<center>All clues providing a specific time will be made in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) to check what the GMT is: go here.
</center>

<center>Guesses on the killer will be made on: <b>[s]October 22nd[/s], October 25th, October 28th, and October 31st</b>.</center>

<center>Please thank the amazing Johnny's Fan / Headless Horseman for posting these extremely helpful day by day summaries. Make sure you thank, worship, hail, build a mini-shrine of, her for her hard work and dedication and forgive Kit for her obsessive need of being a workoholic.</center>

October 17th Summary

The Headless Horseman arrived first and proceeded to kick the front door down. This caused problems for some time into the evening as the door fell down whenever a guest entered the house. He also provided many little tiny cute pumpkins that were dotted around the shelves and other such places.

Nurrantiel Mashiara came with her notebook for inspiration for one of her novels. She writes a lot of the happenings down that would be perfect for one of her books.

The Wicked Witch crash landed breaking her broomstick in the process. She later fixed it with duct tape that she provided, so she could hang some of the tiny pumpkins from the ceiling.

Some windows have been broken thanks to The Wicked Witch and Elegost.

Turwaithion is a historian and knows a lot about old weapons etc. He also has some with him.

Saffron Orange provided a somewhat demonic cat Winter who went missing for a short while but later was found.

Tar-Samara is always quoting film facts and other things relating to films. Occassionally she has also mentioned how certain characters have met their ends in said films.

Elegost Eruaphadion arrived with explosives and fireworks.

After being railroaded into helping fix the door by Tar, Aria Dissonance was the first to mention a toolbox although Tar, Kitoky, Fragile Silence etc mentioned it afterwards

Baby carrots have been generally avoided [see last years Hallowfest thread for more info ;)]

Kitoky recommended a red wine from the wine cellar. Vintage 1930’s

Kitoky led the door repair party (Tar, Aria and Fragile Silence) to the cloakroom to retrieve a toolbox only to find it was empty of tools.

Questioning the maid and butler, Kitoky discovered that the hammer and duct tape within the tool box had been used by the butler to fix a window before the guests arrived. They had been put back in their proper place after use.

Bubbles the 5th provided bubbles during the course of the evening.

The Headless Horseman provided red, orange, green and black balloons.

Jocelyn A. Rose refers to red and blood quite a lot.

To be careful of the chandelier was the last thing Kitoky said before the guests retired.



October 18th Summary

There were more explorations on this day. The library was used by various members and a piano was found in the ballroom where there was later dancing and music.

Taurquende was the first to mention secret passages.

A book was found by Taurquende "101 Ways To Kill Your Enemies".

Lady Death provided music on the piano.

Bubbles the 5th played the clarinet.

Taurquended played the bassoon which was provided by The Headless Horseman.

Jocelyn A. Rose played The Danse Macabre on her violin.

Kitoky's cooks have resigned as one of them saw a figure walking around the previous night when everyone was asleep.

Kitoky announced there would be a pumpkin carving contest out on the terrace.

Aria Dissonance asked Kitoky if she could do some baking at some point during the festivities.

The servants seem to like passing their job onto another servant.

It was again mentioned about the mysterious figure that was seen.

A bonfire was lit in the grounds and smores were handed out [that's marshmellows, chocolate and biscuits to the sensible people like you and me]

Kitoky asked th servnts to place all the carved pumpkins on the porch and stated it was not safe to be out so late anywhere at any time of year.



19th October Summary
Harry Dresdenannounced that there was a room on the second level that contained doors which upon opening, took the visitor right back to the same room.

Jocelyn A. Rose awoke to find that she had drawn a picture in her sleep of a figure and beside the figure was a body (neither male or female) lying against the floor in a pool of blood.

Saffron Orange was found face down in the fountain in the garden by the servants. Next to the fountain was a very old map, so old it depicted that the world was flat.

Saffron'sbody was taken into The Dining Room by Turwaithion.

The general opinion changed from murder by guest and do the chicken-dance-in-panic-mode to perhaps there was an accident or it was an outsider who murdered Saffron.

Some guests decided they would move about it groups just in case.

Many guests withdrew to The Drawing Room to partake in tea and cakes.

