I present, MrBabyHands's Furious Five:
humbug :i think BC first made the connection with a "humbug" being defined as a deceiver/deception. also scrooge = stingy, miser, collector, etc. I think that was very good clue analysis and i think we'd be hard pressed to find a better match.
scooter : the biker clue. it just really sticks out to me. if you've ever had one of those gut feelings that you feel really strongly about. well, this is one for me.
tricode : malongo noticed the repeating theme of "3" in the clues. tricode also made a suspicious post (that malongo also noticed). but his response to the idea that he might be a suspect is what convinced me... see below

I asked tricode what he thought about malongo bringing up his name as a suspect. this was his response:

Since I haven't been able to talk to him for the last two days. I was hoping you guys would help me. I didn't know when to vote until i saw others voting. I knew there was a clue in the morning and I am enjoying the game. Plus everyone said morning should be coming soon or something to that extent and it seemed like it was taking to long. So i was honestly confused.
I am not certain about the clues to much. I don't want to ruin my first game and have people getting mad at me for pointing fingers at people who are innocent and get them killed though I doubt people would listen to me.
If this helps in my defense, Cob knows I am new at this game and can vouch for my claims about being new and my behavior.
But I will admit you are kinda half right about me posting it so I don't look inactive (mind you I still posted cause I wanted answers and help). I want my first game to be as fun as I can make it. I am having fun reading what you guys are saying. I do wish I can help more, but until I learn this game a bit better and understand how the clues are presented, I don't want to be completely inactive where I get blamed like this, but I don't know how I can contribute. I'm sorry about that.

the ol "puppy dog eyes" technique
"i'm new"
"i was hoping someone could help me"
"its my first time, i just want to have fun"
"i dont want people to be mad at me"
this could verywell be his first time. but that doesnt mean he's not red.
i think he presented too many explanations and they were all around a common theme (first timer, new to the game, dont wanna mess up, etc). People do this when they have something to hide. I feel like most innocent new players are more likely to downplay their inexperience so as not to appear as a burden. Tricode did the opposite. I also feel like he's overcompensating for his inactivity, again posting lots of extraneous information (who is cob anyway) and appealing to our emotions he offers a humble apology at the end.
His only defense was "i'm new. sorry about that." And he didnt address the clues at all, even tho they were a main part in his suspicion.
if i wasnt sure he was mafia before, i am certainly more convinced now.
MoC: this suspicion is mostly from the dark archon = bad fighter clue that someone else picked up on. But there are other things that got my attention. His posts dont really seem to add any real value. like they are "empty" posts in which he either agrees or disagrees with someone or is glaringly neutral-- this is indicative of a mafia trying to hide. Also, in the Day 1, the mafia member who "grabbed the gun" with his hands still behind his head. this could indicate psychic abilities (using the mind to grab the gun. Dark Archons are use mind powers). I think these two clues point to the same person. And I think that person is MoC
LeperKhan: look at this clue
When finally he saw there was nothing blocking the far door between him and his assailant he decided to try his luck and shove through the man.
i cant believe i missed this at first. The keyword here is "LUCK." and he's easy to shove too-- like a little person***. AND he was taunting (as leprechauns are known to do). clearly a "leprechaun" is a good fit. or in our case... a "LeperKhan"
***Disclaimer: MrBabyHands does NOT condone the shoving of little people and has only done so under the most dire of circumstances.
