Explosm: The Robot Attack

[Benjaman]

A peaceful morning in Explosm City reveale itself to be o very peaceful. As Rb was taking his usual stroll down all the food kiosks in town, he was suddenly zapped by a fifty foot robot. He falls to the ground as a pile of ash, and the other residents run for the Town-Meeting-Gazebo.

MEANWHILE AT THE TOWN-MEETING-GAZEBO, CONNIENTLY LOCATED IN A LAGE, EMPY, FIELD:

"HEAR YE HEAR YE, TY FANCY GENTLEMEN (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h81/Benjaman36/Gentlemen.jpg)!" were Die Hard's words as the townspeople all became quet. "There has bee evil afoot, and we must stop it!" cried Die Hard. "Hay guyz, iz evul bad?" asked GordonTheFree. "Yes, very bad, now go sit down." Benjaman said hurriedly. It was then when the rest of the townsfol broke out in mass hyseria. Robo Sexual and Con-Con seem to ave been getting it on behnd a tree, but the view was obscured by Spiffy13, Jewish Josh, and Shadow Priest mooin half the crowd. Whilt the people were trying to be calmed down, it was noticed that Ryuuzaki and Dresden were in an ol' fashioned bare-knuckle-brawl. This got out of hand as a close onlooker, Dauntasa, was hit in the face by badumpbump's fist. This inspired a all star fight between everyone, excluding Mirrorman, GCBC, and Inseln. They were peacefully enjoying a few slices of pie. Inseln, adding to the conversation about pie, said "I wonder, what is a robot's favorite pie? (www.google.com)" "If I want to go with my coffee after the meal, I love Boston Cream pie, lemon meringue pie, etc." This went on and on as GCBC and Mirrorman had thoughts of either suicide, or murder, just to get him to shut up. This whole scene was soon interrupted, when a large robot came and laser-zapped the gazebo into dust. The villagers (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=be+careful%2C+remember+how+many+types+of+robots+ there+are&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f) all ran to think out what to do.

[Con-Con]

what is a robot's favorite pie? Does this link lead to the Irish google for every one else?
I'm pretty sure all the underlined parts mean something. I have no idea what the GENTLEMEN link means.

[Exodus]

Inseln is obviously a robot because what is a robots favorite kind of pie is a link to google, and when you google that phrase there is a site with the word robot in the title and it and it has the exact phrase "To go with my coffee after the meal, I love Boston Cream pie, lemon meringue pie."

The word Gentlemen is a link to someone's avatar, but I cant remember who's.

[Dauntasa]

The word Gentlemen is a link to someone's avatar, but I cant remember who's.


It's Die Hard's old avatar.

[Exodus]

That's what I thought.

[blltmssgy]

Inseln is obviously a robot because what is a robots favorite kind of pie is a link to google, and when you google that phrase there is a site with the word robot in the title and it and it has the exact phrase "To go with my coffee after the meal, I love Boston Cream pie, lemon meringue pie."


Google Search: What is a Robot's Favorite Pie? (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+is+a+robot%27s+favorite+pie%3F&btnG=Google+Search)

EDIT: I see what you mean now, you searched for "To go with my coffee after the meal, I love Boston Cream pie, lemon meringue pie."

I"ll show that search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22To+go+with+my+coffee+after+the+meal%2C+I+love +Boston+Cream+pie%2C+lemon+meringue+pie.&btnG=Search)as well, and leave the other one up so people won't get confused like I did.

But that is interesting that robot is in that blog name, you might be on to something.

[Pig Fucker]

Inseln is obviously a robot because what is a robots favorite kind of pie is a link to google, and when you google that phrase there is a site with the word robot in the title and it and it has the exact phrase "To go with my coffee after the meal, I love Boston Cream pie, lemon meringue pie."


I saw that too, but I don't think that that is what it means. If you go to that website, the quote is a direct quote from a user on the website with the name 'null'. This could either mean that Inseln is himself null, suggesting that he's a robot, or it could mean that the supposed clue is null, meaning that he isn't a robot.

I don't think the underlining means anything, mainly because of the haphazard-ness of it all. It seems like Ben or Die Hard randomly underlined a bunch of parts to make the links more hidden. I could be wrong though, so if someone wants to work on it, be my guest.

Also:
Okay, here's the thread. It was written in a kind-of hurry, so if you're not in the intro, too bad, it might he be for your advantage. Or against it.

The white text might mean something.

Dude, that's because that site is this thread.
Google Search: What is a Robot's Favorite Pie? (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+is+a+robot%27s+favorite+pie%3F&btnG=Google+Search)

He means this (http://blog.robotcoop.com/2006/06/30/wheres-your-favorite-place-to-eat/). It's the fourth link from the top.

[Demoir]

Whats the villagers clue mean?

By the way, I'm not voting in this opening round because it's stupid, etc.

(Unless there's a surefire clue somewhere)

[blltmssgy]

Yeah I fixed that in mine.

And does anyone know what the villagers link is supposed to mean, "be careful, remember how many types of robots there are"?

EDIT: Nevermind I answered my own question.

There will be four classes: Army, Civilians, Evil Robots, and Good Robots.

[Exodus]

In that case, I still think inseln is a robot, but since i don't know if he's good or bad, I retract my vote until more evidence surfaces.

ILIAHSANSLATMITHHEIATSTJSICUSSTWSSSIPIAMLFMSSFSLMY ?

If you put all the white letters in the first part together you get:
CPTBEEFHEART

and then the second part:
ILIAHSANSLATMITHHEIATSTJSICUSSTWSSSIPIAMLFMSSFSLMY ?

All I see is "beef" and "heart" in the first one. Captain (Cpt.) Beef Heart maybe, does that mean anything to you?
Anyone see anything?

[Pig Fucker]

Captain Beef Heart (http://www.beefheart.com/). I have absolutely no idea what it means, but thats probably what the clue refers to.

[Dresden]

I also noticed in the intial post, lots of words have a letter missing. In this order, here are the missing letters:


d s o v e r t h i n k t h i n g s n r e

And that spells "overthink things" and then the letters d,s,n,r,e left over. I may have missed some; someone else check too.

I also noticed that only the "icide" in 'suicide' is underlined, and only the "exclu" in 'excluding'. These could be clues.

[BKS]

Hm, was their ever a user named Cpt. Beef Heart? That name sounds way too goddamn familiar.

[Benjaman]

I didn't think the game would have come along this fast. /watch?v=-lBbMzi5NrI

[Exodus]

I also noticed in the intial post, lots of words have a letter missing. In this order, here are the missing letters:


d s o v e r t h i n t k t h i g s n.

I also noticed that only the "icide" in 'suicide' is underlined, and only the "exclu" in 'excluding'. These could be clues.

All I got out of that was : "overthink things" and then I had the letters D, S and T left over. I may have missed some; someone else check too.

dont over think things.



Or PM me, better yet it may be best to PM both of us.

GDGHPE FOGLDS OL


Another anagram.

[BKS]

Is it possible, that any references to "Gentlemen" may be a clue about innocent townspeople?


