I'm in.

I'm sooooooooooo in. =D> \:D/ :)

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in ;)

Hello, my dearest friends! I am delighted to inform you that, shortly, you will all be meeting God! Isn't that just fabulous!?
I am extremely pleased to be able to perform such a service for you. Just give me another two good volunteers, and we can let the show begin! Aha!
-
I join!
-
Alrighty, the Cop Roster as of the moment:
AD
GoG
SoP
Lurtzy
...one more!
-
Sign me up!
-
And so, we can let the show begin! Aha!
Well it is truly marvelous to meet you all for the first time!
I hope you all are bright enough to figure out my riddles! But I have faith!
If one of you can guess my favorite number (http://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/index.php?topic=558.0), perhaps my victim can be saved!
But it will be you - not I - who will choose who dies.
2 days.
I have returned and altered the past to affect the present.
The password that you search for is the word 'time'.
-
Well Incognito is 11C167, so 11, 167, or the sum of the digits, 16? The 16th member to join was Malachi.
Or... maybe something totally different?
-
The people with numbers are as follows.
aperson77
bibfortuna25
c10ckw0rk
Gillian2
Hedgehog81
K3nzoow
King89
Lem0nhead
menace64
Micah247
Olorin85
turin08
Pick one :)
-
well clicking on the number in the post brings us to three word story...so favorite number 3?
agent drake started it...
-
True.
-
I protect SoP.
My reasoning:
1st - I received this via PM. I assume 6 other people did, as well.
Hello, my most wonderful spectators or participants.
7 of you have received this message.
I humbly request that you post in my thread with all haste.
Refuse to do so, and you die.
They will choose one of you who must die.
Tell them what I have told you here.
Remember - you are the only ones who count.
Aha!
Incog is setting up a string of posts by various cops/civilians.
2nd - Incog's favorite number would appear to be 3, given that the reference to numbers in the title, "3-Word Story" is obviously 3. (Kudos to SoP for noticing that! :up: )
3rd - Incog said that we would somehow determine the victim in his hint, and he said in the PM that "They" would choose who dies. Who? The cops? Or the posts? What would be the point in posting, unless it were somehow relevant, eh?
4th - SoP was the third person to post after Incog's announcement.
Therefore, I am certain that SoP is the intended victim.
-
I am a clueless duck. Makes you wonder how I figured out the last Incog huh.
-
I got the same message that AD did.
-
well bro I thnk AD is on to something but I got the same PM and it states that the people that received the PMs are the only one who count towards it. So here is my post about it I make the 2nd of the PM receivers. AD was the 1st to post about the PM and know I'm the 2nd. The next to post about this PM they received is your next victim.

Aha!
-
Well crap that makes me the 3rd now not the 2nd. I'm your next victim then. Protect me :up:.
-
Ah, point. However ES, GoG and SoP are all cops, and therefore they did get the message, and potentially count anyway. It might work either way, so I'm still gonna protect SoP, just in case. But yeah, I think you're right.
Someone protect NK!
-
You really can't just assume that the cops all got the message. He said it was sent to only 7 people and if all the cops got one then that leaves just me and CG as the others. I still think is comes down to the 3rd person to post about receiving this mystrey PM. I will bow out now as I'm not on the force.
*Runs off to hide in an undisclosed location hoping for police protection*
-
Hey, guys, I got the same message. I'm just gonna go ahead and post so Incog doesn't kill me. :ninja:
-
Ah, point. However ES, GoG and SoP are all cops, and therefore they did get the message, and potentially count anyway.
I did not get a message. *nods at the corner* I'll be over there sulking. :'(
:lol:
Great catch with the link, SoP!
-
I protect NappyKorn.
-
I too received the PM, but i dont know of my relevance seeing as three seems to be important.
-
I recieved the same PM, which has the title "Show Up For The Show", by the way.
-
O yeah, mine did too sorry.
-
I did NOT receive said PM...so I think its me.
-
I like numbers. Have I ever told you that!?
Ahem.
Congratulations. You figured out my riddle! My favorite number was three yesterday. You successfully protected NappyKorn, who was the third person who posted about his PM.
However, today, my favorite number is 7. Fortunately for you, the seventh person to receive my message did not post here. However, I did request that they post. It hurts me that they didn't.
I will spare their life. I did come clean to you ahead of schedule.
Do you want to know a secret?
A true magician is the seventh son of a seventh son.
The deadline.. is still tomorrow.

