Current player list looks like this:
Faustgy
key2dawn
PoisonWing14
Isis
Josiah

Still hoping for at least one more player so I'll give it a couple more days. Maybe I can pester Colly into joining? We'll see...
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Everything was peaceful in the town of Pebbleversionia. So peaceful that they decided to take a vacation to a deserted island that had a very limited boat schedule and faulty telephone lines. For good measure, they made sure they could stay in an old mansion with a creepy portrait with moving eyes in the main hall, and they scheduled the vacation during a big storm. Once all this was taken care of, knowing that nothing bad could possibly happen to them, they set out for fun on the beach!

...Except that the island was surrounded by a sheer cliff face on all sides and there was no beach, as per their specifications. Instead, they had no choice but to settle into their rooms in the creepy mansion to wait out the storm.

Their rooms were spread out across the entirety of the building, but some of them were connected by secret passages for some reason. For example, there was a passage in the closet of Faustgy's room that led to a slide that slid down through the ceiling in Josiah's room. Yuki's room was connected to Faustgy's room through the chimney. Poison's room and Colly's room were near each other and, while they had no secret passages in them, were near enough to the kitchen that they could use the garbage disposal to access the dungeon, which had easy access to every other room. Isis slept in the dungeon.

Well, long story short, the next morning Josiah was dead. He was still in his own room... and all the doors and windows were locked. The only person who had keys, besides Josiah himself, was the butler, and since it obviously wasn't the stone-faced obvious psychopath butler, it must mean that one of the people on the island was the mafia! So who could have done it? You decide!

Well, first off, I must say...Aw yeah! A room close to the kitchen! First one to get coffee and breakfast in the morning!

...Anyway...Hmm...well the obvious conclusion would be the killer was someone that had easy access to Josiah's room, making Faustgy the most likely subject, and the second Key2Dawn. Isis would be the third and me and Colly last due to us having to go through the kitchen and dungeon first.

Knowing me, I would barely get pass the kitchen due to my love of midnight snacks, though I am rather quiet when sneaking around...

Colly, going the same way that I would go, would have to be sure not to wake anyone on the way there. I know that I'm not the heaviest sleeper, though I don't know about Isis.

Isis was staying in the dungeon, and the dungeon was said to have easy access to every other room. It would be quite simple to get into Josiah's room and kill him. Same situation with Faustgy and Key2Dawn, with Key2Dawn having to go through Faustgy's room before getting to Josiah's.

Having Faustgy's and Key2Dawn's rooms connected, if either of them killed Josiah, they could have woken up the other one. These facts lead to the most logical conclusion:

Isis killed Josiah, having the clearest path and little chance to wake anyone else up.

Oh Silver, I see what you did there... ;-\
Anyways, not to make things even more confusing/ambiguous, but need I remind everyone that the Mafia is not the only person to require access to everyone to carry out their duty?
And assuming room arrangements and ease of access actually correlate with who the Mafia is, I agree Colly and Poison are the least suspicious (yes, even though Poison is accusing me) while Faustgy and Key2dawn are the most suspicious (even if Poison says she is, Silver did not indicate that everyone else was a light sleeper). Anyway, shall I flip a coin...?
Just kidding. I'm picking Faustgy since he's closest to Josiah.

Let's assume, for the purpose of this mystery, that the mafia is a ninja, and therefore capable of entering and leaving a room without making any sound. The spy is also a ninja, and capable of observing someone without their noticing.

Fixed, now no one can question it. And I'll just go back to being dead now...

Oh, lovely. Who arranged this trip, anyway?
But first thing's first. Josiah's killer.
I personally would like to say that I was too busy trying to set up the Internet so I could play Vindictus to kill anyone, but I agree that I'm a likely suspect. So are Yuki and Isis, for that matter. However, we should remember that the mafia is a man (or woman) of talent and intelligence. He (or she) could have found a way to enter Josiah's room without anyone's notice.

And who's to say that Poison or Colly couldn't access the dungeon or someone else's room while the occupant of said dungeon/room was away to get food from the kitchen? Or dare to steal the keys from the butler?

Lastly, I highly doubt the mafia would be so dumb as to kill someone whose room he (or she) had easy access to. Therefore, I think that Poison and Colly, who are the least suspicious, are the most suspicious! Unless, of course, the mafia wants us to think that way so we don't suspect him (or her)... So in that case, Yuki, Isis, or I could be the mafia... But we still can't rule out Poison and Colly...

For now, I'll just say that it's Colly and hope that I don't regret my decision.

I'm connected to Faus's room? Hey Faus, guess what, I live in your chimney. o: Don't you dare set me on fire;;; Assuming I even know about this.

Anyway, so the ninja mafia. Josiah's dead. Accusations. I'm with Faus when he brings up Vindictus. I'm actually on the game right now, waiting for my campfire buff. <_<' If I wasn't trying to set up the Internet as well, then I'd be online playing the game, and probably waiting for Faus to get on to joke with him about who should host the party now.
But yeah, I guess we're pretty good suspects, given our access. That is, of course, assuming we even know about the secret passages. Personally, I'm the oblivious and not-interested kind of person, so I probably wouldn't explore without someone having to drag me along.
Good luck pulling me away from the computer.

Hmm. Faus, Isis, Poison, and Colly.
I'm going to be bias and say Faus will most likely join me on Vindictus. I want to say Isis will also log on, but that Fiona doesn't log on everyday, so I can't be sure. I can understand Poison's love for midnight snacks. Personally, my dinner is around one or two in the morning. <<' I have no idea what Colly would be up to; tell me, friend-that-I-do-not-know, have you an alibi?
At the moment, I am looking at Colly and Isis.

No, I'm not going to flip a coin this time. I'll try to actually reason things out. Until it exhausts me too much to be logical.

Sorry, I'm too busy doing schoolwork to log in everyday. :drop2: But back to the business on hand. Not that I want you to pick me instead, Yuki, but I don't think Colly is the Mafia. She doesn't seem like the Mafia type of person, if you ask me. I'm not asking you to pick yourself (or myself for that matter), but it may prove more fruitful to pick someone else.

Hmm. I honestly wouldn't know what Colly is like, Isis.
So, I guess I shall leave it at a roll, with the order being Faus, myself, Colly, Isis, and Poison. -w-
I rolled, and let Faus be my potentially-unsuspecting-witness, Poison. I have chosen!
If I'm wrong, I know who I'm picking next. :l
