Alright. That was a bad Trial. When people are trying to meta-game their way to victory, no one wins. Please keep meta-gaming out of the Trials. Alucard's post about the rules question he asked me is fine; anything specific about the rules, or situation, is important information that everyone should know so the Blackened('s) don't get away based on rule uncertainty. For an example of what I don't want to see: my name (Codeskull, not Sho), anywhere in the Trial, unless specifically tied to a rule question. Debating about why I've given evidence, or if I've given red herrings, and/or why I've done either/both of these things, is not something I want to see discussed; rather, I'd like to see debate on the evidence you've all gathered, and whether or not it relates to the murder, or if it was a red herring the Blackened planted, or (and really, this is the big one) how the evidence can be tied to other evidence to paint a clear picture of how the Blackened committed the crime, and then debating over who the Blackened may be. Trials like that tend to be a lot more fun for everyone involved (especially if the Blackened is one of the key debaters - see Game 42 [RIP HITOMI]) Some things are going to be changing as a result of this trial.

First off, I will not be executing Tsurugi; 6 people are being removed due to being AFK or by request: Amai, Amelie, Allen, Ethan, Juliet, and Sissel. I don't think adding one of the key debaters to that list will make the Game very fun. This, unfortunately proves Tsurugi's status until the Blackened wins or changes, but I ask to do this in the name of fun.
Second, I will be re-balancing Trackers. Trackers are completely losing the ability to track most of 1 person's movements (tracking all of the victim's movements, however, is unchanged). In return, they will get slightly more information when tracking two people's movements. Let me make it clear that you should not read into this one way or another. I simply believe I made Trackers too much the main focus of the Trial, and want to allow other evidence the time to shine, too.
Third: Please, please, please ask more questions on Investigation Results, and in Trial. No one said anything either time Sho spoke up; you'll read about that a little further down. There was also some evidence missed this Trial due to the appropriate players not asking questions about it.

You zetta sons of digits didn't even try, did you? I guess I was a bad teacher. Everyone blindly accepted the information I told them, even after having doubts. Do you think we'd know that G=9.8 m/s/s if Newton hadn't questioned why apples fall? Sure, at a glance, it looks like things just fall, or that people burn to death, but really, it's something else entirely!

At least most of you at least tried. Some of you didn't. Goodbye, zeros.

Execution: Paradise

Amai, Amelie, Allen, Ethan, Juliet, and Sissel find themselves on the beach of what appears to be a tropical island. The air is warm, the birds are colorful and singing, the sound of the tide is ever present and relaxing, and the island smells of fruity goodness. Slightly confused, the group looks at each other, and decide to accept this for what it is and relax on the beach.



Then an enormous text book from the sky falls and crushes the island, making a deafening sound and killing everything on it.

Tsurugi, I saw your post as I was finishing this up. It's completely up to you, stay or go, but you're still alive until you're either murdered or killed for inactivity.


Yuuki and Theodore have dropped out of the Game. 23 people remain.

[Indrid Cold]

Well, that means that Tsurugi can aid us in finding the blackened. With Allen gone, which is quite unfortunate, and Tsurugi confirmed innocent, then I see only 8 possibilities for the sharp/blunt killer argument. ^_^ I am still a suspect, but we are closer to finding the killer all the same!

[Monotaro]

Suddenly, you all hear a mad cackling sound from Tsurugi's pedestal, and the young swordsman stands up, holding a ketchup pack in his hand and smirking.

"Heheheh...ahah...AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! You really think I'd off myself that easily?!"

"Let me tell you something right now. I'm not even close to being done here, and if anyone thinks they can stop me, they've got another thing coming! I'm going to kill anyone that even thinks about attempting to kill me! And you can bet your bottom dollar on that!"

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go work on some new sword fighting techniques. Feel free to come and join me if you want to train."

[Indrid Cold]

*Cold watches as Tsurugi swagger off with both swords in hand.*

"You know, I think I am a tad older now, but sword play sounds as fun as debating. I think I shall join you for a time, noble swordsman!"

*Cold slinks off behind Tsurugi.*

[Vinny]

"HE'S STILL ALIVE! SAVE US, COMRADE!"

[superweegee]

"I didn't know what to think during the trial..."

"Well, at least we know that Juliet and Tsurugi are one-hundred percent innocent."

"Until we get the blackened, anyways."

[Lee Yuha [Hansel]]

"Good God, I thought you really terminated your life!"



"That was convincing. I wanna know how that's pulled off!" Mina trails behind the duelist and the old man.

[Sycihu Savage]

*Savage pulls out a bokken*

"I'm going with Kenzaki here. My swordsmanship too can use work... as if I had much in the first place."

[Squidzz]

"ahaha i dont think swordsmanship will help me in any way, animal surgery is more about calm and steady movements, ill pass"

'Careful, in an alternate timeline, you lost badly to him. Of course in that timeline you were the Mastermind and your defeat led to everyone being free, so I suppose that is a good thing. Hey Tsurugi, maybe you should challenge Sho? Maybe history will repeat?"

[SmolOverlord]

Miyoshi blows out an annoyed puff of air and shakes her head, sending Tsurugi a scrutinizing glare as she calls after him.

"Just don't fight anybody with their clothes on- if cloth gets in any sort of wound you could get a range of infections and diseases... Just a thought. I also don't think the vet's up for having human patients anytime soon, so please be wary of your swords."

[Sheep]

Shocked from the revealing of Tsurugi's blood being ketchup, Utsu sighed in relief.
Did he really bring ketchup to the trial? Hoping that this exact outcome would happen? Or does he just carry around ketchup at all times? I must find out.

Utsu joined the group as the headed towards the trial elevator.

[Rinako Tsuji]

"*sighs*, you sure Guys are in a Panic Mode once we have only limited time left. Well, judging by this Trial, I would never thought of it that Tsuguri is the murderer. Ah well, it's now only a matter of the Past. I'll be in my Room, if someone needs me."

[Vocalo_Cain]

"Im off to my room as well. If anyone disturbs me, I'll have you all know that it'll be off your head by the guillotine."

[Yuri (Silentking)]

"I will go to my room as well. If I put a Do Not Disturb sign on the front, I highly suggest you don't go near unless you want to know how exploding chemicals are like in real life."
