Red Scare Mystery - Chapter Fifteen

[Bob]

"I've tabulated all of the results of your private messages." The Congressman said. "Let's go through them, you need to get at least 4 points to win the game. Each correct answer, or even portion of an answer, counts as a point."

Flitwick said: No answer

brickme said: Captain Harding

Shadows said: No answer

Walter said: No answer

Question Four: Why were the certain places on the map circled? The correct answer is: They were what Jack Howard was assigned to investigate. The Farm, being the entrance to Project Wolf. The Town Hall, where files could be taken, and the entrance to Project Wolf. The lighthouse, where he arrived, and the Jefferson household, to protect the former Senator, as it was the belief of the CIA that the communists were trying to assassinate the former Senator.

Legonater said: The palces on the map where places involved with the evacuation of the lab, or places the CIA were keeping tabs on. I think. I'll keep checking.

Admiral Ron said: Entrances to Project Wolf/soon to be entrances

Cornelius said: Entrances to Project Wolf

Cralegoboy said: I honestly have no idea.

Fugazi said: they were the objectives of Jack Howard: Lighthouse (point of landing), Town Hall (to get the town files), Farm (tunnel entrance), Jefferson's place (investigate Dolores)

CallMePie said: Each one is where someone with an anti-townie role originated.

iamded said: They uh... had connections with communist activity?

Flitwick said: The locations on the maps mark were the tunnels link to, with one being in/near my house; thats how the would-be-killer got in and out quickly.

brickme said: Possibilities of communist spies dropped by a helpful american

Shadows said: No answer

Walter said: No answer

BONUS QUESTIONS (here is where you could get extra points)

What is Project Wolf? The correct answer here is a red herring, Project Wolf does not even exist. It was a made up and fabricated location, that Inspector Liebenston broke into, and thought he stole important information, when in reality, he did not. The entire location was an elaborate trap created to find the communists. X-K2P was also created to scare the townspeople into trying to find the communists quicker, it would have never occurred. General Stanley, however, was not made aware of the situation, which is why so many people died, and why he tried to kill you all.

Those who answered correctly:

Fugazi

CallMePie

Funny Response:

Cornelius: A lab that is trying to create an army of undead mutants.

What killed Laura Jefferson? Dolores Jefferson did, in order to get closer to Patrick Jefferson, and persuade him back into politics so she could siphon off information from him.

Those who answered correctly:

Cornelius

Fugazi

Funny Response:

brickme: Herself

"Wait a minute!" Patrick yelled. "My wife isn't a communist!"

"I'm sorry Patrick...I love you, I really do. But my country has to come first." she said.

"Krista! You too?" Farmer Alan asked.

"Yeah. My job was to poison your crops in case we were ratted out, but seeing as how we're on a boat, I guess that's impossible."

"Enough of this." the Inspector said, whipping out a pistol. "We're going to wait until that little patrol boat comes back, then you'll never see us again."

The (mostly) stunned townspeople watched in horror as their former loved ones turned on them.

Use this chapter to discuss amongst each other and bicker and argue with the communist spies.

1. There are 18 participants. If you commit to the game you are committing to contributing to the story and sticking with it to the end. I am trusting you all not to drop out halfway through, as that is never any fun.

2. You must search for clues. This means that an action must be specified. For example, you wish to search a room for hidden objects. The following is an example of how not to go about this:

"I wish to look for suspicious or hidden objects in this room".

Instead, you must be able to specify what you want to do. For example:

"I would like to open the drawers of the cabinet."

It is not required for you to specify exactly what you are doing and what you are looking for, but a generalized statement will not find you anything. Act like a detective and you will be fine.

3. This game is meant to be fun, so enjoy yourselves!

4. Please be patient with me between chapters, I will try to put up the chapter topics as quickly as possible, but, this might not be so all the time.

5. Please try to avoid editing your posts, as it can lead to suspicion against you. Just consider what you want to say before you say it, and you'll be fine.

6. Please remember that this is the early 1950’s. No iPods, digital cameras, cell phones, printers, computers, fax machines, or otherwise. No events past the current date either, or else people will view you as insane.

7. I won’t keep you in a certain room if you don’t want me too. You’ll always have the option of backtracking or researching the same place.

8. The host is usually always right. If you think I’ve made an error, then please discuss this in the discussion thread or feel free to PM me.

9. Failure to follow these rules will result in a warning. A second failure will result in the death of your character.

10. Remember that although a chapter has ended, that doesn’t mean that the day has concluded, and night actions can be used.

10b. There are also chapter actions. Those of you with chapter actions have the ability to use them at the end of each chapter.

