    End Night Six...

    Quinn slept peacefully in bed, pleasant thoughts swirling through his mind. Quietly, ever so quietly, his bedroom door squeaked open, and a man in a trench coat entered. He pulled out a gun and placed the barrel on Quinn's temple, grinning ear to ear. "I need to make this one quick and quiet, attracted a bit of attention yesterday, and Yeqon got on my case again - sorry little Quinny, we can't play together tonight."

    As the figure went to pull the trigger, a chair flew across the room and smashed into him, sending him flying into the closet, and a voice called out "Don't you dare touch my little brother!". Muttering a curse, the figure was back on his feet supernaturally fast and ran from the room. "Damn, that was close..."

    As he ran to his room, the little girl appeared again. "Naughty, Naughty, you didn't finish the job. I know who you are, little daemon, I know where you hide." She giggled again and broke out into rhyme.

    "Twinkle, twinkle, little demon,
    How I wish all could see him,
    Hiding so deeply in this guy
    When he knows both will die
    No matter how he plays
    No one leaves, and Everyone stays"

    Spinning around almost angelically, the little girl hops off into the darkness, rhyming as she goes.

    "Twinkle, twinkle in your eye,
    Who will be the next to die?
    Up above in my little head,
    Visions of who's next to be dead.
    Twinkle, twinkle in your eye,
    Who will be the next to die?"

    Bravo... bravo whoever stopped him.

    Ok, I have all the suspects still remaining. I have half of them analyzed. Results in the quicktopic.


    Nevermind, I have good leads that need to be made public.

    Take a closer look at Shlin's posting patterns.

    He has more smiley faces, blatant excuses, and abstain votes than anyone I've ever seen. He promises to do analyses which he doesn't do. He is very, very active, and has voted for nobody but the suspected innocent people so far. He's highly critical of me, and defensive of people that he cannot know if they are townies or not.

    I shall post the full accusation after I am done, unless something else catches.

    Glyphz, you're online and looking at this thread.

    I am not sure what the policy is on communicating outside the thread (busy atm, and I know I can post here) but I'd like your thoughts on the current situation.

    Analysis: I cannot detect scum from him. he's not lurking, hasn't been trying to control us, and is acting nearly the same as when he was in other games as townie.

    He is a veteran player and is familiar with my analysis patterns though. He could pull off a mafia role even with this posting pattern... but no system is foolproof and I need to question the others.

    As one of the guys who added design ideas to the game, Sigurd is acting more naive than he really is.
    An abstain vote at this point could be a townie move, or just trying to make himself appear townie. He wasn't a top suspect so he could afford extra caution. Sigurd knows more than he's letting on.

He has not been "away" in real life, he's been plenty active in Chicago as a mafia. I don't completely trust him, but his subterfuge about his posting habits could legitimately be based entirely off his mafia performance in Chicago.

    My question to you is, who would you feel most comfortable lynching for their behavior? The Total Lurker, who after Chicago, we should rightly lynch? The scummiest smelling player, Shlin? The potentially bluffing Sigurd? Or Andres, who smells the cleanest of them all, lynching him against all evidence and logic?



    Glyphz:

    Why do you feel you can coast through this game?

    After Chicago, I am supposed to override my feelings against Shlin and lynch your lurking butt on the spot. Thankfully, I am dead and cannot do squat.

    Won't deny that I hadn't been able to place as much attention in this game as I'd like. My apologies to town and to YLC.
    Still trying to get the gist of this game, and I do plan on trying to catch up (now that this is the remaining game that I'm active).
    But if town, deems my activity unacceptable, feel free to me off.

    You do know that after Chicago, it's my policy to insta-lynch anyone who even comes close to lurking as much as you.

    You have been totally worthless to the town (no offense, nothing personal), but you are a warm body and your hands are totally clean. It's just that I cannot fathom why you haven't even tried to do anything for us. I would ask you to do some work for us. Please look at Shlin, Andres, and Sigurd's posting behavior, activity, votes, etc and give me your opinion, at your convenience.

