I fear

Product Placement ,gullas ,and harkovast

…could be mafia..and at least one of them must be
Well you had a good reason to fear gullas during the last game. There's a reason he bears the name gullas the impaler today.

What I don't understand is why am I always on everyone suspect list? Would it help if I just shut up and stopped discussing stuff on the the forum?

We're now past the point where we throw wild accusations. Now that we just received our first casualties, the next step is to pick at the narration and decipher the clues.
Those were my two cents.

Because we know it gets under your skin…and if you didn't talk at all you would be more suspect.

Well I guess I let it get to me because during the last game that blasted herring finger me so conclusively that everyone focused on me instead of figuring out who the real mafia was. We wasted a detective checkup on me and when I came back clean, people started coming up with conspiracy theories like “the mayor is mafia and is protecting Product” “product is the vigilante gone rouge” and so on. I was unable to do anything constructively until I was killed… and risen.. then killed again… and again.

Man what a shitty game. Why did I come back?

, the next step is to pick at the narration and decipher the clues.


The first is obviosly either someone who does not talk that much..or has a comic with a cool smart laid back character
The second is harder and would be a ilarious or very rowdy poster..or a have a comic with a screw-up or a nauto-like chracter

Don't you mean the other way around? I got the impression that the second murderer was a silent type.

Gah. I should be going to sleep. I promised myself not to work on the clues until tomorrow.

Good night people.

I have reason to think Niccea and PP are not mafia. I'll work on the clues when I get a chance. Also I might not be around that often cause I've hit my hard spot in the week. Tests 8am-9:30 class schedule and finals and more tests p.p

Well does anyone have any hints on who the clues are referring too?

Very well written indeed, also gruesome. Yeesh.

Anyways, the first half is a reference to a Futurama episode;

Someone
Futurama spoofs this trope in a rare scene during the credits: a scientist declares that he's “combined the DNA of the world's most evil animals (a Lion, Scorpion, and Shark) to make the most evil creature of them all.” A human then emerges from some sort of cloning tube, and just in case that's too subtle, declares, “It turns out it's man” in the most undramatic and dull way possible, just to parody the ham handedness of the way the point is often made by other shows.

Anyone have a sci-fi comic with similar themes?

The curling iron attack reminds me of the movie Sleepaway Camp where the following happened;


Next, Judy, who had decided to skip the social, is killed in her cabin when the murderer forces a hot hair curler into her vagina.


MOVIE SPOILER:

The killer turns out to be Angela, a crazy she male. Anyone named Angela and androgynous?

Looking into the second clue. It could be a reference to Shoot 'Em Up?

Someone
Man what a shitty game. Why did I come back?

Revenge.

Due to my allergies, I just took some NyQuil and I'm going to bed a few hours early so if you have any pressing issues that can't potentially wait for eight hours, please let me know now.
God needed the Devil, the Beatles needed the Rolling Stones, Hakoshen needs me.
I'm the enemy he requires to define him.
Soon or later, he'll bring me back to life again for another epic encounter of shouting about power levels and grimacing.

That could be - the weapons are very likely clues, but I'm going to have to dig through the comics to figure it out.

Someone
and to that end had gathered all of the deadliest creatures on the planet and spliced their DNA into a single creature

Perhaps this “animal” thing is a clue - we have several people with animals in their names: Kitty17, GiantPinkWalrus, TheFlyingGreenMonkey, Skoolmunkee, Catcatdragoo

It's not a concrete lead, but it's a new vein of investigation

Now that I think of it more, maybe the weapons being the main clues is too obvious. There's got to be something subtle in both paragraphs…

That's why I latched onto the animal thing, which admittedly could be arbitrary, but it seemed a valuable observation

Would it have anything to do with curling irons or other things with a “piercing” nature?

I think you're on to something but you missed one detail. The killer is a guy.

But the assassin wasn't finished. He snatched the now red hot curling iron from Humorman's slacking hand and drove it deep into his victim's eye. With an agonized scream, Humorman collapsed as the assassin retrieved his knife and delivered a killing blow.

So it can't be Kitty17, Skoolmunkee, or Catcatdragoo. That leaves Walrus and TheFlyingGreenMonkey and Walruses aren't really evil animals, they only have huge penises. That leaves TheFlyingGreenMonkey, Monkey being the closest relative to man. Green is usually a color associated to vileness and in other words general evil, and flying references the the evil flying monkeys in the wizard of oz. The whole thing vaguely reminds me of the monkey in Allegro Non Troppo;

Eventually it does, and begins to change shape into a variety of fantastic creatures, colorfully mirroring Earth's own evolution. The creatures continue to march to an unseen objective, constantly in the same direction, sometimes in conflict with each other along the way, but all going absolutely straight forward except for the monkey in the film, which tends to kill other creatures. The monkey is seen learning to adapt with fur, boats, clubs, and eventually fire, all obtained at the expense of the other creatures. The creatures, now looking much like dinosaurs, pass by the Egyptian Pyramids, a looming crucifix, and an already-fought 20th century battlefield, all forcing the creatures to gaze in wonder for a moment before continuing on. Finally, as the piece reaches its amazingly loud climax, the creatures are all destroyed by skyscrapers coming up from the ground suddenly, followed by a looming human above them all. The human's face crumbles though it were made of stone to reveal the monkey inside, having conquered all the other creatures.

Taking all of this into account…

I still stand by my accusation since that would only affect on how I decided to start analyzing Monkey's relevance to the whole thing, the conclusion reached still stands on it's own. The detective can ask to confirm this before we do something drastic and lynch a innocent guy in any case, no?

Nah, think of the faulty intel as a search warrant for drugs. The warrant WAS faulty, but I still found the evidence of drugs.

Aha, but I found the evidence of drugs. Not drugs. Note, I didn't vote for FlyingGreenMonkey. I simply accused him. I believe we should have the detective confirm such a thing before continuing on that route.