Heres the underlined texted all together, dont see any clues though..

the rest of the townsfol broke out in mass hyseria. Robo Sexual behnd Spiffy13, Jewish Jos in half the trying to be calmed down, it was noticed that were was exclu enjoying conversation what is a robot's favorite pie? Boston Cream lemon meringue icide, or murder, just to get him to shut up. This whole scene was soon interrupted, when laser-zapped villagers


I have a theory on the last link. It says "remember how many kinds of robots are out there"

So, could this mean that the Robot who zapped the gazebo was good, and whoever was in was bad?

[Dresden]

Or PM me, better yet it may be best to PM both of us.

GDGHPE FOGLDS OL

GDGHPE FOGLDS OL in the white text. Any ideas?

[Exodus]

I didn't think the game would have come along this fast. /watch?v=-lBbMzi5NrI

put the end of that into a youtube url. leads to a video by Cpt beefheart by a user robertogiordano87.

Gordan the free a robot perhaps?

[Dresden]

possible, and I hope so. But that's a bit of a stretch. Let's find out a bit more.

[DieHard]

Fuck, he beat me to it.

[Exodus]

And just incase no one read the other thread, I'm Dr. acula. I got a name change.

[BKS]

That video is about a girl... if there is any way we can figure out what it's refering to (Good bot, bad bot, etc), we can maybe determine one of the female players orientation?

[Benjaman]

First Post Updated, by the way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kcUjuXBFA8 This commercial is not a clue. Yet, it is funny.

[jewishjosh]

BKS, I believe Robo-Sexual is bi.

I think the direct quote about different types of pies is the best we've got to go on so far.

[davidmanman]

GDGHPE FOGLDS OL
I'm pretty sure there are not enough vowels in this for it to form a sentence. It might have some vowels missing in the words on purpose though.

[ryuuzaki]

Add the letters that were missing in the beggining and see if you can get anything out of it.

I've been trying different combinations and I can't get anything

[jewishjosh]

GDGHPE FOGLDS OL
I'm pretty sure there are not enough vowels in this for it to form a sentence. It might have some vowels missing in the words on purpose though.

I think it's a cipher, not an anagram. Like the one last game that said AidanC is the king of the invaders.

Also, I FOUND SOMETHING!!!!
Cpt Beefheart (http://www.beefheart.com) - Discography - official stuido albums. There is one called Mirrorman, with a song called Mirrorman. Unfortunately, the lyrics (http://www.beefheart.com/walker/lyrics/mm/mirrorman.htm) don't shed any light on who Mirrorman is.

[Shadowpriest]

put the end of that into a youtube url. leads to a video by Cpt beefheart by a user robertogiordano87.

Gordan the free a robot perhaps?

Thats kind of a stretch... but if it were the clue, it'd be directly saying that he is the bad guy.

I still think Inseln's clue is more convincing. Yet we always kill an innocent in the first fucking round anyway for killing the first person they point fingers at im not gonna vote against him....yet. lol whitey whitey

[Sniperfire]

So many possible leads, is there only one clue per round, or are there multiple clues?

[Benjaman]

So many possible leads, is there only one clue per round, or are there multiple clues?

I assure you, there is more than one. A male virgin.

[BKS]

BKS, I believe Robo-Sexual is bi.

I think the direct quote about different types of pies is the best we've got to go on so far.

I meant, I thought the vid was giving a clue about what team a girl might be on.. And look, Benjamin's MSN quote is even from that vid...

[ryuuzaki]

Benjamin has had that quote on his MSN for a while now (before the game started)

also Die Hard and Ben both said that all the clues would be posted in this thread.

[Triple J]

I can't decide, and these damn first round votes never end up succeeding so I'm not gonna vote this round.

[blltmssgy]

From what I can see right now, we can be safe in thinking that Inseln is either a good bot or a bad bot, and Mirrorman is either someone in the army (good guys), a good bot, or a bad bot. Thats a more than a 50% we kill an innocent if we pick one of them. I don't like those odds.

[ryuuzaki]

I can't find any solid evidence against anyone so I'm just gonna take a geuss at Jewishjosh

[History]

Ryuuzaki, that's a retarded stab in the dark, and a good way to get yourself killed. You could at least try to look at the damn clues. As for me, I'll try those letters out as a cipher and see if I can get anything out of it. The easiest way to do it is through letter frequency, ie what letters occur most in the clue compared to what letters occur most frequently in words. Plus look at word length, if anyone else is interested in giving it a shot.

[green rubber bands]

I can't find any solid evidence against anyone so I'm just gonna take a geuss at Jewishjosh

Don't be retarded, at least pretend you're basing your vote on something.

[ryuuzaki]

Hey like i said I looked at the clues and I couldn't find anything.
I watched the last explosm game and I remember everyone ended killing the innoccent people so instead of voting for the obvious I'm just voting at random and hoping I get it right and if I get killed then thats everyone elses fault.

[ryuuzaki]

If someone can find some SOLID evidence against someone then I will change my vote but until then I'm gonna stick with my current geuss.

[Shadowpriest]

I fucking hate the first round. You either kill an innocent or kill 2. We lose either fucking way.

[ryuuzaki]

I fucking hate the first round. You either kill an innocent or kill 2. We lose either fucking way.

Exactly thats why I'm not gonna vote for someone who seems to be way to obvious.

[Dresden]

then don't fucking vote at all you dumbshit.

[ryuuzaki]

If we don't vote then the robots don't die and they get to vote for one of us to die.

Would you rather not vote and let the robots live or vote for a random person and hope its a robot?

Like I said if anyone finds solid evidence against someone then I will change my vote so quit bitching about my vote and find some evidence

Note: It doesn't matter if I vote for Jewishjosh if no one else votes for him then he won't be killed.

[jewishjosh]

I'm willing to wager that gordanthefree - the guy we'd planned to kill because he'd be a liability - is lying low for a reason. He was antsy about starting the game and all of a sudden he hasn't posted. This is not an official vote yet.

[blltmssgy]

Or it could be that Gordonthefree is TO'd (http://forums.explosm.net/showpost.php?p=407134&postcount=49).

I am really tempted to vote for ryuuzaki, because from his logic it seems like he might actually be a bad robot, just killing to kill.

[Sniperfire]

I think a bad bot trying to kill people would be just a little more subtle than that, blltmssgy. Barring any really obvious clues, i'm not voting this round either.

[blltmssgy]

Yeah, but even if he isn't a bad bot, he still is going after people randomly, which is in no way helpful to innocents. Suppose he's right on JJ, then it'll give him reason to guess about more people, inevitably killing innocents for no reason. Whereas if he's wrong he does it any way. Do we really want that?

(notice I haven't voted yet, but I have no reason what so ever to believe that JJ is guilty)

[ryuuzaki]

Blltmssgy like I said I'm only voting with a geuss, I'll change my vote if I see evidence, and I'm not gonna choose not to vote because if everyone does that we have no chance at getting a robot, and like I said it doesnt matter if I vote for Jewishjosh because as long as no one else votes for him he won't die (unless the robots kill him) but we really have no control over that and I doubt they will kill him since he doesn't seem to be a threat.

