[The kool]

Wow alopex, I'm willing to go on that. Seems like too much of a coincidence to me.

Ya sorry ODD but that is quite a bit pointing at you. The whole out of your grasp, and previous mentions make it a really obvious herring. If it is... My bad, but your cries to be lynched last round are coming a bit late

I'm gonna have to join the bandwagon. Even though the clues pointing at odd seem really obvious, and are most likely herrings, I don't see much else to go on at the moment.

[SeeAMoose]

Some of the clues seem obvious, but I know I completely missed the bloodhound reference on my first time reading through the kill, and hadn't noticed the similarities to the last time he was killer. I think the most damning bit of evidence is the "rightful place as ruler" bit, only a few people knew about that one, and it is not something that odd would know anyone else was aware of. Of the current players, I think it may have been mentioned to xvegietim, Burns, zathy and kitti. Wildman was another who offered if no one else wanted the role, and I can't remember if I sent anything to m0rt.

[Zathyra]

Usually I am not a friend of joining bandwagons, especially not when we only have the dummykills so far, but moose told me hi theory in detail and now, that I had time to think about it, and since I have no better ideas, I will vote for odd too.
On the other hand moose seemed to be spreading the word of odd who wanted to take over as a host for a while. So if we are wrong with odd, I might look more on clues and checking if they fit to the moose.

[Theonewhoisodd]

Quite an impressive bandwagon Moosie quite impressive indeed. Well I can't do much to save myself but I will say that I am quite tired of defending myself.

[SeeAMoose]

I'm a little bit concerned that some of my suspects for Kore are voting with me... Not too sure what to make of that.

You know... aside from the possibility of me being dead wrong, but what are the chances of that?

[BurnsBees]

Bandwagon time. Okay, now I probably won't be able to post tomorrow or Sunday.

I read through all of the different ideas and theories, and I have one thing to say! I have no idea who to vote for =\ I'll abstain this round, because I don't feel like throwing my weight around with no hard evidence.

[The kool]

You never get hard evidence unless you're a power role.

But in other news, I have suspicions about Moose being Kore, mainly due to how he had Kore's kill on his computer. Let's take out Odd today, and debate him tomorrow.

[ReadsVoraciously]

I don't know. I think if Moose were worried about suspicion being cast on him by having a copy of the kill, the copy would have been sent via PM. Unless that's what Moose wants us to think! Dun dun dunnnn! But in all seriousness, I believe the first thing I said, at least until more clues make their appearance.

[PSychotic]

"back when moosie was a mere mortal he was always good at sniffing out clues and figuring who the killer was. unless he was the killer. then he was pretty much useless. so for now i believe the moose is innocent, new people."

[SeeAMoose]

You never get hard evidence unless you're a power role.

But in other news, I have suspicions about Moose being Kore, mainly due to how he had Kore's kill on his computer. Let's take out Odd today, and debate him tomorrow.

I would just like to state for the record that I predicted people coming to this conclusion when I went ahead and posted the copy of Kore's kill I saved.

Why did I keep a copy of the kill you ask? Well, the first time I read through Kore's kill I was struck by the form the grammatical errors took, and wanted to see what a little editing would do. Specifically I wanted to see if the sentences could actually be made sound by adding punctuation to them. I'll post my breakdown of Kore's dummy kill after tonight's update to show you what I was working on if you'd like.

If you want to lynch me because I saved a copy of Kore's kill to edit and study, then by all means go ahead. Just know in advance that such a lynch will be wasted. Hopefully I'm right about odd and this won't become an issue... but I will admit that at the moment I am a bit worried.

*edit:* Thanks Psychotic... but I think you give me too much credit. The last few rounds I played in as a citizen I wasn't particularly effective .

[Wolfie21384]

First, your lynch... straight from the bunny's mouth as it were.

Theonewhoisodd, in his goblin form, looks up from his table and notices a group of goblins coming at him with rope and torches at the from is SeeAMoose. "Really?" Odd says to himself before they reach him "Whoisodd comma Theone you are hereby required to come with us and hang by the neck until dead" SeeAMoose said loudly. By the time he finishes talking Odd had already transformed into his bunny form and was getting ready to run away.

