"Quite right. Quite right. I can say with certainty that whole affair is decidedly false." Flax shook her head, giving a long sigh. "It has been quite a long night indeed. Perhaps we are, what is it? Doing the time warp again?"

[TheButlerButInnocent can indeed disprove Sir Shamrock's suggestion. Please cue cacums to suggest. I realize we're getting into the eleventh hour with this game, folks. In the interest of propelling us toward the conclusion, you may feel free to suggest directly to Lt. Flax and I will disprove appropriately in the line and show you a card. In the event a player has more than one card with which they can disprove, only then will I inquire with them. Sound good?]

Vermillion suddenly is perked up in his chair. With his innocence finally spoken out and the sudden speeding up of the process, his mood had suddenly improved. "Perhaps we'll be able to go home this Monday yet! I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place forever, there appears to be a death trap everywhere!"

PeachFreak - That sounds fantastic!
Jamie - I understand you're getting frustrated but please remember not everybody is a frantic note taker like you and I, it's not easy to estimate the skills of our newer members based on a single game - let's try not to blab out what we know. I know I'm guilty of this myself. It's frustrating to the less avid players and net result is we shoot ourselves in the foot.
Besides, trying to figure out what the others know is part of the game )

Quite true, BBP, though at this stage I think we all may be getting a bit weary of finding creative ways to telling people we don't know the answer, move along. Not long after I made my false accusation, I requested PeachFreak if they'd be able to intercede on my behalf, to disprove, or vice versa, though I still manage to do it myself.

Jamie · Post by **Jamie** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 5:36 pm

BBP - I havenâ€™t given away anything that you havenâ€™t already, and I hardly think that itâ€™s requires avid note taking skills to not suggest something that was put forward only three turns beforehand.

[Yes, I do realize we're at the point where we have so few ways remaining to write 'shoulder shrug' in terms of disproving. So really, thank you all for committing to this game and going strong. I think it sounds like a plan. Please do feel free to suggest to me, and I will make every effort to keep it moving as quickly possible and eliminate the disproving wait as we move toward the finale. Cacums, your cue. ClueLover, should cacums not chime in by tomorrow, you may suggest.]

Shamrock shot back, "I'm sorry Rosa, is it a crime to be thorough?" ;P

[Sound good Peach, cue cacums]

"It seems the dark spirits are making their presence known!" Flax decided, glancing around as gibberish seemed to echo off the walls. "Perhaps it is Mr. Boddy and the Baroness, yes? Do tell us who killed you. You seem more talkative than our friends here this evening."

[Cacums has timed out. ClueLover, you may suggest.]

"Terribly sorry, I seem to have dosed off." Mr. Mossman blushes.

[sorry guys, Monday got the best of me and I crashed early]

"Perhaps..." noted Miss Julep, "it was the maharaja. He hasn't been talking much. Likely killed him with the Razor in the Hothouse."

Miss Julep suggests that it was Maharaja Mango with the Razor in the Hothouse; cue Jamie.)

"Perhaps" Suggests Mr. Raven, with a hint of annoyance and impatience, "Mr. Mossman ought to be minding this mystery more than exhausting himself with nightly romps. I'd offer to help this along myself, but this fussy lieutenant has deemed me unfit for insight, no thanks to a certain Gules fellow."

Rosa Cappadona stands, wildly waving her finger at poor Miss Julep. "No, no, no! Honestly, must I do everything..."
"SIT. DOWN!" roared Herr Weiss at the hot-headed Italian. He turned to the quivering Miss Julep, "I believe what she meant to say it that we have proof that your suggestion is incorrect."

"Now", he stands in the middle of the group of chairs, assuming centre stage. "The finger of suspicion has spun around like a wayward compass, but I think I know who it should be pointing at."
He turns on his heels and faces his suspect. "You! You definitely had motive, lusting after that golden umbrella weren't you? And I may be wrong but I sense there is more than a mere coincidence between the names Blau and Blueblood. Perhaps I am mistaken though." He looks around the assembly. "Anyone?"

Herr Weiss suggests that it was Princess Blueblood with the Razor in the Hothouse.

"Are you hoping to cause an international incident, sir? Because that is exactly how one goes about causing an international incident. Flinging fingers at royalty. Not that this whole affair is not already an incident of international magnitude." Flax replied, pursing her lips together. "Blueblood means something quite different in our native tongue. I assure you. But perhaps you ought to watch where your own tongue wiggles, yes?"

[Jamie has suggested Princess Blueblood with the Razor in the Hothouse.

BBP cannot disprove

Vermillion rubs his chin.
"Well, Mr Raven, since you're so bent on us never learning anything, how about you going down for the chop?"

BBP is approaching bedtime so not inventive at the moment, suggests Raven - Razor - Hothouse.

Don't forget CL98's suggestion!

PeachFreak · Post by **PeachFreak** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 5:47 pm

"Mr. Raven, you may feel free to chop our friend Mr. Vermillion in the face, should you like to re-involve yourself at least physically."

[Let the record also show Jamie has disproven ClueLover's suggestion of Mango - Razor - Hothouse

BBP has suggested Mr. Raven with the Razor in the Hothouse

TheButlerButInnocent cannot disprove
Sir Shamrock cannot disprove
cacums cannot disprove
Cluedokid cannot disprove
ClueLover98 can disprove.

TheButlerButInnocent, you may suggest. However, because you have missed several cues in a row recently, I'm afraid I'm going to have to shorten the time limit, at least for this round, until 9 AM EST tomorrow morning in the interest of maintaining this momentum. If no suggestion has been made by that time, you may suggest, Sir Shamrock.]

"Why thank you Lt. Flax."

Sir Shamrock paced around the room.

"Well I think it's obvious who did it. It was Signorina Cappadona, in the-"

"Museum with the Golden Umbrella." Great Aunt Smoke interrupted.

[Cue cacums]

"Why you...you...figlio di puttana!" screams Rosa. "Never have I been accused of such a thing!"

Herr Weiss gently cleared his throat, "I accused you earlier."

"Si, and don't think I have forgotten it." She sits back down heavily in the chair and folds her arms, waiting hopefully for the Lieutenant to disprove.

Cue Flax

"Not so obvious, I fear," Flax retorted. "You can rest more easily, madame. Perhaps it is the earliness of the hour, but I just had an amusing thought. Would it not be convenient were there some sort of...envelope in the center of the house? One which we could investigate to find the truth?"

"Mr. Raven with the Razor in the Hothouse" Mr. Mossman tosses out.

[cue CluedoKid/PeachFreak to disprove]
