Ok, let me answer this with respect to you.

1. Strong clue link - look at the freaking picture:

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.


2. Shady posting behavior from the start, which got a LOT worse in the past 2 days. After my post on page 74 you should have read the writing on the wall and given up on DrH. The same goes for your mafia team-mates - sadly you guys just fell apart. After the votes/evidence started to pile in, you STILL argued. You bring up repeatedly the supposed "solution" of lynching keit first to "prove" DrH is not red. Even freaking DrH had given up at that point man - he stopped posting because he knew it was over! Even after that, you continue to claim we should not double-lynch, using nonsensical arguments and pointing fingers at the same players DrH obsessively attacked for many days now. Give me a break - this is not even subtle. I don't have the patience to copy/paste - anyone interested read from page 74 onwards.

You are getting vigilante hit tonight. GG man, I feel there wasn't anything you could do, the entire team strategy lost you the game.

1. Did you not read my post breaking down Ng5's "image search"? Furthermore, the image that comes up does not have "Mystlord" in the title. The one that comes up is further down, and it refers to the wand that Ng5 posted later, which I also argued against with no further arguments from either you or Ng5. Don't ignore posts.

2. I never argued against a double lynch. Where are you getting this one from? As for arguing for a keit lynch, ever notice how it was just me? Who are "you guys"? And honestly, neither you nor Hobbes ever argued against my point of why keit would initiate the charges against DH so early in the game, when there was no suspicion pointing towards DH? And why keit would literally shoot the mafia in the foot with that move, considering that, if I was mafia, I would rush up with a, so you say, fail argument to defend DH?

By the way, this:
Since our mafia guys continue to be silent (I guess at this point they have said enough/nothing left to argue),

Is just silly. Some of those who you accused have lives and are perhaps living on the West Coast where we're actually at school during your posts.

And while Jugan did go overboard, I would say that he did raise some valid points. Maybe not the douche part, but this:

Some one can't find a translation for a quote in a foreign language and that's supposed to mean something? Clues aren't based on posts genius.

And you claim DrH is defending Hyperbola when he talks about the apple and implicates Keit when he doesn't even MENTION hyperbola?

I feel, has some merit.


Nice try at the last minute man, was worth the try! GG.

Personally, I'm thinking tredmasta is more likely that Hyperbola... although Hyperbola is also up there, but I think for tonight double lynch it will be keit and tredmasta for me.

Why? tredmasta fits a solid clue about the runner... and he's had some suspicious votes/posts. He fits the description too much for me to ignore. '

Hyperbola can't be tagged to any clues as of yet, but I agree with his odd posting, so tommorow I'd advocate lynching him.

For me anyways, DrH's constant attacks on you have shoved you off the list for the time being. There are much better suspects.

CynanMachae was already in bed at this point, having returned home much earlier. However, he was having a hard time falling asleep due to the shouts and clamor of the rest of the townspeople rejoicing in the streets. He stared at his alarm clock and waited with mounting impatience as people gradually stopped shouting outside his house but still kept banging and thumping. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore. He stomped down to his front door and threw it open, yelling, "Go home, you troublemakers!" Instead of the crowd of people he'd expected, however, he saw only a single man on his front lawn, holding a hammer. CynanMachae peered around in puzzlement but didn't notice anything that looked like it had been beaten in. Nevertheless, he glared at the man and took a step outside, preparing to chastise him for making all that noise and keeping him awake. To his surprise, the front step crumbled under his foot and he tumbled forward, his forehead landing squarely on a sharp rock that had been placed there all too conveniently on the ground. As CynanMachae died, he heard the man snicker to himself before he turned and left.


This suggests smarts, planning, anticipation to me. Something like this:

The board is a mirror of the mind of the players as the moments pass. When a master studies the record of a game he can tell at what point greed overtook the pupil, when he became tired, when he fell into stupidity, and when the maid came by with tea.


Weaker than I would like, but we should be getting more clues by the time we get to him.

