I set up Incognito and this will be a continuation of the old round with the current cops. For the next round, cops will have their own accounts (Sherlock Holmes, Perry Mason, etc). In the meantime... who was left? Black marks? Dain, SoP, AD...?

Glad to be back from my long vacation. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever find a new home to continue my killing spree  :twisted:. Anyway here is a short recap. We have 3 cops remaining. Special AgentDrake, Officer DainIronfoot, and the clerk at the evidence room SOP. Both DainIronfoot and SOP have 1 arrest each and AGentDrake's record is still clean. DainIronfoot falsely arrested NBarden, and SOP falsely arrested Thranduil.

I will continue exactly where I was so rudely interrupted. Same clue same timeline. Here you have it.

If I remember correctly a note was left by me for the cops it read.

"I've chosen my next victim wisely this time. Quitters never win I've seen. Bigger people
finish first. Just try to solve this or zip your lips. Keep them shut."


There are a few things missing in my note. Find them and find my victim. You have 48 hours.

There are a few things missing in my note. Find them and find my victim. You have 48 hours.

Alright, so he's back. :twisted:

First thing I notice: "I've" is a contraction, leaving out the letters "HA" in " I HAVE." Are those the missing things?
I don't know how that helps, though. We have neither an HA or an AH abbreviated member.



Or....

....Hahahahaha.....

I barricade myself in the police station, surrounded by landmines and automated machine guns. (AKA, I protect me.) The only two letters not in the clue are A and D.

EDIT: And hey, could we get this stickied, Kralik or Dain? Pretty Please?
Title: Assassin Game - Round 1

Heh. It didn't even occur to me that "Hahahahaha" was all HA's. I just typed that in after noticeing that there was both an X and a Z in the clue, then thinking "The quick grey fox...."
So I thought it was funny. There was no pun intended.

Post by: Incognito on June 07, 2008, 05:56:38 AM
I crept up to the door of the police station with my AK in hand ready to end the story of one AgentDrake. I looked through the glass doors of the police station and to my surprise Special AgentDrake had barricaded himself inside. Surrounded by automatic weapons and half uncovered landmines I decided not to risk it this time.

AgentDrake has been saved.

Before returning to the place I call home a wrote a quick note to the cops and taped it to the doors.

"OK. You are saved for now special AgentDrake, but I will be returning for you and your band of merry men. I will not rest until I have your head on my mantle next to your departed partners on the force.

My next victim and clue will be arriving shortly, until then catch me if you can.

Sorry I didn't so much as say anything this round, boys, but I figured Drake had it nailed. I meant to at least say something indicating that, but...uh...forgot. :-[

Good show, Drake! :mrgreen:

And to the killer, know this: we shall find you! Because justice is justice, and Fwance...is Fwance!

...wait, what did I just say? ???

Upon my arrival at my vacation destination a thought came over me, When in India do as the ceremonial Indians do. So I grabbed a chariot and took a tour of the country. After hours and hours of mind-cramping sight seeing I decided it was time to kill the creator of these Indian chariots. You have approximately 48 hours to save my victim since that is roughly the time it will take me to get back to the place I rented the dreadful contraption from :twisted:

Someone associated with chariots...Indian ones, specifically. Hmmm.
Title: Assassin Game - Round 1
Post by: AgentDrake on June 11, 2008, 02:50:51 PM
BINGO!

I protect Rathmaker.

The Indian word for "chariot" is Ratha.
Someone who makes Ratha could be said to be a "Rathmaker," though I'm sure it's somewhat incorrect gramatically.

EDIT: Though I must admit, I almost pity Incog this time. Almost.

You know, I stumbled across that too and STILL didn't put two and two together. Bravo!

We've still got until tomorrow, so I'm going to see if I can think of any other logical choices, but I haven't come across anything else nearly as promising yet.
Title: Assassin Game - Round 1
Post by: sickofpalantirs on June 12, 2008, 09:40:51 AM
the question is, why kill a random member...Ooo we get an identity clue now... :hey: :clown:
Title: Assassin Game - Round 1
Post by: Incognito on June 12, 2008, 03:41:38 PM
Well it appears that Special AgentDrake has fouled up my killing once again. I will need to find a way to get rid of this pest and quick.

