[No Clue Area]
With the town on a recent Mafia killing streak there was much anticipation about tonights lynch. Faronel was hoisted up onto the gallows as the crowd cheered below. Without delay, the floor gave way and the noose tightened. Faronel convulsed for a bit, then drifted off into eternal sleep. The sun shone strongly, and showed no sign of going away.
Sunny is in effect until the next lynch.
If you have an ability to be activated during the night (Assassin, Angel, Mafia) please PM me to activate it

hmmm, we suck at this don't we? Bockit better be mafia now. :/
|
yeah, I guess we should have been more suspicious when things were so unanimous and our other top suspect went along with it -__-
|
I really suck at this clues thingy.
|
Man, even though I had some last second doubts about Faronel, I was pretty sure we were right. My skills this game have been lacking (understatement).
I'm writing up a long analysis of the clues in the Day posts, i.e. which mafias are alive/dead and what clues appear to point to whom. It'll be up in a few hours, cause I gotta do some errands and stuff first.

The sword from Day 5 could link to the following from GoodWill's profile:
"One, who does not have command over many words must find words that can be used like daggers or swords to swing in the face of the unknowing person who is thought of being an enemy."
I'll have to look over his voting again, I know he was the second vote for BC at one point. He also ended up as the first vote for ecomania (on Day 4). When Truthbringer was up 12-11 he voted Truthbringer so that doesn't look bad, though he couldn't have made ydg die.
Also note that a knife was used in an earlier day.
Day 4:
"ydg was confident in his ability to defend himself and as such had gone for his daily midnight stroll. On the home stretch he came across a rather tall man wandering about aimlessly. Confused, he approached the man and quickly realised that the man had no idea that he was even there. “Hey, what are you doing out this late?” inquired ydg. The man drew a knife and lunged aimlessly at ydg, missing terribly. “Hey what’s with the hostility?!” exclaimed ydg as he quickly put together the pieces. “You’re... Mafia!!”"
Ydg sounds like an "unknowing person" getting slashed at with a dagger. Also notice ydg keeps asking questions but the mafia doesn't / can't say anything in response. Contrast with Mr Julia who talks, for example.
Could be chaoser if he's a ninja, since he's begging for clue analysis.
Sometimes swords are used and aren't clues (the theme is supposed to be ancient although guns have been used and there are factories so I guess Plexa doesn't care lol). I think I used a sword in my game a few times without meaning it as a clue and I know in one game some game admin kept using swords without realizing it or meaning it as a clue and someone innocent died because of that.
However, Lenwe could also link to the not talking clue that links better to goodwill. Lenwe has a bad voting record as Lucaswoj explained (of course lucaswoj said we [pyrrhuloxia and infundibulum] had terrible records too :/), but look at this post:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=96429¤tpage=55#1106
I dunno what to think about that. It's like he got some sort of PM telling him to say something so he blindly followed it without reading up on the thread first to make sense. Or maybe he's trying to fake having been in favor of motbob's death or something (he didn't vote).
Also, we still have that flying clue for Falcynn and if you load up the whole thread with the "all" option and ctrl-f his name to look at all his posts, you'll see that pretty much every clue of his is suspicious. He wants snow instead of fog, says sorry for being inactive without doing anything productive afterward (see ecomania), he says he is prone to bandwagoning and that's why he bandwagoned on to bc and ydg, says he hopes to be lynched because he's useless to town, etc. We need people to be more active than ever but since ecomania's death, all he's done is say "yay" when ecomania died and "well... shit" when Faronel died (posting pure reactions like that usually means noob mafia).
BC figured if Storrzerg was mafia he'd be a zerg. I'm pretty sure JeeJee
was killed by a zerg. The "scraping sound" in the airvent makes me think
of a zergling, but what really looks suspicious to me is this:
"The Mafioso stared at him with dagger eyes and rushed at him. JeeJee
evaded the frontal rush but as a result was gored in the back."
Zerglings have sufficiently dagger-like eyes:
http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcast/_images/episode1/zerg.jpg
Zerglings rush, we all know that.
Zerglings can gore with those big arm spikes or those tusks from any
direction (front or back).
(or those things behind their knees, or their tails, or nearly any part of
their body lol)
Also, doesn't it seem like a zerg reference how JeeJee defeats the frontal
assault but is defeated by his opponent maneuvering behind him (flanking
him) and then killing him?
Oh one more thing, Foolishness is in a basement. I know when I've made
clues in the past, I've often had death scenes underground when the killer
is related to zerg to allude to the burrow ability.
