    I believe that there is something weird going on with these posts. Not that you care. I'm just saying. It doesn't seem like there is much point in having the vote end in a tie. If it's clear for one or the other, we could test out and see if anything is different with the kills. I know it's not a great idea but it might be worth trying I guess, if you want.

    What the hell did I get myself into? Why did I agree to come back here...

    Kill Houn.

    Go away.

    Kill him! You should be in his place. You are stronge r than he is. You are more competent.

    But I'm not as sane.

    Kill him! You hate him! He kept you in squalor, forcing you to fight for your survival.

    He made me strong.

    Then use That strength to kill him!

    Leave me alone.

    Why? Why won't you kill him?

    Because you want me to.

    NO! Don't split up! Haven't you seen those horror movies?! This is the worst possible idea!

    Oh no......

    Then why not stick with everybody else. Those pussy horror movies don't scare me. Maybe you can stick with kuhlmeye and keep an eye on him. Me? I'm going to find out what the heck is going on.

    Yeah...you're right Arivia. This isn't a horror movie...nothing bad is going to happen to us?

    Right? Oh, I don't know...I hope we find him...even if he was kind of a dick.

    Oh god, we're stuck! WE'RE STUCK! STUCK WITH A MURDERER!
    ONE OF YOU IS BAD, BAAAADDDD!

    Now whose it is? Who is a killer? Is it you psolms, I think it's you I saw you sometimes in the girls toilet someone who goes there is of bad intent!
    But if this is the case that girls toiled spells trouble, then Arivia is a girl, SHE'S WORSE BECAUSE SHE WAS BORN TO USE THE GIRLS TOILET!

    But see, it's natural, this killer is unnatural!
    But COOTIES!
    Good point! Then The_Reflection! He had cooties too, as a MALE!
    Oooohhh nasty! But wasn't Reflection close to us? Would the killer be in hiding?

    MAybe, maybe not!
    I'm not sure myself! Not sure who is the killer!

    So YOU ARE THE KILLER?
    Wha? No, Faynor probably is!

    But you said You were Not Sure, who is the killer!
    This is an awful joke, and there's no time for these!
    Oh, alright. What about shalmelo then? With such a name he's probably up to no good!
    HIS NAME IS THE SOUND OF MANY UNSPEAKABLE SYLLABES OUT OF COMPREHENSION!

    Have you ever seen those horror movies where everyone pisses off like the killer's second cousin and that's why they start to get killed? But, you know, they only figure it out when they're down to Paris Hilton's BFF #3 because they're that stupid and because the killer can't kill everyone at once? No? Neither have I, BFF #3.

    Would you PLEASE. SHUT. THE FUCK. UP. This is not a horror movie, and you're not helping!

    God, you're a little neurotic.

    I would like to introduce you all to my friend, the Grandfather clock.
    Grandfather_clock_q.jpg

    Grandfather clocks as you all know are controlled by a system of gears weights and of course a pendulum but how do they work?

    Behold the inner mechanisms of a grandfather clock!
    Longcase_clock_movement.png

    Allow me to step you through how this works: the Pendulum P runs in and out of the page in a very cyclical fashion from its pivot Q. The dowel connector at f is actually a sliding holder that translates the arcing motion of the pendulum into a rotational rocking of the dowel a. The wonderful part of a grandfather clock is the Anchor latch, it is actually designed more like a giant set of frozen pincers but it is the genius part of why it works. this latch has two hooks that go into a raised spike gear with an odd number of teeth. The end result is that when one side engages, there is enough of a gap that the gear will move a specific distance and then halt as it hits the anchor. the same thing happens on the other side when the pendulum swings the other way. Pure genius.

    Now, the raised gear E is attached directly to the second hand which means that each swing of the pendulum is equal to 1 second which correlates to a period of 2s which is where we get a classic clock pendulum period from. so how does the clock get all of the hands to move in the same direction as the second hand you ask? well lets do the mechanics.

    Every time you have a basic gear interaction, the axis will spin in opposite directions. complex gear interactions will result in more complex motion but theres nothing complex about clocks. now, the small gear e is spinning in the same direction as the second hand which means that the larger gear D is spinning in the opposite direction. the ratio of D to e is actually 60:1 which will come into play later. you will notice that the axle for the c gear is actually directly connected to the minute hand. this is what makes the minute hand move 60x slower than the second hand. you will also notice that there is a gear reduction at M to H which connects to the hour hand. this makes the hour hand go 60x slower than the minute hand. hence you have time.

    Now, the last part is of course the weights at the bottom. If you look at G, that is actually a massive gear reduction system with internal gears and double axels to ensure that the spool B is the slowest moving part in the clock. the weight hangs off the spool and powers the whole system. how do you ask? well the pendulum is actually just a time regulator, the driving force keeping the pendulum in a constant periodic motion without apparant energy loss is the weights transmitting force through the gear set and up to the anchor latch. the anchor latch actually pushes the pendulum each second giving it that extra energy required to stay regular and not decay. As I said before.... pure genius.

    And that is how a grandfather clock works, I hope you have enjoyed this foray into the world of gears and gadgets.
