Hmm, I think he is talking about Adultlink. Lawn of the Forest.

I think "Lawn of the Forest" is actually "Forest Lawn", as there seem to be a number of cemeteries with that name, mostly in California (and a particularly famous one in Los Angeles). So I'm guessing we're looking for someone who's...already dead?

Maybe someone somehow linked to a real-life figure that is already dead.

But I can't make much of a connection beyond that. The architect thing seems like our best lead, but that's really not helped much, at least not from what I've been able to dig up. The "sir" thing strikes me as meaning one of those careers was likely in a military capacity, but that could be dead wrong. "Sir" just jumps out at me as miltary. *shrug*

Not much time left, as I THINK Incog intends to strike today judging by the "3 days" and when he last posted. I'm trying, but this has been a frustratingly inconclusive search across the world wide interweb thus far.

I was thinking grass, leaves, needles as Lawn of the Forest, but can't see anything.

He missed his deadline perhaps he's dead himself, like fell of a cliff in a freak incident or was randomly murdered by some crazed drug addict!

Erm, who knows!?

Perhaps we should declare the coppers the winners!

That's the second time he's run late. Too bad I can't come up with anything more in this bonus time.

You see I have struck again. I caught Mr. Incognito walking towards the public restroom on the corner of 5th and main and sniped him down from atop a near by building.

Maybe NK really is Incognito!

Once again the Officers had been kept waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

Until...

The news came on and the Officers were in for quite a shock.

"Our top story involves a local celebrity," the newsman reported, "known only as 'Kralik' He was found dead this morning outside his home. The probable cause of death is still being determined, but it is reported he was found with a large gash across his torso. And in other news..."

The Officers stared dumbfounded at the television until the phone rang and sent them scrambling. Officer DainIronfoot got to it first and put it on speaker so they could all hear.

At first there was no sound, but then a click seemed to indicate that a pre-recorded message followed.

Such a shame. He was so young!

The taunting laugher returned for a moment, and then:

Mister Kralik now joins his avatar in the grave. Perhaps they will BOTH end up buried at the famous Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale California among other celebrities. Kralik's avatar, Jimmy Stewart, has already been there since his death in 1997 after a long and distinguished career as both an actor and brigadier general in the United States Air Force. This all after he abandoned his early aspirations of being an architect.

But of course, you did not figure that out in time. Not even in overtime. So, we get...sudden death!

The laughter returned as the Officers hung their heads in defeat.

Come come now, Officers. You rebounded nicely last time and now it is time to do the same. This is no fun if you don't keep trying!

Let us try a simple little puzzle this time:

367

937

938

947

1336

4116

Had enough yet?

2 days.

*click*

Seems so obvious now that I go back and look at it. I had the cemetary part right, at least!

Blast it all.

Okay, this new one. (I hate numbers.

) The first thing that strikes me, though, is the similiarities between them. Half end with 7s, three have 6s, three have 9s, four have 3s (and one of those has TWO 3s). 3 + 3 = 6 + 3 = 9, so that could be significant somehow. The 1s, 4s, and 8 seem like oddballs, but again, 4 + 4 = 8.

Significance in the fact that there are no 0s, 2s, or 5s, perhaps?

Yeah, I hate numbers.

NappyKorn · « **Reply #176 on:** August 27, 2008, 01:00:15 PM »

LOL if you add the number up and replace them with the corresponding letter in the alphbet you get psstml. Maybe he is saying Psst (like a sound you make to get someone to come to you quietly) and ML is Mr. Lurzy obviously. But that seems odd and I'm off the force.

*Storms off to kill another person I suspect of criminal activities*

GarrisonofGondor · « **Reply #177 on:** August 27, 2008, 03:57:46 PM »

Hmmm, Hmmm, okay I admit I'm confused. BTW, even though Elendil!UrukFear is a friend of mine I have to ask, is he still on the force?

MR. Lurtzy · « **Reply #178 on:** August 27, 2008, 06:37:16 PM »

Twice?

Incognito · « **Reply #179 on:** August 29, 2008, 06:57:09 PM »

Come on, guys! You're not even trying!

For once we are agreed.

I thought this would be an easy "pick me up" after your inactivity lately, Officers. Instead you have another body on your hands.

As I said, I thought this would be easy. The numbers are simply the card number of each palantir in Lord of the Rings: The Card Game; the first number or two represent the set and the last 2 or 3 represent the actual card number.

I imagine you can guess at this point who has been killed. If not then ask bobtheorc if he has seen his brother lately.

I tire of the ease of my recent kills. This is not fun anymore!

I will give you the American holiday weekend to recuperate before we play again.
