Based on the clues, if it does involve the viability of a civilization.

Good lord, am I on Twitter?

Discontent with culture

Here's another riddle from one of the worst riddle-solvers: Freud was Austrian. The only player of Austrian origin here is Nikola Tesla. The question is, why would Mentu give a clue about himself?

Arandor the maniac

Your face when you call Arandor a "man".

ps We've always had players who prefer to block for Mages instead of investigating, believing it gives them more information. (But these people aren't playing anymore, but they might have followers.)

My face when I'm trying to figure out who to eliminate.

Even when I signed up, I said that I wouldn't be playing seriously. I'm here to fulfill the player quota and have some fun, and the quota has already been met.

After carefully reviewing the newspaper and checking the wiki, I agree that the clue most likely points to hanging or something related to it (noose, strangulation). It's somewhat reminiscent of the clue from the previous Mafia game about being buried alive... I don't believe it's described so simply just for effect. Regarding the headline and the mention of intellectuals with their questions, I couldn't find any other explanation besides it being a reference to Balzac. Also, considering that there's nothing in the newspaper text that suggests Grande was killed, I still believe Balzac was the killer. I've been looking into the hanging clue, but so far, all the connections seem to lead to something like what Ment has. I'll keep digging. For now, I'm adding Neiru and Master to the list of suspects. While I was writing this, I had an idea to try searching through the Tarot cards – the Hanged Man, but I'm too tired now. I'll look into it tomorrow.

I analyzed the interpretation and came to the conclusion that it lacks a solid foundation. Through the very same link, I can transition from Chaka to William Wallace => who was hanged, drawn, and quartered, or from Cao Cao to Lü Bu, who was "strangled." While searching, I realized that some Articles linked are excessively lengthy, for example, the one about Napoleon (how annoying he was even in the previous game), while others, such as mine or Fragova's, are short and have few links. This seems unfair. I can consider this in two ways: either the long Articles are intentionally made this way to make it easier to create clues, or very unrealistic chains need to be assigned to the short Articles to encrypt the clue. Remembering the previous game, in which, in my opinion, nothing was solved at all, I view the single-link options with great skepticism. I tried to go in reverse – loops (yes, yes, I saw in the rules where the clue comes from, but as part of the detective method), and the closest I got was: Chaka => South Africa (on the right in the table, or through "South Africa") => apartheid => segregation => the same in the USA => lynching. Right now, I don't feel like going through the previous game and looking at what chains were there, and Master is my teammate, so I won't spoil it for him. At the very least, I wouldn't vote for such an interpretation without other arguments, but conceptually, the idea is there, and I could accept it. You can also search for countries that used hanging (Japan, China, Rus', regions of Europe), but I didn't have enough time and energy for that; I glanced through it quickly and didn't find anything significant. Or maybe you really should go with the intellectuals, but I didn't even try to explore that. I'm still inclined to think that this is not a clue, but some kind of hint, although I won't bet on it. Regarding the thesis mentioned a couple of times, "Rani got involved in a noose because of unrequited love" – doesn't it seem to you that you are mixing up both a hint about the killer and the role of the victim? It doesn't work that way. Even if we assume that this is a simultaneous hint about two things, then in this way we must completely exclude "strangled by a noose" or "intellectuals messed up." It turns out that either a deliberately false piece of lore was added to complicate the task, which is not impossible to imagine, but goes against the usual format of presenting murders, or the piece was added for a reason, and it is wrong to ignore it.

I wrote to Revan in a private message, saying pretty much the same thing. I've basically forgotten how to play, especially when you know you don't know anything, and the level of information provided by the newspaper leaves much to be desired.

I also think it makes sense to return to a greater "visibility" of the Clan Wars in newspapers, but this, of course, assumes that we will continue to gather.

Medj, so what was that Heroist ultimately? With the other NDs, it's clear...

What does 0 reaction mean? Everything was discussed normally... I voiced my position regarding the events in the newspaper; there aren't many, so there aren't many possible interpretations. Only the evidence remains to be discussed, but it's difficult and time-consuming to find, and I've exhausted my limit.

I analyzed the interpretation and came to the conclusion that it lacks a solid foundation.
Through exactly the same link, I can go from Chaki to William Wallace => was killed by hanging-gutting-quartered, or from Cao Cao to Lü Bu, who was "strangled."

Hmm, okay, I accept that.

Regarding the thesis mentioned a couple of times, "Rani got involved due to unrequited love" - doesn't it seem to you that you are mixing up both a hint about the killer and the role of the victim?

I checked the descriptions in the previous Revan mafia game. And I came to the conclusion that anything is possible.

I also think that it makes sense to return to a greater "visibility" of non-direct clues in the newspapers, but this, of course, assumes that we will continue to gather.

It's worth considering. It seems that it was introduced due to the small number of players, when all the mafia members were identified already on the second day, simply based on the non-direct clues in the newspaper.

Ah... There were times when all the non-disclosure agreements were displayed, including the verification checks...

Here's another bad riddle from one of the worst guessers: Freud was Austrian. The only player of Austrian origin here is Nikola Tesla. The question is, why would Mento give a hint about himself?

Too much of a stretch. But the Loki options are pretty good, he managed to get out of it, poor guy 😞

This is something to consider. It seems it was introduced because of the small number of players, when all the Mafia members were identified on the second day, simply by looking at the newspaper.

It really was a wonderful time.