In the meantime, keit is still my no.1 for lynching. I do think treadmaster is very suspect, but no more so than Hyperbola. The plodding could fit both, but the frightening appearance and the strangling point to Hyperbola in my mind. Both have shady posting histories, much more so than Nikoner.

Alright, so I took a closer look at the clues and changed my mind.

First killer is [r]Hyperbola[/r]

The "big burden" that he's carrying is a reference to the shellfish in his profile pic... and likewise, he strangles JohannesH just like the shellfish looks like he's strangling the crab.

However, I still suspect tredmasta for the same reasons I've stated. But in my mind they're both confirmed mafia and it doesn't matter the order they die. I'll vote for whoever seems likely to go down.

Dual attempt: clarification and affirmation of what citi.zen has said (to bump it here) as well as a few updated things:

The case against Hyperbola.

A first day clue, but as we've seen most of those were pretty vague.

Maybe. The apple reference is what stood out to me the most, so I think I just really want to connect that to something. Although it definitely is, something.

The StimiLant/Tea connection seems the most solid to me though.


As we know that DoctorHelvetica is mafia, the fact that he accepts but shoves aside the case against Hyperbola is suspicious.

Hyperbola's "clue" analysis:

On January 21 2010 03:34 Hyperbola wrote:
Hello everybody, how's it going. As there are no real viable suspects to lynch yet I have decided to compile some clues I was thinking about:

1. “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.”

This clue in particular caught my eye. Something of importance along the lines of an apple, forbidden fruit maybe? Anyways... possible suspects:

skronch - Really no other reason than his name. As he does not have any text or images in his profile, his name is the only thing that could be used as a clue. And “skronch” sounds like the sound one makes when eating the apple.

The_Master – A little weak but blocking a knife attack with a fruit and then killing the assailant with it takes a lot of skill. Besides his name, his quote is: “[CPL]Master on team Prodigies!”



2. “Two newcomers strode inside.”

This one I actually have a firm belief on.

Abenson – His profile text.
+ Show Spoiler +
Hello!
I'm Abenson, an E-/D-/D zerg player who just started playing Starcraft December 2009... I'm actually a noob, so please bear with me if I ask stupid questions or seems inexperienced :D

Note: Iccup ID: xNoobZerg


This seems to suggest that he is very new at the game, a newcomer.



3. “With that, he launched himself forward at the three town leaders, lifting his fists and taunting them with strange barbaric noises.”

citi.zen
– I don't mean to infringe on anyone's campaign but his quote: Aut viam inveniam, aut faciam. Sounds like someone babbling something nonsensical. I wasn't able to find a translation so correct me if I'm wrong.

StimiLant – Again, not much to work with in his profile. Sounds like the person screaming was using stimulants?



4. “The second Mafia member glared at Qatol in disgust and contempt. "Vile, dirty scum," he muttered, shuddering.”

meeple – This one is a bit of long shot
+ Show Spoiler +
A marine approached a hooker
Who had once been quite the looker
(Well before a thousand took her),
"Carnal bride,
On the planet of Tarsonis,
Whores are known to earn a bonus
If they cast protection's onus
Far aside."

That pecuniary offer
From the horny private's coffer
Held appeal. She let him boff her
Very long.
In their frenzied copulation,
She released an infestation
On his dong.

Once their sex was interrupted
With his manmeat thus corrupted,
Sunken colonies erupted
At its base.
The marine observed his error
With a look of pallid terror
On his face.

Having waived his sole protection,
He was led by his erection
By the Swarm, in the direction
Of his watch.
Twenty soldiers of his nation
Perished in precise formation
To the massive conflagration
From his crotch.

Should you seek a lady's graces,
Plasma-shield your nether places,
Sheath your psi blades, cast a stasis
On your probe.
If you can't resist temptation,
Just resort to masturbation.
Don't disrobe.

The poem in the profile briefly focuses on an old prostitute that infested the marine's cock.

