The Mystery Machine pulls into the drive at Hotel Strangeways. A screaming man in dark blue pajamas runs past the van into the dark.Shaggy cowers in the back seat with ScoobyShaggy: Like, that's a bad sign! Lightning splits the sky overhead and the bulk of the mansion is visible.Shaggy: Zoinks! That's a worse one. Hold me, Scoob! Velma: If you two cowards will stop hiding back there, we can get inside and out of this rain! The door of the hotel has started to open. The gang scurries into the warm hall.Butler: Welcome to Hotel Strangeways. Fred: Who was that man? Someone ran right by us, screaming at the top of his lungs. Butler: (sighing) Another guest has decided to leave us... hastily. That makes eleven since we opened, all frightened away by the ghost, it appears. He said nothing to me. It doesn't even appear that he packed his suitcase. Let me see you to your rooms. Scooby: G-g-ghost? Ruh roh. Velma: Eleven? Jinkees, that's a busy ghost. Butler: Merely the rumors of the superstitious townsfolk. They say it is the ghost of Ethel Strangeways and that she would do anything to keep strangers away. Shaggy: How about we just leave now? Shaggy makes a move toward the door with Scooby close behind. Fred grabs them both by their collars.Fred: Oh no you don't. We're going up to our rooms and will start investigating in the morning! Besides, I've heard that the best Scooby Snacks in the world are made right here at Hotel Strangeways! Butler: Indeed, sir, we are known for our Scooby Snacks AND our ghost. We deliver fresh Scooby Snacks to every guest every morning. Scooby and Shaggy both look dazzled as they all traipse upstairs until Dawn.--------- Day 1 begins as soon as you receive your role PM. Please check in once you have received it. Day 1 will last until Friday, April 1 at 3 pm EDT.

There is no editing during the game, scuzzlebutt. Because of the rule violation, you may continue to participate during this Day and may transfer Snacks, but you may not vote this Day.

I don't know about a filter. Is it board-wide? <snipped> fuck shit cunt ass dick and apparantly whoever installed the filter is asexual since both female and male derogatives are "naughty bits". of course i always figured that as long as he could call 'em nanny ed would get a stiffy regardless of gender.

Yeah, but I believe I am a piece of china (yes, I'm a quality teapot), and the Monkey Boy believes he's Kirk Douglas, so can you really be sure of anything around here?

Just as a reminder here are the rules. I'm actually a fairly cuddly mod and will do my best to answer any questions. Questions in this thread should be made bold green. Questions can also be sent directly via PM. Nudge me if ever you see a question going unanswered. I will at least drop a "No comment" in if it's something I can't or won't answer. Everyone should have received two PMs from me at this point. Please send me a PM if you haven't received both. Thanks.

It's on the admin page I think it's called censored words. Some of them should stay, but the ones I put in all have an asterisk on them and can be removed.

If there is a tie, the first person who reached that vote level who is part of the tie will be arrested. If anyone reached that level first but was later unvoted, they are not vulnerable to the tie-breaker.
from the mod(s) in the rules thread.
ok this kind of seems straightforward enough. two folks end up with x number of votes. first one who got there gets stretched. and if that person is unvoted and then revoted the other person does. right?
what happens if both folks get unvoted, however, and then revoted. there is a tie but neither is vulnerable to the tie breaker per the rules. does the second highest vote getter outside of the leaders get it or what?

and another question. since we seem to have more than our usual number of first timers (at least to this board) do we spend the first day(s) going over the standard crap or assume that everyone read the syllabus?

As the newbs have probably noticed, Peeker is our resident grump. He's harmless, unless he is scum of course. With 22, probably 4 or 5 scum. And of course the Butler did it, those pesky kids! Unless there is a caretaker, cook, fairground owner, or any other one the usual suspects in scooby doo

And the most immediate question from the opening color - where's Daphne!

Did you mean to ask the question in bold and green? If not, here's my take on it: ok this kind of seems straightforward enough. two folks end up with x number of votes. first one who got there gets stretched. and if that person is unvoted and then revoted the other person does. right? No, the player who reached x votes first will still be lynched. For example: Peeker (2, 2-102): Guiri (101), Idle (102) Guiri (2, 2-104): Peeker (103), Story (104) If Idle then unvotes you and someone else votes you instead, you still get lynched as you reached 2 votes before me: Peeker (2, 2-102): Guiri (101), Idle (102-105), Julie (106) Guiri (2, 2-104): Peeker (103), Story (104) No, whoever got the highest number of votes first is still lynched: Peeker (2, 2-102): Guiri (101), Idle (102-105), Julie (106) Guiri (2, 2-104): Peeker (103), Story (104-107), Giraffe (108) I think it's just like in the Holy Grail game. And the most immediate question from the opening color - where's Daphne! Good catch. I expect she's been kidnapped, tied up, gagged and left imprisoned yelling "Scooby-Doo! Where are you?!", as usual.
