Re: Wink Murder 4

You wouldn't guess me... Is it because of my immense hatred towards jU?


Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

And all that is left is an eerie sound of dust settling.

Re: Wink Murder 4

Work. We're really busy at the moment and I can't get on the internet at home as I'm really busy out of work as well. Fun, fun, fun!

Oh, BTW, my works website should be up soon. There's a picture of me doing the washing up, wearing rubber gloves.

Re: Wink Murder 4

I go outside of work for a break and get shot dead.

Sorry, just couldn't be asked to type.

I got winked by the murderer, however I have no idea who it is as I can't remember whose e-mail account it is. I got sent a list in the first or second murders.

A friend of mine went shopping and got shot.

He lived, luckily, but is now a little on edge whenever he shops.

Re: Wink Murder 4

So Suspect A is saying "It is either Suspect A or B".

If it is Suspect A, then Suspect A KNOWS it is themselves

If it is Suspect B, then Suspect A KNOWS it is Suspect B

So why is Suspect A asking ????

Re: Wink Murder 4

It was raining cats and dogs in Chennai yesterday evening. My murderer devised a novel method of eliminating me. He connected the water supply at my home to the power. When I opened the tap, I was hit by 230 Volts, enough to kill me!
Dead!

Now you know who the murderer is!

Hadn't Mathsyperson already guessed?

I was just thinking, do you think we need a 'murderer' image award, so once the murderer has been revealed we can leave it like that before we start the next game?

Re: Wink Murder 4

That would be cool. However, it might scare some guests away if one of us replies to the guestbook with "Murderer" underneath their name.

Well, we could make another name. Like 'winker'. Or... I don't know.

Re: Wink Murder 4

The winker doesn't always win though. They only win if no one else guesses!

Oh, and if anyone's interested, jU killed herself the second time as well.
Oh, and I'm not a fool either. I figured out that 'make 28' thing.

Re: Wink Murder 4

jU committed suicide twice? Does she know how to play?

Well maybe we can have a winner/winker image, a winner image (for the person who guesses correctly), and a winker/loser image. This might be going over the top though.
