This may have been clarified earlier, but activity is judged not just by forum posts, right? I've been relatively active in PMs, as I feel that's the only wise way to express my thoughts at the moment, but I haven't posted here yet at all.

Active in PM's huh? Who can verify your activity?

My Dota buddies. If it becomes necessary, they can back me up. Although I guess I shouldn't have said PMs, as it's been conversations off of TL.net, but it's pretty much the same thing.

Btw, that guy who tried to start another game of mafia isn't playing this time, is he? Cause if so, the whole Eddie storyline could point to him... Trying to wrench leadership away from Chuiu and all - specifically, this quote: "We don't like the way you're running things, and its time for change, either you submit and follow my leadership or you get to taste lead for dinner".

If he's not, maybe someone that helped him start that failed game. I didn't really pay attention to it, and I don't want to go read the failed mafia game's thread, so people that know the history of that better might want to think about it and compare it against who's playing this time.

Well, if he had someone helping him run it, or if someone posted a lot last game agreeing that Tracil's way was better, it could point to them. Just a thought.

Also, did anyone make a comment in this thread, insinuating that if someone got elected mayor that the town would enact something similar to martial law? Cause that person could be the one that this quote: "Lets just hope the right mayor gets elected, that would speed things up as the town declares martial law" is pointing to.

Seems like a few decent leads on them, then.

Perhaps not, but if there's any useful clues at all in the Day post, I'd think they would be in what the mafia said. The names of the mafia have way too many red herrings in them to be useful at this point, in my opinion.

I guess since a huge percentage of the names in the Day post have to do with Quentin Tarantino movies, it would be wise to check up on any references to him in people's names, posts, or signatures... Or even anagrams of Tarantino etc. But I still think the information that can be used by the town will only come out of the quotes.

And yes, I do realize that my name could tie me to Mr. Blue. However, as Shallow[Bay] showed, following the "clue" of the reservoir dogs names fingers tons of people, which is why I think it's a red herring. If the names have any meaning at all, it's a deeper on, such as the tie-in to one director or type of movie.

I don't think it's an intentional red herring. I just think it has a deeper meaning. People are looking for usernames with colors in them, or usernames in a certain color, while I think the focus should be looking for someone that is related to the overall arch of the storyline. However, I may be overthinking it...

One other thing before bed. The quote I mentioned previously: "We don't like the way you're running things, it's time for a change" has a similar connotation to MidnightGladius's signature, which reads:

It's time to acknowledge the inevitable. Stifle your pride and embrace the glory of change.

I still think if that's pointing to anyone, it would be pointing to someone that was involved in the other failed mafia game, but it's a similarity that should be pointed out.

Just so the mods know, I'm not spamming this thread. I'm just the type of person that always has one more thought after I hit the post button, and I don't think editing in a mafia game should be allowed.

Anyway, the reason I think the quotes I mentioned are probably clues is because they stand out from the rest of the storyline. Perhaps I see this dichotomy because I'm a writer, but the dialogue seems very stilted and unnatural, as if it was inserted into the story, instead of being written in along with everything else. If that's the case, then it was probably put in after a general outline of the day post had been fleshed out. The only thing that would be added at that point are the clues, which is why I feel that the dialogue contains the relevant information.

This theory is further supported by the fact that some of the dialogue is double-punctuated (IE: a quote ending with an exclamation, followed by an extraneous period). Perhaps Chuiu and Dapperdan just don't pay much attention to their grammar rules, but the other possible explanation for that is that the sentence was inserted in, and they forgot to delete the extra period.

Eh, same line of thought and all. I was already spamming, and I figured adding another addition would be too much overkill.

Bastards...

The only reason I can think of that I would be targetted is that I was onto something with my clue interpretations.

Good luck town.

Chuiu, like I said before, if you need some help writing clues next time send me a pm or whatever. Also, if whoever starts the "between time" game wants some help, same thing goes.
