This is the second thread, and we're not even half-way through the game. The deaths are piling up, but the clues do not appear to be. :confused:

I'm rather at a loss as to why I am a suspect, but I suppose that is to be accepted in the company of such naturally, highly suspicious people.
The clues rather obviously point to HongHu. Too obviously, I think. A playing card--the Queen of Spades, no less--with "To Peg" (a woman's name) written on it. Seems like an obvious frame-up.
The question becomes, who else could these clues implicate?
Zopperoni, the deck hand (a subtle, but obvious, playing card reference). Moreover, as the deck hand, he would have intimate knowledge as to the location of ropes and pegs around the ship, facilitating his murderous impulses.
Q.E.D.
EDIT: From a strategy standpoint, I should vote Rah for a counter-pile, but I think the Zopperoni evidence is simply too strong. Rah is an innocent man, as am I.

Why change my vote now? Zopperoni
GeoModder
May 25, 2004, 10:25
Yes, that deckhand is really getting lazy at his work. Also, clues like '26' and pulling in 'his' valuable rope in last story make me very suspicious of <b>Zopperoni's</b> use on the barge.

Well Skanky must be awfully happy now that everybody's forgotten about him. Not to mention that joncha voted for him the last round too.

Yeah yeah, "just looked might suspicious" you say? You can't even talk right. You sure you are not too old for thinking right? ;) Hear me, just for you dear old man.
"not" can't be edited out. But it's a hush-hush.
/me pats Jamski's back.
It's ok. Look somewhere else please. :)

Exhibit B.
A little too quick Bob. In Exhibit A that Theben presented, ljubetko pointed out that Skanky would kill Kass because Kass voted for Skanky. And as Theben correctly implied, that way tko was setting up for his kill if tko was indeed the mafia because he would then be able to blame it on you.
Now don't you think you are making yourself mighty suspicious before anybody other than yourself pointing out my possible death? Who are you going to blame now after you murder me?

A little too quick Bob. In Exhibit A that Theben presented, ljubetko pointed out that Skanky would kill Kass because Kass voted for Skanky. And as Theben correctly implied, that way tko was setting up for his kill if tko was indeed the mafia because he would then be able to blame it on you.
Now don't you think you are making yourself mighty suspicious before anybody other than yourself pointing out my possible death? Who are you going to blame now after you murder me?
He was setting up the kill for the mafia. If the mafia happened to have killed Kassi that turn then it would have implied that I was the mafia. Likewise, you just set yourself up to be killed by the mafia as the blame will point away from them and towards me.

Sure I know I will likely be killed by the mafia. That's why I pointed him out before I get ready to die. :p
Theben

What he's saying is that you've greatly increased the likeihood of death coming for you by posting that. You're not the only one to vote for Skanky anyway.
Skanky Burns
May 26, 2004, 00:40
And the whole premise is flawed anyway! :p
Tuberski
May 26, 2004, 00:44
Yes it is.
If she is killed by the mafia you can pretty much guarantee that Skanky isn't the mafia.
So clearly we shouldn't and will vote for Skanky.
However, knowing this, Skanky may very well know that this is obvious, and kill her to throw off suspicion.
So clearly, we should vote for Skanky.
:p ACK!

Ok let's say that I know I will be very likely to be killed by the mafia by posting that, but I still bravely pointed him out. You know why? Because my blood is still young and hot, unlike some of your old detectives, who forgets quick and can't live without alcohol. :nono:

Chapter Five – Not waving, but drowning
After another terrible murder, the remaining passengers and crew aboard the Apolyton gathered in the dining room to hear the results of the voting from the Captain. Many people gave meaningful stares in the direction of the deck hand Zopperoni al-Collina, but Inspecteur Maigret and Jim Rockford were not above suspicion either. Block voting was already common, and several cliques had been established, but this made little odds this time as everyone rushed to pin the blame on the unfortunate deck hand Zopperoni al-Collina.
He was amazed that they could have all suspected him of the gruesome murders, and started to protest that he had too much work to do to be put to death: “but I’ve just got one more thing to……”. Despite the protection offered by his fez, silence came in the form of a brown handbag that matched the shoes of its wielder, and the crowd closed in to finish him off. Geomodder was most put out when the Captain made him dispose of the body of his deck hand, and more so when he realised that he would have to take all of Zopperoni’s duties until they arrived in Luxor. Perhaps he had not voted in the wisest manner possible after all….
The passengers settled down again, relieved that their ordeal at the hands of the wicked Zopperoni had come to an end. Theben strolled around the deck with Miss Marple, whistling cheerfully and even going so far as to listen to a couple of her tedious stories. Bulldog Drummond took his place between Jim Rockford and the Duc de Pavelles on the sundeck, deckchairs strategically turned towards the washerwomen on the bank. Columbo and Derrick watched HongHu play the Earl of Octavian and Inspector Morse at Ugly, although she gave it a Chinese name they didn’t understand so that they wouldn’t take offence. HongHu began to think that if her parents were going to marry her off to an old man back in China, then she could do worse that to marry Mr Wallingford, a decidedly rich old man. But then, looking at Mr Wallingford, this foolish notion quickly left her, and she concentrated on thrashing the two Europeans at cards. Before dinner, everybody returned to their cabins to get some rest and to prepare for dinner, and Geomodder to apply some plasters to the blisters he had developed doing Zopperoni’s work. He realised that by proving himself to be resourceful, he might make a good impression with the shipping company, and maybe get a captaincy of his own, but for the time being resourcefulness was proving to be painful.
Discovering that one of the chairs at dinner was empty, the Captain sent the hapless Geomodder to find who was missing. Passing the open door of cabin number 12, he saw Chaunk under his bed, with a utility screwdriver in his mouth. He had 26 cross-shaped holes and 37 straight holes in his chest. Two screws fixed his right index finger to the floor of his cabin, and a napkin from the dining room was wedged into his mouth so that none of the other passengers could have heard him scream. This new murder shocked those aboard, as they had been so glad that the threat of Zopperoni had been eliminated and were not suspecting that they might not have caught the evil mafia. They repaired to Skanky’s bar to mull over the events, and to drown their despair with more booze and expensive tobacco from the Captain’s own private store. The remaining crew members were most grateful that the Captain had allowed them access to this fabled stash, and puffed away merrily on the ship’s hookah.
Inspector Maigret was sitting on a bar stool enjoying a pastis before his delayed dinner when he noticed a card on the bar. He went to return it to HongHu, who told him that it was not from one of her decks, and it didn’t look like it was from the ship. Looking at it more closely, it bore a picture of what looked like a small ugly man sitting atop a pile of gold. He scratched his head and passed this oddity around the other detectives for inspection.
After dinner, the Captain announced that another vote would have to take place before breakfast the following morning, and that he advised them all to get a good night’s sleep to clear their heads and let them concentrate on the clues.

