Sometimes, a mysterious stranger would appear in the cbox, IRC, and even Discord to light things aflame. However, they always manage to get away before anyone can figure out their identity. Fortunately, local Fire user and do-gooder Reese always seems to be there, at the scene of the crime, helpfully pointing us in the direction the culprit conveniently fled to before anyone else could notice. Sadly, in spite of Reese’s great efforts to the cause, the mysterious arsonist has still not been captured to this day…

LG: Someone started some of the huts of my land on fire! We know it wasn't an accident! I'm willing to bet that it won't be the last time someone starts fires around IGNOLand. We must bring this douche bag to justice!  Is anyone else having this problem?

xL: I woke up one morning and my pubic hair was gone...and my genitals were sore.

SG2: Isn't that just a regular Friday night for you, though? Also, I have been noticing some more brushfires than usual in the SG2 Savanna...but I didn't think too much of it because, well, it's a Savanna. But now that you mention it, it is a little suspicious...

LG: The thing is I think it has to be one of the key IGNOites and not one of our slaves citizens because they would be afraid of being sentenced to death the corner as a punishment.

Mr. Bones: no fires in my parts, but i don't think a city made of bone, concrete and on a series of canals would be very flammable, hmmm maybe it was you LG, burning down your own huts and some of SG2's savanna because you're mad about being fired and losing your role as Sultan of Semen. You set those fires DIDN'T YOU?

Bradios: I powered up this morning, went into the armory and discovered that a majority of my weapons were gone.

Reese: Hmm, most of my lands are aflame. I'll have to do some thourough surveying to see if anything on fire isn't supposed to be.

Mr. Bones:

hmmm maybe it was you LG, burning down your own huts and some of SG2’s savanna because you’re mad about being fired and losing your role as Sultan of Semen. You set those fires DIDN’T YOU?Mr. Bones
Trust me I lost some of my best sex slaves and PENISes in that fire. If I was going to burn things down I would have done it on less important buildings. Also the role of Sultan of Semen was so unimportant to me that I forgot about it so I don't think I would be upset about losing it.

SG2: I have to admit LG makes a good point, here. I'm thinking it's far more likely that one of our fire-element IGNOites would be a prime candidate for spreading random fires...so either Russell is trying to mislead us with his innocent-sounding post, or, more likely... *points dramatically at Hamel*

I theorize that Hamel is setting fire to random areas of IGNOLand!! Being a fiery shadow demon of shadowy fieryness, she has the means - the ability to create fire from her own body, as well as use her shadows to sneak around unseen which is how the culprit hasn't been caught. Futhermore, she has the motive - an attempt to overthrow the dictatorship divine rulership of Fuhrer Bones and get IGNOites to elect a new leader, this mysterious 'Noa' character she wants us to vote for!!

What say you to defend yourself, Hamel?!

I’m kind of shocked I was still making Umineko references in 2013, considering my incredibly sour feelings about the series at that point in time.

Karma: I've also seen a few fires around the Blood Country. This is absolutely unacceptable, as fire is banned from the Blood Country due to being a rare weakness for a vampire, and I absolutely won't stand for myself or my undead minions citizens being threatened. This culprit needs to be found, and stopped. Immediately.

Hamel: I have a theory that it may be someone from the Magical Tunnels that is not me. If anyone can provide time frames for when they think that the fires first arrived in their lands I can provide alibis for all of them.  You all tend to forget that I do not really "rule" the Magical Tunnels, I'm a squatting resident there with no power over the other residents and while there is an area in them that is completely fire it is not entirely the same for other areas. While I have struck a deal with the other people there that I wont' attack them if they don't attack me and we have known to work together before, whoever this arsonist is, it is not me.

Karma: Well I know the flames happened in the Blood Country during the day. The Blood Country is eternally dim and overcast to make it easy for us undead folk, since the sun is sort of...an irritant...to us. But even with the cloud coverage and eternal magically-induced darkness, we can feel when it's day and night, and my minions citizens are weaker during the day.  This arsonist is clever; they struck in the Blood Country at just the right moment, taking advantage of our dislike of the day.  But if it isn't you, Hamel...then how do you suggest we find the REAL culprit?

