Ok guys and gals, first of all thanks for an absolutely great game. I feel this one was one of the best and everyone tried to get into character. This makes the game more enjoyable for me. Congrats to Crystal for solving it and your pin will be mailed as of Monday. Now that it is over I would like to take an honest survey of how many people were close. So please post a comment reflecting your feelings here. I study these to make the next game better. One thing you should know is that in the middle of this game it become clear with so many deaths that a third part to this story would be difficult. That's why Kiara was returned and this one finished with a case solved stamp on it. Next game will be in Tokyo Disney SEA and start a new series.
Now for the burning question for some of you---How did the clues relate---below is MY thoughts on as much as I can remember and how you could have reached the Genie.
1) KILLER IS A SERVANT OF JADIS---
The servant part of this clue was most important as Genies are basically servants
2) FEATHER--covered with blood...no matter how much they clean it, it still looks red--DNA unknown at this time - not from any sample provided to the lab...size undetermined---
The facty that the feather was always red no matter how much they cleaned it pointed to it coming from Iago. Thus it would have been considered a clue of transference from someone Genie had been in contact with. The fact that Iago was doing detective work when the sample feathers were collected meant that his feather was not in the samples to compare.
3) BLACK HAIR--DNA shows it comes from a male---non asian but doesn't match DNA of fur or white hair---species not determined as of yet--
This is a clue directly from Genie...later in the game had it continued, a fact that no DNA as if it had disappeared was detectable would have been revealed...leading to a possible conclusion that the species was not real,but just myth
4) WHITE HAIR--BROWN FUR---DNA male--Do not match Black hair--species not determined as of yet - shows DNA from two different species--
Ok I know this one confused alot of people and I meant for it to do exactly that. Can't make these things too easy afterall. Both these are clues of transference from Abu. The brown fur is self explained, but the white hair comes from when Genie turned Abu into a white horse briefly. The fact that it had horse DNA was actually the next info that Scar would have revealed from the lab. also I hinted at the possibility that the fur was Abus at the HM scene when I said to Abu that he was shedding and getting Fur all over the crime scene.
5) BLUE CLOTH--what kind of cloth yet to be determined---
This is directly tied to Genie from his pants
6) GLINT OF LIGHT OFF SHINY SURFACE--probable metal, but not confirmed--
another dierect tie to Genie..could have been from his bracelets or earring
7) Gold Thread --
Clue of transference from carpet's tassles
8) Character not know prior to 1974
9) Small piece of red material - what type of material?---
Direct to Genie as his waist sash is red
10)Lemon and cinnamon and honey--
direct to Genie as these are the main ingredients for baklova, which Genie makes when Aladdin first meets him in the cave
11)LARGE DARK/GRAYISH COLORED FEATHER - But it seems that this feather has two kinds of DNA. One of them matches the brown fur found earlier, but the feathers DNA doesnt match the white hair which also has the same Dna pattern as the fur. I have never seen anything like this."---
same situation as the white hair...the feather was an ostrich feather from when Abu was changed into an ostrich....this would have been a lab given clue later
12)The tourist that "Smokes"--
In the movie Genie asks Aladdin "Mind if I smoke? in one of the songs...also later in the movie Genie appears in a tropical shirt with a Goofy hat
NOTE 1:
KIARA IS GONE AND THAT WAY SHE WILL STAY
UNTIL THE QUEEN IS FREE FROM HER PRISON OF ROCK HARD CLAY
I AM HER SERVANT BUT WHO AM I?