If they do kill him then the only reason I could think of for why they would kill him is to make me look guilty.

[ryuuzaki]

And I'm not gonna vote for someone random each round.

I'm sure that in the next round we might actually find some good evidence.

[blltmssgy]

Then don't vote for anyone, can't you see that your logic is flawed? We have evidence that people out there are robots, take the whole Inseln thing for example, don't just pick someone random and then say: "Oh, if I see evidence I'll change my vote." People have been giving evidence you just chose to ignore it and pick a name out of a hat.

[jewishjosh]

We have a lot of good evidence pointing towards Inseln, Mirrorman, and that youtube thing, we just don't know what any of it means. My bad on the TO.

[ryuuzaki]

I saw the evidence about inseln being a robot and I also saw someone saying that there was like a 50% chance that inseln was innocent. I also said that I watched the previous explosm game and everyone was killing innocent people in the first round and they were killing people who they thought were obviously guilty and yet they were all wrong.

But if you want to keep bitching about it instead of doing something useful then I will withdraw my vote and not vote for anyone so now the robots can win and kill us all (I hope you're happy you whiny bitch).

[ryuuzaki]

So I withdraw my vote this round.

[green rubber bands]

Blltmssgy like I said I'm only voting with a geuss, I'll change my vote if I see evidence, and I'm not gonna choose not to vote because if everyone does that we have no chance at getting a robot, and like I said it doesnt matter if I vote for Jewishjosh because as long as no one else votes for him he won't die (unless the robots kill him) but we really have no control over that and I doubt they will kill him since he doesn't seem to be a threat.

If they do kill him then the only reason I could think of for why they would kill him is to make me look guilty.

Stop trying to live up to your name, because you aren't good at it.


I'm tempted to vote for Gordon, but I'll wait until he gets back to defend himself.

[jewishjosh]

In my defense,

But if you want to keep bitching about it instead of doing something useful then I will withdraw my vote and not vote for anyone so now the robots can win and kill us all (I hope you're happy you whiny bitch).

I haven't once tried to defend myself despite your mindless accusations. Pay some fucking attention before you snap at me. I haven't bitched, whined, or anything, I only suggested a few new things. I never said your stabbing at me in the dark was a bad thing, I merely pointed out a few clues that I think might work better. You have good reason to believe that being sensible won't work, but who are you to say that being insensible will be any better?

I used the Beefheart clue to find the Mirrorman clue, so don't say I'm not "doing something useful." Again, pay attention. Douche.

The first round does not decide the game, unless we kill the only good guy with magical powers. Why yes, the robots will win if I don't die this round. Pull your finger out of your ass and stop acting like it's the end of the world if we don't listen to your shitty excuse for logic. You know what? I'll vote for, oh let's say, GCBC. Blltmssgy can vote for Sniperfire, BKS can vote for Shadowpriest, and History can vote for g_r_b, who will vote for Dresden. Random votes are only catastrophic if everyone bandwagons behind someone like you. Anyway, I suggest we all shape up and find some meaning behind the clues before we all bandwagon against a random victim.

I have half a mind to vote for you because you seem like a big liability, but I'm strongly against grudge votes, and I don't think you're a robot, so I won't vote for you unless a few other people think it's a good idea.

/Quadros

[Shadowpriest]

Im still quite surprised at the fact that Far hasn't TO'd Ryuuzaki for his triple double post in the same page.

[BKS]

If we don't vote then the robots don't die and they get to vote for one of us to die.

Would you rather not vote and let the robots live or vote for a random person and hope its a robot?

Like I said if anyone finds solid evidence against someone then I will change my vote so quit bitching about my vote and find some evidence

Note: It doesn't matter if I vote for Jewishjosh if no one else votes for him then he won't be killed.

Yeah, because our track record for first round voting is merely limited to civilians. It seems we've managed to kill of one of the most important people for the good guys EVERY time we've voted first round. Ryuuzaki, even if you removed your vote, you've gone and fucked yourself over for the rest of the game.


Benjamin has had that quote on his MSN for a while now (before the game started)

also Die Hard and Ben both said that all the clues would be posted in this thread.

Yeah, and his post in this thread led to a youtube video, which coincidentally, has lyrics that make up his MSN name. Obviously there is something important about the lyrics to that song.

[BKS]

*Fuck me double post*

[Dresden]

Seeing this page's argument has reinforced my decision to note vote this first round. At least not till a few clues are figured out. That long anagram? or the cypher?

[Inseln]

I wouldn't have a clue (no pun intended). Has anyone else got anything on it yet?

[Robo_Sexual]

BKS, I believe Robo-Sexual is bi. LMAO ummmm, opening story clues? What?

Alright. here are my thoughts. I think the reason there apear to be so many clues is because each one is for something different. Remember the different roles... Army, Civilians, Evil, and Good Robots. Also: the "villagers" link reminds us to remember how many kinds of robots there are: two. So, this means, with the clue for Inseln, they could be either a good or a bad robot. I am going to reason that Inseln is probably a Good Robot.

- the link to the Robot blog, ("Robot Co-op" a very cooperative, peaceful, non-evil sounding name. But I think it does mean Inseln is a robot. A GOOD robot.)

Now, Captian Beefheart. The Youtbe link (http://youtube.com/watch?v=-lBbMzi5NrI) confirms that it is the musician being referred to. Gordon the Free could be hinted at from the youtuber's screenname, but again this might mean nothing at all. It could also be meant as Mirror Man discography link. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000J7A4/thecaptainbeefhe)(scroll down to track titles).

-this clue is offered outside of the story. It comes in a post about PMing votes. Roles that need to PM? Evil Robots, and Army, I think. That means that this clue is for either an Evil Robot or an Army member.

- It could be meant to be either GordontheFree or Mirrorman.


The 'GENTLEMAN' link probably means just the citizens... That's all I can think of right now. Those are all the clues we found yet, right?

So, I'm thinking Mirrorman is probably the evil robot. Just because that seems like a really strong clue (although you do have to go out of your way to find it). Refraining from voting on it just yet, but that is how I feel.

USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST. (http://forums.explosm.net/bankamp/)
Reason: LMAO ummmmmm, don't do that.

[Mirrorman]

Wow, I haven't even posted and already people are thinking I'm the bad guy. It looks like I never shouldn't have changed my name.
Also I think the best clue yet is against Gordon the Free, so I'm voting against him.

[ryuuzaki]

In my defense,

I wasn't talking to you I was talking to blltmssgy. I withdrawed my vote and I'm not gonan vote for a random person for the rest of the game so everyone just clam done and forgot I said anything. Lets just act like sophisticated people.

One flaw with your plan. It's more likely than not that both Army and Evil Robot send votes by PM, but do Good Robots get to have any powers either? Until we know either way, we can't assume that they don't.


Here is a theory: Gentleman was a reference to Diehard's old avatar. So, perhaps, if the Gentleman clue was referring to a civilian, is it possible that Diehard's post is a clue about who that civilian may be?

[ryuuzaki]

You guys have to remember, there might be some fake clues. And I'm going to go right out there and say it; These are (http://forums.explosm.net/showpost.php?p=463499&postcount=11) one clue (http://forums.explosm.net/showpost.php?p=463568&postcount=17) together. And it isn't fake.

