Quiver he/him Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Woo-hoo! A doctor is displeased at his new neighbors, and takes drastic action as their foreign culture catches on. Storm light Archive
ThirdGen Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Nope. He is particularly intolerant of the crops they grow.
ThirdGen Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Poisonwood Bible? That looks like an interesting book, but no. The newcomers pride themselves on their adaptability and stoic nature.
ThirdGen Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 Invasion of the Body Snatchers? Don't you see, ccstat? You're next! You're next!! 1
ccstat he/him Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 A prisoner helps a wastrel overturn a high government official and insinuate himself with the governing family in exchange for his freedom.
Sarcasm she/her Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 A prisoner helps a wastrel overturn a high government official and insinuate himself with the governing family in exchange for his freedom. Um... this is definitely wrong, but worth a try. Inception?
ccstat he/him Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Not inception. The prisoner/slave offers to fulfill three tasks in pursuit of those goals, but only two are required.
ccstat he/him Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Aladdin?Can your friends pull this out of their little hats?(Yes) 1
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Hmm... This one is a bit classical A group of girls aren't getting enough Attention, so they convince their town to kill a bunch of old people.
Kobold King he/him Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Hmm... This one is a bit classical A group of girls aren't getting enough Attention, so they convince their town to kill a bunch of old people. The Salem witch trials? 1
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Well, kinda. They're the subject of the story I'm thinking of. So close, but no.
Kobold King he/him Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Well, kinda. They're the subject of the story I'm thinking of. So close, but no. I only know one story from that time, so... The Witch of Blackbird Pond?
Quiver he/him Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Hmm... This one is a bit classical A group of girls aren't getting enough Attention, so they convince their town to kill a bunch of old people. The Crucible?
Quiver he/him Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Correct. Hmm... A conman, a butler and a cop try to prevent diplomatic trade between two cultures by stealing the exports of one and declaring war on the other.
Delightful Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Hmm... A conman, a butler and a cop try to prevent diplomatic trade between two cultures by stealing the exports of one and declaring war on the other. This is simultaneously reminding me of The Lies of Locke Lamora and Artemis Fowl, but doesnt quite fit either .... Edited May 11, 2015 by Delightful
the Gleeman he/him Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I think it's Artemis Fowl, but Delightful would've got it first
ccstat he/him Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Yes, number two (or three? Been a while since i read those) with the batteries. Delightful gets the credit.
Delightful Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Oh of course. I'm thinking 'but who's the cop'. Sorry Holly . If it is Arty, I'm not sure if I should qualify as having guessed it.........I leave all that up to Quiv.
Quiver he/him Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Neither- though I was trying to come up with a good Artemis Fowl one. So...funny coincidence.
