Okay, it's before midnight (well, it was when I started typing this) and we're ready to go. All accounts appear to be working fine, everyone has their details, and all accounts with roles should have PMs sitting in their mailbox. That is, all accounts with roles that know what their roles are. ;)

The rules are slightly different this time. The first major deviation is that everything happens at the same time now, instead of having separate day-night phases. Because of this, I'm extending all deadlines to 8pm, instead of the 6 we used before.

Secondly, the voting process is different. The players, as a group, will vote between two different types of actions. They can choose to detain a player, which will reveal their badguyness™ if they have any, interrupt any actions they might be performing during that turn, and remove their voting power for the next turn. If the player is NOT a BadGuy™, they will not be removed from the game.

Alternately, a player may elect to investigate a room instead. Rooms are visualised in the map (which will be updated as the game progress) in the next post.

After voting, the top two actions will both be performed simultaneously. Yes, good guys now get to do two things at once. A single player, however, still only has one vote.

Should the top two votes both be to detain a player, the next option will be picked, until there is at least one investigative action. You must investigate at least one area per turn.

Beyond that, the guidelines from the first game remain the same. No PMs between anyone who's not in a faction (you will know who you are), no changing of votes, and no anything that sounds like it might be cheating. Use your discretion! Actually, no, use my discretion. Safer that way!

...

Extra note: Posts made by both myself and Kharrak are considered canonical. You will also receive PMs from either one of us.

...

Gosh. This is complicated.

Okay! Let's go, first proper game post incoming! Find the conspiracy!

[Chippit]

The stone fa?ade of Hotel San Andreas is old, but homely, its silhouette bidding the wary (and weary, in many cases) stream of guests closer, the terrain itself – well kept with joyful animal topiaries and vast grassy lawns – welcoming them inside for a purpose still unknown.

Unknown, that is, to most of them. To them, it’s a well-earned holiday among interesting company.

They are greeted at the door by the hotel manager, at his side his assistant, jokingly referred to by the manager as his butler. “Welcome to Hotel San Andreas, my dearest friend,” he says to every person as they make their way inside, allowing the butler to direct them to the dining room for their complementary meal.

The trickle of guests slowly subsides, just as storm clouds are seen gathering to the south.

After an hour or two of jovial conversation and introductions, the manager addresses the 24 guests bathed in the artificial light pooling over the dinner table. During this time, the manager makes sure to mention, casually, to all guests to avoid the room on the south-western end of the hotel. It'll likely be locked at all times, he assured, but he stressed that nobody should spend too much time around the side of the hotel, in order to not interfere with the kitchen staff.

“Welcome, again! I’m delighted you all decided to host this grand event at our premises over this wonderful weekend.” After a glance out the nearest window, no longer admitting any sunlight in the gloom, he adds, “it’s most fortuitous that you all arrived when you did, it seems. You’ll all likely to be treated to our Californian hospitality, courtesy of nature itself. But ours first.”

At this, the hotel staff start to bring in the starter course, and the butler closes the drapes over the large arched windows, blocking out the dreary view. The aroma of fresh food washes into the room, and the guests happily trade comments over the exotic food and its presentation, ignoring the occasional lightning strike outside, and accompanied flickering lights.

Later, precisely as the large grandfather clock in the corner of the room struck four, the staff returned with the main course. As the first dishes were being laid out, a blinding flash and terrifying crack blasted through the air, and the room was suddenly plunged into. A few screams escaped from the started staff, and at least one dish crashed to the ground in the startled panic.
The manager’s voice rang out in the darkness, “keep calm everyone, it’s just a power outage. Our generators will kick in in a moment. This happens pretty often ar–“

He was interrupted by the booming of all the doors in the hotel slamming shut. A voice whose source and even accent is difficult to accurately discern echoes from the general direction of the hall, “you fools! You’ve walked straight into the clutches of hell. And as they say, you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”

The lights flicker back on, and a staff member runs out into the hall to check for the source of the voice. He trips and stumbles before he reaches the door, however. As everyone’s eyes once again adjusted to the light, the strewn body of one of the other staff members became visible, blood smeared across her chest.”

“Aimee!”

Time: 16:00

You have until midnight to find the murderer.

Some additional notes.

I urge everyone to be very careful about which accounts they use to post here. I foresee a few complications around this so make sure you're aware as to which account you're signed in with before posting. I suggest picking a visually different theme to what your normal account uses, so this is obvious to you at a glance and you don't make a mistake.

As before, please bold your votes. It should be fairly obvious as to whether you're voting for a person or a location, so you don't have to do anything special to distinguish between those two.

Here's hoping I haven't forgotten everything. It's tired, and I'm late. And that's a valid excuse for anything!

Good luck, everyone. I hope this works out...

[N. Nicks]

Oh bravo!

Most realistic indeed!

I've heard of these types of evenings before, and this comes as a most pleasant surprise! I was beginning to fear that the evening may be rather droll, as I can't say my fellow guests look at all interesting.

Will there be some sort of prize for figuring out who the 'murderer' is?

I must say, that fake blood is really most impressive.

What's that?

This isn't the dinner variety show?

That's not fake blood?

Oh..............soft thud

[U. Ulrich]

we have to find someone who likes the devil? or simply somoene who freaks out about him??? i dont like this. i dont like this at al.

[D. Dickinson]

Dr. D. Dickinson has ascertain that the fellow there is indeed dead. Not being a medical doctor however, it makes Dr. D. Dickinson quite uncertain if any of his observations are of any value.

Dr. D. Dickinson also notes that his name is seemingly there to be made fun of by a puerile forum board censor. Oh, grow up, you ruffian!

[F. Fogerty]

What evil has befallen us, I came her to spend some time with my bit in the side, but now I feel I would have been better off at home with my wife!

I demand that management sort this mess out immediately, or I want a full refund.

[W. Wakeman]

What is this madness? I demand an explanation!

[I. Iha]

Oh dear this is absolutely terrible! Who could have done this?
For those that I haven't been introduced to, I am Miss Illiana Iha.
I sure hope they can get those generators up and running soon, I feel very uncomfortable being stuck in the dark like this.
Has anyone contacted the authorities yet?

[J. Jackson]

Yo!! No need to be scyred of this punk ass moh-****er murderer because we gots J.Jackson in da house. J.Jackson grew up in da streets, THE STREETS MOH-****ERS!! yeyeah gonna mess this bitch up!!

[Chippit]

Some clarification too, since I forgot to make this clear. Players have got two actions, but you may only detain one player per turn. You may, however, perform two investigations.

[W. Wakeman]

Yo!! No need to be scyred of this punk ass moh-****er murderer because we gots J.Jackson in da house. J.Jackson grew up in da streets, THE STREETS MOH-****ERS!! yeyeah gonna mess this bitch up!!

Control yourself, man! There are women and children among us!

resting on a chair, having been partially revived with the aid of a glass of water

That voice, that voice is so familiar....

Fogerty? Flatulent Fogerty? Is that you?

My word, man! How long has it been?

What do you make of all this?

[L. Lennon]

Why, hello there. I'm sure we've before. Even in the dark you are quite dashing.
And no, I believe you still have to contact my authorities, my dear miss.

[I. Iha]

Why, hello there. I'm sure we've before. Even in the dark you are quite dashing.
And no, I believe you still have to contact my authorities, my dear miss.

Are you out of your mind?!? There has been a murder here, and this is all you can think of?
You've obviously had too much to drink, slurring your words and leaving others completely out of your sentences. I hope you can conduct yourself better by the time the police get here?

I'd be very suspicious of someone so unfazed by these events if I were the investigator. You better watch yourself, mister!

Forgive me Miss, I am as startled by the event as you are. All this excitement seems to have got to me.
I can assure you I am a gentleman of the utmost calibre, but as you say, I may have had one too many.

[R. Rose]

Oh Deary me! This eve has my heart in a bit of a flutter. Oh, pardon me, I have not introduced myself. I am Ms Rose and I was rather hoping this little holiday of mine would be considerably less intensive on my heart. Especially after the rather recent passing of my husband of 49 years. He just couldn't say no to a rare steak, bless his heart. I must say, this situation is rather grave and I wish he was here offering his protection. Oh, look at me babbling on about him again.

[K. Kilmister]

Oh great! Stuck in a hotel with an L.A. rapper, a fraudulent doctor and a person who can't tell fake blood from real blood -_- If it weren't for the chance of people getting killed I'd say I'm stuck in hell. Well, nothing to do but wait then. Manager! I would be pleased if I can switch to one of the luxury suites for no extra cost the body is starting to frighten me.

[L. Lennon]

If it weren't for the chance of people getting killed I'd say I'm stuck in hell.

You hold human life in such low regard? Is this entertain to you, Sir KILmister?

[H. Hendrix]

Maybe I was just feeling all nice and enthusiastic. Wait a minute! I can't take back on that 'cause it is a nice thought.
I didn't know it was anger until they told me that it was, you know, with the destruction and all that. I can't feel anything right now because there's a few things that's just happened. I just have to lay back and think about it all. Hmmm...

[K. Kilmister]

You hold human life in such low regard? Is this entertain to you, Sir KILmister?

Not to entertain no, for me this is just another of those 'situations'. Difference being that here we aren't dealing with assassins or conspirators. And thank you, the first compliment I've gotten about my nom de plume since I arrived in America.

[N. Nicks]

It would appear to me that this Hendrix fellow is in some kind of haze. Does anyone here know who on earth he is?

Yo! J.Jackson ain't no Rapper he be the worlds leading authority on and The greatest ballet dancer in the world. I also happened to be the entertainment for this weekend, and J.JACKSON still better get goddamned paid despite what's happened.

You think that just because J.Jackson speak like dis and is a black man he be a rapper?!?!?! Well you be a ***** assed racist then! You think you get a six pack like this as a rapper? Nah man this be a dancers body.

I'm terribly sorry Mr J Jackson. My initial assessment of you seems to have been incorrect. It must have been the baggy jeans and the fact that you carry a notebook everywhere writing down as you listen to beats on your ipod. Must be ballet related.

[A. Anderson]

It would appear to me that this Hendrix fellow is in some kind of haze. Does anyone here know who on earth he is?

Oh jolly good show there, old chap!

