The Rules:

Here is an explanation to clear up any confusion:

1.) No teams. It is everyone for themselves
2.) There must be at least ten people, but no more than twenty. The more people, the better, because it creates more suspicion
3.) Each round will consist of the following:

• a.) A murder
• b.) A question and answer session
• c.) A clue; either subliminal or from the murderer themselves. As you will see on the website (When I post it), there is a section called THE CLUES. The murderer will occasionally give some clues to their identity, and I will give some hidden clues. Only the murderers clues will go under THE CLUES section. They will not be posted on the guild message board. You must check the website

THE MURDERS:
There are three different groups

• a.) The players
• b.) The observers
• c.) The host

The players will vote on who they want to see murdered. The observers will do the same. I will pick one of the players I want to see murdered. At the end of each round, the three players (Or more. See 'GUESSING THE MURDERERS IDENTITY') will be given to the murderer. They will then pick which of the three they want out of the Ski Lodge. That person is out of the contest

THE ROOMS:
To view a map of the rooms, see above
The murderer cannot go across the house. Therefore, if the murder was committed in the Library, the murderer will be in one of the closer rooms...or maybe they are just naturally fast :)

GUESSING THE MURDERERS IDENTITY:
If you think you know who the murderer is, Neomail me. If you get it right you are safe. You will be protected for this round. If you get it wrong, you will be given to the murderer as one of the possible suspects to go.

Q & A:
Each round, I will randomly draw a few names out of a hat. Those lucky few will get to ask another suspect a question. Like "What is your favorite hobby?" The murderer should respond like the murderer, but not too obviously like the murderer. Like don't say: "My favorite hobby is killing people"

LYING:
You may try to act like the murderer to deceive people. If the majority of people think you are the murderer and most of them guess you and they are all wrong, there they are, presented to the murderer as one of the people who can go. I strongly recommend trying to act like the murderer. You never know what good may come.

The Clues:

- I truly enjoy being in this guild
- 251100
- Haven't Started Trying to figure out who the murderer is yet? you're in for a Real shocker when they are unveiled
- Four legs good, Two legs bad

Hidden Clues:

- BAWK
- If only I had a mane, or some feathers.
- Drop the A
- The beach in Wilmington is beautiful at night
- Old MacDonald

A Guide to the Clues:

Are you stuck on the hidden meaning to 251100??? Do you not know what the recurring clue in all of these murders is? Fret no longer (Well, kinda) I'm here to help!
RULE ONE: The first answer you get for the clue IS NOT going to be the right answer.
There are two suspects who are being framed as the murderer. I'm trying to make these clues apply to them and the actual murderer. Always read more into the clue
RULE TWO: I drop clues in anything I say
Always analyze the Victims Death, Any odd (Odder than usual posts) I make on the message board, and any of my Questionnaires. I am bound to have planted at least one clue somewhere in there
RULE THREE: You may need to abandon some clues
I am planting Red Herrings for the Hidden Clues. Trying to lead you one way, when I'm actually leading you a different way. You may have all of the hidden clues, but some are not what they seem, and will lead you astray
RULE FOUR: The Recurring Clue
If you haven't figured it out by now, well, you probably won't. I will give you this hint: It changes every round. The recurring clue is never the same thing twice in a row
RULE FIVE: Don't trust them!
Sure they're clues, but when it comes down to it, your going to get more clues from the questions and from where everyone is before and after the murder. Trust not in clues.

Willofgaia Question & Answer: Round 4:

Q: What criteria did you use in selecting the murderer?
A: Not much. I wanted them to be on everyday, and at least, every other day. They also needed to be able to go unavoided
Q: The clues on the main site are pointless. What do they have to do with anything?
A: Ah yes. The second clue, in particular, has caused a lot of people to think they know who the murderer is. I'll tell you this: Both clues on the main site have a second meaning. Am I trying to lead you off the right path with those clues? Yup. Do not take the first impression you get from those clues, or you will have the murderers identity wrong
Q: You can guess the murderers identity and be safe for that round. Has anyone guessed correctly yet?
A: Yes
Q: If too many people figure out who the murderer is, what happens?
A: Nothing. To be able to go far in the game, you need to know who the murderer is. Simple as that
Q: You said you would plant hidden clues. I haven't seen any
A: Hence, the HIDDEN part. I have dropped so many clues an eagle eyed suspect could know by now. There is one hidden clue that is recurring. See if you can find it
Q: How does the murderer choose who to murder?
A: Being the host, I have some inside info I give to the murderer on who might be the best to get rid of. You guys tell me stuff. Some can work towards your advantage, others can work against it. Anything you tell me WILL be used against you if you get into the Murderers Three victims
Q: Can you says some of the people who have been in the Murderers Top Three and are still in the game?
A: Sure: m0nkey101, strchick264, burnt_angel_69, colbyrocks2000, and some random others ;)
Q: Are you planting red herrings?
A: Oh hell yeah. In fact, I've planted one in this questionnaire.
