I'm officially back. It's too late to start turns now, so what I'm going to do is spend the night archiving and clearing the turns that haven't been dealt with yet. I'm also going to optimize the system I've been using to keep track of player stats. It'd be kind of funny if after doing this tonight, I wake up tomorrow to do turns and see the killer was about to die anyways :P

You walk east. The room is cluttered with a few various items, including a bowling ball bag, a croquet set, a set of lawn darts, and a few scattered cardboard boxes. Everything is covered in either dust, cobwebs, or both. A single light bulb hangs from the ceiling, dimly lighting the area. The attic continues to the south, and back to the west.
Lol I'm picking up the lawn darts for a ranged weapon... I might set up some defense using the bowling ball so please if anyone is coming please tell me...

Edit : I won't think you would or could come in since i had bolt locked doors

Man, you are way too paranoid. You know, setting up traps is more likely to create friendly fire, since the odds of a non-killer stumbling upon it is 9/10. Just saying...

Anyway, here is my long-awaited recollection:
Thinking back, you remember the owner inviting you while you were on one of your bus routes. He would occasionally get on the bus, and you thought it was odd because he dressed it a way that made him seem wealthy. You considered that perhaps he was just a bit eccentric, and left it at that. One day he asked you if you'd like to come to a get-together at his place, and you thought that perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to check his place out for a few hours. If nothing else, you'd at least know if he was really as well-off as you'd imagined him to be.

After arriving at the house, the owner was chatting with the guests in the lobby, making small talk. None of them struck you as familiar. You talked to a number of them, though it was never anything noteworthy, just idle chatter. You're unsure of how many of the other guests you ended up talking to, although you're sure it was a majority. After a bit of such conversing, the owner gave everyone a brief tour of the house, after which you headed to the sunroom to sit and relax.

While looking out the window, enjoying the scenery, you remember hearing at least two people enter and leave the room behind you, though you thought little of it at the time. You were looking at the night sky for the most part, lost in your thoughts much of the time, but also remember seeing at least three shadowy figures move through the yard in front of you; one moving from west to east, the other two times moving from east to west.

Wing Zero eventually entered the room from the lobby, sitting down across the table from you, and after a few minutes you decided to find a new place to wait for dinner. As you entered the lobby, you found the owner's corpse, which is what caused you to let out a startled scream. You do not remember seeing anyone leaving as you entered the room.

My action:
Quote
If alone (and if not, then while not losing awareness of others), begin a recollection of all events between my arrival on up to the time of the murder. Try to prioritize the people I was with over the locations I've been, if this becomes an issue. Drop sack or take a seat or whatever first if this improves (but not precludes within this turn) my recollection ability.

Result:

Thinking back, you remember entering the property via the driveway, through an open gate. You walked into the house, where there were a number of people already standing in the lobby. People continually arrived, all the while the owner was making small talk with random people, ranging from the weather to news to sports. You talked to a few people, though nothing of any great consequence. You were more concerned with when something aside from idle chatter would occur.

Finally, the owner seemed sufficiently satisfied with the turnout, and began the tour of the first floor. After it was over, you quickly ducked out the backdoor through the sunroom, hoping to avoid any more asinine conversations. You walked the property a bit, though only on the north side of the house, before leaning up against a tree to rest. You dozed off, and awoke to the sound of the scream which led you to investigate. As you opened your eyes, you were sure you saw someone dart past you toward the backdoor.

Thinking back, you remember getting the key from the owner just after the tour ended. You then went to your room, and didn't see anyone along the way.

Ill answer the other in the next recollection.

Thinking back to before the murder, you remember that Zilean was your roommate, but aside from that there wasn't anything particularly memorable about him. You don't have any idea why there would be blood in your room.

Zilean was my roommate of course and I have no idea why there are bloody rags. -CLEARED OF BLOODY RAG SUSPICION-

The lights flicker out, casting you in pitch black darkness. You sprint east and stop, unsure if the lights are on to the north, or if they could be turned on. The current room is also pitch black, with the only illuminated exit being the closed window to the east.
:massimo:

Every time I try to go in there, the lights black out. I'm going to go in there anyway, but don't come in there with me.

Timeline, chronological, not divided by player
  • rayNimagi arrives and heads to the sunroom.
  • DavidJCobb arrives.

    • @DavidJCobb: ...or did you remain with the group, and the entire group explored the first floor? Where specifically did you go?
    • @rayNimagi: If DavidJCobb did split up, did he leave the lobby before or after you? Where specifically did you go?
  • The owner takes the group (in the lobby) on a tour of the house. The group now consists of Aristocrat, DavidJCobb(?), LoTu)S, Roy, Tuxedo-Templar, other unidentified guests, and the owner.
    • @DavidJCobb: Did you split from the group? Re-read your posted recollection -- Tuxlar's summary was, in your opinion, unclear on this.

