Host: Hello everyone, I'm your host, Nigel Thornberry, and I welcome you to a smashing game of Wintreath's Got talent!
(https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fjcdn.com%2Fpictures%2FNigel%2BPattinson_f8ce00_3768731.jpg&hash=06d4afbe7585490c0b3964d8e15ad229)
Nigel: In this game, the contestants will go all willy nilly in voting together on who will perform in front of the judges. Obviously in this game, performing in front of the judges is the most dreadful thing that can happen, since they're more likely to give you the boot.

Nigel: To add to the delight of the show, the producers have allowed 3 talentless individuals in, so that they'll ruin other contestants' tricks and get them booted. They hope to steal the win for themselves and become the next Talent Extraordinare. So not smashing!

Nigel: But to make things a little more fair to the contestants, they've also hired some unusual new acts to help them out. First we have:
The Fabulous Frannie!

Nigel: Frannie comes to us from parts unknown...how devilishly smashing! During each commercial break, she'll use her collection of cards to ask about one of the contestants. The response she'll get back may tell her if that contestant is a smashing new friend, or a not so smashing saboteur!
Nigel: Next up, we have the unusual, but equally smashing Wall Sons!

Nigel: These lovely fellows come to us from one of the most unusual places known to man: Cleveland, Ohio! These skilled brothers, known as Billy and Dave, can build walls in a matter of minutes out of anything they can find. They hope to use this skill to protect our contestants from the hands of the saboteurs. How smashing! Unfortunately, their vain nature won't let them protect the same person twice in a row, and to add to the dilemma, they won't protect each other! But they can still defend themselves of course.
Nigel: Last up, we have the most smooth talking, positively handsome chap of the show, Frankie G!

Nigel: Mmmyes, doesn't he just look smashing! Frankie G comes to us from Pailiway, a positively smashing place that I have no idea where it's at! During three total showtimes, Frankie G can redirect all majority votes to someone of his choosing. And because he's such a smashing guy with an equally smashing clause in his contract, he can also cancel out all activities during a single commercial break.
Nigel: And that's it for our contestants, and now for the less than smashing part, the rules!
(https://static.fjcdn.com/pictures/Screw_c2ea2a_2365263.jpg)
1) The Wall Sons cannot defend the same person twice in one night. Because of envy towards each other, they also will not defend each other, but they can still defend themselves.
2) Because Frankie G is the most amazin' guy, he will share his win with either winning team, and he will most likely charm his way to become Wintreath's top contestant. For those wanting to take the top spot instead, getting him booted is obviously a priority.
3) The show will have two sections: Showtime, in which our cameras will be rolling for 48 hours as the contestants decide who to send up next...and Commercial Break, where the specialty roles will be off doing their own thing for 24 hours.
4) To choose a contestant to send up after deciding who you want, simply say Vote: Send ______ to the stage. All votes must be placed in the thread or they will not count. You're welcome to talk as a group and discuss who you believe should be sent up next.
5) Since we can't have a show without a performer, there must ALWAYS be someone chosen to go up on stage. If there are any rounds where a consensus can't be reached (a tie vote or no votes for anyone), there will be penalties enacted in the form of either a forced send up, a role reveal, power loss, or something else entirely.
6) Roles cannot be revealed publicly, meaning you can't say that you're a specific role in the game. However, Fantastic Frannie will be allowed to still add known contestants to her private discussion.
7) All messaging between players will be controlled by the host. Any rogue messages that are sent and discovered will enact a penalty.
8 ) There will be a Behind the Scenes PM for those who are booted off the show. If you're booted from the show, you can say your final goodbye in the game (much like if you're kicked from a reality show, you get that last moment to talk), and then you can move on to the Behind the Scenes PM if you choose.
9) All contestants (even those chosen for the specialty roles) may choose to message the Host (aka PM me) with the talent they choose. This can be a simple line saying what you wish to do in front of the judges, or it can be a detailed scenario. If you end up being booted from the show, your talent will be shown for all to see, for example:
Host: Hey folks, and welcome back to Taco Island's Got Talent! Our next performer is a bit of a doozy, and might make some of you at home a bit queezy, but we hope you'll enjoy this next amazing feat!
Alfred "Ater Nox" Noxuma walks on stage.
Alfred: Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen. Tonight I will perform a feat unseen by man for centuries. I learnt this death defying skill on from an ancient tribe located in the deepest, darkest corners of the Amazon. Tonight, I will attempt to eat a Peanut Butter Sandwich using only one hand. Before I begin, I must warn you: Do not try this at home.
Ater Nox approaches the sandwich and slowly lifts it with his right hand.
Alfred: Wait, this isn't right... This is a Jam Sandwich!
Alfred wipes some sweat from his brow with his other hand as he tries to lift the sandwich to biting height. Unfortunately his hand is shaking so much with nerves all he manages to do is smear the sandwich all over his face. As the crowd begins to boo, security guards enter the stage to remove him.
As he is dragged from the stage, Ater Nox shouts
Alfred: Wait, I have more tricks! I can drink a glass of water blindfolded! I can walk backwards with no shoes on! I can even arrive at a bus stop exactly a minute before the bus arrives! Please, give me another chance!
Alfred "Ater Nox" Noxuma's trick has been sabotaged, and he has been booted from the show. He was the only contestant that the audience fell asleep watching.
an example of a contestant-submitted scenario. All ending scenarios will follow this structure when I write them up.
Nigel: And that explains the show! Smashing, right? If there's any questions, comments, or concerns, you can write them down in our suggestion box, and we'll answer them as quick as possible. (in other words, ask in here or PM :P) Have a positively smashing game!

Hello there, other contestants!

Hello there...what's your talent?
-
I... uh... do stuff! And things!
-
Just a reminder: You can send me a message with the talent that you choose, whether it be a fully written scenario or a sentence...it's up to you.
Your talent will be shown when you're chosen to perform in front of the judges.
If you're chosen and have no talent that you wanted, don't worry...I'll make one up for you. :)
-
I... uh... do stuff! And things!
You don't know what your talent is?

Hi all, good luck - unless your a saboteur, in which case I hope you fall off the stage and break a leg :P
-
Very suspecious. :P
-
Hola fellow contestants! May the fun begin!
-
Hello everyone, and Good Luck!
*starts twirling a baton and dancing with a mop on stage, while the "1812 Overture" blasts in the background*

Good luck guys.