Lady Death suggested an exploration of the nearby Graveyard.

Kitoky had Saffron's body moved to the morgue.

Winter the cat has disappeared.

Lady Death suggested playing hide and seek in the graveyardand The Headless Horseman provided the fairy lights.

Fragile Silence won the pumpkin carving contest.

The ghost of Saffron Orange appeared whilst the game was being played.

There is a possibility that The Headless Horseman is gay although he might deny that.

The Headless Horseman volounteered to try and touch Saffron the Ghost and was promptly plunged through her by Kitoky (who is very strong for someone so ..er.. *ahem*)

A bonfire was lit for the guests as they waited for Saffron to reappear with news of what happened to her.

Saffron appeared and said she was asleep in bed, when she was knocked unconscious and dragged out of the bed. She said she had trouble falling asleep.

Many theories prevailed as to why the killer would drag a body downstairs and how come no-one heard them. And what does the map mean? These are some of the suggestions:

- Saffron's body was thrown out of the window and either landed exactly at the fountain (without cracking her skull open) or landed on the lawn and then was dragged and drowned

- A secret passageway that only the killer knows about, could have made it possible that she was dragged downstairs and no-one heard the killer

- A crazed sailor (map + water)

- A historian (old map)

- A pirate (old map + water)

- A POTC Fan (map + fountain + water + pirate = Fountain Of Youth)

- It's all a red herring




20th October Summary

The Headless Horseman was left alone for most of the day unsupervised. This is not something to be encouraged.

Monopoly was cracked open (much better than a bottle of champayne) and the game was virtually neverending. [I personally have asked for my score to be etched on my tombstone, so I can carry on with the game.. er.. wherever I end up]

Kitoky caused several heart attacks by announcing there had been a "merder" [we take it this is New York-ian for "murder" although Kit is in fact, not from there]. Turned out to be a quiz question involving a murder mystery.

Several people seriously considered using the lead piping in the ballroom on themselves as the question was so ridiculously-hard-yet-stupidly-easy.

Nurrantiel Mashiara answered the question correctly as she obviously used 90% of her brain while most of us seemingly only used 9%.

The ghost of Saffron Orange would like to know what happened to her cat, Winter.

Um... yes... you can start roleplaying? The main thread is open, and the welcome post has been edited...



Well, this is awkward.

If members remembered how the clues were last year, they'll have a slight advantage to figuring out the clues this year. ;)


Just sayin'.

I shall endeavour to refresh my memory. ;)

All I can say is - this time I am making notes. :P

I'm...not taking notes, but I am keeping mentally aware of everything that is going on.

For example, I know that the door has been broken down four times, and that windows have been blown out twice.

Also, the tools are missing, Saffron's cat has reappeared, and Kit refuses to eat the baby carrots. :D

Lol, poor door. :roll:

It's going to fast I can't really keep up... maybe once everything settles in a bit I'll be able to pay more attention to what's going on. :P

I wouldn't be too bothered by the speed at the moment. I pretty sure it's idle chit chat and if anything suspicious occurs (like the toolbox) there are 30 people who can pick up on it, and remind people later on. That's what happened last year.

So enjoy the speed of it and the fact you are able to create a character for yourself and situations you wouldn't normally write about. :D

I keep notes because I'm hopeless at remembering things and to be able to help others about anything that has happened, it helps to know myself. :P

Yeah, it's sort of ridiculous. I was going to go take a nap, but the posts are going like mad, and I'm too afraid to leave.

I don't know how I'm going to keep up with these whilst school is going on. I was away for most of the day and came back to find 7 pages. :blink: Ah well, I suppose I'll just have to keep up with this thread in order to remember all the clues, etc.

I understand the points everyone has been making, I too went away for a few hours and came back and found 6+ pages. But you know, reading through all the posts was fairly easy once you get used to skimming through descriptive passages and conversations that maybe you can refer to later on. Some details that struck me as being something that could later be a clue, I wrote down just in case.

I am also wibbling about going to bed tonight, but I'm just prepared for some reading before I start again tomorrow. And as long as I am ready and aware I'll have to do that, I know I'll be Ok. :-)
