My character is the assorted cast of Dinosaur Comics.

I am going to be so all over any Thom Yorke clues.

Obviously I'll be a little biased since my character is gaara, but

Gaara used sand and in all cases he always left behind traces of sand and thats it, he never any traces of blood. 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.

Pandas don't eat humans? And they eat bamboo for 99% of diet?

Anyway, will be contributing with my thoughts shortly.

I asked my wife and she said that they will occasionally attack humans but it is a very rare occurence. 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.

I already discounted J. Swift. If you want to include what he wrote Gulliver's Travels has lots of stuff in it that matches up with things in the day post.
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.

So that makes me suspect number 1. Because my character can do all of the things mentioned. 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).

Two 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.

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.

I was responding to your perceived implication of my apparent attempt to connect Jonathan Swift to the clues.If you wish to include A Modest Proposal in the list of things a clue could point to feel free. 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.

Goddamit I HAVE MADE NO CONNECTION TO SWIFT!!!!!!
Stop putting words in my mouth.

4. GMarshal Jonathan Swift - Unless this includes Gulliver's Travels nothing but perhaps time period

I should've read posts better. I missed the posts saying that the mafia lsb mentioned were not in the game lol.

So what is happening now guys? 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.

Well did anyone notice "Beethoven" in the openning picture? maybe thats the music sheet o_O

It looks like a movement in Beethoven's conerto No 5. The Main theme in Movement 1 is similar to the first line of the sheet

P.S.:
Q from Star Treck also fits all your findings:
#1. He could end all life, give life, etc. => He could easily cause apocalypse
#2. Legos! 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.

...umm... so Lego + Drop the bomb sound like they are connected to MK, but Music (thom yorke) + Video of Apocalypse now with Raidohead soundtrack as one of the first results in google for apocaylpse now + House of Cards are not good references.

Not scummy at all there buddy.
