Act 6 ~~~~~~~~~~ The Hooded Figure had been a little surprised to the turn the discussions had taken in the bar that night. He had already confirmed to two delegates that their plans might work, and he knew that there were only two possible outcomes for the day ... He summoned the fallen delegates in the Purgatory and asked their opinion as well. Satisfied, he went back to his popcorn. "A mass-abstain it will be, if they really want that. They are hurting themselves." ~~~~~~~~~~ The curr3nt Swede was watching the others from afar, through a device that the Hooded Figure had provided. He had made his own arrangements for the day and was planning fall-back strategies if the day would not go as planned ... little did he suspect... ~~~~~~~~~~ The Hirkamerican had abstained from using his skills at night. He was suddlenly seeing peace as a possible option ... he should have known better ... ~~~~~~~~~~ The Germany GolfJunkie had not even tried to guess this night. It would have been in vain ... he should have done it in the first nights ... ~~~~~~~~~~ The Russian Marquessa despite being redirected, had managed to tag two baddies at night ... she was looking forward to a peaceful end of the game ... rightly so ... ~~~~~~~~~~ El Sol of Spain had managed to fool them twice as well ... he never risked more than he had to ... and was also free to look forward to the future ... ~~~~~~~~~~ The English Thalia had finished packing and smiled ... she had done what was expected of her ... some mysteries did remain ... but all in all, that was a pleasant experience ... albeit short ... ~~~~~~~~~~ Iran and Argentina chuckled all the way ... no one had figured it out, yet. It was their right to leave, yes, their lost camarade had paved their way. But to fool the others in the open like this, this was something, really something. ~~~~~~~~~~ The Hooded Figure summoned all of them in the central room. They each came, one by one, ready to go, hopes up. "Ladies and gentlemen, today was rather ... unexpected. Still, I had my share of people who did not read the rules nor asked about them, so it wasn't completely unexpected." Some exchanged glances, not sure what this long introduction meant for their situation. "As you have asked, abstaining is not punishable. But letting your opponents leave is. To be precise, eliminating all the other players never ever covered letting them go live happily ever after on a tropical island. I'm quite surprised you thought that. Or never bothered to ask. I even thought you were gonna slow-play it and flash-vote at the end..." the Hooded Figure looked at USA and Germany. "... but I was wrong. You did this to yourselves." ~~~~~~~~~~ "Congratulations, Molly and Shadow, you have managed to fool them and both of you earned your leave. You know the ending already, so you are free to go ... "and the Hooded Figure motioned and transported both of the members of the Secret Alliance to the promised tropical island. All theirs for the future. ~~~~~~~~~~ "Thalia, you are also free to go right this moment. Also, two more of you will be able to join Thalia soon enough, as you have both finished their jobs. The rest of you, I'm disappointed with! Your jobs can never be completed now.", the Hooded Figure motioned again. ~~~~~~~~~~ End of the Game !! ~~~~~~~~~~ Final Roster: 1.

Actions and Secret WinCon's Explanation for leaving

Act 5 ~~~~~~~~~~ The Swede had a plan for tonight. He needed to catch a certain person for the night. He went to the bar, ordered a drink and surveyed the rest of the delegates. After he saw some of them leave, he decided to set his plans in motion. His device worked as usual and curr3nt was left stranded for the night and day. ~~~~~~~~~~ Spying still went on, as the devices were in almost unlimited supply. ~~~~~~~~~~ End of Act 5 ~~~~~~~~~~ Hooded Figure: Araver 1. Molly Mae 2. Hirkala 3. maurice - Lynched and found to beChina 4. Thalia 5. curr3nt - arrested by Sweden - cannot vote, post or be voted during D3. 6. Framm - Killed by the Secret Alliance 7.

Disregard previous remarks. Post will be up on time.

No votes = mass abstain = no one is lynched.

Again, sorry to say: The night post may be a little late due to some conflicting appointments.

No, they cannot. I was rushing when I said this (the day and outcome where clear). But disregard. I made a partial booboo. Correct answer: There are a lot of spies possible: Argentina, Iran (roll 3), Russia, Australia's trap spy, and Sweden's Faction Spy. 1. In case of Australia and Sweden, their spies always work since their target can never be killed the same night (So it does not fall under the original scenario in question) 2. In case of Argentina and Iran, their spy occurs later in the night so it does not work on freshly killed people. 3. In case of Russia, spy works on dead people. I forgot. Mea culpa.

lol. I need to sleep.

Act 4 Discussions started slowly on this day, as people were not sure what had happened the previous nights. One of them was more vocal than others and tried to piece together the pieces of the puzzle. Others questioned his motives, if not his moves. The center of the puzzle remained largely unknown. Most were scheming behind scenes, using their private channel established by the Hooded Figure. Questions were asked, rules were skim-read again, boundaries were pushed. All in all it was a good day for talks. But this was not the UN. Talks are not everything in this game, as the Hooded Figure had intended all along. As the day ended, the delegates began to stir again in anticipation. They all had plans for the future and all depended on today's voting outcome. ~~~~~~~~~~ "Gentlemen, I see some of you have reached a decision. Very well, I will take maurice with me", said the Hooded Figure. "As to your questions, I believe you all read the rules and know what I am allowed to and what you are allowed to. Night awaits you." ~~~~~~~~~~ One by one, the remaining nations left the room. Some schemes were now thwarted, some plans were still in motion. The bar should be crowded tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~ End of Act 4 ~~~~~~~~~~ Hooded Figure: Araver 1. Molly Mae 2. Hirkala 3. maurice - Lynched and found to be China 4. Thalia 5. curr3nt 6.

