Goblin Serial Killer: Revenge of the Pointy Stick

I'll probably have to soon. I've only got a couple killers left.

I'll jump in again, but happy to wait if we're running out of killers.

I should probably get this started. If anybody doesn't want to play anymore, just say so and you'll be taken out of the list.

Well, it seems somebody has a grudge against the alphabet. Not only are they refusing to use it, they've killed one of the letters!

For those wondering about the line just below the kill, I discussed with the killer, and we decided it would be okay to give a little pointer as to how the kill works. So that was a note from me, not the killer, it shouldn't point directly to any player.

[Patdragon]

Will check this out later but looks like another 1 for 1 exchange. Possible that the last line is victim ....something.

[gamecreator]

It's pretty easy to decode. You just read the first letters in the codes:

---

I do not at all like smilies.
Look at the last letters of the first, sixth, tenth smilies and
add the letter C.

Victim: letter V.

---

The smilies mentioned:
Letters: A M E C

I don't know what the letters mean (except they all just happen to be in my username ) and I don't remember who doesn't like smilies.

[Synch]

I'm getting a Badge vibe, but not sure for now.

Abstain (Synch)

[thinkslogically]

I wonder if GC will be the next victim? Anyway, no idea right now so will also abstain.

Abstain (synch, thinks)

[BadgeAddict]

I Do Not at all Like Smiles
Look at the last letters of the first sixth tenth smilies and Add letter C

idea + tfacepalm + love + C?

or, is it, badly spelled, the first 16th letters (as in, count to 16, then count to 16, then..etc...the funny thing is that this comes out to be exactly 6 smilies counting from the first to the last.

Shudders + Love + Fumbles + Mustache + Creepy Eyebrows + Rant

S + E + S +E +S +T = ?meh....maybe that isn't correct, i dunno...

Here is a list of all of the last letters, regardless of coding.

A, D, S, A, S, M, W, M, W, E, E, E, A, K, S, R, E, A, E, A, S, R
E, S, S, K, W, M, M, R, S, E, W, R, M, E, S, M, M, S, T, R, S, S, M, R, S, S, A, T, R, M, R, A, X, M, R, M, S, A, M, R, R, E, A, E, A, S, R, W, A, D
W, D, D, M, R, S, E, S, M, M, S, T, Y
V, A, Y, M, A, E, E, S, M, M, S, T, V

Stripping out all duplicate letters = A, D, E, K, M, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y + C

[Nerre]

idea + tfacepalm + love + C?
ame+c

Acme? the next kill will be done by a 10 tons anvil falling down.

[BadgeAddict]

See my above post to see what I've done. If the last letters of words are truly important, then perhaps we can break the puzzle down into its core elements, this is what I've attempted to do.

Stripping out all duplicate letters = A, D, E, K, M, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y + C

1. gamecreator - Name cannot be spelled with available letters (Does have a C)
2. synch - Name cannot be spelled with available letters (Does have a C)
3. patdragon - Name cannot be spelled with available letters
4. quarg - Name cannot be spelled with available letters
5. thinkslogically - Name cannot be spelled with available letters (Does have a C)
6. BadgeAddict - Name cannot be spelled with available letters (Does have a C)
7. Tea
8. kida - Name cannot be spelled with available letters
9. Chuckdarighteous - Name cannot be spelled with available letters (Does have a C)

Using the Last letter elimination model as above then your suspect is Tea.
Going one step further, I looked through all of Tea's posts, not one smiley used, ever.
If the C does matter, then your suspects are (GameCreator, Synch, Thinkslogically, Badgaddict or ChuckDaRighteous)

1 - Tea (Badge)

[gamecreator]

Wait, Nerre? You are not playing, your text should be coloured.

I'm not liking Badge's logic. It strikes me as misleading.

1 - Tea (Badge)
1 - Badge (gamecreator)

[BadgeAddict]

I was the killer last time you dolt, and if anything this makes me suspicious of you.

[Patdragon]

hmm..not sure on this

Tea (badge)
1 - Badge (gamecreator)
Abstain (synch, thinks, Pat)

[gamecreator]

Badge, so what does prohibit you from being the killer now?
Also I always expect you to think I'm the killer. You said nothing new. And earlier I was even surpised you didn't blame me.

[BadgeAddict]

My logic,(for once) makes sense. If the clue is to look through the last letters, then what if you look at all of the last letters.

This gives you a list of these letters: A, D, E, K, M, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y + C

The clues tells us to add a C, is that a clue to the killer or a red herring?
Using your logic GC, AMEC only points to you as you are the only one of us who has those four letters in their name. You are the only person with an M in your name and I am trying to say that it isn't you, is that so crazy that I don't want to kill you off the bat?
Tea on the other hand is a tricky one and he likes his puzzles.

Yes, I know, as crazy as it sounds, I do not think that you are the killer GC, i think this is a very large red herring leading to you.

edit: I just noticed i forgot to add Addict on the end of my name and fixed my suspect of C list above.

[gamecreator]

...Wait, you weren't the killer last time!

[BadgeAddict]

mm, wait, your right..fine...two times ago...

I realize I'm making myself look really bad right now, so kill me if you want GC, but it isn't me...i have a very strong hunch that it is Tea

[Dlover]

I'd like to point out there's nothing stopping one person from being killer multiple times in a row. I'll obviously try to get a bit of diversity, to make things interesting, but there's no saying that I outright won't pick the same killer twice.

2 - Tea (badge, kida)
1 - Badge (gamecreator)
Abstain (synch, thinks, Pat)

[Quarg]

Okay...so i just wondered if i should add 3 to the letters rather than add a C at the end...
AME would become
DPH which makes no sense...
AMH?

Its Pat...
why...
Because I'm random that way...