Good luck everyone!

Just waiting to hear back from a few more people, then we can start. :)

Morning everyone! And good luck!

Welcome everyone! And good luck :)

Hello

Just waiting to hear back from Aragonn, VarunHelbi, Vinaza, and Colberius X. Too bad we can't tag people in threads. :P

Never fear! I have arrived! :D

Just waiting to hear back from Aragonn, VarunHelbi, Vinaza, and Colberius X. Too bad we can't tag people in threads. :P
I feel like there's an improvement suggestion in here somewhere... :P
-
I'm here! Sorry about the late entrance. My flight had to take a detour...
-
No worries.
While we haven't heard from two of the players. I'll go ahead and start this since the majority have responded back.
It's showtime folks!
Time to get those votes in on who you want to perform in front of the judges! Remember, there must always be someone to perform in front of the judges. So that means there won't be any rounds of no votes.
This round will last until Wednesday, January 14th, at 8:00PM PST.
-
Vote: Send Colberius X to the stage.
-
But...he's your friend! Your region-mate! Why? ;-;
-
Well, I see how it is. Someone's in a hurry to eliminate me.
-
He might be pushing him out due to experience with him and such. They have played against each other before, after all.
-
Right-o; terribly late, but still here nevertheless. c:
-
He might be pushing him out due to experience with him and such. They have played against each other before, after all.
We've never done anything like this before, actually. At least, not together.
-

Actually, this is my first time playing Werewolf.

Really? Hmm, thought you two had played together before, my apologies. Don't know why I figured that...
Well then it would appear that that vote is because fuck Colberius...
-
Well then it would appear that that vote is because fuck Colberius...
So it would seem. I won't forget this, Aragonn, but I see no reason to return your hostility. Yet.
However, I don't really want to perform yet, so... Any volunteers to go first? Or at least some suggestions?
-
Well then it would appear that that vote is because fuck Colberius...
This isn't a "fuck Colberius". Without him, I wouldn't be here playing this with y'all.
Besides Wintermoot, Colby was the only familiar name I saw. And I'm pretty sure Colby won't be the popular vote this round. (Assuming anyone else votes...)
-
Random selection says Vote: Lynch Arcadonisia
-
This is just a friendly reminder that the round is still set to end tomorrow, Wednesday, January 14th, at 8:00PM PST. So be sure to get those votes in!
-
If I've got this right, then 19 hours and 22 minutes from the time of this post.
EDIT) For this round of voting.
-
Well, since we have to send someone to perform, even though we don't have much/any evidence at this point, I've resorted to "randomizer.org" to make my selection for me. It said:
Vote: Send Hugsim to the stage.
-
I also did a randomized selection, and it said:
Vote: Send Wintermoot to the stage.
-
I kinda like these other people so far so I'm going to Vote: Send Colberius X to the stage.
-
I kinda like these other people so far so I'm going to Vote: Send Colberius X to the stage.
....that wasn't supposed to happen....
-
I kinda like these other people so far so I'm going to Vote: Send Colberius X to the stage.

Well now.
Mercy, please!
-
I normally like not lynching for the first few days to give the seer a chance to build an army, but since that isn't an option in this game I'll go with a randomizer. Huh, the randomizer says that the butler did it.
Vote: Send Barry to the stage
-
After careful consideration and looking into each of the votes at present...
Vote: Send Arcadonisia to the stage.
-
Because a tie would result in penalties and I don't want to vote for myself...
Vote: Send Arcadonisia to the stage.
-
In keeping with the randomizer,
Vote: Lynch Aragonn
-
The show music plays as the audience cheers loudly.

Nigel: Hello boys and girls, and welcome back to Wintreath's Got Talent! Before we introduce our first performer, it's time to meet our smashing judges! I must warn you fine chaps that they've gone all out this year in their judges in terms of their...well...rather unpleasant dispositions. First off, we have:
(https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fvignette4.wikia.nocookie.net%2Fnonciclopedia%2Fimages%2F7%2F72%2FStewie_non_gli_piaci.jpg%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20100508163128&hash=b5d06c0ff48f3521a2d1cd61ba2e8de2)
Nigel: Judge Stewie Griffin. Stewie may look like a child, but he's has quite the charm and wit for someone older, even if he may engage in the occasional child activity. But he's a fine chap with quite a wonderful accent...but he can be rather testy on most days.
Nigel: Next up, we have a crowd favorite, returning from the previous show, Taco Island's Got Talent. Please put your hands together for Judge Severus Snape!
(https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-vMWYeKiGPVE%2FTl5MsXmlj8I%2FAAAAAAAAB9w%2FZUH0dmN4oiw%2Fs1600%2Fseverusnape.jpg&hash=8a8c2df6580b25e20d26e1542e650f8c)
Nigel: He comes all the way from beyond the grave just to judge this competition. He was an ex professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, played both sides of the field, and was known for having a constant look as if Christmas itself was cancelled forever.
Nigel: Finally, put your hands together for a surprise Judge this year. He was a totally unexpected call in, but I welcome him to the show all the same. Give it up for Judge Speak and Spell!
(https://wintreath.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flh6.ggpht.com%2F_cSLqSdGhFxQ%2FSkG6A2eV0AI%2FAAAAAAAAEU4%2FCksVwFWJCVI%2Fs400%2Fspeak_and_spell_02_op.png&hash=df9af170618a08fbef02c92eb926659a)
Nigel: Judge Speak and Spell is a popular sort, having been all over the world. He's considered one of our more classic judges here today, and he's not afraid to tell it how it is without remorse. How smashing! Now let's move on to our first contestant of the show. Please put your hands together for Alexander "Arcadonisia" Fletcher!
The audience cheers as a meek looking man slowly makes his way to the stage. He stops near one of the stage curtains, as Nigel happily encourages him to continue towards the center.
Stewie: And who the devil are you?
Alexander: My name is Alexander Fletcher.
Snape: And what...talent, will you be performing for us today?
Alexander mumbles something as Stewie stands up on his podium.
Stewie: What was that? Speak up. Some of us here are babies you know! We can't hear everything you mumble.
Alexander: I'll be...singing an opera song called Ave Maria.
Snape leans back in his seat and hits the X on his podium before Alexander even starts. The music starts as Alexander begins to sing. His voice carries beautifully throughout the stage as he sings the song perfectly. But the audience doesn't seem impressed as many of them text on their phones, others fast asleep in their seats. Snape uses this time to "grade" papers, while Stewie attempts to get Speak and Spell to say naughty things. They both take a moment to hit the Xs on their podiums before Stewie laughingly makes Speak and Spell say "Poopy head."
Alexander: ...Thanks for your time.
Alexander walks off stage depressingly.
Off stage
Alexander: I had a difficult time in my life. Everything was starting to fall apart and I felt alone and trapped. My job wasn't going very well, and my girlfriend had just kicked me out. So I decided instead of really dealing with my problems head on, that I'd take a chance with this show and hope I was better than everyone else here because I felt like my talent was unique. I mean nobody really sings Opera that well anymore.
The footage switches to him walking solemnly in slow motion out of the back stage towards the exit doors.
Alexander: But I guess I just wasn't cut out for it. Now I have to go back home and face reality.
Alexander "Arcadonisia" Fletcher, a contestant, has been booted from the show.
That's a wrap folks, let's cut to commercial! We'll be back for our next show at 8:00 PM PST on Thursday. Special roles, please send me a message with your intended victims/targets if you choose to use your power during commercial. Everyone else, take 5! If anyone needs refreshers:
Fabulous Frannie can choose a person to seek the truth of during each commercial break. She can ask a person's name to her cards (aka to me in message), and they will tell her what type of contestant that person is.
The Wall sons will choose someone to build a wall around during each commercial. They will not build walls for each other, and cannot build a wall around the same person twice in a row.
The Saboteurs will choose as a group who they wish to sabotage during the commercial.
Frankie G may negate all powers during one commercial, but his majority-vote-switch power can only be used during showtime.
-
Since someone is already gunning for me, I should probably start working on a talent and a farewell message...

