The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
2/19/2015, 6:03pm: Gregory Jones and Angelina LaFleur have both had their names changed, and Local Information given by Fernandez, Adams, McSamuelson, Hilbert, Wayne, and Travers has been updated.
Trouble is afoot again in the sleepy and peaceful, if somewhat seedy, town of Westville. Someone has planted a bomb in a secret location, and vows to only disarm it if someone buys the proper good from the general store. The townsfolk, however, seem less than eager to help you, for they have taken it upon themselves to obfuscate any information that can help you. They promise you that with any piece information they have provided you with, 6 of them will be always honest, 6 will be always lying, and 4 will be half and half, and moreover that this will be the same for everything.
Do you think you are up to the challenge? Can you solve their riddles, take a tour around town, and save the day?
