Day Five:

Retaliation:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Cultured Drizzt Fan drank some more wine. This time, he choked and died. But not from the wine.... from a paper cut that got infected.
splitpersonality was attacked by the serial killer. But Split was even more psychotic than him, and therefore he escaped.
Ichigo was ambushed, but he used his katana to defend himself successfully. His attacker scurried away.

Day Five Summary:

Cultured Drizzt Fan was killed.
All the other detectives survived.

Murders:

Kukrikhan was killed by the kookiest of khans.

The Serial Killer left a clue.

I'm a fiend like no other. Do your research!

[Beskar]

Capitalization makes a big difference.

[Csargo]

Arrest: therother

This guy fits perfectly.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Arrest: therother

This guy fits perfectly.

Ichigo is the winner. therother was the serial killer.

This time I have to believe it was not a random guess. Based on Ichigo's response, it must have been by the clues. A hard-won victory for the town, and a personal victory for Ichigo.

I made this one a bit more difficult, and I chose someone that I felt no one would guess immediately, or perhaps, even knew personally. I had run across therother in The Guild FAQ page, so he is a big name around here, or was at one point, I am sure. I didn't know him personally but he's a senior member, so I figured someone might have known him.

This time the clues were difficult to begin with. Explained:

Day One:

Orda Khan was sent back from whence he came. Only, you know, a little deader.

The Serial Killer left a clue.

I'm holding out for a hero. I have over 500 posts but less than 5000

H

Clues: almost everyone he kills has a mongolian avatar.
Over 500 posts but less than 5000
the word "hero"

therother has a mongolian avatar.
The postcount is obvious.
The word "hero"

Ok, the word hero makes this one solvable on the first round. Go to the members list and do a search for "hero". The only one with a mongolian avatar is therother. The only one with a postcount of 500-5000 is therother. Well except for Theronin.

Chances of solving this one on the first round were very good, but only if you did that search.

Day Two Summary:

Tratorix died.
Beskar died.
The other detectives survived.

Murders:

Gobbledygook was mortally wounded, but when he tried to call out for help, no one understood him.
Malik of Sindh was trampled by elephants before he could call a jihad.
Wladyslaw IV had his heart and viscera torn out and interred in the Chapel of St. Casimir of Vilnius Cathedral.

The Serial Killer left a clue.

I'd love to play tag, but I can only do it on this table.

O

Table tag.

If you do a yahoo search for "the guild table tag" the first entry is this thread, and the third post is by therother.

All those being killed have a mongolian avatar.

Day Three Summary:

A Very Super Market died.
atheotes died.
Centurion1 was not attacked.
The other detectives survived.

Murders:

Yaseikhaan was about to change his name one more time, but he was taken down by his evil twin.
Baba Ga'on was buried up to his head in sand and the fire ants ate him alive.
R'as al Ghul was plotting the destruction of Gotham city, but he died in a train crash.
Kongamato.... the principle that occurred to him was death, indeed.
Lehesu was pushed into a soy processing machine. It was not a very healthy alternative.
Louis de la Ferte Ste Colombe was cannibalized by a bunch of tiny smurfs.
Al Khalifah was slain, his head placed atop a wooden stick, and became the lord of the flies.
Cebei died when a desk fell on him.
master of the puppets was very agitated by his own death. He never made it to the spin cycle.

The Serial Killer left a clue.

One of these victims is not like the other. You should be able to tell which one.

R

Yaseikhaan was taken down by his evil twin. Yaseikhaan and therother have the exact same avatar.

"the other" almost matches "therother".

One of these victims is not like the other: one of the victims has an egyptian avatar, all the others have a mongolian avatar.

Day Four Summary:

spL1tp3r50naL1ty survived.
All the other detectives survived.

Murders:

Abokasee was destroyed by the Bartixian hordes. Also a thing that replaces the ram but fires fire.
Krasturak wasn't sleeping in a coffin tonight, but he will be tomorrow.
Productivity won't be very productive anymore.
russia almighty was making brownies when his oven exploded.
Raz has an interesting life, o_O but also an interesting death.
shingenmitch2 was killed by THE DEADLY SHINGEN.
dopp confiscated a sword right into his stomach. It hurt a little bit.
Wolfman was torn apart by a wolf, man.
Crash crashed.
the man with no name also had no pulse.