Nigel: Hello boys and girls, Nigel Thornberry here. Coming to you from a nearby studio after recording a smashing new song.
Listen (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4UL2-RvUTc) to my smashing new duet with the equally smashing Ke$ha!
Nigel: It's been quite a smashing commercial break, if I do say so myself. Though there have been reports of a sabotage as well. The judges seemed to have sensed this turn of events, as they decided to call out for that same person to perform. Let's move over to the stage, shall we?
The camera shifts over to the stage, as a rather attractive young woman in a magical outfit walks confidently on stage.
Snape: Your name.
Reon: Francis Reon Blake, but I like to be called the Fabulous Frannie.
Snape raises an eyebrow.
Stewie: And what will you be performing for us?
Reon: One of the oldest magic tricks in the book, pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
Snape sighs as he leans back in his chair.
Snape: Proceed.
Frannie takes off her unusual hat, letting her hair flow down. She waves her hand across the hat and utters a magical incantation. She reaches into the hat, but instead of pulling out a rabbit, she pulls herself into the hat, never to be seen again. The judges look confused for a moment, but decide to hit the Xs on their podiums.
Stewie: Fabulous Frannie? More like Fabulous FANNIE!
Stewie laughs as security grabs the hat and removes it from the stage.
Francis Reon Blake, aka Fabulous Frannie, has been booted from the show after being sabotaged.
It's Showtime folks! Get those votes in and we'll see who performs next! Showtime will cease on --
Excuse me, hold on for a second.
The announcer walks off stage for a moment, talking with one of the producers that approached him. He nods and talks back, then walks back to the stage.
Terribly sorry about that. I've had a word with the producer, and he's displeased with the fact that we've had non-voters in the last round. As of now, an Inactivity rule has been initiated. From this point on, if a contestant fails to vote on two consecutive showtimes, they will be removed from the show.
Now...as I was saying before, Showtime will cease on Saturday at 9PM PST. So be sure to get those votes in!
-
To be the quick one of the group,
Vote: Send The Candy Lane to the stage.
-
Well, I looked through Reon's last few points to see if I could see why he was killed off.
He voted for Colberius X in the last phase, but that could easily mean that Colberius X is being set up rather than certainly be wolf. I generally lean towards the wolves setting someone up, but it is still a possibility. If I had to guess, I'd say Reon was probably killed for being an active player.
I will hold off from voting until more people have had a chance to share their thoughts.
Any reason for the vote for TCL Aragonn?
-

Other than the fact that TCL voted for me last round, nope.

I've noticed that you're the first person to submit a name to go on stage during both rounds, Aragonn.

Is that a bad thing?

It's an aggressive stance. :P

I suppose I can be a bit aggressive in my online activities...
-
Losing our seer, Reon (Fabulous Frannie) the first night is a real kick in the head and a major stroke of luck for the Saboteurs. That combined with the loss of Arcadonisia (contestant), has reduced our edge to 8-3.
One is tempted to look at those who voted for Arcadonisia on Day 1; as well as those who did not vote, as wolves often like to lay low early on and either vote late or not vote at all. The voting on Day 1 was:
Aragonn votes: Colberius X
Aternox votes: Arcadonisia
Barry votes: Hugsim
Hugsim votes: Wintermoot
Reon votes: Colberius X (2)
Aersoldorf votes: Barry
Wintermoot votes: Arcadonisia (2)
Colberius X votes: Arcadonisia (3)
The Candy Lane votes: Aragonn
*Did Not Vote: Vinaza, Sapphiron, VarunHebli, Arcadonisia
It is interesting that Wintermoot brought Arcadonisia into a 2-2 tie with Colberius X, who then voted with Wintermoot to save himself. Now Wintermoot is pointing the finger at Aragonn for being aggressive….Again, I think wolves generally try to lay low, so Aragonn’s aggression seems uncharacteristic of a saboteur. Of course, one never knows....
Anyway, at this point I’m going to randomly vote for one of the 3 remaining contestants who did not vote on Day 1, on the possibility they’re trying to hide. It’s not a great theory this early in the game, but it seems as good as any at the moment.
Vote: Send Sapphiron to the stage
-
Apologies, I was too busy with my school homework that I only logged in to make a few posts in the spam area. Anyhow, it's depressing how the seer gets killed in the first night so I will go ahead and
Vote: Send Colberius X to the stage
-
I suppose I can be a bit aggressive in my online activities...
Is that so? Perhaps we could explore this...aggression...in private sometime? :P

I waited until the period was nearly over, and then selected the person that had not voted out of those that already had one vote, which happened to be Arcadonisia. This is the same strategy you are utilizing now, so it would appear that I'm as interesting as you are.

