actually I found a character that is much better than my current choice for a Mafia game, is it ok if I change it?

And puzzles can come in a variety of ways. Anagrams? Or Math and Logic? They can also be situational. But I think once the type of puzzle is discerned we can probably apply that to all the day and night posts.

I disagree, I think that thinking in patterns like that is going to weaken our analytical ability, we should try to keep an open mind about each set of clues, that way it will be harder to miss anything.

Gahh, this is going to take a fair amount of reading as I am clueless on who half these people are.

ah, but I've seen school days, so that wouldn't be a problem at all.

Also, I'm going to suggest that we consider taking a closer look at the pictures they may yield something as well

Just a random thought as I read through the different Wikipedia articles, Kenpachi Zaraki is a ship captain (Naval operations?), also IIRC the whole of Bleach had something to do with pirates (I haven't read the manga or seen the anime so if I am mistaken about that then forgive me)

I don't think Bleach has to do with pirates. Thinking of One Piece? I'm not too entirely knowledgeable on anime haha. Will see what I can come up with from clues.

Thats probably, it my bad then about Bleach having anything to do with pirates. When I read Kenpachi was a captian I assumed it had something to do with ships as in my mind the two are linked (this is what happens when sleep deprivation combines with trying to read 10 wikipedia articles and putting the articles together with the day post)

EBWOP: I just realized that the acronym of "Naval Intervention Ends Pirates Standoff" is an anagram of penis (sorry I was looking to see if there was any relevance to it all being capitalized)

Damnit, I thought voting ended at 11 EST, not KST, apologies for missing the vote. As you may already know I was out most of yesterday and today due to technical problems, I'll be much more active starting tonight.

Anyway we got mafia, Woot!

For tonight I think we should discuss medic protection, who needs to be protected?

The fact that you know this is impressive in and of itself, I'm working on figuring out the pictures, I really like this clue, I'm sure it will be satisfactory when we figure it out. For now I'm going to try to connect the other pictures to Dr.H's lead, but I'll see if I have any other connections pop up.

A passing thought, the pictures could be a kind of puzzle with each picture standing for a word and then 4 out of the 5 words making a relevant phrase, I've been trying some permutations but haven't come up with anything yet.

I think I may have found something from the Raiden Wikipedia article "Raiden released his godly essence, resulting in an enormous explosion." if that isn't "dropping the bomb then I don't know what is.

Tying him to the hocus pocus, teleporting and controlling thunder certainly count as magic, at least IMO.

Associating with the snow, well Raiden is a elemental god (god of wind and rain, I dont think snow is that much of a stretch)

I'm looking for a fourth tie in now (i really believe there has to be one) , but I thought I might as well direct peoples attention at my findings in the meantime.

DoctorHelvetica may have a point with the fact that almost anything can be tied to him if we stray too far away from just the main Wikipedia page related to Thom Yorke, I mean look at it this way if you look at the album In Rainbows you get "15 step" which could easily be related to the tracks in the snow, bodysnatchers which can be tied to the Lego aliens, House of cards, which was already mentioned. A musics score which can obviously be related to a band.

But to get any of these you have to go and research their albums which I think is too much of a stretch, I suspect that the clues are drawn straight from the Wikipedia pages. Foe this reason the clues pointing at Cube convince me much more.

I just think CubEdln is playing somewhat scummy and as we haven't got anything better to go on, I'm going to vote for him. If he flips green, well then, we know what course of action we should follow.

That's your call. I'm ready to start the thread analysis and I place more faith in that than these clues.

Please do start with post analysis, I really want to see what you come up with, unfortunately I'm terrible at it, but I'll do my best to make a competent analysis if it comes down to it.

However for now I still think that CubE should be hung just because of the information he will provide, along with the scumminess of his posts. Although the clue connection is kind of tenuous its the best we could come up with. (I do think he will probably flip red, in which case I don't think Dr.H is scum)

I find the picture mildly amusing, I'm also rather flabbergasted, I really thought CubE was scum and that we had the game in the bag. T.T

Dammit Dr.H I was expecting some kind of brilliant interpretation of the clues that clearly pointed out the entirety of the mafia team

I don't like this puzzle, it makes my head hurt

So really the way to do this is arrange it so that the people you believe are town hold the greatest number of letters right?

I like darmousseh's plan, I like it alot, unless someone comes up with something absolutely brilliant then I believe we now stand a strong chance of winning. I'm willing to go with

I propose we go with the plan as already formatted, I mean if there's anyone I believe to be town its node and darmousseh, sorry Dr.H but I'm not sure that you are town.

I dont believe that deviating from the plan is a good idea right now, I'm going to go with lynching Chaoser and if he flips town then lynching Darmousseh, sorry Dr.H but as you said earlier its a bad idea to deviate from the plan

That's a great point. His plan actually sets it up to save node by killing me first followed by killing you. That gives him and node the greatest chance of surviving.

Or you are mafia and this is your game winning plan, lynch chaoser and node and assure your victory. Of course I'm pretty sure that neither you nor Node are mafia, which means chaoser is, but if he flips green...

Damnit! I was sure he was scum, I guess we are lynching darmousseh then?

I can agree to that, he seems far more likely to be mafia than Node, at this point we have to get it right or its pretty much gg

The clues seem compelling to me, also the only success we've had in finding scum was by clue analysis so I might as well put faith in it, of course if its wrong it means Darmousseh is mafia (and probably Dr.H as well) [so if your analysis is wrong we probably lose] The thing that makes me trust Dr.H is the fact that he defended chaoser when the rest of us went to hang him

sorry Kenpachi, you kind of gave away the fact that you were the veteran earlier in the thread, otherwise we would have hit you.

Day 3 I was convinced that the puzzle would screw us over, when Node was picked I was overjoyed although I really expected town to stick to the plan, which would have made it much harder to win.

And yeah I suck as mafia, I really need to learn how to play well as a red