For the unacquainted, my name is Adam T. Anderson, and at this moment in time my pants are completely ****ted. I have a Missus waiting at home for me, and the day when I cannot see her radiant face is a day too soon. I demand answers!

[H. Hendrix]

I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out.


It would appear to me that this Hendrix fellow is in some kind of haze. Does anyone here know who on earth he is?
My goal is to be one with the music. I just dedicate my whole life to this art.

[P. Plant]

Oh, woe is me, woe is me! What misfortune hath befallen us? Barely had I admired the beautiful color of the lettuce upon which the shrimp was served when this lamentable occurrence darkens my mood. Even the ferns along the wall seem to droop in depression. Or maybe that's because they're dehydrated.

Dear manager, I'm afraid I must insist that they each get at least 150mm of water within the hour so they can retain their natural hue.

[J. Jackson]

I'm terribly sorry Mr J Jackson. My initial assessment of you seems to have been incorrect. It must have been the baggy jeans and the fact that you carry a notebook everywhere writing down as you listen to beats on your ipod. Must be ballet related.

Well don't let it happen again. There be a mad **** o killer on da loose and by da looks of that there storm we ain't gonna be leavin soon so no point in fightin among ourselves. We need to get our **** organised!

[R. Rose]

Oh MY! Mr Kilmister quite a cantankerous attitude you have there. Reminds me of my husband. Might I suggest that your first name be Killer Kilmister. I vote that we indeed get you your own personal room, perhaps a very personal room, K. Kilmister to be detained so an old lady may give her heart a rest.

[K. Kilmister]

Miss Rose, firstly my full name is Kain Kilmister, secondly, don't be so overly pathetic. The killer is among us and waiting in silence, waiting for the right time to strike again, the killer will be the one no one expects. I have nothing to hide on my person, search me and see if you find a bloody knife on me.

[R. Rose]

First of all it is Ms. Rose to you and, secondly, Are you saying that you are expected to kill young man? Just like my husband, calling an old gal pathetic just because she doesn't act the way you wanted, nay, expected. I lived through the fifties young man and we are no longer expected to behave in certain ways. I am sure that we will be very much able to ascertain whether or not you have anything on you in detention. Now all this talk of hell has me quite concerned.

[W. Wakeman]

Sir Kilmister, you paint yourself as quite the odd fellow. I believe it would be a bit too obvious if you were the killer, yet I have my doubts. The events of this day have turned me into quite the suspicious man, and I think it would be wise for all of us to be cautious of everyone, no matter how well you know each other.

[N. Nicks]

my full name is Kain Kilmister

Kain? Is this your birth name, or perhaps one you have chosen for its suitability? It seems an odd choice for loving parents to bestow upon an innocent child.

[K. Kilmister]

Sir Kilmister, you paint yourself as quite the odd fellow. I believe it would be a bit too obvious if you were the killer, yet I have my doubts. The events of this day have turned me into quite the suspicious man, and I think it would be wise for all of us to be cautious of everyone, no matter how well you know each other.

My occupation requires this level of cynicism and heartlessness. Currently there is to little information to implicate anyone of this murder, I propose we all move towards the bar area and have a drink, the killer is bound to let slip an incriminating word after a few drinks in him or her.

[D. Dickinson]

Dr. D. Dickinson is astounded by the lack of class shown by one Mr. Kilmister. Not only did the man clap hands when the show was over, but he did so in a most outrageous fashion! He then proceeds to admit that he substituted his own name for a very unamusing one. Dr. D. Dickinson is not amused; this figure is without any and all dignity. Dr. D. Dickinson wants to have Mr. K. Kilmister detained.

Dr. D. Dickinson is not all too impressed with the class shown by Mr. Jackson either, indeed a most unpleasant fellow. Dr. D. Dickinson requests that Mr. J. Jackson be investigated.

[Chippit]

Woooah, Nelly. Dr. D. Dickinson appears to have misunderstood. While the group itself has two actions, you still only have one vote each. ;)

Also, since I appear to have neglected to explain it properly (it was late, shush), your voting options are either to detain a player or investigate one of the locations on the map. As a group, you may only detain a single player every turn, but you may investigate two locations.

[D. Dickinson]

*cough* Dr. D. Dickinson is not quite sure why the young'uns are confusing him so. Dr. D. Dickinson however remains confused. *adjusts monocle* Let Dr. D. Dickinson look at that wording again.

*moments of pause*

J. Jackson will be excused for the day, even though he is assuredly not from the club.

[P. Plant]

Ah, it is just as I thought. Every rose has it's thorns, and it seems Ms. Rose is already living up to her name. Pleased to make your acquaintance, if I may, dear lady.

Do not be overly concerned by recent events. As with all these matters, I am sure the vines of justice will close around the culprit soon enough. They say with age comes wisdom, and I would find it enlightening as well as an honour to hear who here has drawn your suspicions, if you would be so kind as to share them.


First of all it is Ms. Rose to you and, secondly, Are you saying that you are expected to kill young man?

[K. Kilmister]

Barman, I would like a glass of the Blue Label please.

*takes a sip*

My fellow hotel guests, we know little of who the individual is who commit this murder, we have only one option as I see it. We must investigate the Entrance Hall. This is where we know the killer spoke from! Though I have suspicion that the killer might be using tricks to mask his voice and his apparent location.

[H. Hendrix]

I have this one little saying, when things get too heavy just call me helium, the lightest known gas to man. Entrance Hall We have time, there's no big rush.

[N. Nicks]

I think we can safely guess what Mr Kilmister's favourite boardgame is.

I may not possess a sturdy constitution, but at least I can tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Would Kain's next question be to examine the candlesticks?

Let's just leave this for the professionals, if anything this is probably another member of staff striking with the hotel at its busiest, so as to slip away unnoticed. Some lovers quarrel or somesuch.

Funny Sir Nicks, would you also love to have a pina colada while you sit on your arse doing nothing?

No professionals are coming, the phone lines have most probably been damaged by the lightning or sabotaged by the killer. So help us find evidence in the hallway because that's where we heard the voice.

[P. Plant]

Although I dislike that the seeds of discord that has been sown are already starting to spread roots amongst us, I find myself in agreement with Mr Kilmister. Let us investigate the Entrance Hall, for that is not only the direction from which the mysterious voice was heard, but also the place through which most of the people gathered here should have entered.

[R. Rose]

Oh Mr Plant you are quite a charming young man. Reminds me of my husband when he was trying to court me all those years ago. I am not one who usually cast suspicions around willy-nilly, but that Mr Kilmister certainly rubbed me the wrong way, so your request for more suspects cannot be afforded at this stage save to make me out to be a nosy neighbour.

Of course I do feel that searching the Enterance Hall would certainly be the most obvious course of action. I just am still questioning the flip-floppery of Mr Kilmister at this early stage and in these circumstances. Also the air of expectancy that surrounds him has done little to convince me that my earlier outburst at him was improper.

Also I do beleive I met a Mr Plant before, Robert if memory serves, one spring day in the sixties. Such a lovely voice. My husband sure did not like how my eyes clouded when I heard him Ramble On.

[J. Jackson]

What I lack in Class I be making that **** up in intelligence. Why do you folks prosecute a man without evidence? J.Jackson think yo Fools an we should be investigating for some proof first. I say we investigate a strange room I walked by just now, that thing was Locked and had no sign. I'm pretty sure that that **** be going on in the room and according to the map it's marked as ???.

My vote is we investigate room ???

[I. Iha]

I find it very strange for a man with a Doctorate to refer to himself in the third person. I would feel a lot safer if Doc Dickinson was detained while we all have a look at what goes on in the Forbidden Room at the back of the hotel. I reckon if anyone were to hide a murder weapon it would be where no one was allowed to go, right?

Also, Ms Rose sounds like a senile old lady if you ask me. I don't see her insight as being any help at all. Suspecting a man because of his name is a bit hasty and without any merit...

[N. Nicks]

I see you've already artfully dodged my question as to your name, but be that as it may, I'm certainly as keen as everyone else to have this incident dealt with as quickly as possible. I'll shall offer my assistance, though I'm not really sure of what use I could be.

I don't want to put a bustle in anyone's hedgerow, but I did notice Mr Plant climbing the stairway, carrying a heavy looking kashmir suitcase. I found it odd at the time, as the porters were carrying all the guests luggage to our rooms. Why would Mr Plant insist on not allowing anyone else to carry his bag?

[Chippit]

One vote, guys. Just one vote.

[I. Iha]

One vote, guys. Just one vote.

Ok, so either we vote for a person to be detained, or we vote for a location to be examined? Not one of each?

[B. Bonham]

N. Nicks seems quick to divulge information that could poison P. Plant's reputation. I say before we detain, we abstain. In the deep south, where I hail from, we give a man a chance to explain, and then detain. Let's investigate us some Entrance Halls.

[R. Rose]

Oh pish posh! Senile? How dare you? I was merely startled by the initial reaction of a certain individual. The play on the names was merely my tactful way of questioning him, something that is lost on you young jezabels, it seems. I most certainly agree that the Entrance Hall be examined but my haste to detain Mr. Kilmister has lost me my vote, something you don't seem to be familiar with.

Yet I am the senile one? Hah!

[Chippit]

Ok, so either we vote for a person to be detained, or we vote for a location to be examined? Not one of each?

That is correct. For those of you who have voted twice, I will allow you to pick either one of your decisions. If you do not pick, I will count the first one only.

[K. Kilmister]

Maybe next time Ms. Rose you will consider the information at your disposal before jumping to conclusions.

[N. Nicks]

N. Nicks seems quick to divulge information that could poison P. Plant's reputation. I say before we detain, we abstain. In the deep south, where I hail from, we give a man a chance to explain, and then detain. Let's investigate us some Entrance Halls.

Yes, because the deep south is known for its 'explain then detain' policies.......

And might I ask why you are so quick to jump to Mr Plant's defence? You act as if we hunt some mythical white whale; I didn't even want to get involved in the first place! I'm not one for conflict, and Mr Kilmister has been very insistent, so I just related an observation.

[R. Rose]

Maybe next time Ms. Rose you will consider the information at your disposal before jumping to conclusions.

Oh Mr Kilmister you and I are destined to be at eachother's throats it seems. I just hope you don't take that last sentence too literally, for the sake of my throat. My husband always said that you learn a lot from your first encounter with somebody. In your case I have learnt to distrust you immensely. Perhaps I was too hasty but that does not discount your behaviour, or are behaviours not considered information to you?

