe it's 6 o'clock

[Grimnebulin]

Thank god you people came to your senses, thanks to this An innocent man can tend to his chickens while evil sways in the wind.

An innocent man can tend to his inferior chickens while evil sways in the wind.

Fixed that for you.

[Ro$hi]

Forgive me for my hasty vote, but I had to let my voice be heard before the 6 o' clock bell.

I have spent the day at the church, praying for wisdom from our good Lord. I was on my hands and knees, bowing before the cross, and with all my might I prayed.

Then I heard a whisper. It was as gentle as a summer breeze, but I heard it. "Geometrix" came the Lord's voice.

[Sir PaniCore]

An innocent man can tend to his inferior chickens while evil sways in the wind.

Fixed that for you.

I was going to propose a Merger between the 2 companies, but fine if you want to go that way....

[Ro$hi]

I see that the Lord's voice has spoken to the village people as well, delivering the same message he gave to me during my hour of need. You have all voted wisely. May the Lord's peace pass over this town this night.

[Toxxyc]

There will be no peace until the evildoer has been justly hung.

[Mic]

Now now people, think this through properly. You are going to need at least a dozen pitchforks and another dozen torches. And a good noose. So come down to Mic's shady shop for all your mob justice needs!

[vii]

I tell you, It is this so called Sir Panicore. He is evil to the core. Our Geometrix is merely a well to do zombie mayor fellow.

[RayRay]

Gather the townsfolk!

[nukehead]

I fear this mob has been too hasty...

[Sir PaniCore]

I tell you, It is this so called Sir Panicore. He is evil to the core. Our Geometrix is merely a well to do zombie mayor fellow.

Hey all I do is sit on the couch , getting drunk and throwing chicken feed out the window, how is that evil?

[Demikid]

It wounds me to see how quickly one passes judgement apon Doctors who's only role is to treat the sick and wounded. If you think carefully you would understand how for me to have falsified this evidence is just too great a task to perform, the family of the man would wish to see his body so for me to have swapped them would have served nothing. Analyzing a corpse is not as simple as writing a note to get a fat kid out of school ( a despicable act performed by my peers ) there is just no way for me to have done what you accuse me of

[Toxxyc]

Appropriate:

[Zoop]

LYNCH LYNCH LYNCH LYNCH!

[Obi Two Kenobi]

Dear townsfolk, in case Mic's store is out of stock, I will be happy to lend out me farm tools if the need arises.

[Grimnebulin]

I was going to propose a Merger between the 2 companies, but fine if you want to go that way....

(in hushed tones)

Ah, but Sir PaniCore, we have already been accused of being part of a greater nefarious force. I am forced to decry you in public, lest suspicions be furthered! I suggest we meet for drinks after the lynching. I've heard a good lynching works up a thirst.

[Sir PaniCore]

[x-scon]

There will be no peace until the evildoer has been justly hung.

You didn't even vote for him!
I stand by what I said earlier, you are just as guilty as the man that will meet his maker tonight!
If you can't even stand by what you have voted for, how can we believe anything you have said?
You shall be the next one to feel the fatal tug at your neck!

[Garson007]

Our Geometrix is merely a well to do zombie mayor fellow.
We will see in about an hour. I have a feeling we made the right choice.

[Ro$hi]

Now now people, think this through properly. You are going to need at least a dozen pitchforks and another dozen torches. And a good noose. So come down to Mic's shady shop for all your mob justice needs!

Perhaps it is from your store that an ungodly cult member purchased a murder weapon. If this be the case, I ask you to go to the priest and ask for absolution from your sinful business deal.

[Zoop]

Why is our lynch late?

[hawk]

Why is our lynch late?

Perhaps the hangman has trouble tying his noose?

[Obi Two Kenobi]

Zoop:


I'll make the summary post at around 7, or as close to 7 as possible.

[Chippit]

30 votes counted.

Geometrix - 13
Sir PaniCore - 10
Demikid -2
X-scon - 2
pArker - 2
Obi Two Kenobi - 1


The time display's a litte fuzzy on the forum, so I'm honestly not sure whether the last three or four votes were in time. I've counted them anyway, we'll see how game-changing the final bandwagon jumpers have been later, I'm sure. :P

If it matters, y'all can blame the quite useless '5 minutes ago' stuff.


Panic spreads as mob terrorises the streets

NAGIA ? A gathering of angry villagers today dragged up and brutally slew villager Geometrix in a vicious flurry of disorder.

The mob later proceeded to ransack the villager?s home, eventually burning it to the. A distraught member of the lynch mob later told Nagia Times, ?we didn?t find anything. We looked! We looked everywhere! We? we made a grave mistake.?

It is uncertain what the mob was hoping to find, or their justification for the arson.

The family of Geometrix is said to have fled the scene shortly before the arrival of the mob, but could not be located for comment.

Rumours suggest that there was some indecision as to their target, and that the unfortunate GeometriX was only selected due to the swaying presence of two last-minute arrivals on the scene. Villager Sir PaniCore was said to be a close second in line and was lucky to escape with his life.