[Dauntasa]

I'm going to vote for ryuuzaki. He ignored all of the evidence and voted at random. He is either a stupid Robot or a stupid civilian, either way he's not going to be any help to us.

[Sniperfire]

I'm voting for Gordon the Free as well, because of Robo_Sexual's evidence, and the fact that if we kill him and he is indeed a good guy, at least we know Mirrorman is a bad guy. Plus, we don't have to worry about Gordon the Free killing us all.

Edit: I'm Withdrawing my vote since it seems like spiffy is dead anyway.

[Shadowpriest]

I'm going to vote for ryuuzaki. He ignored all of the evidence and voted at random. He is either a stupid Robot or a stupid civilian, either way he's not going to be any help to us.

How many times has this happened in the past games? Do you recall how each ended?

[Triple J]

I believe that since Gordan The Free is the best lead we have, I am voting against him. See Sniperfire's post why.

[Con-Con]

I'm not going to vote this round.

[Shadowpriest]

I'd vote for Gordon, but it would be no fair to kill off somebody without any defense... when does his TO pass?

[davidmanman]

What evidence is there against Gordon? That the youtube video has an account with giordan in it? Or was there something I missed? Because if there isn't that's a pretty bad reason to vote for someone.

New info/clues

At the moment I have not seen enough evidence that shows that someone is a bad robot, though I have seen some that shows that some are not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

[MrDoctor]

Yo I'm not voting this round just posting since I'm out of T'O. But besides that i think the Gordon evidence is the strongest so far so we should follow that evidence up.

[Shadowpriest]

According to Ban Kamp Gordon's TO is over... you think maybe he forgot about the game?

If he doesnt defend himself soon he's probably going to die.

[jewishjosh]

The Gordon evidence is weak. Giordano would translate to Jordan, not Gordon, and even then the youtube user reference is a stretch. He's been in TO and if you check his profile he hasn't been online since his ban was lifted. The Beefheart clue points much more strongly to Mirrorman, and Robo-Sexual's put together enough pieces for me to be confident in my vote. I think he's a safer bet than Gordon. Ben confirmed that the Beefheart thing is not a fake clue. He said the youtube link and the beefheart clue point to the same thing, both point to Mirrorman but only one, and only barely, to Gordon.

Also, I don't know if this clue was here before, follow the links in Ben's last post:
ILIAHSANSLATMITHHEIATSTJSICUSSTWSSSIPIAMLFMSSFSLMY

[Dresden]

Yeah, that Mirrorman clue does sound rather solid. I'll put my vote there, and if anything new pops up, I'll change my mind.

[davidmanman]

I worked a little on the anagram, but I'm not really getting much of anywhere. One thing I did find out was that only 2 people currently in this game have names that fit into the anagram, Spiffy13 and Pieman. Not really sure if that's worth much of anything though. Oh, and for those who want to try solving it, I seperated it by letter.

The thing is Josh, that clue doesn't point to mirrorman, because if it did that video of Cpt. Beef Heart would be of the mirrorman song, because Ben just told us that those two clues (cpt beef heart and the youtube video go together and the video is not of the mirrorman song). We need to find out what the long code is before we act on this clue.

In other words, these two clues go together, and the first one only points to mirrorman after looking through the discography, and the youtube video is of the song "her eyes are a blue million miles," not of mirrorman.
And even with that all that means is that mirrorman/gordon is a good bot, a bad bot, or part of the army.

[jewishjosh]

Wow, I haven't even posted and already people are thinking I'm the bad guy. It looks like I never shouldn't have changed my name.
Also I think the best clue yet is against Gordon the Free, so I'm voting against him.

I'm just gonna add that as soon as Robo-Sexual said it's either Mirrorman or Gordon, Mirrorman pointed to Gordon, claiming the evidence is stronger than it would seem, based on my last post.

Also, I think Robo's on the right track with the four groups, four clues thing.

David - Robo-Sexual was convincing. The Robot Co-op thing seems to indicate that Inseln is a good robot, and if we're going by Robo-Sexual's four clues theory, it points to Mirrorman being an evil robot. Besides, we have to start somewhere, and this is as good a lead as we're gonna get.

Edit: Bllt - damn this is suddenly so confusing. For now I still think Mirrorman is more likely than anyone else to be a bad robot, and I'll stand by that for the time being, though I do agree the new clue will be useful if we can crack it. At this point I'd just rather convince people not to vote for Gordon because I feel Mirrorman's a safer bet.

[MrDoctor]

I don't think that the "ILIAHSANSLATMITHHEIATSTJSICUSSTWSSSIPIAMLFMSSFSLMY" thing will help us because you can't spell out robot,bad,army,or civilian. So it's probably a cipher of some sort.

[davidmanman]

Yeah, okay, I looked over the posts and I'm relatively convinced that Mirrorman is an evil robot. (EDIT: Taken back with the Spiffy clue) Not sure however, and I am willing to consider other people with new uncovered evidence.

[blltmssgy]

Just throwing it out there, but we have two people who definitely seem to be something other than civilian. They are: Inseln (either good robot or bad robot) and Mirrorman (army, good robot, or bad robot). I see no evidence as to which they'd be, so even if Robo-Cop's 4 clue idea is true, we still have no reason to find that Inseln is a good robot and Mirrorman a bad robot, let alone not an army guy.

Inseln - 50% chance evil.
Mirrorman - 33% chance evil.
Gordon the Free - Shaky clue against him.
Ryuuzaki - a liability to innocents.

Those aren't number's I'd bet on, so I ask you:
Why are we choosing Mirrorman?

Because people love jumping on band wagons.

[davidmanman]

How is army a consideration for Mirrorman?

[Inseln]

Okay, since you all seem to have forgotten; The missing letters in the intro spell out

'Don't over think things'

While have deep and meaningfuls about the clues, keep that in mind.
Speaking of which, the most definate clues we've had so far (keeping in mind that Benjamin confirmed that) is the youtube video that has the Cpt. Beefheart song about the girl. You people theorised that the girl was a prime suspect of some sort, and isn't robo sexual a girl? And there's also reference ot the Mirrorman song.

And then we have the white letters in one of Benjamin's other posts saying Cpt. Beefheart. With the random jumble of letters that read 'ILIAHSANSLATMITHHEIATSTJSICUSSTWSSSIPIAMLFMSSFSLM Y ?' With the question mark that most of you seem to have missed, I'm guessing it's a crypic question of some sort once deciphered. To what? I'm not sure.

I'm just giving you guys food for thought so have fun.

Think anagrams. Got it.

Someone get on anagramming that humongous thing with a lot of S's.

Also, this kind of clears Gordon for now.

[blltmssgy]

How is army a consideration for Mirrorman?

Because the beef heart clue was about people who send in PM's, which is anyone besides civilians.

[History]

So who speaks spanish on here? Maybe we should translate the description of the video on youtube. It comes out incomplete through an internet translator, so maybe someone that is fluent can help? Just an idea. By the way, I don't buy the gordon "clue" Josh is right, it would translate to Jordan. The whole name would be Robert Jordan, late author of the Wheel of Time.

