Serial Killer Game [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

All right, attempting to make it more difficult.

Day One:

Warmaster Horus died.

The Serial killer left behind a copy of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

No post count clue.


Added Rules:

For arrests to count, you must correctly ID something I intended to be a clue, (besides the letter clues) in the way it was intended, and state that as evidence during your arrest.

For now, accusations will not require a case.

[Chaotix]

Hrmm.... Since I'm here now...

I'll go out on a limb and Accuse: Ibn-Khaldun.

I figure the connection with WH as well as the Greek mythology reference might have something to do with him.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

You know that this is someone not playing this game?

I may be not very active but I'm still following it!
So, I am not Serial Killer/Mafia!

[johnhughthom]

And there's no e in his name...

[Chaotix]

And there's no e in his name...

That's very true!

Un-accuse: Ibn.

[Askthepizzaguy]

useful, those letter clues...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Nudge


Remember, rounds without accusations result in automatic Serial Killer win. As per updated (harder) rules.

Take a wild shot.

[Chaotix]

Accuse: Elite Ferret

To keep the game going.

[johnhughthom]

Accuse: Aemilius Paulus

Russian living in US.

Day Two:

Retaliation:

All the detectives survived.

Day Two Murders:

Sol Invictus died.
Thor the Bassist died.

The Serial killer left behind a copy of O Brother, Where Art Thou?

[Double A]

Since they haven't left any clues, I'm assuming it's because they're a lazy perosn.

accuse: Double A even though its technically impossible

[Death is yonder]

The clues are all pointing to Greek Mythology, but who?

The latest clue is a reference to Homer's Odyssey, and the earlier one a reference to Greek Mythology.

Kills:

First round Kill: Warmaster Horus, Egyptian God of Sky, and the God of War

Second Round Kill: Sol Invictus (Roman Sun God), and Thor (Norse god of Thunder).

So... no idea

[Ferret]

Arrest: Alexander the Pretty Good

My reasoning: has e and p in name, related to greek mythology even if he was real, and most of all ATPG loves him because he is also ATPG

[Askthepizzaguy]

Day Three:

Retaliation:

All the detectives survived.

Day Three Murders:

Asmodeus died.
El Diablo died.
Death the destroyer of worlds died.

The Serial killer left behind a copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Arrest: spL1tp3r50naL1ty

[Askthepizzaguy]

State your reasoning, Ibn-Khaldun. If you would please.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

1)Letter clues: o, p, e.
He has them all.

2) Killing these "mythology" and "god" related users shows his .. eem .. split personality?

3) Also, I haven't seen him playing this game. At least not the last few or I am just too blind

[Edit: 4) And just random guess...]

[Renata]

/in

arrest: Proserpine

Letters fit, connection to Greek mythology and the underworld (clues about death, devil, etc). I can't really fit the Goblet of Fire clue, though -- I was thinking that Proserpina/Persephone was trapped in the Underworld when she drank something there, but Googling it says it was actually pomegranate seeds. But anyway. Worth a try!

[Splitpersonality]

Technically my name is "spL1tp3r50naL1ty"

No O's, no E's.


I've been here, but unable to really attempt any cracks at this game for a few rounds, I hope you guys don't miss me too much :P

[Askthepizzaguy]

Day Four:

Retaliation:

Renata died.
All the other detectives survived.

Day Four Murders:

Dionysus9 died.
Fate died.
Beelzebub died.
Loki died.

Warning: Victim pool getting low.

The Serial killer complained that his liver felt like it was being devoured.

[johnhughthom]

Arrest: Omanes Alexandrapolites

He's a demi-mod apparently, something like a demi-god who may want to kill fully fledged gods... OK all I really got is the letters fit.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Day Five:

Retaliation:

Johnhughthom survived an attack.

Day Five Murders:

Leviathan Darklycute died.
Cyclops died.
pevergreen died.
shlin28 died.
Lord Winter died.

Warning: Victim pool is gone! Detectives are being murdered now!

The Serial Killer's favorite WWE superstar is Mankind. He might consider our serial killer to be the true champion.

[Csargo]

Fate died.

