Masq Season 3

Murder at Masq Manor, otherwise known as Season 3, served as the third installment of the Circle (Now officially renamed "The Masq"). It was hosted by Andres and was held from April 6th to April 19th of 2020. This season marked a stark change of style and a departure from the name and mechanics of "The Circle", with its new name being based on the idea of a masquerade. From this point onward, each season debuted with its own unique mechanics for a more dynamic experience. 
== Overview ==
This season was essentially a murder mystery. It began with Monita as its host, now repaired and hoping to make amends for mistakes her alter ego had made. However, during a "New Beginnings Banquet" on the first night, she was murdered. A guest, Mr. Red, revealed his occupation and stepped up as the new host, Detective Red. 
One of the players was secretly a murderer, and another was the accomplice. There was also a guest who played as a red herring. All others were innocent. 
Players interacted through chats and games in hopes to figure out who among them was Monita's killer. Super Influencers were replaced with "Executioners," and blockings were replaced with "Executions," but the elimination process was similar to previous seasons. Players that were executed were then revealed to either have been innocent or guilty.
For every two rounds the players went without catching the culprit, the murderer struck again, this time killing a guest. Murders and executions were written in story format, which also marked the beginning of written storytelling in The Masq.
The final 5 players gathered together for a final vote of who they believed to be the killer.

== Trivia ==
* In the votes after the season, Plague Knight (played by Ghastly), was the fan favorite vote
*To the knowledge of all players and audience going into the season, Monita 2.0 (a newly virus-free Monita) was meant to host. Her murder on the first night was a surprise to all.
*The last few surviving players voted and decided that Twice was the murderer. This was false, and cost them the game. Marina escaped and has influenced lore since. 
*In the 24 hours leading up to the final vote, many audience members were suddenly convinced that Revali was the killer and had fooled them all. Because Revali was well liked and respected, they were relieved to discover he was innocent.
*Upon Marina's reveal as murderer, Ordis suggested turning her into "octopus soup." Some audience members began chanting "Octo soup!" References to octo soup have popped up several times since. ﻿