That would be almost any time. Just PM me when you're ready.
-
And someone so straight-forward and blunt about the whole thing about it too! I'm excited! :P
-
Ouch. Losing the seer on night 1 is about the worst case scenario for us. I don't feel particularly strongly about anyone at the moment, although it's the first time that I've played with a lot of you. I will re-read the thread tomorrow from work and see what I think at that point.
-
I'll keep mine short and to the point; I'll admit to having used a random generator for this as well.
Vote: Barry
-
Hello boys and girls, this is just a friendly reminder that you have 9 1/2 hours left before the phase ends, so be sure to get those votes in!
-
Already? Is it just me or are the phases shorter than the last game?
-
Showtime phases are always 48 hours. This phase started on Thursday at 9PM, and so it ends today at 9PM. :P
The only reason it seemed longer last game was because I kept giving extensions due to a majority neglecting to vote in the time period given (and giving extra time for power roles to choose during night phases).
-
Huh...I guess time flies when you're having fun. :P
I'll have to think on this for a bit...
-
After giving it thought, I've decided to vote for Sapphiron. Sapphiron did not participate in the last vote, even though he was online and posting in other topics...then, once the rules that inactive voters would be removed were made clear, he suddenly began participating again. In the last game of werewolf, I noticed that he barely participated in the votes, even though he was one of the werewolves and was obviously active in the game in private.
I'm suspicious that this is a repeat of a previously winning strategy, so for that reason I'm voting for him. And if I'm wrong, at least I got the werewolf from the last game. xD
-
Well, I can understand how you arrived there, considering that I was the one who pushed for you as the werewolves' first night target. Like I said, for the past few days, I had been busy trying to complete my school homework so most of the time during that period when you see me online, it's either I got distracted while searching for an answer in the Internet and decided to log in and post in the spam area (I recall mentioning that I have internet forum addiction), or I simply logged in and did nothing just so that my activity stats can be increased.
-
You know doing nothing doesn't really increase activity stats, right?
I wasn't actually aware that you pushed for me to be the first target in the last game...I just noticed that you were largely inactive and then turned out to be a werewolf, which allowed all the active innocents to spend the game pointing fingers at and executing each other. :P
-
No, I wasn't aware that the "Most Time Online" category does not include the time doing nothing. I guess I am learning something new everyday. While it's true that I was inactive in the main thread for the last game, I must state that it will be the same for me when I am a villager. I simply have nothing to add.
-
Oh....well, I guess that category would include the time spent doing nothing, but I don't pay any attention to that stat. :P
-
Vote: Sapphiron
What Winter said. Plus, Sapphiron voted for me! :P
-
Vote: Vinaza
Vinaza was very quiet in the first phase and has now used a random generator to pick a vote rather than speculating themselves, which could be a wolf trying to lay low and not get the attention of anyone.

Nigel: Hello boys and girls, apologies for the late closure of this showtime, but alas, I was busy recording my single with another smashing artist. perhaps you might know her. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElL7rd6shC) She did a smashing job of accompanying me for this song.
Nigel: Onto more important issues; our next contestant! It seems one has been chosen, and what smashing choice she is! Let's go to the stage, shall we?
The cameras cut to the stage, as a pompous looking woman briskly walks out.
Stewie: Oh my god, it's Lindsay *censored* Lohan! What the hell?!
Snape: Mm. And what will you be performing tonight Ms. Lohan?
Sapphiron: A little trick I st--thought of all by myself: pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
Snape leans closer to Speak and Spell.
Snape (mumbling): didn't we already see that trick?
Speak and spell: Yes.
Sapphiron: Oh I know you saw some Fartulous Fannie or whatever perform it. But see, I switched her hat. This was the real hat.
Sapphiron reaches into the hat. The hat, recognizing that its holder is not its original owner, proceeds to blow raspberries at Sapphiron and float off stage towards the audience, and then out the door.
Sapphiron: Well that was...unexpected and awkward.
Snape: Much like your acting career, wouldn't you agree?
Sapphiron: Okay...well, I could sing!
Sapphiron begins to sing offkey, much to the disappointment of the judges and audience members. The judges hit their Xs right away, and some of the audience members are carried off to the hospital for their injuries.
Sapphiron: Wait, I've got more!
Sapphiron starts to dance as security carries her off stage. She can be heard swearing loudly as she's tossed out of the stage door.
Lindsay "Sapphiron" Lohan, a Saboteur, has been booted from the show.
That's a wrap folks, let's cut to commercial break! Power roles, please send me your choices for this round. SHowtime will resume on Monday at 1:30 AM PST.
WARNING! It has been detected that only 7 out of 11 players have voted this round. If the 4 in the red zone do not vote during the next showtime, they are in danger of being booted from the show.

Hugsim
Please get those votes in during the next show time to avoid being booted! While VarunHelbi is indeed on his second round of non-voting, his first was before the rule was in place, and was worded in a sense to where he wasn't grandfathered into it.

Nigel: Hello boys and girls, Nigel Thornberry here, recording my new single with hit artist Will Smith. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoJL13tlMQs) It's been quite a smashing session, and we hope that you enjoyed the commercial break. Now let's see who's performing for us next, shall we?
A stubby looking man in a striped shirt makes his way to the stage as the judges look at him, unsure of what to make of this person.
Stewie: Who...or what...are you?
Vinaza: Davey Wall, but I go by Dave.
Snape: I'm still curious about the second part of my..."friend's" suggestion, but moving on. I suppose you're going to build some sort of wall for us?
Vinaza: Actually, I was going to knit for you.
Stewie: Come again?
Vinaza: I'm going to knit for you.
Snape: ...very well. Proceed.
Davey goes over to the table and grabs a pair of knitting needles and what looks to be the fabric. As he grabs it however, one of the backstage crew sees it and his jaw drops, realizing that what he took was not the original bag of yarn. But before Dave can be stopped, he begins knitting quickly until he has a pattern made. Moments later, he holds up his result as the audience, as well as the judges gasp. He thinks that it's the good kind, but it is soon followed by angry yelling from the judges, and swearing from the audience. The cameras turn away from the offensive material, and Dave is thrown out of the stage by security.
Vinaza, aka Dave Wall, has been booted from the show after having their trick sabotaged.
It's showtime folks! It's time to get those votes in and see who will be performing next! Due to my working schedule, showtime will resume on Wednesday at 3:30 PM PST.
Happy voting!

