Good morning, fellow genteel detectives. My companion Cherry Baker has arrived, and she’s done a nice fry up for you young people, and a lovely porridge for the rest of us. Please do eat something, dears, because I’m afraid I have some terrible news. You will need fortification. Try to be brave.

Last night, we lost a child detective. Poor Angus McDonald. I tapped on his door this morning, just to make sure the poor dear wasn’t too frightened by last night’s events. When I didn’t receive any answer, I entered and was shocked to find Angus slumped over in an armchair. Of course, I immediately looked for a pulse, but I’m afraid I could not find one.

Not wanting to disturb anyone else’s rest, I sought the aid of St. Mary Mead’s finest, and only, physician.

He came quickly from surgery and determined that poor Angus was killed by strychnine in his evening chocolate.

This reminds me of a terrible Hallowe’en Party I heard of once. Of course, these murderers may not only be focused on killing children. None of you are safe, I’m sad to say.

Cup of tea?

Factions:

5 Murderers (Wolves)

14 Genteel Detectives (Town)

All of the Murderers will have roles that come with powers. Those roles are named, and the names are a clue as to the role and power assigned to each Murderer. When a Murderer is killed, I will reveal which role and power he or she was assigned to. I will not reveal the nature of that role/power.

The Murderer roles are:

Dr. James Sheppard
Justice Wargrave
Jane Wilkinson
Mrs Hubbard

Some Town have roles with powers and some do not and are simply vanilla town. These roles are named and the names are a clue as to the role and power assigned to the Town member who receives that role and power. When a Genteel Detective is killed, I will reveal which role and power he or she was assigned to, if any. I will not reveal the nature of that role/power.

The Town roles are:

Hercule Poirot
Chief Inspector Japp
Ariadne Oliver
Colonel Hastings
Tuppence Beresford
Mr. Quin
Parker Pyne
Miss Chadwick
Bob
General Rules:

The game is divided into Day and Night phases. During the Day, all players will meet in an open thread that I will post. By the end of the Day (called Twilight), decide on a player to vote for, if any. A player who receives a majority vote (or who has the most votes by Twilight) will be lynched.

During the Night, all players with powers will submit their night actions, if any, in their personal QTs. At the same time, the Murderers will meet in their own group QT to decide on a target for their Night kill.

Town’s goal is to eliminate all the Wolves. The Wolves’ goal is to eliminate Town, or reduce their numbers to the point where it becomes impossible for Town to eliminate the Wolves.

Please make at least five game-related comments per Day. Non-participation may get you lynched, or worse, replaced.

Only vote in the Vote Thread. No game-related chat after Twilight. And most importantly, NO EDITING POSTS FOR ANY REASON. In this game especially, it is verboten to change a post, even if you’ve made a spelling, grammar, or coding error. If you are caught editing a post, you will be mod-killed.

DAY TWO BEGINS NOW. DAY TWO ENDS AT 10:00 P.M. ON FRIDAY, JULY 27TH (EST), OR WHEN THERE IS A MAJORITY VOTE TO LYNCH.
