Raven walked around the edges of the ballroom. She had hoped to enter a less popular room, but it seems others had the same idea. It was getting a bit crowded. Luckily, there was a high ceiling. If she became too crowded, she could just fly to get away. People were overrated, really.

As she walked, Raven kept an eye out for anyone suspicious. Most people seemed just as confused as she. It had been quiet for a while, which made Raven more unnerved. Thinking back to her own past, whenever she didn't kill someone immediately, it was because she had something even worse planned. What were these 'righteous rulers' planning? Would they leave her alone? Or would they target her for forsaking her evil ways?

-----

It's time for me to cast a vote. As I said before, it's possible the elims weren't on/active near the end of the cycle since they missed submitting a kill. For no, I'll tentatively clear Mr. Doctor, Kidpen, Sart, and myself. I'm also going to include Devotary, though their last-minute vote post makes me a bit suspicious. From past games, that tends to be a habit of theirs when they're elim. However, I don't think I've played many games with Devotary when they aren't elim, so that could be their normal style.

I'm going to place my vote on Shqueeves. @Shqueeves was here C1, said they became busy, and never showed up last cycle.

Hello y'all, I'm back! Sorry for not getting on earlier, I was spending time with friends basically non-stop for the past two days. That said, I would like to do two things. The first is Deathclutch and the second is point out that even though one of the main mechanics in this game is moving rooms there have been a grand total of three movements amongst 17(Well, 15 now) of us. Also, are we just going to ignore the death of YoungBard? @BrightnessRadiantare we able to target spectators?

Deathclutch hasn't shown up at all since the game began, and is thus a fair candidate to be on a team of largely inactive elims. The players who posted cycle one when Crimsn was attacked but didn't participate cycle two when no kill occurred are Shqueeves, Droughtbringer, and Xinoehp. If the elim team is largely inactive, all three are reasonable candidates to have put in the kill on Crimsn except for the fact that none of them started in the kitchen, meaning they could only have attacked Crimsn if they were phasers. Of the players that did start in the kitchen and were in a position to attack Crimsn cycle 1, Kidpen and Itiah both posted close enough to rollover that they probably would have put in a kill if the rest of their team was inactive, while Snipexe posted about nine hours before rollover and might not have. @BrightnessRadiant, would it have been legal for Crimsn to attack herself? If so, that's another kitchen candidate who missed the end of cycle.

Edit: Itiah died as a Democrat, so he definitely wasn't the one to attack Crimsn.

Sir Sabien Ash flung open the doors of the Ballroom.

“This place,” he proclaimed to the room, “is impossible to navigate! Apologies, my dear friends. I had hoped to visit earlier, but this hotel is like a maze sometimes, worse still when the authorities glare at me.”

The thin man shook his head and walked into the room, still speaking regardless of who was listening. “Why, it’s almost as if asking whether I can take the wolf-mutant home with me is a crime in and of itself! So what if a man wants something exotic to spice up his pantry?”

Sabien Ash strode into the ballroom, nodding to Raven and Colonel Ketchup.

“I say, Ketchup,” he said, approaching the military man. “What sauce would a man of condiments recommend for a rather gamey side of canine?”


@Devotary of Spontaneity That doesn’t really make much sense. You’re saying that Shqueeves, Drought, or Xinohep could be an Elim because they were around in C1 but not C2, but as you say they weren’t in the right room. And then you bring up suspicions of the others in the kitchen, which is pretty separate to the previous three.

This feels like you’re trying to arrive at conclusions before the process. Could you please explain a bit clearer what you mean? Otherwise it just looks like you’re throwing suspicion around. I think it's reasonable that Shqueeves, Xino, or Drought could be a Phaser if you're correct. Maybe I need to reread your post, but I also wanted to say something this Cycle. We can continue this after rollover.

 

I don’t like the idea of voting for inactives. I’ve made my stance pretty clear on the fact that I don’t like lynching people for silence. However, I don’t think that Deathclutch has said anything so far, I don’t feel so bad because I don’t know if they have the potential to be active. That’s usually why I don’t vote for inactives. But in this case there's no real reason to not vote, since this is pretty unanimous.

As much as I don’t like this vote, Deathclutch. Also, @Gancho Libre hasn’t shown up this Cycle or justified their actions from last Cycle. What are everyone’s thoughts on that?

 

Sorry about the late posts and votes twice in a row. I'm really busy with university right now.

                    Cycle 4

   The Ballroom of the Grand Peacock was the centerpiece of the hotel. A magnificent display of color, grandeur, and beauty. An ivory piano, a dazzling dancefloor, and a beautiful chandelier were some of the many pieces that made the room so elegant.