Carrying on from Barry's previous records:
Aragonn votes: Colberius X
Aternox votes: Arcadonisia
Barry votes: Hugsim
Hugsim votes: Wintermoot
Reon votes: Colberius X (2)
Aersoldorf votes: Barry
Wintermoot votes: Arcadonisia (2)
Colberius X votes: Arcadonisia (3)
The Candy Lane votes: Aragonn
Arcadonisia (villager) lynched.
Reon (seer) killed by wolves.
Aragonn votes TCL
Barry votes Sapphiron
Sapphiron votes Colberius X
Vinaza votes Barry
Wintermoot votes Sapphiron (2)
Colberius X votes Sapphiron (3)
Aternox votes Vinaza
Sapphiron (wolf) lynched.
Vinaza (defender) killed by wolves.
Seeing Barry, Wintermoot and Coloberius X all voted to lynch a wolf, and especially seeing how any of them could have voted for someone else and blocked the lynch, I believe they are all very likely to be good guys.
The Candy Lane, Hugsim, VarunHebli and Aersoldorf are the remaining players who didn't vote. If these people do not vote this round, they will be killed for inactivity as Pengu mentioned.
-
Terribly sorry. Work was a bit crazy on Saturday and I lost track of the time remaining to vote. I did get a chance to re-read most of the thread, but nothing really jumped out at me.
-
By my count, we have nine hours remaining and zero votes. :P
-
I'm trying to be more strategic with this vote. I need time to think about it.
Nevermind. Vote: Aternox, I choose you!
-
I've got nothing to go on at the moment. I'm going to vote just so I don't get killed for inactivity but I'll happily change my vote if someone else spots something suspicious.
Vote: Send Hugsim to the stage

Sorry, I'm finding it hard to stay active here. Need to bookmark the site or something :p

Why would you vote for someone that voted for a saboteur last round?
-
VOTE: Send The Candy Lane to the stage
-
I agree with Wintermoot, why vote for Barry? Granted, it's possible that Barry (who was the first vote for the saboteur last round) could be a fellow saboteur trying to divert attention from himself and didn't expect the votes to pile on after he voted, but I agree that it's more likely that Barry is innocent and just guessed correctly last day phase.
-
Actually, I'm going to change my vote until TCL explains why he felt compelled to vote for Barry.
Change Vote: From Hugsim to The Candy Lane
-
I misread the Ater's post and thought he had voted for Ceberius (1 row off in the list).
Other than that I was in a rush to vote before class started and figured I'd vote for an Islander. I now see the error of my ways.
Change Vote: Send Ater Nox to the stage

Are you voting Ater just to tie and try to save yourself or do you have some other reason in mind?

Let's watch a smashing game shall we?
Ater and Candy put out their hands and do the count. Everyone watches as Ater wins the first round, countering Candy's Yoda with his Vader. The next round starts, and Candy wins, countering Ater's Waterfall with his Dynamite. It comes down to the last round, as the opponents do the count, and silence hits the room. The camera zooms to show Ater's hand making the paper sign, with Candy's holding the scissors sign.
Nigel: And it looks like Candy has won this match!
Ater mumbles as he prepares and heads to the stage, as cameras shift over to him walking on.
Stewie: And you are...?
Ater: Aterus Noxius, but my friends just call me Ater Nox.
Speak and Spell: THAT. IS. A. LAME. NAME.
Snape: indeed. What will you be performing?
Ater: I can turn water into wine.
Ater holds up his glass of water and snaps his finger. The glass explodes and wine spills everywhere, covering every person. The judges hit their Xs right away, as Ater takes his wine-covered self off stage.
Nigel: Smashing! And next up, we have another special contestant!
The cameras switch back to the stage, magically cleaned by Snape.
Stewie: Now THAT'S a talent worth remembering.
Another contestant, looking like a greek god, struts onto the stage.
Snape: Name?
VarunHebli: Odyssius "VarunHebli" Orion.
Stewie: Talent?
VarunHebli: I can sing opera.
Speak and Spell: NO.
The judges hit their Xs, obviously tired of another singing talent. VarunHebli calls to the skies as he's whisked away by lightning bolt.
Stewie: The hell was that?! Why couldn't that have been his talent!?
Aternox has been booted from the show, and VarunHebli has been booted due to inactivity. Both were contestants.
It's commercial break folks! Special roles, please send me your choices for the commercial. We'll pick things up tomorrow at 6PM PST.
WARNING! These individuals are in danger of being booted if they do not vote during the next Showtime:
*Wintermoot

The vote for Ater was indeed a vote to save myself, I'm sorry to see he turned out to be a villager. I hope you guys understand that my original vote was simply a misreading of the voting records. Let's hope our defenders are successful and we get a wolf tomorrow.