That's all I got. I think we should really come to a decision soon though.


Skronch flipped green.
Abenson flipped green.
Flimsy connections for The_Master, citi.zen (confirmed green), and meeple (clue convicting meeple is cluechecked and tied to DrH).
StimiLant: tea is just as important or more important than the screaming, but this part of the analysis is later vouched for by mafia DrH.

And this is not as strong of a correlation?
makes me think it is unlikely that both flamewheel and kane are both mafia. Why would flamewheel seemingly throw another mafia under the bus (assuming he is mafia for this point, not accusing) to attempt to save himself. I also read through the clues again, unfortunately I got nothing. I think it would be wise for everyone to take at least one more crack at the clues to spur some more discussion before decisions are made.

You know there's such a thing as reverse logic? Throwing another mafia to the wolves will make people doubt he is guilty.
This last clue against kane is pretty strong. I'd say, for now, he actually is our best target.


kane flipped green. Feel free to continue analyzing me. A mafia member WAS thrown to the wolves, but much much later and only after a combined effort to bring him down from the town.

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!


Hyperbola's picture is that of a squid with a shell eating a crab. The mouth is open, and tentacles (scarves) are strangling. Water. Nice catch, Ng5.

The best defense is... oh wait, this isn't even defense:

Hyperbola

1. Clue link: please review his profile pictures, then read this:

Walking home from the post-election celebration, a slightly tipsy blue_arrow was whistling tunelessly to himself in the violet dusk. After a block or two, he noticed the sound of someone shuffling behind him. Though unnerved, he tried to shrug it off and started walking faster. The shuffling did not speed up in response, and blue_arrow felt safer the further he walked from his follower. As the streetlamps flickered on one by one, he took a quick peek behind him. One glimpse of his follower's frightening appearance was enough to clear his mind and convince him the Mafia was after him. Blue_arrow took off running. Sweat dripped off his forehead and fear spurred him to achieve near-Olympian speed as he sprinted for his life. He flew past several blocks in a few minutes, but always he could hear his attacker plodding relentlessly after him. Finally, the exhausted blue_arrow slumped against a lamppost, so worn out by his headlong dash that he couldn't move another step. All he could do was watch with mounting dread as his entirely unperturbed attacker caught up to blue_arrow and strangled him to death.

Right, my mistake there are other stronger clues. Lets move it along then, since we next have Hyperbola's only "real" attempt to solev the mystery. Check out the high powered arguments he finds, many days into the game:

1. “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.”

This clue in particular caught my eye. Something of importance along the lines of an apple, forbidden fruit maybe? Anyways... possible suspects:

skronch - Really no other reason than his name. As he does not have any text or images in his profile, his name is the only thing that could be used as a clue. And “skronch” sounds like the sound one makes when eating the apple.

The_Master – A little weak but blocking a knife attack with a fruit and then killing the assailant with it takes a lot of skill. Besides his name, his quote is: “[CPL]Master on team Prodigies!”



2. “Two newcomers strode inside.”

This one I actually have a firm belief on.

Abenson – His profile text.

Hello!
I'm Abenson, an E-/D-/D zerg player who just started playing Starcraft December 2009... I'm actually a noob, so please bear with me if I ask stupid questions or seems inexperienced :D

Note: Iccup ID: xNoobZerg


This seems to suggest that he is very new at the game, a newcomer.



3. “With that, he launched himself forward at the three town leaders, lifting his fists and taunting them with strange barbaric noises.”

citi.zen
– I don't mean to infringe on anyone's campaign but his quote: Aut viam inveniam, aut faciam. Sounds like someone babbling something nonsensical. I wasn't able to find a translation so correct me if I'm wrong.

StimiLant – Again, not much to work with in his profile. Sounds like the person screaming was using stimulants?



