Be Excellent To Each Other

Another day, another death. The screams are becoming routine. The scene is not. Dudley is found in his house, very dead, still wearing the tatters of his Costumed Vigilante uniform.

He's been lashed to a small table, face up, with his limbs tied to the table legs. LaceSensor gingerly prods the body. There is more neat stitchwork, this time around the throat; it looks like his throat has been opened up and then sewn back up again. Mr Dave, groaning a little as he bends over, points out there is way too much blood on the floor though... The Rev Owen, swallowing back bile, mutely nods to the mirror on the wall behind him, which he smashed back on day one. There aren't enough pieces of it. It seems that someone has cut open Dudley's throat, rammed broken glass in, sewn it back up, and made him drink a glass of water. He's then proceeded to vomit back up the broken glass, choke on the vomit, and swallow it all again. Cause of death could be blood loss or drowning in his own blood, it's really difficult to tell without a post-mortem.

But that's not all! There is a kidney dish under the table; he has a very neat "40" sutured onto his left cheek; and as with the last brutal murder, his incisor teeth are also missing. Finally, perhaps in commentary on his secret identity, his trigger finger has been amputated (and neatly sutured), and a teatowel has been tied around his head with two eyeholes neatly cut into it, in a crude approximation of a mask.

What now will become of his combined fancy dress and village counselling business? ("Costume 'nd village-aunty". He told you in the first post!)

Day III will end 5pm Thursday.

Bugger... there goes the Vigilante!

People, own up to your bites if you have received them!

Fucking hell how could we have missed that enormous hint from Dudders?

And Dudders- WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GIVE YOURSELF AWAY LIKE THAT YOU FOOL.

And: I've not been bitted.

Lord, I didn't break any mirrors! I just found them broken!

Also, I was not bitten last night.

::turns to face camera and points finger::

Were.... you?

So, anyone get bitten then?

JBR got it in the Dead Thread. Edit - sorry, not JBR, it was Plisskin. Credit to him.

Were you?

Right - we know the killer is faintly observant as they picke up on Dudders's hints, so that rules out 90% of us.

So what we do is work out who amongst us has a modicum of intelligence - and hang them.

I'm going to have to buy some monkey repellant if that screeching little bonobo doesn't bugger off.

Everything's always so obvious from in there.

vote:Comica... oh, wait.

No I wasn't bitten.

Okay - but are you clever? Do you read books 'n' that?

I wasn't bitten. 20, 40? Meaningless and intended to distract, do we think?

I think he was trying to tell us something here. Sorry Duds, I think we must all be stupid. Well, except for one of us...

Definitely not clever, no. I'd say pretty ordinary really.

But that still doesn't stop Russ being the sire, as we know the sire may have done nothing night 1.

That was to Joans.

Hang on - sorry. Have I missed a post from the monkey boy on what the Vig gets told if he tails someone? TEH ROOLZ are silent on the point [and coudl therefore do with updating, hint hint ][

I wasnt bitten either, surely with only one kill looking most likely like the SK there is a possibility of 2 bites today although I guess there could be none aswell.

Hmm. I accidentalyl noticed that KEvR and Craster are currently PM-ing.....

Quite right, that was (I presume) just Dudley telling us that Mr Russ did nothing on the first night.
The odds of Dudley happening to target the Sire on the first night while the Sire also decides to do nothing are probably quite low, but not impossible.

We don't seem to have any other deaths though, which suggests that the Sire didn't try to bite a protected role, so we're back to:
He bit someone that didn't want to own up to it
He got roleblocked, but there wasn't anyone that could have roleblocked him.
He had a night off.

If it was the first one, then there's most likely another Childe out there, otherwise we could have at least 2 bite victims out there today?
Help?

Okay then, today's questionnaire. I'll make it more simple this time.



There, that should do it.

No bites here.
*opens up green grocers*
Come on ladies, TWO INCH A POUND!

Do you ever make more than 50p on a transaction then?

He gets told if his block succeeded or not, i.e., whether his target tried to use a night action or not.

Updating the rules is a good idea I haven't yet made time for

In fact, if I was the Sire, and had been smart enough to not do anything the first night to sow distrust amongst the townies, but I knew that I had been tailed by the Vigilante... well, I certainly wouldn't mind the world knowing that I was watched all night doing nothing, would I?

Ah - and that's all?



Heh - quite understood.

Yes, but this is Mr Russ we're talking about. I don't think he's been that clever.

(Sorry, Mr Russ, but my belief in your transparency is what's convinced me that you're a townie, after your misstep on the first day.)

If they're PMing after the fact, you've possibly just outed the masons.

Could that not be:

a) Innocent PMing?
b) Masons?

Or could Mr Chris be lying?

OH - of course. Or they're Priests or whatever. OR VAMPIRES DISCUSSING HOW WELL THEY'VE DONE.

I'd have done a print screen thing but coudln't be arsed.

MAn, some peopel are super suspiciouis.

Judas Priests and Van Halens aren't allowed to talk outside the game.

Well considering everyone yesterday claimed they weren't bit, the non-appearance of one townie, plus now this "huddled talking" business.. [vote:KevR]

If I had anything to hide, I'd just hide my status. I'm not just playing MS today.

Mind you, Craster is a clever chap who could have figured out the CV thing. But that would make him the SK and therefore wouldn't be PMing anyone.

Hmmmmm.

Then they're vampires or masons.

Let's jkus t[retend I said nufink.

So you admit to other nefarious goings on then?

Is that a trace of a Transylvanian accent I hear there?

I wasn't bitten.
So we either have two people bitten or one person bitten twice.
And no Vigilante.

Or the vamps were roleblocked?

Or one person bitten once and one night without a bite.

[vote:Mr Chris]
Because you must have been in the PM area too, and using the PM system to that effect is bad, bad form.

I think I agree with you.

[vote:Mr Chris]

This is out-of-game information and shouldn't be relied on. I have already raised it with them privately (I worry about people cheating) and have told me it was nothing to do with the game, they were PMing other people. I'd advise you and all other players to disregard this. You should also keep in mind that I have had numerous rule clarification requests via PMing from people who don't want their suspicions to be made too public incase of reprisals.

Use of metadata like where people are on the site, login times, PM times, etc are strongly discouraged.

The "PM Area"? Eh? I was on the board user index.
