biggest most obvious clue imo.

biggest most obvious clue imo. Yeah if someone knows how to check who has had temp bans or whatnot they should maybe make a report.

I thought it meant Mafia in previous games, but I like your analysis.

Your point is good too but mafia either get hung or get away in games. The crest on the arms may refer to something like that... i dunno not sure what to think about the crests on the arms. I thought it meant Mafia in previous games, but I like your analysis.

Okay, I did a quick run through of all the players in the roster, and found a few users have been previously temp banned before.
Scaramanga: three times, 2 bans for attitude, one by request malongo: once, staff disrespect bumatlarge: once, catch phrase iNfuNdiBuLuM: once, posted info for mafia game
Few others have been temp banned as well, but by request.

Lol what does by request mean? They want to be banned because they spend too much time posting?

I thought it meant Mafia in previous games, but I like your analysis. I completely disagree with you two, since from what ive read chuius clues point to 1 person at a time not mass people. (please correct me if im wrong). The closest i can think about this is RoL aka Monkeyspanker.

Day 1 is usually red herrings if anything.
While this is true, I'm trying to give the DTs something to clue check, even if it is probably a red herring. Trust me, it is useful for the DTs to have other people at least trying to do clue analysis so they can pick the analysis that they think is the strongest to verify.

From past experience, my clue analyzing abilities are pretty terrible. Therefore as a forewarning, ignore everything I say.
The experts portion of liquidia sounds an awful like the TL Manpower section http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=84245
The crests and criminals are pretty significant. I'm too tired/lazy to check but I'd presume something in someone's profile may link to this. Could someone make a list of profiles?
The sharp looking man may have a reference to a sword. Fortunately for us, MidnightGladius is not in this game. Unfortunately, it could be any number of people.
The lookout who gives those men bats is also significant. The word bat could mean a baseball bat, or quite literally the bat flying thing. Vampire reference most likely.
There's other things but I'm too blind to see them. Again, I encourage everybody to participate, even and especially townies. The more townies speak up, the less inactives the mafia can hide amongst, and the more people speaking, the more blues can cover up their actions. There's no point in hiding to stay alive if everybody else that could help you is dead. So again, I urge all townies to do what I do, and speak!

oh! haha, this is what i get for not keeping up with my required sc viewing
also: i like the "inertinept" :: "benign man" connection. but not enough to vote on it. day 1 lynch is an unkind mistress.

The end of the story starts with:
+ Show Spoiler +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.
