RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Fine, kill me. Another innocent will disappear. I am not upset, but I know you guys are following behavior, not facts.
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

(WHAT THE INACTIVE ONE?! MURDERER YOU FIEND YOU'RE COLLABORATING WITH MY WII'S INTERNET AREN'T YOU! ASDFG SDTYNWETYBARTAW *noms on wifi*

In all seriousness, I woulda most definitely posted sooner but my neighbor's wifi's been a bit shoddy recently...and we're not talking battles. Now, onto the real reason of my post...)

Maelstra woke up that day. Yet there was definitely a feeling of dread. She knew who had died, if the murderer kept their word. She -knew- it. And it hurt, for one of HER kind to be KILLED for no apparent reason.

Solemnly, she swam to the scene. She swam past her brethren's body without even looking at it. If she looked at any more death, she would just break down. She qouldn't be able to envision anyone else but herself in poor Vaporeon's position...dead, watching her friends die as a ghost.

Oh boy, and there was that Piplup at it again. At once he turned and pointed towards the remaining Vaporeon;

"She's the one! She did it!" he wildly exclaimed, rattling off small amounts of proof her way. However, Maelstra was more than done. "You have every reason to try and frame me with this new evidence!!"

"Shut it for a moment!" she cried, silencing the Piplup. "Think about it this way; why would the murderer want to keep you alive if the murderer was myself? The murderer has absolutely no reason to stay stuck to these notes and letters. The murderer could easily have turned around, said, 'oops, I lied, bb Joeypals!' instead! Think of it this way: why would I keep you alive if you were a threat to me? That right THERE would be solid enough alibi for you.

"But no, it goes on. You're the one that was leading the way, not really reading into all of the clues and the like. You were the one that stated 'I'm a pretty good sense of character when it comes to spotting lies'. But, what have we here? We have someone that can't even keep up with his OWN posts. He assumed he had HP Grass, whereas he had HP Electric. This could be just one of the many clues behind you.

"Oh, but I think I have some justification beyond 'it's an easy thing to forget something that small'. In this sort of game, why do you think we're not allowed to edit our posts? We're supposed to look at EVERY piece of incriminating evidence, here. This includes keeping tabs on what was said in the past. We're supposed to go looking back in all the posts to find out this-or-that concerning the murderer. So one little slip-up and a very conveinent cover up could easily be seen as incriminating.

"In terms of behavior, I believe I have this much to say on the topic: You have always been extremely quick to judge everyone in this case. It's almost as if you're paranoid, trying to get EVERYONE except yourself to take the blame. Now, that somewhat is part of this game, but when it's done SO quickly like this it's extremely suspicious. Voting right away without taking the time to really examine the hints and see who's got a bigger mound of hints, you're really just looking at who has the most conveinent hint from last time. This is not a shoot-n-go game; it's a puzzle solver, a real mystery game. You've always been incredibly quick to put people away like this. That's a strike right there against you.

"Now, we'll start getting to this next part...the gems are fakes part. You seemed to react especially well to this part, my fine watered fowl. You yourself said that the gems were fake. Whether or not that was an intentional mistake, it still looks very poorly on your record that you went along with it. It hurts that you probably were selling gems while a SERIAL MURDERER was on the loose for $2! Come now! Is that any way to act? You've been always quick to change the subject and play innocently.

"Now, I'd like to take a moment to humor you, Piplup, if I will...I'd like to humor you with SOLID evidence. As true as it may be you have evidence against myself, you have what is called 'circumstancial' evidence. So far, the way I see it, there are only 3 solid pieces of evidence that the dead have left for us: 'calm before the storm', 'the writing on the wall' and 'forget this fish'. Which three of these have you connected me to? None. Absolutely none. I could be connected, but you have shown no proof to make these clues solid proof for us. Yet, I think I've already mentioned that 'writing on the wall' most obviously points towards YOU. You were the only one besides Mudkip and Lanturn to have any solid connection with the Unown writing false clue.

"This is just one of many more 'solid' clues that Joeypals!! has against him. I don't think I got all of these in, but these are the major clues that come to my mind when I think of the incriminating evidence against him:

-Water and Ice: Piplup is a penguin-like Pokemon; this immediately files him under the ice category.
-'the writing on the wall': conspired with Snorchu to make a false Unown hint.
-Gems are fake: He was selling fake gems. This one's a bit obvious...
-Motive for killing Luvdisc: As previously noted, he could have not liked the 'wave-paw' theory Luvdisc had.
-Caught in a lie: < what it says. Piplup was caught lying about his Hidden Power being Grass.
-Irregular behavior: very quick to judge people and change subjects and one's mind easily. Anyone but him was targeted.
-Hidden Power Electric: was used on the latest victim. Piplup has already stated that he has Hidden Power Elec near the beginning of the game. This could directly tie him to the latest murder.
-'Look in the most obvious spot to find me': the murder could mean the most active of posters here, Joeypals. He could be hiding behind that title in the most obvious of ways: talking a lot. (If that makes sense?)
-Storm clue: ??? unsure, but he could have more subtle ties to that clue (such as The Storms clan, which I notice shadoworganoid is from...)

