a question and a suggestion:-
As I understand it, only the last person to play may make an accusation, which will surely be based on the analysis of his most recent suggestion...
That would seem to give rise to the possibility that the next due player can quickly leap in with his move, thus robbing the previous player of the time required to make his analysis and potential accusation.
Is there anything within the game mechanism that removes this risk? If not, should we maybe impose a 5 or 10 minute 'thinking time' before the next player may move?
That thinking time seems currently limited by the amount of attention we pay to the game, in any case, but we could maybe agree to sit quiet for 5 or 10 minutes as a courtesy?
Or am I over thinking this?

We normally would post right after the suggestion that we might be making an accusation.

I’m on my last break at work. Will make my move in about 45 minuets when I’m off.

Cool.
I still can't get over how much data your last suggestion yielded in that last game. Either you are a genius or luck has more to play in this game that I'd realised. . . or both.

Green (mip)
Enters Ballroom
Suggests Mr. Green with Rope in Ballroom
Peacock (dum) disproves


Note to everyone: dummy players can’t reorder their cards. If they have more than one they will show character first, then weapon, and room last. If they have already shown you a card , they will show you that one again. So if dummy showed me Rope, I would know he didn’t have Green. If he showed Ballroom, then he didn’t have Green or Rope.

if making an accusation I suggest withholding the posts , then post all at once including the accusation

not foolproof I guess

Was thinking the same thing. However, i don't know if, when someone has made a move but not yet posted, anyone else checking the Move log would also see the move. I'm guessing they would. But it wouldn't do them much good if it's not their turn. Unless we're allowing accusations out of turn?