  Many of the hotel's occupants had gathered here for the evening. Despite the beauty of it, an air of tension hung over the room.

  Colonel Ketchup had given up waiting for his guests to arrive, knowing they probably wouldn't be allowed admittance now that the hotel had become an investigation.

  He noticed the epic, Raven, enter the room. Perhaps an epic would be an even more advantageous match than the daughter of Colonel Mustard. He sauntered over and asked her to dance and to his surprise she agreed.

  That seemed to break some of the tension in the room and the others began to move about and enjoy themselves.

  Sir Sabien took a seat at the piano, Señor Shqueeves and Bro Biege took up a lively conversation, and Mega decided to relax in the corner and read.

  Commodore Clutch wandered into the room from the Dining area and seated himself in a comfortable chair, noticing an open book on the table near him. “The Raven”, the page title read.

  “Ever heard this poem?” The Commodore addressed Mega reading in the corner.

  “I don't believe so.”

  “It’s quite good, here, let me read a bit to you.”

  Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
   While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
           Only this and nothing more.”

   The Commodore’s words reached Raven's ears as she waltzed around the room. Memories flashed through her mind, things she’d thought to have long forgotten. Fears she'd hoped to never feel again. The poem's words bringing back images in her mind. Death. Blood. A field of ravens picking flesh from fallen bodies. A trembling child, weeping in the arms of a stranger.

    …”Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
“Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,” I said, “art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!”...

  Raven snapped back to her senses and realized the Commodore was still reading.

  “Stop!”

... “Quoth the Raven

“Nevermore.”

 The chandelier fell from the ceiling. Raven was dead.

____________________________

   “I didn't know the poem was her weakness?!”

  The Commodore sat in his chair, head in his hands, Sergeant Salmon looming over him.

  “Oh so you just happened to pick that particular poem and just happened to be carrying around a knife exactly like the one that killed Governor Green??”

  The Commodore paled. “Yes?”

  Salmon snorted. “Okay pal, I'm sending you to headquarters. They'll sort through this down there.”

  He tapped his mobile and brought it to life. “Inspector Indigo, when you're quite finished making another coffee run, would you please get yourself in here and escort this man to headquarters?”

_______________________________

   The Ballroom lights flickered softly as a dark figure moved into the doorway. Sergeant Salmon stopped talking and immediately snapped to attention.

  “Chief? I thought you were going to let me handle this case?” A young woman strode into the room, her dark hair streaked through with lines of white in places and her expression unreadable. Reaching her hand out just slightly, the lights in the room became steady again. Chief Chartreuse looked at the body lying on the floor and back to Sergeant Salmon.

  “That was before the murders got out of hand, Sergeant.” She spoke cooly and evenly, reaching her hand out and motioning for the Sergeant to hand her the evidence bag with the new note from the Rightful Rulers inside. They'd found it tucked inside the book's pages.

  “Close this room while we search for further evidence. I don't want anyone going in or out who isn't a member of the police force.”

Something does seem off about Devotary’s last minute post against Itiah, especially considering that they hadn’t posted at all

Edit: I missed their last post, so ignore what is written above. I agree with their suspicions of Kidpen

Sabien Ash strode into the ballroom, nodding to Raven and Colonel Ketchup.

“I say, Ketchup,” he said, approaching the military man. “What sauce would a man of condiments recommend for a rather gamey side of canine?”

 

"A gamey side of canine' eh?  I'd recommend a steak sauce blended with Worcestershire. Of course, though if you prefer something more sweet, try a teriyaki sauce mixed with a bit of Honey."

Colonel Ketchup was in the dining room now, so he walked over to the table, where, conveniently, there were all of these ingredients. He mixed the two suggestions up, and placed them in separate serving bowls, then he brought them up to Sabien Ash.

"I would try these"

Anyway, Sorry for inactivity. I'm back now, and should be more active for a couple of days.

Anyway, unfortunately, I still don't have much read on anyone, so I'll put a gut read on xinoehp for now, at least until there is more discussion generated.

