Hello everybody, how's it going. As there are no real viable suspects to lynch yet I have decided to compile some clues I was thinking about:

1. “The killer blocked Kennigit's blade with an apple that had had fallen out of the refrigerator and swiftly proceeded to shove the remains of the apple down Kennigit's throat before throwing him out the window.”

This clue in particular caught my eye. Something of importance along the lines of an apple, forbidden fruit maybe? Anyways... possible suspects:

skronch - Really no other reason than his name. As he does not have any text or images in his profile, his name is the only thing that could be used as a clue. And “skronch” sounds like the sound one makes when eating the apple.

The_Master – A little weak but blocking a knife attack with a fruit and then killing the assailant with it takes a lot of skill. Besides his name, his quote is: “[CPL]Master on team Prodigies!”



2. “Two newcomers strode inside.”

This one I actually have a firm belief on.

Abenson – His profile text.
+ Show Spoiler +
Hello!
I'm Abenson, an E-/D-/D zerg player who just started playing Starcraft December 2009... I'm actually a noob, so please bear with me if I ask stupid questions or seems inexperienced :D

Note: Iccup ID: xNoobZerg


This seems to suggest that he is very new at the game, a newcomer.



3. “With that, he launched himself forward at the three town leaders, lifting his fists and taunting them with strange barbaric noises.”

citi.zen
– I don't mean to infringe on anyone's campaign but his quote: Aut viam inveniam, aut faciam. Sounds like someone babbling something nonsensical. I wasn't able to find a translation so correct me if I'm wrong.

StimiLant – Again, not much to work with in his profile. Sounds like the person screaming was using stimulants?



4. “The second Mafia member glared at Qatol in disgust and contempt. "Vile, dirty scum," he muttered, shuddering.”

meeple – This one is a bit of long shot
+ Show Spoiler +
A marine approached a hooker
Who had once been quite the looker
(Well before a thousand took her),
"Carnal bride,
On the planet of Tarsonis,
Whores are known to earn a bonus
If they cast protection's onus
Far aside."

That pecuniary offer
From the horny private's coffer
Held appeal. She let him boff her
Very long.
In their frenzied copulation,
She released an infestation
On his dong.

Once their sex was interrupted
With his manmeat thus corrupted,
Sunken colonies erupted
At its base.
The marine observed his error
With a look of pallid terror
On his face.

Having waived his sole protection,
He was led by his erection
By the Swarm, in the direction
Of his watch.
Twenty soldiers of his nation
Perished in precise formation
To the massive conflagration
From his crotch.

Should you seek a lady's graces,
Plasma-shield your nether places,
Sheath your psi blades, cast a stasis
On your probe.
If you can't resist temptation,
Just resort to masturbation.
Don't disrobe.

The poem in the profile briefly focuses on an old prostitute that infested the marine's cock.

That's all I got. I think we should really come to a decision soon though.

Ok really? Lynching the mayor just because he is the mayor? That's like saying: Let's all lynch everyone who is contributing so the thread goes silent. I get the "reasoning" behind doing so but killing off important roles would just ruin everyone's fun.

I also think it is a bit early to analyze anyone's behavior. Although T_co may seem fishy, I'd like to stick to clues for lynching instead.

Hmm... I was actually kind of expecting t_co to flip green. From now on we shouldn't lynch anybody without clues to back it up. The next night should really help us out in starting to pick up on the mafia's trail.

And this is not as strong of a correlation?
makes me think it is unlikely that both flamewheel and kane are both mafia. Why would flamewheel seemingly throw another mafia under the bus (assuming he is mafia for this point, not accusing) to attempt to save himself. I also read through the clues again, unfortunately I got nothing. I think it would be wise for everyone to take at least one more crack at the clues to spur some more discussion before decisions are made.

You know there's such a thing as reverse logic? Throwing another mafia to the wolves will make people doubt he is guilty.
This last clue against kane is pretty strong. I'd say, for now, he actually is our best target.

Since our mafia guys continue to be silent (I guess at this point they have said enough/nothing left to argue), I'll cover the rest of the list sometime today as well. That way, if I get lynched tonight it will not matter one iota.

1. Clue link: please review his profile pictures, then read this:

Show nested quote +
Walking home from the post-election celebration, a slightly tipsy blue_arrow was whistling tunelessly to himself in the violet dusk. After a block or two, he noticed the sound of someone shuffling behind him. Though unnerved, he tried to shrug it off and started walking faster. The shuffling did not speed up in response, and blue_arrow felt safer the further he walked from his follower. As the streetlamps flickered on one by one, he took a quick peek behind him. One glimpse of his follower's frightening appearance was enough to clear his mind and convince him the Mafia was after him. Blue_arrow took off running. Sweat dripped off his forehead and fear spurred him to achieve near-Olympian speed as he sprinted for his life. He flew past several blocks in a few minutes, but always he could hear his attacker plodding relentlessly after him. Finally, the exhausted blue_arrow slumped against a lamppost, so worn out by his headlong dash that he couldn't move another step. All he could do was watch with mounting dread as his entirely unperturbed attacker caught up to blue_arrow and strangled him to death.


2. Forum posts

First mention of him as a suspect - our Mayor:

I google the name after seeing the beatle lyrics in his profile (possible reference to Apple) and Ghote is a detective in a series of novels. A detective would have that sort of calculating/cold nature, and there is also the possibility of the apple reference pointing to him.


I think those types of classifications are too vague... Hyperbola is a math term, so that could be construed as cold and calculating as well.


Guess who wrote the very next post? Why, the ever-present DrH of course! This is what he tells us:

Maybe. The apple reference is what stood out to me the most, so I think I just really want to connect that to something. Although it definitely is, something.

The StimiLant/Tea connection seems the most solid to me though.


Right, my mistake there are other stronger clues. Lets move it along then, since we next have Hyperbola's only "real" attempt to solev the mystery. Check out the high powered arguments he finds, many days into the game:

Poor guy can't even find a translation of my profile quote! I am sure he tried to google it, read previous posts trying to find anything about it and so on, he must have tried to click that damn wikipedia page explaining the quote. Unfortunately he came up with NOTHING, so naturally the whole thing sounds nonsensical and barbaric. Good solid find, worth posting together with the other gems!

Now, at the time, I read his big post and scratched my head. Guess who tried to 'splain it to me:

I think we need to go more into outter space. I accuse myself ... let's see uh... there number of victims last night was 3, and there are 3 numbers in my name. That's concrete proof that I'm mafia, lynch me up boys.

But yeah, whoever the mayor ends up being doesn't have much to go on for the first lynching. Hopefully day 2 will have some nice clues for us.


lol. well, the mayor will go with whoever fits best. I'd say that is hobbes at this point, maybe stimilant.

Waw, going back over your post Hyperbola I find nothing useful there! You leave out important things others already said and seem to go on these side-lines without any apparent reason. I mean, after all the conversations we've had, for bad guy one you offer this:

I am puzzled.


I think he's trying to add new speculation rather than pontificate on old ones. We've already said about everything there is to say about hobbes/ghote/etc. at this point, so it's good that he is avoiding redundancy.


Thanks DrH, that explanation really helped. Nail Hyperbola, that is.

If this is not enough read his posts after page 74... see how he reacts.

Byebye Hyperbola, you are getting 2x lynched with keit, right after Mystlord is getting vigilante hit.



I'm not the mafia, mmk?
