Meanwhile, long after his fellow townspeople had left, Abenson lingered at the site of the lynching to ponder the unsettling recent events affecting Liquidia. He was so deep in his reflections that it took him a while to become aware of a presence beside him, also contemplating the empty gallows. He turned to face his fellow observer and cleared his throat. "Sad, isn't it?" he ventured.
"Yes," the man responded. "Many men will die here, before all this is done. One of them will be you."
As the words filtered through Abenson's brain, he blinked in sudden, terrible comprehension and turned to run. But the other man was unfazed; he simply reached out and grabbed a handful of Abenson's shirt with a powerful grip, preventing him from getting anywhere. Before the thwarted Abenson could break free or lash out, his attacker drove his knee hard into Abenson's groin, causing him to double over in agony. With a few quick punches and kicks, Abenson was left mangled before his attacker left the lynch site as quietly as he had come.
If anything this would hint more at
Hobbes, mind you. Though not exact, but with a little creativity and extra thinking parts of the whole procedure are similar to how tigers kill the prey.
Unfazed, powerful grip, tiring out, wearing down then strandling...
Could also hint at the animal in
Hyperbola's picture. After all it would hold down the prey and then... I don't know. Would it mangle? It seems far fetched. If we go this far it could just as well be
Cynan again with the destroyed quote. At least a mangled person is destroyed. Also Many men will die here, before all this is done. Is my english declining that fast or it's bad grammar? *hint hint* Will destroyed everyone?

Presently, 789 thought he saw something strange off in the distance and drifted away from the group to investigate. He couldn't be sure, but he thought it looked like a ghostly figure stalking past the rows of gravestones. As he stumbled forward in the darkening cemetery, he saw how it ducked in and out of the shadows, moving quickly and stealthily enough that he could never make out what exactly it was. The figure crept furtively toward him, occasionally pausing to sniff at the flowers left on people's graves and examine them with great curiosity before continuing forward. Intrigued, 789 leaned forward to get a better look. To his astonishment, the figure returned his gaze with an expression of haughty disdain. 789 was even more astonished when the figure leapt upward and struck at him, sending darts of sharp pain across his face. He lost his balance and fell, and the figure immediately seized the opportunity, slashing his throat to ribbons and leaving 789 to bleed to death.
This is very animalistic and hints at a cat.
Note that not only
Hobbes is a tiger, though but
Jayme has a cat in the picture as well. So far all the clues hinting at Hobbes might seem several, but none of them seem to point exclusively at him and only him nor is any of them undisputedly trivial. At the same time we also seem to have a solid proof at Jayme so far.
Sniffing at the flowers is a weird part. Because it's sniffing at the flowers left on the graves by others. Meaning the flowers can still hold the scent of the people who brought it to the cemetery!
Also aren't tigers more the strangling than the clawing type? Don't they usually just wrap their mouth around the prey's mouth and nose and choke them to death while holding them still and firm? Aren't cats more likely to claw the face and bleed the prey. It's well known that cats play with the prey because adrenaline frees up more sugar in the blood which makes the blood sweeter which cats like. Just an idea.

Hearing the commotion when 789 fell to the ground, Zona followed after him to check that everything was all right. He gasped in horror when he came upon the bloodstained corpse of 789 stretched out on the grass. He knelt over the body, trying to ascertain the cause of death. The grass beneath his knees felt surprisingly wet, soaking through his jeans, and Zona noticed that even the air was gradually growing harsh and stifling. He was starting to have difficulty breathing. The thick air stuck to the back of his throat and filled his nostrils, making him feel dizzy and drowsy. He tried to fight the sensation but couldn't and keeled over, unconscious. A man with a scarf wrapped around his face appeared above him, looking perfectly at home in the oppressive atmosphere. Silently bending down, the man ended Zona's breathing problems for him by taking off the scarf and looping it around his neck tightly, cutting off his windpipe until he breathed no more.
Hyperbola? The grass was surprisingly wet and his throat and nostrils were filled. Dizzy and drowsy. Drowsy? And dizzy? Drowning does make you dizzy and it's drowsy. Yet an animal living in water is like... fish in water. And the scarf... Look at the animal. When the tentacles are not open it could seem like it's face is masked or something. Yet when it's strangling it's prey it's face becomes uncovered and opens up!

Left by himself, Faronel was starting to feel nervous as he saw his comrades leaving one by one and not returning. "Guys?" he called, sounding torn between trying to keep his voice down and wanting it to carry. "Where are you?" Nothing answered him but the faint rustle of the grass. Unnerved by the eerie appearance of the cemetery at night, Faronel decided that he should leave. He had only gone a few steps, however, when someone tapped on his shoulder. Automatically, he turned to look and saw a large fist descending toward his head. He barely dodged out of the way in time. His attacker let out a loud, barbaric bellow and charged at him. Backing quickly toward the cemetery gates, Faronel tried to fend him off as best he could. But he wasn't nearly strong enough to fight off his attacker, who picked him up bodily and smashed his head repeatedly against a gravestone until he died. Dropping his limp body to the ground, his attacker then pawed through Faronel's pockets, searching for food, before he trudged off into the night.
Wait a minute...
I don't know much about wrestling, but... Someone could look into it. A wrestler! It's usual in wrestling to grab the other's face trying to hit them to solid objects, no? Or some kind of modern-age gladiator 'reality show'? There was also one with... Bucket heads and blunt objects trying to push each other off of planks into water, no? It could fit the... Geez.
It could fit the PAIL! There was this gladiator or what show. They had bucket-helmets like those from rugby and they tried to kick each other off of planks (pails) into water or nets or whatever.
And then there's the wrestler thing. It could be two mafia members, but both worth researching I think.
With keywords like... Sledgehammer... Barbaric... Or animalistic?
Again it takes a lot of strength to grab someone by the head...
Wait... I just google image findered Mystlord and what did it drop right off the bat?
Mystlord
Hammer.
Bucket helm.
Even if the post wasn't made by a user called Mystlord. It was dropped to a Mystlord search.