However, storrzerg's voting record is very innocent looking, so I wouldn't put storrzerg high on the priority list.
|
Pretty unorganized because I put together the highlights from various PMs but yeah.
|
Also, the humming thing could either be ilovekt's profile pic or maybe infundibulum's. I linked some clue and behavior stuff to ilovekt earlier but the clue stuff was mostly Mr Julia stuff before I thought about the Phantom of the Opera.
|
other stuff that might be helpful if I die...
Falcynn pmed me for the first time today to ask if I thought Scaramanga was really the assassin or not.
That's about all I can think of actually. I would say goodwill should be the next target.
|
Notice goodwill hasn't posted in this thread the entire game, yet hasn't missed a vote.
|
I wont do it because time is short (day post coming) but imo the remaining townies should be doing the opposite clue analysis: Since there are so few players just go one by one at each profile, write down the main ideas (ala BloodyC0bbler) and THEN look at the days posts trying to match. That, or Plexa is just fucking around with the clues. Note the clues for death mafia obviously.

Ugh, I closed the window that had everythign written in it. ARGH.
I guess I'll just try to summarize who's who, I don't want to type everything again.
There are 3 very distinct mafia characters:
-Mr Julia
-Bomb Mafia
-Lanky Mafia
=========
Lanky mafia appears by name in Day 1, 2, *possibly* days 3 and 4. Important about him is that he is "well aware" of his surroundings and perceptive. In Day 4 he would be the mafia citing scripture while the other (ecomania) ties a bomb to inertinept. In Day 3 he would be the guy that paralyzes So no fek. I don't think he is in Day 5. There's gotta be a fit to him but I'm just not sure who. One thing I noticed about this guy is that he never kills anyone. He MIGHT have killed Plexa in Day 1, but if we assume he did not then lanky mafia has not actually killed anyone himself this game.
Mr. Julia. There's been a lot of deliberation on him already in the thread, so I won't repeat it all. Key traits: reactive skin - reacts to flame (fire) and fog (moisture). Surgeries, key timing of kills. Clue-wise, I still think the best fits for him are Bockit, Chezinu, and to a lesser extent iLoveKT.
Bomb mafia I am 90% certain was Ecomania. The curious thing is that he appeared in Day 1, 2, 3, and 4! This led me to question whether there might be two bomb mafias: one who kills people by tying bombs to them, and one who blows things up to knock them over (the tree, the pillar). For now, though, I think they're the same person.
This passage clearly links bomb mafia to ecomania, in Day 3:
As he was running, Caller heard the laughter again, but more clearer. He looked up into the trees and a curiously clothed man glided down from the tree, but stumbled on the landing and fell over. To Callers’s surprise he burst out laughing. Not willing to take a chance, Caller backed away but his leg got caught in a trap and was hoisted into the air helpless. The Mafioso stood up walked over to Caller and tied his hands up with a bomb. Standing just outside of the blastzone, the Mafioso and Caller stared into each other’s eyes as Caller’s death was literally counting down. The blast destroyed Caller.
This passage in Day 4 is motbob:
The streets were barren as the Mafia had struck fear into the heart of all of the residents of Liquiville. With essentially all residents sheltering in their homes tonight the Mafia were roaming the streets to pick off any stragglers or those ignorant of the enormous power that the Mafia wielded. ydg was confident in his ability to defend himself and as such had gone for his daily midnight stroll. On the home stretch he came across a rather tall man wandering about aimlessly. Confused, he approached the man and quickly realised that the man had no idea that he was even there. “Hey, what are you doing out this late?” inquired ydg. The man drew a knife and lunged aimlessly at ydg, missing terribly. “Hey what’s with the hostility?!” exclaimed ydg as he quickly put together the pieces. “You’re... Mafia!!” and with that remark ydg went to punch the man in the gut. The man looked unfazed and lashed around with his knife attempting to stab ydg. Unfortunately for ydg one of those stabs connected and over the course of the night he bled to death.
How do I know? In Day 5 we see that motbob cannot see without his partner. The man ydg finds on the street is unaware of ydg, and lashes around with the knife to try and stab him. It clearly sounds like this mafia can't see ydg, and so here motbob is the killer. I can also see a possible connection to Lenwe here, but Day 5 really says to me that this guy is motbob.
This passage in Day 2 is TruthBringer:
The first headed straight for the control room. His quickened walk looked almost arrogant as he kept his eyes peeled for any sign of resistance. The Mafioso burst through the control room door and Shikyo leapt from his chair in shock. Disappointed that there was only one occupant, the Mafioso sighed and punched Shikyo in the gut, causing him to fall face first onto the ground. Standing above Shikyo, the Mafioso opened fire on his head. By the end of the incident there was more metal inside of Shikyo’s head than organic material. Satisfied with a job well done, the Mafioso signalled to his colleagues that the Control Room was secure.
