Okay. I'll flip to voting for Bakhtosh. If I'm wrong I'll blame McNutt for the confusion surrounding "passing the mantle" to gbadsen.
May God have mercy on our souls.

Come on McNutt, I'm not feeling well and want to get to be early tonight...this game has kept me up late all week. I want to see what happens next...
Wait...what's that? Count the votes?
1 for you, and 1 for me, 2 for you and 2 for me, 3 for me...4 for...

Well crap!
Game over man! Game over!
Guess I can go to bed now...

As Smutly sealed his doom, Bakhtosh turned to setaside, approaching him with tears in his eyes, "setaside, my friend, please do not do this to me."
As Bakhtosh reaches to embrace him, you all spot the wire-filled belt peeking out from the top of Bakhtosh's fatigues. Before anyone can react, Bakhtosh's tears turn to laughter as he detonates the bomb belt he was wearing, showering everyone with pieces of himself and setaside.
Aside from a few minor schrapnel wounds, the rest of you escape unharmed, but not unchanged.
In Bakhtosh's belongings, you find a DVD, playing it, you see a slightly younger Bakhtosh sit down, dressed in all black, but with his face uncovered. He has Islamic markings drawn on his headband and cheeks.
He calmly states:
"I am the Shahida Reem Saleh Riyashi, and today I consecrate myself to the destruction of the Zionist state of Israel and her puppet: the United States of America. We, the Islamic Brigade of Jihad have pledged our lives to this cause, forsaking all other loves, duties, and pledges.
My dear mother, you who have cared for me, today I sacrifice my life to be your intercessor on Judgment Day. O my love and soul, wipe your tears, don't be saddened. In the name of Allah, I've achieve all that I've aspired. Don't let me see you sad on my wedding day with the Maidens of Paradise. So be happy and not sad, because in the name of Allah, after death is merciful Allah's paradise.
I hope that the shredded limbs of my body will be shrapnel, tearing the Zionists to pieces. Knocking on Heaven's door with the skulls of Zionists, will I gain my entrance into that holy land and be united with the fruit of my reward.
To my [sneering] fellow comrades watching this video, I spit on your graves. If you are watching this, then you have found out my secret and exposed it to the light. Know this, in those last seconds before I carried out my Shahada, I was finally at peace, and I pray that the looks of shock
and sadness on your faces will be imprinted in my memory forever.
Do not think you have won because of this. You have already lost. There will be another after me, and another, and another after that. We will destroy and reach you everywhere. We will teach you lesson after lesson, attack after attack.
Angels of mercy, escort our souls to Heaven after we fulfill this duty of crushing the descendents of monkeys and pigs. Dear father and mother, blessings of honor and respect to you, while you escort me to the Maidens of Paradise as a martyr.
Allah Akbar!"

Let me fill you in on what's going to happen so you can go to bed:
A) You are not a terrorist-game over -we all congratulate the terrorist for really pulling the wool over our eyes.
B) You are a terrorist. Smutly gets the bomb for fingering you. gbasden gets killed that night by the terrorist (Silky). Setaside is the swing vote for who dies next.
C)I'm so totally wrong that I feel like a complete moron and smutly, gbasden or setaside ends up being the other terrorist.
Looks like we'll find out tomorrow.
Good night.
Edit: Holy Crap. I missed that as I typed. Looks like it was B)
So it looks like setaside and gbasden are innocent (Since gbasden also said setaside was innocent and bakhtosh was the terrorist). I assume gbasden is telling the truth and That leaves smutly or silky. Easy choice for me.

By the way, my entire post above was written by Bakhtosh. Nice job, for a terrorist.
The team feels saddened by the loss of setaside to Bakhtosh's dastardly suicide bomb. However, they feel a bit more confident as they lay down to get some much-needed sleep.
The hot sun quickly wakes you up. Did you even fall asleep? Doesn't feel like it. Gah. Wake up, gbasden. Your breath stinks. gbasden?
The lone terrorist has struck again. gbasden has been the latest, and possibly last victim of the Jihad.
setaside - dead
Bakhtosh - terrorist
Mr Bubbles - dead
Lassr
ArmyOfOne - dead
Silky
Zekester - dead
Harkonis - dead
msteelers - dead
Smutly
gbasden - dead
This is it, folks. Silky, Smutly, and Lassr will duke it out to see if good does prevail. The next vote will end the game. Make it count, people!

