FG: MAFIA 31: Nobel Laureates of Doom

[Tuberski]

I'm dead and I think it's you, rah, because I was wrong the other time.

ACK!

[Sparrowhawk]

I still have no idea, but I will vote for Adrian Hon because I don't know how to spell Vlad Antlerkov.

/me

[Adagio]

Adrian Hon for the same reason as in the post just above this one

[Adrian Hon]

Typical madness that I would come to expect from Apolytoners I for one believe the culprit is Rah for the reasons spelt out by Hercules.

[rah]

And that vote will get you mine. What a surprise.

Adrian Hon

Bye bye

[Adrian Hon]

D'oh. I can't keep track of these Poly names

[rah]

That's what you get for listening to DEAD people.

[Adrian Hon]

Curse these confounded Nobelist names!

[Adrian Hon]

In order to speed up the start of the next game, I'll fess up - it was me : Though I would like to attribute my relative success to sheer Mafioso skill, I think it had more to do with the fact that I'm a newbie Still, it was good while it lasted and it was a lot of fun to read through the increasingly crazed theories of who did it.

[Hercules]

Well well.

All we need now is what the clues were and what they meant.

[Jon Miller]

The physicists picked decided Gross was the killer. "I would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for you meddling physicists," he admitted.

After the physcists killed him by paper cuts the police burst into the room. "You are all under arrest," they said, "for the nobel phycisist murders."

Thus the case of the dead physicists was wrapped up.

Gell-Mann came up with the eight-fold way

which is where the lotus leaf (bhuddist) came from

(and actually his 'kill' wasn't killed, he was just kidnapped and put in a monastary in tibet)

Jon Miller

[Jon Miller]

Gross was a theorist, so he didn't kill anyone personally, just arranged to have others do the actual killing..

Jon Miller
(at least that is what I tried to do)

[Jon Miller]

Abrikosov had good reasons for every kill. He wrote a very important book for condensed matter theory, and some of the physicists at the conference would have made it no longer valid. He wanted to stop the information which would invalidate his ideas from being published.

If Kass had ordered a kill that didn't fit with this clue, I would have had to come up with something else, but I was lucky.

Also he killed everyone personally, and his kills were sort of ironic considering the victims experience. (lasers and liquid helium)

the fact that the liquid in one of the kills was unknown was a clue that it would radically upset the standard condensed matter theories

[Jon Miller]

Gross wanted to have the most nobel prizes ever.. I have went into Abrikosov's motivation. Gell-mann I didn't have the chance to fully develope motivation for.

And yes, there were three Mafia from the get go, I figured that there wa a good chance that one would be killed by a random vote early or by another mafia early and so I started with three (turned out good, tuberinski went down early).

Also I randomized the kill order...
