The setting: Present-day Cornwall, Treleavens ice cream factory and parlour.
For the past 15 years, Treleavens has produced ice cream using traditional methods in Cornwall using milk from Trewithen Dairy near Lostwithiel, tamar fruits for berries and Bay Tree Candies of Looe for fudge and honeycomb toppings. Amongst their popular favourites, classic Cornish vanilla remains a best-seller in the southwest UK and is steadily gaining a following through the rest. Recently Treleavens has garnered a number of recognitions for its vanilla ice cream; however, these accolades aren't going ignored by those with a more sinister goal in mind.
Jealous of the success that local confectioners Bay Tree Candies has had with the ever popular ice-cream maker, the confectioners of Demarquette have their own plans, to rid the popular ice cream maker of the delectable local chocolates that parlour goers crave and replace it with their own. Even worse, they plan on expanding "distribution" of their own chocolate by spoiling our beloved Cornish vanilla with it.
Oh dear, this is madness.
But first...they might need to rid a few people standing in their way. The confectioners with the agreement of course...and those working with such in the factory.
Ice cream lovers, here's your chance.
Protect your favourite brand of ice cream from falling into the hands of those chocolate fiends and the imposters, and you can do this by sniffing them out and giving them the boot! The local chocolate has a very distinct taste to it, so thankfully it won't be too hard to taste test a little and see who might be sabotaging factory operations...or the confectioners themselves.
It's time to take back our Cornish vanilla ice cream.
Are you up to the challenge? What flavour are you?

(I'd prefer if the start date wasn't before Wednesday though)
If it is before Wednesday I cannot play as my plane leaves in about 11 hours and then 26 hours of travel. So since my name is in the player list looks like we are starting on Wednesday or Thursday.
##TeamVanilla.
Oh and VT claim incoming.
Onegu, I feel your pain in every sense of the word.
I just flew from London to Singapore and I am utterly miserable from that flight, nevermind that two of my colleagues got sick.
Safe travels home for you, when you return - you and everyone else let's have a good game! <3

Congrats on the exam! Remind me again what you are studying?

"IIIIIIIIIIIIahhhhhhhhhhh," Bill Murray sang as he swept the floor at the factory, "hooked on a feeling!!! I'm high on believing.....that you're in love with meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....."
"Will you cut that shit out?" screamed Rels who was supervising the floor. "I get it, you're crazy for Mathilde, but you're getting ahead of yourself. What are your plans for this weekend?|
Bill Murray, clearly not paying attention continued singing, completely in bliss from how successful last night's date went.
Rels sighed. "Alright, fuck it. Maintenance are cleaning a few generators, so I'm going to run lock-out procedures."
Rels walked to the equipment room and opened the door. He grabbed a few spray bottles and was getting ready to head to the lockout station when he smelled something of a foul stench. He then noticed it was coming from the equipment room across the hall.
"What the fuck..." he muttered.
He opened the door and what followed was a bloodcurdling scream.
"HEY!" screamed Bill thinking his boss was under attack. Then to his chagrin, he too, saw the dead body.
marvellosity, a factory worker (Town Vanilla) has been put out of his misery!
Day 2 has begun and in 48h you will hand out the next pink slip! Whom will it be? Please remember to vote in the correct format so that we will not miss votes! Day 2 ends in at 22:00 GMT (+00:00). At that time, the player with the most votes will be lynched.
Announcement on daylight savings - European players have just fallen back one hour this morning and we are aware that North American players will fall back the coming Sunday (2 Nov).
The correct deadline times are now reflected in the latest daypost and in my Day 2 vote counts. (Rels will update the OP when he wakes up.)
This said, North American players will revert to their 1700 ET deadline when they fall back next week.
