Nevill I could support any of your three choices at this stage.
Prior to my post Grimgravy posted he would support my accusations to have someone hanged, which is why I requested his aid when I made the choice.

This makes more obvious you and he are partner, you know? He voted exactly the 3 person(and you, funny after he said he could support any of your choices). No one anymore. :M

The logic makes no sense.

Even if Nevill is Innocent, Grimgravy is quite suspicious.
He is suspicious because clearly I am a suspect from Day 1 (in your books) and we are thinking similarly on certain matters. That makes him my accomplice.

But he is still suspicious even if I am innocent, even though the basis for the accusations is not there anymore in this case.

Grimgravy accused me AND Nevill, to not make it obvious he wanted to accused me. He did the right thing here, people are suspecting me, not Nevill, so Nevill was safe.
No one was voting you, man. Not until you started to lash out at people.

Why would anyone want you accused when there are better targets available (a bear named spigot and Jim the Dinosaur - they can't both be murderers.)

Making a rundown of my suspicisions (As to why they are possible the killer)

- It could be Jim the Dinosaur because he got a bit too defensive there when accused and he's taking a more observing approach (imo)
- Ditto about the defensive part (here stronger) on a bear named spigot. The main thing holding me back is that its probably just his personality
- Corporate Jew Master because the jews did this. Seriously though, he could be taking a wait and see approach.
- Grimgravy is the most suspicious (imo) from posting style alone. I also have the gut feeling here. In which case I actually fear he might be the priest so I'm hesitant

Which brings me to the big one

- Viata and Neville. The two most outspoken here. I have the following three theories

- It's either Neville or Viata both trying individually to make themselves stand out soo much that a *It would be too obvious* sense appears.
- They are both working together and this entire thing is scripted.
- None of them are the killers and both are just trying to honestly play the game.

It's hard and I'm not sure. Today at least I will still support the majority vote.

Well, that's what I mean. I was being suspicious before Grimgravy voted me.

I vote for the second, while I still think Nevill did it(with the Jews). :smug:

Hehe. I'm curious as to what is suspicious about my posting style. I'm not saying it's not. Maybe I'm incredibly shady and just don't know it. If only I could parley that into real life...
Now, if I don't survive the night and can't say it later, please people, don't bandwagon the next lynching.

if nobody withdraws their vote for Jim the Dinosaur , he will be hanged in 1.5 hours.

The "innocents" - a clever euphemism for a rabid lynchmob of yokels foaming at the mouth - burst open the door to Jim's trailer home an hour prior to his eventual lynching.

"Get yr ass over here 'n get ready to get yr ass extinct, hyuk, hyuk", Taxalot shouts as the rest of the mob piles in.

"Looks like the dino's done flown the coop fellas!" Duraframe laments as he bowls over a coffee table.

Viata picks up a piece of paper tossed from the table "he's left us a goodbye message".

"Well read it out loud you jackass". "Give me a minute damnit, he can't write well with his tiny arms".

Farewell gentlemen, I left you a parting gift in the fridge

As Nevill opens the fridge, Taxalot suddenly realizes their predicament but shouts out to no avail.

*Click*

The trailer home explodes in a fiery ball of flame as Jim is seen in the distance putting on a pair of killer shades before stepping into his convertible and driving off.

Jim the Dinosaur wakes up and opens his eyes. At first, he can't tell if his eyes are open or not, but he can make out moving shapes behind the black fabric bag that's tied over his head. Viata opens the cassette player and presses play. Hooked On A Feeling by Blue Swede begins to play. The remaining codexers start chanting to the music, dressed in tribal loincloths with cosmoline smeared on their chests.

Jim struggles to move his arms and legs, but realizes that he's buried elbow deep in dirt. Duraframe, face smeared with ketchup proclaims: "LET HE WHO HAS DECENT TASTE IN RPGS CAST THE FIRST STONE!". Taxalot, Nevill, Spigot, Grimgravy, CJM, and Viata begin to throw old mice, keyboards, windows installation floppy disks and other computer peripherals at the defenseless dinosaur.

As the song fades out, Duraframe wipes his brow, smearing more ketchup on his forehead and eyebrows. He picks up the black bag over Jims head, and clumps of hair, skull and brain matter plop out onto the ground. The ghost of Jim the Dinosaur ascends to the heavens, but not before informing his killers:

"I was innocent you bickering dumbasses."


Night has begun. The killers and priest will PM me their actions.

I don't even like Ketchup.

Also huh, but not surprising (As I said, completly lacked the gut feeling). But now the whole thing gets interesting (if I live to see it)

Well, I knew he was innocent. Now I'll either be killed or they'll leave me alive so people think I'm the killer.

Would be strange framing you before I know if you are even alive...

Haha! I fully expect to wake up dead. 2/5 odds at this point. But regardless, this has been fun.