SG2:

Knowing for certain that you'll be able to perfectly provide alibis for any time, before they're even given? That's oddly suspicious... BUT, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Anyone remember why Hamel lost her position as the oberstgruppenfuhrer a year or so ago? That's right. It's because she (like half the residents of IGNOLand by now) stole one of the cloned cloning machines, and made several clones of herself. She was ordered to destroy them all under further penalty, but remember? One of them escaped, and we were never able to track it down and destroy it... ...is it possible that this Hamel 108 has returned and is causing these fires? Because like I said - Hamel's body being made of fire and shadows gives her pretty much the perfect capability to sneak around and commit these crimes unseen by any of us. So if it's not Hamel, maybe it's her rogue clone...

Mr. Bones: yes that is true the now deposed oberstgruppenfuhrer does have a rogue clone. if it is your clone causing the fires then you know the rules; your clone, your responsibility. if you track down and incarcerate or extinguish your clone you are free to go, but if you fail well you guys get the jist by now, how many times have we gone through this spiel now? get cracking hamel, everyone else search for more evidence, just in case it was someone else, because remember, a famous fictional doctor once said, "Everybody lies." (except for Karma her text is in red)

Hamel:

Knowing for certain that you’ll be able to perfectly provide alibis for any time, before they’re even given? That’s oddly suspicious…SG2
Do you not know the act of hibernation? Between sleeping I've been eating if not eating I've been sleeping. But it might be a clone, *shrugs* I don't know, didn't keep up with that and frankly, if its not in my territory I have no interest in doing anything about it since it's not doing me any harm.

Mr. Bones: no it wont do you harm but we will. the rules have been laid down since before you took power, round up your clone and either execute or incarcerate it, or you'll be incarcerated. i have a nice underwater cell designated for one of you. your clone your responsibility. those are the rules we all have to abide by well except me and people i make exceptions for

Hamel: Then how are we certain that it is not YOU that is trying to frame someone? If you are not to follow your own rules then what is stopping you from framing other people in order to "exert your title?" out of pure boredom? Lets not forget that your area was not under attack. Again, if you want it under control then YOU take the responsibility for it considering YOUR position over things and matters, I cannot be bothered by such trivial things interfering with my hibernation. This is the last I will post on this matter and now I bid adieu, don't bother trying to find me because I will be dispersed throughout various particles of fire and shadow until my hibernation is complete.

SG2: ...I'm not sure why Hamel has to hibernate, but a thought occurs...if her clone is a clone of her, then shouldn't it also need to be hibernating at this time of year for whatever reasons she is? That would mean it couldn't be her clone in the first place, right? So it would seem we're back to square one. :/

LG: What if it's an attack coming from outside of IGNOLand? Or what about the possibility of someone doing this by accident? Or what if I'm out of ideas D: WHAT DO WE DO NOW!?!?! OR WHAT IF IT'S EVERY VILLAIN IS LEMON!?

Hamel: I don't think the Lemongrabs would have anything to do with the fires. It seems incomprehensible to their nature.

Mr. Bones: maybe it was Man Ray or the Dirty Bubble, i mean after Mermaid Man's tragic death i would assume that they would reorganize and run rampant around the world

SG2: I feel like it might be hard for underwater supervillains to be experienced arsonists, though...and the lemongrabs would probably be sentenced to the 3 weeks dungeon at the very least for such crimes. No...I think we're looking at someone more familiar with IGNOLand...

LG: You know SG2 you are pretty quick to shut down everyone's suspicions. Also you know IGNOLand better than anyone...

MTS: I WOKE UP WITH MY TIITS SINGED WHAT THE HEEEELL GUISE

Cowsy: Oh sorry MTS, I lit the fire cause it was cold and it kinda got out of control >.<

Reese: Hey! Hey, guys! I was struck by the arsonist, too.  He set my, uh... lava... on fire!

SG2: ...I can't quite put my finger on why...but I find the things you say to be highly...suspicious...

Cowsy: Something to do with lava already being on fire? Nah, can't be it, that would be too obvious.

