It would take more time than I have to pull all their posts to show you everything I have worked out this morning. For now... let me begin by introducing my suspicions and attempt to correct some erroneous conclusions we've reached.
I believe Noodles is the murderer.
From the start, Noods expended more effort notifying us about her continual absences and updating us about her computer issues, her work demands, her bleeding husband, and her dire need to fix dinner or vaccuum the carpeting (of all things)... and other nonsense, posting one excuse after another to inform us why she has so little time to play... than anything else. All this to excuse her lack of participation during the earlier part of the game. Within the first (approx.) 250 posts of the thread, she had made only 5. Heck, even the game mod had already posted more than that.
Yes, I'm sure she's been quite busy.... who isn't? Even so, she was also hiding out and keeping a very low profile so we would overlook her.
I picked up on this at the time but have counted her among too many suspects and other side issues which also drew my attention for me to sit back and examine her contribution (?) individually and follow up with this.
Then, at a crucial moment in the game... I also failed notice it was Noods who got us all to make a
huge mistake: our misinterpretation of Day 1 nightfall events.
I did not put this all together until a short while ago.
Keeping the final vote count in sequence here as a reminder, she nicely withheld her vote until the end. And these votes, I'll come back to in a moment.
Found the vote from UN...
vote count is......
FF-(7)-Wizard, Chill, Kash, Wizard, JB, Razz, Hay, Noods
Wizard-(2)-JB, FF, Lab
Hay-(5)-Rich, Wizard, Pap, Razz, Bally, Ninja, UN
After FF was dead... innocent townie, we read this:
As the lights flicker, the Doctor feeling they know evil sneaks behind the one they feel to be evil and sticks them in the neck with their vial, a strange feeling comes over them as the serum makes it way through their body....someone has been changed, but did the Doctor make the right decision? Only time will tell......
Yes, that was me injecting Lab Rat with Dose #1. I took this writeup to mean it changed her from one side to another. And the final remark "only time will tell" (which was actually a telling clue from the mod) to mean Lady G wasn't going to tell us Labby's role. In fact, what it actually meant was I've got a slow-acting serum.
Lab Rat was not the murderer's first choice as partner from game start as we've thought all this time. (I'll tell you who I believe this is as well... keep reading.)
When nightfall began, Lab Rat was
innocent -- right up until the moment I injected her. I was the one who turned Lab Rat evil; not the murderer. (Looking back, she was also probably one of our ghost hunters at this time. The hunch I acted upon to dose her....... more a PR vibe about Lab Rat than her being scum.)
Next came the evil hit. And guess what? The evils (2 of them) also targeted the same person I had just stabbed in the neck -->
Lab Rat.
As the residents slowly make their way back to thier rooms, the lights are flickering and they can hear a ghostly laugh through the halls. One resident closes thier door and lights a candle not wanting to be in complete darkness if the lights go out again. As they lay down, pulling the covers over them they feel a presence in their room. Wearily they look around and see two "figures" standing at the foot of their bed. To scared to even scream they just look terrified, pleading with their eyes. Ever so slowly the figures make their way over the residents body smiling as they go, stretching out their arms, and in a low voice saying...."come join us"!
Someone has been taken by the murderer and the evil spirit
This was evil recruit #2, which according to the rules is a guarantee. 100% result.... claiming the victim to the evil team. This "turn" was not the 50-50 chance later targets would be.
No wonder Lady G had some quick details to work out in a hurry... Lab Rat was both my target (to turn her) and Noodles' newest teammate -- both at the same time.
Here is Nood's initial response after "game on."
*sigh* ok, so one was definitely turned and one with unknown results. :wall:
Here, Lab Rat died from her injection and her (new) role was revealed.... several minutes after nightfall was over and Day 2 began.
As the serum finishes surging threw the victims body from the Dr, they fall and convulse violently, their body goes up in smoke....
Lab was a troubled soul
Noodles went on to incriminate Wizard (innocent) for leading the votes against FF (innocent/dead). She nicely included JB (also innocent) in this, which only suggested we suspect him as well.... feeding our concern about the interaction we'd seen between JB and Wizard.... just before she tried to disappear again (back to her scumden).
ATM I am inclined to follow JB onto Wiz. The way he went after him right off, certain that he was scum, then moved off, then moved back - not looking good right now. need to call it a night for now and think about it more tomorrow.......
Before leaving... a quick reaction to Labby's death.
whoa - this outta no where! need to rethink things..........
The mod came on to answer our questions about a turn getting killed from an event that can only turn her.
OK everyone...I did make a big mistake, not sure why but I had written in my notes that the vial would kill the troubled souls or the ghost hunters if they were vialed.
Labby was NOT the murderer and should of switched to be a ghost hunter....we have 2 choices here. I can call the game and start a new one if you want, assigning roles over, or we can continue and play the way it was suppose to go.
It is up to all of you, what ever you think would be fair.
The murderer shows she has heart with a nice comment to consider poor Labby's feelings. But also note what else she managed to work in with this post. She added her "spin" on the events to confuse us into thinking Lab Rat was her 1st turn instead of their 2nd turn.
I vote to go forward but since Labby is the real victim here I would like to hear how she feels. but wait a minute - so that would mean she was indeed the first turn, right?....hhhmmm.....the wheels on the bus go round and round........
Asking this question the game mod wasn't going to answer... she lead us to believe Lab was the other turn.
I vote to take the soul of Noodles. She is the murderer.
More to follow about the real Turn #1.
