Hmm, I think the demise of Barghast wasn't clear. For those who hadn't guessed, he died due to day timing out, any people in appearing in that scene were there because they were affected by Barghast. If that wasn't clear, apologies.Also, as I think I stated before, you people read way too much in the scenes. Details like colors of a pack of cigarettes or clothes are usually directly tied to Appearance PMs, not a broadcast of nationality - that would be rather unfair since I like to keep things cryptic - and succeed. This isn't Spycraft 1, where the stories allowed soft finds and also broadcasted nationality. It is the main reason why you haven't seen dark-skinned people in this game, for example.

Hmm, well there you go. Limited action use I imagine to introduce Barghast then.

Stop trying to spoiling our fun now that you realise you have given too much away!

"Don't just stand there!" she spat at the lackey. "Gather the men. We have to pay someone a visit." He ran. "But first," she said, "I need a cigarette."

A new alt joins the game: Barghast.

I think this post that tellan quoted though Silanah does prove that the lady smoking was the one who introduced Barghast into the game.

The basic's of the case are this (without quotes); I am under the belief that Ruse is chinese due in part to an early post and his reaction to the vote I made on day 1 accusing him of such. We know that Bargahst came back as Chinese syndicate therefore the smoking woman we seen on day 1 and day 2 is Chinese syndicate. We have already seen two chinese spies die and if the chinese started as five including the syndicate member then there is a one and three chance that Ruse is the smoking woman. This is compounded by the posts that liosan quoted which show Ruse being rather bloodthirsty and unhappy that people are not dropping like flies.

Dude, your original assertion that I was Chinese was based on the fact that I was talking a lot about the Chinese on day 1. When I pointed out the truth to you that I had only mentioned the Chinese once the entire day, that somehow made you more sure of your faulty reasoning?

That so does not even make sense.

[Tellan]

I'm also getting a vibe that the cigarette lady is the unassuming lady, but nothing concrete to back that up. If that is the case a fair number more people likely know who she is.

[D'riss]

Possibly, but it is what it is and I am not sugar coating it or pretending it is more than it is.

Im not sure about that. The unassuming lady seems to have basically no remarkable features and chain smoking like the smoker does is hardly unremarkable. Although i cant see any description of the smokers clothes so its hard to tell for sure and the unremarkable lady was said to have been hiding amongst the criminal element.

Thinking about it that could have been emurlahn as that scene did seem like someone hiding amongst the criminal element.

On the strangeness of the Shadow somehow being the same person as Emu, im thinking its either some body double (the extra alt) or some strange chinese faction thing where they all seem to have the same name (less likely but possible)

Right now im really not sure who to go for but there does seem to be a few people i have absolutely no read on who seem to be staying pretty unremarkable.

The other person im wondering about is the owner of the porsche as they seem like a likely candidate for the kidnapping and i remember a scene before that about some woman with a Garrote planning on silencing another woman for a bit so i think they may be a possible scum candidate.

The woman with the dirty blond hair and the prison tattoos crept through the airducts, her shoulder aching. When she arrived at the room, she removed the grill and slid down. A trolley stood opened, weird machinery in it. She approached it cautiously, but when three metres away from it, something unfolded itself, and buzzed angrily at her. It looked like an oversized fly with too many legs, in a black plastic carapace. She swatted it out of the air, but as it fell, one of its legs touched the puncture wounds in her shoulder, causing the wound to open again. Drops of blood splattered the ground. Grunting with pain, she withdrew into the airduct again, none the wiser.

~~

He knelt next to the robot, his eyes filling with concern. “Oh poor baby, what did they do to you?”
It would be a few hours of work to get it operational again, but if the internal harddisk had not been damaged, he would have good footage of the intruder and his or her purpose.

~~

“On behalf of my nation’s diplomatic corps, I would like to hire a conference room in your hotel, for the duration of this day, refreshments placed in it on beforehand. I would also like a room to refresh myself.” The lady, wearing a haltertop and displaying a dolphin tattooed on her belly, didn’t look like the usual clientele, and the clerk started to mouth a polite refusal that was silenced when she did produce a diplomatic passport.

~~

“Hi there,” she said. “Nice shirt.”
He grunted, smoothing his Italian suit. “Why does EVERYONE mention the shirt?” he asked, complaining.
“It is a rather bright pink. Now, on to business, we haven’t got all day for pleasantries.”

~~

She took the big brass chain from her neck, and twisted the medallion with the big pentagram open. An oversized throwing star slid out. Not perfectly balanced, but bound to make an impact. She threw, but her aim was slightly off, or maybe it was the wind, and the man with the mullet just felt something slide through his hair before the shuriken embedded itself in the support beam next to him. She cursed, with a detail that made you wonder how old this tiny little puppet truly was, and dove, placing a small cylinder on the ground, that immediately began to spray smoke and tear gas around. She beat a hasty retreat.

~~

They made an unlikely pair, the long faced man approaching middle age, absorbed in the match, and the young man with the expensive taste in clothes, leaning back as he made his moves and studying everything but the board. “Why are we playing this game?” he asked at some point, with a wink to a lovely young Japanese student.
“I need to know how you think if we are to work together,” the other answered.
“Weird. All you’ll learn is that I have no patience for chess.”

our burglar's denied again.... I htink it's the same one that got shuriken'd on the train.

the second looks related--a passive find response?

third--I dunno preparation?

fourth is a lover link,

fifth looks like a failed Day kill by the ninja girl. don't think I saw a mohawk mentioned before.
last is the chess player making a find/lover connection?cccc

edit: made fifith say last

[Fener]

PS, can we get a vote count, plz?

[Sheltatha Lore]

Hmm, not a whole lot has transpired since I left.

Personally, I wouldn't mind voting for HP or Galain, for reasons already stated by yours truly. And yes, I'd also like to know how much time is left.

[Fener]

I probably won't be back till nighttime.

right now, there are several people I can't get any read on. and Tellan's been the most vocal, yet unassuming one of them

I want to vote him, but I feel my vote will got to waste if I do

[Sheltatha Lore]

Hmm... I MIGHT make it back for time out, but it will be very close. As in, if a lynch happens before actual deadline, I will likely miss it.

As it is, I"m around for a little bit now if anyone wants to mull some theories.

[Fener]

have to go to work. I'll go with my gut on htis one

vote Tellan

I think he might be the chess player. dunno why, but it's the vibe i'm getting off him. and everything in me screams that chess player = villain = scum

see you guys in about 11 hours.

[Eloth]

Right now the only thing i like is what someone said about rashan changing his posting regularity after we discussed lynching non contributors.

I dont see how a persons play style can reflect a description/scene written by PS?....makes no sense.

Seems to me you KNOW he is the chess player either through a find or a scene and cant say as much, or dont want to say as much.

[Galayn Lord]

Looks like last might actually be two people preparing for some kind of double mission ?

[Sheltatha Lore]

I thought Galayn Lord's vote on Meanas might also possibly be "I actually know something but can't reveal" type vote, except both he and Fener have comments along the lines of "I don't really know why" which doesn't do anything to convince me that they might actually know something.


edit: cross post. this was @Eloth