PS Josh it does not say "think anagrams", it says "think acronyms".

Look at the second part "I was expecting this game to develop so quickly" this must mean we are going in the right direction, and Inslen (sorry if I spelt it wrong) seems to be in a very big hurry to clear his name of anything.

I'm not voting yet, but I think ryuuzaki is guilty. First of all for the senseless vote, second of all because I wikipedia'd the name. I did not know this but Umi Ryuuzaki is an anime character. Represents the element water. Apparently part of the name represents the sea. Don't forget the lyrics, perhaps of the song clue. "In her eyes I see the sea". Going to class now, try not to kill each other over this game.

Gordan, the way you're acting is just making me more and more suspicious of you. You keep throwing nonsensical clues out there and your argument clearing your name sucked.

Yes, a robot can be that stupid.

[GCBC]

I'm going to go out on a limb and point out that in the beginning description it says that both Mirrorman and Insuln guy were doing whatever peacefully. I would therefore guess that if either (or both) were robots, that they might be good robots.

Or am I over thinking things here?

[jewishjosh]

PS Josh it does not say "think anagrams", it says "think acronyms".

Bastard changed it. I can't tell if it was a legit mistake or if he's fucking with our minds.

Don't forget the lyrics means read the lyrics (http://www.beefheart.com/walker/lyrics/mm/mirrorman.htm) to the Mirrorman song by Beefheart. I did at one point, and they made no sense. But again, Ben says it's all part of the same clue, so if anyone can make sense of the lyrics to Mirrorman, that would be awesome.

GCBC, you have a good point, but you're included in that grouping so I have to take this with a grain of salt. Opening story clues don't seem to be our best bet in these games, especially when Ben gives us so many others.

"ILIAHSANSLATMITHHEIATSTJSICUSSTWSSSIPIAMLFMSSFSLMY ?"

Lyrics for the song:
"I look at her and she looks at me
In her eyes I see the sea
I can`t see what she sees in a man like me
She says she loves me


Her eyes
Her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles


Far as I can see
She loves me


Her eyes
Her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles


Far as I can see
She loves me


I look at her and she looks at me
In her eyes I see the sea
I can`t see what she sees in a man like me
She says she loves me


Her eyes
Her eyes
Her eyes are a blue million miles"

Looks like every letter in that crazy thing is the first letter of the words in the song, with extras thrown in, no?

Extra letters spell out "Isn't that just Spiffy?"

So I am willing to bet that clue points to spiffy.

[jewishjosh]

Good find. Now, if all these Beefheart clues point to one person only, is the Mirrorman song a coincidence?

[MrDoctor]

Also we need to find out if they are good or evil. Thats the one thing were missing.

[blltmssgy]

No Josh you keep forgetting that the song in the video was not mirrorman, it was "Her Eyes are a Blue Million Miles." Which is not even on the same album as Mirrorman, and the hint is pointing to that song considering Ben has continuously been telling us that both go together, you can't just ignore that youtube video.

EDIT: Vote rescinded useless rambling after this point no longer needed.

[GCBC]

BlltMssGy, I think it's interesting that what I figured out clearly points to Spiffy13 and yet you are voting for Ryuuzaki. Trying to start a bandwagon? Looks like it.

Edit: because the acronym doesn't point to the lyrics, it is the lyrics, plus Spiffy's name.

[davidmanman]

Bulletproof, it doesn't point to those lyrics, it points to Spiffy13. GCBC even pointed that out (as did I earlier, though hers was much more definitive). The lyrics were likely only to be used to decifer the clue. Also, Benjamin said that the clue pointed to only 1 person. With the new clue discovery, the one person is obviously Spiffy13, and not Ryuuzaki.

[Penguin_Of_Death]

*Edited*
Nevermind, was already posted

[GCBC]

If you take out the extra letters from the lyrics it spells out
"Isnt that just spiffy ?"

Thanks for clarifying that :indiff:

[blltmssgy]

EDIT: David this line just changed my mind:

"The lyrics were likely only to be used to decifer the clue."

You are probably right there, so I rescind my vote, and am going to give some thought about Spiffy13.

But I am still very suspicious about Ryuuzaki.

[jewishjosh]

Okay bllt you've convinced me, I'm withdrawing my vote for Mirrorman. It seems likely that the song "Mirrorman" is a red herring clue.

However - we have one clue pointing directly at Spiffy. We have another pointing indirectly at Ryuuzaki, whom I'm sure we all want to get rid of. But the lyrics acronym doesn't even tell us whether or not Spiffy's a good robot or a bad one, so we're no better off than before.

Edit - when did Ben say that?
Edit2 - now I look like I'm talking to myself because bllt changed his entire post.

[davidmanman]

My CBH clue was intended to be about one person and one person only. HTKNI SCOMAYRN.

Here.

[MrDoctor]

So anybody figure out what Spiffy is?

[ryuuzaki]

So now everyones voting for me just because I did what i thought was right earlier? Even though I withdrew my vote.

I'm not as dumb as you all think I am but everyone just seems to be hell bent on bandwagoning me later on. I think I'm starting to see who the robots might be.

[davidmanman]

A person playing in the game with the name Spiffy13, perhaps? :indiff:

Edit: Ryuuzaki, I don't think anyone's voting for you at the moment.

[GCBC]

So now everyones voting for me just because I did what i think was right earlier? Even though I withdrew my vote.

No, everyone was voting for you because you're an idiot.

[ryuuzaki]

You must have quoted me before I edited my post go back and read it.

[davidmanman]

Ryuuzaki, just because people called you stupid (with a damn good reason too) doesn't mean that they are robots. It makes people find you to be a liability when you vote for someone without justification of some sort. And besides, the only one who actually voted for you was Blltmssgy, and he thought he had a clue. You're not a victim of a mass robot conspiracy, you're just a bit retarded.

[GCBC]

Well, my official vote is going to Spiffy13 because of the clue posted above.

[gordanthefree]

Gordan, the way you're acting is just making me more and more suspicious of you. You keep throwing nonsensical clues out there and your argument clearing your name sucked.

Yes, a robot can be that stupid.

How am I making you suspicious? I'm only re-typing out all the evidence to blame someone.

EDIT: voting for Spiffy13 because of the evidence posted above is very concrete.

[davidmanman]

Hey, Pieman's name fits into the annagram, he was also not mentioned in the first post, he also has not posted yet, suspicious?

It's suspicious because that is not evidence, just a few things you pulled together to try to put the suspicion on someone other than yourself.

[ryuuzaki]

Ryuuzaki, just because people called you stupid (with a damn good reason too) doesn't mean that they are robots. It makes people find you to be a liability when you vote for someone without justification of some sort. And besides, the only one who actually voted for you was Blltmssgy, and he thought he had a clue. You're not a victim of a mass robot conspiracy, you're just a bit retarded. I'm not retarded and if you didn't notice Dauntasa voted for me to without even considering mirrorman or gordan. When I said I think I'm starting to see who the robots might be I was refering to him.