"...again, I think I got most of the major ones. It's been a while since I've really had the chance to look at all the notes clearly (see: lack of computer BAH), so forgive me if I've overlooked something.

"...Piplup, I can understand your accusations against me. However, wasn't M just used for 'Murderer' assumably last game? Unless there was a connection to Flare that I can recall...

"Also, concerning Acid Armor...true it is 'acid' armor, but if you think about it, Vaporeon's more known to 'melt' away into water rather than 'burn' away into water. HP Fire is also the main murder method, and since fire and burning go hand in hand, I doubt it'd be the proper language for that note.

"And one last note...I have never voted once during this game. Once. You have voted almost immediately thereafter the next victim was found! I hardly find your theory of setting you up believable. IT's not setting up if you have solid evidence behind you. Again, the proof of not only the clues, but the behaviors you've been giving off to us are plenty to try you against."

Maelstra hesitated there for a moment. Is...is it really, morally alright to take the life of someone else, just because they killed someone? Can we be sure it's him, when we don't have solid proof of the 'Storms' clue? Yet...what if he is the murderer? Can we really just allow him to have his way with more innocent people...? My life is also at the stake now...

"I...I do not want to vote. However, it seems clear to me that we have no choice in the matter. If Joeypals!! is to be believed, and he is an innocent, then we're presented with a difficult problem: having someone with as much evidence against them as he does him. As it stands, it's sad to say but again, he seems most suspicious to me.

"Out of the reasons listed above, I can say with only a small reasonable doubt that Piplup may be the killer. I think we need to consult with Suicune about this further, as well..."
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Let me say this in my defense: it is not behavior that counts (it gets you nowhere, see Werewolf), but facts. What you people are not getting is how perfectly Maelstro, your "comrade" here fits the bill here. Sure, her defense is good, but there are holes in her too.
Calm before the storm- A classic strategy for battling with Vapy is to Calm Mind, then let loose on Hydro Pump or Surf (the Storm)
Water and Ice- Ice Beam is also a move used in shoddy, fitting the bill for this.
Irregular behavior- Unlike all of us, she makes extremely long posts, proclaiming this, that, and the other thing. It would be much simpler just to give simple reasoning without the entire story, no?
HP Fire- Despite me having it (still wondering why Crystal thinks I can remember a post from OVER TWO WEEKS AGO WITHOUT ANYTHING ABOUT IT BEING BROUGHT UP BESIDES THIS), if I am not mistaken, HP Fire is common in Shoddy for Vapy too.
Acid Armor- Acid armor is a move where you burn away and return with defenses raised. Thus, the only Vapy left fits the "For all to burn away and come back stronger" bill.
Last note- Before the note, no one voted for me. Only Maelstro was against me, just like the note, an excuse to destroy me.
I have ten minutes before I go to school to turn in my main resource taken away, but guys, look at facts, NOT behavior and me roleplaying.
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Now that I think about it... CH is acting the same way shoyru did in the first murder game when he was an accomplace...
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Tsk tsk tsk...you clearly haven't studied up on your competitive battling, Joey. Besides, unless I'm highly mistaken, it's Hidden Power Electric that Vaporeon is in need of with its moveset. There are a few more errors with your possibilities here:

