His posts are terrible. No analysis, short, only responds when he needs to. Either bad mafia or bad town.

This game is really confusing.

Very nice analyzis deconduo.

I really am totally confused as to who is mafia. I was not prepared to be alive during an end-game mafia game quite so soon so I will really have to dig in here and try to find compelling arguments for any character at this time. I agree that gryffindor has been playing wierd, if I'm even allowed to say that during my first game. There are arguments for others though and it's alot to take in.

TLDR(WIFOM): Nice posting by the few who are atm. I am really confused, will get back to you on my standpoint in a few hours.

Yes, but he's not the only one. We have two people that posted Role PMs that have obvious errors. Believer did it on purpose, fuffy did not.

I do find gryffindor very scummy, and he would be #3 on my lynch list. Fluffy and Beefy are above him though.

why if you can answer this, do all your messages to town have the same cipher? (sorry cyphers *really* intrigue me)

@why I'm still working on your cypher, if you can choose what it contains then please next time start it with the phrase "I like the town" that should give me enough material to crack it, if you aren't allowed then I understand.

I believe that both of these would qualify as hints. However...

Ay, springes to catch woodcocks! I do now,
Whn the blood burns, how prodigal the soul
Lends the tongue vows. These blazes, daughter,
Giving more light than heat, extinct in both
Even in their promise, as it is a-making,
ou must not take for fre. From this time
Be something scanter of your maiden presence.
Set your entreatments at a higher rate
Than a command to parley. For Lord Hamlet,
Believe o much in him, that he is young,
And with a larger tether may he walk
Than may be given you. In few, Ophlia,
Do not believe his vows; for they are brokers,
Not of that dye which their investments show,
But mere implorators of unholy suts,
Breathin like sanctified and pious bawds,
The better to beguile. This is for all:
I would not, in plain terms, from this time forth
Have you so slander any moment leisure
As to give words or talk with the Lord amlet.
Look to', I charge you. Come your ways.

well, I recognize the passage, its from Hamlet, specifically when Polonius tells Ophelia to stop seeing Hamlet.

As of right now I'm going to consider it as 4 separate puzzles, 1 is the poem, 2 is the unbolded cypher, 3 is the numbers and 4 is the bolded cypher, I am almost certain he is using the same cypher for all his bolded messages, and have been trying to crack it accordingly, I really didn't get very far

So, my preliminary thoughts on this

1.) I am unsure if the fact that it is from hamlet has any relationship with the puzzle, note the fact that there are 3 colors, blue, green and red, corresponding to the roles that may be in the game, there are 13 colored words, 6 red, 4 green and 3 blue, I suspect each word may be linked to a player and serve as a hint to their identity, I'll check to see if any of them are anagrams of names of current people, but I doubt they are. I also think it may be a good idea to consider synonyms of the words and see if they link to any names (e.g. if the querry where in there it could mean ask and that might tie into "ask the pizza guy" if he were still alive). Its also possible that you can arrange the provided words into an understandable sentence, finally it may be a hint towards solving the cypher, although I fail to see how

2.) since this isn't bolded I believe it uses a different cypher, perhaps one that is much easier to crack, I'll give it a whirl

3.) No clue, I'll look for patterns, it may relate to either 1, 2 or 4

4.) This is another cypher code, I think it uses the same code as the previous ones, I may be wrong, so if you do try to solve it consider them independently of each other

EBWOP: a quick google search shows its Act 1 scene 3, which may or may not be of some kind of help

21 lines and 14 numbers so the number of lines in #1 isn't directly connected to the numbers in #3

A breakthrough, if you compare the passage to the original there are some letters missing, those letters say "Key Is eight" going to see how that applies to the cryptogram

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something evil this way comes"

Yes, I've been very inactive, but applying for college, going to school, and everyone being in a different time zone doesn't make this easy. By the time I look at the thread each day, another 2 pages are up, and any analysis I have had already been stated already. And simply restating analysis seems scummy in my eyes, as any mafia would eagerly latch on to anything that incriminates an innocent player, and keep pushing for a lynch using it.

But anyways, I digress; it looks like the write-up was done in a whole new style, but thats just my opinion.

using a sliging cypher 8 spaces to the right you get
"HERRINGS ARE ALWAYS RED CKNXOCC LOPYBO TOKVYECI"
for #2, which seems to refer back to the red text in # 1

2nd half of the message seems to use a different cypher, I'll try sliding 8 in the opposite direction

yep, that was it, it yields "SADNESS BEFORE JEALOUSY"
(wow, sorry for spamming, but I get really excited when I solve puzzles)
