You know, as long as you keep responding to me, I have no choice but to delay my Sam and Dean time.

And yes. She's on her way out, though, don't know why you would want to waste it on her.

Feel free to make alliances, and trade information. Also, any player can also trade certain powers to other players. For example, if Person A has a role block that is tradeable, he can give that role block to Person B, for Person B to use at his own discretion. This is also a strategy for alliances, and could be used to buy other people's vote. If you would like to make a transaction, PM me with what you would like to trade, and who you would like to give it to. This wheeling and dealing is not only allowed, but encouraged.

DAY AND NIGHT CYCLE

DAY {STANDARD LYNCH}

The day and night cycle is very different from the norm. Day's will be the standard public poll, but instead of the person with the most votes being eliminated, the lynched will be nominated for the next stage.

NIGHT {COURTROOM}

The accused's fate will be decided by an anonymous poll. PM me during this period, on whether the lynched should be eliminated or not. Your vote will be completely secret. Also PM me all night actions during this time.

WINNING

If a team of two makes it to the end, then they automatically win. If two players from two separate teams make it to the end, the winner will be chosen by a secret, predetermined method that will be revealed at the end of the game.

EXTRA INFO AND SUMMARY

1. Open BTSC (Feel free to PM anyone about the game.)
2. No editing or deleting of posts.
3. Role outing is allowed and encouraged. Lying about your role is also allowed and encouraged.
4. No double-targeting (targeting the same individual with a power twice in a row).
5. No disrespectful behavior.
6. Dead players should not post on-topic and should be in dead red. There is a "dead" button when posting for this function.
7. Off-topic posts should be in off-topic green. There is an "OT" button when posting for this function.
8. Posts from non-players should be in non-player blue. There is a "np" button when posting for this function.
9. Day's will be 24 hours, Night's will also be 24 hours.
10. Certain people at a certain point will be required to put a certain image as their avatar or in their signature. If this is a problem, PM me.
11. Crazy shenanigans are guaranteed, but these are not created to be in any certain player's favor, at least intentionally.
12. This is only Phase 1.
13. If you have any questions, think you've found an error, or need help, send a PM to insertnamehere or the mod on duty, *tbd*
14. No copy and pasting or screenshoting my PM's to you. Other then that, feel free to tell all. Or lie.
15. Anyone who uses the letter "k" as a word will be banned. No exceptions.

Well if Epig and Elo are the ones jailed... Hedge'll be a good kill IMO.

FYI, I guess this is kind of on topic, but I'm using off topic green to ensure that I'm telling the truth. Thinking about it, though, I guess that doesn't really prove jack, but anyway...

This game is exhausting. Really, it is. FYI, I haven't decided yet, but I prolly won't use my NK on anyone. Unless Elo screams bloody murder when she finally gets online, then I might. The most honest I've been with anyone outside of Elo in this game, is probably Vomps. I really did want to start a giggles club with you and Goose, Vomps. This game got so serious it suddenly became silly, if that makes sense.

Also, I was kidding when saying Bullz shouldn't feel proud wearing a winners banner. In case that wasn't clear.

Okay, my off topic on topic post is now over. You may continue.

#856

Vote Hedgeowl

I owe Epi like 70 favors in this game, Hedgie. Sorry.

#857

Wow, for such a quiet thread, everyone got very talkative today.

The red part there is a link. To a picture of Elo asking Lizzy to vote DH and saying she can get a bandwagon against him. This despite having done her best to convince us she was on our side.

I just want to say that I had SO much fun in this game!

It was fun to walk the line between two BTSCs (I've been doing it since Day2). I guess I had to get found out sometime. Turns out I PMed the wrong swing voter

I voted for Hedge (sorry). Reason being, someone asked me to. I voted for Snowdog. Reason being, your partner voted me and I feel I should pile my vote on top of someone who already has votes. I will try to save myself as best I can...fight to the end.

If somehow I do no go to court/jail, I am sure I will not have BTSC with anyone anymore. Too bad, it was great fun

But, If you all keep me around, I still have one Hound gas left and I could be a bit of an asset to you

See thats what I thought, but DH said it was only things won in puzzles, so I asked.

INH - could you clarify what is tradeable?

Not that it matters since I'll probably be a goner. Since my hand is forced I am voting off the Epi/Elo. You were a cute conniving couple while it lasted

Really? You didn't like my new names for you? I thought they were cute.

