Clue game 13

Quote: beachbumbabs

Congrats, miplet! I flipped a coin between Scarlet and Mustard and got it wrong.

Curious. Did Wiz must've shown you the Candlestick card in round 3 (when you suggested Scarlet). How did you Elim Mustard? Did you have him?

My cards were Plum, Revolver, Conservatory for those who want to know afterwards.

I had Mustard wrench and hall

Wiz showed me Candlestick.

I had hardly anything before your accusation. Not sure what I would have done if you didn’t make an accusation. I probably would have had to make a wild guess.

Yeah, I knew I gave it away. With Wiz just ahead of me, and knowing most of what he'd seen, he was going to get it. I didn't think you had enough, but I had to try while it was still my turn, and you got the benefit of it. Congrats again, and well played.

Congratulations, Miplet. Even with BBB's failed accusation, I still wasn't sure on the suspect.

Well done Miplet. I was hot on your tail.
Had peacock, dining room and lounge. Had the room sussed and faced 4 possible solutions, so too risky to accuse but I knew a solution was close..
On my my last move I was being a bit tricky in going to the study knowing full well that I'd look careless and see the same study card again. But my only other option was to leave the room and make no suggestion. My idea was to still not give any data to wizard. My priority, in the absence of winning, was to let him lose to another. It's all in the EV.
I'm going to play it through from BBB's point of view. I suspect she guessed while she had several possible outcomes, is that correct Babs?

$:o)

I think for future sessions, I need to keep a closer eye on what I know other players know.
Still can't get any probability calcs on this.

Surely 30 minutes after posting the suggestion is tons of time *now*, and you should not make an accusation without checking the thread [not just using the app to see if it is your turn]

I agree. If you are so close to making an accusation, just put a note to that effect in the thread asking for some time. If you expect to need more time, then ask for up to 12 hours, since we are in way different time zones. E.g I was playing at 3am and flagging. Or, as I did, just say 'go ahead without me.'

I know we had this exact discuss with the first round of games but forgot what we decided on or if we ever did work something out.

My suggestion is you should immediately post after your turn to request time to consider an accusation if you are seriously considering making one. The maximum request should be one hour. If there is no request, the next player is free to go.

1 hour works for me. If I need more than an hour, I shouldnt be starting my move.

Your accusation got me the room and weapon*, and the Murderer down to the 3 ladies so I had a 2/3 chance on winning.
*Wiz could of had the lead pipe but he would have shown me during my suggestion.

I was going to make an accusation my next turn and I would have been right! Darn it.

Nice that we were all so close. You new guys are catching on nicely.
