I'll /in for now actually. If you can elaborate a bit more on how this game will work (you can PM me if you prefer) then I'll make a decision but the "picking a person" sounds awesome if it is what I think it is. Anyway, I'll choose Thom Yorke (lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter from the band Radiohead) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thom_Yorke | ||

"a twitchy one eyed leprachaun stabbed the mayor to death, babbling about global warming as he slaughtered him mercilessly" hopefully it wont be that obvious | ||

There was a character in naruto who was like gaara but used rocks, but he didn't have a big role and wasn't related to gaara at all. If the clues are anything like XXXVI, then usually the entire post is reference to the person and there are 5-6 clues which point directly to that person which fit the entire post, not a small portion. Carlos the jackal seems like a very good match so far. Yesterday was the wife's birthday, so today I will have time to read the thread and I'll try to find hints. This is a dumb defense. If LSB had never watched/seen Naruto he'd have nearly no way of knowing all of that. And you can just as easily say with any one that "sure the story fits my character in X way but not in Y way" because there are very rarely perfect clue situations. If Node got the impression that gravel was a fair connection to Gaara then that could very well be what LSB was thinking when he wrote the clue. I'm not saying it's you but this doesn't actually rebutt anything Node was saying. The fact that you were that defensive when he didn't accuse you (and actually said the story doesn't really fit you overall) makes me more wary than anything. | ||

But if I were a mod and writing a clue for a panda bear I'd probably just go the "frenzied animal maiming" route. Referring to bamboo is too obvious. I said that because earlier someone implied the clues made you exempt. Let me make it clear I'm not accusing you of being the attacker. I'm merely stating it isn't an impossibility and it would be close minded to clear you. | ||

Even though their diet is mostly bamboo they will eat meat. However, pandas probably wouldn't eat the whole body and would leave a very mangled body left over. the second point is irrelevant as clues in mafia games will not function based perfectly on logical reality. that isn't the kind of thing i want to see as a defense. one thing i hate about clue games is there is no possible way to defend yourself from them aside from the chainsaw defense which is inherently scummy. | ||

The only connection to Jonathan Swift is that he wrote a satire called "A Modest Proposal" which advocated eating children in poor Ireland to solve the hunger problem. That could be connected to the disappearance of bodies but its verrrrry tentative. Jackal58 is the strongest clue connection aside from Shann I guess. But Shann could really fit anything and Q doesn't jump out as me as much as Carlos the Jackal does. | ||

I don't know if LSB went that far. Are links on the wiki pages used to generate clues? And if you're all going to go with Pirates=Terrorists you might want to describe this "chainsaw defense" to me. I might need it. A couple things wrong here: A. Saying "I already discounted J. Swift" as though you are some sort of authority on who can or can't be related via clue. I said there was another tentative connection through that work which is a pretty famous one in actuality. In fact GMarshall even quotes "A Modest Proposal" in his profile. B. You assume "pirates" is the important aspect of the story. There are always red herrings. Very rarely (if ever) will anyones chosen profile fit all aspects without one being contradictory. Otherwise the game is too easy. C. The Chainsaw Defense is defending yourself by attacking someone else (typically your accuser). Basically you have to find someone that fits the story better than you do. | ||

That would make me suspect number 1 on every day post every time someone picks Q or an omnipotent being as their character. If only you get the powers of your character you're playing ^^ Would've ended this entire mafia game in 1 second. Anyways, one another thing. I don't know why chaoser already is voting against Node which has no connection to the day 1 post yet. He could be mafia but he isn't described in the clues in any way. Dinosaurs lol. Voting for Node is just a blind pick and hoping he is mafia. It kind of makes it seem that you're trying to divert the attention away from one of the main suspects (Carlos most likely). because posting behavior >>>>>>>>>>>>> clues and chaoser is smart enough to know that | ||

Explanation of "chainsaw defense" should not be included in criticisms because I was just answering a question. | ||

