Clue Game 2

Looks to me as if Mustard is the only one in a position to make an accusation who hasn't declared before you.

That's assuming Scarlet waived her chance at an accusation by moving out to the hallway. Is that a hard-and-fast rule at this point, that a hallway move voids your accusation rights?

Yes. Moving to outside of a room means no accusation for you. You can't gain additional info by just moving, so you should have made an accusation without the pointless move.

Okay I think it is my turn and I move into the study to suggest Mustard, rope, in Study.

Mrs. Peacock disproves this. PM's sent.

My move. EDIT: Mrs. Peacock leaves the Study and goes to the entrance of the Library (pink sq). (see below)

Getting into a slightly grey area IMO, because of the lag. It's very possible that, if you want a person to take their turn while waiting for an accusation or denial of the accusation, I think you need to protect them from being cut out this way. In my particular position at the moment, both Mustard and White (edit: and Green) could make an accusation. Should any do so, what they've said if they're wrong is going to give information to other people, including me. (if any is right, then it's moot). But if I'm close, too, it's likely I'll know some part or all of why they're wrong, and they could give me the info I need by being wrong.

So I'm in a room I don't want to be in, but I don't want to forfeit my chance to accuse on my turn if I learn something from them. I also don't want to hold up the game, but I'm kind of frozen there because I'm forfeiting my right to accuse by moving.

So, I'm retracting my move statement above, and standing in the study pending declarations or accusations from Mustard and White and Green.

I'm at work so I can't make a detailed response. If someone before you makes a failed accusation then you will have new info and can make one yourself.

That works for me, thanks. I will move to the hallway in front of the Library.

After this game is over, we should have a discussion on this matter.

Strategy wise, it is better to delay your accusation. ON the other hand I thought of a fiendish counter i.e, let people delay their accusation if they wish, but only as long as no one after them decides to make an accusation. In other words, if BBB made an accusation, Mustard, White and Green all forfeit their accusation until their next actual turn.

That makes it very risky to try to gain information that way.

Anyway, I'm fine with what BBB is doing for the moment as that works -- just waiting for the others to catch up.

I'd like to make an accusation when I can do so.

OK, but that is non-binding. You could change your mind. And I have to say that is quite a change from your prior comment!

Ummm, you can as soon as Wizard declares on his option, or it expires. If he takes his option and makes an accusation, and does not win, you will have to wait for me and BBB too, to make our accusations [or not]

PS: the time and date stamp on the disproof to Wizard's last suggestion was January 21, 2016 4:53 pm [west coast time], so he has until today at the same time

Col. Mustard does not wish to make an accusation.
