Lord Adalbert D'Ysquith - Eighth Earl of Highhurst and patriarch of the D'Ysquith clan. Adalbert's vote counts for two in every lynch.
Asquith D'Ysquith, Sr. - Asquith Sr. is just about the only reasonable and level-headed person in this story. Asquith may stop one lynch.
Asquith D'Ysquith, Jr. - A bit of an upper-class twit. Each night he can send a player an impolite letter, removing them from the lynch poll the next day.
Reverend Ezekial D'Ysquith – The clergyman of the family, and also an architecture enthusiast. The reverend will show someone around his church each night, protecting them from all targets.
Lady Hyacinth D'Ysquith – Lady Hyacinth is a globe-trotting philanthropist, and she's absurdly hard to kill. Each time she is about to be killed or lynched, there is a 50% chance that she will survive.
Henry D'Ysquith – Henry is a country beekeeper. Each night he will send his bees to discover another player's identity.
Major Bartholomew D'Ysquith – Each night Major Bartholomew will force another player to accompany him to the weightlifting hall, blocking them for the night.
Lady Salome D'Ysquith-Pumphrey – Salome is an actress so dreadful that every night her performance will insanify another player for the next day.
Phoebe D'Ysquith – Henry's sister and Monty's second love interest. SECRET
Chauncey D'Ysquith - SECRET
BADDIES (3)
Monty Navarro – Monty is the son of a disowned D'Ysquith daughter, and he'll stop at nothing to claim the family fortune. He kills every night. Monty will also survive the first attempt on his life. SECRET
Sibella Holland – Deceitful and delectable, she is Monty's first love interest, but unfortunately a married woman. Sibella may redirect a player's power every night.
Miss Shingle – Miss Shingle is an old friend of Monty's mother, and the instigator of the whole story. She can control another player's vote each lynch.
INDEPENDENT (1)
Chief Inspector Pinckney – The Inspector is determined to see the killer brought to justice but he doesn't really care about the D'Ysquiths either way. The Inspector will win if he survives and Monty dies, but can win with either the civvies or the baddies.
PLAYER LIST: Birdwithteeth11 - killed Night 4 - Henry D'Ysquith
Dom - Phoebe D'Ysquith - WINNER!
Elohcin - Killed Night 6 by Sibella - Lord Adalbert D'Ysquith
Epignosis - Lynched Day 1 - Asquith D'Ysquith, Jr.
Golden - Killed Night 5 by Chauncey - Miss Shingle - WINNER!
Greybonez - lynched Day 4 - Lady Salome D'Ysquith-Pumphrey
Lipsticklacey - replaced by Fingersplints - Sibella Holland - WINNER!
Llama - killed Night 7 - Asquith D'Ysquith, Sr.
Metalmarsh - Lynched Day 6 - Monty Navarro - WINNER!
Roxy - lynched Day 7 - Chauncey D'Ysquith
Scotty - lynched Day 8 - Reverend Ezekial D'Ysquith
Sorsha - Lady Hyacinth D'Ysquith
Spacedaisy - Killed Night 3 - Chief Inspetor Pinckney
Turnip Head - Lynched Day 2 - Major Bartholomew D'Ysquith
RULES:
1. The host color is magenta. Don't use magenta.
2. No role outing. Hinting is allowed, but if it's blatant it's poor form.
3. Missing 3 lynch votes in a row will result in being replaced. If no replacements are available, modkilling is an option.
3a. I will only allow people who were not already in the game to be replacements.
4. Be polite and respectful. If you have a problem, please talk to MP.
5. Off topic in green, dead in red.

Murder! Mayhem! Music!
You shouldn't be afraid, it's just a simple sort of game
A rather simple game called mafia
Though you may find a blade or end up in the ghastly aim
Of a villain who'd love nothing but to off ya
So take care and do your best, try to find the baddies all
Make them fall beneath the power of your vote
If deceit is your real quest you can find yourself standing tall
As an earl, a stately gentleman of note
"I'm glad you have all finally arrived, though I daresay punctuality is a dying art even among the nobility," said Lord Adalbert. "I have summoned you all because..of THIS!"
He produced a note which simply stated one punny word: DIE-SQUITH.
"Someone is threatening our noble lineage!" he continued. "We must find the killer and see them brought to justice!"
"We have to find them!" shouted Golden.
"And fast!" declared Epignosis.
"We'll cuff and bind them!" added Sorsha.
"And make it last!" said Dom, trying to make a rhyme without bothering whether it made sense.
"Never fear!" declared Inspector Pinckney. "I declare that nobody leave Highhurst Castle until the culprit is uncovered!"
The angry mob agreed wholeheartedly. They would remain until they knew their family tree was safe.
"There's one thing we must do to begin uncovering clues," the detective added. "We must locate the source of this note. It was found in the hall, but it could have come from anywhere. Which wing shall we search first?"
It is now Day 0. Choose a wing of the house to search. You have 24 hours.

That's East Carolina barbecue, which is exactly what you'll get if you go into any joints around here (or pretty much any pig-picking here).

Throw the Book at Them!
"South it is then!" declared Epi, leading the group onwards to the South Wing of the house. As the group entered the library, books began to fall off the shelves at their heads. All the while, a voice sang a mischievous verse from somewhere within the group. Being too shocked to look around, none of the company could tell who was singing sinisterly.
The books descend
And spell their end
I wish to send
A message
I will succeed
And end this greed
This is indeed
My message
"Someone's trying to kill us!" yelled Greybonez as a dictionary crashed next to him.
"It was a trap all along!" insisted Daisy.
"Now, now, settle down," the inspector urged. "There's only one reasonable thing to do...we must lynch the culprit immediately!"
"GASP!" gasped the portraits on the wall.
It is now Day 1. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.