As for the random killing it was done because I need more time to get ready for the next, that and it appears when I set the bomb off at CC I killed more people than intended and all but a few active survivors made it to this camp :twisted:.

I arrived back at the chariot rental with all the intentions of taking the life of one Rathmaker. To my surprise, Rathmaker was was talking to Special AgentDrake and Officer DainIronfoot. Even more surprising the clerk of the evidence room SoP made the international trip to help prevent this killing. I quickly hid away my pistol and approached the four. I asked them what was going on and they told me a killer was on the loose and I need to vacate the area. While walking away I had a few good chuckles to myself and slid off undetected.

Upon returning to their squad car an 'N' was keyed into the side of it.

A few days had past now and I decided it was time to get my next kill. As I approached the door of the department to drop off the letter I glanced at my watch. It was Ten O'clock, and I had other business to attend to so I slid the letter under the police department door and went on my way.

My next target has been in on this all along. One awful person is he. They helped kill Mr. Lurtzy and I don't trust killers who need convincing to kill. I will be making a hasty visit to this betrayer of cops. You can either choose to protect him or let him die for what he has done to a fellow officer. The choice is yours to make, but be careful about your choices people aren't always who they appear to be :twisted:. 

You have 48 hours to make your decision.

Actually....

Quote
As the cops were running around trying to uncover the hidden bullets, I made a call to lem0nhead’s cell. I gave him the location of his bullets. He already knew the location as he hid them early to protect himself from me. He ran to the location of the bullets and quickly loaded a single round into the chamber of his pistol. He walked back to confront the cops. MR. Lurtzy was the first to be noticed by lem0nhead. Mr. Lurtzy approached him asking him to think about what he was asked to do and that the police could protect him. "Yeah like you protected my *$# the first time right." The gun was raised and a single shot fired into MR. Lurtzy’s skull. The remaining officers rushed in after hearing the shot. The quickly dropped lem0nhead to the ground and arrested him on the spot. My job was done for this night so I started my car, which was parked outside the station, and drove off.

I suspect and, for the time being, protect lem0nhead. Seems very obvious, but also WAY too easy.

ACN

No idea.

Post by: DáinIronfoot on June 13, 2008, 05:54:25 PM
We're also back to odd capitalization. Maybe it's just a red herring, but T and O in "Ten O'clock" shouldn't be capitalized. Maybe they just assume it should be for some reason. *shrug*

Also, maybe it's just me, but this guy's clues are much different than the complex death traps he had at CC. Significant? Hmmm....
Title: Assassin Game - Round 1
Post by: AgentDrake on June 13, 2008, 07:29:22 PM
Well, as I recall people complained too much about the death traps, and he started throwing in a few simpler traditional knock-off jobs. I liked the deathtraps, but oh well.

he's always miscapitalized words...maybe it he went back we might discover it was after we had protected 2 people....
acn...e?  acne? IDK

LOL! Incog has acne, and he's ticked because he can't get rid of it, so he kills all the people withOUT acne! It all makes sense now!

Quick, whose faces have no blemishes? We must protect them all! :P
Title: Assassin Game - Round 1
Post by: Incognito on June 14, 2008, 05:14:00 PM
Time has run out for my target. It would appear quite obvious that my next victim would be lem0nhead, but why take a chance on breaking into a jail to kill someone. Not to mention I stated to choose wisely as people aren't always who they appear to be :twisted:

Using the time of day I dropped off my letter to decode it would reveal my intended victim. The letter was delivered at 10 o'clock and by reading every ten letters you will get gilwilldie. With proper spacing it reads gil will die, and now he has.

My next victim is being tracked as we speak and the clue will be left shortly :twisted:

Post by: sickofpalantirs on June 18, 2008, 06:01:54 AM
maybe he wash going to break in...so cause o and clock were improperly capitalized I should have spontaneously decided to go every ten words? ok it was feasible but anyway...yeah we protested...everyone protests change...but it started to grow on me...made things interesting...