Is it enough or you want my personal opinion still? 
|
In the first scenario Jayme is considered for the second killer not the first. Don't twist my text.
|
Oh and by the way.
Holding someone by the head and dropping someone out the window. My ID on ICC is Sarevok as shown from my chess thread. He had a 18/00 strength, DnD 2nd edition rules. And he easily tossed off a person from the top of a building through some solid fences in the intro of the first Baldur's Gate game. 
|
The second mention of Jayme and about being cattish... Is because Jayme already is a pretty strong chance from day one and the first scenario from day three is a cat.
The first day hint at Jayme looks stronger than any of the connections to Hobbes, because most of the Hobbes hints could hint at others as well. Maybe some stronger, some weaker but still Hobbes isn't undisputed or trivial anywhere. Even on day three there's another cat among the players, too.
PS: Wasn't the short baldy guy named Hobbes from the Invisible Man series, too?

With that, he launched himself forward at the three town leaders, lifting his fists and taunting them with strange barbaric noises. Incognito was the quickest to react, and ran toward the corner of the room containing the refrigerator opening it to use the door as a shield. Unfortunately, the killer took advantage of the opportunity and kicked Incognito into the refrigerator and slammed the door shut, locking him into the cold. Glancing back, he noticed Kennigit rushing at him with a knife he found in the kitchen drawer. The killer blocked Kennigit's blade with an apple that had had fallen out of the refrigerator and swiftly proceeded to shove the remains of the apple down Kennigit's throat before throwing him out the window.
Mystlord eyem the strongest. Very-very weak link. It takes strength to throw someone out the window. But it doesn't to kick the fridge's door on someone. keit Again the only link is showing down an apple down the victim's throat. I don't know much for how barbaric Cookie Monster is, but isn't it far-fetched to call him so? Something not so obvious. meeple Into the fray my friends, may our feet be swift, our hands be sure, and our necks keep a firm grasp on our heads. ... Swift feet... Just how swift should you be to kick the door on someone right as you see they are ducking behind it. Given that Incognito was the quickest to react. And hands sure? How sure (and quick) should hands be to block a knife with an apple. And also, being struck, blocking with an apple and showing it right down their throat - and then throwing them out of the window. The quote itself also seems something you would say before a charge - a far-fetched relation with taunting, but it's still not much more far-fetched than the previous links. Another thing. Maybe there's someone linked to a barbaric/tribal shaman? I have the feeling something is still missing about this barbaric person we haven't uncovered yet. Just a feeling. Well... there's not really all that much to defend for this, since the link is basically fabricated. For that matter... I have no idea how someone would suspect Mystlord for this clue over the clue actually containing fog/mist. In my quote, there's nothing barbaric about it (something that's been mentioned twice now)... Swift feet usually involve running instead of kicking, and the quote isn't even close to being taunting, In fact when I wrote it I imagined what I would say to "the troops" to lift their spirits.
Don't twist my words. I said myself that the quote was far-fetched from taunting. And what swift feet mean generally accounts for just as much as if flamewheel knows the guy oh his picture - nothing.
The last paragraph is not about you or the actual murder. Thatswhy it is in a separate paragraph. It doesn't even talk about any of the murders just states my wondering if there's a hint more at being shamanistic in some of the murders rather than barbaric.
Because as I already stated there's nothing barbaric about throwing someone out the window or kicking someone into a fridge. Barbaric would be something much more brutal and blunt.

I would say Jayme. The first day's link to snakes is one of the most solid links ever. Given all the small things I already quoted. That and the cat thing. I don't care how much some would want to think Hobbes is the sure winner for today's hanging on a thread game, but a tiger does not kill like that, and all the other hints at him... But I already went over that.
If Jayme turn out red and we have a double lynch tomorrow we'll have two totally solid choices according to the same logic that found Jayme, and a couple of good guesses for the four remaining.
You wanted my opinion. Here it is. Jayme, and double lynch tomorrow. And lets see what the night brings.

And look at that friggin' cat in his profile for love's sake!

That's not bad. I would say it can be just as good as my Hyperbola idea.

Has anyone considered the whole possibility that the mafia doesn't even have a candidate?
We've been going on this whole shitstorm assuming someone running for office is red.
The mafia could see that and just think "well wouldn't it really fuck with them if none of us ran? They'll tear each other apart and probably end up lynching their elected candidates"
That's kind what is happening too.

Right. I'm just proposing the possibility, we should consider everything before jumping to conclusions.
Personally, I think it's likely that at least one of the candidates is mafia. Which includes:

I see no reason for not trying to find holes in your reasoning.
Or the way you're changing your opinions.
Last lynch vote, anyone?

There are no holes in my reasoning and that isn't even an example of me changing my opinion. I do feel that it is likely one of the initial candidates is mafia, but I also thought it was necessary to bring up the possibility that none of them are mafia since it was the entire reason t_co was going batshit and pointing fingers. His entire reasoning was retarded, that me and meeple are both running and we agreed about a clue, therefore we are both mafia.
That has nothing to do with what we are discussing now.
What do the other two quotes have to do with the first one anyway? lol
No comment.

I think everyone can just read the phrasing of that 'response' and decide for themselves.
+ Show Spoiler +(If they can't my thoughts won't hit through either.)
Or check out yesterday's vote summary.

Oh should I have said... Awwww but I'm sorry I didn't mean to diss you.
Tsk-tsk-tsk.