4. “The second Mafia member glared at Qatol in disgust and contempt. "Vile, dirty scum," he muttered, shuddering.”

meeple – This one is a bit of long shot
+ Show Spoiler +
A marine approached a hooker
Who had once been quite the looker
(Well before a thousand took her),
"Carnal bride,
On the planet of Tarsonis,
Whores are known to earn a bonus
If they cast protection's onus
Far aside."

That pecuniary offer
From the horny private's coffer
Held appeal. She let him boff her
Very long.
In their frenzied copulation,
She released an infestation
On his dong.

Once their sex was interrupted
With his manmeat thus corrupted,
Sunken colonies erupted
At its base.
The marine observed his error
With a look of pallid terror
On his face.

Having waived his sole protection,
He was led by his erection
By the Swarm, in the direction
Of his watch.
Twenty soldiers of his nation
Perished in precise formation
To the massive conflagration
From his crotch.

Should you seek a lady's graces,
Plasma-shield your nether places,
Sheath your psi blades, cast a stasis
On your probe.
If you can't resist temptation,
Just resort to masturbation.
Don't disrobe.

The poem in the profile briefly focuses on an old prostitute that infested the marine's cock.

That's all I got. I think we should really come to a decision soon though.


Poor guy can't even find a translation of my profile quote! I am sure he tried to google it, read previous posts trying to find anything about it and so on, he must have tried to click that damn wikipedia page explaining the quote. Unfortunately he came up with NOTHING, so naturally the whole thing sounds nonsensical and barbaric. Good solid find, worth posting together with the other gems!

Now, at the time, I read his big post and scratched my head. Guess who tried to 'splain it to me:

I think we need to go more into outter space. I accuse myself ... let's see uh... there number of victims last night was 3, and there are 3 numbers in my name. That's concrete proof that I'm mafia, lynch me up boys.

But yeah, whoever the mayor ends up being doesn't have much to go on for the first lynching. Hopefully day 2 will have some nice clues for us.


lol. well, the mayor will go with whoever fits best. I'd say that is hobbes at this point, maybe stimilant.

Waw, going back over your post Hyperbola I find nothing useful there! You leave out important things others already said and seem to go on these side-lines without any apparent reason. I mean, after all the conversations we've had, for bad guy one you offer this:

skronch - Really no other reason than his name. As he does not have any text or images in his profile, his name is the only thing that could be used as a clue. And “skronch” sounds like the sound one makes when eating the apple.

I am puzzled.


I think he's trying to add new speculation rather than pontificate on old ones. We've already said about everything there is to say about hobbes/ghote/etc. at this point, so it's good that he is avoiding redundancy.


Thanks DrH, that explanation really helped. Nail Hyperbola, that is.

If this is not enough read his posts after page 74... see how he reacts.

Byebye Hyperbola, you are getting 2x lynched with keit, right after Mystlord is getting vigilante hit.



I'm not the mafia, mmk?


Nothing more to add to that?

And finally, the new night's clue:
Also on his way home from the Thirsty Pony Pub, JohannesH had reached his apartment building and was climbing the steps in his apartment building. Even though he lived on the sixth floor, he enjoyed the exercise of taking the stairs and hated waiting for the elevator. The exertion cleared the alcoholic fumes from his head and he cheerfully arrived on the sixth floor, anticipating no hangover the next morning. However, all his good cheer vanished when he saw who was waiting for him outside his door. The Mafia member lumbered toward him. JohannesH cried out in terror and ran back toward the stairway, virtually flying down the stairs. With that big burden he's carrying, there's no way he can catch up to me, he thought. As he reached the ground floor, panting from his breakneck escape, he heard an ominous ding! from the elevator. The doors slid open to reveal the Mafia member. His shock and horror froze him in place, and he couldn't react quickly enough as his attacker slid behind JohannesH and strangled him to death.

Bolding done by me.
Once again, strangling. Heavy burden? Think the shell on the squid.


Final thoughts:
Most of this has already been stated. Just filling in the holes here.
Vote Hyperbola off as one of your next candidates for the double.

The game ends soon. Good job town.