[I. Iha]

Since it appears that the proper authorities will not be coming to investigate this crime scene, and our responsibilities have been made clear, I need to clarify the proposition I made earlier.

Although I do not trust Dr. Dickonson I can't accuse him of anything just yet. I still however think that we should go ahead and investigate the Forbidden Room (???) at the back of the hotel.

Yet I am the senile one? Hah!

I would have been able to believe in your line of questioning had you not continued to make a fool of yourself.
Ms Rose, I can't even begin to unravel what you are trying to say. Did you perhaps take your medication twice this morning? Maybe you should go and have a bit of a lie-down?

[B. Bonham]

Yes, because the deep south is known for its 'explain then detain' policies.......

And might I ask why you are so quick to jump to Mr Plant's defence? You act as if we hunt some mythical white whale; I didn't even want to get involved in the first place! I'm not one for conflict, and Mr Kilmister has been very insistent, so I just related an observation.

Do you have something to say about the Great State of Texas? Then you come right out and say it, you bafoon. Here I was just minding my own business when out of nowhere you come with your tomfoolery and accusations.

I am an upstanding citizen and open minded Texan. I didn't even accuse J Jackson or anything.

[T. Tyler]

Hahaha! This kind of chaos certainly has made for a lively day of entertainment.

I vote that we consider which room should be examined, as we have nothing to go on in order to detain anyone at this stage.

[P. Plant]

I don't want to put a bustle in anyone's hedgerow, but I did notice Mr Plant climbing the stairway, carrying a heavy looking kashmir suitcase. I found it odd at the time, as the porters were carrying all the guests luggage to our rooms. Why would Mr Plant insist on not allowing anyone else to carry his bag?

Indeed, your eyes did not deceive you. Unfortunately for me, seeing as my explanation will do nothing to allay your suspicions, I have never liked other people handling my belongings, and therefore preferred to take it up to my room myself. Had the contents of the suitcase not been so precious and dear to me, I might not have been overly worried, but I fear that anything other than the utmost care might harm the fragile contents.

[R. Rose]

I would have been able to believe in your line of questioning had you not continued to make a fool of yourself.
Ms Rose, I can't even begin to unravel what you are trying to say. Did you perhaps take your medication twice this morning? Maybe you should go and have a bit of a lie-down?

I beg your pardon? What line of questioning? Saying that I agree with the sentiments of a man I distrust, that is that the Entrance Hall be examined, because they are logical has nothing to do with the fact that I still immensely distrust him. While I might agree that I acted a little hastily in my vote to detain him, I still stand firmly behind my vote.

I would propose that you mind your manners and take heed in the fact that whilst I have 'made a fool of myself' you have done little to convince me of intelligence on your part. Accusing me of being senile and then suggesting I take medication. Do you have a reason you are so threatened by an old lady? Or are you usually this hypocritical in your approach to rationality?

[N. Nicks]

Indeed, your eyes did not deceive you. Unfortunately for me, seeing as my explanation will do nothing to allay your suspicions, I have never liked other people handling my belongings, and therefore preferred to take it up to my room myself. Had the contents of the suitcase not been so precious and dear to me, I might not have been overly worried, but I fear that anything other than the utmost care might harm the fragile contents.

I have no reason to doubt, Mr Plant. A communication breakdown is the last thing we need, I simply related the only thing I have witnessed that seemed unusual. It was either that, or risk upsetting Mr Kilmister.

Thank you for clearing that up.

I did also notice that Ms Iha didn't seem overly fond of her pumpkin soup starter. I however thought it was smashing.

[M. Mercury]

I agree must first investigate the Entrance Hall. I dare say that jumping to conclusions about any one person is quite premature at this stage. Shouting and pointing will do us no good, we must keep our heads and look for clues first. The one responsible for this will be made clear if we do a proper investigation.

Anyone with any investigative experience around? We must make all haste.

I would like some sugar water if any is to be found, I'm quite a bit shocked about today's events...

[K. Kilmister]

*hands Mercury sugar water*

It was quite the appetizer.


Oh Mr Kilmister you and I are destined to be at eachother's throats it seems.

It seems so Ms Rose, however you don't seem to fond of making new friends yourself as I'm sure Ms Iha will testify.

[N. Nicks]

We could really use a breakthru.....

[K. Kilmister]

We could really use a breakthru.....

I trust we will find one once we examine the Entrance hall more thoroughly.

[R. Rose]

It seems so Ms Rose, however you don't seem to fond of making new friends yourself as I'm sure Ms Iha will testify.

Which is fair indeed. Call me old-fashoined but when one questions your sanity and accuses you of 'popping pills' as it were, it is rare to forge a friendship a top it.

[M. Mercury]

Thank you mr. Kilmister.

[Chippit]

We could really use a breakthru.....

You are winning this thread. Thank you.

[A. Anderson]

Thank you mr. Kilmister.

My apologies for being late, but happy belated birthday Mr. Mercury! It is almost as if tonight's occurrences was a ritual, or sacrifice, of some sorts, to commemorate this auspicious day. But that would be absurd, shame on me for thinking such devilish thoughts!

[M. Mercury]

Thanks mr. Anderson.

I think I'm ready for something stronger than sugar water. It helped, but I think a good 'ol Scotch would go down nicely now.

[P. Plant]

Seeing as we already have a sizeable party to investigate the Entrance Hall, would it not be helpful to get another group together to investigate another location while we are busy in the entrance hall?

[T. Tyler]

Well that settles it spacemonkeys. Let's start at the first logical place, specifically, the Entrance hall.

[H. Hendrix]

Thanks mr. Anderson.

I think I'm ready for something stronger than sugar water. It helped, but I think a good 'ol Scotch would go down nicely now.


If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine.

[W. Wakeman]

Perhaps, since we're already investigating the immediate location of the murder, we should check out where the victim was likely to have been before the incident. I vote we investigate the Kitchen. I'm willing to personally lead the inspection of this facility. What say the rest of you?

[N. Nicks]

Yes.

[Z. Zappa]

You know what? I say we investigate this Forbidden Room. I despise all the secrecy about this room. It's time to open it for all to see. What I find funny is how many people insist on investigating something else! Its a murder people! What is more suspicious than a room labeled as "???" considering the current situation?

[F. Fogerty]

resting on a chair, having been partially revived with the aid of a glass of water

That voice, that voice is so familiar....

Fogerty? Flatulent Fogerty? Is that you?

My word, man! How long has it been?

What do you make of all this?

Yes Naughty Nicks, it is indeed me. I am surprised to see you still using that name though. I thought you only used that for the 'movies' I produced. It is good to see a familiar face again though.

As for this business of voting, as we have no leads I suggest that we search the entrance hall

[K. Kilmister]

What I find funny is how many people insist on investigating something else! Its a murder people! What is more suspicious than a room labeled as "???" considering the current situation?

All rooms lead toward the hallway, if we can find out where the killer went after his act of murder we can investigate that room. The Forbidden Room might not be of any significance yet.

[N. Nicks]

Yes Naughty Nicks, it is indeed me. I am surprised to see you still using that name though. I thought you only used that for the 'movies' I produced. It is good to see a familiar face again though.

Well, I was just on the edge of seventeen, and I needed the money. I'm not proud of myself, for what it's worth.

What are you doing here? I confess the only rumours I've heard have all been through the grapevine.

[F. Fogerty]

Well, I was just on the edge of seventeen, and I needed the money. I'm not proud of myself, for what it's worth.

What are you doing here? I confess the only rumours I've heard have all been through the grapevine.

I've moved up in the world over the years. Instead of being behind the camera and deciding on set design, I now have my own production company.

I was doing some talent scouting nearby, and decided to stay over at what I thought was a fine hotel.

What has become of you in our time apart?

[Z. Zappa]

The Forbidden Room might not be of any significance yet.

I'll tell you one thing: If we don't open that door soon, the thought of this mysterious room will fester at the back of our minds.

[S. Scholz]

now that the initial shock has worn off I find this whole situation rather discordant as if rock, R&B, country and metal were all playing at once.
having no idea who would perpetuate such a gruesome act, I'll agree with the notion of investigating the mysterious (???) room with our second investigation party
as this makes more sense than investigating the kitchen to me.

[K. Kilmister]

I'll tell you one thing: If we don't open that door soon, the thought of this mysterious room will fester at the back of our minds.

I don't let petty things like that distract me from real issues Mr Zappa. Now if you will excuse me, I feel I need to take a walk around to calm my mind.

[C. Clapton]

Murder... Such an inconvenience...

I move that we investigate the Bar

*takes a sip of his whiskey only to spit it out immidiately*

If only so I can get myself a proper drink.

[K. Kilmister]

*takes a sip of his whiskey only to spit it out immidiately*

If only so I can get myself a proper drink.

I must say, you look awfully familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before? Join me at the bar, let us talk and have drink.

[N. Nicks]

What has become of you in our time apart?

It hasn't been an easy road, that much I can tell you. I was afraid of changing, but time makes you bolder and I'm getting older too.

I've been finding the odd freelance work, sensationalist pieces for whatever magazine will print them. I've been trying to complete a novel for a while now, and I thought I could get both peace and a little inspiration by staying here for a few nights. So I've scraped together the last of my savings, booked a decent suite, and we'll see what transpires.

[F. Fogerty]

An author I see, that is an interesting profession. Any chance that this whole set up is one for you to write a murder mystery?

[A. Anderson]

In my humble opinion, I feel it is much too early to investigate the Forbidden Room. I mean, am I the only one present to have seen every horror movie ever?! You always investigate the Forbidden Room? last, don't you people know that?!

I believe we should begin with the Entrance Hall.

[F. Fogerty]

This man speaks the truth. I have worked on many movies, and you never want to be the first one into the forbidden room!

[N. Nicks]

An author I see, that is an interesting profession. Any chance that this whole set up is one for you to write a murder mystery?

I do enjoy a good mystery novel, as they always seem to get the big wheel to keep on turnin' in my mind, but I'm well enough acquainted with the genre to know that the murderer always gets caught, especially in a setting like this!

So in answer, no. I have not set anything up.