A clue or a mistake?
-
:suspect:
I'm guessing accident. However....
EDIT:
Ahem. I figured that the phrase "nothing to write home about" would probably be some sort of little speech pattern that someone here happens to use. So i did a search, intending to arrest whoever used it.
The two users of that phrase are Incognito and... myself. :-[
Well. So much for that theory.
-
Admit it, Drake. I'm inside your head.
I'll be kind to you - my post on that particular DC thread was a clue to my next victim.
-
I arrest Felipe Musco.
-
I'm sorry; you are incorrect.
-
Alright, then I protect anvar.
-
And yet again, I'm arrested... LOL
Seriously, though, I'd like someone with enough time to spare to check how many times I've been arrested in this game. ;)

Actually you were not a user of that phrase on TLHH until posting that message, and combined with NOLINKIncognito saying he's inside your head... I would very much like to put you in a straitjacket. Because either NOLINKIncognito is trying to get you killed (I guess the straitjacket would make it easier), or you're trying to get yourself killed, or you/Incognito are trying to get us killed, and oh... I arrest AgentDrake.
Otherwise if you're someone we can trust, we can start investigating who calls you "Drake" (unfortunately like most sensible people you have a tendency not to refer to yourself in the third person), uses "ahem," and italicizes words, which brings up some interesting results. Hmm... we could also use the untimely demise of some folks for clues, or is that not ethical? *consults with NappyKorn*
-

LMAO hilarious FM, i havent kept track of how many times youve been arrested falsely but as i follow every Assassin game i certainly remember several threads where you have said something along the lines of "Why does everyone keep arresting me?!?". Haha class. You must just be a really shady character. :D
What i think is even more funny is how we havent even had a murder yet let alone an ID clue and already someone has been arrested pointlessly and wrongly. The fact its you again just had to the hilarity!
-
:lol: I can imagine AD going "...WHAT?" But I have a bazooka in one hand and a plate of donuts in the other, so it should end fine either way... possibly.
Well, there's that "secret" and the odd cross-outs. :-k Ah, let the victim die so we can mine for clues. :up: (I'm kidding, but my searches haven't turned up anything good.)

Actually, I did use the phrase before that, but I misspelled "nothing" as "nothign," so you'd have to just use the Search on "write home" to have it pop up. Cheeze. Try to be open and honest, to show that I have nothing to hide, and instead I get thrown into the nuthouse.
Wait...
You're arresting me?!? Seriously, if I was Incog, would I really point out clues to the fact so blatantly?
Anyhow, while I'm sitting here in a straitjacket, I'll be shouting "Protect Dain, Protect Dain!"
-

Actually, I use "Drake", "ahem", and do italics all the time. A little scary.
But it ain't me. Someone trying to sound LIKE me (as well as Drake and/or FM)? That's an interesting possibility....
Oh, wait. I ain't a cop this round. Darn.
-
I protect Dain. I arrest NBarden.
-
I appreciate the protection, but ya'll sure are burning through your arrest warrants awfully quickly.
-
Can i ask the point in the game if youre all gonna start arresting the assassin before the game has really begun, without any real evidence? Seems a bit pointless to me....
-
Yes, we are seriously arrest-happy. I'm willing to get a black mark to confirm AD, though. He seems like the point man.