11. No Metagaming please. Also, don’t base suspicions on how the person looks.

Rules may be added or deleted as the game goes on based on game play.

12. This is the 1950’s, the middle of the Cold War. You’re under constant worry of potential nuclear Armageddon, so act like it. The Communists are your enemies in this game, don’t forget that. Also, anytime historical facts from the 1950’s are brought in is a big plus.

[Sisco]

Agh, I knew the "Investigator" was a commie. I should've said he was in the question thingy. Damn! I wish he had died when I targeted him. And Delores! I had targeted her too! I targeted two commies?! Figures.

[CMP]

To be honest Bob, I'm very confused about the setup of the results. What's the total underneath the commie's names for?

[Bob]

To be honest Bob, I'm very confused about the setup of the results. What's the total underneath the commie's names for?

"Those are the tallies of people chosen by others. For example, Alan Simmons was submited as a communist by one person, so therefore he has one on the list below. It was really something to help me, it's more of just putting the words above in numerical form." The congressman says.

[The Legonater]

I'd like to glare at Delores. You. You low-life scum. I should've known. You were always a terrible 'mother', if you can call it that. I had you for a moment. But you fooled me- us. All of us. So why did you go commie. For the money? The fame? You know what, I don't even want to know. Dad, what did I tell you- this woman wasn't worth it. Can we tie her to an anvil and throw her over? I'd enjoy that. Fields, got your gun on you?

I'd like to glare at the Investigator. And you. You think your little silent act fooled me? Bah. Figures that you would squirm yourself into the one position entirely capable of daving the town. And I'm going to assume that when you said Phelps was a commie, you were pulling a little scam, right? Maybe we should throw you overboard too. Do any of these commies deserve to live? Maybe we should suitably execute them, and end it all right here. Then Stanley will know we had success. Yeah, i;d like that.

I'd like to turn to Krista. I don't know you a whole lot, but I do know this. I has suspected you. If it weren't for my assumption that there was only one commie left, you would've been in my list. Blasted newcomer.

Well, is this it? Do we have anything left to do?

[CorneliusMurdock]

I knew it! I can't believe I changed my mind about you at the last minute, Dolores. It all added up. What was your night action?

So the doctor wasn't a mutant zombie? Sure seemed like one to me.

Which one of you knifed Brenda (the lifeguard)?

I'd like to throw my hard hat at the Inspector and try to overpower him.

[def]

I can come clean.

I'm a Soviet Union Spy sent over from Mother Russia four years ago. After extensive training for prolonged missions, I was sent over to infiltrate the Jefferson Family, since Patrick was a powerful Senator. I killed Laura, and then swooped him up. Since he retired, I was ordered to keep my current position, and to sleep with other powerful people in town, in order to get information. I do love the children, even though they are not mine. I also love Patrick dearly.

I'm highly trained in killing, and therefore, I could protect myself if attacked at night, that's how I could survive when attacked. I maintained a position over the fire station, which I used only to spy on what goes on in the town at night. There was all sorts of incriminating evidence up there, so I cleaned it up day three or four.