[blltmssgy]

No, Dauntasa is just a registered asshole.

EDIT: After thinking it over, I have decided to vote for Spiffy13, but wait until he defends himself to actually cast that vote. If he has not defended himself by tomorrow and no good evidence has turned up, I am placing my vote anyways since that is the last day of the round.

[davidmanman]

He is either a stupid Robot or a stupid civilian, either way he's not going to be any help to us.

And Dauntasa voted for you because he believed you were a liability even if you might not be a robot.

We finally decifered that clue, it led to Spiffy13 and that's who I'm voting for.

[jewishjosh]

Ryuufag, why don't you do something useful instead of fuss about who's pointing fingers at whom.

This one's official, my vote's for Spiffy

Ryuuzaki and Dresden were in an ol' fashioned bare-knuckle-brawl.

That kinda makes me think of Rock 'em Sock 'em robots, anyone else? Just some food for thought.

Ryuufag, why don't you do something useful instead of fuss about who's pointing fingers at whom.

If everyone wants to make the assumption that I'm just an idiot that can't make decisions for himself then fine I'll join you're bandwagon, but if I'm right about Dauntasa being a bad robot then I want everyone to stop bitching about my previous decisions.

[gordanthefree]

Ok, Ok, I guess it was a little suspicious. Anymore evidence?

[ryuuzaki]

So I'm voting for Spiffy13

[blltmssgy]

I'm not as dumb as you all think I am but everyone just seems to be hell bent on bandwagoning me later on. I think I'm starting to see who the robots might be.

So I'm voting for Spiffy13

You are quick to condemn bandwagoning, but then without even hearing a response from Spiffy, you jump on the bandwagon against him?

[Sniperfire]

Ryuuzaki, you don't have to give every sentence it's own post. Just letting you know.

[ryuuzaki]

You are quick to condemn bandwagoning, but then without even hearing a response from Spiffy, you jump on the bandwagon against him?
Everyone else is voting for him and everyone says I can't make my own decisions so I'm just gonna go with what everyone else is going with.

Now that I'm doing what you guys are doing you get mad at me when I'm not doing anything wrong.

Edit: To Sniperfire sorry about that.

[Inseln]

:band:
So everyone's bandwagoning?
It must be hard work, jump from wagon to wagon all the time. Good exercise though :P Maybe I should start...

[redbayredneck]

I'm placing my vote for spiffy.

[MrDoctor]

Is it too late to get on the wagon?

[gordanthefree]

Not for you it isn't MrDoctor :D

[Spiffy13]

Woah, woah, woah - what is happening? First of all, for all you know I'm just a robot - not sure if I'm good or bad. How is that any better evidence than the evidence against Inseln or Mirrorman? Clues can point to things other than just bad robots.
Secondly, Ryu is acting like a 10 year old. In his previous post he said, "Everyone else is voting for him and everyone says I can't make my own decisions so I'm just gonna go with what everyone else is going with." - he seems like he's trying to get all eyes off of him and onto someone else, just like what he did with Jewishjosh.

[History]

Sorry spiff man, but GCBC seems to have really cracked the clue, and kudos to her. I am willing to vote on that logic because it makes the most sense and take the chance that you are a good robot. Logically, there are fewer good robots than bad robots since there are more bad robot roles. Officially my vote goes to Spiffy13.

[blltmssgy]

Now that I have heard you, and you haven't convinced me otherwise, and considering this is the strongest clue we have, my vote goes to you Spiffy13.

EDIT (To Ryu): I was just pointing out your hypocracy that when 1 person voted against you, you yelled and screamed, but you took the opportunity to kill someone off real quick.

[Inseln]

Don't worry Spiffy, I believe you're a good robot (although that might just be my coffee). I don't think I'll vote this round, if you're a good robot, then we'll just end up killing off an innocent. And I don't know about you but I personally believe that's a bad thing.

Ignore my whimsicalness, I'm on caffine...

How about we join the 'let us wait untill a surefire clue comes along' bandwagon? That seems safer.

You young'un risk takers can vote all you want!! *shakes fist*
But I'm not going to vote. Not until the next round at least anyway...

[gordanthefree]

How many votes to kill someone? or is it just the majority?

*sigh of relief* everyone is finally off my back

[BKS]

"Dont over think things."


This is telling me, go to the first clue, and maybe the first two basis of solving for the clue, and work from there.

[gordanthefree]

Then could we be wrong about Spiffy? that could be overthinking

[Spiffy13]

I just noticed something in the intro: This went on and on as GCBC and Mirrorman had thoughts of either suicide, or murder, just to get him to shut up. Only a bad robot would have thoughts of murder, right? And since there is already clues pointing towards Mirrorman, isn't this pretty strong evidence that Mirrorman is a bad robot?

[Inseln]

BKS that is the most logical thing I've heard all day. Shall we work together? Two heads are better than one, as they say...

[Sniperfire]

I'm pretty sure you only need one vote to kill someone, assuming only one person votes and there's no opposition.

[jewishjosh]

I don't think we're overthinking things, Ben has given us a whole chain of clues leading to Spiffy. Voting for ryuuzaki based on the lyrics is overthinking things.

I have a suspicion that if we're right about Inseln being a good robot, s/he's urging us not to kill Spiffy because Spiffy is also a good bot. But my vote still stands for now.

[gordanthefree]

Looks like someone is going for a finger in another direction. But it may be a strong reason why GCBC and Mirrorman were both not posting for a while, they also did not make their votes public. (did they?)

BKS that is the most logical thing I've heard all day. Shall we work together? Two heads are better than one, as they say...

Aye, sounds like a plan.



And if I may point out, and this may just be geek shit here, are robots capable of suicide?

[gordanthefree]

In robots it is called "self termination" and yes it is possible as all they need to do is set the login boot scripts to off and then shut them selves down.

[blltmssgy]

Gordon you seem to know a lot about robots.

Hey, Gordon, how would you know that? (Thank you bllt for posting that before me)

And BKS how are we going to work together, pm or something?

[gordanthefree]

Hahahahahahaha, nice way to point fingers at me. I'm a nerd, and I've seen the movie terminator too.

EDIT: be back tomorrow, don't kill me off until then please.

[MrDoctor]

All most too much about robots.

[Inseln]

You're safe, we have one more day of voting left? Or is that just me because I'm a few timezones ahead of everyone?

[BKS]

In robots it is called "self termination" and yes it is possible as all they need to do is set the login boot scripts to off and then shut them selves down.

If I recall, he couldnt self-terminate in the 2nd one, and in I, Robot, one law was no self termination.

Your lucky I'm trapped in the twillight zone.

[Dresden]

That kinda makes me think of Rock 'em Sock 'em robots, anyone else? Just some food for thought.
Edit: If it is indeed a reference to Rock 'em Sock 'em, then it's logical to assume that one of them is a good bot and one is a bad bot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Em_Sock_Em_Robots

Interesting idea, but I can assure you I'm not a robot. I could send you a screenshot of my PM if you want.

Anyway, based on the evidence given earlier, Spiffy13 IS looking pretty concrete. I'm not 100% sure if I want to cast my vote yet.