    • @DavidJCobb: Where did this take place? Who else was there?
  • DavidJCobb enters his guest room as Vi3t-X leaves it. LoTu)S and Wing Zero enter their guest room either before this time or after DavidJCobb entered his room.
    • @Vi3t-X: When did you get your key from the owner? When did you go to your room? Who else did you see along the way? Did you see LoTu)S and/or Wing Zero enter their guest room before you entered yours?
  • DavidJCobb waits in the guest room for an extended period of time. LoTu)S and Wing Zero enter their guest room either during this time or before DavidJCobb entered his room.
    • @LoTu)S: When did you get your key from the owner? When did you go to your room? Who else did you see along the way?
    • @LoTu)S, Wing Zero: When did you enter your room? Before DavidJCobb entered his and Vi3t-X left his? Or after DavidJCobb entered his? (If you saw Vi3t-X moving away from the guest rooms as you approached or entered yours, then you must've entered after.)
  • LoTu)S exits his guest room and enters the bathroom. This takes place either before or after DavidJCobb entered his room.
  • DavidJCobb exits the guest room. Wing Zero exits his room across the hall.
    • @LoTu)S, Wing Zero: When did you enter your room? Before DavidJCobb entered his and Vi3t-X left his? Or after DavidJCobb entered his? (If you saw Vi3t-X moving away from the guest rooms as you approached or entered yours, then you must've entered after.)
    • @Wing Zero: When did you get your key from the owner? When did you go to your room? Who else did you see along the way? Was LoTu)S in the guest room with you at any point in time?
  • DavidJCobb and Wing Zero go downstairs to the lobby.
  • LoTu)S exits the upstairs bathroom (entering the hallway) just in time to see DavidJCobb go downstairs. He does not see Wing Zero.
  • LoTu)S re-enters his guest room.
  • Owner attempts small talk with DavidJCobb. DavidJCobb shows no interest.
    • @DavidJCobb: Where does this occur?
  • Wing Zero enters the sunroom.
  • DavidJCobb retrieves a pre-dinner snack (granola bar) from the kitchen.
  • Tempz passes DavidJCobb en route to the dining room.
    • @Tempz: Where did you come from? Where did you go?
  • rayNimagi retrieves something to eat.
    • @rayNimagi: From where? Who else was there?
  • rayNimagi exits the front door (entering outside). Zilean enters the house (foyer).
    • @Zilean: Did you re-enter after having exited previously, or did you just arrive later than the others?
  • The owner is murdered at the lobby.
  • Roy exits the sunroom into the lobby, and discovers the owner's body.
    • DavidJCobb is finishing a granola bar in the kitchen.
    • LoTu)S was transferring his clothes to the drawer in his guest room.
    • rayNimagi is sitting on the front steps outside the house.
    • Roy is standing over the owner, screaming.
    • Tuxedo-Templar is waking up near a tree, outside the house, to the north. He sees someone "dart past [him]" toward the backdoor.
  • Others enter the lobby, alerted by Roy's scream.
    • Roy is first on-scene. He screams.
    • Zilean enters next.
    • Aristocrat enters next.

According to Roy, Wing Zero exited the lobby and entered the sunroom minutes before Roy exited the sunroom and discovered the body. Though this does not prove Wing Zero's guilt, it does mean that we may not be able to rule out his guilt using recollection.

Wing Zero seems to be the only person who can verify this information, however. This means that he has a conflict of interest, and any quoted recollections that he provides regarding this matter are suspect; they will have to be very closely analyzed and compared to Azrael's writing style.

I'd think my best bet at survival right now is to barricade myself in the attic by destroying the pull down stairs and create a ladder which will be upstairs when I'm upstairs and down when I'm done make it nearly impossible for anyone to attack me

Go ahead and wall yourself off. If none of us stop the killer, he probably will get to you -- be it by scaling a wall or by simply burning the house down. I guarantee you, there are objects in this structure that could conceivably be used to start a fire.

Attempt to verify Roy's story. You need to verify whether you entered the sunroom when he was there, whether this was minutes before he discovered the body, and if his recollection is correct, you need to recall what happened in the lobby before you entered the sunroom.

An artist's depiction of an Extended Unit Death

Seeing how Wing entered the same room as me and we sat there for minutes, and when I found the body, the murder was quite recent, as blood was still spreading on the floor, you might be able to deduct that Wing is in fact innocent.

Anyway, Wing PMed me a recollection several turns ago, but I deleted it while making room for more PMs. It pretty much just mentioned that he was in his room, and then walked down and into the sun room. I think he was actually leaving his room the same time as you, David, and headed to the sun room.

He was. I saw him exit his room right after I exited mine, and followed him to the lobby. LoTu)S exited the bathroom and saw me go downstairs, but didn't see Wing.

In the hallway, you saw LoTu)S entering the bathroom, and DavidJCobb leaving the room across from yours, locking the door with his room key. You left downstairs, passed through the lobby, and entered the sunroom, where Roy was sitting. After a few minutes, Roy got up and headed south, into the lobby. A few moments later you heard the scream which caused you to go investigate.

I'm thinking of going upstairs now, Roy meet me up there when you finish the torch

I posted this a while ago, look around more. The reason I wanted to go upstairs was because of the top part of the pm, which Roy saw and I snipped here because it basically said I put my bags under my bed, I headed there but the next turn I found out I was a hobo so my stuff was probably useless and I gave up on it QQ.
