ZFR: If GH spoke the truth, it shouldnt matter. Both items left have a good ending.
Or at least one neutral, yes. But zero bad endings.

joppo: A cold wind blows in the room before a semitransparent apparition made out of smoke comes out of nowhere. This entity floats in the air doing nothing for a second, but you feel like a whole minute passed. Then slowly it turns towards you a face where you can see a hint of worry and says with a voice you know very well, having been annoyed by it for weeks.

"Nooot the supply cabinet... that's where they must be storing tainted sugar... "

Then there's a sudden gust of wind and the smoke that makes up this entity's body disperses around the room and disappears. You feel the heat is coming back to normal.
This.....such roleplaying is a joy to read.....so thanks for this. And thanks for playing. :)

Also, as said(more or less) to everyone else: You are more than welcome to join in Game 2 when it comes around in several weeks or so. It will be a team game(team with highest number of survivors wins, and players will need to try to help their team mates with suggestions of what to pick and etc, while not helping the opposing team too much if possible), as per Dogmaus's suggestion from early in his game.

Microfish_1: This game has been a lot of fun. I haven't kept up like I should but it is great!

It's a nice, rapid-paced game with nice RP bits.
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. And, as with the others, you are welcome to join in to the next game(which should be in several weeks or so) if you want. It will be a team game, so it might be even more interesting for some. :)

Microfish_1: Hmm, i wonder if a device could be found which, while not proving yourself a way of escape, would rescue a fellow player from a bad end.....
OP note to Micro/all: I might add this into Game 2....an item that, if found, will allow a player to avoid a bad end....or which they may be able to possibly "use" to save another team mate if the right conditions are met.

Well it matters a bit, in that if a player in your situation(last player, more than one set piece left) picks the correct order I can save having to post/edit one or more results. :)

(also btw: hope ya might be tempted to join game 2 when it comes about :))

ZFR: Though not common, 50 cent and 1$ coins are fairly easy to get hold of. For example, you can get 50cent coins in many casinos (used on blackjack payments if they don't have .50 or 2.50 chips) and lots of vending machines give change in 1$ coins.
I forgot dollar coins.

Still, even with dollar coins, a few of em usually won't cover 1 beer in most good bars these days...well unless it's "happy hour", maybe. :D

ZFR: Northern beds. And if nothing happens Supply Cabinet.
You go to lay down on one of the free beds lining the northern wall....huddling beneath the blankets for comfort and hoping for some sense of safety from the horrors lurking the halls(which have claimed nearly everyone else, sans a few survivors), you place your hand under the pillow for added warmth....whereupon you feel a strange object. Pulling it out, it would appear to be a round disc with a picture of the front door and a key on it.

Seemingly somehow knowing what this might mean, you rush to the front lobby and stand near the front door, disc in hand. A glow envelops you and suddenly you find yourself in the front yard, safe and sound.

You have been saved!
(Good End)

++++

Epilogue
(to all players)

Nearby, you(ZFR) see that Micro and Cose have gathered....and you rush to them with a smile on your face. The 3 of you agree to get away from this place as fast as possible, and are about to leave when you turn around one last time to look upon the place you had all somehow(against all odds) escaped from.

To the amazement of none of you(you're all frankly used to such things by now) the building has vanished, leaving mostly just a bunch of trees and etc in it's place.

The only thing that proves this wasn't just some weird fever dream is a stone monument which reads: Site of the great escaype game - 5 souls claimed, 3 souls escayped

Also on the monument is an odd coin.....which none of you is feeling up to touching for obvious reasons. You are about to leave, when the coin flips itself, and starts to alternate between 3 designs.

"One of you gets a gift....it is the least I can do for such 'lucky' players" the same familiar voice says, as you all cautiously look around once more.

"No need to worry....you have survived and there are no more traps...this time, anyways. The lucky winner will be chosen shortly, then you may go" the voice says once more.

++++

OP note to all: The game is now officially concluded(more or less). I won't bother posting the last result as the game is over, but "oddly enough"(with what me and ZFR just talked about), it was a 'nothing' result that involved finding the staff's booze stash.

Now that the game is over, players may celebrate/chat with one another/offer comments about the game/etc, as the survivors patiently wait for the winner of the prize draw to be awarded.

Hope y'all had as much fun playing this as I had running and making it, btw. :)

(Contest Note: the prize winner will be drawn from the survivors in a short while....likely in a few hours or less)

Y'all get a song to listen to as you wait for game 2 :)

"Game over...for now"

Thanks for the invitation, but I never understood the rules of Mafia games very well... I think I'll pass.

Congratulations to Microfish and greetings to all the players! And of course, thank you very much GymHenson, this game was a lot of fun and a pleasant distraction from everyday troubles, for a few days. I'm glad to know that you had as much fun hosting it as we playing. You created a very intriguing and atmospheric experience. R. L. Stine has nothing on you!
