I am going to submit my cleverly reasoned answer based on critical reading of all episodes and careful perusal of all clues - instead of my initial gut reaction - and will lose and hate myself for the rest of my life [and whoever does win too].

So what we all need to do is vote for everybody - so long as everybody does that, then no moderator will win

I'm sure there's a flaw there somewhere, but I can't see it...

So it is in your interest if no-one guesses deducts the culprit correctly .... mmmm

Ok, question time!

1) Is there only one possible solution, to which we can arrive purely by logic? (yeah right)

2) Is all the relevant information contained inside the story, or will it be helpful, or even needed, to have some extra knowledge about the people involved and their life and interactions inside the forum?

3) Does the story follow the rules (any rules)? Apart from the time thingie, obviously. I mean, will it be an easily explainable in normal everyday terms solution, or something like "a pink flying llama did it", or "pshrynk actually had an evil twin".

4) Is it even decided who the culprit is, or will you just look at our answers and pick the most convincing (or most outrageous) one?

5) Can we trust this Lobster guy, at least now at the end, or is he deliberately trying to mislead us to get all the credit?

6) Are we looking for one name out of 11 (or twelve), or is it possible that they all did it, or that a combination of them did it, or that the gray dog did it?

7) Why do all these smarty-pants detectives ask the minimum number of questions possible before making their wild guesses? (sorry, deductions)

That's all for the moment.

Oh, and...

But if it is too much trouble to answer all of them, you can just tell me the name of the killer!

She said the "winners" will be notified, not the correct guessers. If they let you know if you were correct you could .... oh , I don't know..... IM me and tell me...