Your lies have doomed you.
Edit: Why setaside? I know both smutly and setaside were leary of you but smutly actually voted for you temporarily. I thought smutly would buy the farm next.
Could smutly be playing us both?
Sorry but after your actions from earlier I still think it's you.

setaside was killed for 2 reasons
1. Smutly is very likely to vote for me
2. The terrorists fear that he could be the confused and used gbasden to take the fall for him
Smutly go back through the thread again when you get the chance and look at all the back and forth between Bakhtosh and Lassr. Look at post times as well. Hee Hee you seem to be reading my mind. Golly Gee Shucks your right. They have been working as a team this whole time. If you can't see that now then I am sorry.
I removed my vote for Lassr. If I get some small satisfaction from this mess it will be to cast the final vote.

Post times mean nothing. i am active on the forums 2 times during the day. 8am-3:30pm Central and 9pm~11:30pm Central. It only takes one PM from the terrorist if they've coordinated their attacks. It seems Bakhtosh has about the same hours. Probably Work hours and after the kids go to bed like me.
I realized it was really unfortunate for me that McNutt happen to post the results as I was typing a post. That really sucked for me but nothing I could do about it.
I was here at 9 when McNutt posted 'results coming in seconds.' Nothing happened. So I watched the rest of the football game.
I came back and still nothing. I figured it would be morning because everyone was away from the forum. As I was typing McNutt made his post.
All I can ask is Smutly go back and review everything also. The answer is there but results can be different accoding to who is deciphering it.

This is not quite true. I say this more for the dead soldiers than for the living. My LIE (singular) has given us a chance. That is all that I wanted. The play by play is really quite simple.
I am a true soldier (I say this because it annoys Smutly). I was going to be lynched. Smutly led the charge followed by you and Bakhtosh. The game was in the bag. Setaside has already voted for me the two previous times. I had no idea what gbasden was doing or if indeed he was still in the area of operation.
You have no idea how happy I was when gbasden came forward Lassr. I did not know your true nature at the time but it soon became very apparent.
When he did all of the pieces fell into place. You see I know something that no one else knows. I am not a terrorist but a soldier. I even sent a coded message to gbasden, smutly, and setaside telling them what was going to happen. Perhaps this will damn me more than help me but I did what I did.
I told them who was going to die and why. I laid the whole game out for them to read and peruse. Maybe this is just what a terrorist would do and I have been working with Bakhtosh the whole time.
In order to believe that you must believe that I think it is funny and cool to be framed. That it would not draw suspicion to myself. That it is an elaborate ruse. Bakhtosh and I orchestrated the whole thing and it is working exactly as planned. That our verbal judo is yet another trick. If that is the case then we should win an Emmy. I have little love for Smutly. He finds me distasteful and shady. I can accept that because my deception gave us a chance.

Well, after a little thought I'd thought I'd reveal what I've been PMing to smutly (no harm now) for all you lurkers reading along.
I made the post (as McNutt was posting) stating Smutly would be killed (if Bakhtosh was a terrorist)in hopes that Silky would leave him alive just to prove me wrong and I hope Smutly would be on my side.
But then when I posted I see that McNutt had already posted and said setaside was the victim of the bomb. Well, I knew Silky didn't have time to read my message and then instantly PM McNutt and McNutt posted the results so something else was happening.
It dawned on me a little later that setaside was mostly likely the confused and was relaying the info to gbasden so gbasden would be sacrificed instead of the real confused (setaside), then Silky would take out Smutly for being suspicious of him and then setaside would be free to ask in the next round "Is Silky a terrorist." It would come back 'Yes' and we've won.
Setaside was then shocked when he got killed. So setaside was the confused and knew gbasden was innocent instead of the other way around. Silky just figured it out before me, and he does confirm that he figured it out in the post above.
I pm'd all this info to Smutly so we'll see what he does with it. He either believes me or I'm a GREAT liar.
Smutly we wait your hand of death...