If that's how you guts are doing clue analysis this game is going to be a slam dunk for red. I'm disappointed. I thought the chainsaw defense was going to be something much more exciting. i don't understand your response so we should utilize only your connection of J Swift. and not consider any others? if anything its more likely he'll connect AMP than gullivers travels since that work is quoted in gmarshall's profile. it would be stupid not to consider it | ||

GMarshal Jonathan Swift - Unless this includes Gulliver's Travels nothing but perhaps time period I was just saying there was something else possible besides Gulliver's Travels reference and that A Modest Proposal may be more likely to be referenced. That's all. I'm not insinuating you accused GMarshall. I'm just expanding on what you said. | ||

if he's mafia, it's smart that he'd check with me. if i come out and try to get the vote change it gives that initiative more credibility and could take suspicion off pandain if jackal flips later. wait for tomorrows clues, but pandain is the most suspicious character right now. | ||

Mafia can kill 1 and town just waits till day >.>? How do we people know there's a medic in the first place? I know it's mentioned in the roles but isn't stated anywhere that there is a medic in the first place. But on the other hand it could also very well mean there are 2 medics or w/e. This goes for veteran as well. But if there is a medic among us then the following people should be protected: - Mr. Wiggles: I think Mr. Wiggles should be first because he was spot on with Jackal with his first analysis and he is very usefull for Town. - DrH: He's been being very objective and not discounting anything. Furthermore anything what Jackal said was mostly contradicted by DrH like how to analyse etc. So this gives me an even more impressions that he's surely pro-town. But in any case I have another thing while I was reading the past pages of this thread. Chaoser quotes Jackal and both of them were thinking about the 18th century Naval references. I would expect chaoser to be a bit experienced in mafia yet he thinks about the 18th century references which should not be an indication for mafia people because if you combine that with LSB's day 1 post it would indicate that he is probably mafia. Furthermore he randomly votes for Node out of the blue. Of course this can be interpreted as a way to pressure someone to actually post more and I asked why he would do such a thing? Chaoser then went inactive for some reason or just doesn't want to respond to my questions. DrH then gave me a logical reason but from his view and not from chaoser's. DrH then tells me that posting behavior means clues and he also says that chaoser is smart enough to know that. So why would chaoser do something like that? Beginners mistake? So this gives me an even more of an impression that chaoser is most likely mafia and to watch out for. i would elaborate on this but i don't like talking during night phase honestly town shouldn't talk at all. it does more harm than good. | ||

Holden Caulfield hates others. That could explain the first picture (drop the bomb). A quote from wikipedia about a story involving Caulfield: "Once home, he is not shown confronting his parents, who, according to the maid, are playing bridge." That connects to the fourth picture. If anyone has anything on the other 3 then speak up. Raiden/Kenpachi/Gaara could all be said to use "magic" for the fourth one. The third could be reference to a particularly cold setting or animal tracks (pointing to Pandain). One of the pictures is a red herring. I am inclined to believe it is the third or the last. | ||

He was playing with Picard, changing the flow of time, etc. #3. Magic... well... supernatural abilities, like you said. Is anyone seriously buying this? Dr.H is clearly tied due to Music + Apocalypse now. There's no way that both of them are wrong. Show me a better connection than Apocalypse Now / Radiohead video. How the hell does "Apocalypse sounds like Armageddon which is part of the tile of a MK movie" fit better than googling: Apocalypse Now Radiohead -> BAM. radiohead never made a video about apocalypse now there is a fan video of apocalypse now set to motion picture soundtrack which never had a music video. i realize the music thing fits but like I said, if you were to delve far enough into radiohead fandom (lyrics) you could make me fit anything. many of the hail to the thief lyrics reference war and bombs (sit down. stand up.) but to go as far as to try to connect me from a fan music video for a song LSB may have never even heard is pretty ridiculous. the way how you talk about it like it is so obvious makes me almost sure you're mafia but i want to read some of the other posts in this thread before I say that. | ||