I meant to vote, but ended up falling asleep...
/me sighs
-
Oh no...I thought I read the votes correctly...DAMMIT...
I volunteer to be the next sabotaged act or contestant because I will not be able to continue playing this.
-
Ouch, losing Ater is a terrible blow. He's one of our best players.
-
Sorry. I thought we had more time as I read Pengu's post as saying the day phase wouldn't start until Wednesday afternoon. :(
-
I think I'm going to suggest turns be a day longer in future games. I personally think the turns are going by a bit fast...=/
-
48 hours is plenty of time in my opinion, but it's your forum. I just got busy last Saturday at work (was expecting a slow day) and then when I got home I forgot about it because I was playing with my 4 kids.
-
It's Pengu's game, I'm just making a suggestion. :P
-
True, I'm normally a hyperactive participant in these games, but with this being on a new (to me) forum, plus work being crazy of late I haven't really had the time to devote to it like I normally do.
-
Are you enjoying the game and the forums though? Anything I can do to help you with the forum-end?
-
This is actually the only thread I've looked at or posted in, sorry. I have looked at some of the layout and I think it's fabulous what you've got. I also love the place names. I'm a huge fan of fantasy novels and RPG stuff so I do think it's really appealing. I've simply got limited time. I have 4 children, I'm the Mayor of Taco Island back in 10KI and I'm our emissary to Canada. It eats up a lot of my day.
-
I understand...things are busy, and I appreciate that you came over to play. :D
Just wanted to make sure the forums themselves weren't a problem for you. :)
-
For all the Islanders, I think the forum time here is a few hours ahead of our own, maybe it's set to EST? There's no way that I posted at 8PM last night but that's what it shows.
-
By default the forum should be in UTC, but the timezone can be changed in the user CP (old CP).
-
Sorry. I thought we had more time as I read Pengu's post as saying the day phase wouldn't start until Wednesday afternoon. :(
That was a fault on my part. After re-reading it, it does pretty much come across as that. Apologies for the confusion.

Nigel: Hello boys and girls, and welcome back to a smashing game of Wintreath's got Talent! I'm here with the smashing lead singer of Evanescence, going over a fantastic song that we did together. Click here to see it! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlyOHMM9AX8)
Nigel: This next performer comes as a smashing surprise to our game. He's british, and he's part wizard...give it up for our next performer: William Wintermoot!
The cameras switch to a man dressed in a wizard cloak, carrying a wand with him.
Stewie: What the devil are you supposed to be?
Wintermoot: A wizard, named William.
Stewie: Well I do say, I love your accent. And what will you be doing for us today Mr. Wizard?
Wintermoot: I'll be doing an impression of Severus Snape.
Snape raises an eyebrow and looks at William with the slight hint of a glare.
Wintermoot clears his throat.
Wintermoot (using a nasally voice): Class, today we will be performing the Crustacious curse. Observe.
William points at a random audience member and shouts "Crustacio!" The audience member is suddenly on all fours with a giant shell on their back, scuttling away embarrassingly. The judges each hit an X on their podium.
Snape: First of all, it's the Cruciatus curse, not Crustacious curse. Second, I do not sound like that.
Stewie: You kind of do, actually.
Snape glares at Stewie, who seems a little nervous at the look.
Stewie: I mean he was terrible! It was bloody awful!
Speak and Spell: NEXT.
Wintermoot thinks to himself for a moment.
Wintermoot (to himself): I could have sworn that guy told me it was Crustacious...
Wintermoot sighs and disappears in a puff of smoke.
Wintermoot's trick has been sabotaged, and he has been booted from the show. He was a contestant.
It's showtime folks! Let's get those votes in. Showtime will end on Saturday, January 24th at 8:00PM PST.
Happy gaming!
-
Bye, Winter... Only a handful of us left.
-
Ouch, terribly sorry to see you go Wintermoot. As for the rest of us, if we don't find another saboteur today then we're in terrible danger of losing. We've only got a 4-2 advantage at the moment so unless we make the right choice during this day phase we could lose during the night unless our remaining Wall brother is successful in defending.
-
Well, 6 players left with only a 4-2 advantage; and only myself and Colby pretty much above suspicion.
That means that 2 of The Candy Lane, Aerso, Aragonn, and Hugsim are the wolves. We have to get one of them this phase or it's game over.
I think Aragonn has been pretty aggressive for a wolf. That's a very tough game to play for a bad guy, so I've got him well down my list. Among the other three, Hugsim seems most suspicious for being so quiet; which, if I'm right, would mean either TCL or Aerso is the other wolf.
At this point, I'm going to basically cross my fingers and
Vote: Send Hugsim to the stage.
-
I'm sorry for being quiet, but I've been quite busy the last week or so.
I'm thinking that TCL is a bit suspicious because of his votes last round, voting for Barry, who voted for a wolf, because he "misread" the votes.
Vote: Send The Candy Lane to the stage.
-
That was an honest mistake as I have said before. The fact remains that that vote would have been such a big blunder for a wolf to make, at that point any wolf would know that the players who voted to lynch sapphiron would be off limits.
What I do find interesting is how player's asked me about it first, but Hugism immediately voted to lynch me. Carpe diem I suppose. Now seeing as Barry is the only trustworthy player to have suggested something, I will follow his lead.
Vote lynch Hugism
-
I will support Barry. *crosses fingers*
Vote: Send Hugism to the stage.
-
Barry was right before so I will trust his judgement this time as well.
Vote: send Hugsim to the stage

Nigel: Hello boys and girls, are you ready for a smashing new round of Wintreath's Got Talent? I know I am. This message is brought to you by the upcoming and unedited Transformers 3. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5PLAHph9Lw)
Nigel: Now I understand that the contestants have reached a verdict, and they've chosen a player with the code name "Hugsim" to perform next.
The camera pans to the list with the name "Hugsim" circled.
Nigel: But hang on...something is happening. One of the producers is picking up the list and reading the name to someone looking an awful lot like the executive producer of the show. It looks like he's unsatisfied, whispering something into the producer's ear. Hang on, it looks as if the producer is about to announce something.
Producer: Your attention please. I know that many of you have thought long and hard about this decision. But it has come to our attention that Frankie G is not satisfied with this answer. According to my boss, Frankie G has decided that this player named Hugsim will not be going on stage at this moment in time.
As the producer is talking, the executive producer continues to whisper in his ear.
Producer: It seems that Frankie G. has decided that another contestant will be going on stage next, by the name of...
The executive producer whispers the name into his ear.
Producer: Are you sure?
he's met with a nod.
Producer: The name of the name of the next contestant is...
The camera cuts out and switches to a couple of commercials.