FIND OUT NEXT TIME YOU WILL ALL DIE---
Again the word servant was the subtle hint here
NOTE 2:
YOU WANT HER BACK THEN DO AS I SAY
THIS IS THE PRICE YOU HAVE TO PAY
BRING JADIS BACK, GIVE ME HER STONE
I HATE BEING ALL ALONE---
Alone is the key word here as Genie spent so much time alone...a 1000 years in a cave of wonders
STUPID MONKEY...NOTHING MORE TO SEE...NO CLUE...STUPID APE---
nothing important here
NOTE 3:
I WILL ASK JUST ONE MORE TIME
I TRULY HATE TO COMMIT THESE CRIMES
BRING ME JADIS AND IT ALL WILL BE DONE
KILLING FOR ME IS JUST NO FUN --
Dislike for killing points to a non villain character
NOTE 4: I'M NOT USUALLY CONSIDERED TO BE SO BAD
IN FACT IT ALL MAKES ME SAD
IT SEEMS MY METHODS ARE OUTDATED
BUT WITH JADIS It COULD BE RELATED---
OUtdated points to an old character(how old is Genie anyway?) Last sentence --BUT WITH JADIS It COULD BE RELATED...That small t is not a typo...and this points to the fact that Genie possibly could be related to Jadis...they are both Genies afterall
ANOTHER PRINCESS SOON TO DIE
BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THE REASON WHY
BRING ME THE STATUE OF THE SNOWQUEEN
OR ONCE AGAIN I'LL TURN MEAN---
not much revealed here...a possibilty of change
NOTE 5:
HERE LIES TIANA SUCH A BITTER END
BECAUSE A PRINCESS TOOK MY FRIEND---
Jasmine took Aladdin from Genie in a sense and he held a grudge. The first victim Jasmine and the place of death were chosend to tie the character in to the murder.
SO YOU FOUND MY BARGAINING CHIP
NO BIG DEAL, NOW HERE'S A TIP
BRING ME THE THING I WANT THE MOST
OR ALL OF YOU WILL BECOME A GHOST
I HAVE THE POWER TO DESTOY THIS PARK
PIECE BY PIECE TIL IT'S ALL DARK ----
Power is the key word here
ANNOUNCEMENT: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN WE APOLOGIZE, BUT AT THIS TIME ALL GUESTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO EXIT THE PARK. THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE YOUR WAY OVER TO ONE OF THE OTHER PARKS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. ANYONE SHOWING YOUR PASS FROM THE MAGIC KINGDOM WILL BE GIVEN FREE ENTRANCE. ALSO COMPLIMENTARY DINNER FOR ANYONE INCONVENIENCED BY THE NEED TO EVACUATE THE MAGIC KINGDOM. AT THIS TIME FOLLOW THE CAST MEMBERS INSTRUCTIONS AND PROCEED QUICKLY AND SAFLEY TO THE TRANSPORTATION STATIONS. THANK YOU AND AGAIN WE APOLOGIZE.
---no real clue here--just an announcement
Items found may or may not belong to the killer. It could have come from something or someone the killer associates with.
TRIVIA:
1. Magic Carpet Ride called Jasmine's Flying Carpets (The killer is male)
2. Looping coaster at Disney Sea called Raging Seas opened in July 2005 (Clue was killer is non-Asian)
3. Backstory to the Raging Seas refers to the ancient gods/spirits having been angered. The statues has been uncovered by an excavation group and removed from the sight. Who removed the statues and angered the spirits. Answer is Harrison Hightower. (Research this) (Killer not known prior to 1974)
4. WHO WAS THE "ORIGINAL" SPONSOR OF IT'S A SMALL WORLD(not the Tokyo version) and WHO IS THE CURRENT SPONSOR OF IASW IN TOKYO DISNEYLAND? old unicef and pepsi-co new Sogo (killer wears or has large/dark grayish colored feather)
the killer is not necesarily the one with white hair and fur. Clues provided thru the trivia relate directly to the killer and the clues found at the scene lead to those around the killer
Note left by Scar as a clue - inside from the killer - outside Scar
GONE ON A NIGHT HUNT----Scar 1-11-9-26
on the inside you see--- 10-2-21 ---
This note is actually from Scar not Genie and just led to Big Thunder Mountain- on the front were SCAR 1-11-9-26--this indicated that S should be the first letter of the alphabet C the 11th and so on thus leading to BTM inside the note---most of you figured this out I think.
Good and bad are so subjective, but the killer doesn't consider himself bad. So we have a self-considered good person doing bad things for a reason that we're meant to already know? In additon to having something against princesses, this fellow is becoming a royal pain in the .
There were not many hidden clues but a few...one of Louies songs mentions Agrabah for example.
CLUES that were upcoming included and earring, rubber ducky, treasure, Jack Nicholson cameo appearance and the list goes on and on--each one would have gotten you a little closer to Genie.
Like I said this one is in the books and a new one will happen in thefuture, but as always I need a break. Next game I will offer a new option in the rules. In the meantime I MAY open a thread with a how to play type guide for people to read and understand better.
Finally I am not a very smart person and have NO training in CSI type work. Things are as accurate as I can make them and if there are mistakes I apologize.
Thank you.
