Nice try, GeoffC. BTW, the German word 'Mörder' is neutral too.


A clue there, I'd say.

Okay . . . which one of the mods is neutered????

Here are some phrases that can be made from that query:

No phrases listed? Try again using a larger word limit.
There's not enough vowels to make a solution out of that. And I doubt WDE (wetdogear) would count anyway.

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...




Print? You have a reader, surely?
We refuse to answer these questions on the grounds that the answers would only confuse you more... or make it much too easy.

You clearly need more vowels, unless of course it is a Semitic language like Hebrew.

Attachment 51461


I'm hoping the spelling mistakes are the only mistakes in the story. Some numbers and other things don't really add up, and I'm not sure if it is intentional (a clue!) or just another silly mistake, nothing to see here, move along kind of thing...
