Prisoners, here is your third challenge. You must correctly identify the author of at least ten of fifteen quotes taken from the main game thread.

However, you will not receive more than one final guess for all quotes. You have 48 hours to decide how to allocate each player to each quote, and when the time is up, you then will be judged. Each quote is spoken by one unique player. Talk among yourselves. Use your time wisely.

Here are the quotes, followed by the bank of 15 players:

1)

Waffle House.

2)

As an example, fat chance me ever getting a socky nomination for funniest poster, even though I will try and do lots of funnies a game. I do the game side far too seriously.

3)

ika-WTF are you doing?

4)

Yes sig. I asked to work tonight so that I could miss the deadline and have an excuse for voting you out of a mafia game.

5)

All the excuses in the world wouldn't stop me from sounding like an idiot

6)

Also, NEWS FLASH I am a gigantic nerd who hordes internet smileys!!!

7)

Everyone, am I a handsome sock or a beautiful Daisy?

8)

ok im back from my poo. should I say how it was?

9)

I will cherish your final moments sweet prince

10)

finally someone asks! Holy cowlicks! I think Scotty has big feet, if you know what I mean.

11)

The next time you level up, put a few more points in sarcasm detection.

12)

Sloonei is one of those players I'm praying to the mafia god he is good, otherwise we are royally fucked.

13)

I'm an adult, and I'll vote who I damn well please.

14)

I have no idea, llama llama ding dong.

15)

Wow this is getting kinda extreme first you want me to be your slave know Golden is in your ass?

if #8 isn't by Wilgy, I am going to die.

Well, we can tell a few that AREN'T by certain people, since those people show up mentioned in the quotes, but otherwise...

...sheesh...

#15 surely sig, he typos "know" by default

Players who have used the following expressions on the site before:

"Waffle House" - Mongoose (not in Player Bank), Epignosis

"Sweet prince" - Scotty, Dharma

"royally fucked / fucked up royally" - MacDougall (dammit, no match here) - anyway, potential Sloonei RYM colleague?

"ding dong" - Dharma, Wilgy

I got nothing else.

This is so rigged, I don't even know agleamingranks, ika, indiglo, Quin or Silverwolf from playing mafia. That's already 5 out of 15, which is exactly the maximum we can afford to guess wrong.

I'm not certain about any of these so don't take them as gospel. I do think these names seem to fit the quotes though.

I checked their full post histories on the site to get an idea of how they type. Here are my notes:

ika - lowercase at times, memespeak, typo-proned

indiglo - capitalization and punctuation-conscious

agleaminranks - somewhat similar diction to Epignosis

Silverwolf - very limited visible content. Exclamation marks!!

Warden wrote:8)

This usage of language and sentence style is suitable to ika. Does anyone know if he/she is the type to talk about poop?

Warden wrote:11)

13)

I think these are the two most likely to be Epignosis and agleaminranks. Which is which I couldn't say for sure -- Epignosis is definitely adult in age and would say that. agleaminranks does not have an age on his/her profile page, I don't know how old they are.

13 is 100% Epignosis. (NOT A REAL GUESS JUST SAYING IN TERMS OF SPECULATION FOR OUR FINAL GUESSES DONT DICK ME OVER WARDEN)

Not trying to spam the thread y'all, just working through it here and seeing what I come up with.

Please review every entry for yourselves, I could easily be wrong on many of them.

Prisoner 509378 wrote:agleaminranks does not have an age on his/her profile page, I don't know how old they are.

he. mid-20s

I gave #12 to Quin because he knows Sloonei better than he knows any other member of this site. He's most likely to talk about Sloonei in general.

Of the names in the Bank, I can't see TH having posted #3, because it seems he usually writes wtf with small letters. Just a guess, though.

Doesn't MM use the "if you know what I mean" joke frequently?

Prisoner 277058 wrote:Doesn't MM use the "if you know what I mean" joke frequently?

Could be him or agleamingranks, but it's a wild guess, really.

I'd also park the use of on MM or TH, but again, not the most obvious detail I can lock on to.

lol sig just blurbed about dying soon in the main game.

THEY EXPECT NOTHING

Anyway, I have work to do for the next couple of hours and we need to be THIRTEEN people working on this here. Chop chop homies or get chopped.

Honestly my biggest strength is either posting or decoding, I'm not confident in my ability to contribute to this task effectively. I will try though.

Prisoner 740359 wrote:I'd also park the use of on MM

This was my thought too.

I think "llama llama ding dong" fits the Turnip Head style.

Prisoner 277058 wrote:Honestly my biggest strength is either posting or decoding, I'm not confident in my ability to contribute to this task effectively. I will try though.

Your best effort is all we can ask. You might have special familiarity with some of these names and that'd lend useful intuition. I'll take whatever help you can offer.

A forum search of "funnies" tells me MM is the only one playing who used that word.

Might be worth context on the "Waffle House" comment, is that an in-joke?

I don't think it would him to be the player who always takes the game too seriously. I mean, com'on. Lol

He even won the Award for Spamming a year ago.

it would fit*

Shit. Okay, I don't know many of these a-holes well enough to even wager a guess here. However, my limited interaction with Epignosis certainly leads me to agree with those speculating that he is #13. I will look through some post histories to see if there are any "flavor clues" and report back. We've got a few new prisoners in the mix now. Remember Operation IVY!