Either way, I withdraw my vote for Mirrorman.

[Spiffy13]

If I recall, he couldnt self-terminate in the 2nd one, and in I, Robot, one law was no self termination. Can't they self-destruct?

[Inseln]

Your lucky I'm trapped in the twillight zone

Isn't that a science fiction TV show?

[Dresden]

I didn't say that. MrDoctor did. The post is like 3 above yours. Good job. But yes, it's an old TV show.

[Inseln]

Whoops, my bad. My coffee is wearing off. :( I'm not going to have another one though.

Anyway, the clue 'GDGHPE FOGLDS OL', what do we all think about that?

EDIT: Here's my theory. you know the puzzle book about the elephant called the 11th hour? you know how at the end you have to find the right letter and make the code starting from that letter and you use that to unjumble to rest of the code?

eg
K = A
L = B
M = C
N = D
O = E
P = F

And the like? What if it's like that, all we would have to do is find the right letter...

[Dresden]

I'm no good at all with anagrams or cyphers, unfortunately. So I'm clueless (no pun intended) on those clues.

[gordanthefree]

Sure Inseln, I'll get right on that. Anyone else gonna try and be smart?

[Inseln]

Well, I have to go soon. So I'm not even gonna try untill tomorrow considering you might have to go through the entire alphabet, and that's if I'm right...

[davidmanman]

Well, I have to go soon. So I'm not even gonna try untill tomorrow considering you might have to go through the entire alphabet, and that's if I'm right...

I tried it, it didn't work. Nothing understandable came out in the shifts I narrowed it down to.

[Sniperfire]

I'm not going to be able to get to a computer regularly for the next few days, although i will be able to at least once a day, so i'm still in the game. Just letting you know that if i'm a little slow to respond to something, it's because i'm trapped in amish country.

[Mirrorman]

Looks like someone is going for a finger in another direction. But it may be a strong reason why GCBC and Mirrorman were both not posting for a while, they also did not make their votes public. (did they?)

Maybe the reason is that I'm in a different time-zone?
People DO need to get sleep you know.

[gordanthefree]

Which timezone are you in? And you guys did try and kill me like 4-10 times when I was TO'd

[Demoir]

Holy shit 3 pages since I read this last night.

Anyway, Spiffy is definately looking to be some kind of a robot and I also like the idea of the Rock Em Sock Em Robots potential clue.

[BKS]

Hey, we gotta get out shit together. We have until tommorow to figure out these clues and make our pick.

[DieHard]

ATTENTION
Just a reminder, the round ends tomorrow at 3:30 PM eastern. Have your votes in by then, and all army and robot PM sent to me or Ben. We WILL start the next round even if you have not voted or send a PM.

[redbayredneck]

Do we vote via PM or just post it in the thread?

USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST. (http://forums.explosm.net/bankamp/)
Reason: Try reading the thread rules first.

[Dresden]

they told us this in the frickin rules thread, pay attention. You post your vote here.

[Crabstick]

Voting for Spiffy13

I picked up the same clue as GCBC, but couldn't post it cuz I got TO'd for being a wanker. Even so, give her the credit, she's cuter and has detective skills.

Do we vote via PM or just post it in the thread?

The mob vote you put here, in bold to make it clear. Stuff that needs to be PMed gets PMed (obviously).

[redbayredneck]

Voting for spiffy13 also

[GCBC]

Looks like someone is going for a finger in another direction. But it may be a strong reason why GCBC and Mirrorman were both not posting for a while, they also did not make their votes public. (did they?)

I didn't realize that the game had started. Once I saw that it did, I jumped right in. I hardly think I can be accused of not participating or anything. Yes, I made my vote very public. I think that perhaps you are grasping at straws my friend.

EDIT: TO DRESDEN- NO POSTING SCREEN SHOTS. THAT RUINS THE GAME AND I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DO.

On a side note, don't do this if you wish to keep playing this game.

[gordanthefree]

Figures mirror man, I'm in GMT+12.

Sorry about accusing you there GCBC, I seriously needed attention off myself if you look a couple pages back.

[jewishjosh]

I'm placing my vote for spiffy.

Do we vote via PM or just post it in the thread?

:think:

Methinks you might have a special role. Just throwing it out there.

[Knight of Cydonia]

I agree with you JJ. I'm not voting this round because it seems like we always kill an innocent.

[gordanthefree]

Do we get to know if we kill an innocent straight after we have? or after the game is over and it is really fucking obvious?

[green rubber bands]

Do we get to know if we kill an innocent straight after we have? or after the game is over and it is really fucking obvious?

It's usually included in the update.

[Robo_Sexual]

Spiffy13 - great work on that clue, everyone.

I am still curious about 'GDGHPE FOGLDS OL', What on earth does it mean?
It isn't a hint at lyrics and it isn't a cypher. Is it just meant to confuse? I can't think of any other tricks to use for it. I tried shifting the letters forward and backward in the alphabet. If you sift each letter forward one, the last 'OL' becomes 'PM' which sort of makes sense, but then the rest does not make sense. So. I don't really know.

[ryuuzaki]

I'm voting for Spiffy13.

[blltmssgy]

So I'm voting for Spiffy13

I'm voting for Spiffy13.

Telling us once is enough man.

[gordanthefree]

This round is lasting for fucking ever, can we hurry along?

Yay, I have a friend :D

[davidmanman]

Gordan, be patient.

[Pieman]

I'm voting forSpiffy13. I was leaning towards Mirrorman until GCBCs anagram thingy.

Also, I haven't posted before this because of school Gordan ;)

[Spiffy13]

I honestly still don't get why so many people think I'm a bad robot rather than Mirrorman.

[blltmssgy]

Because the anagram points directly towards you.

[davidmanman]

You were the main clue of the update. Mirrorman was likely a red herring.

[MrDoctor]

I honestly still don't get why so many people think I'm a bad robot rather than Mirrorman.

Almost every single clue points too you. Unless you find out with solid evidence who every other robot is then your going to die. Either way your screwed.

[Knight of Cydonia]

I think he is already dead. The votes are in already aren't they?

[gordanthefree]

Wait until Benjaman or Die Hard updates, don't assume that he is dead.

As I have said in the past multiple times, "I needed people to get off my back and onto someone else's"

[Inseln]

So we don't get anymore clues? The next clues are in the next round and we all sit back and watch Spiffy 'die'?

[gordanthefree]

Of course, I told you we should hurry this up.

But NO, I have to be patient.

[Inseln]

I know how you feel. Good thing while I'm asleep this will probably end. Even if it doesn't, I'll only be able to get on tomorrow night at about 5 or 6 pm. And that's my time. I don't know what the GMT is but I think it's +11 or so...

[Mirrorman]

DieHard told that the update will be today, yesterday :indiff:. Be Patient

[Inseln]

I know. I, unlike Gordon, have patience. Just not too much of it.

[MrDoctor]

Come on update, I want to see how Spiffy dies.

[Triple J]

I wonder if it will involve alligator clips to the nipples. Or some of the things from the "What Disturbs You" thread.

[DieHard]

Come on update, I want to see how Spiffy dies.

