[Novo]

Actually does sound like something Mollie would come out with as well

[Lee.]

So... what happens now?

[Shaun]

Okay, the time's come for the forum to pick their winner.

Shortly, I'll open a poll for the whole forum to cast their votes in. They'll pick one option out of the five candidates to win. The vote'll be public, because I won't count votes from the five finalists, or ex-detectives. The poll results will count towards the smallest part of the final vote: the player with the most poll votes will receive five points. The 2nd shall receive four points, 3rd three points, 4th two points and 5th one point.

I shall leave it open for past detectives to post in here the name of the detective they wish to win. Each vote from a killed detective, or our previous killer Niall, shall result in two points for your final score. I ask that the previous detectives vote fairly and for someone who's put in a lot of effort, rather than for your best friend

Finally, the five judges - Matt, Zee, Braden, Jarrod. and I - shall rank you all from first to fifth ourselves. We shall base this decision on the effort, creativity, ingenuity and cunning you've played in the game. I shall tell them the name of the Killer and this'll most likely affect our scores. That time I asked you to guess the final killer in the Proofreading task? That counts Each of our rankings shall provide a finalist with one to five points, so the judges are effectively allocating 15 points each.

Once I've received everyone's votes and rankings I'll host the final on THURSDAY night at 9pm. I shall then reveal the name of the Killer, followed by the positions in which you've placed, and the winner of ICB4. A short story epilogue shall follow.

Good luck to all of you!

[Kate!]

awww. RIP Marc and Ben. Can't believe it.

I've been gripped reading all this - amazing task Shaun.

Congrats LJ Novo Mollie Doogle and Lee, the final 5. Good luck all

[Shaun]

and ffs I believed that as well Nathan

[Novo]

Good luck everyone, one of the most wide open finals i have seen in a game on here, think there are cases for each finalist to win

[Maia]

Good luck fellow finalists you lovely people

[Doogle]

Yeah we all have a really good case to win, not sure how anyone's going to vote.

[LemonJam]

Well, good luck fellows, it's been a lot of fun (dare I say too much fun )

[Doogle]

Also, killer, thank you for eliminating Marc, and Ben thanks for being a mess

[Shaun]

You may state your case to win if you like, but it won't really affect too much other than our hearts~

[Locke.]

I am stuck between 2 people, as 3 of the 5 betrayed me at one point or another

[LemonJam]

What a dashing sig you have there Mr. Locke

[Lee.]

I didn't mean to Locke

[Lee.]

I didn't mean to Locke

[Maia]

Hello Locke did I ever tell you what a fine fellow you are

[Maia]

Such a great chap who is miles better than me at Tetris

[Shaun]

Some points to consider (for judges and previous detectives):

- Novo, Lee, LemonJam and Mollie have all successfully led a team to task victory.
- Lee has earned the most immunities, with 3. Novo and LemonJam earned two, and Doogle and Mollie earned one.
- Mollie has survived the most Isolations with 3 trips. Novo, LemonJam and Doogle have survived one, but lucky old Lee was never sent... is that a good thing or a bad thing?
- Doogle aroused a lot of suspicion throughout the game with 6 total votes for him being the Killer throughout. Lee was next with 3, then Novo with 2. LemonJam and Mollie have only ever been suspected once.
- In the final guess, however, Lee had been suspected by two people. Novo had 3 suspected votes, although one was uncertain if it was him or Mollie. One was torn between LemonJam and Doogle.
- Of the finalists, Doogle has the most posts. LemonJam is second, followed by Lee, then Mollie. Novo isn't far behind, however.

[Lee.]

Less of the "old" please!

[Doogle]

I look bad, I've never been team leader

You're welcome.

[Shaun]

If a past player doesn't wish to state the name of who they want to win, they may PM me.

[Novo]

I think having the least posts out of the finalists but still making it this far just means by post quality is superb obviously

[King Gizzard]

I have enjoyed keeping up this game even though quite frankly I'm oblivious to what has actually happened nearly as much as eating yoghurt

[Benjamin]

Am I ranking the final 5? or just posting who i think deserves the win?