commercial 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blr8-l1wv4U)
commercial 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20DF6U1HcGQ)
The show comes back on as the cameras are focused on the cheering audience. They then move to the stage, where the next contestant...a rather curious looking fellow, walks out on stage.
Stewie: And you are...?
Unknown: Nathanial Aersoldorf.
The judges look confused as they look at their papers.
Stewie: Wasn't it supposed to be some fellow named "Hugsim?"
Stewie and the other judges get an answer in their headsets as they sigh.
Snape: Must they always change the script? I wasn't prepared for this.
Speak and Spell: Oh my god I KNOW. I had all my one liners ready, and now I have to make up new ones.
Stewie: What the hell, I didn't know you could talk in complete sentences!
Speak and Spell: My dear boy, I can speak fluently in complete sentences, paragraphs, and even multiple languages. I'm just paid to speak in the singular.
Snape: Awkward...anyways...
Snape's gaze turns towards Nathanial

Snape:..."Slice" things up.
Aersoldorf: as they themselves juggle little knives.
Snape bites his tongue as Stewie laughs.
Stewie: I'd say he got you there. Go ahead.
Aersoldorf begins to juggle his knives as they themselves begin juggling tiny knives as well. Suddenly, the knives decide to stop juggling and land on the ground, holding their mini knives in their...hands, and attempt to rob the judges. Stewie leans over towards Snape, who leans towards Stewie as well.
Stewie: Do something magic man.
Snape: I can't. It's not in the script.
Stewie: Just do it!
Snape: Oh fine.
Snape points his wand and shouts "Knificus Rubbercus!" as the knives turn to rubber imitations, and are swept away by the janitor. Aersoldorf lets out a nervous laugh as the judges raise an eyebrow (Speak and spell having a coded one). They look towards each other and wait for instructions on their headsets, responding with Xs moments later.
Aersoldorf, the victim of a majority switch around by Frankie G, has been booted from the show. He was a Saboteur.
It's time for commercial break everyone! Let's get those picks in for the commercial, and we'll resume showtime on Sunday at 8:30PM PST.

Nigel: Hello boys and girls, and welcome back to the show! In a surprising turn of events, there is actually no contestant going in front of the judges. I know, it's quite a smashing twist of events isn't it? Let's go back to the contestants, shall we?
Showtime has started! We'll go into our next commercial on Tuesday at 7:00PM PST. So let's get those votes in!

Yay! Well done Frankie G!!....It also looks like our surviving Wall brother probably did a smashing job of defending last night - unless the remaining Wolf didn't hunt.
With a 4-1 advantage, we've now got a decent shot. I believe that either Aragonn or The Candy Lane is most likely the last bad guy. Thoughts?
-
Aragonn will be eliminated for inactivity after this showtime, anyway. I'm leaning towards Candy Lane.
And I doubt that the wolf didn't hunt. That would seem unwise at this stage in the game.

The cameras switch over to a rather creepy looking figure making his way to the stage with a couple of others.
Snape: ...I don't know if I should even bother.
Stewie: Oh my, they look like that one neighbor of mine if he were younger.
Speak and Spell: NAME?
Creepy dudes: We're Chad, Tad, and Brad. We call ourselves The Candy Lane.
Snape: Interesting name...talent?
The Candy Lane: We sing.
Snape: Oh god, not more.
Before Snape can hit the X on his podium, The Candy Lane begins their performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLPZmPaHme0).
The judges and audience watch, completely stunned at what they're seeing, as the song suddenly changes. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKQ6nINAeq8) (warning, this video contains mildly strong language and suggestive moments).
The judges look as the audience members follow along with this song, Stewie repressing the urge to dance as well. Finally, the other song ends, and the judges hit the X on their podiums.
Snape: That was...just...no.
Stewie: Catchy, but creepy.
Speak and Spell: GOODBYE.
Chad starts swearing at the judges as Tad and Brad each grab a side and pull him out. They both carry a continuously screaming Chad out the door.

Nigel: Welcome back boys and girls! We have just gone through the remaining 4 acts, and the judges have deliberated and reached a decision. Before we announce our Top Talent, I'll take you through the other 3 acts that didn't quite amaze the judges as much.
Nigel: In fourth place, we have the lovely Aron Aragonn. Aron came on stage proud of his talent. Indeed, the judges were astounded that such a man was able to tie BOTH of his shoes without tying them together.
Nigel: In third place was Colberius X, also known as Frankie G! His charms did indeed win the judges to where he didn't have any other talent to perform. Unfortunately, the judges decided that charm alone wasn't enough.
Nigel: And in second place was Hugsim, aka Billy Wall. Billy was a tricky one for the judges, having built a house out of pure diamond. But just as he was putting the finishing touches, he realized too late that he had missed a spot.
Nigel: That brings us to our final person...Barry! That's right, this visitor and winner of Taco Island's Got Talent has successfully held his title here in Wintreath. Let's recap to his trick shall we?
The cameras switch to the stage, where a proudly dressed man walks up.
Stewie: Oh I do love your outfit. What's your name?
Barry: Barry, also known as The Amazing Larry.
Snape leans over to Stewie
Stewie: Didn't we have a Fabulous Frannie?
Barry: Her and I went to Magic school together.
Snape: Haven't we met before?
Barry: You judged me on Taco Island's Got Talent.
Snape: Ah...that's right. Trick?
Barry says something, but the audio jumbles up.
Stewie: Well that does sound exciting, proceed.
Barry begins his trick, but now the video feed on the camera begins to act up. Whatever his trick is, however, the audience is roaring with cheers throughout the entirety of it. The video feed reappears with the judges giving Barry a standing ovation. Whatever the trick was, it impressed them.
Stewie: That was amazing. Worthy of your name good sir.
Speak and Spell: Beautiful.
Snape: Mr. Larry, I now remember being one of your judges during your last show. I must say that over there, your trick blew me away, and I didn't think I could ever see anything that could beat that. But I was quite wrong, as that was one of the most beautiful things that I've ever seen...I...
Snape begins to cry and cracks a smile.
Snape: I'm proud to call you our next Top Talent for the second time!
The audience cheers in this decision, and Barry is crowned.
Barry has been chosen (via Randomizer) as the Top Talent for the show. Great job to everyone who played! Here were the roles and results:
Fabulous Frannie: Reon
Bill and Dave Wall: Vinaza and Hugsim
Frankie G: Colberius X
Saboteurs: Aersoldorf, Sapphiron, and The Candy Lane
Day 1:
Colberius X chose to sway majority to VarunHebli if he himself was the victim of majority vote.
Arcadonisia is booted from the show
Night 1:
Reon scanned Colberius X
Reon's trick was sabotaged.
Day 2:
Colberius X chose to sway majority to Sapphiron with the same condition.
Sapphiron, the first Saboteur, was booted from the show (thought not by Colberius' hand).
Night 2:
Vinaza's trick was sabotaged.
Day 3: Ater Nox and Candy Lane were tied. Candy Lane won the tie with a 2-3 win on the coin toss, and Ater Nox was booted. VarunHebli was also booted due to inactivity.
Night 3: Wintermoot's trick was sabotaged.
Day 4: Colberius X shifted all votes to Aersoldorf
Night 4:
The Candy Lane goes after Barry
Frankie G negates all powers
Hugsim Defends Barry
Day 5: The Candy Lane is chosen to go on stage.

