Whoa, someone voted for me? I agreed to play in this round since I thought I might be able to follow the rules once I sat down and figured them out, but boy was I wrong. I'm way beyond the point of being too to even guess at who the killer is. Although I suppose this passage from Reservoir Dogs is appropriate to the situation:
what date/time do the polls close? i'm gonna do some sleuthing tonight, when i have some spare moments from setting my fantasy draft order.
Actually, we might be able to work out a plea bargain if you would be willing to give me the secret recipe for "Crabbie Patties".
Here is my last minute report. I didn't have time to go back through previous murders to look for patterns, etc so here is what I found for this round. Not suspected: Its definitely not Warthog. Its not Tayshaun. Possible suspect, but didn't post potential piston-related word (either WALLACE or CAMPBELL) Hack - only one potential post containing 'roster and 'drafting' Low - only one potential post containing 'ranking, season, conference' Prof - multiple potential posts containing an array of basketball words Dumars - multiple potential posts containing array of basketball words including a suspiciously bogus story about a car stereo, slyly filled with basketball-related words such as 'CD player' and 'Triple A' Darth - a zillion potential posts but couldn't find any, believe it or not, with either piston-related word Possible suspect, with posts containing potential piston-related word (either WALLACE or CAMPBELL) Lurker - only one potential post containing 'WALLACE, CAMPBELL and other basketball words' as pointed out already. Aurora - two posts containing 'WALLACE' and a myriad of basketball words such as fan, title, team, players, offense, defense, rebounds, and post Jammer - one post containing 'WALLACE' but with long-shot words in the same post, 'free throw' and 'second' All 3 had other basketball-related word posts without the pistons-related word. So.... Not a great deal to go on. Could be almost anyone still. This would require going back through previous murders but its just too big of a job. If anyone wishes to use this data and go back, be my guest. Time is running out though. On my hunch I reckon I could narrow it down to either PROF, DUMARS, DARTH, and LURKER. Giving benefit of doubt to Aurora for her sleuthing abilities. We need more detectives around. Hmm, so I guess my choice based on circumstantial evidence is....
Oops . . . you left out yourself, there webz. I think it's time to remind everyone that your signature is full of murder words, including a possible Pistons word. You're incriminating yourself every time you post.
Lurker: I asked Slippy about signatures a couple of rounds ago. He told me that they don't count. It makes sense because a person can kill with his signature and then make it disappear forever two hours later. So signatures are outside the field of play. Webz: Aurora also did an extensive search last night and early into the morning hours. It basically produced the results yours did. My search was not quite as thorough yours and Auroras, but Lurker had the most suspicious post I could find.
The Prime Suspect is Lurker IMO. Maverick murder post cluewords: defensively games rebounding scoring Majestic murder post: defensively rebounds Campbell Wallace (Pistons words) However why would Lurker use all three of the cluewords in the Majestic murder post? Hmmm...maybe to taunt us? These serial killers like you to notice and admire their work.
[SIGN]WRONG!![/SIGN] Congratulations, murderer(s). You will survive yet another round of hangings. The game continues.
The group dragged Lurker kicking and screaming to the LMCBO. "You guys don't have a clue what you are doing!!" cried Lurker. "What do you mean...murderer!!!" "Me? I make one post and I get hanged for it." "What do you expect with a name like...Lurker!!!" "But I post all the time!" "A-ha!! So you admit your guilt!" Lurker knelt down. "Now I see the errors of my ways...how errant justice is not justice but the prosecution of the disabused. Let my charred flesh nourish the minds of those that remain so that they may chose...nay, cherish the responsibility of rock solid evidence." "I'm more of a pork rinds kind of guy. Now where is that can of duck fat?" And so it was that Lurker paid for the murder of Majestik and the group, fat and happy, debated posting more about Darko.