*dangles a donut over his head* Hey, "nothign" is confirmed! Well, if you're so innocent why are you the one sitting in a straitjacket, huh? Oh wait...
-
wow 3 arrests...the thing that popped into my head was narnia, 7 books, magicians nephew...doesn't make much sense though.
-
I unprotect Dain and now protect aperson77
-
Wha-huh-HEY! Where's the love? :'(
-
Actually....
I think GoG is right. I'll protect Dain, though. (which is actually what I was trying to say in an amusing RP manner anyway ;))
-
The arrests of both Felipe Musco and AgentDrake are incorrect.
My, my, my. Three black marks already. Perhaps you should wait for some real clues to be dropped before wasting your arrests.
Drake is correct - DainIronfoot is my intended victim.
The Seventh of Seven refers to the seventh card of the seventh set - Gimli, Feared Axeman. Which is conveniently Mr. Ironfoot's avatar.
The DC post was also a clue. The [dwarven] companion "Iron Guard" refers, obviously to Mr. Ironfoot also.
Aperson77? Come now. Do you honestly think I'd be that simple? I'm insulted. People who insult me tend to die.
Congratulations. Perhaps I must step up my game to deal with such a formidable foe as Mr. Drake.
So, what do you say, Drake?
Shall we Dance? To the Death?
Step with me, Drake! Oh, to Die
Will be such a great adventure!
So come out! Let justice be Done upon you!
But be sure to have the proper footwear.
You have until tomorrow.
-
Whew. I'm alive! I'm alive! I'M ALI--
/me trips over a root and faceplants...hard
-
Alright, well, after rushing Dain to the hospital for a broken nose, the immediate potential target that comes to mind is ES.
Ellessar - "So come out! Let justice be Done upon you!"
Socks - "But be sure to have the proper footwear."
Seems potentially too obvious, though, especially that last line.
I've also got someone off the Members list... Trooper. First thing that comes to mind there is a soldier... "Oh, to Die / Will be such a great adventure!"
And what is associated with the Army, if not Army Boots? Massive stretch, I know, but those are the only two I can come up with
-
well footwear...back to dainironfoot...thats my main observation...
I protect ellessars socks, that makes sense.
-
Aperson77? Come now. Do you honestly think I'd be that simple? I'm insulted. People who insult me tend to die.
There's this, too, which makes me wonder if maybe the assassin is dangling ES in front of us in order to target someone else... SoP, maybe, for protecting ES, but that risks that we derail his plans by thinking ES is far too obvious to protect... Or maybe me for being the first to point out ES...
Or maybe it's entirely irrelevant. I tend to think it's irrelevant, so I'll wait before I protect anyone, see if anything else comes up.
EDIT: Alright, I got nothing. I protect SoP.
-
I protect Drake. What happened to my arrest.
-
Maybe the third black mark is a tire track NOLINKIncognito found on the freeway. :o However it looks like AD is cleared... *chokes back my disappointment as I'm forced to share my snacks* :(
The 's' is capitalized 4 times (each time at the start of a sentence), and the 'd' 6 times, which are unusually high.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! You guys are already way in on the second round. That wuz quick. Either that or my school and practice has been really getting in the way.
-
Yes, ES was my intended target. It makes me sick to think how fast my clues have been unraveled.
GarrisonofGondor: Your arrest of NBarden was incorrect. Which, by the way, is where the third black mark came from.
Now, however, everything is going according to plan.
Someone will soon die - but I suspect none too many tears will be shed over his passing.
Tomorrow.
-
Erm....
No idea.
-
...So much for spending an hour trying to crack a non-existent code, unless there's also an identity clue in there. *LOL*
Looking over the member list, there are some people who signed up but never posted, people who posted but were irritating to no end, and... huh, Gillian/Gillian2? Dunno.
-
I protect myself.
-
Well, that's a lot of self-confidence you got there, Lurtzy.
I protect llama.
-
where are you guys getting this?
-
Nowhere. "but I suspect none too many tears will be shed over his passing" is all I see to work with.
That and "everything is going according to plan." neither one seems to helpful, so I'm protecting llama, since who really cares if he dies?
(which, of course, begs the question... why protect him at all?)
-
Someone with no eyes? No eyes, no tears. Just a thought as I read over this thread. I'll go away now.
-
Well, that's a lot of self-confidence you got there, Lurtzy.
:mrgreen:
-
I keep coming back to NOLINKIncognito, but... guess not.
I'll protect Gillian2, since if one "duplicate" is offed, the other (same person) is still there.
-
Our flamer, urstinkenface?
-
Only if you really want to.
-
Tell me who to arrest.
-
