That's like taller than me in rl, thats one huge kid. As for weight, I have trouble converting it into stones, but it would have to be someone with a decent weight about them to carry another into the air lock thing. It would also require strength or sheer size/weight to hold down someone thrashing under a pillow.

He's tall, but skinny... 125 pounds for someone who's 5'6 is quite underweight.

Regarding the method of the kill: I imagine it's not extremely hard to keep a pillow on someone's face if you're on top, all you need to do is keep your weight on them. They would have to essentially benchpress an entire person in order for them to get it off...

contrary to this, I (Splaz) do _not_ have any more ability to open an airlock than any other person! Since when would you need a lock-pick to open an airlock ?

Also, Splaz is _not_ stealthy!!!! The reason he loved immitating that statue and being still, was because he is so damn clumsy/noisy and terrible at stealth, hence his repeated re-capture by the orphange. Sure he can stand _very very_ still indeed, but as soon as he moves his podgey body he is like a bull in a china shop! The fact that he is grossly overweight for a child, would make it incredibly difficult for him to hide in places, as you suggest.

Im affraid, Ezekial, that it is only you who has the combination of Mathematics, Pattern-Recognition, large size and strength, unwillingness to talk much, Very-strong bible-shepherd links, Very-strong poetry & Haiku, PLUS a Bio that ends with a caption that almost reads exactly like the title of the Serial-Kill text!!!!

That's a combination of 7-things (hopefully I didn't miss any out) that fit you like a glove!!

just to reiterate:

your bio :

"Numbers speak volumes
Equations tell countless taies
We just need to hear
"

the title of the kill :

"Statistically speaking"

I never said you lock-picked the door.. only that a master of escape would have ways of figuring out ways of escaping, and that includes opening doors that may not be locked in conventional ways. Didn't you used to escpae from "high security" broom cupboards?


Also, Splaz is _not_ stealthy!!!! The reason he loved immitating that statue and being still, was because he is so damn so damn clumsy/noisy and terrible at stealth HENCE his repeated re-capture by the orphange.

So you say... but i don't see that in your bio! I could claim that Ezekial is actually a mute, which is why he's quiet, and so couldn't possibly be the SK, but I would be making things up after the fact...

ummm... i am 5'6" and weigh 123-128 lbs (depends on the time of the month... damn water retention...) - and i am not considered underweight, even by my doctor - in fact, height-weight wise i'm right where i should be for my build. just a thought!
MashPotato 18 years ago
Underweight for a guy, I meant :). I may have overestimated average weights, though, I admit...

EDIT: I apologize too, I didn't mean to insult anyone... I was just trying to convey that while Ezekial is the heaviest relative to the others, he doesn't necessarily have much muscle :)

edited away because I foollishly responded to something that I had completely miss-read ;) (please ignore/delete)

It's nice to see the old-gang (Eduardo and Ezekial) still sticking together with their voting practices. Utterly flying in the face things that seem apparent to everybody else.

This may not seem to strange in itself, however quoting from Eduardo at the time of voting...


Eduardo;86943
I've got very little to go on from that last S.K. kill, except that it doesn't contradict anything that I believed last round. So for the same reasons (and stealthyness did come up again this kill), I'll be voting for...

Splazmonnotroid as the S.K.





1.) I don't see where "stealthyness" came up in the kill. Even if you make the stretch that standing still is the same as sneaking about, when in fact it is quite the opposite. But where was the stealth anyway ??

2.) He states that he see's nothing to go by from this S.K kill! And yet many people noted and presented a wealth of evidence that points to Ezekial! How strange that everybody noticed many clues that point to his (potential) partner in crime, and he saw none of them.

It is my opinion, that what we have here is the exact situation that Eduardo depected in his accussations towards Emilio IE an SK & Mafia combo!

No Canadians say "ho" as a greeting!

!! If you address someone as "ho" here, it would be... impolite *ahem*.

*Sigh*...ho is a term meaning hello in battle school, all the kids use it, no matter where they come form.

A "gang" that makes no sense! If Eduardo and Ezekial were working together, it would be incredibly silly to both vote for Splaz the first time around when it was already decided by the majority that Domo was going to be lynched...

Heehee, tbh, that one was meant as a joke ;). I wasn't aware of the "ho" greeting at Battle School, though, I read the book years ago and am hazy on details.

I am surprised that Spaz did not pick up on this poetry reference from this hit.

He did not go gently, but, like all the others, in the end he went




Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

~ Dylan Thomas

Why thank you the fitting quote, Rae, and I will not go quietly into that good night ;), despite the lack of impact my words seem to have... In my case, however, dark is NOT right--you will find out that I was indeed telling the truth...

The bloodthirsty steps,
The ferocious murmurings--
I hear them coming.

I have done no wrong--
But people, unlike numbers,
Possess no feeling.

My consolation:
I was always true to me,
To my upbringing.

Me and Michael and
Teresa and Pinual,
SK victims, all*.





*by association ;). I'm not the SK, but I'm going to be lynched for it....


EDIT: haha, so it is, MEC! fixed :). Ezekial writes bad haikus, remember? ;)
MEC 18 years ago
Ha! the third one is messed up.

Two clues repeated 7 times does not make 14 clues. I don't think this lynch scene makes him look guilty. But since I'm the next tallest, I guess I better get my affairs in order.

He states that he see's nothing to go by from this S.K kill! And yet many people noted and presented a wealth of evidence that points to Ezekial!


At the time I voted, nobody had raised any of these clues against Ezekial. In fact, I was the second person to vote and nobody at that point had voted for Ezekial.

The only strong evidence against Ezekial at that time was the Shepherd reference from the bible. And while, yes I agree this is a pretty strong clue, what about the haiku clue pointing to him being mafia?

Ezekial can't be S.K. and mafia, and as far as a clue goes, the haiku clue is bloody clever - sneaking a haiku into a line of dialogue strikes me as exactly the sort of thing mods who take pleasure in writing would do. So to me, there's more of a case towards Ezekial being mafia. But with strong clues either way, it's possible he's neither.

So what do I do? I stick to my beliefs from last round none of which was contradicted in the last S.K. kill. I'm pretty sure that either Ezekial or myself is gonna get lynched anyway so really my vote didn't matter for much.

Anyway, we'll know if Ezekial is the S.K later on... :D
