This can be fun. I'm in. I used to play the "real life" version of this game a lot.

Not killing people. But you get my drift.

We have a serial killer in our midst, people. You know what to do

The game has begun. Check your inbox, men. Because some of us may be busy successful people, the length of the day has been set to TWO days (starting now). The length of a night is simply based on how long it takes for our killers, priests and detectives to PM me.

The killers will PM me the names of the two (or one if a killer has died) people who are to die and how they will die.
The detective and priests will PM me the names of the person they are investigating/saving

----------

The first day of the game begins after the killers choose exactly how the shocking death of Mr. Pink, the narrator will take place.

Day 1: Dawn

You wake up to find the body of Mr. Pink was found splayed across the floor of the kitchen, his hard boiled eggs still floating in the pot, green onions half chopped. On his back was a note, written in cut-out letters:

"He scaled to our level."

You have two days to discuss and deduce who killed me. Anyone may accuse anyone else. If the accusation receives brofists from a majority of the players, he will be lynched. Because there are eleven players, 6 brofists are needed to kill the accused.

It is the dawn of the first day.

Please. We are all RPG players here. We all love to kill people.

I'd like you however to consider the state of the body. That is no mere murder. Two things of note :
-It's partially eaten. Could indicate the work of Jim the Dinosaur or a bear named spigot
-No blood on the floor. This could indicate a woman cleaned the places afterwise. Viata 's nickname ends with an A, so might be a woman in disguise.

bears mostly eat leaves and fruit and shit, and the kitchen clearly hasn't been ransacked for vegies

you're quick to fling the blame upon quite a number of others though

Hang someone up, see if they are guilty. Rince, repeat until justice is done. I will support Tigranes' case and blame taxalot .

Obviously I'm innocent, because if I had any way of killing anyone directly I would not turn to such an inefficient method like voting. :M

Look closer at the ones who are silent, people. The culprits are usually content to stay away from the discourse and let the citizens hang each other.

You'd be daft to kill the only one among you who has any experience with this game.
The silent ones are indeed equally suspect. Along with the first one to throw the blame : That's Tigranes .

His avatar is even a fucking skeleton.

I wouldn't be stupid enough to clean the place and still leave a body there. The lack of blood could indicated the job was done by an skeleton(Tigranes), but the half-eaten body may be a job by one of the two man-eating animal you accused.

Now, this "his hard boiled eggs still floating in the pot, green onions half chopped" was a secret message leaved by Mr. Pink before he died. The egg has an oval shape, like a face. The "half" part here is an important clue, it tells us who the killer is. Which is Nevill:

As we can see, his avatar is half black/green("green onions half chopped") and only his face can be see floating in the dark("hard boiled eggs still floating"). It can't be more obvious.

You sidestep the fact that for it to be a message he had to know in advance that he would be dead at this time and hour. He certainly was in no shape to cook after he was ripped apart.

It is much more likely that this is a message left by the killer himself, to confuse the investigation and lead us on a wild goose chase. Even more likely because the killer was obviously hungry, to gobble on poor Mr. Pink so. If it weren't his doing, he would swallow eggs and onions too.

Unless... eggs are absolutely haram for them. That would leave Jim the Dinosaur as a primary suspect.

By the way, Corporate_Jew_Master, how Orthodox of a Jew Master are you?
