WW CLII Gorey Stories - Ground Floor - GAME OVER!!! FIENDS of LORD STOUT WIN!!!!!

[CrimsonFox]

[CrimsonFox]

A little bird flies to your window and hits its head on the glass.
You run to its side and pick it up. As it gasps its last little breath, it utters three simple words you longed to hear: "Reread the rules."

The sad cello music plays on...

[CrimsonFox]

I will send out PMs through the day on Wednesday. I'm sure there will be people that will FORGET that we are playing (whistles innocently) so giving a little time to gather the group again. The game does not start until I say in thread. You can check into the game whenever just so that we know you are back (even if you haven't received a PM yet).

[saldana]

im here, but i appear to be alone in the thread...

[spleen1015]

Hi.

[DaddyTorgo]

woo woo...let's get this motha rollin!!

[DaddyTorgo]

zoinks - this game looks epic

[JAG]

I'm here and have not reveived a PM yet. Or maybe I have and I'm getting a head start on lying. Either way, I'm here to collect treasure, keep my blood inside me, and help ensure my side is victorious.

[bhlloy]

I'm around - first day back at work (which is why I voted for an earlier start) and sick as a dog, which is fun. No PM yet for me either

[saldana]

so i have 2 questions about the rules

1. is the hunter's NK ability a one time only, or does he have it every night?
and
2. in the below quote, it says you cant go back and read any other thread, and then it says you can go back to see information you forgot...seems contradictory

(You will be told in thread. Do not move to a different thread until you are told). If you are told to move to a new thread, you must leave the current thread and go to the new one. When you arrive at the new thread, you may not go back and read any other thread. When you go to a new thread, you may read the entire thread all the way back to the beginning. (The rooms are weird and project past occurrences like movies on the wall). You may quote things from the thread you are in but you may never QUOTE something from another thread, although you may talk about something you remember or you may go back to another thread to get information you forgot.

[saldana]

dola, one more..
do the lovers know who each other are and can they PM

[Chief Rum]

Wait, I don't get this. Are we playing or not? I don't have a PM.

CF, don't do confusing things!

[ntndeacon]

check, czech, check-check. Is this thing on?

[bhlloy]

According to Wikipedia the Czech Republic has over 20 types of wolf. Therefore ntndeacon is a wolf. Do I win?

Ask the sky not to be blue while you're at it, Chief.

I'm going to go read CF's shiny new rules.

2. I will rewrite the last sentence. It should read "you may physically move back to the previous thread in order to find out the information you forgot" or something like that.

1. You do not know the specifics of any role but hunters usually just can do their thing just once.

[britrock88]

Checking in; traveling today, so if there's a super-quick vote turnaround tonight that I miss, you know why.

[DaddyTorgo]

Got my PM - woo!

[CrimsonFox]

The immense door creaks open of the huge Stout Mansion. It was certainly a strange invitation you received, but you were in need of a day in the country for sure. You don't particularly remember any of your relatives being very well-off but a fortune is a fortune. You can pretend to be related to pink elephants if it will get you rich. A very severe butler comes into view.

"Good evening. I am your servant, Hogsworth. You have been expected. The others have all arrived. Please follow me." He leads you into a grand hall at the base of an immense stair. Numerous people are already in attendance all dressed to the nines. The butler turns and addresses the crowd.

"If there is anything I may be of assistance with please feel free to ask. There are bellpulls in every room so
RING BELL FOR HOGSWORTH and then ask your question.

if you have any pressing questions to ask me. Now you know the master has sent you each a letter. Hidden throughout his mansion is a fortune and you must find it.

It is hidden in the objects and rooms throughout. You may INSPECT an item or UNINSPECT it but you must be finished by the day deadline. You may move to a different room listed in the location section of a room description by saying GO location and UNGO location to change your mind. I hope my master's accommodations for you are adequate and you gregariously enjoy your stay.

I will lead you to your beginning room very soon. For now, why don't you introduce yourself and tell me what you want to drink."

[mauchow]

Hi !

[Darth Vilus]

The name is Darth Vilus and I would like a strong brandy if you will please

[ntndeacon]

The letter said I should use the name Ntndeacon.

[GoldenEagle]

I should use the name Goldeneagle.

[The Jackal]

Jackal here. Nothing like a get together with a bunch of relatives you've never met. Any hot cousins twenty times removed?

[The Jackal]

Enjoy drinking your fruit flavored liquor from a tulip.

Jackal takes scotch, single malt, neat.

[booradley]

Booradley here. Mother's milk, Hogsworth. There's a good chap ...

Margarita please. Strawberry.

[bhlloy]

With a name like Hogsworth I hope there is some good old English ale around here somewhere. I'll take a tankard of that please sport

[DaddyTorgo]

[saldana]

tom collins with a slice of lime...thanks, and a bag of money if you have one...cheers.

[Autumn]

Autumn checking in, and ready to get what's mine. While I'm at it, bring me your most expensive beverage. Might as well start racking up the value. Bring it in your most expensive glass, too.

[Autumn]

Anyone ever watch that game show that was a grocery store shopping spree? I'm going to think like those guys.

[Autumn]

I'm presuming first deadline is tomorrow. And we're waiting to be escorted to our beginning rooms. Don't drink too much, or it will be the bathroom.

You are waiting for me to finish some last little bit of setup. Still about a handful of people who haven't rechecked in from the holidays too.

[GoldenEagle]

Am I only real man here that wants to drink a beer?

[Darth Vilus]

Cool cool, just checking

[mauchow]

[Passacaglia]

This makes me want to run something based on The Westing Game.
