Clue number 10...

[Squipy]

clue 10: sunshine could still be referring to phish's sunset artwork?

[Zurn]

Squipy, here is something of a tip (I suppose) "It's an individual from ingame." and the Who Dunnit is for both servers. So think who is on both servers with the same name (or relatively close) that everyone could know?

[JoboDaHobo]

clue 1: work all day work all night = npc
"pay me in sand"
if i had a wealthy man = woman
rich mans world = woman
clue 2: "don't blame it on the moonlight" = it wasn't moonlight
clue 3: its a mans world = woman character
clue 4: "when taking statements, note people's credentials"
clue 5: hawaii 50 = lots of water
clue 6: i get around = the cuprit moves or travels
clue 7: grains of sand = near a beach/river/lake
clue 8: "I couldn't believe her if I tried"
clue 9: jaws
clue 10: "where the rivers flow and I call it home"
zurn clue: both servers = (npc)

clues point toward someone thats near a beach/river/water
clues point toward a woman
clues point toward someone who moves around or travels
clues point toward dark place

the culprit must be Cassirin from adventurer plains

why?
femail character clues 1,3,8,
near water clues 5, 9, 10
near beach (sand) clues 1, 7
doesn't make much (pay in sand) clues 1
has a boat next to her (i get around) clues 6

AND SHE HAS A MOTIVE: instructor's always mad at her

edit: also her motive ties into "its a mans world"

if i use JoboDaHobo reasons,
my suspect would be Shroon [Ikaness Staff]

1. When you talk to Shroon: "Do not disregard the power of the Ikaness. The day of repentance is coming."
~who doesn't hate Crune? , he just failed an 89% refine of mine hours ago, i'd love to punch him!
~and i always think of him as a scammer npc
~maybe Shroon wanna be like Robinhood (steals money from Crune as a punishment)

2. I don't really follow the story or history of npc's so this one might be wrong..
Shroon is an Ikaness staff
Ikaness staff deals with magic, and maybe their headquarters (lol) is in Luna.
planet luna have a moon symbol on it, + luna is the latin for moon, so there goes the moonlight clue

3. clue # 3: it's a mans world
ANIMA (definition from google)

• Jung's term for the feminine part of a man's personality.

~for the it's a man's world clue

ANIMA and ANIMUS from wikipedia

Spoiler

The anima and animus can be identified as the totality of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a male possesses or the masculine ones possessed by the female, respectively. It is an archetype of the collective unconscious and not an aggregate of father or mother, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles or teachers, though these aspects of the personal unconscious can influence the person for good or ill.
Because a man's sensitivity must often be repressed, the anima is one of the most significant autonomous complexes of all. It is said to manifest itself by appearing in dreams. It also influences a man's interactions with women and his attitudes toward them and vice versa for females and the animus. Jung said that "the encounter with the shadow is the 'apprentice-piece' in the individual's development...that with the anima is the 'masterpiece'".^[1] Jung viewed the anima process as being one of the sources of creative ability.

~moonlight attack clue again


clue # 4: take people's credentials
~Shroon looks like a type of npc that judges a person. Maybe that's why she says the day of repentance is coming.

clue # 5: lots of water
anima lake

clue # 6: culprit moves or travels
i don't know how to connect Shroon in this..

clue # 7: grains of sand
Anima lake

clue # 9: "JAWS"
the Aquas (monsters of Anima Lake) looks like sharks.

clue # 10: where the rivers flow i call it home
anima lake have a river (and falls: lots of water)

I agree. It makes more sense to be Shroon

clue 1: work all day work all night = npc
"pay me in sand" = near sandy area
if i had a wealthy man = woman
rich mans world = woman
clue 2: "don't blame it on the moonlight" = it wasn't moonlight
clue 3: its a mans world = woman character
clue 4: "when taking statements, note people's credentials" - same reasoning as in quote
clue 5: hawaii 50 = lots of water
clue 6: i get around = the cuprit moves or travels - maybe its because shes not in the same city
clue 7: grains of sand = near a beach/river/lake
clue 8: "I couldn't believe her if I tried"
clue 9: jaws - same reasoning as in quote
clue 10: "where the rivers flow and I call it home" - makes more sense to be where water is flowing (the waterfall)
zurn clue: both servers = (npc)


edit: additionally the way she talks she comes off as "dark" and she stands in the shade = moonlight reference?