-Vaporeon DOESN'T learn Calm Mind. Surf is apparently the really used STAB move that Vaporeon has, but even then Vaporeon is used as a stall. It doesn't NEED Calm Mind, with a superb SPDF and SPAT. It needs Acid Armor to protect itself against the likes of Gyarados. Also, if you look at the flavor text of all Vaporeon as well as Acid Armor itself, you'd clearly see that it states 'melts away into water' or 'liquifies the user'. While I will give you the fact that it does contain 'acid', which is a corrosive elemental part of the name, I once again think that it's applied to 'HP Fire', the murder 'weapon' of choice.
-Every other Pokemon here can learn Ice Beam (it's a standard move for most water types to have); it is yourself that has more connection to the attack than us.
-Vaporeon's seen with HP Electric, not HP Fire. The reason provides coverage against other water beasts out there, ESP Gyarados. HP Fire is for Steel type coverage, and only then is it mainly used on Scizor. I dunno about you, but I'd much rather leave Scizor to a more capable Pokemon than the low Defense (barring spam Acid Armor; even then it's not that great) Vaporeon.
-Again, there are FACTS against you. You're trying to be hypocritical again by trying to say I act a certain way.
-You must not know me very well, Joey...may I link you to 73535 or generally any of my major posts in the Writer's Corner? I'm a renouned large writer. This behavior is anything but odd for me. Also, it is a well known fact that I've been waiting to play this game since the previous murder game. I love playing these sorts of games and I was reeling when you guys weren't looking at the solid fact 'XD G o D'. I personally see nothing wrong with trying to link CLUES to PEOPLE. Isn't that what you're supposed to do in this game?

Point being, your reasoning is incredibly faulty. May I bring up another theory, as well...?

The murderer is attempting to frame us all in order to make us fight and bicker amongst ourself like this. He could be very well driving us off the right track, framing us and counter-framing us so he gets a few free kills. They could be framing Joey to frame both him and myself in one go; I still believe avidly (and with the SOLID REASONABLE PROOF) that he may be the murderer, yet if I am wrong the chances are that there's another here, like shadoworganoid or mammaluigi, that could be the murderer. Also, we could be looking beyond the obvious to the fact that sillykyle has outright said 'I'm the murderer' first thing in the game. He could have done that to throw us all off.

Point being, Joey, I could gather facts and point them at any person here, but your case seems to be the strongest as of right now. It's not a matter of attacking you so much as attacking the person that has the most evidence stacked up against themselves. If you'd like, I could look into other people's evidence, yet I'm sure you're adamantly stuck on the fact that I'm the 'murderer'.

Don't forget to vote for the hints from people. Neither Mudkip or Luvdisc have been able to regain enough energy to appear in the real world yet.

^Do this unless you don't want a hint
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Because you are! Yes, I messed upon on Calm Mind, but Acid Armor, has an animation of burning away, raising stats! Need I remind you that you are acting like Shoryu, who was accomplise in Season 1, making you in bad light! The note was against me, and I will say again, before the note, you were against me, putting you in perfect position as the fit! Those of you who have voted for me, let me make four things clear now.
One: Has it occurred to you that Crystal, which by the way, if I was this murderer, I would have gotten rid of Day 1 due to mass defenses (Don't lie, half of you would too) may have been stringing you along?
Two: Despite this ramble, I am not angry. Need I say again, you guys are acting off behavior, not facts.
Three: To my knowledge I gained in Team Dimensional, HP Fire is always in Vapy's arsenal if used as an attacker, for pokemon like Scizor. Ice Beam for Dragons, Surf/Hydro Pump for Fire Types, and maybe something else in there, say Acid Armor?
Four: Has it occured to anyone that it seems that whoever Crystal wants to be lynched, but does not get the lynch, dies in the night?
I am leaving it at that for now. Please keep this in mind as you continue to vote for an innocent, something I can ensure is true.
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

OoC: are we allowed to withdraw our votes Ice or 42?

IN: It is getting very rough in here.
*lays down*
I belive that whoever the killer is has to be someone who knows how to play the game and not be suspicious at all.
Personaly, i want to vote for Crystal now.

wow joey... way to contradict yourself... kinda putting you in a bad light.
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Not a contridictiction. The entire time, I have voted off of facts. As far as I can see, as soon as Crystal votes, everyone else follows. It is like she is the ringleader here. And no, I am not acting like Shoryu. I am not getting to the point where I am going "I'm bored. This game is stupid. Ect..." Please, before you vote, look at my defense before making an accusation along with maybe using yourself, not Crystal. Most of it lines up perfectly, despite what Crystal's long rambles say. Honestly, you do not need that much. Just a simple one or two facts will do. The only reason why I am getting into the habit is because I am being accused of murdering people, who, by the way, I would never kill, under false pretenses. *Fades for now, hopefully*
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Ah! At last someone gets what I'm trying to say.

Also, Joey, lolno. Even Serebii can outright say 'HP Fire' is for most Psychic type Pokemon. Personally, I wouldn't want Vap to have HP Fire to take care of Scizor; I'd much rather leave that to a Pokemon with better defensive capabilities.

I do believe I stated many many facts against yourself, Joey. Hard, cold, facts. That is the way the game is to be played.

