So far the most likely culprit appears to be Inu…but I don't want to vote just yet. I honestly hate voting on the first day, it's almost never 100% sure we'll get the right person.

last game you got nailed on inu's death though.

So? What's that have to do with anything?

Oh wait I see. That's why I said “almost never”.

Inuyasha is innocent.
Killing him would be as crazy as a theodore rex sequal!
trust me I know!
I have inside knowledge on peoples roles.
Killing Inu yasha would ruin our entire strategy because we wont be able to do as many night hits!

Do not kill him!

Kill me! I did it!

I'm starting to think that double lynching Hark and Inu might not be a bad Idea.
A) From what I have seen, hark generally picks one person and tries to get them lynched, and it is almost never them. This track record means that Hark could cause a racket to have himself lynched and we wouldn't do it because he generally acts like a paranoid in a room full of knife wielding persons. As far as I know, he has never tried to have himself lynched. I could be wrong, but I think Hark might be a mafia trying to save Inu from a lynching.
B) Inu has the most evidence against him, nuff said.

Salsa, you haven't got the guts to lynch me!

Hark you remember when you said that all Americans have two 20mm cannons?
well…
*pulls out 40mm vulcan* I don't. >:)

WAIT!!! Why are you using a chair leg? A knife works much better!

Here, pick one!

Good evening. Up for a little tl;dr? :)

There's a possibility that the mafia decided not to move - therefore, it may be the rival member, potentially explaining why there is only one casualty. (Sorry, humorman, you recognized it as my tactic last time - this time it isn't.)

Clue breakdown:

“As he passed an ally” before the neon sign part may indicate that someone with whom Bocaj was friends is the murderer, or that he trusted his killer (potentially explaining the uncanny accuracy).
“A sword caught the light from a nearby neon sign, glowing”
“I'm too lazy to be chasing you all across town”
“I'll make this end quick enough”
Sarcasm

I wouldn't rely on the anime clue, since the clue specifically says “but that didn't matter.” If the clue is trustworthy, the important part is the running directly afterward - “nothing mattered but running.”

Repetitions: running/chasing, legs, sarcasm/sadism

Laziness - D_Dude, Kitty, Pastel, Crocty

Glowing swords - Hakoshen, Harkovast, Product Placement, Inuyasha

Players on Bocaj's friends list - Harkovast, Product Placement, Pastel, Crocty, therealtj

Therealtj also mentions bananas - “orange you glad I didn't say banana?”

Product Placement's profile - “I have similar hobbies as any other crazy person who dares to venture through the internet and live to tell the tale. Some might even call me a nerd even though I have a body of a jock. No I'm not saying I'm dashing or anything, just big. I could hold my ground on a football field whether we're talking about the American version or the version that everyone else uses and you yanks call that adorable name, soccer.”
His profile also features sarcastic humor.

Crocty's profile - “Okay I rearranged my top friends but then I realised that the way DD lets me arrange them is slow and then I got too lazy so I only have 8 friends for now.”

I'm especially interested in potential interpretation for “I'll make this end quick enough” and the repetition of running.

Just one thing. When I read “ally” in the narrative, I thought that maybe TFGM meant “alley”. Just a typo and not really a clue, but I could be wrong.

blah blah blah (No need for the rest)

That could be a typo, easy.
I think TFGM meant “alley” not “ally”
There was only one murder the first night in the last game too. It is quite possible that they decided to only make one hit and see who was the best at putting two and two together. After that they hit those that can solve clues, no clue slovers= bad day for the townies (and bad day for the guy playing the blues!)

Ok here is the deal. Only one paramedic reported in. They protected my other priority.

Also. Bocaj at first told me he was a normal townie and then went back and amended that he was vigilante.

Have we found the detective then?

I bet y'all are right about the typo. I'm unused to Monkey's writing as of yet, but it's definitely more sensible that way. :\

I think my other point is valid, though it's just speculation. Laying low for a night puts the godfather in a position to eliminate those who are potentially dangerous whilst hoping that the detective will waste abilities on non-mafia players. The odds are good that the mafia contains at least one or two regular players who would presumably already know the clue-solvers. Of course, the mafia could also just be lazy or contain inactive members. However, the mayoral voter turnout was high, implying that a large majority of players are active.

EDIT: to be honest, I'm also doing damage-control in the event that this should be made to look like I was mafia and doing the same strategy again. -_- Humorman called me out on not specifically talking about the number of kills one time and I was all “Henceforth, never again!”

Wei. I've known who the detective is for a while. I got them to confirm some stuff for me already.

The detective was the only person that I told that Bocaj was the vigilante. So, unless the detective double crossed us. (doubtful) The mafia just a had a lucky shot.

Either that or the paramedic that contacted me was a mafia spy cause Bocaj was one of the two people I told them to protect.

narrative
Esle where the medics watched their targets sleep soundly.

Ok then. I know one paramedic. I know that the other one is active cause of this. I would like to know who they are and who they were protecting.

Didn't see that the ally thing was a typo. Sorry :///o

If it becomes relevant again, here it is:

“”As he passed an ally“ before the neon sign part may indicate that someone with whom Bocaj was friends is the murderer, or that he trusted his killer (potentially explaining the uncanny accuracy)”

I actually wholeheartedly disagree with this. It sounds like you misread it. The ally and the murder are two different people.

Bocaj passed the ally as he was being chased.



I just don't see how your idea would work out.

