These clues are painful to read, thanks chuiu!

Nevermore? Dota reference perhaps?
|
That would be way to simple of a clue wouldnt it?
|
The names for these suspects Anonymous Man Individual (nefarious) Neighbour
Guess, we are trying to tie people to these names correct?
My impression is Anonomyous is not ace as well, he is anything but that
As for Neighbour, his bit ends with the words Nevermore This reminds me of two things, Dota which i doubt would be that obvious and Edgar allen poe's The Raven
Who likes poe or is linked to a bird

analyzing this now, but dear god, my eyes are bleeding

I'm sure you could, but you'd be throwing me offf hahaha
I just hope that Chuiu is being as sly as ever with his clues, ie not glaringingly obvious Letter references to names

Neighbour seems to me to have a reference (atm) to Poe's the raven also could be related to someone of power due to references of nukes and newbied
Also read the other clues, They look poem formatish to me in a way also to make things as i see them
Anonymous's clues stress towards movement in general, going from slow to fast to stop
Man's clues reference alot of things towards stealth and violence
individual clues stress towards intelligence and possibly arrogance or short tempered?

as a note for people who are going to be analyzing this, the writing method used is known as Alliteration, which is a form of constrained writing.
This method is one of many used highly in poetry

This method is one of many used highly in poetry We all must be 13 and never used writing styles before... we're aware of this, but it wasn't the direct motive. Check Chezinu's post. I will analyze when I get to work.
Man, not everyone has english as a first language here so this may not be something they know off hand? Untop of that, I can honestly say i haven't had to write in Alliteration in years, so its not exactly the first thing necessarily that would come to ones mind.

His user name is BloodyC0bbler, perhaps "man murderously mutilated Alventenie monstrously" is a reference to that.
Also another phrase in the "Man" description: "as man made most merrily memories the milestone materializing". CB's quote says "Quote Sweet Water and Light Laughter" , maybe its connected, the merrily and laughter, as those two usually accompany each other. Also "Alventenie mindlessly massaged" perhaps he was in the bathtub, so "Sweet water" is linked to that.
As fun as it would be to be mafia this game, sadly I didnt get the card. To help you understand my name
Bloodyc0bbler is a sn ive used for ages which is a reference to a character from DnD's Ravenloft universe, named bloody cobbler. He is a character who's purpose is to find people who have strayed from their path in life, and help set them back on it in exchange for the soles on their feet.
Sweet water and light laughter is also from DnD, it's way of saying "till we meet again" basically, as in have good times till we meet again.

as could you, or every other player here, I merely observed that due to the nature of my name, for your reasons the connection is slim.

There also other minor flaws in it that would make it difficult (like DTs using up checks on townies instead of suspects, the question of trust, etc...).
The plan isn't bad PER SE, but needs modifications. Also, there are alternatives, like if a DT can pinpoint 3 or more mafia they come out and share their findings. We still have 2 detectives left, so that would be 6 dead mafia, add Ace, and we can cope with 3 more on our own.
Also, about the alliterative clues: I highly doubt that the words appearing in the clues area are in fact meaningful by themselves, and what makes me think that, is simply the fact that Chuiu wouldn't want this lot of extra work for himself for no apparent reason. I'm inclined to think that the alliterations have more of a role in it, and it might not be the first letters of a person's name, but maybe the last ones, or just the person with most of those letters in it, or the first letter of their first posts, I dunno...
Like I said, I'm not that good with clues interpretation myself, but MTF's interpretations seem a bit far-fetched. Taking me as an example, I could easily be connected to the "man" clue due to my profile picture, or the "nefarious" as a mynock is a malicious being, etc... Every word in those clues is so strange and specific by itself, that it could be interpreted as a clue. That is, because Chuiu had his work cut out already, trying to limit himself to certain letters.
Im inclined to agree with you that the alliterations are more important for me i took it as a link to the general arts in general, ie music, poetry, music, acting. Last night before i hit the sac i did a quick scan of the profiles and the like of everyone in the game and came across this.
"All the sounds of the Earth are like music" - Oscar Hammerfeld III from Infundibulum's profile, google the quote and you find out that he meant to quote Oscar Hammerstein II who was a writer, producer and director of musicals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Hammerstein_II
As such, he is a suspect for me at the moment
Infundibulum – reference to Oscar Hammerstein II

How does me being a potential dessert be a strong connection? the last meal clue from day 1 already links to like 4-5 people, adding me to it makes it picking between a bunch of people who due to the alliteration could link to everyone on it. I do appreciate the looking into clues, but its more fruitful looking somewhere that will get you a mafia.
I'm off to work for 9 hours, be back later tonight to continue this.

Scorch as much as i want to have active vigi's, without a sure fire kill, it would be a waste of our hits, if we had some guarenteed mafia hits, i would say let loose no holds barred. Also you should have added in your list as a option to be "kill one (midnight?)

Holy shite, good going vig's