I am clearly not the threat in this game, but waste an NK at DH's request just like other have wasted their powers for "alliances".

I can confirm it was tradeable. I can't show you nthe PM. Not allowed.

Snow Dog wrote: I can confirm it was tradeable. I can't show you nthe PM. Not allowed.

I think you should cheat. I'm going to.

#862

Hedge, I won't be using my NK on you. Nor anyone. Honestly, I'm worried if I try to use my NK on someone, I will die instead, and then everyone will have giggles against me, and I don't want that to happen. I will just get voted off tomorrow, or if someone does have a NK, maybe even be killed tonight.

Interesting, I believe DH told me the same thing about switching powers. Back before I originally died, or went to jail or whatever, I offered to switch my power for DH's, which was useless, and he said we weren't allowed.

I wonder if INH gave DH a different power after he pretty much made DH's useless, and that's why DH didn't want to trade.

Elohcin - You have been a great player this game. Apologies, if I hadn't gone full throttle right at the beginning, we both might be in a better place. Will make it up to you eventually! Swearsies!

Not that this will change your mind but DH's power is what it always was. Either INH or someone else told us that only won powers could be traded, which is why he has gone around saying that. We told Snow the same thing and then he told us we were wrong.

#864

Not that it would change my mind?

Haha, believe it or not, I don't think everything you say is a lie. I was just pondering. Thanks for your answer, though.

Seriously, I'm beat. INH, great game. I don't know if you had planned for all this double cross nonsense, but it has been fun to the last.

#865

I'll give you this Matt, you're a hoot. As for Elo, figured she'd turn her coat once I found out she was with MP et al. She's not a convincing liar :P

FTR, I have had the same power all game and it is not tradeable. I was told Matt's power wasn't tradeable, and therefore he couldn't give it to me. I assume anything with "You have XXX you can trade this if you wish" is tradeable, and everything else isn't. Because what I got for getting the riddles was tradeable, though I used it up already.

#866

Btw, if we are allowed to trade powers, I'd be happy to trade my NKs so I don't get NKd myself. Of course, whoever I traded with just might NK me, but that's a chance I'm willing to take.

Any takers? PM me if interested.

I'm not sure if you are talking about your role in this game, or if you are making fun about Supernatural.

Either way,

No cakes for me

Either way,

Supernatural didn't actually cross my mind, but now that you mention it yes. I was totally doing both.

Linki - I suspect I won't be getting any cakes either DH. We'll just have to make our own!

#872

Wth? Is this cake talk some kind of secret code?

I'm intrigued by Llama talking about cheating. Cheating rules!

#873

Fuck, Bullz, Matt is on to us! Abandon ship! CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!

#874

Matt F wrote:Wth? Is this cake talk some kind of secret code?

Some btsc partner you must be if you don't even know about Elo's mafia-famous cake industry.

#875

Btw, looks like Jigsaw is the remaining voter we're missing.

If I were Epi and Hedgie, I'd be PMing him promising him the world right now.

Linki - I knew it! Secret codes about cake. I'm always right in mafia, you know.

Linki 2 - Yeah, after Day 1, Elo pretty much distanced herself from as much as possible. I know nothing of cake.

#876

Btw, now that Elo is surely going to die, I don't suppose I can join the DH/Bullz Drone Squad. I have two NKs!

#877

Uh we prefer Platoon, thank you very much

#878

So Llama, what's this about cheating?

#879

Llama is going to give himself Park Avenue for free. What a cheat!

#880

I'm going to cheat now and see what happens:

^ ^ v v < > < > B A

Did it work?

#881

Big-Head Mode Unlocked!

Nope, I'm afraid I'm still dead in Supernatural.

cute conniving couple? We barely talked throughout the game (about the game).

not a convincing liar? I was on two BTSC teams since Day 2. I think I did pretty well holding on as long as I did

@ Matt - http://www.facebook.com/LitteMissCakesNC - that is my business. Wish you all lived closer. I'd make you some cakes

#888

You were clever and sneaky for a while there Elo :P It went downhill when you tried to convince us you were just in MP's chat as a spy though.

#889

Thing was, I was in both chats to spy

#890

So, I'm willing to bet if you all vote for Eloh to not go to jail, she will send you free cake.

