Looking back on things, its interesting that MM was the guy who got doused first, and you had the spreading lighter fluid mechanic. We sent MM to do every kill, so the lighter fluid spread to 5 people right before they promptly died.

Cheating at a raffle? I sentence you to 1 year in jail! No! Two years! Three! Four! Five years! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Somebody call for an ant?

As a guy that thoroughly enjoyed reading that game I gotta say.
I am really surprised ganny's word kept being taken as valuable while he got townie after townie lynched.
Even the people that thought ganny town should have at least called him an idiot that keeps getting townies lynched at some point.

So was pretty much everyone.
The idea of bulletproof miller is interesting. A lot of people brought up how miller should just claim day 1 to save the cop trouble. Ganny's perfect defense to this was that he wanted to hide being bulletproof from town and it makes a ton of sense.

It did work out nicely for mafia, as it turns out. If Tendai hadn't been bulletproof, ganny would probably have been lynched on day 2. I personally didn't know that mafia role cop was a thing until later in the game (since this is my first time playing), so it wasn't until farther down the road that I realized there was a very good explanation for why ganny knew that Tendai was bulletproof. I was absolutely convinced he was full of poo poo until he pulled out tendai's role.

i dont fully agree with the actions taken to kill Tony Gambino who owns the pasta shop but his brother runs the show over there. All he did was sell cars over at Carmine's mostly used car lot and he got paid very well to detail the hearse from Faducci's Funeral Parlor on the days he needs it for the circus. His widow and kids all died in a carbon monoxide leak while he was out of town last week on business but his mistress is doing really, really, well now. He is now barely concerned that more mysterious carbon monoxide leaks may happen because he was Amish and we don't believe in using batteries or a CO detector.

:siren: Sword of Gannthritor: Penultimate Update!:siren:

Nobody has claimed any prizes yet! The game will end in 12 hours because that poo poo is probably gonna get unhosted real soon! Act now for a forums upgrade!

Final clue:

You should end up with 8 passwords before the final level, 5 of which are fake! Don't use those ones!

you're a bit behind... but you still have 2.5 hours left to solve it!

Also I just went back through the spreads and rechecked everything. I am confident that the solution makes sense! Also, some idiot added a password on page 5, "crocodile", which I did not add. Ignore that!

Well, I still only have 7 out of 8 passwords, I don't know what I am missing or if it matters.

EDIT: Oh, found the last one. I have no idea what it means or ho it relates to anything.
EDIT2: Figured out what it means, still no idea how it helps.

:siren: Sword of Gannthritor, FINAL UPDATE :siren:

Nobody has won the game! The evil lord has prevailed and all hope is lost! (OR IS IT!??!?!)

Here is the solution..



Fake passwords:
Swordfish (day 1 D1000)
Gannymede (day 2 D263)
Condor (day 2 D1000)
-----Tip------ The man posting in the column is not who he seems! (D398)
-----Tip------ Day 1,2 passwords are fake! (D652)
Komodo (day 3 D1000) given by evil lord
Albatross (day 4 D1000) given by evil lord
Ultra Fake password:
Crocodile (day 5 A531), graffitii'd on page by some jackass (not me)

Hidden passwords:
Roomba (day 3 n524 > n379 > B524)

Real Passwords:
Safety Dance (day 3 z830, given by real gannyGrabber)
Aceship (Day 4 D561, skip 7 cypher (hint on D744 from princess))

Tips:
Remember the Konami Code! (UUDDLRLRBA)(day 3 n525)
Think backwards! (day 5, given by real gannyGrabber)

Door to final level: (Day 5 Z999)



------------

Solution to the final level

Each password matches a key on the controller...

"Up" is Swordfish (Fish)
"Left" is Komodo (Lizard)
"Right" is Condor (stubby bird)
"Down" is Safety Dance (by Men without Hats)
"Select" is Roomba (wheeled disc)
"Start" is Albatross (Long winged bird)
"B" is Aceship (Spade blasting off)
"A" is Gannymede (Moon, Ganymede is a moon of Jupiter)

Inputting the Konami code while not reusing symbols, starting at the pointer and reading left to right like a normal human being, would give you
BVSSCD"blank"YAX

However, if you remove the letters that correspond to fake passwords from that string, instead you get
SSA

You then follow the ganny hint from day 5 to reverse that, and get "rear end" as your final password. Hee hee!

------------

I was going to incorporate an arcade style name entry screen as an extra hint (who's ever been to an arcade without a top score being from rear end?) But the mafia game ended and the doc got locked.

Anyways eSporks at one point PM'd me the password as "LASS" which is close enough for me! You have found the Spork of Gumblinnor and will receive a prize shortly!

Well a ton of words are possible, towards the end I was using anagram solvers to brute force it. I think the part that really threw me was all the symbols having more than one letter. I think your start arrow was actually a hindrance here. Instead of just reading left tor right, I thought I was supposed to do some weird column shifting or something.

There was some weird logic I don't understand either, like roomba apparently being a real password but also a symbol you somehow have to know you aren't supposed to use. I'm not sure why the roomba looks like a skateboard either. I figured out that aceship and no hate were the real passwords because they were the only ones you said were real. This led me to thinking the phrase was "sans" which points to the komodo as the answer because its the only one sans a letter.

And in hindsight "-----Tip------ The man posting in the column is not who he seems! (D398)
-----Tip------ Day 1,2 passwords are fake! (D652)" makes sense, but I was thinking it only applied to that one tab not the whole sheet.

In the end there were a poo poo ton of red herrings, and I had no real idea what direction I was supposed to go in to figure out what mattered and what didn't. I guess it was just like a game of mafia!