I mean protect.
-
Maybe urstinkenface or NotASpamBot, unless you've got other ideas. I was thinking the entire phrase might've been lifted off a movie or something, but so far no luck there.
-
Three of our beloved coppers - GarrisonofGondor, Mr. Lurtzy, and Elessar's Socks - were sitting around the desk in the police station when they heard the sound of screeching tires. They rushed out the front door to see a large, unmarked white van screaming down their street. As it passed, the back hatch opened and a brightly-colored box fell out. ES had time to put two rounds in the door - then it was gone.
At first glance, the box appeared to be nothing more than a mere magician's novelty - a person-sized box with eight swords stuck in the sides. Something was wrong about this box, however... perhaps it was the blood oozing from the holes?
Knowing full well what they would find, they opened the box and saw...
The body of SickofPalantirs, skewered eight times. There was a bullet hole through his forehead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agent Drake, however, had happened upon my trail. He followed down back streets and alleyways, gun at the ready, eyes darting from side to side.
Suddenly, a twang sounded from behind him, and he quickly ducked and turned. An arrow whistled over his head and buried itself in the wall behind him. He saw for a moment a masked, cloaked figure before him, crossbow held in it's hand. He managed to register a few features of this figure before it turned and ran back around another corner. Drake knew how foolish it would be to pursue an armed enemy into an unsecured area, and turned to inspect the arrow behind him. There was a note wrapped around its shaft. It read:
Hello, Agent Drake, my nemesis! And all you fellow law-breakers as well! Aha!
I hope you have enjoyed the first act of my show - though it took me ever so long to get started!
However, I must hurry on to the next clue. The second act is about to begin, and I'm getting to the end of my rope!
First, I must assure you that the swords are important, and must be considered before anything else.
Next, there is a letter that appears 24 times in this note. Remember it well!
Finally, my favorite number today is six2.
I do hope I don't run out of volunteers that quickly. The show must go on!
Aha!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agent Drake returned to the station with the clue. He also told the other officers the things he noticed about the masked figure in the alley:
1. The figure was definitely male.
2. The figure was neither tall, nor short.
3. The figure was cloaked in indiscriminate shades of gray.
4. The mask only covered half a face. The other was obscured in shadow.
5. The hood hid details such as hair length and color.
6. Above the hood, oddly enough, rested a top hat.
Very vague and useless details, but a description of the villain nonetheless.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clue, I must admit, was fairly vague - but the message was meant to be subliminal. This style did not come from a movie, ES, but a book, and one of my favorites.
Yes, ES was my intended target. It makes me sick to think how fast my clues have been unraveled.
GarrisonofGondor: Your arrest of NBarden was incorrect. Which, by the way, is where the third black mark came from.
Now, however, everything is going according to plan.
Someone will soon die - but I suspect none too many tears will be shed over his passing.
I hoped that at least the last two lines would clue you in. The last line, however, meant no disrespect to our deceased policeman - though there are some that still speak of him as the most infamous spammer of this site. The word "tears" was simply more useful than "tiers."
You have your clue. 2 days.
-
I believe you forgot me. Nappykorn isn't a cop.
-
Good heavens, Incog is taunting me!
Oh, and I protect macheteman. Swords, eh?
-
"I'm getting to the end of my rope" sounds a little forced (just like "sick," and that DID make me think of SoP! blargh!). Does a character in a TV show or book infamously "aha"? That's reminding me of one episode of... Family Guy or Futurama (can't remember exactly), where someone said that at the end of practically every line.
I count the letter 'h' appearing 24 times in that message, although I haven't checked the rest of the alphabet.
-
That's Family Guy, I believe "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington", when Speed Racer and his father make an appearance.
"Aha! The Griffin Family is going to Washington! Aha!"
"Aha! That does not concern us at all! Aha!"
Now what could it mean?
-
Didn't someone say they liked family guy a while back? Also, the TOP HAT might refer to a wizard. TheBlueWizard,. Olorin85. I have no clue excep that the end of my rope might mean HANGING.
-
Hawkeyespf shall be protected by me.
-
Didn't someone have an "H" for an Avatar a while back at CC? Our Chilean friend, maybe? ;)
