I can't believe I saw another turn and still couldn't win. It came down to a roll of the dice. Dramatic game. I will refrain from being specific until it's over. I should be back home late Saturday. Up to group if you want to wait for me if you start up game 51. I'm happy to go last if that can be arranged. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Congratulations! Not that I wish a loss on anyone but I'm happy to see you get this one. Big five points too. On my turn I could narrow the room down to the Dining Room, Ballroom, Billiard Room, and Library. Although the Dining room has been very good to me, and I knew only you, mip, or bbb had it, I had a feeling Barb and mip didn't suggest it because they had it or knew who did. The Ballroom I could narrow down to just you or bbb. Again, it seemed suspiciously ignored. No, it had to be an overlooked room, which was the Library or Billiard room. I didn't have a coin at hand so I assigned the Billiard room "even" and the Library "odd" and plucked a random bill out of my wallet and based on decision on the serial number. Lucky for you it was even. BTW, I screwed up on my suggestion two turns ago with the Wrench. Meant to put in lead pipe but I had just woke up, didn't have my coffee yet, and just entered the wrong one. Did my suggesting the wrench lead anyone astray? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| gamerfreak Member since: Feb 19, 2018 Threads: 4 Posts: 527 | My haphazard notes led to me making a few incorrect deductions. But...I think I have a better process and format nailed down now, and I created print out detective sheet to fill in by pencil. I thought about just doing it all in excel, but I like doing these types of games on pencil and paper. Wiz’s hiding of the conservatory is what I think tripped me up the most, and I was able to deduce the fewest of his cards as well. Also the huge amount of turns it took for us to reveal whether Miplet had Mustard or Monday. |

| miplet Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 8 Posts: 975 | Congrats odiousgambit! This was definitely a good game. I had it down to 2 weapons and with Wiz the only one that could have Conservatory and with everyone else able to get there next turn, I knew I had to guess. I’ll set up game 51 in the morning. We can wait for Wiz if he happens to go early. It’s not like 1 extra day is going to hurt us.  Cards shown to you: Green (Wiz) has Thursday White (gmr) has Friday Peacock (odg) has Ballroom White (gmr) has Hall Green (Wiz) has Wrench () has Cards you have shown: Plum (bbb) was shown Monday Plum (bbb) was shown Kitchen Scarlet (OD) was shown Monday White (gmr) was shown Kitchen Green (Wiz) was shown Monday Peacock (odg) was shown Monday Scarlet (OD) was shown Tuesday Your cards in the order that they will be shown if there is more than one. If you have already shown a player a card, it will take priority. Kitchen Tuesday Wednesday Monday I’d like to point out that card order seems to be really important. I didn’t change them mid game, but you can. "...remind me of clue: Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with the candlestick."- Derek Morgan |

Seconded on both counts. It was a good struggle. Without the dummy players, we were forced to summon each other to rooms and sometimes that was an advantage and sometimes a PITA. Some interesting mistakes made, including by myself where I had marked miplet as holding conservatory. It was a real tough decision for me to not accuse as I was in 1 in 5 territory and after bbb's turn, could see the crescendo coming. |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5105 | Yeah, a fun game after all ... I was irritated at the phase where we all decided to ask Mustard practically the same suggestion, which I thought meant the game would be over soon. But a good game after all.