I'm changing my answer back to Cassirin.

It makes more sense beacuse she has a motive and I likethe way it ties into "people's credentials" because she talks about not being good at what she does in the eyes of her peers/instructors. The main reason I had changed was the moonlight reference, and I don't think moonlight was supposed to be as big of a clue as people made it to be which is why the "don't blame it on the moonlight" video went out.

*News Flash*

Junon Guards have informed me, that a Suspect has been taken into custody.
They expect to get a confession soon.

[Kitt]

I hope the guards picked up the right person -- Judith from Sunshine Coast!

Here's the deductive path I took to settle on this person as the culprit:

Clue 1 -- Money, Money, Money -- this points towards not only the victim in this case, that is Crune (he must be easily one of the richest people in the world) but also part of the motive.

Clue 2 -- Blame It On The Boogie -- a two-fer -- pointing away from Moonlightattack as the culprit, and mentioning boogie -- which is not only a dance but also a recreational piece of equipment for use at a beach -- a boogie board.

Clue 3 -- It's A Man's World -- I do believe this points toward a woman as a culprit, and speaks to her motive for selecting her target.

Clue 4 -- Paying attention to people's credentials -- Let's face it, the Junon Gate Guards aren't really able to prevent Visitors from leaving, so I think this indicates that the culprit is an NPC.

Clue 5 -- Hawaii 5-0 -- Here's another indication of a beach, and while the show was/is a police procedural, I think many of us think about the fun beach aspects of being in Hawaii.

Clue 6 -- The Beach Boys -- another beach clue, and the 'I get around' part seems to indicate that the culprit is NOT a Junon Polis native.

Clue 7 -- The grains of sand found at the crime scene seem to confirm the beach hypothesis.

Clue 8 -- The Monkees with their song 'I'm A Believer'. I think the important part to look at is the line 'the more I gave the less I got' and 'when I needed sunshine all I got was rain'. This points toward the other part for the motive of the crime.

Clue 9 -- The theme from Jaws -- a more ominous reference to the prevailing beach theme, perhaps to remind us that a crime has been committed.

Clue 10 -- I think the important part of this clue is in the title -- A Pocketful Of SUNSHINE.

Clue 11 -- Again, the beach.

So, I suspect Judith because she is a female NPC, who's not from Junon Polis, who lives at the beach at Sunshine Coast. As for motive, I believe that if questioned properly, we might find that she's resentful of the fact that Crune makes so very much money for, let's face it, rather suspect and slip-shod work, while she has some nice and sought-after equipment with the beach, bikini, and lifeguard gear she has -- but she's paid, not in zulie, but in TRASH! I'd be upset too, if it were me!

I hope, that if she returns Crune's zulie, the authorities go easy on her.

Congratulations to you Kitt. It was indeed NPC Judith.
Check your pm box, will pm you with further details.

[CoffeeMuse]

Good job Kitt. Would you mind posting a screen shot with your mount soon as you get it?

[Phish]

Damn, Squipy had me convinced that I actually was guilty.

[Squipy]

i'm still not entirely convinced you're not, adam..

It's been a heck of a week and I haven't had a chance to do anything of a fun nature until today. I'm so happy I won! Until that last 'beach' clue I was thinking it was Harin, since she was already behind a night time raid on a fellow NPC, and her poor fiance Alex had been buried in the sand in the El Verloon Desert.

I decided the awesome dragon mount would be the best fit on my FFIV-themed account, so here's a screencap of baby (lvl 19) Soldier DarkKnightCecil posing with his new dragon pal at the helm of the airship docked in Junon Polis. For any here who've played FFIV, you can understand my slight sadness that the airship wings aren't red.
