6 sides to a die? I like it. Also, there is to + to = 4.

Wow. Brilliant, Lurtzy!

I've been looking at the memberlist, and a 'hawkeye' is someone with great eyes, often for hitting targets. Maybe HSPF again? Seems a little... obsessive of Incog to go after the same guy as first and third victim, but with this sorta message style, I'm not sure I'd be surprised at obsessive targeting.

Somebody protect shieldmaiden and hawkeye.

I protect hawkeyespf.

Ulmo · « **Reply #50 on:** July 09, 2008, 03:57:33 PM »

I protect shieldmaiden.

MR. Lurtzy · « **Reply #51 on:** July 11, 2008, 08:37:22 PM »

Incognito, you there?

AgentDrake · « **Reply #52 on:** July 11, 2008, 08:45:12 PM »

Wierd. He seems to have disappeared.

Incognito · « **Reply #53 on:** July 13, 2008, 02:07:00 PM »

i am here

my delay was unavoidable
my disappearance unpreventable

or at least
thats what im telling you

nevertheless the cops
protected shieldmaiden
in time by providing
another type of shield
than a target

unless my next victim
learns to swim
they wont be wearing
concrete overshoes

drowning isnt
a pleasant job

you have till wednesday
to learn to swim

Alright, well concrete overshoes I think is when the mob dips some guy's feet in cement, then drops him in the lake and he drowns. Lots of references to swimming, which makes me think water. Ulmo, maybe? Though it seems weird that Ulmo would drown.

Of course, there's always fishfleas (ditto on the Ulmo problem) and mecheteman's connection with aquatic chickens. Okay, so those two are stretching it a bit.
Also, OneFathom, since fathoms are used to measure the depth of water. Actually, that one seems pretty likely to me, since there's a lot about sinking/swimming.

...and I just noticed that Incog seems to have left off his normal "lets play a game" line. Not sure if that's significant or not.

EDIT: And just found this. I thought "concrete overshoes" didn't sound right.
It should be cement shoes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement_shoes

Again, don't know how that could be significant, and it looks like "concrete shoes" isn't that uncommon in the references.

Ulmo · « **Reply #56 on:** July 13, 2008, 04:10:23 PM »

concrete overshoes? That makes it sound like Incognito doesn't speak English as a first language. We'd say concrete shoes.

I think you've hit the nail on the head AD. It would make sense to after a cop, but I think One Fathom is the right choice at this stage.

Just to be on the safe side, I put on a scuba tank and protect myself.

MR. Lurtzy · « **Reply #57 on:** July 13, 2008, 05:26:50 PM »

OneFathom seems to be correct, though we should protect some others just in case.

I protect fishfleas.

AgentDrake · « **Reply #58 on:** July 13, 2008, 05:28:03 PM »

Right. I protect OneFathom, then.

Just thought I'd poke my head in here... shouldn't that read "they will be wearing"? Trying to figure out the grammar otherwise...
