I understand...things are busy, and I appreciate that you came over to play.

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!

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.

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 1

commercial 2

commercial 3

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: Talent?

Aersoldorf: I can juggle knives--

Snape: How original for someone to try to...




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.

This is a reminder for Aragonn.  You are currently on the radar for inactivity since you did not vote in the last showtime.  Please be sure to vote during the next one to avoid being booted from the show.

Sincerely,
The producers.

Well shoot. I went to bed with high hopes and woke up to disaster. Well played Frankie.
