It’s Christmas soon! The elves are getting the presents ready, Rudolph is preparing to lead his team out on his sleigh, and Santa has made his list and will soon be checking it twice.

But what’s this? Three dead elves! Oh no! The Mafia have infiltrated the North Pole and are going to try to steal Christmas! they must be stopped, and you are just the bunch of elves to do it.

If only it were that easy, though. There are more obstacles and impediments to having a Happy Xmas than you would have thought.

But you can do it! This is Xmas! We must have a happy ending!

On top of all this, someone has stolen my jangling hat. Motherfuckers.

Morning - busy Elf this morning so wont be able to talk much but i'm here and shocked at the evil invasion !

you nasty elf!!

Santa won't be happy at all....

Santa will understand that I'm testing the vote counter.

Three dead? THE HORROR.

Also, merry Christmas everyone! I'm getting a tree later. The lights went up early for everyone this year, didn't they? The recession is over; let's spend, spend, spend! I'm over £400 quid into my overdraft! Yay! FFS.

Merry Christmas!
Apart from the three dead elves, so sad...

All these killings are bad for my elf.

Three dead elves? What is this carnage?

Best bet back to work making presents.

Call the National Elf Service!

[Vote:Mr Russell Sprouts]

Oh Noes! Killings! Their bad for your health!
I hope we'll band together, not everyone for them s-elfs!

Why? We're 3 workers short! We need to step up production, pulling double shifts and whatnot.

Don't worry people it's christmas time, there's no need to be afraid

We're gonna need more votes.

It's elf and safety gone mad!

I knew there was something I forgot.

If we don't vote and let this day go on forever, is it a draw?

If we don't vote, we might miss the boat!
The choice was plain and is still, should we not vote, or should we kill?

Are you going to rhyme all the way through?

Grim, can't you magic us up a market research style voting widget?

Sure.

92% of ABC1 people think you should vote for Kov.

You can't argue with facts

I vote for Kov

T'was three weeks to Christmas, and in the North Pole,
There was a Mafia Don, the stupid arse-hole.
With the aid of his posse, his Not So Merry clan,
His aim to steal Christmas, a dastardly plan.
And not just the Don, he has help from a stooge,
A mean nasty dark elf, and that so and so, Scrooge!
Battling against them, to save Christmas Day,
Our heroes the elves, must come out and play.
Alongside our heroes, looking cold now, and blueish,
Our heartstrings director, the guy from John Lewis!
So now we sit tightly and watch all unfold,
Can the elves club together and leave Scrooge in the cold?

Just finished my morning shift, lots of concern at the factory about the deaths.
The latest recruits are feeling very nervous.

I think there should be an anti-vote for Bobby so that he cannot be lynched for that excellent poem.

But what if he's the Mafia Don throwing us off the scent?

You have to format it like:

[vote:KovacsC]

Exciting instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1413

but feel free to insert another name....

If he is then he has two lives, only one way to find out I guess?

sharp suit: 1 (gospvg)
mr russell sprouts: 1 (Cras Kringle)
nickachu: 1 (KovacsC)
kovacsc: 1 (Grim...)

Not voted: 14 (zaphod79, gazchap, silentnight, santanalian, bobbyaro, squirt, trooper, sdg, mr russell sprouts, nickachu, joans, davpaz, sharp suit, goddess jasmine)

With 18 players alive, 10 votes are required for a lynch, and 10 nolynch votes are required to not lynch anybody.
