In the morning a note was delivered to the Police HQ. It read

"We've killed two of your officers and if you don't find us and kill us first we will kill more. Lynch someone every day starting today. Use the experts of the town to find us before we kill you all. If you fail to lynch someone or try to evacuate the town we will set off a nuclear warhead hidden within the city killing everyone."

The mafia were playing a cruel game it seemed. That morning an announcement was made that all people would have to assist the police in gathering clues and voting on the suspected to be lynched every day. Change had come to Liquidia, and the whole world was watching to see how it would respond.

So, the plot that mafia has... is essentially an ultimatum for Liquidia. They don't want to lynch anyone for fear of messing up. So the best way to avoid that is to evacuate Liquidia, but then there is the bomb threat.

Basically, this reminds me somewhat of The Dark Knight, where the Joker essentially gives an ultimatum to the two ferry ships. Blow the other ship up (representing a lynch) or if neither do anything (evacuating the town), the Joker blows both ships up.

Also, the mafia note mentions that they will kill someone each day (also like the Dark Knight movie) when Joker posts clues about who he is going to target next and warns the real Batman to reveal his identity otherwise people will die.

We may want to look for Batman and Dark Knight clues.

WATCHMEN CLUE COMING UP

+ Show Spoiler +

Another possibility is the nuclear warhead in the city may represent the catastrophe in Watchmen. For those who have not read the comic book essentially what ends up happening is the Watchmen (good guys) try to find out who (bad guys) are picking off former Watchmen. Eventually, the climax of the story is when the bad guys set off a massive explosion in NYC, killing everyone.

So we may also want to look for Watchmen clues in profiles as well.

Ok, he's mafia too. You're also mafia for disagreeing with me.

Hrmm.... either:

1) Rice is mafia, defending another mafia member being accused. In this case, Inertinept

2) Rice is town, just adamant about pandabearguy being a potential mafia member and I am looking into this too much.

I say this because this is exactly what happened in the game when Ace (who was GF) got accused of being mafia by the Village Idiot (BC?) and... malongo? AttackZerg? or some other mafia immediately came to Ace's defense.

Chuiu says in the story that the mafia threaten the town with a nuke. Which can be a clue for:

MasterOfChaos. His profile section has a .jpeg file of a Nuke

^^ Also, to add to my above post, Bockit also has a nuclear/nukes reference when his profile quotes "America turtled on island and tech to nukes. Also, some drop harass. - Jyvblamo, On WWII"

I think if the nuclear warhead is a clue and if it can point to anyone, I'd go with MasterOfChaos more so than Bockit.

Sigh, and just when I almost finish finding nuclear references in user profiles.... Ra.Xor.2 has a quote saying "Nuclear Launch Detected - South Korea on hearing that SC2 sucks" in his profile.

Obviously, this doesn't mean that the nuclear warhead clue is not a clue because one of the 3 may still be mafia. But it'd be nice if we kept an eye on the 3 people that I mentioned. I'd rank strength of clues for the three in this order assuming that the nuke is a clue:

1) MasterOfChaos
2) Ra.Xor.2

quite a bit weaker

3) Bockit

Clue analysis is always good but please dont post people as mafia off weak clues esp off day 1, we understand what your saying
just a little pet peeve

Okay, no problem. I guess by posting up names, I make people more inclined to look only at the names I posted. At the same time though, by posting up names, it draws attention to those people which can also benefit. Regardless, since you let me know of that, I'll be sure to heed your words in the future.

Dang, great plan on the veterans LTT and co.

I suggest the town not vote TOO much for inertinept mainly because of:

1) We can assume some mafia will also vote for inertinept. If a DT uses a vote check on that particular list, then it could come up something like 10/60 are mafia.... We just need enough votes to insure inertinept will be lynched, but not an overkill. This gives the DTs a potential to get something like... 4/20 to work with: a slightly better percentage.

Also, please look here and look at my first post in that page. Notice how Rice came to inertinept's defense. There is reason to believe he is either:

1) overzealous town?

2) mafia?

Lastly, ##I vote for Sanctuary on Veterans .

more likely 4.... Each veteran has 2 votes. One veteran voted for Blue_arrow. One vet on Rice. The other two split their votes between Caller, ydg, zeks, pandabearguy.

But if we really have 8.... dang...
