Actually I have just submitted my guess as to who the murderer is. It seemed pretty simple to me, but of course that probably means I guessed wrong. lol. Well at least I won't have to wait long to find out if I was right or not. I wouldn't mind winning an Amazon Kindle certainly.

Nothing to see here, folks, move along........




(pooh......if I give you Karma.....??? Will you tell me the name of the murder-er?)

...[no]...

[poohbear_nc]

Hint: Eliminate all the characters who couldn't have committed the murder without being seen by another character.

Yes - the murderer does appear in the story.

Poor poohbear has a cameo appearance.

OK folks -- calm down -- you're letting yourselves get carried away -- I know the writing is dazzling & witty, filled with unforgettable characters you've never met, but you must approach this mystery just like any regular mystery:

1. Did you have an instant instinctual flash: "Aha - X is guilty"?
2. Which characters have alibis?
3. Which characters couldn't possibly have done it?
4. Which character(s) is(are) lying?
5. Who is the obviously guilty party?

The characters talk a lot, but a careful reading of the episodes will guide you to the solution.

Alibis for when?
It's rather difficult to establish a timeline with Alex drinking innumerable hot toddies at the same time (or are evening and nightly hot toddies different?) and alleged fights with pshrynk being witnessed at the same time as well. And "earlier this evening", when everything seems to have happened, is not very accurate either...

Oh and the whole thing gets that little bit more complicated when we are not entirely sure who the dead body is - or if there is one at all, though I'll take your word for it.

Kinda hard doing that on a multi-temporal-crazy-mystery like this one, but let's try.

1. Did you have an instant instinctual flash: "Aha - X is guilty"?
Had one of those for every new suspect (and got dissapointed at every new explanation). So, I guess this one doesn't count.

2. Which characters have alibis?
Well, I guess the chicken doesn't, but everyone else were seen by Jeeves sometime (or at least he says so)

3. Which characters couldn't possibly have done it?
Again, the chicken so it invalidates the above question either.

4. Which character(s) is(are) lying?
Every single bastard seems to be lying. Even Zelda seems like a big fat liar by now. I guess she went into the MR building just to get some action (and ended up in bed with filip)

5. Who is the obviously guilty party?
No one is OBVIOUSLY guilty (except the mod who killed the chicken), but everyone seems a bit guilty, if not guilty of murder, guilty of some other crime.

The characters talk a lot, but a careful reading of the episodes will guide you to the solution.

More tips and hints always appreciated


PS.: by the way, If i nominate "Jeeves" as the culprit, will I have to tell which Jeeves? (if not, this is the best bet so far )