Nagian authorities, now in disarray, have refused to issue a statement.

One innocent down. Waiting on night-phase actions, appropriate players have till 9. If I don't receive a PM by then I'll assume you're not taking action. Expect the post by ten.


Why is our lynch late?

It's not late. I did say I'll have the summary post up by 7. If anything, it's early! The 6 o'clock deadline allows me to prepare all necessary PMs and posts. I can't do it in advance because I don't know what's going to happen either ;)

[Zoop]

Poor old Geometrix. Humph. Serves him right for masquerading as someone he's not.

[Mic]

What a grave injustice. We should all be ashamed. The only council I have for this days misdoing is that my business made a profit and I managed to sneak out GeometriX's new fridge.

[hawk]

The townspeople should've listened to me!

The evil doer is one that lurks in the unseen in the shadows!

[Zoop]

I feel no need for shame. There is no shame in dying if the murderer is caught in the end. Geometrix should feel honored to have died for what could potentially have been a just cause.

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

[x-scon]

I don't feel bad for one second. He had it coming. His daily life was shrouded in mystery and wrongdoings.
If you recall the days events, I was the first to vote for our old Mayor's demise. If I had to recast my vote it would be exactly the same...

[RayRay]

Let us drink! Who is to be our new mayor? :s

[Ro$hi]

Be not fooled by this news report!

Read closely:


we didn’t find anything. We looked! We looked everywhere!


The family of Geometrix is said to have fled the scene shortly before the arrival of the mob, but could not be located for comment.

His family fled before the arrival of the mob? Perhaps they were fleeing with the evidence! Or perhaps they were his brothers and sisters in the cult!

Have faith, and remain vigilant, my dear people.

[Obi Two Kenobi]

I think we have voted enough for one day Mr Ray.

[RayRay]

True. Place it on the agenda.

If Geometrix is not to blame for the murder, then the murderer still breathes...are we safe tonight...

[Garson007]

Who is to be our new mayor? :s
Not me. Mayors seem to have a precedence for dying.

[pArkEr]

I... I have made a terrible mistake. An honest one, maybe, but an unfortunate one. I hope your mistress brought you much joy and sexy-time, dear ol' Geo.

[hawk]

I... I have made a terrible mistake. An honest one, maybe, but an unfortunate one. I hope your mistress brought you much joy and sexy-time, dear ol' Geo.

An honest mistake? Or a carefully crafted move?

Time will tell.

[Toxxyc]

You didn't even vote for him!
I stand by what I said earlier, you are just as guilty as the man that will meet his maker tonight!
If you can't even stand by what you have voted for, how can we believe anything you have said?

Thy have misunderstood my post. I know I didn't vote for our mayor, thus the post. I will have no peace in the village as long as the evildoer is hung, but as he is not hung, peace will not be had.

Oh, my dear mayor, have you but listened to me and confessed thou sins, the life essence wouldn't have flowed from your innocent corpse with such a bitter taste to all your voters... :'(

[Sir PaniCore]

This is definetly a great mistake, However, this would not have occured if our Mayor had been honest instead of fornicating and stealing from the town treasury. He only has himself to blame.

[Mic]

My shop will now accept anybody's bets on who the cult will be killing next. R10 a bet and the winner also gets the contents of GeometriX's fridge!

[Grimnebulin]

We may have had our disagreements, but I thought you only capable of deception, not murder. Let us drink tonight in remembrance of a man; a flawed one perhaps, but who amongst us is not without their own idiosyncrasies?

Tomorrow is a new day, and I believe like the rising sun, justice will shine bright upon us. Let its light reveal those who plotted against our dear Geo.

[cr@zydude]

Fools, fools all of you! Due to your rashness we have killed an innocent man. I am ashamed that my gallows were used to take the life of Geometrix. I maintain that Doctor Demikid is involved is there murders.

[Ro$hi]

Let us think for a moment:

The victim of this heinous crime was killed by a sharp weapon.

The skilled carpenter cr@zydude, is in possession of many a sharp saw, I should imagine.

The chicken farmers must also be in possession of sharp blades, and take much joy in slicing the necks of their chickens.

Good night, and God bless, townspeople. I must now go and sprinkle Holy water over my threshold, so that no demon may enter my house this night.

[hawk]

I am hearterned by that fact that by abstaining from today's mob vote, I myself have not contributed to the slaughter of an innocent citizen of our town!

Tonight I can rest easy.

[Garson007]

Clearly just a case of not trying to get on anybody's bad side. If you don't vote tomorrow, then we know why not.

[T_Kill3r]

Clearly just a case of not trying to get on anybody's bad side. If you don't vote tomorrow, then we know why not.

Alas, being on the wrong side of our deceased mayor can no longer yield any consequences.

[pArkEr]

Let us discontinue the wild accusations and discussions for today, dear brothers. Let us rest, and contemplate what has transpired. Tomorrow is another day.

[Wight]

So it was not the Mayor. I'm not saddened by his death but concerned that the killer still roams free.

My attention now rests on so called "doctor" Demikid. His appearance is shady to be sure.
