I don't really care how the question is phrased, as long as we ask about the bowtie and an even room.

Why would it matter if he had the only key to the billiard room? He was killed in the library.

IE's question

Can you vote for your own questions?? I'm doing it anyway. I'll be leaving the office at 4:30, and working my cooking job until probably 10:30. I will be nowhere near the Internet until then. Just so no one thinks I "mysteriously" disappeared.

I'm convinced that Rel's character is a little 'touched' in this game. Certainly not a regular guest. ;)

IE''s question

Don't know if this has been said but could some of the items be things that could lead us away from the killer?

Like planted evidence maybe? That would be interesting and difficult to figure out.

Just got done reading through the thread.

Are we not allowed to simply ask something like, Did a person in an odd-numbered room kill bhaw?

Doesn't that avoid the uncertainty concerning the bowtie's significance?

Sorry if I missed something.

I see you are all having a lot of fun with your new toy -- the ability to ask a question. Perhaps Benny and I should have been a bit better in the directions that we provided as to what types of questions are acceptable. I'd like to come in and clear a few things up, as this vote on IE's question is taking off, and I don't believe that her question is within the rules that we had in mind.

Each player may propose (in purple) one question per day phase.
The group will vote on whose question they like, and the question with the most votes at the time of the lynch will be asked.

The rules relevant to the questions that can be asked are as follows:

(1) The question must be a yes/no question.
(2)(a) The question must relate to a single clue (2)(b) of a specific player or a specific group of players.

It is 2(b) that we probably did not explain sufficiently. A question cannot ask about a non-identifiable player. IrishEyes' question, for example, asking about "the person who owned the bowtie in bhaw's hand" is not a proper question. Ask whether a player's name could be substituted for [the person who owned the bow tie in bhaw's hand]. The odd/even room questions or the "green name" questions are fine because specific player names could be substituted. As Benny put it, "Think of an answer you might get if you searched someone's room." Frank Stybenter needs to know who he is looking at to give an answer to your question. He doesn't know who "the person who owned the bow tie in bhaw's hand" is, if there is such a person.

Please keep this in m ind going forward. We apologize for the confusion.

So this was a valid question?

Was the a guest wearing the a bow tie staying in an even room number?

BTW: Where did the edit come from?

It would seem that each character would have a weapon, a room key, and a third item. The death was in the library, but bhaw possessed the key to the billiard room. Was he dragged to the library? Or did he and the killer both have access to the library? I think we assume his room was the billiard room by the key he had but I doubt we should be assuming anything.

Would not be surprised if there was but a single baddie in this, yet no seer. Might expect the killer to have a skeleton key, now that I think of it.

I think the appropriate format of a question of this nature would be:

Is a guest in an even room wearing a bow tie?

Relates to a single clue.
"Guest in an even room" can be substituted with a list of actual names.

Can we bump the kill vote deadline back to tomorrow morning? I've been so focused on the questions and catching up on the thread that haven't really thought on who to kill.

Accuse:
1 - IE (EPP)
1 - Rel (Troy)
1 - redwill (thg)
1 - Rylan (obhave)
1 - mac (NAN)


Question:
6 - EPP's Q (NAN, obhave, ps87, IE, Shaf, columbia)
Spoiler:
Did someone with an odd numbered room number wear a bowtie?
4- Columbia's Q (THG, Troy, Gaucho)
Spoiler:
Is a guest staying in an even room wearing a bow tie?
:Note the corrected form of columbia's question:

Note: I did not count votes for IE's question or those switching their vote off of either of these questions.

Given that the bowtie is in bhaw's hand, I don't think Columbia's question will yield a result other than No. EPP's is similar but asks in the past tense instead of present. If those are the only choices, I'd go with EPP's.

This. Was just about to post the same thing. Need to be careful of tenses.
