[gimmepie]

[NightKrow]

Vanilla ice cream is great...
...with chocolate sauce, otherwise it's meh.

Cream soda is where it's at though. :D

Literally the most vanilla game in the underground. Sign me up.

/in I like vanilla root beer I think that counts right

 

[Zeffy]

get inside me

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Vanilla is so bland and boring that, whenever I make chocolate brownies and it calls for a tsp of vanilla extract, I intentionally leave it out and add more chocolate instead. Come at me, motherfuckers.

And in. This looks fun.

 

[Ullion]

I think I'll be around enough for a single, short game. So count me in! Also, vanilla is my favourite flavour ever since I've been unable to eat chocolate. Thanks for always being there for me, Vanilla <3

(please not mafia please not mafia)

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

Well that's just rude on the part of the vanillas.

 

[Ullion]

Well at least one of the major roles wasn't hit, I guess? :/

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

how did they reach the ceiling to hang lelouch
how did the mafia do any of this without hands
wait why do fruity treats and vanilla cakes have sentience but the twizzlers dont

Now, I'm not sure if the whole "hint in the narrative" thing went out of style, but let's take a peek at the Day Post anyway:

----- "... grape skittle impaled on a toothpick and hung from the lightbulb on the ceiling by a knotted chain of Twizzlers's."

I suppose all this could just be some bizarre flavor text, but the way Lelouch was killed seems excessive. Why was he stabbed and hung? Maybe he was targeted by more than one person? The fact that he's grape may suggest that the Multi-Vitamin tried to assist but failed. Or was the Multi-Vitamin, but I highly doubt he'd be revealed as a regular Skittle.

Also, I was a bit interested if "lightbulb" may be a keyword since it struck me as odd to hang someone from a lightbulb, but then after a brief Google search it's apparently a thing that people try to hang themselves on lightbulb holders? Weird.

Twizzler's can go either way for flavor or hint. I don't know of anyone that particularly likes Twizzler's publicly, so there might be more merit in comparing username or personality to words like "knotted" or the style of death.

----- "On one end of the toothpick was a note that read: "No more will we suffer in your shadow."

I would totally think this would be a hint towards Bard being mafia if he wasn't running the game itself. Nonetheless, I think shadow may be our best bet on this whole hint premise.

----- Also, some speculative stats!

There are 15 people in the game with the addition of Doof2. 3 are inno power roles, 1 is a maf power role, and 1 is a third party. Leaving ten for plain-jane townies and mafia: assuming the ratio is a standard 4 inno to 1 mafia, that should be eight townies and two plain mafia.

So, accounting for the death of Lelouch and assuming that Water acted last night on a Skittle, here is a possible present-day roles list:

- Chocolate Cake
- Grape Multi-Vitamin
- Cherry Cola
- Skittle
- Skittle
- Skittle
- Skittle
- Skittle
- Skittle
- Vanilla Cake
- Vanilla Cupcake
- Vanilla Cupcake
- Water
- Water Acolyte

Dead:

- Skittle (Lelouch)​

Yee-hah. So much for Lelouch.

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

Yee-hah. So much for Lelouch.

It's okay, you don't need to be helpful.

I think the flavor text here is just flavor text. I believe one of the intentions of these vanilla games was to not have have hints, just a standard game with standard roles (see Gunner's recent game for example)
