The SDMB Serial Killer

Hmm, could it be that you only kill those whose names start and/or end with a vowel?

What a horrible, horrible killer…

AtomickTom & Sefton both bite the dust. The former for an incorrect guess and the latter for both an incorrect guess and breaking the rule. chowder, having safely posted without breaking the rule is hereby deputised as ‘Assistant Serial Killer’, given a set of steak knives and told to go nuts. However, he is remined that there can only be one killer in this thread, and that’s me, bub.

Also, the serial killer has to go out for a while to buy a knife sharpening whetstone, 30ft of rope, get a few more skull tattoo’s, have an old friend for dinner, and, mass murder being thirsty work, go out for a beer with a few mates. He will be back a bit later.

OK you heard the man, I’m now officially Assistant Serial Killer.

You guys had better stay in my good books or it’s a recommendation to my master that he slashes, cuts, gouges, eviscerates and generally plays havoc with your soft dangly bits using his very sharp knives.

Oh the power, the power, I feel quite giddy with it

Ok…I think I’ve got enough data points now. The derranged killer in our midst only kills those whose…

…first and last letters in their name are not in alpabetical order. Boo-yah.

Which would make me safe, btw.

And me, too!

Well, yeah, assuming Hal’s got it right. I’d certainly recommmend staying safely out of the thread until we’re sure.

Oops.

Ha! I laugh in the face of danger. And I have faith in ol’ Hal here. He’d never steer us wrong! Right?

I will take my chance to stroll in and say, “Howdy” to the serial killer among us.

My post follows the rule.

I believe the killer works on the wicked modus operandi of only eliminating members who does not have the (aproximately - a margin of +/- 1) same amount of consonants and vowels in their usernames.

Sage Rat, for instance, has three vowels and four consonants whileHockey Monkey has six of each.

(I’m fucked either way =/)

What about me?

And me?

As long as I’m right, then yeah, you’re both safe – I don’t know how Kaplin would interpret it, but if I was right then his killing spree is over.

If I’m wrong, of course, well then you may be good and well fucked.

Speaking of, DB, I’m also looking over my wife’s shoulder at her computer at the moment…TTC! TTC! TTC! :smiley:

I am immortal.

Yeah, well you stab gods. I think a simple serial killer wouldn’t freak you out.

Not only that, but I made Athena forget about that namby-pamby Odysseus for a while, too.

Hal Briston has it! The rule was simply this: If the last letter in a poster’s username came earlier in the alphabet than the first letter of a poster’s username, that poster was a goner. It never came up but posters whose usernames began and ended with the same letter would have been safe. Citizens of Doperville, unlock your doors and unload your shotguns. The killer has been caught! May he never darken our digital doors again!
Until next time…

:eek:

What about a poster like j666? Would he have bit the big one if Hal had not supplied sanctuary?

EDIT: Or me, for that matter. :smack:

Ha! Justice is served, evildoer!
