RE: Murder VI - The Quest. Day 2 ends 31st July 1 PM GMT. Look for the Red and Green keys. Userbars for all playing!
"No, no, no, no, no!"
Irritated, Dustox tried to get everyone's attention. "You guys need to stop this! Stop trying to figure out the murderer based on the note! You'll never get it. Since the murderer isn't required to implicate himself in them, you have to think that the entire thing is a red herring."
A little calmer now, Dustox floated casually over everyone's heads. "It's all too obvious that Gengar would be accused based on the nature of the note. Don't you see? It's too obvious... We must wait for the first council clue. That way, we can be sure that it can be trusted to lead us in the right direction."
(The rest of this is out of character because I have to drive this point home before I die. You guys seem to be forgetting one very important note: finding the murderer is not going to be that easy. Do you guys really think Multiplicity is going to be THAT STUPID so as to leave such an obvious clue in the note, when it would OBVIOUSLY say "Hey, I'm guilty, kill me please!"
If you can't trust all of it, you can't trust any of it. The murderer could include something in his note that casts vague suspicion on everyone (including himself, just to be safe), and then what would you do? Everyone would accuse everyone else, and we'd never figure out the murderer's identity. The only clue that can be trusted is the one given by the council of ghosts because they know who the murderer is.
Last game, when red blastoise mentioned we had to look at people with few ties to the murder note, I got scared. He's absolutely correct. You'll notice that I killed him the night after he said that, because I knew if I left him alone, he'd point the finger at me soon enough. Leaving Joeypals!! alive at the end was a dangerous move - I thought I could convince him to vote for whoever Gallade was, and I'd have it won. Instead, he used his head and accused me, and that was good game. I should have played it safe and nuked the one person who was ACTUALLY USING HIS HEAD.
The murderer is not going to be so dumb as to leave blatantly obvious clues in his note, and neither is his accomplice. I think you guys are way off base with your suggestions. Look at the murder notes I left in the last game. How many of them could be linked back to me, or Gastrodon? Like, one, and only because I intentionally made it so. Everything else--the colors, the bad grammar, everything--was a red herring. You guys have to assume that the murderer and his buddy are trying to be slick and leave clues that are way too obvious.
You guys did this all last game, too. You dismissed the council clues as being too vague and focused on the notes I left, which is the wrong thing to do. Have I ingrained this in your heads yet? I really hope so, because if I wind up dead tonight and you guys don't use the council clue to identify the murderer, I'm permabanning each and every one of you I'll be very upset =[.)