But on that note, it could either suggest that the killer is *not* an ally, or that someone tried to help him tonight but was too late or changed their minds. (Like a paramedic)

“Therealtj also mentions bananas - ”orange you glad I didn't say banana?“”

That was a reference to bocaj's icon which features him as a banana. I'm not saying tj's innocent, but this isn't a reason to be used against him.

Also regarding the laziness clue, for this particular kill, crocty and kitty can be ignored.

As for me and the laziness thing, that was a really long stretch… naps and laziness? I wouldn't say they're really related. Maybe naps and being tired would be, but not laziness.

TFGM in the election thread
Clues are based on Profiles, Avatars, Signatures, comic names, comic icons, and the first five pages of comics.

Is this still what we should be looking at, monkey? Cause I want to be sure before hitting those comic pages.

Bocaj could see no one when he looked back. His murderer is the assailant who is originally mentioned as having chased the victim earlier, so presumably he would have been visible at that point. I figured the underlying assumption was that that the murderer was visibly in pursuit but is now elsewhere, i.e. in an unexpected place. Which is why I considered the later choice of words as a way to indicate betrayal, until they were like “it's a typo!” and I was all “daaaang!”
Regarding other clues, I try to find repetitions of words and themes and correlations between clues. So, while I do know what people's avatars look like, I'd still rather include repeated words and themes for future reference in case the next clue ties in with that previous clue in some way and could reference the same person. The first clues often are tiny, vague, or indirect, so I want to record them.

I'm…not really sure how to respond to a serious, step-by-step critical refutation like that, sorry for being so weird and pedantic ._.

Alley is what I meant. Sorry about that. I was writing pretty fast and didn't proof read.

I'll try to use words I know how to spell from now on :3

````````````````````````````````````````````

Exzachly I am keeping to what I said. Clues are based on Profiles, Avatars, Signatures, comic names, comic icons, and the first five pages of comics.

Thanks monkey, I wasn't complaining or nothing, just making sure.

Ok, here's what I've found so far without looking at any pages (I forgot to check for chasing/running):

Anime posters:
Inuyasha, obviously the name is from an anime.

“but that didn’t matter”:
(no matches)

Out of the blue:
Crocty – blue background in avatar
D_Dude - “muffinman” avatar figure is blue.
Niccea – blue background in avatar.
Therealtj – figure is surrounded by a blue backgroud in signature

Laziness: Gullas, kitty, inuyasha, crocty, D_dude, salsa (tenuous: “I procrastinate a lot”), pastel (tenuous:“I’d take a million naps“, Hakoshen (tenuous: ”I'm just another dude livin life and takin it easy“ )

Neon sign/glowing sword:
Inuyasha - the character is known for having one.
D_dude - mentions samurai jack in his profile.
Hakoshen – “I like martial arts, guns, swords”, his signature has a picture of himself holding a glowing sword.
Product Placement: holding a sign in avatar.
Harkovast: glowing swords are in his comic I remember, just checked, yes within the first five pages.

Cutting off legs/ ”mylegs!”:
(no matches)

Sarcasm:
(no matches)

Suck it up cry baby:
crocty - from profile: ”my list of things that suck“

I’ll make this quick enough:
(no matches)

So far I'm leaning towards inuyasha like everyone else… to me, laziness and the sword are the biggest clues and he (she?) seems to meet both. But, I almost feel like that first line (”there were anime posters on the wall, but that didn't matter" ) might be a clue that it's NOT him…. Hmmm…

pastel
Inuyasha is an anime and Inuyasha_rules mentions watching anime in his profile.

Edited to agree with this:

I think that Inu is the killer. Inuyasha uses a sword and has a habit of being very sarcastic.

TheFlyingGreenMonkey
a sword caught the light from a near by neon sign, glowing

Sign could refer to product placement.
Glowing sword could refer to the light sabers in Hakoshen's comic. Also he mentions swords in his profile.

Aghammer
True,

And…

Sword = blood = red = Inu's avatar!! AH HA

EDIT: Pastel, good catch on the neon sign. Also, PP is shifting blame that hasn't been pointed his way (by saying that there is a “leak” in leadership). Sounds like like a pre-emptive strike

Salsa

Inu (the DD member not eh character) has that he likes anime on his profile. One murder, two clues.

My resons in saying that there's a leak in leadership is because of the precision kill during the night. It's either a huge coinsidence or that the mafia knew that Bocaj was the vig.

And I don't think the clues describe me at all. Sure there's stuff you could call sarcasm in my profile but everyone who know me, know that I don't talk like that.

Salsa I'm not allowed sharp objects (except for that sword I did the murder with…but don't tell my therapist about that)

PP I always think it is safest to lynch everyone who does well in the election.
Take out the top three people, you are bound to get at least one mafia!

no.

I agree that there might be a leak somewhere. I would say niccea except she claimed to have a special role and the detective hasn't said otherwise. So that pretty much absolves her unless there's some relevant thing I'm missing. The detective should look into that medic to see if he checks out. It could just be a fluke too.

Salsa, actually it is a serious argument.
Unless the mafia is being useless, one of them is bound to have run in the election (and if they are being useless, this will be easy anyway).
If we lynch the top three people from the election, we are bound to get a mafia.
Admitedly we will probably get 2 innocents as well, but who cares? We outnumber them more then 3 to one! At that rate of casualties we will win and they will lose.
String em up I say!
