Mr Manager, could you just clarify if you are retaining the first-voted-first-out rule for resolving ties, or are you going to handle them differently?

This does sound like a lot of fun.

Is there any source material in particular that would help on starting out, as there was in the case of 1920's slang in the previous round, or are we all just fumbling in the dark, waiting for a little prick to end it all?

I'll get me coat.

gridley- It's a combination of eighties horror tropes so you can be anything you like. I dare one of you to be a little psychic boy.

Tez- I'm sticking with the first vote out rule, it seems to do the trick even though it got me last time.

Feverfew- I'll see if I can find a handy reference page. Just try not to say podcast or WMD.

Oh yeah, and The Hotel's not called The Bizunthiano anymore. Because that was pretty crap.

Am not sure there's an equivalent of 1920's slang but these might help.

wikipedia - horror films

wikipedia - horror movie clichés

Mr Manager,

I'm digging the opening a lot, but I'm not sure physically where my hunk of bait is supposed to land. Should I wait for a description of the hotel or just dump the chum in?
thank ye!

PMs with player assignations are winging their ways to everyone.

Everyone should have their PMs by now. Any problems let me know.

Sorry about the delay, everyone, have some things I need to sort out, will definitely be posting tomorrow. I'll make sure everyone gets a full week to nominate.

Hi everyone.
I should probably explain what's been happening. I'm going on holiday tomorrow, and I've been trying to get all my work sorted out before I leave, which is why everything seemed to grind to a halt. Hope it didn't kill the atmosphere. The fake ending was a big fake out.
In my absence Feverfew is taking over as Manager for a week. He'll oversee everything, collect your votes etc. What this means, however, is:
A) He doesn't know what your identities are.
B) It doesn't mean he's not actually a Killer himself. In fact that's just the kind of evil twist I might pull on you.
Voting closes next Thursday, when I return and we'll have another, ahem, 'interrogation'.
OK?

I BTW loved my guy's death. The kitten picture was truly a stellar touch.

If you all do another round of this, please PM me - I'm not around Barbelith so much any more but I would love to get in on this. *ahem* I was the first Mayor, you know.

I am back from holiday but I've got an inner ear infection.
Sorry.

Big apology due to all the patient, lovely, wonderful Mafia participants. Between ear medicine, summer colds and workloads I haven't had the chance to write the next bit, and the few occassions on which I did the pressure to produce something good proved too much and I choked. Before the week is out I will finish it. Or establish an alternate identity and move to Monaco.

So, how are things in Monaco? Are you making a killing at the baccarat tables?
