Badge, just pointing out that everyone's full name is there. There's JIBJIB, DAVECOMTHREE and THEONEWHOISODD. Your heory is still sound though, as Davecom3 intercepts with Odd's name at the letter O, also found in gamecreator.

I've been finding some other words too. From left to right GOBLIN CRUSHED GIFTBOX KILLER TROWEL LAUGHTER VICTIMDUMMYKILL and MYSTERIOUS down the bottom. Can't find SERIAL though.

Also found STALL and BREED, not sure if they're intended though.

Gamecreator has also been crushed by the trowel.

Let's see.

Reading Vertically: Clue Goblin, Crushed, Gift Box, Patdragon, Fed?, Killer, Trowel, Chuck Da Righteous, Host, Theonewhoisodd, Decoy, DoubleFried, No clue, Clued, Bed Slaughter, Victim Dummy Kill, BadgeAddict FYI.

Reading Horizontally: Gamecreator, Synch, Tushed Rub? Bib? Kelten, Stall, Hog, Breed, Has, Rod, Eel, Tat, Tepid, Gel Boo, Boo, Doo, Murder, Mysterious

Reading /: Gel, Gut, Lab, The, Roc, Gut, Led, Red Herring, Citizen, Jibjib, Huh, Davecomthree, Dye, Bull, Maul, Bog, Doo, Coo

Reading \: Ducky, Home, Dit, Thy, Dig Lea, Logo, Gee, Lee, The, Add, Chin, Tee,

Shoot, Paste didn't copy it all, but with the plentitude of words like Stall, No Clue, Red Herring, and Decoy, I'd suggest that perhaps our killer has hidden his kill clues in some other way entirely. Anybody want to apply Google Goggles to the thread or have some other idea how our killer might have hidden his clues? It also may be notable that there is one name not found in the diagram, Dlover.

Don't forget chuckDARIGHTEOUS which when added to the mix adds and intersected T which still fits the theory

Here is what I found.
There is a notable word "djinn", right after the word "clue". The first thing that comes to mind is the game named D'jinn Keeper. People, who played it and this round, are:
1. Synch - nothing notable on the chart
2. gamecreator - appears in the biggest cluster along with Chuck, Pat and pretty much every other non-name
3. Patdragon - the same, also appears in the sub-cluster of vertical words along with "gift box", "crushed", "trowel", "killer" and the word "stall" across them all
4. BadgeAddict - nothing notable except possible "FYI"
5. ChuckDaRighteous - also intersects with "red herring", "murder" and "mysterious"
I didn't include the word "breed" because I have not found it important. It has no connection to this game and doesn't show anything interesting in the search through D'jinn Keeper game thread.
Now about all that "crushed" thing. That round Badge was one of the killers and killed Patdragon on the turn of trowel activation.
There is also "clue goblin". I believe that would be a reference to a game character.

I can go on and on about this: "trowel" intersects with "red herring"; Davecom intersects with "murder", but not with "red herring"; go through people who weren't playing D'jinn Keeper etc etc...
But I won't. I made up my mind, the killer is Badge. He was playing in D'jinn Keeper, killed Pat when trowel killed everyone else, is playing GAL and made up that weird theory about letters in names.

3 - gamecreator (Badge, Synch, Chuck)
1 - Badge (gamecreator)

P.S.: I'm not going to tell you any clues after this round is over.

Oh no, i am talking about you.

For a person who typically keeps to themselves and posts clues that are 1 maybe 2 sentences...this is the most eye-opening, longwinded "clue" that you've ever come up with.

I find your current tactics to be an attempt at misdirection when you find yourself in the cross-hairs. Similar to how Jib acted.

So, out of curiousity, gamecreator, why did you find "bed" so interesting? You would not have marked it along with several other words you didn't mark unless you found it worthwhile. And you didn't find Citizen or Ducky worth crossing out when they are roles in the game?

That's because I've finally found a puzzle and not some word search quest or a bunch of unknown references from threads I don't read or don't even remember. And the part of the kill leading to clues is quite obvious (find words in the grid).

Nothing in particular. Maybe I was biased after reading your post. While just "slaughter" doesn't say much, "bed slaughter" on the other hand sounds like some important clue (based on all weird stuff people use for clues).

Oh well, maybe people will be less ignorant next turn. It's not like being a ghost would hinder me from analyzing the next kill for you.

I think it's one of 4 people.

Gamecreator, Jib and Doublefried were all crushed. All the interesting letters feature in Davecomthree or Gamecreator's name. That's my 4 suspects.

I still think people need to check for alternate clues, which I can't do with my PS3. Don't have a Playstation Eye and have never had an ihterest in doing a picture kill, really think I never will. And I'm well aware that people are much more lenient with character numbers in picture kills, which Dlover has admitted that our killer was not. We'll soon know if Odd is even a possibility as he hasn't been on since Sunday, but I'm relatively sure it's a newer killer than myself unless it's Dlover himself, which seems like it could become more likely if the killer continues to hide the victim tag..

I don't think there's anything more hidden. We've been given the CLUE DJINN, of which 5 people have played (including me), the word CRUSHED is there, and of the 5 Djinn Keeper players only gamecreator was crushed. Also, all the intersecting letters with people's names are found in his name. Def not changing my vote, but I'm going to be slightly more confused if gamecreator isn't the killer. Then I'd have to open it up to all Djinn players, or else look at Jib and DoubleFried who were crushed.

There are enough words in that kill that basically call mislead that I'm not so sure the real clues are hidden within the puzzle. We've had people hide things in Google Goggles before, and it seems nobody has looked into my suggestion to check. Also, is this picture one that can be followed back to an url? Is there anything there that indicates our killer if so?

I did check it out... only interesting thing i found was that the uploaded file was named Word_Search_Killer_A, and the killer used http://postimage.org/ to upload it.

hmm... that may actually be a lead... NewOneAround is one of the few people who uses that site, mainly in Kobold Mine... And ChuckDaRighteous is the only-one here that plays Kobold Mine.
...and he is playing a D'jinn-born orc in Kobold Mine, and we do have the word djinn in there as well

To be fair, all of you are savages, and the moment anybody says anything after somebody has raised suspicion about them - no matter what the cause of that suspicion is, even if there's no reason - then it's just declared as the frantic scramblings of a killer.