The Serial Killer left a clue.

My name is almost double. I'm running out of victims... one of these folks is not like the other.

T

Almost all of the remaining mongolian avatar users died this day. I seriously was running down to the low hundreds in post count to find more. The man with no name was the one who was not like the others.

My name is almost double. otherother.... therother. Running out of victims refers to the number of mongolian avatar users left.

Day Five Summary:

Cultured Drizzt Fan was killed.
All the other detectives survived.

Murders:

Kukrikhan was killed by the kookiest of khans.

The Serial Killer left a clue.

I'm a fiend like no other. Do your research!

E

Letters so far: O, T, H, E, R

Kukrikhan is one of therother's friends.

Kookiest of khans... khan refers to Yaseikhaan, kookiest would be therother... Khaan's evil twin, basically. Kind of a stretch but it's there.

Finally: therother's title is "Research fiend".

Solved by Ichigo in 5 days.

Clear victory. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

However, 5 detectives died, and a massive amount of victims fell to therother.

[Splitpersonality]

*Applause*

Congrats ichigo!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Feel free to continue to congratulate our Detective Ichigo. However, round three begins.

Day One:

Hosakawa Tito was burned to death by fire, and then frozen in ice.

The Serial Killer has left a clue:

I have over 4,000 posts, and I will bring my three dogs against you.

[Csargo]

Will you use similar clues as last round or change them up every round?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Will you use similar clues as last round or change them up every round?

With each successful arrest, some of the clue types will change. However, the one thing that will remain stable is the letter clues. Even if you fail to understand all the other clues, the letters basically give you a piece of their name anyway. The objective being to figure out the name before everyone else, and so the harder clues will yield the name sooner, but will be more difficult to solve.

I also try to make the puzzle solvable on day one, but very difficult.

Arrest: Ser Clegane

Iskander 3.1 is the winner. Ser Clegane was the serial killer.

Day One:

Hosakawa Tito was burned to death by fire, and then frozen in ice.

The Serial Killer has left a clue:

I have over 4,000 posts, and I will bring my three dogs against you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_h...#House_Clegane

House Clegane

House Clegane is sworn to House Lannister. The first Ser Clegane was kennelmaster at Casterly Rock until he saved Lord Tytos Lannister from a lion and lost a leg in the effort. As a reward, Lord Tytos gave him lands and a towerhouse and took his son as his squire. Their sigil is three dogs on a yellow field; the three dogs represent the dogs that saved Lord Tytos.

Ser Clegane is a character in George R. R. Martin's series A Song of Ice and Fire.

I did not know this myself, I have no clue what is in these stories. However, it's a fantasy series set on the fictional continent of Westeros. I might assume some of you are aware of this series, even though I was not. Just a little bit of digging on the web, YAHOO SEARCH "Ice fire three dogs" leads to entry number 7, which is Sandor Clegane. That should have cinched it, even if you were unaware of the series, as long as you know fire, ice, and three dogs were clues. GOOGLE SEARCH "ice fire three dogs" leads to entry number 6, which is House Clegane.

My zeal to make it solvable on the first round appears to have backfired. Even random guessing would give you reasonable odds on solving this one, I didn't check to see how relatively few members there were with over 4,000 posts. I'll have to increase the difficulty.

Congratulations Iskander 3.1 for solving it on round one.

PERFECT SCORE

No detectives died, and only one casualty. Excellent. Time to start round four...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Day One:

Leet Eriksson was killed by a bag of pearls flung at high velocity.

The Serial Killer left a clue:

Does the number ten mean anything to you? I have between 1,000 and 5,000 posts.

Accuse: Tincow

Arrest: Avicenna

[Beskar]

RIP Louis VI the Fat.

[Double A]

Oh god, I should have known that!

[Askthepizzaguy]

By the way, if you died in a previous round, you're alive now, to face the new serial killer. Just thought I should reiterate that.

[Beefy187]

Congratulations Iskander

And Ichigo for the previous round

Accuse beefy187

Just getting that out of my way
