The Scourge of Ephesus [Concluded]

Well, dammit. I must apologize for missing not one, but two day phases and lynchings. I've been really busy with school lately, and just keeping up with the insane amount of posts when possible has left me with no time to formulate a theory and vote afterwards...

I will strive to be more active from now on. Right now, ATPG actually seems kind of scummy to me, although he's supposedly confirmed his own innocence by his inactivity.

I dunno, something about his argument with GH made him seem noticeably different from his other games- perhaps his lack of truly solid points?

Right now, theres hardly any solid points. Only solid thing which could lead us to the guilty is probably the possibility of hints in the write ups (the statues) and posting style which should start getting more obvious in later rounds.

I myself am starting to find ATPG extremely suspicious...and I am not sure why...something in his posts...

So, what do y'all want to know about the statues?

Anything. If its even worth investigating into the statues. If you can find a possible link to the murders, that will be great

The image is of a Statue known as the "Beautiful Artemis," as opposed to the "Great Artemis," both of which would be found at the museum. There were many copies of this statue found.

The original version would have been Ionian, from around 550 BCE (before common era), but was destroyed, later reproduced, and destroyed again.

This particular one would have been a later production, as you can tell by the more refined styling. Likely 1st century CE (common era).

"The Great Artemis" has a larger head dress, and is from about a century later.

The "Temple of Artemis" was considered to be one of the Ancient Wonders of the world, and is one of the main reasons people flock to Ephesus, as a tourist destination.

The two creatures at her side are felines, similar to imagery of Cybele.

The many ball shaped object are thought to be: breasts, bull testicles, or possibly eggs. This design element can be traced back to the Geometric period (approx. 900-700 BCE).

Okay I'm caught up. Just for clarification, I asked to be taken out but Andres PM'd me giving me a WOG free week I'll be active from now on.

Pizza is diffidently drawing my suspicions. He started out with a fairly apathetic stance daring the mafia to kill him. Day III though he turns around and blindly drives at GH, only yielding when it appears he's safe. Merits closer attention.

Woah ...

Sorry about not participating at a crucial point in the game yesterday.

Good to see others making sure that GH was not lynched. I too got an obscure PM from Andres on the first night about listening to a boring old man.
I didn't know what to make of it, but now I know.