Mr. Bones: it's a collusion between Russell and Cowsy, she's clearly trying to deflect blame onto him with her last response. has anyone else noticed hoofprints on their land? I've noticed a few citizens with hoofprints and scorch marks on them, but like i said, as my land is pretty flame retardant due to environment and building materials i can understand why fires weren't successful, bones and water aren't exactly flammable.

SG2: You should check out the latest happenings in the cbox backlog. Some of the things Russell said there, well... Call me crazy, but I feel very suspicious right now... 

cbox
MrBones: SUBJECT CHANGE COWSY ADMITTED TO ARSON

SG2: Cowsy didn’t admit to being the arsonist but I accused her in IRC and it seems likely.

SG2: She burned MTS by accident, why not the rest of IGNOLand?

MrBones: EXACTLY

SG2: That’s what happens when you try to use matches with hooves and no thumbs…

MrBones: wait for it

Blackfenix: Yes! She’s the arsonist! Of course, you know, hooves and matches and all that… Yes, definitely Cowsy.

SuspiciouSG2: Hmmm….

NervousBlackfenix: Hmmm? What’s hmmm?… I’ll tell you what’s hmmm, it’s the price of gasoline these days, that’s what’s… uh, nevermind

Cowsy: D: I didn’t mean to burn MTS D: !

SuspiciouSG2: Maybe you didn’t. MAYBE…YOU WERE FRAMED!!

SuspiciouSG2: By a certain red-haired fire bend…I mean, fire wielder…

NervousBlackfenix: No, no, it was definitely that clumsy Cowsy. Oh, p-poor clumsy Cowsy with those c-clumsy hooves. Very irresponsible to be using matches.

NervousBlackfenix: A-after all, Cowsy remembers it, and I can’t implant false memories.

SuspiciouSG2: …I feel there is a conspiracy afoot…I can’t quite place my finger on why…but I’m feeling…

SuspiciouSG2: …suspicious.

ShiftyBlackfenix: I’m certainly not any sort of traitor if that’s what you’re implying.

SuspiciouSG2: What a neutral thing to say…

ShiftyBlackfenix: I’m no neutral!

SuspiciouSG2: That’s exactly what a neutral would say!!

ShiftyBlackfenix: Oh yeah? Would a neutral have bur… bur…would a neutral have spent so much time hanging out with Bernkastel?

SuspiciouSG2: …what.

ShiftyBlackfenix: Yup, Me and Bern are old pals, I certainly didn’t almost say that I had burned something recently.

SuspiciouSG2: I can’t figure out why…but something definitely feels off right now. Something feels suspicious…

SuspiciouSG2: I can’t seem to find any obvious reasons why I feel that way, though…

ShiftyBlackfenix: Well, anyways, I was with Traitor when it happened, so it couldn’t have been us, I mean me. Couldn’t have been.

SuspiciouSG2: …why were you with Traitor, the neutralest neutral in the land…?

BigGayBearfenix: uh… buttsex. Oh noes, you’ve found us out! It’s just a torrid affair, it meant nothing to me, I was only in it for the sex. His neutralness was an exotic friut I had to taste.

AccusatoryBlackfenix: But enough about me, something has to be done about Cowsy, we don’t want a repeat of the great Chicago fire. That was also started by a cow, nasty accident with a lantern.

AccusatoryBlackfenix: Cows and open flames just don’t mix

SuspiciouSG2: How do you know so much about these cow-related fire incidents…it’s almost as though you researched it…

Blackfenix: Oh just something I read in the Blood Castle library back when I was staying in Blood Country.

GrillMasterBlackfenix: I was looking for a guide to grilling steaks, but it seemed the only book the Kaiser had on the subjects of cows and open flames was a cautionary tale.

SuspiciouSG2: Hmmm…

SuspiciouSG2: I GUESS that’s believable…but I’m still suspicious…

Bradios: Suspiciousness, conspiracies, possibly traitorous behavior. This arsonist, whomever it may be, seems to be tearing IGNO apart!

SG2: So you just showed up to this thread to basically summarize what everyone already knows is going on, and state the obvious...? I'd say that puts you back in the running as a suspect, Bradios.