#891

B-B-B-But we trusted you

I guess you could say these are your...... JUST DESERTS!

#892

I still love you all. I was so much fun.

#893

It! It was so much fun.* Although, I think I was fun too, I guess.

#894

You were fun :o

#895

Also, I'm really enjoying the benefits of having computer labs in all the classes I'm taking this semester.

#896

Always enjoy you, Elo!

What tie?

Elo- I just liked the sound of 'cute conniving couple' since I was voting for you both. I didnt mean you had been conniving together so much.

Well, looks like still Epi had to vote. Have fun ya'll! (I am back to my vacation in Portland. Maybe I'll drink some microbrew tonight to drown my sorrows...

I’ve missed something, haven’t I?

Very shortly afterwards Sherlock has taken off his coat and is sitting on a sofa in the elegant sitting room and looking around. As he hears footsteps approaching, he sits up a little and holds the handkerchief to his cheek.
IRENE (offscreen): Hello. Sorry to hear that you’ve been hurt. I don’t think Kate caught your name.
SHERLOCK: I’m so sorry. I’m ...
(He turns and looks at Irene as she walks into view and stops at the doorway. His voice fails him as he realises that, with the exception of high-heeled shoes, she is stark naked. His jaw drops a little.)
IRENE: Oh, it’s always hard to remember an alias when you’ve had a fright, isn’t it?
(She walks into the room and stands directly in front of him, straddling his legs and half-kneeling on the sofa, then reaches forward and pulls the white plastic dog collar from his shirt collar.)
IRENE: There now – we’re both defrocked ...
(She smiles down at him.)
IRENE: ... Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
SHERLOCK (in his normal voice): Miss Adler, I presume.
IRENE (gazing down at his face): Look at those cheekbones. I could cut myself slapping that face. Would you like me to try?
(Narrowing her eyes, she lifts the white plastic to her mouth and bites down on it. As Sherlock stares up at her in confusion, John walks into the room carrying a bowl of water and a fabric napkin. His eyes are lowered to the bowl to avoid spilling its contents.)
JOHN: Right, this should do it.
(He stops dead in the doorway as he lifts his eyes and sees the scene in front of him. Irene looks round to him, the plastic still in her teeth. John looks at her awkwardly, then down at the bowl before looking up again.)
JOHN: I’ve missed something, haven’t I?
(Irene takes the plastic from her teeth.)
IRENE: Please, sit down.
(She steps back from Sherlock, who fidgets uncomfortably on the sofa as she walks away.)
IRENE: Oh, if you’d like some tea I can call the maid.
SHERLOCK: I had some at the Palace.
IRENE: I know.
(She sits down in a nearby armchair and crosses her legs, folding her arms gracefully to obscure the view of her chest.)
SHERLOCK: Clearly.
(They stare silently at each other for several seconds, weighing each other up. John looks at them awkwardly.)
JOHN: I had a tea, too, at the Palace, if anyone’s interested.
(Sherlock’s eyes are still fixed on Irene as he attempts to make as many deductions as he can about her. His final analysis is as follows:
???????
Bewildered, he turns and looks at John and starts to analyse him.)
Looking at his neckline: Two Day Shirt
Looking at his lower face: Electric not blade
Looking at the bottom of his jeans and his shoes: Date tonight
(John frowns as Sherlock continues to gaze at him.)
Looking at John’s right eyebrow: Hasn’t phoned sister
Looking at John’s lower lip: New toothbrush
Looking just underneath his eyes: Night out with Stamford
(Relieved that he hasn’t had a brain embolism, Sherlock slowly turns his head and looks at Irene again. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he applies all his deductive reasoning as she smiles confidently back at him, and he quickly comes to the following conclusion:
???????
He frowns.)
IRENE: D’you know the big problem with a disguise, Mr. Holmes?
(He quirks an eyebrow at her.)
IRENE: However hard you try, it’s always a self-portrait.
SHERLOCK: You think I’m a vicar with a bleeding face?
IRENE: No, I think you’re damaged, delusional and believe in a higher power. In your case, it’s yourself.
(Finally fed up with the tightness of his shirt, Sherlock starts unbuttoning the top two buttons. Irene leans forward.)
IRENE: Oh, and somebody loves you. Why, if I had to punch that face, I’d avoid your nose and teeth too.
