  Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the 26th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. All the spellers here have won their divisional Bees, and they'll be competing for a chance to spell at the national Bee in Washington D.C. in June. I see we have some unfamiliar faces in the audience; we're glad you're here and don't worry, you'll figure out everything you need to know about the Bee soon enough. Before we get going with the rules and all that, I have just a few announcements. First of all, the Bee is proudly sponsored by Putnam County Bank and Trust, Minniver's Ice Cream Parlor and Doughnut Shack, The Barnstormer Home Goods, and Arby's. Remember: they have the meats! Moving on... There will be coffee, tea, fruit juices, and various snacks, candies, and pastries available in the lobby for $2 each. All proceeds will go to benefit the Bee, so why not take advantage of your cheat day and get some peanut M&Ms to go? Oh, and finally, to the owner of the blue pickup truck with the license plate "420-BEER," your truck nuts are highly inappropriate for this event, and they have been confiscated. You may pick them up from the front desk at the conclusion of the Bee. Thank you! The 26th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a closed setup, almost-but-not-quite role madness mafia game for 17 players. Special thanks to Cloacamazing! for help with setup design. This game will feature a mixture of standard mafia roles and mechanics and some slightly more out-there stuff - but nothing too out there, we hope. This game's flavor is based on the musical "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," with book by Rachel Sheinkin and songs by William Finn. Check it out! MAFIA RULES (Paraphrased from other, smarter goons) 1. Don't be an rear end in a top hat. 2. Don’t edit your posts without mod approval. 3. No direct quoting, screenshot posting, whatever of private mod communication. 4. Don’t talk after hammer. 5. Don’t talk out-of-thread about the game. 6. Standard lurker rules: If you fail to post at least 10 times in a standard, 48-72 hour game day, you will receive a warning. If you fail to do so again, you will be modkilled. This rule may be relaxed in case of early hammers. Please tell me if something is keeping you from posting! Real life exists, and as long as you’re communicative with me I’ll be lenient. 7. Have fun! 8. Elastic Clause: If I forgot a standard rule, assume it applies. This game will start no earlier than Monday, April 17. Deadline will be around 9 PM EST. Day 1 will be 72 hours; all subsequent days will be 48 hours. Nights will be as close to 24 hours as possible. This game requires Discord, jump in to play: https://discord.gg/p3Fqf76P Mod communications for night actions will come in the form of “your action was successful” or “your action failed,” unless mandated by the nature of the action (investigative actions, etc). The SA Mafia community takes a lot of pride in being a safe, respectful, inclusive and inviting space. If you ever encounter anything or anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable, threatened, abused, angry, or even unsure of how you feel, there are many people here, both within and outside of the SA Mafia community, who are happily willing to listen, provide support, and enact change to make the community better for everyone. Here is a short list of only some of the people that other players have suggested as a resource that you should never hesitate to contact: Leperflesh and Antivehicular (current Traditional Games Mods), VoodooFly, Hal Insandenza, Bifauxnen, Monathin, Wologar, Maerlyn, EccoRaven, CCKeane, Opopanax, Sandwolf, Shellception, or whoever else you feel safer talking to!

When we brought the (25th) Spelling Bee Broadway tour to the performing arts center I used to work at I got them to get me on stage for the audience participation part and it was one of the most fun shows I thought we had even if it isn’t the height of artistic foofooery. Sign me up for the sequel for sure!

I saw the original Broadway run of this show when I was VERY young. (We were in the front row, and the actor high-fived me during the erection song haha)

I just want to know who's returning from last year for the 26th competition, and how Salad's flavor will expand upon the lore of the original play.

It was supposed to be a day of celebration - celebration of spelling, of children, and of children who spell. It was supposed to be a joyous day, a day full of laughter and tension and surprises. And it started off that way, too, through the opening speech, the announcements, the entrance of the contestants, and the official reading of the rules. Then the first speller's name was called, and she strode to the microphone, confident as can be. The vice principal called the word: gimmick. A softball to start the competition. She asked for a definition. "Gimmick, noun. an ingenious scheme or device." She asked for the language of origin. "American English." She asked for the use of the word in a sentence. "Hand me that Yumetaro plush, Sally - I'm about to play Gimmick!" And then, right as she was about to spell the word, a bucket of oranges tumbled from the rafters of the event hall and landed on her head. She began to cry and ran out of the hall. Her parents were dispatched to clean up the mess, and a janitor was engaged to pick up the oranges and bucket. The Bee was put on hold for a horrifying 20 minutes. No doubt about it - trickery was afoot. Day One has begun. Deadline is Tuesday, 9 PM EST.