    If you'd like to drop out of the game, I would not hold it against you. But your non-contribution to the game cannot sit well with me. I feel Shlin is objectively more scummy but because you haven't done anything except post basically once a page (at 80ppp), I question your townie-ness.

    This may also be our last viable lynch. Waiting until the very end and then expecting us to be able to you off, means we have to gamble the entire game on you.

    I haven't detected clues that could lead to the conclusion that you are mafia, Glyphz. I am re-examining them now. That's points in your favor. The writeups seem to indicate Shlin28 numerous times.

    I swear though, I am prepared to throw entire games away just to lynch lurkers at this point, especially if you turn out to be the baddie.

    Seth Chao slept soundly in his room, completely oblivious to anything, and happily content. Unlike the others, he wasn't really all worried. So one guy went nuts and killed himself, happens all the time.

    "Yes, it does happen all the time."

    Seth bolted upright in his bed. He had always been a light sleeper, and the sound of someone coming into his room had awoken him.

    "Who's there?" Seth peered into the darkness, trying to find who had invaded his space.

    "Your judgment" Evil laughter split the night as someone leaped upon Seth and began choking the life from him. Seth struggled against his attacker, but he was to weak, and his attacker far to strong, inhumanly strong. After about a minute, the light faded from Seth's eyes...

    When Seth Chao was found in the morning, his eyes were open and glazed, staring into nothingness, and his skin was pale and white as his sheets, as if he died from fright instead...

I wish to enjoy myself!” Mr.Taka was seized by fear and ran to the giant double doors that lead into the library, but as he got within inches of them, the doors slammed shut in his face, knocking him backwards and onto his back. “Oh, Mr.Taka you are a treat! I'll just play with you a bit longer!”

    Suddenly, the doors burst open once more, accompanied by a man shrouded in pure light, as if the evil in the air where being lit on fire by his presence. “You will do no such thing! Begone scourge of the night! No more with your nonsense! BEGONE!” And with that, Mr.Taka's attacker ran from the room, screaming in agony, as he himself was on fire...

    So I guess no one slept soundly after all, especially after what happened near dawn. A sudden cry out into the night was heard. It sounded eerily like Terrell, and after the cry ended, it felt like Terrell was gone forever.

    "Oh, I have waited TOO long for this! No more lurking everywhere! Finally, some action! Lets play ATPG, lets have some fun! First one to scream wins!"

    The shadow took the form of a Steppe Warrior with a long spear in his hand. "My curse shall strike again! Bwahaaha!" The shadow slammed the spear into ATPG right leg, and ATPG, never having to deal with any form of pain, screamed.

    "Scream for me! Scream for me ATPG! Muaahhahaa! How sweet your cries!" Again, the shadow slammed the spear into ATPG, slicing open the left leg. Again, ATPG cried out. "Yell, scream, holler, writhe, no one will come!"

    The shadow slammed the spear again into both of ATPG's arms in quick succession. The shadow leaned downward. "You actually think you can find me? You truly believe you will stop me? I am that which is hidden until all is gone, I am that which knows all and helps all, until the time my knife finds your back when you are of no more use to me! FOR THE HORDE! SEE YOU IN THE AFTERLIFE ATPG!"

    When everyone had finally managed to get to ATPG's room, they found his body ripped open, his skin flayed off and arranged in an artful pattern upon the floor - the symbol for "Fool".

    When he knows both will die
    No matter how he plays
    No one leaves, and Everyone stays"

    Spinning around almost angelically, the little girl hops off into the darkness, rhyming as she goes.

    "Twinkle, twinkle in your eye,
    Who will be the next to die?
    Up above in my little head,
    Visions of who's next to be dead.
    Twinkle, twinkle in your eye,
    Who will be the next to die?"