The round ended, updates come tomorrow.

[MrDoctor]

The round ended, updates come tomorrow.

Your joking right? Hahaha funny joke diehard now where's that update.

[Dauntasa]

The round ended, updates come tomorrow.

Woah, did anyone else just have a flashback about the previous game?

[BKS]

Woah, did anyone else just have a flashback about the previous game?

Ironic that you're the one saying that.

[Benjaman]

Woah, did anyone else just have a flashback about the previous game?

What he meant to say was, "It'll be updated once Ben writes the closing of Round 1." Now be patient, I'm moving at my own pace.
And, if the robots have come to a decision, if you would PM me your choice, it'd be appreciated.

[blltmssgy]

Yea! Maybe the robots won't be killing any of us this round.

[davidmanman]

Seriously, calm down. Is it really that difficult to wait?
Edit: Blltmssgy, what?

[gordanthefree]

The robots haven't voted yet, may be a problem for us innocents. Wonder if the robots know who each other are and who the innocents are, etc.

[BKS]

God I hope not. That's pretty much saying "Yeah, you're fucked."

[davidmanman]

Ah, he edited that in after I read his post.

[Benjaman]

Tah Dah!

END ROUND ONE


As the Gazebo top crashed down from it losing support, it fell and began to roll toward the group of villagers. This prompted them all to run, except GRB. As the spinning death-gazebo came toward him, Spiffy13 came out of the crowd and tackled GRB out of the way. The top suddenly stopped spining, and fell into an open area. The crowd picked up Spiffy13 in a congratulatory way, but he was pulled from the middle of the crowd down to the ground, and trampled to death. This being realized, the crowd backed away slowly, revealing sparks and wires. One bad robot down, the crowd thought. Afterwards, everyone went to Pizza Hut for some pizza, of course. On the way there, during a chorus of "Wheels on the Bus", there was a large commotion over who was cooler, Spiderman or The Hulk, and Dresden was thrown out of the bus window. The bus stopped and inspected his injuries. He was definitely innocent. The poor kid didn't even get his pizza. COMMAS

DEATHS:
Dresden- Innocent
Spiffy13- Bad robotMAC NACEHN ENT MOIESTOR

[davidmanman]

The post has the word Commas in white.
Anyone got any ideas on what that might be about?

[Dauntasa]

The post has the word Commas in white.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it's about commas.

[Pig Fucker]

I used an on-line word descrambler, and according to it there are no anagrams in the word commas, so I can only assume that the clue has something to do with commas. There are exactly 15 commas in the update, but I don't know if that means anything. Just some speculation and outloud brainstorming.

As for other possible clues, we may want to focus on "Wheels On The Bus", Spiderman, The Hulk and Pizza Hut, all being topics that could have easily been changed to something else.

[Con-Con]

If you go to reply it says near the bottom "don't point out this clue". I'm a bit suspicious of GRB now.

[davidmanman]

Also, there are more letters. MAC NACEHN ENT MOIESTOR

[blltmssgy]

EDIT: David beat me to it.

[Dauntasa]

This might be a bit of a stretch but there are fifteen commas in that update, and AwesomerThanYou has fifteen letters in his name. This might be a clue but I'm not sure.

[MrDoctor]

This might be a bit of a stretch but there are fifteen commas in that update, and AwesomerThanYou has fifteen letters in his name. This might be a clue but I'm not sure.

Theres also 15 letters in "wheels on the bus" You may be right Dauntasa

[Pig Fucker]

MAC NACEHN ENT MOIESTOR
Is an anagram of "THE COMMAS ARE INNOCENT", so I'm just throwing it out there that whoever the commas refer to is probably innocent.

[BKS]

Commas dont point out this clue.

[davidmanman]

Last edited by Benjaman : 03-29-2008 at 10:43 PM. (adding fake clue somewhere, hah)
Bah, I thought Dauntasa was the registered asshole.

[Con-Con]

But it said don't point out this clue meaning the commas could really be guity.

[davidmanman]

Con-Con, If you start from the word commas, it would read as "Commas don't point out this clue. The commas are innocent."

[Con-Con]

Sorry, I miss read it completely.

[Benjaman]

Sometimes the most obviously guilty are innocent. Didn't even use white text. Aren't you lucky. OH WAIT.:fmita:

[davidmanman]

Sometimes the most obviously guilty are innocent. Didn't even use white text. Aren't you lucky. OH WAIT.:fmita:
Is he perhaps implying that maybe one of those we figured to be a robot is actually innocent. Like Mirrorman perhaps?

[GCBC]

Con-Con, If you start from the word commas, it would read as "Commas don't point out this clue. The commas are innocent."

The best thing I can figure out so far (which is still a stretch) is that if you go look at the first post, only some of the names have commas next to them. Perhaps those people are innocent?

EDIT: Going by that line of thought, Spiffy13's name is underlined in the first post. Perhaps the other names underlined are bad robots too?

[Dresden]

Awwwwww. I died the FIRST ROUND!? Oh well, I get to watch the whole game in peace at least. And for the record, Spiderman is cooler.

[gordanthefree]

Impossible, Spiffy's name has a comma after it, and Dresden's doesn't. Maybe the robots have commas after their names.

[BKS]

The Hulk has a comma after it, whereas Spiderman doesnt.


Any way these could hint towards players?

[davidmanman]

Maybe it's just a fake clue.

[Benjaman]

Maybe you guys should think of clues instead of blindly guessing :fmita:

[Inseln]

Okay, with all the people who have commas after their names in the first post:
Jewish Josh, Bad robot maybe? (see paragraph below)
Spiffy13,Definate bad robot.
Dauntasa,
Mirrorman,
GCBC,
Inseln,
WeeeeWhiteTextLOL
out of that, two people were underlined or half underlined. Spiffy and Jewish Josh. Would that mean that the commas are robots, but the underlined ones are bad? And Ben might have underlined them for emphasis...

[gordanthefree]

Hang on a minute, why the hell would GCBC rat out a robot if he was one? That just doesn't make sense, unless he is a good robot.

Another clue perhaps Ben? please?

EDIT: look at Ben's clue in his edit caption:adding fake clue somewhere, hah.. And that anagram was added in after he wrote that. Meaning that that is probably the fake clue.

[Benjaman]

EDIT: look at Ben's clue in his edit caption:. And that anagram was added in after he wrote that. Meaning that that is probably the fake clue.

Psst. No I didn't.

[gordanthefree]

Didn't you? I'm sorry :(, or is that another fake clue?

[GCBC]

I guarantee that isn't the case either. I didn't notice the comma after Spiffy's name. But my name has a comma after it too, and if I was a bad robot I wouldn't have thrown suspicion on myself out there. And I wouldn't have helped to solve the last clue.

Back to the drawing board I guess.

[Benjaman]

Didn't you? I'm sorry :(, or is that another fake clue?

Nah, but I'll give you another hint: I'll give you a hint: There has been and will be 2 fake clues per round. Also, each clue in the round pertains to a certain subject.

[Inseln]

We don't know anymore. Benjaman is extremely confusing at times.... =\
