I looked at everyones profile and there don't appear to be any references to monkeys, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

In fact, I don't really see anything related.

This part seems like it might be a clue:

"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."

Does anyones profile/sig/quote have a reference to apples? Also, the apple being in the throat could be a reference to a pig, since they are cooked with apples stuffed down their throat.

I doubt that's it, but nothing else really caught my eye.

Is anyone a huge reach fan? lol\

Since it explicitly says "highly caffeinated black tea", and dreamflower said that clues can be referring to player names as well, could this be pointing to StimiLant?

that's actually not such a bad theory.

I'd suspect StimiLant over Phrujbaz, since the stimulating nature of the tea is accented by "highly caffeinated"

but it still seems like a tad too little to lynch someone off, I guess if we can't find anything better we should go with that.

The fridge is also mentioned a few times, maybe it's a clue?

The cookie monster isn't a monkey

Oh yeah and the stimulant to caffiene connection is a very strong one, but the problem i see with it is that stimulant is very difficult to connect with the apple+monkey+fridge killer or the thin blade killer

well different clues probably refer to different mafia members

there are 7 right? so im sure all the clues don't point to just one person. I'd be hard pressed to find 7 clues in there, maybe 3 or so?

that sounds about right

so here's about everything that sticks out to me:

The Tea
The Apple
The Knife
The Fridge

Also, this segment? "his killer carefully dragged the body into the closet, making sure to clean up the pool of blood on the floor."

Although I'm not sure what that could refer to, it stood out to me.

Just noting, ghote has beatles lyrics in his profile. The Beatles started Apple Records which is one of the bigger record labels in the U.K.

It's something.

Ng5 as a chess movement could suggest calculating/cold

If that would put Ng5 under suspicion, then what about ghote? I google the name after seeing the beatle lyrics in his profile (possible reference to Apple) and Ghote is a detective in a series of novels. A detective would have that sort of calculating/cold nature, and there is also the possibility of the apple reference pointing to him.

I think those types of classifications are too vague... Hyperbola is a math term, so that could be construed as cold and calculating as well.

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.

Interesting idea that cold/calculating could apply to Ghote also. Wouldn't the apple clue apply to the other murderer though?

oh wow what was I thinking

the apple connection is a bit less far-fetched, so if i were to suspect ghote of being mafia, it would be over that and not his name being an obscure reference to an indian mystery novel series

Is the link between apples/cleanliness to Jayme's profile too far fetched?

I think so.

Perhaps we should worry about the election business before trying to determine mafia from the first clues. Even the ones that seem most solid to me (ghote/apples and stimilant/tea) are a bit far fetched.

upon googling the names of various players

heres some alternate meanings i found:

zona (another term for the disease known as 'the shingles'
abenson (phillipines appliance store, possibly related to the fridge?)