[D. Dickinson]

I would feel a lot safer if Doc Dickinson
Dr. D. Dickinson questions this lady of her senses. Lady, Dr. D. Dickinson is to be referred to by his full title and name. No Doc Dickinson... No Dr. D... Dr D. Dickinson.

[F. Fogerty]

That's good to know young man. No one can be too careful at times like this.

[W. Wakeman]

Is everyone forgetting we are allowed to investigate two rooms at a time? The Entrance Hall is pretty much a given already and the Forbidden Room would be a silly distraction. We must inspect the Kitchen, people!

[K. Kilmister]

Mr Wakeman, you do realise you could ask the chef for the dessert, you don't have to get us to investigate it.

[C. Clapton]

I must say, you look awfully familiar. Have I seen you somewhere before? Join me at the bar, let us talk and have drink.

I think I have seen you at Steampunk Glasses Emporium shopping quite a few times. You sir, are a man of impeccable taste in headwear.

[W. Wakeman]

My dear fellow, we both know that I didn't touch the dessert today. Or are your observational skills not as sharp as I assumed? My lactose intolerance would get the better of me if I indulged in the ice-cream that was served.

[N. Nicks]

Since this murder was clearly orchestrated, if one is to believe the theatricality of the voice behind it all, I am doubtful as to the success of searching the entrance hall. I propose we investigate the Storage.

[P. Plant]

Ah, well that was a refreshing nap, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure I heard scratches in the ceiling. Must've been the rats smelling the bait my Plutonian Flytrap produces. Ah, well. So, did anybody manage to get their tendrils on some information in the meantime?

[L. Lennon]

If the investigation of the Entrance hall produces some compelling evidence, a round of drinks on me! Two drinks for you, Illiana (if you don't mind me calling you that). *winks*

[K. Kilmister]

I think I have seen you at Steampunk Glasses Emporium shopping quite a few times. You sir, are a man of impeccable taste in headwear.

Of course, yes, and thank you. Do you frequent the Steampunk Glasses Emporium? Have not been there much myself, far to busy traveling. A drink good sir, let us indulge in some friendly chatter, you must tell me where you found your garment.

[M. Mercury]

If the investigation of the Entrance hall produces some compelling evidence, a round of drinks on me! Two drinks for you, Illiana (if you don't mind me calling you that). *winks*

Behave yourself, we have someone recently deceased and you're trying to pick up a woman!!!??? She must distrought...

There there mrs. Illiana, I'll hold this ruffian at bay

[K. Kilmister]

Something tells me Ms Iha will be very busy rejecting a few opportunistic men during her stay.

[L. Lennon]

Behave yourself, we have someone recently deceased and you're trying to pick up a woman!!!??? She must distrought...

There there mrs. Illiana, I'll hold this ruffian at bay

Do you not see? Everyone has settled down. Kilmister and Clapton are talking about HATS, for goodness sake. You condemn me because I choose to converse with the fairer sex?

[L. Lennon]

Has anyone had a closer look at Mr Zappa? Anyone with a moustache of that proportion immediately becomes a suspect on my list.

[Z. Zappa]

Has anyone had a closer look at Mr Zappa? Anyone with a moustache of that proportion immediately becomes a suspect on my list.

Please, this stache was cultivated over many years - it begs a measure of respect. I'm sure you would love to have one too, if only your baby face would allow it.

[L. Lennon]

Please, this stache was cultivated over many years - it begs a measure of respect. I'm sure you would love to have one as well, if only your baby face would allow it.

Are you hiding murder weapons, along with the various species of rodents, in that tremendous bundle of hair of yours?

[A. Anderson]

Please, this stache was cultivated over many years - it begs a measure of respect. I'm sure you would love to have one too, if only your baby face would allow it.

Oh no he di'in't!
/sassy

[Z. Zappa]

Are you hiding murder weapons, along with the various species of rodents, in that tremendous bundle of hair of yours?

Well my friend, you have an open invitation to comb it whenever you like. I never turn away an admirer.

[N. Nicks]

Has anyone had a closer look at Mr Zappa? Anyone with a moustache of that proportion immediately becomes a suspect on my list.

He's a real nowhere man. I've attempted to strike up a conversation, but I got the impression he prefers to keep to himself. Not that there's anything wrong with that; this has been an intense hour or so, and we can all see the growing mistrust.

Let's not allow ourselves to get carried away.

[C. Clapton]

Of course, yes, and thank you. Do you frequent the Steampunk Glasses Emporium? Have not been there much myself, far to busy traveling. A drink good sir, let us indulge in some friendly chatter, you must tell me where you found your garment.

I do indeed. Only the Steampunk Glasses Emporium can offer me the glasses I require.
This coat was made by my tailor who specializes in abnormal textiles. It is most comfortable.

I do not wish to alarm anyone, but has anyone else noticed that our good Doctor Dickinson seems to be nothing more than a well groomed dog in an overcoat?

[J. Jackson]

I needs me a drink after that awesome practice session. They don't call me king of the dance for nuthin homeboys. Off to the Bar and maybe our host that cracking pimp, chippit could reveal what we found on our investigations. Bar Tender, some Whiskey, player be dry.

[H. Hendrix]

Has anyone had a closer look at Mr Zappa? Anyone with a moustache of that proportion immediately becomes a suspect on my list.

To be with the others, you have to have your hair short and wear ties. So we're trying to make a third world happen, you know what I mean?

[W. Wakeman]

Seems we'll be investigating the Forbidden Room and the Entrance Hall, then.

[N. Nicks]

I do not wish to alarm anyone, but has anyone else noticed that our good Doctor Dickinson seems to be nothing more than a well groomed dog in an overcoat?

I'm ashamed to admit that I not only noticed, but actually asked him about it. To his credit, he was good-natured about the whole thing. Apparently, he is the seventh son of a seventh son, and as such was unfortunate enough to inherit a rare genetic condition whereby his facial hair grows at an alarming rate.

[K. Kilmister]

I do indeed. Only the Steampunk Glasses Emporium can offer me the glasses I require.
This coat was made by my tailor who specializes in abnormal textiles. It is most comfortable.

You must give me your tailors details, I've been yearning for a new coat. What is it that brings you here Sir Clapton?

I was under the impression that he was one of those newly genetically engineered super hounds.

[L. Lennon]

I believe I shall call it a night, gentlemen. I will review and speculate over tonight's investigation when I am no longer under the influence and can think clearly.

[I. Iha]

Do you not see? Everyone has settled down. Kilmister and Clapton are talking about HATS, for goodness sake. You condemn me because I choose to converse with the fairer sex?

Thanks for the offer boys but I can't settle down as things stand right now. Apart from being unsettled with the murder I am much too excited about seeing what is in that mysterious room!

[Kharrak]

Going to interject here, as Chippit is seemingly delayed.

No more votes, long past the deadline.

I shall tally up the votes, and report them to chippit - assuming he's not here and dealing with everything before I am done.

Also, to clarify on how voting works, in case there are any confused:

How Voting Works.

Each Gentleman and Lady is allowed to voice a single vote in total.

You can choose to vote for one of two possible things:

1. Vote to Detain a Player
A detained player will be forced to reveal if they are a Bad Person.

A detained player will have any actions they may be doing interrupted during that round.

A detained player will not be able to cast a vote in the next round.

If a detained player is indeed a Bad Person, they are removed from visible play. If the detained player is an innocent (ie, a TRUE gentlemen and/or lady), they are NOT removed from the game, and only suffer the penalties listed above. They otherwise continue to play as normal.

2. Vote to Investigate a Room

An investigated room may reveal clues/secrets/tips that may provide pieces to the larger puzzle, potentially clarifying what needs to be done.

AFTER THE VOTES HAVE BEEN TALLIED

Once all votes have been tallied, the two options with the highest votes are put into action. This includes both votes for detaining a player, and votes for investigating a room.

Note, a maximum of ONE player may be detained. If the voting results in the detaining of two players recieving the most votes, then the choice with the most votes is chosen, and the highest voted room to investigate will then be chosen.

Another way to look at this, is that there always has to be at least one Investigation.

Example 1: After tallying the votes, 5 players voted to detain Molly, 3 players voted to detain Morgan, 8 players voted to investigate the Mud Pantry, and 4 players voted to investigate the Cushion Factory.

The two options with the highest results are to detain Molly , and to investigate the Mud Pantry - thus those are the two actions that will be carried out.

Example 2: After tallying the votes, 5 players voted to detain Molly, 8 players voted to detain Morgan, 3 players voted to investigate the Mud Pantry, and 4 players voted to investigate the Cushion Factory.

The two options with the highest results are to detain Molly , and to detain Morgan. However, since only a single player can be detained per round, and there has to be at least one investigation, Morgan is chosen to be detained (as this is the result with the most votes), and the Cushion Factory is chosen to be investigated (as it is the Room Investigation with the highest votes)

[Chippit]

Ah, yes, thank you, sir Kharrak. I got home a biiiit later than I expected, so I shall tend to everything right now!

[C. Clapton]

You must give me your tailors details, I've been yearning for a new coat. What is it that brings you here Sir Clapton?



I came here in search of some excitement. Years of military has left me with a taste for adventure that the civilian life just cannot quench. I had heard tales of the Hotel San Andreas for years and I finally decided to come inspect it for myself. Untill all the murdering started, I thought it to be quite quant.


Going to interject here, as Chippit is seemingly delayed.

Entrance Hall - 8
Mystery Room - 4
K. Kilmister - 2
Kitchen - 1
Storage - 1
Bar - 1


16:30

The group, nervous and tense, filed out of the dining room and poured back into the entrance hall. Random flashes of lightning unsettled stragglers, who hastily edged closer to the mob, and the building itself groaned in the wind.

A smaller contingent forked off and progressed further down the hall, towards the kitchen and the mysterious forbidden room.

The remaining crowd proceeded to inexpertly and awkwardly scour the large marble-floored room, navigating around the portrait-lined walls while randomly prodding crevices, cracks and imperfections in the stonework.

The smaller group returned with shortly afterwards with disappointing news. “It’s locked, we can’t get in without the right key. That was a bit of a waste of time.”

After a few minutes of aimless searching, a cry echoed through the room, “I found something!” The group quickly gathered round and the surrounded guest presented a strange metal pendant bearing a moon relief.

“What do you guys make of this?”

“I don’t know, but I see a bad moon rising.”

