It's better to wake up dead than be killed by wolves in sheep's clothing. :prosper:

It is night. taxalot lights all the candles in the bathroom and turns off the lights. He slips into his tub, relaxing to the soothing voice of Enya. Rose petals and a rubber ducky float in the water.

His deep relaxation is suddenly interrupted by the sound of clattering and banging coming from the hallway. Taxalot yells "Hey! This is a private, residence, man!". The intruder turns his head and begins walking towards Taxalot.

"Wait a minute, aren't you-"

Taxalot is interrupted mid sentence by a brutal headbutt to the mouth, splitting his lip and breaking his front teeth. He feels himself being pulled down into the water.

Taxalot tries to breathe, but bath bubbles and soapy water flood into his nostrils, making him gag harder. Water sloshes out of the tub as he struggles to survive, but the hands pushing him down are just too strong.

As he takes his last gasp of bathwater, one last thought goes through Taxalots dying brain: "Who will take care of my porn collection..."

---------------

Grimgravy wakes up looking at an unfamiliar ceiling. His hands and legs are bound tight by zip ties. Quality cable management right there. The chandelier above him looks familiar, it's the codex manor dining rooms...

As his eyes adjust to the darkness, he sees a silhouette leering down from above, holding a large carving knife.

*You're awake? Well I'm not quite finished yet*

Grimgravy looks down at his body to see himself vivisected, his skin stretched out like wrapping paper and held open with pins. The Vault Boy bobblehead shakes, as if laughing and starts to carve up Grimgravys flesh. Grimgravys mouth opens to gasp in horror, but it is sewn shut.

He has no mouth, but he must scream.

---------------------------------


The sun rises, and the remaining codexers find the body of Grimgravy, dressed and stuffed like a thanksgiving turkey on the dining table. On his corpse is a note. It reads: *Breakfeast is served*


In another room, the body of Taxalot is found face down in the bathtub.

you have 53.5 hours to discuss...

In the event of a mexican standoff where two innocents and a killer are left alive, players may only vote once, and in secret (via PM). If everyone votes for everyone else, everyone dies.

Once again I'm right, but I believe no one is going to believe in me. Keep in mind that there's not even FO4 in that scene and there's only on person related to Vault Boy between the posters. But it's okay, let's keep people dying because "the vocal posters are not the killers".

That's fine and dandy...

Except I am the priest, and I saved him.

So how about revising the list of the dead? :M

On the other hand, isn't it curious how EVERYONE I considered innocent are innocent, huh?
Excommunicator, Grimgravy and taxalot are likely to be innocent. Maybe Tigranes, too.

As both Grimgravy (Gut feeling was completly wrong) and taxalot are dead Neville (along with CJM) went to the top of my list.

As such and to start the discussion

I accuse a bear named spigot
I accuse CorporateJewMaster

Remember, we have to find one killer today. Otherwise we're fucked.

Edit: Wait, seriously? Is Viata or bear the killer then? WTF?

Are you really a priest? You could PM Pink telling you saved him. If you are a priest so I don't know who the killer is. And I'm pretty sure they are going to kill me hanged. So whatever. LOL

And you voted in one of them[two if we count Jim]. You could have saved then. :M

Guys I apologize. Writing this shit first thing in the morning isn't easy.


Mr. Pink, after dying found himself transformed into the lich he always wanted to be. With a shovel, he digs up and reassembles the corpse of Grimgravy. Missing hair, teeth and looking quite wet, Grimgravy is back in the game.

As Consolation, Nevill is unkillable for this round, but loses his priest powers.

I am. I thought of coming clean in this thread right after the results come in. It's no use hiding when there are so few of us.

I am telling Mr. Pink right here instead of a conversation, and Grimgravy's resurrection - if there will be one - will validate my words.

It was obvious someone is trying to set me up and is deliberately leaving me alive while targeting people I had contact with. So I knew it will be Grimgravy today (as I also made comments that made it look I was going to kill him if I were a killer).

BTW, first night I had to choose between taxalot and Tigranes, and I chose taxalot. Thought he was a more convenient target. Honestly, if he weren't killed today, I'd be suspecting him. :|

Naturally, I am dying next night anyway, regardless of the lynching results. No one is going to leave a priest alive. Still, we have a chance.

:hmmm:

Ok then. :cool:

Well, at least we got two proven innocents. You and Grimgravy. Which means we are down to 4 possible killers(Me, Duraframe, Bigot and Jew).
It's kinda funny that the person who "killed" Grimgravy was wearing a mask, so he can't tell who did it anyway. :negative:

Btw, I'm sorry for my accusations. I was clearly wrong.

Oh yeah, I'd like to point out the Jew Master didn't post a single thing during the second day.

Lurkers should be killed off. No exceptions.

Excom could have saved himself with a single post, but he didn't, because he was asleep.

I did call off a hunt on a bear named spigot after he posted. Any material for observation is better than no material.

Grimgravy <-- """saved""" by priest
Nevill <-- confirmed innocent and a (former) priest, also unkillable for one night unless you lynch him somehow.

Right, so about my suspicions.

a bear named spigot was highly suspicious. Then again, there was also his personality at work.

There was that thing with killing Hoaxmetal, and there was this bit:
I do think the one or both of you are playing a role, however, I think one of the two is the priest. so if only one of you makes it through the night, I will then be convinced that one is a killer.
I wasn't chosen, but taxalot was. If taxalot would have been killed, I'd be declared the killer, and with Viata throwing his accusations around it would be a settled matter who would be lynched the next day.

Edit: I ACCUSE a bear named spigot. No hard feelings, bro.

Sorry, bro. You were on a 'maybe innocent' list. :M

Who the hell would think they will kill Hoaxmetal of all people, instead of more prominent figures?

How is this a standoff? Why can't two innocents hang the killer? :?

If it's 1 killer and 1 innocent, the killer should win. If there are 2 innocents and 1 killer, the innocents should win if they pinpoint the culprit. That's how it is supposed to work, I think.