Twenty minutes later Odd had lost them and shifted forms again and exited the building. He could hear them outside the building looking for him. Suddenly someone yelled "LOOK I SEEAMOOSE" to which SeeAMoose gave an evil glare. Odd turned towards them and began running slowly transforming into a hawk as he ran. Taking off right before the crowd but got caught on Moosie's horns he had tied to his head.

Thus passes theonewhoisodd.

Kill of Kore:

That night the man searched again he searched for the lexicon he had to find it before the voices of his master's screamd in his head like the howling of the wind and the snapping of sticks he had to find it before his retribution.
this time he searched behind the bar and yet again he was discovered this time by ralton.

Before ralton could raise the alarm the man clasped his hand around his mouth and plunged the nail he kept from last night as a memento in to his hart.

He was found the next morning surrounded in a pool of his own blood.

Victim: Ralton

What might have been, had the oddone stuck around:

One ex-god down already and it was time to take out another. It would be easy, like stealing candy from a baby. "Someone had tried to take out this particular god already but had failed and now it was my turn. Stabbing would be to much fun and I have already bloodied my sword too much. Maybe a shot to the head would work? No that would be too easy. Ah I now know what I shall do." the killer spoke to himself quietly.

The killer walked down to the bar and bought two drinks from the lovely Delivers Drinks and sat down next to SeeAMoose. "Good job at being the god of this bar" the killer said to Moosie. Moose looked up and thanked him for the compliment. "I truly hope one day to be as powerful as you were, but for now let me offer you a drink. "Only seven of you are staying in the lodge anymore, heh seven, twice that is fourteen, guess that number has to be stated every round now since when Odd almost got lynched because of it." He took a big sip of his drink and began choking. In seconds he was dead, a poker chip lodged in his throat. When removed the chip had these numbers written on it:
01123581321345589144

Victim: SeeAMoose

All that is left of SeeaMoose is his antler hat and a strangely undisturbed glass of Mt. Gay rum. How odd....

Heh, I'm alright with going out like that. Even after being killed by it, I gotta say I like Warlock's item. I wasn't the detective, but I will give you my take on Kore's kills, and my list of suspects. Good luck guys.

[ReadsVoraciously]

Dibs on the rum

[PicksUpSticks]

*Sticks looks up from the already half drank glass, then looks back down, sighs, and then hands it over to ReadsVoraciously*

[SeeAMoose]

Make sure you enjoy that rum, it's some... relatively good stuff . (It's no El Dorado 15 yr... but it's growing on me.)

Also, kudos to Wolfie for remembering the name of the rum I mentioned drinking last night and tying it in to the game.

[Theonewhoisodd]

Clues and Herrings:

First Kill (Was originally meant to be a kill of SeeAMoose since I didn't realize that it was suppose to be a dummy kill:

Code: Select all

So the god had bled and in his stead a new god had arisen. So wondrous was the world that someone who nigh fell beneath his feet in agony had become a god. She was out of his reach but now he could get revenge on the god who bled. The one who would not see him take his rightful place as the god of this world.

Blood had already been spilled and he knew it as soon as he entered the tavern. Like a dog his nose could pick up where the blood was coming from. He followed it to SeeAMoose's room and opened the door. There was Moosie lying on the ground bleeding, his minions from his time as a god had come back and tried to kill him. They hadn't finished the job as lucky for the Moose he had injected himself with a shot of adrenaline. Ironic. This was soon corrected by a stab to the throat, many times.

Victim: SeeAMoose

Clues: The second line is a big clue as the last time I was the killer I tried to kill Wolfie. Last line of the first paragraph is also a big clue as the first three words correspond with my name. "Like a dog his nose could pick up where the blood" reference to the fact I was a bloodhound the first time they were played which is stated in my sig. "injected himself with a shot of adrenaline" referencing my trowel entry a few rounds back where I submitted the idea of a shape shifter Adrenaline Shot.


