Re: Goblin Serial Killer 2 - The next level

Post by Patdragon » Sat Aug 09, 2014 4:11 am

Ok on first check through I have found every ones name in parts except no sign of gamecreator and doublefried perhaps because they were dead.
I found killed by cleaving, the same clues as game.
The shorten five hint could refer to the 5 other names that were shortened? eg. me, odd, jib, chuck and badge (not sure if dave counts as was the victim). so that could either indicate one of us or reference we are safe, doesn't lean one way or the other.
Also there appears to be hint code, that backs up gamecreators theory of something happening in the file names.
As for the clue thoughts not quite sure where to go with that.

Dummy round, first kill, second kill. That's three.
My game:
Hunters of Letrua; Character list
Also Player / Monster stats, skill lists.

My characters:
Tugs Tails, the goblin that was sort of a trapper and wears a bear's tail at his neck, for some reason - Lair of the Mountain King (Run by Thinks)
Alex Sparo, A city boy, poor of sight, who has learned to manipulate people and make the most of what he, and others, have - Trinity Isles (Run by Mort)
Mehriv Turajin, a Noble Dragonborn Sorcerer sent from his clan because he wasn't dragony enough. - The Wandering Archipelago (Run by Thinks)

Behold.
Apparently the killer stopped obsessing with vertical lines.
Player names in this one: Badge, Synch, Davecom (as victim), Pat, Dlover (currently the host), Kelten.
Clues can mean anything.
Also there are words "foot" and "rush" near "serial", and "dude" in the upper right corner. They may or may not be accidental.

But this is the turn with the second kill. It's not over yet.

Hmm... Yes. Yes it is. Right, Odd and Jib are still alive, and I'm just bad at counting. Which isn't a surprise.

words I found right off:

Hint shorten five, Clue thoughts, Victim dave, Pointy, Serial, Herring, Bloody, Host, Murder, Box, killer

Ok the two that stand out to me: Hint shorten five and host

This is the second round we've seen host show up. Could it be Dlover?

I also take shorten five to mean five fewer letters in the name. If they're referring to badgeaddicts 11 character name, the killer has 6. So that would narrow the list to:
Jibjib, kelten, and Dlover.

So my current theory is Dlover unless someone else can confirm they submitted a dummy kill, I got lazy this round.

You missed STICK and DUCKY at the bottom, COM leading from DECOY, and BOX up top, gamecreator. I saw MORD in two kills, but not in the DUMMY KILL so I'm not sure that's a clue leading to Kelten.

Yeah, sorry. My allergy was more acute, not good for thinking. :(

Chuck, if you continue to ignore everyone else's posts, they might think you are trying to cause confusion because you are the killer.

Also missed CHUCK and RIGHTEOUS which both slant up-right.

No, there is no "chuck" there. I double checked for his name specifically.

WHO is out there, too, soo probably all the tiny word parts are. Yep, Odd's name is all there divided into tiny words. And if the key is to decode the letters between words, it would havee been nice if the killer had given some semblance of a word list. Not that we'd probably solve it.

Wait a sec ignore people's posts? Did I miss something? Pat and I latched onto the same clue, but had different theories on what it meant.

For being unusually active, for ignoring other peoples clues and mixing statements. For being named Chuck, and for being the child of a Djinn. For playing a game that uses the same picture site as the killer uses.

Yah, im voting for Chuck again

1 - Synch (Jib)
2 - Chuck (Synch, kelten)
1 - Dlover (chuck)

Wow, if that's what people are using as clues we truly are doomed to let the killer win this round. Well I guess there's no convincing you guys.

I'd advise caution. Often enough the Killer will wait to vote until they can be certain neither they nor their night target is going down or vote to decrease the probability of such. Currently, Synch has consistently voted against the one who ends up lynched while kelten has consistently voted after Synch, who often has delayed voting for most of the day. This may raise the probability of either being the Killer. That said, I'm not sure there is time to act on that thought tonight. And it's not necessarily as good as finding a clue.

Keep in mind time zone and schedule differences. I know from playing with him in the GAL that synch generally won't be on till later. Not to mention he was the first one to vote for me this round.

Anyone notice odd hasn't posted at all despite being on? Perhaps letting us all point fingers at each other? Also shorten five could mean his name shortened and split into 5 words?

I swear every time I look at these clues I see a different way to interpret them. The killer is definitely going to win this round. I definitely want to see how these clues were meant to be interpreted once this is over.

That's a tactic which is highly frowned upon, you know. Also one which doesn't work because he'd die for not voting.
My game:
Hunters of Letrua; Character list
Also Player / Monster stats, skill lists.

My characters:
Tugs Tails, the goblin that was sort of a trapper and wears a bear's tail at his neck, for some reason - Lair of the Mountain King (Run by Thinks)
Alex Sparo, A city boy, poor of sight, who has learned to manipulate people and make the most of what he, and others, have - Trinity Isles (Run by Mort)

Considering Dlover had no problem killing him and Jib this turn without ending the game, we can say they are certainly not the killer. Besides they don't fit another clues. Between you, Synch and Pat, you are the most likely suspect, because your name can be shortened to 5 characters.

And yet its not. Also would you think I would I'd still be trying to puzzle it out even though its far too late to save myself if I was the killer? But I've been staring at those clues far too long to make anymore sense of them.
