Umineko OST - Fishy Aroma

A group of people can be seen standing in the parlor of the Ushiromiya mansion. Some have agitated expressions on their faces, some seem cautious, some seem shocked, others just seem bored. Just a few minutes earlier they had just discovered a corpse upstairs. The door and windows of the room had been locked from the inside, and a mysterious letter was found at the scene, claiming the victim's death to be a "sacrifice" in a magical ceremony to resurrect the Golden Witch.

Someone who apparently could not stand the silence any longer starts speaking. "So... that's what this is all about, is it. Useless, it's all useless!" Someone else chuckles, responding, "Useless indeed. There's no way something as ridiculous as a witch could exist, right...? This is the act of one or several human culprits among us." Another voice is heard, "Someone... among us? You can't be serious! We're all friends here, aren't we!? It has to be someone besides us! Don't you see!?" After that shout, several sighs can be heard and some people start shaking their head in disbelief.

Eventually, someone responds on behalf of just about everyone else there. "Knox's 1st: It is forbidden for the culprit to be anyone not mentioned in the early parts of the story. There is no way someone who's been in hiding all this time could be the culprit of this tale." Someone else makes an exasperated face. "Goddamnit you metagaming..." Mid-sentence they stop themselves and stand up straight. "But she's right. We've looked all over the mansion and found no one, and all doors and windows to the outside have been locked all this time. Assuming the culprit to be someone we just magically didn't happen to find will lead us nowhere." Multiple people could be seen nodding in approval. Some other people silently clenched their teeth. The person who spoke up earlier didn't speak up again.

Finally someone spoke. "So... who is the guilty party here?" And with that, it began.


Ahh, nothing beats a classic setting like a mansion on a remote island, am I right? What a beautiful closed circle. No matter how long you wait, help won't come. It's kill or be killed.
So now, my dear players, it is your turn. Scruffington, Formalhaut, Pumpkin, The Summoner of Leviathan, FFNut, Fynn, Huckleberry Quin, Laddy, Mr. Carnelian. All of you have received information on your pieces in this game. I trust that you all play to the best of your abilities.

Daytime Phase 1

You have 48 hours to vote on someone to be executed. Alternatively you can vote for "No Death". Whoever has the majority of votes by the end of the day will be executed, if "No Death" has the majority, nobody will be executed.

Halftime takes place in about 24 hours. After Halftime, if any option has more than 50% of players' votes at any point in time, the vote is locked down (any further votes and vote changes will be ignored) and the daytime phase ends early.

Reminder: Players may repeat the red truth they have been given in purple (the hex code I use is #C090C0). Human Aligned players cannot state anything in purple but the actual red truth. Witch Aligned players on the other hand may lie in purple.

Good luck and have fun!