---------
There are four mafia left. These are the clue passages that I believe fit to each one. It's kind of tricky and I'm not confident about the last two.
Mafia 1 (Mr. Julia):
+ Show Spoiler +There was one matter left to attend to – the destruction of the secret Liquiville Cheese recipe. The task was left to Mr Julia, a newcomer to the Mafia but nonetheless determined to carry out his orders. Mr Julia had a nack for working out combinations and he had cracked the safe within seconds. He wasted no time in burning the recipe with his lighter. “What are you doing!!” cried fishball, startling Mr Julia and causing him to accidentally burn himself on the recipe. fishball watched in horror and amazement as Mr Julia’s burn wound began to change colour and pulsate. “Look what you’ve done!” exclaimed Mr Julia who came lunging at fishball. fishball fended Mr Julia’s first few blows off, but each blow became more erratic and powerful. It wasn’t long until Mr Julia landed a punch square on fishball’s jaw, knocking him to the ground. Mr Julia pounced on fishball and eventually turned fishball into a bloody pulp. Even though fishball was dead, Mr Julia could not stop and eventually, after his body began to pulsate, he passed out. Mr Julia had been given a strict set of instructions to follow, and the first required him to wait until exactly 3:14am. He sat outside motionless as the fog rolled over him. He knew his skin was beginning to form bulbs as he was not familiar with these conditions. As predicted, vx70GTOJudgexv left the building at the precise time. vx70GTOJudgexv was a strong man in the town, arguably the strongest in all of Liquiville. Mr Julia walked up behind him and put his military training to good use – hitting vx70GTOJudgexv in the exact position to cause him to collapse to the ground. However as vx70GTOJudgexv fell he reached to Mr Julia’s face and grabbed a leather strip covering his face revealing a whole where his nose should have been, and the scars of countless surgeries. The bulbs on Mr Julia’s skin began to change to a chilling shade of yellow as he realised he did not have much time left. He picked up vx70GTOJudgexv and ran towards the cheese factory as fast and he could and dumped him inside.
Mafia 2: lanky man
+ Show Spoiler +The events at the Palace were not yet through for the night. Plexa, the Emperor, had heard the noises, seen his Bodyguards brutally tortured and murdered and heard the explosion down stairs. He knew that whoever the intruders were, they were after him. Fortunately Plexa’s Palace was well equipped with hiding places after his Uncle’s erratic fear of giant spiders. It was not difficult for him to completely conceal his presence in the room.
Two men were rummaging around in a room nearby, where exactly he could not tell. The sounds came closer and closer and very soon they were in the same room as him. He saw two men; one tall and lanky, the other carrying an explosive device. Their plan became immediate to him, they were going to blow his palace up with him inside. The two began setting the device while Plexa buried himself in his hiding place.
“Wait” said one of them. Plexa heard footsteps, he heard gun load, he felt the cold of the barrel up against the back of his neck. The man pulled the trigger. The Emperor was dead.
The team of two got to work right away sabotaging the Cheese factory. As one sprinkled fox glove seeds all over the cheese, the tall lanky one kept vigilant in case security was alerted. Elemenope had been alerted to their activities moments ago upon hearing the prolonged roar which had come from the control tower, which then prompted him to look outside his window which overlooked the entire factory. As a security guard for the factory, he knew it was his responsibility to protect the exports at all cost. He launched himself out of the window towards the two saboteurs in hopes to catch them by surprise. However the lanky one was well aware of what was going on. A simple sidestep was enough to have Elemenope come crashing to the floor, immediately the other Mafioso tied him up and strapped a bomb to his chest.
Caller and So no fek were returning from their night class on nautical warfare, but knowing there were Mafia about they decided to take the back route to their home. While walking through the last and only park on their journey home they heard a strange but faint laughter. A twig behind them snapped. They panicked- Caller turned and ran as fast as he could, while So no fek was petrified and could not move. The Mafioso stepped forward and ensured that So no fek would no longer be able to move... The morning rooster crowed, and both Mafioso knew that So no fek still had to be dealt with. Upon checking his wallet they established his ironic death by making So no fek sink in the harbour. (unsure about this one above. it might not be him).
One Mafioso strapped a bomb to his chest while the other began citing scripture about inertinept’s actions that night. The Mafia backed away and inertinept was blasted into oblivion.
I am having trouble building the characteristics of the other two mafia. The way Plexa writes often makes it hard to pick out individual people.