As mammaluigi has stated, the murder probably knows better than to draw better to themselves. Why would I put myself in such jeopardy by posting my theories so much? It's not like I'm saying 'they ARE the murderer' all the time. Also, I love how you keep referring to the first game when I really don't remember too much about Shoyru actually acting odd, other than being silent.

Man, this is more intense than a game of Phoenix Wright or something. Still, with so many clues all over the place, it's getting a little dull. Especially with all the active players dying all over the place...

Regardless, my case stands, Joey. Chances are either Shoyru or shadoworganoid will be killed tonight if we do not catch the true murderer. Maybe that one last hint will be enough to find out whodunit?
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Crystal, I have nothing more to say besides this. Attacking me, a person that I will ENSURE is innocent, and I usually tell the truth, (DO NOT BRING UP THE POST FROM OVER TWO WEEKS AGO), in this manner is a bit uncouth, no? No need for your long posts, they are not needed. No more proof can be brought against you, as we will likely bicker the same thing again and again. Like I said, others, think about what to do. Look at our defenses, see which one you like more or seems most logical, I do not care. All I know is that there are impulsions harassing this game, including the one on me right now. Remember, FACTS, not ideas.
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

May I just say this, then? This is the first time I have actually factually voted in this game. Also, if we're talking a few facts, I have them right here, courtesy copy/pasta. Notice how they are, in fact, solid clues.

-Water and Ice: Piplup is a penguin-like Pokemon; this immediately files him under the ice category.
-'the writing on the wall': conspired with Snorchu to make a false Unown hint.

RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Is it just me or is half of that off of impuse? About me being the closest tie to ice, you have an equal tie. While my pokemon lives in Antartica, yours is not only used with Ice Beam, but also it is based off of a mermaid, something that could live anywhere aquatic, even very cold climates. You may not realize it, but you are digging a larger hole by the second. It seems like the poems are well-written, so let me remind you all that Crystal here is a writer herself! (see enigmatic star)
 
RE: Murder III: Deep, Dark Cavern: Day 5 Ends 5/19

Night was drawing fast. Once again all of the Pokemon drew closer to another innocent...to Piplup. He shot glances around to his fellow Pokemon, and if they had been above the surface, he would have been obviously sweating.

Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Maelstra; she floated there stoically, waiting for something...his death confession. No expression came over her face. Yet in that ironic sense, the Piplup could nearly swear she was smirking at him.

In a last ditch attempt to call out his victim, he powered up Hidden Power; balls of electricity shot out from every angle. The other innocents could see the attack coming, yet in some sort of silent plea to Arceus himself, Hidden Power hit Maelstra.

The Vaporeon cringed in pain, crying out, before snapping her head to the side at the little penguin. "You little brat!" she uncharacteristically spat his way, bearing her sharp canine teeth. "How DARE you!"

"You're the real killer, I know it!" he hissed back. "The proof's all there..."

"...hahaha, you mean your shambly clues of instinct that were totally off track as it was...?"

She paused. All the others had turned to face her. Her eyes narrowed as they prepared to attack. Silently, she quickly melted away into the water.

"Oh, no-"

"Quick! Someone! After her!"

As though not being told to, Piplup swam away, following the liquid current Maelstra left up, up, up...to the stormy surface.

The Vaporeon emerged in the twilight storm, leaping upon a nearby rock. She panted heavily; changing her Hidden Power so many times didn't help her endurance, nor did it help she was hit rather badly with Piplup's attack.

Soon with Aqua Jet, the Piplup emerged and landed further down on the rock. "I have you now, murderer!" he exclaimed.

"Hahaha...or do you?" she arched her back as she spoke. As She let Toxic fly into the air, another Hidden Power was loosed. Both attacks landed on the Vaporeon.

Startled by the fact that the Vaporeon had covered herself with the foul-smelling sludge, Piplup backed up momentarily. "Wha...?!"

"Omnia ut fortiora crescant perurenda..." she mystically muttered as she switched over to her Hidden Power Fire for the last time. "Everything must burn away to become stronger...and I am just as evil as you all are. I must burn away as well..."

With that, she burst with light. Immediately her already weakened body soaked with the flammable liquid caught aflame. Not even Kyogre's Drizzle could have killed the fire. "...farewell, to all of your friends that ostracized...me...and to you, foolish...Piplup..."

No further words were said. An eerie silence was left as without a yell or a scream, she simply...keeled over. Finally, the other Pokemon surfaced nervously. The shiny Vaporeon was dead.



So, as you can see, the murderer was Crystal Hikara. I'll edit this post a bit later. (Joey wins)

This ending was written by the murderer