Whew! What a ride!
I had intended to vote The Candy Lane the day before I was eliminated, but I fell asleep instead. I'm glad that things worked out in the end...we had some bad luck in the beginning with Reon being eliminated, but...well, here we are. It was a rather...smashing...game. :P
I believe I promised prizes to the people remaining at the end of this contest, so if Barry, Hugsim, Colberius X, and Aragonn will contact me via PM with their selection and email address, I would be happy to honour those promises! Here is the prize list. :)

Overall, this was Wintreath's first attempt at putting on an interregional activity, and I hope everyone had a great time and will be open to coming back for other things in the future! I know I had fun with this, and I think Pengu did a wonderful job running this game. I've never seen a Werewolf game ran and judged so creatively. So thanks to Pengu, cause without him none of this would have been possible. :D
-
I see my stall tactics have failed :P
Good game guys. I thought for sure I was done after that Barry vote. Which really was a misreading by the way
-
A hand for Pengu! :D
That was QUITE fun. I thoroughly enjoyed my powers in this round of Werewolf. I wish Reon had gotten a chance to use me, though, having identified me the first commercial break. :P
Just so everyone knows... XD I knew my survival was almost guaranteed after Wintermoot was eliminated, but I hadn't yet decided whether to side with the Saboteurs or the Contestants. I knew Barry and Aragonn were contestants, but I didn't know about Aersoldorf, Candy Lane, and Hugism. It was just gut feeling that led me to sway the vote from Hugism to Aersoldorf, so this game could have easily ended very differently!
-
Who doesn't wish Reon had used them? :P
Why do you say your survival was guaranteed after I was eliminated?
-
I think he meant that more in a time/contestants left sense. He still had use of his vote sway and his negating power, so even if suspicion had begun to fall on him, he could prevent people voting for him pretty much until the game was won by either side.
-
That doesn't come off as OP at all? :P
-
Not really. If he could use it daily nonstop for either or both powers, it definitely would be. But he only had 3 uses for one (vote sway) and only 1 use for the other (negate powers),so it becomes more about being strategic about it.
And I do want to give a huge thank you to everyone who took part in this game. Like a play, this game is only as good as the people taking part in it, and you guys definitely helped make this game entertaining.
I also want to thank all of our foreign dignitaries and guests for taking part as well. I think Werewolf is an exceptional ice breaker game because it can force people to work together towards a common goal since nobody wants to be the next lynch/wolf victim. And I also think it's a great connecting game (in other words, bringing allies together) for that same reason. On a similar note, I would also like to thank Wintermoot as well as all of Wintreath's ambassadors for spreading the word and helping get people involved.
So you guys know, The Candy Lane was a random choice for a Saboteur, but I intentionally made Aersoldorf one, because he has a knack for keeping people on their toes since he's hard to read. Barry, The Candy Lane and Aersoldorf are what you may call veteran Werewolf players, Aersoldorf especially since he's been playing since Werewolf 7 on XKI (they're up to 41 now and I don't believe he's missed a game), and continues to play religiously both on XKI as well as other regional forums as well.
I will say that I actually won't be hosting 3 any time soon. I may in the near future if nobody else wishes to host it (which if you're feeling like you want to give hosting a game a try, I highly encourage giving it a shot), but it just won't be exceptionally near as this game was compared to the first.
-
It had nothing to do with you specifically. Just the remaining number of players. Only two saboteurs needed to be eliminated for contestants to win, and only two contestants had to be eliminated for Saboteurs to win.
I would sway the vote to someone, random or chosen, negate sabotage for the night, and then sway the vote to whoever I was confident was in the same group as the first person I had eliminated. The hardest part was deciding not to take the safe route of eliminating the known contestants.
-
This was an excellent game everyone. When we lost our seer and a defender on the first two nights, I really thought our goose was cooked. But Colby (Frankie G) saved us from the oven with the key vote switch to Aerso on Day 4 and by negating all powers that night…By the way, thanks for the defense that night, Hugsim – it is much appreciated….To grab this “come-from-behind” win against two of the best and most experienced XKI WW players in Aerso and TCL is just lusciously sweet! :D
Pengu. What can I say, dude? Just another awesome and smashing job on your part, my friend! You’re the real “Talent” here. :)
And thanks, Wintermoot, for having us. Wintreath is an awesome region from a bit of trolling your forum that I’ve done. It was great fun and hope to be back soon. Take care everyone, and thanks again for the fun ride.
-
Wow, I was sure Hugsim was Frankie G after the votes were switched to me. Colberius could have won with TCL and I a day earlier if he hadn't thrown a wrench in our plans.
-
This was my first time as a wolf, so it was a real learning experience for me. I think I've learned a fair bit, like read "thrice and vote once."
I don't think the Frankie G. role is OP, but I think being able to use it three times is a bit much.
-
I probably should have voted for TCL instead of following the crowd and going after Hugsim. Perhaps he'd have picked someone else to switch votes with and I'd have looked less guilty.
-
Wow, I was sure Hugsim was Frankie G after the votes were switched to me....
Same here. I was very surprised when Pengu made the reveal.
-
Congratulations guys, well done! :)
-
Sorry I had to go inactive for a bit. How exactly are these prizes obtained?
-
PM me with your selection and email address. The prizes are in the form of Steam keys, many of them obtained through various Humble Bundles.
-
Also, Pengu! If you wouldn't mind writing an update for how the event went and who won and such, I'll see to it that it's sent out to our diplomatic partners. :)
-
Not a problem, I'll get right on it and PM it to you. :)