Marq is a she She reads the forum from time to time, so she gets your messages. But faster communication from phone to host is much easier (and allowed).

In 4 and a half hours (11 PM EDT). EDIT: 4 and a half.

Getting a host to admit what he said or did not say is ... Sweden cannot target the same person twice in a row by submitting the action "Arrest X" in two consecutive nights. (sorry if my message above was unclear). Sweden can however arrest the same person twice in a row if it is redirected since Redirect >> Arrest.

As it is said in the rules: It does not say dead people win, it says regardless of individual WinCon you can leave if the other factions are dead. Yes. A little confused why this amendment would be useful for answering the first question. As I said, when one faction wipes out the other players, there is no one stopping them to leave the game.

Yes. Sweden's arrest happens before both kill and RID Kill, and as such, it cannot be stopped by either.

No. The vote manipulation during the day is not mentioned in the Order of Actions because night-actions don't affect day actions (with the exception of arrest). Day actions that change/redirect day votes are explicitly mentioned.

That was the night kill. If the NK is successful, the killer role is shown along with the victim player name. Australia dying is public knowledge after D1 post. England using Australia's power is public knowledge after N2 post. So there is no outing penalty for England to tell that he/she can use Australia's ability.

Act 3 ~~~~~~~~~ The Swede had more devices ready, but was reluctant to use them all. He debated with himself if his choice had been right. After a while, headaches made him move. He went to another target's room and slid a device under the door. "This will either help. Or it won't. But I can't stand around doing nothing", he thought to himself. Hirkala awoke and tried to remember what he had planned for tonight. "Aw, right. Just need to ...", a small hissing sound and the door was completely covered in white stuff. "... Aw, man. I hate it when people mess with my door." He tried for the rest of the night to find another exit from the room, but he could not even find an air duct. ~~~~~~~~~ The Brit had found new tools on the table next to his bed. Interesting. He read the manual carefully then decided he should use one tonight. He cracked the door and studied his target's movements on the corridor. As soon as he saw his target move into the room, he took out one of the little gadgets and pushed it under the door. Marq was moving inside the room, so the little robot's sensors were activated immediately. She heard a loud sonic bang then fell to the floor, unconscious. The robot took the drop of blood, analyzed it and proceeded to self-destruct. ~~~~~~~~~ The Iranian was watching his target from the bar. He saw his target drinking more than usual and sighed to himself. "Bond-type. Phew". He left the bar earlier and opened Framm's quarters. A quick glance in the room and he chose the perfect ambush place. He hid behind the curtains and waited. Soon enough, Framm entered and left his keys on the table. As he dropped on the bed, dizzy, the killer lunged and struck. His body was not to be found till morning. ~~~~~~~~~~ Spying was still their favorite game that night. The Hooded Figure watched and smiled. ~~~~~~~~~~ End of Act 3 ~~~~~~~~~~ Hooded Figure: Araver 1. Molly Mae 2. Hirkala 3. maurice 4. Thalia 5. curr3nt 6. Framm - Killed by the Secret Alliance 7.

Night still ends at 11 PM EDT, but post may be delayed for 2 hours or so. Sorry, something came up IRL.

Act 3 At first, they started to ask questions, uneasy in this new environment. As people seemed to dodge direct questions, side-debates started. The truth was that they were too afraid to speak up, lest they attract attention to them. Slowly, votes were cast and started to pile around. The Hooded Figure was kinda expecting the slow start and considered pressuring them somehow. But he dismissed the notion. He promised them a clean lynch for the first day. An equilibrium would be reached somehow. As the day progressed, fingers were pointed in some directions more frequently. Thalia, Vineetrika, Maurice and Hirkala were all questioned. Under pressure, each slipped their own version of the truth. This confused things and with the clock slowly ticking away, delegates were suddenly uneasy to cast their votes on the wrong person. The Hooded Figure waited for the dust to settle and made his appearance. "Gentlemen, do you have a decision for me?". Timid looks regarded him. He quietly took the votes from each of them, along with some hidden messages slipped between the votes. He quietly computed the result in his head, then: "Very well, it seems you have reached a decision. I will take Australia with me!" Vineetrika rose up, cheeks red. "But why? I mean ... this is not fair!" The Hooded Figure nodded slowly: "No, it is not fair. But I'm afraid it is inevitable right now. Come with me!" One by one, delegates left the central room, quietly wondering what would the night bring. Some were looking ahead to seeing their plans come together. Others pondered the day events to find suitable targets. End of Act 2 ~~~~~~~~~~ Hooded Figure: Araver 1. Molly Mae 2. Hirkala 3. maurice 4. Thalia 5. curr3nt 6. Framm 7.
