I think there is a clue as to who our assassin might be... I'll have to wait and see if it pans out.

Incognito · « **Reply #61 on:** July 16, 2008, 05:17:05 AM »

i am here

a waterlogged corpse
was found in the river
surrounded by the ducks

mallards mostly
and a few geese

as for identity
the body had decayed
beyond all recognizability

the autopsy revealed drowning
as though it weren't obvious
despite the lack
of cement on the feet
only rusty boots

a victim has died

further instructions
will follow soon

Ulmo · « **Reply #62 on:** July 16, 2008, 06:01:13 AM »

rusty boots? Is DainIronfoot the victim?

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #63 on:** July 16, 2008, 10:45:50 AM »

that would make sense..I guess dain is dead...though he hasn't explicitly said so...

AgentDrake · « **Reply #64 on:** July 17, 2008, 01:12:54 PM »

Um. Okay, so if it was Dain, I really screwed that up.

Seems that it was, but I dunno. Is incog not going to tell us who he killed?

I wonder what "further instructions" means. Just the next clue? It sounds more like its something unique. Weird.

Ulmo · « **Reply #65 on:** July 17, 2008, 01:31:52 PM »

Well, we all screwed up - it is our job to "serve and protect" so to speak. With all that water reference, we all got snookered.

I'm still trying to see the connection between Dain and the clues - the only one I see is shoes.

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

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

Oh... I get it.

Normally the cement shoes are used on people... but they're not necessary if his feet are already too heavy. I guess.
I dunno if the rest is even relevant, or just menacing babble.

i am here

let us play a little game
i aim the gun
and you try to stop me

an enemy is waiting
i am in danger
marked by a sniper

i shall deal
with the problem
and no need to worry afterwards

none of the cops
has an aim
like that of my victim

you have until monday
before i fire

MR. Lurtzy · « **Reply #68 on:** July 18, 2008, 07:35:40 PM »

Maybe someone with a rank of marksman?

Edit: I protect menace64, as he's the only one with aim.

AgentDrake · « **Reply #69 on:** July 18, 2008, 08:33:32 PM »

Could be. Actually, that makes sense, but it seems a bit of a 'volatile' clue, though, as some marksmen could potentially change rank by posting before the clue is solved.

None of the cops are Marksmen, so that's in keeping with the "none of the cops / has an aim / like that of my victim" lines.

The Marksmen -- at the moment -- are:
bibfortuna25
Ellessar's Socks
gil-estel
Glamdring
Josiah_of_Rohan
Mythdracon
NappyKorn
TheJord

Any of them seem to fit into the clue better than the others?
Incog seems to be saying that the victim is potentially dangerous-- which could point to Mythdracon, along with the line "before i fire." Granted, that's Incog firing, but it might have something to do with Dragon's (dracon) fire.
Or not. That doesn't quite seem to fit.

I'll keep looking, in case it's not based off marksman.

Ulmo · « **Reply #70 on:** July 19, 2008, 06:51:55 AM »

Not that I think it is, but a sniper is said to have a hawkeye. I don't think the assassin would go after the person twice.

I think Lurtzy has it. "marked by a sniper" -> takes aim. aim is mentioned twice. Great catch.

I'll keep looking...

Nice! took me a little while to figure out what you were talking about, but surely that's it.

Just found a third mention of aim, too:

An enemy...
I am...
Marked...

I'll protect Hawkeye again, just in case, but I think Lurtzy has it.

I'm innocent, innocent I tell you! Those aren't blood stains, they're... err... umm... tabasco sauce! Yeah, that's it! Too many tacos!

has detected an anomaly

unfortunately for him
he has arrested
the wrong person

honestly
why would kralik
want to kill someone

i wander off
for a few days
it just means
im evading you
or throwing you off

maybe im flying north
for the winter
that was a joke
ha ha
fat chance

anyway
it seems to work

was protected
by the cops
i shall have to
watch my back still

let us play a little game
i kill an entire planet
and you try to stop me

monday
