I saw that I had been suspected, but I think overall, the clues point more to flamewheel91. My name is based off of a treadmill, but nothing else in my profile seems to really fit the clues. Well... why exactly do you think flamewheel91 fits better? The only thing incriminating him is the pic in his profile... | ||

Some of the top suspects: kane]deth[: A kane is a musical instrument that looks similar to a cross between a bucket and a top hat, and is played with a mallet. Killer #2 was wearing a rusty bucket and killed his victim with a sledgehammer. Also kane hasn't been posting too much. tredmasta/flamewheel: tredmasta is a reference to a treadmill. flamewheel has a picture of an olympic runner. The killer #1 is discribed as having an relentless plotting pace. Also the victim is described as running at nearly Olympian speed. The plotting pace could refer to the endless cycle of a treadmill or the stamina of an Olympian. keit: Cookie monster profile pic could be the barbaric reference in Day 1, as well, the killer shoves an apple down the throat of his victim, similar to how Cookie monster does with cookies. Again made somewhat more suspicious by keit's lack of posting here. DoctorHeveltica: Killer #2 in Day one was described as very cleanly, making sure to clean up after he had finished, somewhat reminiscent of a Doctor. Although a bigger hint would be the thin blade that could be a reference to a scalpel. Also DrH was one of the 3 people that knew that Bill Murray was a detective. Having said that, Bill wasn't exactly discrete about his actions and this should be considered suspicious but not entirely incriminating. Less clue related suspicions: ghote: Perhaps too bandwagony (if that's a word). Even admitted himself that his vote to lynch kane was just following the popular choice. He has made a couple of arguably suspicious posts of this nature. A couple others but I hesitate to put them here since they don't seem to have a solid basis yet. If I have forgotten anything, or said anything incorrectly feel free to point it out. | ||

The kane]deth[ connection is actually the weakest to me... for right now at least. Its true that the shape of the instrument is strangely similar... but its not really a bucket, nor should be rusty, and there was mention of "a wild animal being set loose in his garage". Something I don't think is a coincedence. My vote would go for either tredmasta or flamewheel91 since both have a fairly strong relation. Personally the description rings too much like trying to outrun a treadmill to me that I would say tredmasta. keit and DrH are both close to the top of my list for different reasons, but they're shakier than the tredmasta link. The cookiemonster theory can't explain the odd appearance of an apple, and DrH has good points when he says that the Mafia could've figured out Bill's blue role without anyone needing to tip them off. As for ghote, I think for now at least, there's nothing too solid linking him, but somewhere on the threat level beneath keit and DrH. | ||

If we're going to focus away from clue-based mafia hunting (since it hasn't done us much good so far), this kind of reasoning is the minimum required. Town members, even those with blue powers, need to post more (and never lie, although it's fine to deny knowledge and post suspicions even when you're not sure), so that mafia can't get by without posting. Then mafia who do post might eventually slip up by posting contradictions or lies that they had to make to keep their identity secret. Since I've asked for people to explain their votes, I might as well start. I came to the thread pretty close to the deadline as I was working all afternoon on other things so it was too late to really be influencing outcomes. But since this is something that's a good ploy for mafia members to use, I'll do my best to get in early in the next discussion. I ended up stacking an unnecessary extra vote on kane just to see if the olympic clue really was that straightforward, but it wasn't. I do think we should focus away from clue-based mafia hunting for now. I don't think the clues even pointed towards kane... it was kinda a stretch from the beginning and I don't know why people went for it. I've already explained why I voted for tredmasta. I wouldn't say we should back away from clues, but think more objectively when considering them. A kane is a fairly obscure musical instrument... and if you ask someone on the street "what does this look like" I assure you they will almost never say "bucket" | ||

It is all a moot point if Zona is right about us reading the clues wrong. I'd have to disagree, the tredmasta/flamewheel link was way stronger imo... The chances of kane actually referring to that hat-like instrument were low, but also it doesn't look like a bucket. I know I've posted a picture and argued in favour of this case before. But if you look at it objectively, and you're not trying to see a bucket, then its not there, whereas running/olympic runner/treadmill can't be imagined. | ||

You can't always just follow the crowd and use that as a crutch. Eventually you'll need to form your own opinion and defend it. | ||

If the detectives (I hope we have 1 left at least) didn't use the role check to find a person to trust tactic ... they could do that. It would also be nice if they could use their clue checking abilities to find out incognito's clue writing style. From the beginning they should have been checking people and expanding their network, hopefully the detectives have been doing that. | ||

Not that I distrust Zona... but I would stick to people we know are trustworthy. Zona seems really objective, but thats not entirely a reason to trust him just yet. Citi.zen can probably be trusted at the moment. | ||

Just playing a riddle solving game out of the clues would be retarded. Cmon man, namecalling? We're not in 5th grade. Calm down. | ||

And in the end, it isnt right now so crucial as who we lynch right now since lets face it - it far more likely to hit a townie at this point. What matters is getting discussion with substance, to pile clues for later. I would mostly agree with this. Some people would argue that we lynched kane]deth[ off clues, but I think it was mainly because he didn't protest at all. Regardless, what are people's ideas concerning the double lynches? Should we only use it if we're absolutely sure of two mafia? | ||
