Haha.

The main problem is clues. If you give an amateur riddle maker a limited time to make riddles, they're probably not going to be very good. Even if you give them a long time to make clues they probably won't be much better. They'll either be inclined to make them too simple (which is boring) or they'll be too arbitrarily difficult and the solution won't be anything that anyone who isn't the person who made the riddle would probably ever think of, which will frustrate your players and they won't want to keep going.

It would almost be better for the riddles to not actually point directly to the intended victim, but they could be generalized riddles (that you could find anywhere created by people who are experienced in making these things) and preferably have your players agree not to use Google to try and cheat their way to the answer. If this is the case, though, then the SK wouldn't really have much to do unless you let him be the one to pick the riddles.

Another possibility would be to include more steps than Day-Night-Day-Night, etc. You could have some sort of checkpoint during the day where the players can show their thoughts and maybe get a hint (probably could design some sort of points system for them to be able to buy hints) and where the SK could take some action (cripple a player so they can't post for the rest of the day, auto-impeach the mayor so the town has to re-elect, and so on). Maybe just give the town a set amount of Hint Points for the game's duration and the SK a set amount of Action Points. Possibly consider some minor role types for the characters so that they'll have more to do.

Paranoid-Mayor = MWD's character, the paranoid one, who became mayor.
Fresh was the name i had sent to me, but i totally made a mistake with who died.
It was actually MWD who died. I didn't proofread what I wrote. I claim full responsibility for any confusion.

I will now go through the PMs with Choco and pull out all the riddles and explanations.

one possible role i thought of was a detective that had a certain number of times that they could probe me for clues about the SK or a riddle.

Riddle #1:

"You impress me. Not just anyone has the patience to do what you do. All that time in University...and a foreign language too? That's pretty good. Too bad, though. Where you're going, those skills won't be helping you."
Target: Ryu


R2
 
Clue: Advanced studies and skills didn't help her too much, now did they? University studies arent as important as she thought. I figure you're going to agree with me, even if its the last thing you do. After all, its not like you went to University or anything, right? Maybe in your next life, you wont be so useless in school.
Target: Garm


R3 + Bonus
 


Clue (if Garm dies): "What do you know? The Mayor couldn't handle his liquor after all. How about you? You just became legal, and I'm pretty sure you've got nothing else to do than drink. Think you can handle yours? Just don't buy from the same place as the foolishly foolish fool of a Mayor, or you'll be sorry..."
Target: RLD

Clue (if Garm lives): "So, you think you've stopped me? Not a chance. The drunken bastard was just a decoy; a diversion, if you will. The way I see it, if you foolishly foolish fools think I'm going after the top guy, you won't notice me going for the low man on the totem pole. Well, that is, until he bleeds all over the ground. It just may give new meaning to the word 'youngblood'."
Target: FraN


R4
 
Clue: "Well well, I bet you all are feeling quite cocky. Another successful thwarting of my kill? That's more than I expected from you people. After all, you're led by a drunken idiot. At least he can hold his liquor. How about you? You just became legal not that long ago, and I'm pretty sure you've got nothing else to do than drink. Think you can handle yours?"
Target: RLD


R5+Bonus
 
If RLD is saved: "This was fun when we first begun. However, you've continuously thwarted me, and I'm getting angry. Three times is three times too many. Do you think I'm not as good as you? Is it because I don't play tennis? Tennis is absolutely lame, and before I'm done here, all of you tennis playing idiots will surely die."
Target: FraN
Identity Point: A CD. There is a generic HP logo on it, but no other writing or labels. (reason: The disc is clearly an audio disc, but could be seen as a data disc used by one of the computer-related people)

If RLD dies: "Want to know why he had to die? Because I said so, that's why. Now, I see a lot of you have fat wallets. Money is great, money is good. In this world, the more you have, the better. However, if you think money will save you here, you're a fool. I know you're sitting on your pile of cash, but cash won't help you when you're swinging from a tree like a nigger down South."
Target: Judge


R6
 
Playtime is over. Posted Image
Target: FraN


Now for the ones you guys hated most:

R7
 
Clue: Terrorizing you has made even me tired. No appreciation for random clues, guys? Really? Even though this lovely insanity of slaying all fools is refreshing? No? Excellent. You shall die, homie.
Target: Knives (mod clue: look at the first letter of every other word, starting with the first.)


R8
 
That...was unexpected. Way to catch the "Fresh" in the post. Lameassses. C Anyway, I'm going to try the same kind of clue.

Identity Point: A picture of a young woman. The picture is a little burned around the edges and has a bullet hole through it. (it's of my girl, aww yeah)
Clue: Fuckers. Essentially, you insulted my decision to lower the life expectancies in this world. Do you really expect to go and do this every time?
Target: Miles Edgeworth (mod clue: start with the end of sentence. Take the first letter of every other word, starting with the second word. It spells out 'Edgey Will Die').


R9
 
Clue: "Hahaha, foolishly foolish fools. It seems that you all are too stupid to figure my clues out. Have you figured this one out yet? Raven, Paree, Greg, DayShone, Harold, Patrick, Fresh, and Alex...one of you is about to die. But which one? Have you figured it out yet? It's one less."
Target: Patrick
(mod clue: Look at the last sentence (it's one less). That last sentence is the major clue. The target is one less than the number of sentences in the clue. There are seven sentences, so look at the sixth name listed in the list of names. There's your target. >_>)


R10
 
All right, let's try to dumb it down for them a bit.

Clue: "How are you gentlemen!! Don't you worry, though. There is no base. There are no zigs. There is, however, great justice. Great, glorious justice. For just a few short days ago, I was on the brink of capture. I was THAT close to being hauled in. I decided then that it was best to unleash my superior intellect upon you all. The results have been far better than I could have ever hoped for.

Five of you are now dead. You know what that means? Five less fools to get in the way. Five less people to oppose the death that is in store for you. Five of your comrades have perished. Who shall be next? You all are hopelessly clueless, and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop the onslaught of death that I shall visit upon you wretched fools.

Let me add one more thing. You have no chance to survive. Make your time."

Target: Hobo-Mayor
(mod clue: Raven, Paree, Greg, DayShone, Harold, Fresh, and Alex: this is the player list. The clue to you is the number of times the word I was used in the clue. Five times. The fifth person in the player list is Hobo-Mayor, so that's my target. I also gave the Town this hint myself yesterday, by pointing out the number of times the word one was used in the last clue, and saying that was the critical clue to solve that one. Maybe, just maybe, someone will pick up on that and put 2 and 2 together...)
(mod clue #2: The word five is mentioned four times. Similar to the fake clue I presented yesterday, the addition of "one more thing" will indicate that the number of times the word five is used needs to be increased by one in order to point at the target.)


R11
 
Clue: "Why must you people bitch so much about my clues? What do you want from me? Do you want me to just put the name on the paper of my next victim? Hell, you people should be grateful that I'm even providing these clues to you. But listen carefully. They're out to get you, man. They're out to get you. You know they wanna just hold you down. That's what they do."
Target: Whiskey (decided to dumb it down a lot)


Final
 
Assuming they get it right:
Identity Point: A medal. It's shiny, and has the American flag placed on it .
Clue: Almost done with this nonsense. Do you know who I am yet? Come on, it should be obvious. Just know this. If you don't figure it out today, then I will take you all out. It's all or nothing. Let's do it. I want a drink.
Target: Whiskey


Every explanation that I received.