I don't know a lot of these people either which makes me uneasy about this challenge. I agree though that Epi and #13 seem to go together. I have to take a long look now ans see if I think the others fit.

I've played two games straight with MM and haven't heard him mention Waffle House but it doesn't mean it's not some inside joke from earlier.

Hey there, prisoners! Sweating yet?

Now that we've given you a couple of hours to panic, we are glad to inform you that this challenge actually is... WHO WANTS TO BE A PAROLEE?!?!

Well, not really.

But you do get three lifelines! As follows:
Let me know when you'd like to use them by bolding and underlining something to the effect of "USE 50:50 LIFELINE", and I'll take care of it.

Each lifeline has only one use. So once you use it, it will be gone. If one of you elects to use a lifeline, I will assume that as an election for the whole group.

Good luck!

I concur that #10 is Wilgy.

Regarding these lifelines:

Let's please not be frivolous and keep a mind on teamwork here. I mean we should discuss them before someone just elects to use one. However, given the time limit we need to come to a consensus quickly.

For me, the one that seems like it could be almost anyone is #6. That's where I'd favor using the 50/50, which strikes me as the best lifeline available. This is not an official request.

I think number 15 is certainly sig since he uses know for now all the time.

I agree with what you say on teamwork #509. I haven't looked at the quotes in terms of lifelines but I looked at #6 and wouldn't be against the 50:50 on that one. Let me make it clear I am not requesting a lifeline right now.

Actually wait, it just occurs to me... #6 is probably the best candidate to be Silverwolf. She is a fan of exclamation marks clearly. That post also has an "introduce myself" type appeal, which makes sense for someone who is new like her.

I rescind my recommendation to use a lifeline on that one unless someone thinks I'm wrong.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SUBMISSION, WARDEN. THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SUBMISSION, WARDEN.

I filled in the blanks with a little process of elimination. The two I hadn't placed were Scotty and indiglo. I gave "WTF" to indiglo because he has shown more of a penchant for using that term, and for cursing in general, than Scotty has.

I am pretty sure there are incorrect answers here. I think the hardest part of this is determining which ones to switch and which intuitions to trust. I would hate to have one right and then change it.

For whatever reason #14 does not sound like TH to me. Maybe it sounds too silly for him. Don't take my word for it though - lots of people know TH and might think that's the perfect quote for him. I hesitate to even voice this because I'm unsure.

FYI I wont be in the game thread tomorrow morning until 12:30 - 1:00pm edt. I have a doctors appointment.

Hello. Fresh fish here. I'll see what I can do to help this challenge.

Oh boy. I don't think I am very good at this.

2)

As an example, fat chance me ever getting a socky nomination for funniest poster, even though I will try and do lots of funnies a game. I do the game side far too seriously.

This one was Golden. He was talking to ika about the Funniest Poster Award, and ika said that he would get it for sure. This was Golden's response.

4)

Yes sig. I asked to work tonight so that I could miss the deadline and have an excuse for voting you out of a mafia game.

I think this was Silverwolf.

6)

Also, NEWS FLASH I am a gigantic nerd who hordes internet smileys!!!

This one is indiglo, I want to bookmark her stash for future use!

7)

Everyone, am I a handsome sock or a beautiful Daisy?

This one is DrWilgy for sure, I remember it. I think Metalmarsh responded with "Can't you be a beautiful sock or a handsome Daisy?"

8)

ok im back from my poo. should I say how it was?

This one is absolutely ika, you have it right.

10)

finally someone asks! Holy cowlicks! I think Scotty has big feet, if you know what I mean.

This is Scotty - someone asked Scotty what he thought of Scotty, and this was his response!

11)

The next time you level up, put a few more points in sarcasm detection.

This one is Epignosis.

15)

Wow this is getting kinda extreme first you want me to be your slave know Golden is in your ass?

Definitely sig based on the "know". He always does that.

Awesome, 888206. It hadn't occurred to me that a new inmate would have actually seen the thread nearly in full.

Keep chugging away folks, I am going to be offline for much of the day. I believe in us!

Excellent work my newly-incarcerated colleague. If your suspicions are correct then this would only require us to get four more correct to put Operation IVY into action. Is anyone open to the idea of using 888206's suggestions as a "final answer" to see if we can put ourselves on the right track and narrow down our choices for the other quotes?

Ho wait, we got a new homie straight from the game.

Homie88, if you're right about this, all my respekt and packs of cigarettes.

WARDEN YOU DUN GOOFD

HA HAA CHARADE YOU ARE

We only get one final answer so please don't submit anything officially to the warden yet. I'm content to work with these new adds though. The lifelines should go to other quotes.

This is a perfectly manageable challenge.

Hey guys, had a busy day yesterday, sorry I wasn't around to help start this off.

I'll have a look later but I think our new prisoner will be very helpful on this one!

Prisoner 888 also had #8 & #15 in their previous post so I'm not sure why they aren't yellow in this post of theirs as well. It's pretty well agreed that 15 is sig too so, I'd be ok with submitting 4,6,7,8,10,11 and 15 if others agree. Then we could cross off those players and quotes if they're correct.