I killed Valarie while trying to kill Bradford.

~~~~~

I lied a lot during this, but I tried to keep my lies simple so I didn't get too caught up in anything.

[Brickdoctor]

MegaBloks.

I can't say I didn't see this coming, since as a Commie, I did...

I just have one question: Did you guys know I was a Commie based something I did, or something Draggy did?

[CMP]

MegaBloks.

I can't say I didn't see this coming, since as a Commie, I did...

I just have one question: Did you guys know I was a Commie based something I did, or something Draggy did?

Mega- Drag- what?

Dolores had us all fooled. A seductive woman to say the least. And I thought we had something.

Liebenston. Gah, we should've been right from the start. We were so close to getting you out of here...and your damn bulletproof vest saved you the second time.

Krista. I knew it. I knew ONE newcomer had to be it. Looks like I was right.

Everyone just tell me you want me to shoot 'em. I've failed as a chief, and it'll be worth my life to get rid of our noble 'investigator'.

[Brickdoctor]

Mega- Drag- what?

Oh, I forgot, still in-character, right?

Okay, fine: Did you know/guess I was a Commie based on something I did before or after I stopped daydreaming so much?

[Bob]

Inspector Liebenston, who still has the gun pointed at the crowd, demand Fields and Harrison hand over their weapons.

"Chief?" Harrison asked.

"Just do it. We're not out of this yet."

The police hand their pistols over to the communists, who throw them over the side.

[Fugazi]

You don't think you are really going to get away with this Liebenston! Drop your gun and the American justice will be fair with you. Keep resisting and you'll be executed along with your treacherous comrades when the Army catch up with you!

Krista, I would never have guessed you were one of them. I really thought that the message Jack Howard left saying that we should be wary of newcomers was just a red herring. You didn't reveal much about yourself so I should have been more suspicious of you!

But the biggest surprise to me is how the framer was actually a townie! This really confused things, as I kept looking for a commie that could also fit the bill as a framer. I should have known that his elaborate explanation that Frankie couldn't write English was only a ruse! Perhaps Frankie should have revealed his role, that would have helped the town figure out what was going on. On the other hand, I'm not sure I would have believed that the town had a framer!

One major red herring though was the National Guard during the first vote who was heard saying that we weren't looking in the right direction when Liebenston and Dolores were tied up in the votes. Oh we were actually doing quite well!

It's too bad that the Mayor didn't share his thoughts during the last few days, I'm sure his analysis would have been pretty accurate.

So what now? Where's the National Guard when we need them? I don't remember seeing a radio on board the Lakota, so I don't suppose we could sneak a Mayday past the commies.

[Sisco]

I'd like to whip it out (my gun, that is ), and shoot Investigator Liebenson in the face, because they forgot to take my gun.

[CorneliusMurdock]

So are we ignoring my attempt to overpower the inspector?

[Peanuts]

I'm glad this whole thing has finally got a happy ending, and the good ones won.

Well, yes, I'm a communist, as some of you have already figured out. I'm myself a bit surprised Frankie Daly was the framer, I was convinced it was Matt...

So, my job is done, if anyone still has any question, he should ask them now, before the patrol boat comes.

FOR THE USSR! Oh, I missed that so much.

[Admiral Ron]

I cannot believe my mother was indeed a communist....It appears I was wrong in that regard. No matter, we shall deal with them both!

I would like to throw my hammer at Delores.

[Brickdoctor]

I'd like to whip it out (my gun, that is ), and shoot Investigator Liebenson in the face, because they forgot to take my gun.

Aren't I holding all your bullets, though?

[Professor Flitwick]

I'm a Soviet Union Spy sent over from Mother Russia four years ago.

Since he retired, I was ordered to keep my current position, and to sleep with other powerful people in town, in order to get information. I do love the children, even though they are not mine. I also love Patrick dearly.

Dolly... how could you? All those years, were just part of some mission? You killed Laura... you made me believe that I was somebody important, that I was someone with a life worth living. I spent everyday of my life - my pathetic, manipulated little life - thinking I was somebody WORTH A DAMN! You were there, inspiring me, making everyday worth it... but throughout my entire life... I was just a tool.

How can you profess to love a man whose life you've ruined, you cruel bitch.

[Bob]

James throws his hardhat at the Inspector, disorienting him.

The two struggle for a bit, and Farmer Alan rushes up to help, but to no avail.

"Now I'll have to kill you." he says, searching for a witty one-liner.

*BANG*

The Inspector tumbles over, and dies.

"I've been waiting to do that since I got here."

"You knew it was him all along?" James asks.

"...No." The Congressman says.

"Where did you get that gun?" Farmer Alan inquires.

"I've had it since I got to town."

"And you're just using it now?"

The Congressman looks off to the side, but doesn't say anything.

"Hey." Stevie asks. "Where's Dolores and Krista?"

They've disappeared.

[Fugazi]

They've disappeared.

The patrol boat! They're trying to get away!

I'd like to check if the patrol boat is still moored to the Lakota.

And while we're here, we could search the Inspector, perhaps he's been stealing interesting stuff?

I'm starting to get hungry... Perhaps Dieter can start working on his famous ribs 'a la Liebenston'?

[CorneliusMurdock]

So that's what my hair looks like!

Thanks for the save, congressman! Did the other two jump over the side? Is everyone else still here?

I'd like to look over the side to check for them and then do a quick headcount to make sure they didn't take any hostages.

And I'll pick my hat back up and put it on.

The Patrol Boat left some time ago. Farmer Alan then reveals that he is a cannibal.

So that's what my hair looks like!

I'd like to look over the side to check for them and then do a quick headcount to make sure they didn't take any hostages.

And I'll pick my hat back up and put it on.

They cannot be seen anywhere, and everyone else is present. James then puts his hard hat back on.

[CorneliusMurdock]

They have to be on the ship somewhere, then. Should we form search parties? God only knows what they could be doin' unsupervised.

[Fugazi]

Agreed, let's search the ship. It will keep my mind off eating!

[Professor Flitwick]

I agree with searching the ship, but suggest I always go first when entering a new room; if Dolores really does love me, then she won't harm/shoot me upon sight.
