Nobody else place a vote for BDS. We want to avoid an insta to see if a counterclaim occurs.

Chapter 7

Tyler's head hurt.
Something was wrong.  He couldn't remember last night at all.  Just trying to think about it made his head hurt.  He gingerly squeezed his temples between his forefinger and thumb, grimacing.  Why couldn't he remember?
He sat on the edge of his bed.  Was this the work of the ghosts?  When he thought about the past few days, it seemed so surreal.  In the space of 48 hours his entire world had been turned upside down.  Another 24 hours had gone by in a flash.  The last thing he remembered was...  Michael disappearing.  Gerik still seemed awfully distraught over it.  He wondered if those two had been close.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door.  A piece of paper slid under the crack.  He gingerly stepped toward the door and picked up the note.
   "My good friend tyler;
   Of all the people from the village who are trapped here, i am glad you're among us.  Nobody else I know is as courageous.  Knowing you're a cormaci gives me hope that you will lead us out of this death trap.
   -Always look on the bright side!"[/size]
Tyler narrowed his eyes.  There was something wrong with this note.  First of all, he didn't know anyone from the village, aside from Travis.  Second of all, this person's handwriting was really sloppy, seemingly intentionally.  The weird lack of capitalization on the first "I" and the "c" in Cormaci also confused him.  Shoving the mystery note in his pocket, he wriggled into a striped sweater and stepped out into the hall.
Half-tripping down the stairs, he made his way to the dining room.  Everyone else was already there.
Addison was already giving a speech.
"...when the 16 of us first got here, we didn't really know what to expect.  But thanks to Skyler's help, I'm certain of it now.  In roughly two days, the night of the autumn equinox is a full moon.  I believe by then the spirits will lose all influence on the corporeal plane, with one caveat- if we fail to follow their instructions, they will almost certainly become entirely malevolent.
"That leaves us with just two more sacrifices to make.  I know you're all worried about the coven among us, which seems to be going about making their own calls.  For now, let's focus on disbanding this coven.  We are lucky indeed that nothing seemed to happen last night, but I would not like to take chances."
"Well then, should we start our vote?  Might as well get it over with."  Rachel sighed.
General mutters of agreement.  There was a weird tension of trust and mistrust in the air.
"Addison Gardiner."
"Miguel del Rey."
"Miguel del Rey."
"Rachel von Karma."
"Addison Gardiner."
"Zachary Sharpe."
"Zachary Sharpe."
"Zachary Sharpe."
"Zachary Sharpe."
"Zachary Sharpe."
Zachary looked dumbfounded.  "Is this a conspiracy?  Do you really think I would have killed my own brother?"
Gerik glared at him.  "You voted for Michael, too.  I'm guessing I'm next, right?  Zachary Sharpe."
"Well, that's exactly half, so we have no need to make any more votes."
Zachary's face contorted trying to cycle through all the emotions he was feeling.  Finally, he broke down and started sobbing.  "Fine.  Maybe I'll see my brother again, you monsters."
Clearly uncomfortable, Addison ushered everyone out of the dining room.  "Once we've made a choice, I don't think the ghosts will let us change it.  I feel bad for poor Zachary, but this is democracy."  He shook his head.  "When will this end?"
Zachary's crying continued.  Addison took a pocketwatch out of his suitcoat.  "He should be taken by now.  I wonder what's going on?"
He opened the door a crack.  He could hear Zachary, but couldn't see him.  Interesting, he thought.  I couldn't have predicted that.
He turned to the uncomfortable guests in the hall.  "Well, Zachary is gone.  The sobbing seems to be a tactic by the spirits to get under our skin.  I would suggest getting used to it."
***
Zachary buried his head into his knees.  He was curled up in the attic with his back to the wall.
"I'm sorry, Zachary, I really am.  I never meant for any of this to happen."
"WHY ISN'T HE HERE?!"
"Listen- there's a lot going on here that even I don't understand.  Once you've calmed down sufficiently, you, me, Michael, and the cat-man will talk, all right?"
Zachary continued to cry.  "I always knew he was going to be the successful one... I was so jealous of him.  Now he doesn't get the chance he deserves."
Mikey frowned.  "Try to get some rest.  Maybe you'll feel better tomorrow.  In the meantime, just think about what's been going on and be ready to tell me everything you feel comfortable sharing.  For now, just don't sweat it, all right?  I know you've been through a lot."
He turned back to the desk.  "They've all been through a lot," he muttered under his breath.  "And I was wrong- it wasn't them.  It never was."

Not sure if this is important, but I'm noticing multiple inconsistencies and oddities in the phase change posts, particularly the player list.

In the OP, TheZeldaPianist's name listed as 5th out of 16, between SuperMarina and Dudeman -

4. SuperMarina
5. TheZeldaPianist
6. Dudeman

Starting Day 1, their name is listed as 17th, after ThiccWifeSiccLife -

16. ThiccWifeSiccLife
17. TheZeldaPianist

Starting Night 4, their name is listed as 10th, between raeko and E. Gadd Industries -

9. raeko
10. TheZeldaPianist
11. E. Gadd Industries

There are also inconsistencies with how killed players are treated. On Night 2, davy's name is crossed out with his role only being mentioned after the player list -

1. davy

On Day 2, davy and Trasdegi's names are crossed out with both their roles being displayed by their names.

1. davy Khajiit
9. Trasdegi Daniel Sharpe

Starting Night 3, davy, Dudeman, and Trasdegi's names are crossed out with no roles displayed by their names -

1. davy
6. Dudeman
9. Trasdegi

Starting Day 3, Olimar12345's name is removed from the player list instead of being crossed out, with the numbering skipping from 4 to 6, skipping 5, Olimar's number from the previous phase -

4. SuperMarina
6. Dudeman

Starting Night 4, Olimar12345's name is removed from the player list, but the numbering does not skip 5 -

4. SuperMarina
5. Dudeman

In the OP, Olimar12345's name is removed from the player list, with the numbering not skipping 5 -

4. SuperMarina
5. TheZeldaPianist

As I have mentioned in the Discord chat, the character "晦" used as the chapter number for Day 3's post translates from Chinese as "dark," "obscure," and "night." In Japanese, it is used in compound words such as "last day of the month," "to fool," "obscure," and "darkness."
"ChÁpter 晦" from Day 3 also has the word "monika" written six times amid the random characters.

On Night 4, the chapter starting with "Tyler's head hurt." is labeled as Chapter 7, assumingly counting "ChÁpter 晦" as Chapter 6 -

Chapter 7

[close]

In the chapter list below the OP, this chapter is referred to as "Chapter 6," with "ChÁpter 晦" being omitted -

Chapter 5

[close]

Chapter 6

[close]

(snipping contents of chapters for character count reasons)

Some small text at the bottom of the Night 4 post reads -

Oh, man.  I hope I did this right.  I tried my best to imitate his writing style...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If I counted correctly, there are 1,110 "x"s.
The second dot in the ellipsis of the PS is actually small text -

I hope this game isn't.not. driving you crazy!

...that should be it. Hopefully this information turns out to be useful.

[FireArrow]

After all that's happened, now we have to play against the host too.

[E. Gadd Industries]

The host edited their N4 post!
