KotZ Posted December 5, 2024 Posted December 5, 2024 It's the holiday season is Christmastown. All is calm... or perhaps not. What's that over by the tree? Why, it's St. Nick! "Jingle jingle jingle, I can hear my sleighbells ring," he sings to himself as he places some presents under the tree. "There we go! Oh, rats! I forgot some of the toys back in the sleigh, and my list! I should get those quickly!" s So Santa strolls on his merry way back to the only building with a roof large enough to land a sleigh in Christmastown: the orphanage. "Blasted Christmastown!" he mutters to his old self. "Why does this town with such cheer have only one building I can land on? And why didn't Mrs. Claus give me that ladder I asked for this year? She knows how hard some of my stops are!" But Kris Kringle continues on, as the children of Christmastown deserve their toys. And up he goes! But when he reaches the top... "Damnit!" the kindly old man yells loud enough the people in Christmas City could hear. "Someone stole all my toys! And my list! The naughty and nice list is gone!" So Santa rushes back down to the ground to see if he lost it in the snow. But, alas! Those toys were gone, too! And no list to be found! So he mustered his strength, and with the voice of the frosty winds, Santa bellows, "CHILDREN! MEET ME IN THE STATION IMMEDIATELY!" So all the children of Christmastown, all five, got out of their beds and rushed to the station to hear what he said. "Now listen you little brats," Santa cries, "some of you stole my list, and I'm not sure who here lied. I can't go all the way back to the north pole to gaze into my crystal ball, I don't have time for that. I need to get the presents delivered to all the good children across the world, and I need my list and the rest of the gifts. It's up to you to find whoever stole them from me." So Santa shook a finger at each little kid and promised, "Bring me who you think did this, and I'll chop off their head!" Players (5) Clark (Bob) George (Classic_Spaceman) Susan (mostlytechnic) Scott (Tariq J) Eloise (Trekkie99) The Rules 1.

Trekkie99 Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 He's making a slit, slashing it twice! Gonna find out who's slaughtered and diced! Santa Clause is coming to town!
Tariq j Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 So no toys and we have an evil Santa to deal with? Oh dear.
mostlytechnic Posted December 6, 2024 Posted December 6, 2024 And not just that, an illogical evil Santa! It's going to take multiple DAYS to hunt down the naughty here, where surely he can get to the north pole and back in hours at most. He does afterall visit the whole world in one night...
KotZ Posted December 6, 2024 Author Posted December 6, 2024 Voting is now open. There are 48 hours left in the day.
Bob Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Nobody has really talked about the mechanics of the game yet. Considering there's only five of us, how many scum do we think are in the game?
Trekkie99 Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Can't imagine there's two. Unless one of the town is bulletproof? Probably one very powerful scum.
Classic_Spaceman Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 "What?? No toys??? Christmas is cancelled!! NOOOOooooo!!!"

Wait - You'll do what to them?! Maybe you don't have to kill them - I mean, don't you have magic??" 2 hours ago, Bob said: Nobody has really talked about the mechanics of the game yet. Considering there's only five of us, how many scum do we think are in the game? "Clark, you think this is a game? Do you think Santa's just giving us a little a Christmas mystery to solve while we count down the days?" 44 minutes ago, Trekkie99 said: Can't imagine there's two.

"Well, I can't imagine many of us would steal toys only a few weeks before Christmas, so you may be right there's only one perp!" "Hmmm. . . Where do you think we can find clues?" "I know! Maybe we can all share what we wanted for Christmas - We might be able to find out who's behind the theft based on that!" "I'll start: I wanted set 60418 - I wanna be a policeman when I grow up, but y'know, a good one; one to find all the bad ones and put them on the Naughty List!"

I could see it going either way, but if I had to choose I would also lean to there being one scum. 6 hours ago, Classic_Spaceman said: "I know!

I always wanted the Home Alone set - my favourite Christmas film.

Vote: Susan (mostlytechnic) If there is one scum then it WILL take multiple DAYS to off us all won't it? Any experience visiting people in the night?
Bob Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 With about 18 hours left, I'm not sure who to vote for. 1 hour ago, Trekkie99 said: Vote: Susan (mostlytechnic) If there is one scum then it WILL take multiple DAYS to off us all won't it? Any experience visiting people in the night? I'm not sure if I understand your reasoning here. I know voting is mandatory, but you can make up a better reason. I'm going to Vote: Scott (Tariq j) because he hasn't said much that I find helpful.
KotZ Posted December 8, 2024 Author Posted December 8, 2024 VOTE COUNT Susan (mostlytechnic) - 1 (Trekkie99) Scott (Tariq_J) - 1 (Bob) There are just over 17 hours left in the day. With five players, a majority of three is required to lynch.
Trekkie99 Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 Oh dear the weekend can be so fun, one could be forgiven for forgetting our heads are on the line! Anyone for another 24 hrs? I wonder why there's only five of us. I bet Santa fed the others to the elves... I'm vanilla townie for anyone wondering if this could be role madness.
KotZ Posted December 8, 2024 Author Posted December 8, 2024 VOTE COUNT Susan (mostlytechnic) - 1 (Trekkie99) Scott (Tariq_J) - 1 (Bob) The day has ended with an no lynch. Tomorrow all non voters will start with a vote penalty. Get those night actions in, and a day end post will be up shortly!

Clark’s just been trying to figure out the logistics of the situation, which could be a Naughty Lister planning in plain sight - Or he’s just trying to solve the same mystery we all are!” “I’d like to hear more from Susan and Scott later today or tomorrow, and I’d still like to know what we all want for Christmas! That might give us some leads, if two of us want the same thing. . .”

KotZ Posted December 8, 2024 Author Posted December 8, 2024 Unfortunately due to the end of day, I cannot accept late votes. "Well, I guess not voting to lynch anyone is part of the Christmas spirit?" Santa asks the children. "That being said, I will have to give George, Susan, and Scott two lumps of coal (votes) at the beginning of tomorrow. Somehow I still have coal. Good night, children!" **My previous post regarding end of day votes said five, and when I looked back at the rules, it said two on vote penalty, which I will go off of. That being said, since this is a small game, if a player does not vote in Day 2, they will receive the two vote penalty and a five vote penalty the next day which will essentially be a death sentence per rule 11. I'm figuring it's due to lack of time to check the board, but in order to keep the game moving, I reserve the right to modkill inactive players and have voting continue as if said modkilled player(s) was already removed. Does that sound fair to all @Bob @Classic_Spaceman @mostlytechnic@Tariq j @Trekkie99? If anyone has any questions, please use your role pm.
