Okay, you all who have read the Game Setup thread have noticed that there are not Firefly characters. And those who haven't read it, knew that already anyway (ref: dotchan). Specifically, the names are: Connor Phillips Top Dog Ramiro Branden Shaw Anyone who can identify the source of the names can choose a method of death for future Nightkillings (or lynches, if NAF chooses to swipe any of the choices). One death method per name identified. (Offer valid for first person to identify the source.) Once is really easy, one is easy if you know what to look for, the other two could be extremely difficult.

Is the answer to Top Dog because of the reference to voting for Top Dog started over in M5 on the SDMB?

Yep. That's the "really easy" one. ;D
You can post your method of death choice in this thread.

Oh fun. ;D Let me think on that for a bit. I'm torn between something "smurfy" or going for the most gruesome way I can think of

I was very tempted to go with the "shoved into the engine intake of Serenity", but I'm not sure how anyone would know that someone has been killed then How about, in the style of the death of Bishop in Aliens (my favourite Sci-Fi movie ever), someone is speared through the guts and then torn in two? How's that for gruesome ;D [My thoughts on a choking or poison to turn the executed's face blue (tre' smurfy) would I think just send everyone thinking it was a clue left to the Hands of Blue boys ]

I think I can manage that. I haven't seen Aliens, so I'll have to use my imagination.
As for being shoved into Serenity's engine intake, I would rather that be used as a lynch method*, since Mal's the one who did it in the series.
*I originally typed that as "methos". Is that a sign of anything?

The best I could find via google for Connor Phillips (Connor Philips) is: "Taunted by his peers for his Americanised cop persona, Conner Philips (Matt Routledge) is unequalled in the art of fighting crime. Turning chopsticks, trouser belts, socks and towels into unusual weapons to combat crime, he is walking advertisment for the Mersey Police. However the kung-fu kicking scouse detective's skills are put to the test when a new gangster moves to the north west and is determined to ruin the lives of every police officer in Liverpool. Unmoved by wealth, and motivated by vengence, his message is a clear one. By placing a bomb at the top of the Liverpool tower, he hopes to lure the police into the building, seemingly to disarm the bomb. But he has other plans in mind for the innocent police officers" via imdb for some show called Mersey Cop. Although I would be quite tickled if the character is actually a 10 year old boy, previously the owner of a 237 pound hog named "Pork Chop" ( $36000 for a pig!)

My initial thought for Connor was Angel's son, but I don't think his last name is Phillips.
BTW can you give me a bit of color for Fanty/Mingo? Just in case Cookies or Captain Klutz get's lynched. They are the only 2 cannon characters that I don't know.

Although I just realized that I overlooked something important...If both of them claim their safeclaims, and one dies...the other is pretty much screwed. Hmm.

I was planning on using the safe name as part of the color if they get lynched. And the scum have already put together a plan to deal with the issue of what happens if one claims and gets lynched anyway.

Maybe not. They've worked up an elaborate "good twin/evil twin" scenario on the scum boards.
And yeah, you'd do the color for them as HOB guys. Maybe could try to fake everyone out by revealing them as Fanty or Mingo first and then pull off the mask like an episode of Scooby Doo, ;D

I think I can manage that. I haven't seen Aliens, so I'll have to use my imagination. Not seen Aliens If it helps any, the scene I'm talking about goes like this - Ripley and Bishop (an android) have just stepped onto the hangar deck of their ship, after escaping from the planet thinking they have won the day, when a massive barbed tail erupts out of Bishops chest, and he is lifted up off the deck, struggling and "android fluid" gushing out of his mouth. The camera pans back to show the Alien Queen cramped into the "wheel" well of the dropship. Her tail has pierced Bishop right through the stomach (back to front), and using her tail alone, the Queen lifts him up towards her, Bishop cranes his neck over his shoulder to see what has happened. With Ripley watching The Alien Queen puts one claw on the side of Bishops chest, and the other on his hip, and with a massive wrench his body seperates along his abdomen, his torso flying off in one direction his legs the other. For some reason that scene has always stuck with me, particulary the bit when Bishop's torso lands, and he is still "alive", the look on his face as he looks back up at the Queen, kind of like a "What the...?" Obviously the Alien Queen bit is out, but a torso this way, legs that way would be pretty cool ;D

Well, I'd like for someone to get mauled by a 237 pound hog named "Pork Chop," but I'm afraid that would be unfair to MadTheSwine. Although MadTheSwine is essentially confirmed town.
Perhaps someone can get mauled by some other out of place creature (read not a wolf). Perhaps a Bear or a small fluffy bunny. Better yet, a Bear AND a small fluffy bunny. Awwww, so cute, they're sharing.
I'll think some more about this. The schlumpf is first anyway. (As a strange coincidence the guy in my office decided to teach me the word for Smurf in German today).

"Would you care for another slice?" asked the Bear. "Oh, I couldn't possibly eat another bite," replied the small fluffy bunny, "Where did you manage to find chocolate of all things on this spaceship?" "One of those charming humans tipped me off that <<Rolename>> was in possession of some high quality cacao. You know how I've had these wonderful apricots with no chocolate to go with them. What a terrible tragedy that would have been! So I visited <<Rolename>> and asked if I could have some chocolate for my apricots, and the very rude fellow/lady refused to share." "How very rude," interjected the small fluffy bunny. "So I bit his/her face off," continued the Bear. "Serves him/her right," the small fluffy bunny pouted. "And s/he was a very rude and talkative meal. All this yammering on about ________ and _________ and <<Role>>. These humans can be quite strange sometimes -- strange but tasty." "Oh well, in that case I'll have another small slice," and the small fluffy bunny cheerfully joined the Bear in another helping of Roasted <<screenname>> with chocolate apricot dessert.

Ok I think I have it now. I searched on Brandon Shaw and reaver, got nothing. Brandon Shaw and zombie and go nothing. Then Brandon Shaw and psycho and got:
Brandon Shaw, a young comedian from San Diego, Ca. had his first brush with superstardom in the late 1950’s. Having lost the roll of Norman Bates in Psycho to Anthony Perkins
I also looked up the name of the American Psycho in Ellis's book but that was a dead end.
Is this the right Mr. Shaw?

Wow. That's damn good searching, but not the inspiration for Branden's name.
I didn't realize how many Brandon Shaw's exist that are connected to murder and mayhem. ;D
If people are interested, I will give a hint. Or if you prefer, you can hold the hint offer in reserve if you'd like to keep trying for a bit first. Just post in here asking for a hint if you want one.