Suddenly, the lights went out again, and a few surprised shrieks rang out. Everyone froze in silence, not daring to move, but when the power returned, all appeared well. The guests took the opportunity to retreat to their rooms, to meet again in the dining room to discuss plans.

Upon returning, they discovered N. Nicks was mysteriously absent from the table. Nobody could remember when they’d seen him last.

Additionally, Miss Aimee's corpse had mysteriously vanished.

[K. Kilmister]

This has become interesting indeed. Whoever this killer is, he seems not to be to concerned by who his victims is... yet. I'm very puzzled by this moon pendent we found, but I'll give better theories in the morning, sleep is what we all need.

[Chippit]

Important note

An interesting question just arose.

Players sharing your room are treated just like any other player in the game. As such, unless you're part of a faction, you may not contact them in private. Indeed, you're spending most of your time debating around the dining table; who has time for private conversation?

[W. Wakeman]

This has become interesting indeed. Whoever this killer is, he seems not to be to concerned by who his victims is... yet. I'm very puzzled by this moon pendent we found, but I'll give better theories in the morning, sleep is what we all need.

Yes, very interesting. Were you and N. Nicks not in heated debate not too long ago? And now you're the first to comment after his disappearance!

I believe Mr. K. Kilmister here is in Cahoots! Perhaps we should detain him. If he is an innocent man, we'll be able to prove it without causing any harm to him, unlike some more extreme methods I've heard were used in a small town known as Nagia...

While I do not trust you, my dear fellow, I must agree that sleep is just what the doctor ordered. Dr. D. Dickinson, to be exact. Doctor, I need my allergy tablets!

[S. Scholz]

The moon pendant is indeed interesting, I see trouble on the way so don't go around tonight.
I think I'll follow my own advice, unpack my stuff and have me a drink while I ponder on what exactly Mr F. Fogerty might have to do with these events.

Edit: you sleepers do realise its 16:30 right ? by morning we might all be dead or missing what with one murder and a disappearance all happening in the space of 30 minutes.

[N. Nicks]

Guess I'll just have to go my own way and call it another lonely day...

[J. Jackson]

A moon Pendant? There be somethin familiar about that but I just can't put my goddamned fibger on it. Give me some time to think **** through....

[M. Mercury]

Good morning O. Osbourne, T. Tyler and U. Ulrich. One of you snores, so by the by, but it's no biggie. Nothing I'm going to be too worried about.

[H. Hendrix]

There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
While his genocide fools
There's so much you and me can discover
And I think we should start, start right now
Oh, my mind is so mixed up, goin' round 'n' round
I just wanna know about, the rooms behind
your minds, *points to the storage room*
It's just the ever falling dust
That makes it so hard for me to see
Do I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind?


Now excuse me while I kiss the sky.

[J. Jackson]

From my dancing tours around the world I recall something about a moon pendant... some drunk ass peasant told me a story of some village and a whack ass cult... god my memory is ****!! let me think this through further...

[K. Kilmister]

I had the most terrible night of sleep. Kept up by fears that I might not make it to the end. We must investigate a room AND detain someone today, any other way and we're wasting our time. I propose that before we make our vote we discuss the proper action to follow and vote only after we are satisfied with the result of our debating.
I feel we must either investigate the Storage Room, the Dinning Hall or the Pantry. The Dinning hall is where Ms Aimee was killed and we will most probably find a murder weapon or a clue as to the origin of the killer, the other two choices are merely guesses in the wind. As for who we should detain, I have a suspicion it will be me and I make no objections to it. If anyone requires me, I will be sitting at the fire place in the bar.


some drunk ass peasant told me a story of some village and a whack ass cult... god my memory is ****!! let me think this through further...

Nagia as I recall, I read a report of the incident a few months back. The entire village and two chicken empires killed save 4, in a massacre propagated between town vigilantism and cult killings. If this case has anything to teach us, is that we must be very certain of our actions.

[R. Rose]

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Sweet child of mine! N. Nicks seems to have boarded the night train and has a a one way ticket to a paradise city. Oh my dear heart I hope, for his sake that he is knocking on heavens door!

Now, I did think it rather silly to immediately go against our lovely hosts wishes and try to enter the forbidden room, I just couldn't stand another encounter with a certain jezabel were I to voice my opinion again. I think if she were to call me a 'pill popper' again I'd have to get in the ring, as my son would say.

Now before this turns into a civil war and whilst this november rain keeps us here I would propose that our choices between rooms are the Storage and Dining Room. Of course my initial suspicions have not subsided against Mr Kilmister as he seems to know a little more than he is letting on. How does he know that the killer is killing without much concern? Did you know something about N. Nicks?

And one more thing, Mr Zappa, using the excuse of sleep walking to try and bed down with an old lady is not proper conduct. I am not your rocket queen! Hmmph.

[T. Tyler]

Very interesting indeed. I am still of the opinion that we need to investigate further before pointing fingers. Any suggestions on where to next, possilby with a good reason behind it?

[K. Kilmister]

It is quite obvious Ms Rose, but let me explain it to your frail mind. Sir Nicks was a target of opportunity, he has done nothing but be passive and neutral and thus the least likely target for any killer who wishes to stay unnoticed. Our killer has not yet become accustomed to the guests around him/her and will try and senselessly kill anyone who he/she sees as a direct threat.

a whispered observation

[J. Jackson]

Nagia as I recall, I read a report of the incident a few months back. The entire village and two chicken empires killed save 4, in a massacre propagated between town vigilantism and cult killings. If this case has anything to teach us, is that we must be very certain of our actions.

Yeyeah, that's it! This peasant told me that when they caught the leader of one of the cults, some bastard named Vii, He was found with a moon pendant, a pendant that looks exactly the same as the one we found in the hallway. ya think there be a connection?

[I. Iha]

Wow, that was disappointing. To think that one locked door can keep twenty-something people at bay? I thought we had some strong men amongst us? What a shame, I like a strong man...

Mr Kilmister, I'm surprised that you had such a hard time trying to sleep last night. You seemed to be the embodiment of calm and control yesterday. Seeing you worked up like this won't be good for the other guests. They need someone to lean on in these times, and I thought you might be that rock. So many disappointments today.

Ms Rose, would you settle down please? I know we don't see eye to eye and I can live with that. Why do you insist on dragging this on any longer than is needed? I never called you a "pill popper". I merely observed that you might have taken twice your regular dosage of medication by accident. I mean, at your age, who wouldn't be on medication for all sorts of ailments. No need to be ashamed.

I wonder what happened to Aimee? What kind of person could do such a thing? Kill one person, and steal the body of his previous victim. I just wish I could go home!

[R. Rose]

It is quite obvious Ms Rose, but let me explain it to your frail mind. Sir Nicks was a target of opportunity, he has done nothing but be passive and neutral and thus the least likely target for any killer who wishes to stay unnoticed. Our killer has not yet become accustomed to the guests around him/her and will try and senselessly kill anyone who he/she sees as a direct threat.

Frail mind? Your ambiguous phrasing of what you were saying is enough to throw anone off. I now, of course, understand that you meant he was killing for the sake of opportunity as opposed to killing off someone important, as in N. Nicks, which is why I questioned you. You and Ms. Iha seem quite adament to paint me as a nutter, it only serves to show that you two may be in cahoots.

[K. Kilmister]

Mr Kilmister, I'm surprised that you had such a hard time trying to sleep last night. You seemed to be the embodiment of calm and control yesterday. Seeing you worked up like this won't be good for the other guests. They need someone to lean on in these times, and I thought you might be that rock. So many disappointments today.

My dear, if you could see the demons I see every night you would surely understand.
But let us rather talk about our next action, Storage Room or Dinning Hall, and who to detain.

[V. Van Halen]

My apologies to all for not introducing myself earlier, or offering any thoughts on the dastardly events that have occurred, but I have been struck somewhat mute with these shocking events. I will gather my wits, and shortly join you in attempting to extract ourselves from this perilous situation.

[Chippit]

8 hours left for votin'z. Do go ahead.

[M. Mercury]

Mr. Kilmister, you have way too much to say on all these events, nevermind this little nugget:'Sir Nicks was a target of opportunity, he has done nothing but be passive and neutral and thus the least likely target for any killer who wishes to stay unnoticed. Our killer has not yet become accustomed to the guests around him/her and will try and senselessly kill anyone who he/she sees as a direct threat. ". Unless you are a sleuth, methinks you are way too well acquainted with the thinking of a killer...

My vote, let's investigate K. Kilmister

[R. Rose]

Maybe my age is catching up with me but let me leave my vote before retiring for a bit of a nap. As much as I would love to detain Mr Kilmister, I think that it would serve us better if I vote for a search of the Dining Room. I am off for a nap now, if only my husband were here to protect me from the advances of that Zappa dweezle.

[T. Tyler]

The dining room? Seems to open and obvious. My gut tells me that if we are to find anything, the Storage room is where we should start.

[S. Scholz]

Right now I say our options for detainment stand at either F. Fogerty (no hard feelings) based on the clue that is the moon pendant or G. Gramm, who may be nothing more than a victim of circumstance, but I have observed this individual sending secret messages to an unknown other.
Either way I hope that should they be detained it will only serve to prove their innocence.
As far as room investigation goes I am inclined to agree with the sentiment of investigating the dining room.

I'd like to know more about the moon pendant (and whether chippit is being sneeky) so for now I say detain
F. Fogerty, should others vote with me, Fogerty as consolation for the treatment I'll give you a drink of your choice on me.

[H. Hendrix]

Moon + Mercury, something's out of rhythm here. M. Mercury

[V. Van Halen]

Oh dear this is absolutely terrible! Who could have done this?
For those that I haven't been introduced to, I am Miss Illiana Iha.
I sure hope they can get those generators up and running soon, I feel very uncomfortable being stuck in the dark like this.
Has anyone contacted the authorities yet?

Miss Iha, I am concerned at your health, as the lights had come on before you uttered this. Do you suffer from a sight condition?

[Chippit]

5 way tie at my count:

F. Fogerty
K. Kilmister
M. Mercury
Dining Room
Storage

6 and a half hours remain.

[V. Van Halen]

I see you've already artfully dodged my question as to your name, but be that as it may, I'm certainly as keen as everyone else to have this incident dealt with as quickly as possible. I'll shall offer my assistance, though I'm not really sure of what use I could be.

