Good morning, fellow genteel detectives. With the murder of three remaining guests overnight, it appears that we are reaching the inevitable denouement of this piece.

This morning, I found Darlington Bexley Goatsborough in the folly out back, his poor head bashed in by what appeared to be a statute of a strange man. Upon further investigation, I believe it was a statute of one Colonel Mustard, the leader of Nollop.

Then, quite aflutter, I found Columbo at the dining room table, a bottle of whisky open in front of him. And what did I smell in that whiskey? Nothing! But I’m fairly sure he died of arsenic poisoning nonetheless. There were telltale signs.

Finally, I ran across poor Detective Medusa, dead in the swimming pool. It appears that the, um, snakes, were fed a concoction of nicotine water, from which the poison spread to Medusa and thereupon Medusa died.

Someone give me some tea.

Goat has died. Goat was a MURDERER and MRS. HUBBARD.

Captain Video has died. Captain Video was TOWN and FELICITY LEMON.

Lovely Bones has died. Lovely Bones was TOWN and CHIEF INSPECTOR JAPP.

Factions:

1 Murderers (Wolves)

9 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. Please do not change any 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 FIVE BEGINS NOW. DAY FIVE ENDS AT 5:00 P.M. ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1ST(EST), OR WHEN THERE IS A MAJORITY VOTE TO LYNCH.