The lurkers in this thread either have a headache or are in amazement. Kind of like watching Spanish soap operas.
Ah. So I can communicate with fellow lurkers, but not with actual players? Ok.
Spoiler:
Deleted until I can figure out how to use spoiler tags correctly!
EDIT: WOULD SOME KIND SOUL HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHAT I DID WRONG WITH MY SPOILER TAGS? Because, I hand my head in shame, but I obviously have no clue what I am doing here. Can you simply not put quotes into spoilers? I am a failed Geek-ette...

No you fail at the spolier tag part.
Here is the deal. There is a fair amount of PM's wordsmithing, truth, and falsehoods going on. I almost hope that if there are any lurkers around that they are lining up with popcorn bowls in hand rooting for one side or the other.
This has been a very very intense game for me and others as well. McNutt I suppose is to be congratulated for putting together such a intense scenario. It almost make you want to play harder because it is about something more than werewolves or vampires. He has shortened my lifespan a little bit by doing so.
I think we are at a point where nothing more anyone can say will matter. Now that I am there I am trying to have a little bit of fun again with this. I think all of your questions have been answered already Malachite in other parts.

No I intentionally did not quote it. I wanted to give you the power to either fix or remove it. If any of the active players besides myself did read it I certainly do not think that it "spilled the beans". It was a question about a point that seemly had not been addressed. I pointed out that I believed that it was addressed already and I think Malachite agreed.

I did. And if anyone can help me figure out how I can include quotes inside spoiler tags, I'll repoast it. Since I'd basically just quoted the players multiple times with a couple prefacing comments by me, I can't really edit it and have it make sense, if I can't put quotes inside my spoiler. Or at least, I don't think I can. Hmmm... let me go work on it....
Doh! Of course I can do this! I just need to use "quotes", not [quotes]!
Here you go!
Spoiler:
One of the following people has got to be the jihadist, sowing confusion. The other one just seems to be being a bit clueless:
Lassr wrote: "Edit: Why setaside? I know both smutly and setaside were leary of you but smutly actually voted for you temporarily. I thought smutly would buy the farm next."
Silky wrote: "setaside was killed for 2 reasons
1. Smutly is very likely to vote for me
2. The terrorists fear that he could be the confused and used gbasden to take the fall for him."
Backtracking a bit:
Lassr wrote: "Let me fill you in on what's going to happen so you can go to bed:B) You are a terrorist. Smutly gets the bomb for fingering you. gbasden gets killed that night by the terrorist (Silky). Setaside is the swing vote for who dies next."
Lassr wrote: "I made the post (as McNutt was posting) stating Smutly would be killed (if Bakhtosh was a terrorist)in hopes that Silky would leave him alive just to prove me wrong and I hope Smutly would be on my side."
Silky wrote: "You absolutely know you are guilty Lassr and I know it as well. If Smutly were the terrorist the game would be over. He would not have retracted his vote. This leaves ONLY you and Bakhtosh. All you are trying to figure out is who would it be best to leave alive besides myself. Who mistrusts me more.... Smutly or Setaside."
So why was setaside really killed? Why are neither of them suggesting that it's simply because of this?
gbasden wrote: "I am the confused. Bahktosh is a terrorist. Setaside is clean."
So IS there a way to use [quotes] inside spoiler tags? And if so, how?

After much consideration and re-reading (including the considerable number of PMs I've received), I am voting for Lassr. I'm surprised that Lassr would resort to the same type of pandering in his PMs that I interpreted as suspicious behavior on the message boards. In the end, Silky voted for Bakhtosh and Lassr voted for Silky. Also, the information I received in PMs from both Lassr and Silky tilt toward Silky being more in tune with the facts as we've come to understand them in the game.