All hope is lost. :O

Arrest: PROMETHEUS

Gave Mankind fire. Had his liver eaten by crows everyday. All letters fit.

[Askthepizzaguy]

All hope is lost. :O

Arrest: PROMETHEUS

Gave Mankind fire. Had his liver eaten by crows everyday. All letters fit.

Csargo is correct.

PROMETHEUS was the Serial Killer. Congratulations, Inspector Csargo!

And now onto the clue explanations.

All right, attempting to make it more difficult.

Day One:

Warmaster Horus died.

The Serial killer left behind a copy of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

The first victim was Warmaster Horus... Horus is a god in Egyptian mythology. The theme would be mythological deities/beings.

The Serial killer clue "Atlas Shrugged" compounded the mythological deity theme, and indicated that the Serial killer would be a mythological deity in name. As such, there were very few potential suspects.

Atlas was one of the sons of Iapetus, the brother of Prometheus. Given the clues, it was plausible to suggest PROMETHEUS as the Serial killer on the first round, but it would have been perhaps the most fitting candidate out of many, not really a slam dunk. I would suggest that any solving of the case on this round would be due more to a lucky guess than a conclusive case.

Day Two:

Retaliation:

All the detectives survived.

Day Two Murders:

Sol Invictus died.
Thor the Bassist died.

The Serial killer left behind a copy of O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Here, two more gods died, indicating that the SK was a god.

O Brother Where Art Thou indicates "brother" which, combined with the first clue, gives you the brother of Atlas, one of whom was Prometheus. Solving the case on this round was very possible.

Day Three:

Retaliation:

All the detectives survived.

Day Three Murders:

Asmodeus died.
El Diablo died.
Death the destroyer of worlds died.

The Serial killer left behind a copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Three more gods died. Death (in mythology, Death is a god) El Diablo (the Devil, a kind of evil god) and Asmodeus, king of the demons.

Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire would indicate fire in this context. Prometheus is said to have given mankind the gift of fire, in Greek myth.

Brother of Atlas, god, fire ===> Prometheus.

Day Four:

Retaliation:

Renata died.
All the other detectives survived.

Day Four Murders:

Dionysus9 died.
Fate died.
Beelzebub died.
Loki died.

Warning: Victim pool getting low.

The Serial killer complained that his liver felt like it was being devoured.

4 more gods died, and my victim pool was down to a couple.

Liver being devoured was actually solvable by Google search. "liver being devoured", third entry "Prometheus". Then it was a question of checking the database for a member called Prometheus, of which there are three, but only one with just the name.

Day Five:

Retaliation:

Johnhughthom survived an attack.

Day Five Murders:

Leviathan Darklycute died.
Cyclops died.
pevergreen died.
shlin28 died.
Lord Winter died.

Warning: Victim pool is gone! Detectives are being murdered now!

The Serial Killer's favorite WWE superstar is Mankind. He might consider our serial killer to be the true champion.

Prometheus gave the fire to man, and was a champion of mankind. Inactive detectives bit the dust first.

4 detectives died and the entire victim pool was destroyed. However, the Serial Killer was arrested in 5 days, and the case was solved by Csargo. Congratulations!


Marginal town victory, personal victory for Csargo.

Before I forget, Renata solved this one just after she died. But she wanted others to have a chance to solve it, and she couldn't win the game at that point.

Do we still have people interested in playing?

[johnhughthom]

Well played Csargo.

[Csargo]

I R WINRAR!!!

I'm still playing obviously. I was kind of put off by having to give reasons for arresting people though. It does take away from the random guessing, but I for one enjoy accusing other people of murdering other people with no real reasoning. YOUR ALL MURDERS IN MY BOOK. EVER LAST ONE OF YOU. I'M THE ONLY INNOCENT ONE! *walks away covered in blood*

[johnhughthom]

Do we still have people interested in playing?

Despite the fact I couldn't possibly have been further from solving that, yes.

[A Very Super Market]

I got distracted for a bit, but will probably be more active this time. Any game without PMs would be a godsend, frankly.

[Splitpersonality]

I AM playing, I'm just quite bad at it :(

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I am still followingplaying this game.