Bro Beige walked in circles around the dining room table. He had observed the other...guests, hadn't he? He was quite skilled in detecting deception, wasn't he?

~~~~~~~

I read through the posts of the last cycle, and apparently yall want me to add more reasons for my votes?

Unfortunately, I can find very little actual proof other than my subconscious detecting possible signs of forced casualness or deception.

Thus, I vote Snipexe. Yall can feel free to take my vote with a grain of sand, but it's what I'm feelin this cycle.

Hey everyone sorry for being away. I've had a quick look at the previous cycles and Ihave a few quick thoughts.

 I have slight suspicions on Sart for using the mobile dropping PMs as logic for voting me. But it didn't seem like he we pushing it much so I'm not sure whether it's an elim trying to start something or a villager just trying to see what happens. So I want to see more posts from Sart before I make any firm conclusions about him.

This vote on xinoehp is solely for his opening post today which just sounds like someone wanting other people to do the work of voting on Devotary without being involved themselves. 

I remembr a few posts from Gancho. His post above mine feels sincere. He's not trying to convince other people and going by gut. Lean villager here.

Hopefully, I can come back later and do some more analysis.

Sir Sabien took the bowls from Ketchup and examined each of them. He lifted the steak sauce to his thin nose, inhaling the rich scent deeply and savouring it for a moment. Then he smelled the teriyaki, enjoying the tangy sweet smell. 

"I think that these are excellent options," Sabien said with a smile. Then his gaze turned flat for a moment as he looked into Ketchup's eyes. "I do hope that you're not trying to poison me, Colonel."

The cold look in his eyes lasted for a moment before Sabien's lipless grin returned. "Don't worry, friend. I trust that your culinary abilities will not upset my constitution all too much."

The thin man dipped a finger into one bowl and tasted it, then into the other. He smacked his lips and nodded. "Most excellent concoctions, Colonel. I'm sure that they will pair excellently. Now, all I need to do is procure the body from the police and I can prepare a feast fit for a king. How would you go about stealing a mutant corpse away from the police?"

-----------

I won't be super active this Cycle, sorry. I have a presentation for university and so I'll be working on that until rollover. I will be able to pop in now and again, but don't expect any huge analysis.

I do want to go over the items and powers and see if I can figure out the distribution so we can guess what everyone has.

And yet the vast majority of his posts have been votes without much reasoning. I prefer it when people provide some justification, however shaky, to their votes. Otherwise the only thing that we can analyse is a voting pattern, and that's much harder than looking at posts. A good Villager should be helping people trust them, and Gancho isn't doing that. That behaviour is anti-Village unless he has some scheme to bait the Elims, but I'm not going to trust that. People who act weirdly in all games to hide their roles are not the sort of people that I'll ever clear for acting consistently. It just seems too risky.

Wait... you'd prefer if I supplied a reason... which I did... 'HOWEVER SHAKY IT MAY BE'...

What in the world? You realize I just acknowledged my tendency to guess randomly (I'm somewhat new to these) and I told people to feel free to disregard my votes?

Hmm...

Also, what kinda villager is gonna encourage trusting people who could potentially be elims?

I'm sorry if I sound harsh, I'm just trying to explain my view. :)

This is true. Gancho's play style has always seemed to be very dissonant. there is nothing wrong with that playstyle, but it is different than most people's playstyle, so it's often accused of being elimey. 

I think that I've been able to determine that this is Gancho's normal style, So while that doesn't clear him of being elim, the way he is playing is not suggestive of him being so.

Mr. Doctor from last cycle:

That doesn’t really make much sense. You’re saying that Shqueeves, Drought, or Xinohep could be an Elim because they were around in C1 but not C2, but as you say they weren’t in the right room.

We can continue this after rollover.

The two groups of suspects (those around cycle 1 but not cycle 2 and the players who began in the kitchen) are separate, and I should have included a paragraph break between them. They're part of two different scenarios; the former being a hypothesis that the elim team was inactive cycle 2, which necessitates a phaser, and the latter supposing that the elim team was unable to reach a consensus regarding their target and then weren't around for rollover. Of the five survivors from the two lists, all of them except @Droughtbringer posted during cycle 3.

Has @Gancho Libre played any games other than QF 32? If not, it seems hasty to assume that this is his normal play style. 

Vote Tally:
Kidpen(1): Snipexe
Xinoehp(2): CadCom, Megasif
Snipexe(1): Gancho Libre

All three of these players are on my suspect list, so I'll have to go back and look through their posts and interactions. I'll probably end up making yet another last hour vote.

I am confused as to what all is going on.

Stuff has come up that has required almost all of my attention, but now I will hopefully have time to participate a bit more.

By the morning tomorrow I am hoping to have read through the entire thread and comment on anything interesting.

Why was I pinged?

Is the cycle clock frozen for anyone else?

Hmmm apparently it is. Game ends at 10 PM CST in case anyone needs to check the time. I'm not sure why the timers aren't working. Even tried replacing it.

Cause I don't want to convert....

How long from now?

Replacing it seems to have reset it, but it's frozen on my end as well

@xinoehp512 Have you had much chance to think about why you seem to distrust Devotary?

I'm not overly suspicious of anyone atm, so I shall abstain from voting this cycle.