(She glances across to John momentarily. John forces a laugh.)
JOHN: Could you put something on, please? Er, anything at all. (He looks down at what he’s holding.) A napkin.
IRENE: Why? Are you feeling exposed?
SHERLOCK (standing up): I don’t think John knows where to look.
(He picks up his coat, shakes it out and holds it out to Irene. Ignoring him for the moment, she stands up and walks closer to John, who rolls his head on his neck uncomfortably and forces himself to maintain eye contact with her and not to let his eyes wander lower.)
IRENE: No, I think he knows exactly where.
(She turns to Sherlock who is still holding out the coat while steadfastly keeping his gaze averted.)
IRENE (taking the coat from him): I’m not sure about you.
SHERLOCK: If I wanted to look at naked women I’d borrow John’s laptop.
JOHN: You do borrow my laptop.
SHERLOCK: I confiscate it.
(He walks over to the fireplace opposite the sofa.)
IRENE (putting the coat on and wrapping it around her): Well, never mind. We’ve got better things to talk about. Now tell me – I need to know.
(She walks over to the sofa and sits down.)
IRENE: How was it done?
SHERLOCK: What?
IRENE (taking her shoes off): The hiker with the bashed-in head. How was he killed?
(The boys look confused.)
SHERLOCK: That’s not why I’m here.
IRENE: No, no, no, you’re here for the photographs but that’s never gonna happen, and since we’re here just chatting anyway ...
JOHN: That story’s not been on the news yet. How do you know about it?
IRENE: I know one of the policemen. Well, I know what he likes.
JOHN: Oh. (He sits down beside her.) And you like policemen?
IRENE: I like detective stories – and detectives. Brainy’s the new sexy.
SHERLOCK (incoherently): Positionofthecar ...
(John turns his head and stares at him as he pulls himself together.)
SHERLOCK (starting to pace slowly): Er, the position of the car relative to the hiker at the time of the backfire. That and the fact that the death blow was to the back of the head. That’s all you need to know.
IRENE: Okay, tell me: how was he murdered?
SHERLOCK: He wasn’t.
IRENE: You don’t think it was murder?
SHERLOCK: I know it wasn’t.
IRENE: How?
SHERLOCK: The same way that I know the victim was an excellent sportsman recently returned from foreign travel and that the photographs I’m looking for are in this room.
IRENE: Okay, but how?
SHERLOCK: So they are in this room. Thank you. John, man the door. Let no-one in.
(The two of them exchange a significant look, then John gets up and puts the bowl and napkin on a table before leaving the room and closing the door behind him. In the hallway he looks around, then picks up a magazine from a nearby table and rolls it up. Back in the sitting room, Irene sits up straighter, looking suspiciously at the closed door.)
SHERLOCK (starting to pace again): Two men alone in the countryside several yards apart, and one car.
IRENE: Oh. I – I thought you were looking for the photos now.
SHERLOCK: No, no. Looking takes ages. I’m just going to find them but you’re moderately clever and we’ve got a moment, so let’s pass the time.
(He stops and turns to her.)
SHERLOCK: Two men, a car, and nobody else.
(He squats down and suddenly it’s as if he is at the crime scene, squatting down next to the driver’s door of Phil’s car. Inside, frozen in time, Phil’s face is screwed up with rage as he is about to slam his hands angrily onto the steering wheel.)
SHERLOCK: The driver’s trying to fix his engine. Getting nowhere.
(Straightening up, he turns and looks into the field.)
SHERLOCK: And the hiker’s taking a moment, looking at the sky.
(Now he’s down in the field, walking around the hiker.)
SHERLOCK: Watching the birds?
(He looks doubtful.)
SHERLOCK: Any moment now, something’s gonna happen. What?
(Irene is sitting on her sofa which has mysteriously appeared in the field near the hiker.)
IRENE: The hiker’s going to die.
SHERLOCK: No, that’s the result. What’s going to happen?
IRENE: I don’t understand.
SHERLOCK: Oh, well, try to.
IRENE: Why?
SHERLOCK: Because you cater to the whims of the pathetic and take your clothes off to make an impression. Stop boring me and think. It’s the new sexy.

It is now Night 7. PM me with your Night Actions and if you want Hedgeowl to be eliminated, and if you want Elochin to be eliminated. You have 24 hours.

The Final Problem
