So keep a look out for anyone with any allusions to vigilante justice, religious themes, or anything relating to the movie connected to them.

Pennies in the eyes (or more accurately on the eyelids) is an old superstition (tradition/myth, maybe? Whatever...) The purpose is to pay the fare/ferryman to cross the river Styx. Why the ferryman does that much work for two cents, I'll never know.

Or maybe I'll know when I die and someone is nice enough to leave two cents on my eyes.

But anyway, don't forget about the reference to COPPERHEAD!!!!

All of this based off things I found in their profiles.

Incredibly Weak Leads
Elemenope
+ Show Spoiler +

Has a picture of a Crystal Maiden from DotA and some other hero that I'm not familiar with (I don't play dota) however, according to dotastrategy.com the crystal maiden was "Trained by a renegade wizard deep in the heart of Winterspring." Which vaguely relates to the vigilantism that I noted may be a clue in my earlier post.

Plexa
+ Show Spoiler +

His quote "Spirit will set you free" when googled returns a either Christian scriptures, lyrics to a gospel song, or...Plexa's posts. Either way, this relates a bit to the point I made about the pennies in the eyes in my previous post.

Shikyo
+ Show Spoiler +

His profile seems to focus a lot on metal (music), which can vaguely relate to the mass of scrap metal (tanks on bridge) left behind.

Chezinu
+ Show Spoiler +

His profile has a small blurb about a "Brown state". Mud=Brown?

Coltrane
+ Show Spoiler +

Quote in profile says "Why is the rum gone" which could reference the vodka/tavern.

Very doubtful lead
Scamp
+ Show Spoiler +

Picture of a cat lying in a gutter, which can collect mud. Maybe relates to the redtooth's corpse in the mud.

Which is a stronger lead, by the way? The incredibly weak leads, or my own personal very doubtful lead?

How do you sort through the liars? You play the game, silly!

Maybe it's not the optimal plan but I think it's something worth considering, if anything just for the possibility of it happening which puts the Ukranians on edge. I also think the NKVD can buy himself way more than just 1 or 2 days time, depending on when he's checked by a Ukranian. Remember that the Ukranians are going to be spending lots of time role-checking (unless some of them are really trigger-happy) and the NKVD agent doesn't even have to lie about the results of his role-checks when asked, assuming he's been role-checking.

Well that situation of the two NKVD agents targeting each other would be unfortunate but unlikely.

Besides, the point isn't to take out one Ukranian. The point is to infiltrate a group in order to take out a bunch of them. I don't think I'd want to start hitting people if I were in a Ukranian group of two or three, so getting "confirmed" by killing someone wouldn't be a problem until later.

Ace your scenerio is if an NKVD agent finds a Ukranian. But we're talking about the NKVD posing as a Ukranian. Also, what about counter-proof? I like how I have all the power in that argument and I don't have to prove myself at all.

But wait, are we all agreed now that every NKVD should list themselves as Ukranian? I think it sounds that way.

whats the argument. Prove it.

Um...I thought the proof is that any NKVD agent listing himself as anything else isn't really helpful.

I did indeed forget that the NKVDs could pose as veterans. I think it's a good option too.

But I also think that having all of the NKVDs posing as veterans will make it that much easier for the Ukranians to organize.

Well this is nice. It looks like L and Ace are pretty much getting along.

Ace if you think (and I'm not sure, but it seems that way) that if a Ukranian RCs a vet that they're just going to plug away at that person then wouldn't a NKVD increase his survival time by posing as a Ukranian instead?