I don't want to put a bustle in anyone's hedgerow, but I did notice Mr Plant climbing the stairway, carrying a heavy looking kashmir suitcase. I found it odd at the time, as the porters were carrying all the guests luggage to our rooms. Why would Mr Plant insist on not allowing anyone else to carry his bag?

My dear fellows, has no-one noticed that Mr Nicks cast some doubt on P Plant and tnow has subsequently disappeared? I say we detain P? PLANTS

F. Fogerty, should others vote with me, Fogerty as consolation for the treatment I'll give you a drink of your choice on me.

Dear Mr S, could you elaborate on who sent the message, and how you came upon this information?

[V. Van Halen]

And if I may add one more suggestion before I retire for my afternoon nap to help with my shattered nerves, I am sure that most of you are sharing a room with a number of individuals, much as I am. Perhaps more information would be gained from investigating a sleeping room than kitchens and what not. I ask, what information did the entrance hall give us and the associated pendant? Unless, of course, my wits have not proved adequate and I missed something.

[P. Plant]

My dear fellows, has no-one noticed that Mr Nicks cast some doubt on P Plant and tnow has subsequently disappeared? I say we detain P? PLANTS


I shall remind you that Mr Nicks accepted my explanation of the situation. However, feel free to detain me. You shall find nothing linked to the murder upon my person.

[Sir PaniCore]

IGNORE MEEEEEEE!!!

[K. Kilmister]

Ladies and Gentlemen, calm down, we are not acting in a united fashion. We need to debate about who we want detained, we have to make logical assessments about our actions. We do NOT want to end like those poor souls in Nagia.
Seeing as we don't have enough information about where to search next, the only logical choice is The Dining Hall, since that is where the murder took place.

[P. Plant]

Seeing as we don't have enough information about where to search next, the only logical choice is The Dinning Hall, since that is where the murder took place.

The Dinning Hall, you say? I disagree. I say we start with the rooms. Let us start with Room A, and work through them in alphabetic order. Would it not make sense that whoever is killing us off would have instruments of the crime in the place where he sleeps?

[V. Van Halen]

I shall remind you that Mr Nicks accepted my explanation of the situation. However, feel free to detain me. You shall find nothing linked to the murder upon my person.

Perhaps not, but that does not mean you are not involved in these nefarious going-ons.

I would also like to make an observation - I noticed both Mr A and Mrs R made mention of family in introducing themselves. Mr A has a missus at home while Mrs R has lost her husband. Sounds like two lost souls looking for each other?.... Did I perhaps miss others mentioning family?

[K. Kilmister]

The Dinning Hall, you say? I disagree. I say we start with the rooms. Let us start with Room A, and work through them in alphabetic order. Would it not make sense that whoever is killing us off would have instruments of the crime in the place where he sleeps?

That may be the case, but it might take time for us to get any results from your approach. If the Dining Hall leads us nowhere I believe your strategy might be worth the effort.

[F. Fogerty]

Good man, I must ask why you would chose to question me? I shall accept no drink from you, how do I know that you have not posioned it?

[T. Tyler]

Hmmmm... Mr Plant makes an observation of blimp-like excellence. I have already cast my vote, but I hope the rest of you will join him in selecting a single room.

[Z. Zappa]

I agree with Killer. The Dining Hall would be a logical step forward. It's a shame we couldn't find a key for the forbidden room, looks like we'll have to put it on stasis for the time being. For the next vote we should try and clear our rooms. I don't want something lurking in the shadows while I slumber. -That goes out to Mr Bonham as well. You were breathing quite heavily over there chap.

Oh, and Mrs Rose, I don't like you. However much I may remind you of your old high school crush. I'm not the guy with the leather jacket and the black motorcycle who's going to sweep you off your wrinkly feet.

[S. Scholz]

I shall explain myself more clearly. I shall start with my observations of G. Gramm.
Shortly after the most unfortunate murder of miss aimee, I was observing those around me as is my habit in times of
Crisis, it was then that I noticed G. Gramm sending out secret messages(i.e. Private messaging) I was unable to ascertain
The receiver or the content of this message, but considering the proximity in time to the disappearance of N. Nicks
I believe that gramm was either conferring with his fellow conspirators or signalling his intent to perform extra covert activities. I could be completely wrong and gramm may have been sending a rules inquiry to the great chippit.
Detaining gramm soon should clear this up.

I shall now explain what I have inferred from the moon pendant. The pendant is clearly a moon and a bad one at that
Or a bad moon rising, this seems to point to some involvement from mr F. Fogerty, if you're not sure why google "bad moon rising". In any case again detaining mr Fogerty will clear this up.

Edit: Mr Fogerty I don't mean to cause you undue stress and simply want to clear up the afore mentioned situations, if it pleases you feel free to detain me at the next opportunit. As for the drink I was offering to pay for it not prepare it, I'm no barman :)

[N. Nicks]

Hmmmm... Mr Plant makes an observation of blimp-like excellence. I have already cast my vote, but I hope the rest of you will join him in selecting a single room.

Trying to wrap my head around 'blimp-like excellence', but I just can't. Suppose it's nobody's fault but mine.

[M. Mercury]

It could very well be that mr. Kilmister is leading us on a wild goose chase, taking us from meaningless room to meaningless room. I vote to detain him, if only so we can be sure. If he's an innocent, then great, that will be revealed.

[F. Fogerty]

Your accusation of me is based on a pendant which relates to a song, written by a man who shares my last name. This seems like a massive strech. Questioning me tonight would be a waste, as I would be proved innocent, and we could have done something productive instead.

Can I suggest another search be performed, to find some more clues.

[O. Osbourne]

*wakes up from off the floor* Hey man whats up with the unicorn on your head? *starts poking air above staff members hair* I've been in a drug induced coma since we got here, righteous!! What did I miss? (sorry I couldn't come on yesterday cause I had to help a girl with her physics at school and haven't had time to read the whole thread)

[I. Iha]

To look through all the guest's bedrooms should take about 4 hours, and then there are still 6 rooms left, another 3 hours.
By the time we have finished searching the hotel it will be 23:30. That leaves only 30 minutes before midnight to find out who the murderer is.

I'm not sure if I want to take those chances. At some point we will have to stand together and detain someone. So far I've only seen wild accusations being thrown around. Is there no one that can bring some insight and clarity to the situation?

I need a drink. Oh, barman............

[K. Kilmister]

It could very well be that mr. Kilmister is leading us on a wild goose chase, taking us from meaningless room to meaningless room. I vote to detain him, if only so we can be sure. If he's an innocent, then great, that will be revealed.

I've stated before that you are welcome to detain me, I have nothing to hide about this murder and disappearance. I come here without motive nor agenda.

Perhaps it's stretch perhaps not, either way I would consider it a productive course of action as if you are innocent we will have our first person beyond suspicion, and as Iha points out only searching rooms leaves very little time to actually find the killer. Besides we are quite capable of searching a room and detaining a person yielding both a clue and either a guaranteed innocent or a criminal. I believe this to be the most logical method of clearing up this situation.

[F. Fogerty]

I don't think so. I'm quite sure we either detain someone or search 2 rooms. Thus detaining me, would only prove my innocence, and bring us no clues.

[K. Kilmister]

I don't think so. I'm quite sure we either detain someone or search 2 rooms. Thus detaining me, would only prove my innocence, and bring us no clues.

I do Believe Sir Scholz is correct. We can detain one person and search a room.

[F. Fogerty]

I do Believe Sir Scholz is correct. We can detain one person and search a room.

My mistake, it's 2 players being detained that is not allowed.

[L. Lennon]

I vote to detain Mr. Kilmister. I have no personal gripes with you, apart from the coldness in your eyes. Nevertheless, I remain suspicious. While we were in our room, every time I glanced over at the dashing Illiana I noticed you to be deep in thought....almost as if plotting.
I'm sure you understand. The dining hall will receive enough votes to be investigated, and, as you mentioned, we need to have an individual detained else we'll make no progress.


I need a drink. Oh, barman............

Let me get that for you, my dear.

[L. Lennon]

Let it also be known that Sir Fogerty is high on my list of suspects. Nicks was last seen discussing his rather droll career with you, and he remained at your side until his disappearance. How is it that you do not notice the man beside you with whom you are chatting to disappear?

[K. Kilmister]

I vote to detain Mr. Kilmister. I have no personal gripes with you, apart from the coldness in your eyes. Nevertheless, I remain suspicious. While we were in our room, every time I glanced over at the dashing Illiana I noticed you to be deep in thought....almost as if plotting.
I'm sure you understand. The dining hall will receive enough votes to be investigated, and, as you mentioned, we need to have an individual detained else we'll make no progress.

Sir Lennon you will hear no objections from me, and may I tip you with some friendly advice, never loose your cool around Ms Iha, a woman with such high standards has little time for missteps on your part.

[L. Lennon]

Sir Lennon you will hear no objections from me, and may I tip you with some friendly advice, never loose your cool around Ms Iha, a woman with such high standards has little time for missteps on your part.

I will not enquire as to how to you obtained this knowledge.

[D. Dickinson]

Dr. D. Dickinson seems to be suffering from a splitting headache. Dr. D. Dickinson can accuse none other than K. Kilmister for inducing said headache.

[W. Wakeman]

I'll run with my gut feeling and vote for the detainment of K. Kilmister. Everything he says and does is too calm, too calculated. If he is found to be innocent, I'll gladly follow his lead. But if, as I suspect, he is a murderer...

We must know if we can trust you. I hope you do not take it personally, sir Kilmister.

[K. Kilmister]

I will not enquire as to how to you obtained this knowledge.

Observation Sir Lennon, observation. And the fact that we share a room.
Good luck with your endeavour.


We must know if we can trust you. I hope you do not take it personally.

Trust me Sir Wakeman, I don't. The sooner the suspicion is cast off the better.

[V. Van Halen]

Good morning O. Osbourne, T. Tyler and U. Ulrich. One of you snores, so by the by, but it's no biggie. Nothing I'm going to be too worried about.

Well, Mr M Mercury, thank you for telling us who the occupants of your room are. is this an actual fact that one of them s'mores, or are you embellishing? If true, then tell us what room you are in and we can investigate yours to see what this little nugget of information you have revealed will lead us to...

