**MHaye** , how confident are you about your guess on **lightingtool**? The sooner monsters like him are removed from the party the better, and then normal people like you and me can sleep safely in our beds at night.

I think there are only five of us left (you and me included). All the rest are now flesh-hungry, evil, dangerous, scary things that come out at night and make lunch of us. I’m worried that this number may increase.

_This paragraph is not in role_: I think I miscounted in an earlier post when I said there were three remaining. I reckon I missed out one and didn’t include myself. Apologies - I’ve had a bad few days IRL.

ETA: cross-posted with **lightingtool** - doesn’t affect content, though.

He couldn’t say “towel” or “beer”.

What do those two words have in common?

Seven more to go. Will the Hosts win this one? Or will the Partygoers prevail?

And that being said, for some reason when you don’t close a Quote tag, that’s what makes blank posts.

Wonderful detection work! Spot on. That was a tough one.

The actual wording is _You are convinced that everyone who posts RIGHT AFTER YOU (as in, the poster who posts right below any post you make in the game topic) is a monster_, but I hope that **Idle Thoughts** won’t mind if I concede. It’s very hard to be specific about the notion of a “monster” without using the exact word.

I can delete my spreadsheet now - thanks to all for playing, it’s been great fun.
