Thanks, krishnan!
Seven people gathered at dusk, powerless to do anything about the werewolf in their midst. The gun was brought out and passed from person to person for a second deadly game of Russian Roulette. In the background, Norwegian Wood played softly on the radio.
Cinnamon30 and ppjones were both human.
Solution to the Round 5 Challenge
No more games. Determine the meaning of the following rebus to win the right to vote:
If you enter manzel in the Google translator with the setting on "Detect Language", you will get husband in Slovak.
Check twice by reversing the translation, and you will discover that there is a diacritical on the z; the word is actually manžel.
Enter manžel with the detect language setting, and the Czech translation is found first. Czech and Slovak are similar languages and are mutually intelligible, not surprising if you know that the Czech Republic and Slovakia were a single country (Czechoslovakia) between 1918 and 1992.
The translation still yields husband, but also provides a helpful list of synonyms including spouse, man, consort and mate.
The phrase "no more games" was a clue indicating that the game is over, which it would be in chess with a checkmate (Czech mate).
No one solved the challenge.
Round 6 Challenge
This is your chance to tell me where to go! These symbols will point the way to a truly ancient city. What is its name and what does that name mean? Answer this trivia question correctly and you will earn the right to vote.

That was a short night. Looks like no one solved the clue last round.
I will wait for this round's clue before posting further. Off to bed now.

Ooh, wow. Very short night.
Ah, wow, that clue really was a toughie. We were sort of on the right track, but then noone really followed up on the foreign language translations. Pity. Let's hope we don't have a repeat of events.
Anyway, seeing as how krishnan and cinna were really my only two narrowed down suspects, then this vote is obvious for me. Everyone else is cleared in my eyes, and it can really only be either me or krishnan. We have two bullets remaining, so this should be human autowin, so long as we earn the voting rights.
Freakshow and Tan are 100% cleared in my eyes, from the voting patterns. I very highly doubt Hadleigh is a wolf because of her behaviour throughout the game. I don't mind whether you shoot me or krishnan first, but my only concern is that if you shoot me first and noone is able to work out the clue for next round, we'll be in trouble.
It's too late for me to work on the clue right now, so I'll check back in the morning.
"Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do."

Finally I see gizzer up a notch on her translation rebus!!!
That was a really really good one, with the reverse translation. I will never get that... Going to work really hard on this round challenge coz it seems like everyone clears me, so i might be wolf food next.
EDIT: 7 symbols... 7 letters??

cant find them
Shoot me I'm probably a wolf. Especially if caberet is the Mod.

The picture is named ancient.jpg but it does not match any of the ancient scripts I have looked at. I am still working on the clue.
As far as wolves go, TanCW is definitely clear. My main suspect until now has been cinnamon, but seeing her go, it is probably one of Hadleigh and Psychic_Master. I would be really surprised if freakshow was the last wolf, since he would have to be incredibly lucky that so many things outside his control fell in place to semi-clear him. If I had to vote right now, it would be Psychic_Master first for this round and Hadleigh next.

Sorry that I didn't post yesterday when I got the message the night was over. I had a look for the symbols too, thinking they could be Runes but they aren't.
I have a shocking cold and feel like cr@p so I do apologize if I don't make sense but my head is a little fuzzy.
Edit: I have checked every language on ancientscripts.com and there isn't one that matches exactly. South Arabian & Iberian have a couple of symbols similar but that's all
Could this be a Gizzer made up language??
Edit: - this could be another round where the computer picks off a human.

It's pumpkin time!
I will be back in the morning, but probably not before the day round ends.

Hey guys. I've been out all day so I haven't been able to get on until now.
I searched for some ancient alphabets on Google but nothing I've seen so far seems to fit exactly. A few characters seemed similar here and there, but definitely no entire alphabet so far. Maybe she has been using a mix of letters from different ancient alphabets? Hmm.
"Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do."

Any chance this could be a Norwegian ancient alphabet, although that is the runes and I can't find anything to fit.

I disagree, if you look at the sysmbols they look like they come from the same set. Norwegian Wood was playing on the radio so I am assuming that is a clue.
As Giz is unlikely to be on before the end of the round, I think we are going to have another random firing. If the lone has solved, they aren't going to vote as it would be pretty obvious who they are.

Oh gosh, looks like it's going to be a random firing again. *Sigh* I hope it's me, so it's clear to everyone that krishnan is a wolf tomorrow.

I have a feeling that freakshow will be the random firing. But that is just my feeling. And tonight TanCW will die. So it will be between Hadleigh, Psychic_Master and me. I hope Hadleigh is not the wolf and my instincts turn out to be right.
It's a shame that we've got another hard question so no-one gets to vote.
Is this the last round??

Nope, there will still be another round, regardless of who gets shot. 5 people remaining, minus 2 equals 3. Humans will still outnumber wolves.

krishnan, you could be right. I do know it eats alphabetically if no wolf votes, so it would follow that the same thing will happen if no one votes during the day.

The 5 remaining players tried to interpret a strange message as the sun moved lower in the sky, painting the horizon the colour of blood. Alas, the one player who understood this language had already passed on. More blood would soon darken the ground. But whose?
Oh dear. D:

Solution to the round 6 Challenge
This is your chance to tell me where to go! These symbols will point the way to a truly ancient city. What is its name and what does that name mean? Answer this trivia question correctly and you will earn the right to vote.
As was pointed out, there are 7 symbols in this address or destination. A Google search of 7 symbols destination or 7 symbols address will reveal that this is a Stargate address.
Another search of stargate symbols ancient city will yield references to the episode Lost City Part II and the planet/city Praclarush Taonas.
A search for stargate glyphs ancient city will bring you right to the page I used for the challenge. See the glyphs and the Ancient-English dictionary sections for more information.
The symbols are a stargate address for Praclarush Taonas, which means "lost in fire".
One human solved this challenge.
Round 7 Challenge
It would be nice if we could read the wolves' minds, wouldn't it? Well, I am not a wolf, but if you can read my mind, you will be able to answer this question and earn the right to vote.
What animal am I? (5/161/0)