[D. Dickinson]

Rooms - rooms!!! Dr. D. Dickinson has figured it all out! Dr. D. Dickinson is quite exited! What if the killer is not in a room?! What if the killer is somebody who is in actuality not even booked into the hotel!

It is time for a roll call!
Dr. D. Dickinson, G. Gramm, N. Nicks (wherever he may have dissapeared to), Y. Young are all booked into room F!

[Chippit]

Dining Room: 3
F. Fogerty: 1
K. Kilmister: 1
M. Mercury: 1
P. Plant: 1
Storage: 1

K. Kilmister was voted for first and would be selected for the second action, as it stands.

3 hours remain.

Ooh, turns out I missed votes from this page when counting, do ignore these counts.

[U. Ulrich]

I want to check out the dining room. something is fishie there...

[T. Tyler]

I was also wondering, has anyone tried to wear the pendant that we found? With such strange things afoot, maybe we should see what properties it possesses...

EDITED to remove daftness.

[K. Kilmister]

So we can both investigate a room AND investigate a person? Well I'll be damned.

In addition to my earlier vote for storage, I vote that we investigate K. Kilmister
and be done with it.

I was also wondering, has anyone tried to wear the pendant that we found? With such strange things afoot, maybe we should see what properties it possesses...

Don't be daft Mr Tyler, there are no special properties associated with the pendant, or are you one of those folk who believe in mysterious things. You may also only choose between a detention or an investigation, the top two choices of the group will be carried out.

[S. Scholz]

So we can both investigate a room AND investigate a person? Well I'll be damned.

In addition to my earlier vote for storage, I vote that we investigate K. Kilmister
and be done with it.

I was also wondering, has anyone tried to wear the pendant that we found? With such strange things afoot, maybe we should see what properties it possesses...

no Mr. Tyler that is not quite correct, as a group we have sufficient people for two actions, but each individual can only choose one.

Edit: it seems Mr Kilmister is built for speed and got there before me

[L. Lennon]

So we can both investigate a room AND investigate a person? Well I'll be damned.

No, my good man. Each individual can still only vote for one person or one location. As a group however, we end up voting for two things. I beseech you to reread the instructions, as well as the post made by Kharrak on page 6.

[V. Van Halen]

Dr. D. Dickinson seems to be suffering from a splitting headache. Dr. D. Dickinson can accuse none other than K. Kilmister for inducing said headache.

Could Dr Dickinson explain what happened to him, and how he knows Mr K Kilmeister was responsible? Although if we keep our investigation on Mr K Kilmeister, then we will have information either way. Either Mr K is a bad person, or he is revealed to be innocent and MR Dickinson has a lot of explaining to do.


Rooms - rooms!!! Dr. D. Dickinson has figured it all out! Dr. D. Dickinson is quite exited! What if the killer is not in a room?! What if the killer is somebody who is in actuality not even booked into the hotel!

Now I do like this idea....

[D. Dickinson]

Dr. D. Dickinson is concerned that Dr. D. Dickinson's observation has not gained much praise. Dr. D. Dickinson contemplates the possiblity of conspiracy.

[L. Lennon]

Nevermind this. Silly forum

[J. Jackson]

We gonna investigate the scene of the crime, that thar Dining room goddamnit

[D. Dickinson]

Could Dr Dickinson explain what happened to him, and how he knows Mr K Kilmeister was responsible? Although if we keep our investigation on Mr K Kilmeister, then we will have information either way. Either Mr K is a bad person, or he is revealed to be innocent and MR Dickinson has a lot of explaining to do.
Dr. D. Dickinson was just saying that Mr. K. Kilmister is speaking too much like a politician and thereby hurting Dr. D. Dickinson's head.

[T. Tyler]

Thank you, I shall edit my opinion accordingly.

@K: What has transpired today has made me a little crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy. But it's not beyond the realm of possibility that something more than we are used to is transpiring here...

[J. Jackson]

Yeyeah, that's it! This peasant told me that when they caught the leader of one of the cults, some bastard named Vii, He was found with a moon pendant, a pendant that looks exactly the same as the one we found in the hallway. ya think there be a connection?

Have None of Ya'll crackerjacks even considered what I've said. I'm pretty sure that theres a connection between that moon pendant and what Happened in the town of Nagia. There be a cult afoot.

[L. Lennon]

@K: What has transpired today has made me a little crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy. But it's not beyond the realm of possibility that something more than we are used to is transpiring here...

Do not come here with those tendencies. Those NAGIAN tendencies.

Same goes for you Mr. Jackson.

[I. Iha]

I guess it would be nice to know that I have at least one trustworthy person in my room. I hope you don't take this personally, Mr Kilmister?


Let me get that for you, my dear.

There's no harm in letting you serve me my drinks for a bit. Surprise me...

[J. Jackson]

Do not come here with those tendencies. Those NAGIAN tendencies.

Same goes for you Mr. Jackson.

That Kind of ignorance will be the death of us all, you poser fool.

[Chippit]

Currently leading:
Dining Room: 5
K. Kilmister: 4

2 and a half hours left.

[D. Dickinson]

Will no one but Dr. D. Dickinson list his room mates? If we can find the killer this way it will be over in a couple of hours!

[J. Jackson]

Yo, We have da ability to investigate 2 rooms at a time, someone needs to vote fir another room other than the dining room.

[S. Scholz]

Thank you, I shall edit my opinion accordingly.

@K: What has transpired today has made me a little crazy, crazy, baby, I go crazy. But it's not beyond the realm of possibility that something more than we are used to is transpiring here...

don't worry given the situation this is no surprise and I'm sure everyone can let it slide

[F. Fogerty]

Since I don't think we have the evidence to suspect anyone yet, I suggust that we search the storage room, as it is next to the dining room. The killer may have hidding there before the crime.

[B. Bonham]

In my absence you ruffians and Union-whores have done pretty well. The Dining room is a good place to continue our search, but my vote has to go into investigating K. Kilmister. I'm just thinking now, about that Moon pendant: I met a lady once and she was sure all that glitters is gold, is there any other datails on the pendant that we may be missing?

It has also come to my attention that I share a room with miss Rose. Hoorah.

[L. Lennon]

There's no harm in letting you serve me my drinks for a bit. Surprise me...

Ooh pretty! Keep 'em coming. I've seen this movie before; The busty blonde always dies in some spectacular fashion. I'd rather be completely ****ed than sober when that scene arrives.

[P. Plant]

Okay, so for my vote, I stick with Room A. May the winds of truth blow the seeds of discovery our way.

[Chippit]

I've been driving all night and my hand's wet on the wheel. It's cutoff time, and I'm not home late! Yay!

Stuff will happen shortly.

[C. Clapton]

Oh dear, My most sincere apologies in missing todays events. I over slept something fierce!

[K. Kilmister]

Oh dear, My most sincere apologies in missing todays events. I over slept something fierce!

You did not miss much Sir Clapton, it is merely decided that I be detained and that the Dining Hall be investigated. Nothing much of concern.

[Chippit]

17:00

“We’ve been sitting in this room for hours, but has anyone ever thought to actually, y’know, have a good look around?”

“An excellent plan, sir. And I vote we keep a close eye on Mr. Kilmister here while we do. Nobody let him out of your sight!”

A feeble wave of murmured agreement washed across the table and the ragtag band stood up, some taking up positions around Mr. Kilmister, bombarding him with questions and demanding to know his motives while the rest combed the room for clues.

After the intense (and often rude) interrogations were complete, the small band nodded to one another in satisfaction and joined the search, leaving the stunned man sitting at the table in confusion, too afraid to join or, indeed, too shocked to speak or even respond at all for a good 30 minutes.

The group reconvened at the foot of the table shortly thereafter, and rather dejectedly, with no finds of importance to share.

“That said, though, I did notice something out of place. I mean, beside the fact that the body of Miss Aimee’s vanished completely, I don’t see any smeared blood or other signs that the body was dragged or carried away. It’s like the corpse just got up and walked away.”

“And did you notice the blood’s already dry? Does it usually dry so fast, and isn’t it supposed to go brown when it does?

“Also, I hate that damn clock.”

“What’s wrong with the clock? It’s a classic sign of opulence. Tailored suits, chauffeured cars, fine hotels and big cigars, y’know?”

“Shut up.”

Other guests quickly stepped up to defuse the argument, and everyone reassumed their seat at the table to discuss their next course of action, the two guests involved eyeing one another suspicious. Once everyone was settled, it became apparent that two spot were now unoccupied. Miss I. Iha was not present.

K. Kilmister cannot vote for an action next turn. Which begins right now

[G. Gramm]

Sorry for my absence over the last hour or so. I took a walk around the garden. I find thunderstorms to be quite cleansing for the body and mind.

[V. Van Halen]

Well this is a rather sad turn for the books. Not only are we now missing the vivacious Miss I, it appears she was a he....

[Chippit]

Well this is a rather sad turn for the books. Not only are we now missing the vivacious Miss I, it appears she was a he....

I don't know what you're talking about.

[W. Wakeman]

Mr I. Iha was not present.

Mr? Well I never...

[Chippit]

Mr? Well I never...

I don't know what you're talking about either.

[V. Van Halen]

Well this is a rather sad turn for the books. Not only are we now missing the vivacious Miss I, it appears she was a he....

Or perhaps not, due to some canonical editing....

[W. Wakeman]

*coughs* Sorry, what was I saying?

[I. Iha]

Well this is a rather sad turn for the books. Not only are we now missing the vivacious Miss I, it appears she was a he....

The mistake has been rectified. I can assure you that I was a full blooded woman ;)

[Chippit]

*coughs* Sorry, what was I saying?

I don't know. What were you saying?

Look, a three-headed monkey!

[K. Kilmister]

I hope that this interrogation has convinced you all of my innocence. I am quite disappointed by the harsh and degrading questioning techniques used, but is to be expected from such a frightened group.

Sir Lennon, I am sorry for the loss of the only woman you had shown any interest to, have a drink on my tab, as many as you like. On the note of the strange disappearance of Miss Aimee's body, the only theory I have at this time is of the possibility that Miss Aimee might not be as dead as a certain Doctor D. Dickinson made us believe. Maybe she was in cahoots with our killer?