-
The descripption he gives of himself makes me think of the phantom of the opera, LOL. Wasn't there a member that referred to this alot?
Yes I remember a member using the 'H' (looked like the History Channel logo) and I believe that member was Gizlivadi. Maybe one of you cops should protect him :up:.
-
Okay, I protect Gizlivardi.
-
The descripption he gives of himself makes me think of the phantom of the opera, LOL. Wasn't there a member that referred to this alot?
Yeah. Me. But I've already been arrested.
-
/me sings....
The Draaaaaaaaake of the Opera is theeeeeeere...inside your mi--/me is pelted by rotton fruit.
-
Can't match AD to swords (or 'h' or 6 :roll:), but I'll protect him just to be on the safe side. The potential reference to Phantom of the Opera is making me nervous. (Heh, guess with the way Incog is going, better to have gotten that arrest out of the way.)
And thanks for the heads-up, FM. Dunno what it means either (if anything), but it was bugging me to no end trying to place it!
-
I'm very depressed. I'm not seeing much effort or enthusiasm in my volunteers!
It's upsetting me. And when I get upset, people die.
The swords were meant to direct you toward the number 8.
Unfortunately for you, there was another letter that appeared in my note that many times: R.
And though my favorite number was six, if you quoted my post you would see that I meant 62.
That means the clue was: 8R36.
Garrison of Gondor.
I also referred to you all as my volunteers in one of the earlier posts - the last line of my message was meant to let you conclude that I was going after another cop.
I'm beginning to become bored with this show. So, I won't kill Garrison, not yet. Instead, I'll let you decide who dies.
Elect one of yourselves who must hang. If you do not, 7 people will die.
You have until tomorrow.
-
I better just let myself die. We could kill Kralik. If we do, I'll take control of the site.
-
Oh, and only two people call me Garrison. Mythdracon and One Fathom.
-
I say we kill mr lurtzy ;)
if not I'll die
-
Death to sickofpalantirs! ;D :lol:
Besides you've already elected me to die before. :roll:
-
ES and I PM'ed about it a little, and I arrest el.
...Oh, yeah. And I vote we let Incog kill 7 people. :twisted:
-
Your arrest is.... correct.
Congratulations, AD. You know you would have been one the seven I killed off.
So, how'd you figure it out? I made a lot of references to books and movies that I like (Artemis Fowl, Phantom, Ted Dekker) but I don't think I've ever mentioned those things on the forums.
The whole "magician" apparel was meant to reference Silvarin a little. I also tried to show more enmity towards you because it was you who arrested me last time (now it's two in a row! Blarg!)
Anyways, whoever wants to be the next Incog, I'd prefer you e-mailed me (or used some anonymous method of contacting me) because I'd really like to be a cop in the next round...
-
Wow... right person, wrong reasons. :lol: Here are the PMs I sent to AD:
Triggerhappy Socks is now wondering about Elf_Lvr. The references to being a magician (which might include the top hat) make me wonder if we have a MTG player on our hands (FM and NB are conveniently off the list); the cloak in "indiscriminate shades of gray" could refer to the Elven cloaks; and even archery is involved.
He did come up in that search the other day, but maybe if you're more familiar with his posting style you'd have a better idea. What's giving me pause though is that this version of Incognito seems different than Elf_Lvr's version.
Also and this is a wild idea, but could the constant reference to you being his nemesis, besides the fact that you're a scary cop, refer to your name in particular? Maybe Incognito had an adverse encounter with a dragon. Or a duck.
If Elf_Lvr is a self-professed emo, the half mask could stereotypically refer to covering one side of the face with long hair.
Still can't place the rope, though.
Looks like the references were sailing right over my head, and I was having doubts when I couldn't tie you to the Phantom. On the other hand you were the second highest suspect on my list after the search. Guess there was much ado about "nothign." ;)
I'd be interested in AD's thoughts, too. Congrats!
-
Wow. I guess I left some clues even I didn't know about, eh?
-
My thoughts?
My thoughts were that I didn't want a cop -- or multiple cops -- to get killed off, so I should probably risk it and make the arrest. I hadn't arrested anyone yet, and ES seemed to have some good initial evidence, but not enough to risk his last arrest on. So I winged it. :ninja:
That was completely blind on my part. I was just hoping ES got it right.
Kudos to him. He was the one who figured it out. I honestly had nothing to do with it besides the handcuffs....
-
Ok, why the #$&*@! there's no one who wants to take out some fellow members?!?