Post by: Incognito on June 19, 2008, 05:41:10 AM
I am still here for those of you still looking for me. I'm just trying to work out the problems my next victim is giving me. It will be another death trap since you all have shown interest in them again. They require 2 clues to pull off and a victim that is willing to particpate and that is active enough to make it worth my while. That is where my problem now lies I have been searching the streets of TLHH in search of a victim that fits the profile of such, and it appears most of them are either dead already or are about to take leave for a while. Do not fear officers of the law I will have my kill and it will be soon :twisted:.

DainIronfoot is under arrest for bearing a beard without a license. Oh, yeah. And for harassing the other cops by killing everyone off, too.

Post by: Incognito on June 20, 2008, 06:21:07 AM
Well it appears the tax dollars used to fund the TLHH police force are hard at work. Once again another arrest and another black mark. I am not Officer Dain, but who knows maybe I am a fellow officer :twisted:. Could I be the special agent, or perhaps the clerk of the evidence room?

We have 3 cops and all one wrong arrest from being tossed from the force. I will do one lucky cop a great deed as my next victim has been chosen, but you better think this round through.

I was getting rather bored with the lack of effort once again by the band of officers sent to catch me so I decided to make my next victim a bit odd.

My next victim is not as they appear. They run around pretending to be something they are not. I guess you could say they are a hidden member of another.

You have until Monday evening. Of course I don't expect you to have much time on your hands with it being the weekend :twisted:.

Title: Assassin Game - Round 1
Post by: DáinIronfoot on June 20, 2008, 08:43:43 AM
Okay, as for the clue....

A hidden member of another. He certainly seems to be talking about a second identity of an existing member. How many of those do we have? The only one I can think of is Frank_the_Hippo, who is actually SoP. Right?

That would be odd though, as "Hippo" isn't registered here....

Hmm. There's also USF, of course, who took control of SoP's account.

Any other thoughts? I suspect SoP based on the surface evidence, though would that require actually protecting SoP himself, or "Hippo"? My brain hurts.

EDIT: Or there is, of course, Incog himself. Wouldn't that be something...force us to discover his identity and protect him before he kills...himself?! :twisted: Yes, very unlikely, but a fun thought.

Well, you seemed to be the sort who would think of the deathtrap idea, and A and N are both in "Dain." I figgured it was a possibility.

Besides. It was SoP's idea!


Does SoP's protection of NB extend to llama? If so, I can protect USF. Otherwise, I protect the llama man.

How close you were, but you lacked the will to protect a killer :twisted:. It appears this post will be my suicide note.

Dearest Officers,

         I have lost the will to continue my criminal ways. I have done all the killing I care to do and have just one more to finish before I can rest. My next victim will be myself. I have stared death in the face on both sides. I have looked into the eyes of my victims while they have drawn their last breathe and I myself have been terminally ill for quite some time. Instead of letting Life determine when to leave me I will decide this fate myself. By the time you receive this letter I will be about to drop from the gallows I have been constructing. You had several opportunities to catch me and several ID clues were left. I even felt the urge to give one last attempt to be uncovered by leading you right to me, but you chose to protect other :twisted:. Infact I nearly ran out of clues to leave not to mention you added extra clues I did not leave for you. Time has drawn near and and my death is approaching. GAME OVER!


Lever is pulled, gallows trap door opens, and another assassin remains unknown

I am debating on whether or not to post my ID clues here now or just let this be the end. If I do this I will also ask where all the extra ID clues came from. With those appearing from no where I highly doubt I would have been caught unless by a simple guess :twisted:

SoP, Drake and I sent some PMs around at the start of the weekend, and I was prepared to make an arrest of NK this week. Based a bit on a hunch, but also on the letter clues collected so far (including a bolded OK in one of Incog's replies after Drake protected...well, himself). :P Ah well. Guess the world may never know....