[V. Van Halen]

It seems the stress of all these closed doors and mysterious disappearances has blighted my vision, Mr Chippit... Well then, to the task at hand. Why would Mr N and Miss I have been removed from our company? Were they making our rather capricious host and his henchmen feeling nervous? Perhaps it would behove us to glance at their conversations again to see why they would have been removed from our company|?

It is interesting that the Mr Dickinson who always refers to himself in the third person did make it a somewhat lubricated path to you being detained by referring to a headache that you had ostensibly given him.

[P. Plant]

I find it distressing that two of us simpy disappear without a trace, and seemingly, without a struggle. Something tells me these two disappearances aren't linked to the murder earlier. It is indeed strange and distressing. Now excuse me, I find myself greatly in need of the company of some plants. If anybody comes looking for me, I shall be in the entrance hall observing the ferns.

I apologise for my mistrust of you, good sir. I rest my wellbeing in your hands as the first person we know to be trustworthy for sure.

I must agree there, although I cannot imagine what good this would do him if he is the murderer. Detaining Kilmister did nothing more than waste time. Unless that was his aim all along...

[Z. Zappa]

I'm going with my instincts on this one. I think we should investigate the Suite B room, right above the Dining hall.
It would be wise if you all should join me.

[J. Jackson]

GODAAAAAMN!! My own roommate gone and that hoe was damn fine too... although there was that one time I accidently walked in on her peeing standing up...

Thank you, good sir Kilmister. On behalf of the group I'd like to apologise for our rash judgement and ill treatment towards you. You have stepped up as a leader in these times of sorrow.
I can assure you, I am determined to find the real culprit. With no fair dame left to charm, my full attention has turned towards investigating these heinous acts. Where has Fogerty disappeared to?

There are ferns in the entrance hall?

This comments of yours makes me thirst for a good bottle of wine...Of course, the fact that we have at least one person confirmed as not being bad makes me able to sleep more comfortably.

Indeed. Wisdom doth reside in a large mustache.

[J. Jackson]

despite that fine ass hoes disapearance at least I can rest easy knowin my roommate Mr Kilmister is innocent. Now I suspect Mr Lennon, perhaps he killed MS Iha out of Lust, sick son of a-!!!

[L. Lennon]

I have made no comment on your disrespect thus far, but you are getting out of hand. Nevermind your juvenile manner of speech, you have made no contribution to this investigation whatsoever. The filth you spew from that mouth of yours has done nothing but aggravate the situation.

[K. Kilmister]

Sir Jackson, if we accuse everyone who has spoken to a victim before their death Mr Lennon and Mr Fogerty has to be detained. We need to follow our current course of action: Investigate one room and detain one person.
This is the fastest way to clear suspicious and to discover more clues. The obvious next room to search would be either Ms Iha (Room D) or Mr Nicks room. As for the next detainee, I have no suspicions yet.

[L. Lennon]

Mr. Zappa, acting upon 'instinct' is definitely not the best way to proceed. We must develop a systematic investigation (maybe tackling each room in order as mentioned before). What is your current opinion Sir Kilmister? I believe your leadership is immensely required, or things will spiral out of control, as in that awful Nagia village that everyone speaks of.

EDIT: Just read your post

[L. Lennon]

Gentlemen, I believe we have to reassess the situation. Our most recent investigation has revealed that Miss Aimee may not be deceased, as we have all assumed. The fake blood and missing 'corpse' means we can assume Aimee to be missing, and not deceased. So we have 3 victims missing, and none deceased. This begs the question, what are we searching for, gentlemen? We have no evidence that a murderer is among us. I smell conspiracy.

[L. Lennon]

^hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Kharrak]

Well that was silly of you :P

[Chippit]

Someone was going to do it.

[K. Kilmister]

...we have 3 victims missing, and none deceased. This begs the question, what are we searching for, gentlemen? We have no evidence that a murderer is among us. I smell conspiracy.

Interesting point you make Sir Lennon. It is but only a detail, there is still one or more among us committing these 'abductions'. The Mystery Room might hold the secret, but until we can find the key we cannot investigate it. Our only option is to search the rooms.

The people of Nagia used a very controversial technique for sifting through the masses for their cultists, a practice of random accusation. In the town people's lives were in danger, here only the bad guy is at risk. I propose we randomly accuse either Mr P. Plant, Dr. D. Dickinson or Sir J. Jackson.

[V. Van Halen]

Rooms, I think, will lead us somewhere.

How do you infer this? Mr K - I do have to ask, in case i did miss it - what room are you in?

[K. Kilmister]

How do you infer this? Mr K - I do have to ask, in case i did miss it - what room are you in?

I share Room D with Sir J. Jackson, L. Lennon and the missing Ms I. Iha.

[J. Jackson]

Boy, I have contributed more to this case than your cracker ass will ever know. I was the one who had recognised that pendant, it was the symbol for the cult of dawn. The drunk peasant from my dance tour showed me a picture of it and it looks exactly the same as the one we found in the hall.

The reason I suspect you, you ignorant crackerjack, is because as soon as I brought up cults, you were awful fast to dismiss the theory. Why do ya'll think that is? Does Mr Lennon perhaps have some agenda with this cult he wishes to keep secret?

To think while a conspiracy of murder and abduction occur aroind us, worry about my "juvenile" language, well if thats the case it seems your priorities be a bit juvenile themselves.

[V. Van Halen]

I share Room D with Sir J. Jackson, L. Lennon and the missing Ms I. Iha.

Then shall we focus on those who are reluctant to reveal what rooms they are in, and with whom?

[D. Dickinson]

Gentlemen. Dr. D. Dickinson is here to reveal something amazing. Dr. D. Dickinson have been granted some kind of detection abilities. These abilities tell Dr. D. Dickinson the inhabitants of the rooms, what exactly they mean Dr. D. Dickinson do not know - but that is why Dr. D. Dickinson needs all gentlemen dedicated to this puzzle.

So far Dr. D. Dickinson has the following information:
Room B: C. Clapton, E. Elliot, H. Hendrix, P. Plant
Room C: A. Anderson, F. Fogerty, V. Van Halen, W. Wakeman
Room F: Dr. D. Dickinson, G. Gramm, N. Nicks, Y. Young

Dr. D. Dickinson suspect some kind of alphabetical puzzle. It is important therefore that Dr. D. Dickinson and other gentlemen aquire as much information as possible about each room's inhabitants. Dr. D. Dickinson is still quietly confident that it might also mean that the murderer is not one of the gentlemen currently inhabiting a room.

Dr. D. Dickinson requests that should doubt arrise, that Dr. D. Dickinson is to be detained for the purpose of proving Dr. D. Dickinson's innocence and to further allow progress towards the end of this nightmare. Dr. D. Dickinson do not doubt that the killer might take Dr. D. Dickinson out in the process, but Dr. D. Dickinson is willing to take the risk.

[V. Van Halen]

Well that was silly of you :P


Someone was going to do it.

Did myself and guests miss something?

[S. Scholz]

I still maintain a healthy suspicion of Mr Fogerty, but I have also decided that perhaps we should arm ourselves with silverware.
N. Nicks is not as missing as we thought, my keen observations have detected him leaving secret messages.

as for Mr Kilmister's suggestions of random accusations, I agree but hope to reduce the chaos.
I put forward the suggestions of G. Gramm and D. Dickinson, both for much the same reason, I have observed them in secret messaging mode, at times where as a complete innocent the chances of having received a canonical secret message or message from the staff has been slim.

I also still strongly believe that we should detain F. Fogerty to help us understand how these clues work and what they might be telling us.

I'm reluctant to give out room info in case someone should use said info for nefarious means, but I shall relent, I share a room with R. Rose, Z. Zappa and B. Bonham we have been assigned room A

[J. Jackson]

By all means please search my own room,Room D for while I do not trust my roommate, Mr Lennon, mama didn't raise no fool who prosecute without evidence.

Just one thing: While searchin through my stuff, don't steal none o it.

[V. Van Halen]

You have only one roommate, Mr Jumping Jackson?

[W. Wakeman]

Perhaps we should approach searching the rooms in a more systematic manner? It'll make all of our jobs a lot easier. I propose we search Room A next.

[J. Jackson]

my other roommate Mr Kilmister has been proven innocent... for now, While my fourth Roommate, that sweet thang, Ms Iha has disapeared recently. That only leaves Mr Lennon of ambiguos judgement that I must be weary of.

If he does not agree in searching room D perhaps that confirms that Mr Lennon is hiding something.

I think Dr Dickinson is amazing. For revealing a lot. Seeing as Dr Dickonson MUST be bad. I doubt any of us innocent guests would be privy to all this information, especially as to who is who, in what rooms, and that ALL those in the rooms revealled by Dr **** are mpty of the bad people. In whatever respect, it seems Dr Dickonson being detained will offer a vast amount of information. Either he is right, or is information is corrupt.

Therefore - please detain D. Dickonson

[S. Scholz]

Might I suggest that perhaps searching the rooms in the wrong order might be detrimental, for starters we investigated the entrance hall first, this left plenty of time for the criminals or conspirators to clean up any damning evidence that may have been found in the dining hall, so I suggest we investigate room D.

moreover I'm adding Y. Young to the test a theory via detention list, why you ask, well for much the same reason as I believe F. Fogerty should be detained, this time it relates to the clock and this line "Tailored suits, chauffeured cars, fine hotels and big cigars"

of course I could be horribly wrong but until we detain one of these two there's no definitive way of telling if the clues represent such links or if they have deeper more sinister meanings.

My dear fellow, I do not understand a word you said! Would you kindly rephrase it?

[S. Scholz]

My dear fellow, I do not understand a word you said! Would you kindly rephrase it?

I guess I don't have much choice, if I'm to be heard.
I was suggesting that although on the surface searching the rooms in a systematic order from A onward might seem like a good idea it is most likely a bad idea.
I believe that the conspirators/criminals we are looking for are able to modify or erase evidence, as such by the time we reached a room of interest using the systematic method it may no longer be of interest, and I therefore propose we search the room of miss Iha now rather than later.

secondly, the clues we have obtained from our room searches have been tenuous at best, so to help us understand them better we should investigate their most superficial base meanings. In this case that would be to detain F. Fogerty or Y. Young, if either turns out to be a badguy(TM) we can then take the clues at face value (with reasonable results)