Second Kill:

Code: Select all

One ex-god down already and it was time to take out another. It would be easy, like stealing candy from a baby. "Someone had tried to take out this particular god already but had failed and now it was my turn. Stabbing would be to much fun and I have already bloodied my sword too much. Maybe a shot to the head would work? No that would be too easy. Ah I now know what I shall do." the killer spoke to himself quietly.

The killer walked down to the bar and bought two drinks from the lovely Delivers Drinks and sat down next to SeeAMoose. "Good job at being the god of this bar" the killer said to Moosie. Moose looked up and thanked him for the compliment. "I truly hope one day to be as powerful as you were, but for now let me offer you a drink. "Only seven of you are staying in the lodge anymore, heh seven, twice that is fourteen, guess that number has to be stated every round now since when Odd almost got lynched because of it." He took a big sip of his drink and began choking. In seconds he was dead, a poker chip lodged in his throat. When removed the chip had these numbers written on it:
01123581321345589144

Clues: Back in round seventeen I used a sword to kill Kide and stabbed Delivers Drinks. Shot in the head is a reference to Fallout: New Vegas, which I said on the forums I just got, where in the beginning the player is shot in the head. Truly hoping to be a god like Moose is a reference to me wanting to be host. "Seven of you" is a reference to the fact only seven players who were killers during Moose's reign as host are playing this round. Fourteen is the number of letters in my name. The poker chip is a reference to New Vegas also.

Herring: The numbers are a herring, they are the fibonacci sequence.

[SeeAMoose]

Alright, as promised, here's my take on Kore's Dummy Kill. I think that they're a better writer than they let on. Some people have floated the theory that Kore is a crappy writer trying to look like a better writer, I disagree. I tried cleaning up the grammar to see how much it would take to get it in reasonable shape.

It was a nice day at the gobl'inn. One would not think that death was about to fall upon its residents; soon to be former residents.
A man walked in, his face concealed behind a hood; not an uncommon occurrence in this place.
He had to find it, he had to find that book before he lost face in front of his peers. If he did not, the numerous lynching’s he heard had tell of that happened here would not be his only worry .

He booked a room for the week and then that night he awoke from his bed. He searched his room but could not find it.
He then went to the room next to his. In that room was a weary old man. He searched the room as quietly as he could, but the man awoke. alas I could not risk him seeing my face. I tried to kill him as quickly as I could, but he struggled as the nail plunged into his heart. The death throes of the man alerted the other residents. (More properly the last sentence should be something like: The man's death throes alerted the other residents.)

The changing perspectives are painful... but I'm not as concerned with those. There are a lot of errors in the kill, that much is clear, but looking at the nature of the errors, I am not convinced that they were accidental. Look at the way he uses "residents" two times in the same sentence, in the same context, but has one done properly and the other not. The same thing with "searched", the second time he used the word everything else in the sentence was properly in past tense. Then we come to the misspelled words and the use of certain words and phrases in other parts of the kills. The killer misspelled heard and heart, two very simple words. At the same time, they properly use a number of other words that are not commonly used. Specifically I am talking about using the words alas and death throes. Neither of those words is something one would expect to find used properly in a kill where the killer misspelled heard as hered. My last sentence brings me to the last tell, the use of one for a third person perspective. Often, when one sees a weaker academic or an informal writing sample in English, the writer uses you or we instead of impersonal words like one. The way the writer used the word one feels almost academic to me, if that makes any sense. To me, the mistakes don't look like they actually were mistakes. I'll do an analysis of the second kill later if people want.

I'll post my suspect list later after I refine it.

[Kide]

^^ It's nice to read the thread even if I am not in this game. But I would agree with Moose, at least to me the accidents in the kill don't seem natural at all...
And I like your kills theonewhoisodd, kind of a shame that you were caught in the very first round. But good luck to all. ^^

[Zathyra]

I agree to the moose. In the new kill we have again a wrong spelled heart . And i counted 3 times the word "searched". I have an idea, but nothing very proper yet. Got to think more about it.