It was on the bar, not the table.
Sorry, I was having a diabetic "spell" when I wrote the latest chapter this morning, and made some blunders (like not putting "that the murderer had left for him to find" after that clue), but didn't want to go back and edit the text because then you'd all accuse me of cheating. Not that you're doing that well with the clues anyway. :cute:

The key here seems to be screwdrivers. A screwdriver was found in Chaunk's mouth. The injuries could have been made by screwdrivers, of both the cross-head and the flat-head varieties. And, screws had been driven into his index finger.
Of course, a screwdriver is not just a tool, it's also a cocktail. And that would point to the barkeeper Skanky, of course.

Well I'm very grateful that Skanky didn't kill me, and killed Chaunk who also voted for him last time. However I'm starting to believe in his innocence, and starting to suspect one other man who has been so clever to divert attentions from him so far. Just look what he has been doing. Quick in throwing all kinds of different unnoticeable accusations toward different people, so that people do not notice his opinions at all. And appeared to be trying to protect Skanky, while brutally framing Skanky by killing the people who voted him. And what's more, if you look at the clues that we claim that point to Skanky, you'd suddenly realize that they could also point to one more person.
I have written your name and put it under my pillow. This is how one gets herself killed everytime, isn't it? Yeah, wait a while. When others are not suspectful of you and starting to forget what I said, come and kill me and get the note from under my pillow. But is it really under my pillow?

I think the mafia is probably very frustrated at this point. All these kills to try and frame me and they have yet to succeed in offing me. I am grateful that they have been killing people that voted for me though, it ironically helped me stay alive up until this point.
A load of Yum?

What an awkward sentence. "having to wish" and "wish for working". Hmmm ... Oberinspektor Derrick is really getting old.

It's Pave Discovering that one of the chairs at dinner was empty, the Captain sent the hapless Geomodder to find who was missing. Passing the open door of cabin number 12, he saw Chaunk under his bed, with a utility screwdriver in his mouth. He had 26 cross-shaped holes and 37 straight holes in his chest.
37-26+12=23 The number Pave is registered on the voting :)

Except the 26 holes were made with the cross (plus) shaped screwdriver, and the 37 holes were made with the straight (minus) shaped screwdriver. 12+26-37=1.

Chapter Six – DeNile knowledge
As the numbers dwindled even further aboard the Apolyton, everybody began to think really hard about the clues that the careless killers had left behind them. When this didn’t get them anywhere, they just went back to their <strike>effective</strike> tried and trusted system of block voting. It did not take long for enough votes to be cast to consign yet another traveller to the bottom of the Nile, and the Captain announced that the mafia was Skanky. The now-traditional brown leather handbag descended with dizzying speed, and before long the unfortunate barman had descended into the Nile, aided on his way by the careful attention of Geomodder.
The Captain didn’t take long to decide that perhaps Jonny was not the best person to take over the duties at the bar, and so he appointed his purser as the new barman. Secretly he hoped that the losses to spillage would be reduced, as there was no chance of a good Muslim necking the rest of the bottle after pouring a single glass of wine.
Geomodder was relieved to hear that his workload would not be further increased as a result of Skanky’s death, and immediately set to work writing out his CV in the hope of getting a sinecure on a Mediterranean cruise or something, anything better than the hunk o’ junk Apolyton. The passengers enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, sad that they had lost their barman, but pleased that the shadow of the mafia would no longer be cast upon the ship.
During the day, the noble pairing of the Earl of Octavian and the Duc de Pavelles make their debut on the tennis court against Tubbs and Jim Rockford. Inspector Morse took over the umpiring duties, and Miss Marple fell asleep in a deck chair while watching the “action”. Theben and HongHu took their card games outside, but the wind was too strong, and so they gave up after a while and returned to the empty bar. Without Skanky and Rasputin, it was far too quiet in the bar. With the suspicion that either of them could be the mafia then it was very quiet in the bar, with neither wanting to say anything that might make the other select them as a victim.
The day passed peacefully, and despite the irritating quacking of the duck perched atop the wheelroom, they were much refreshed when they went back to their quarters to prepare for dinner.
As he arrived in the dining room, Columbo felt the ship lurch to the left, a movement that nearly threw him to the floor. Other passengers started, and they raced to the wheelroom to see what had happened to the Captain’s trusty “steering aid”. Upon arrival, they could see that the trusty steering aid still had one end tied to the wheel, but that the other end was around the neck of Nuclear Master, whose body hung over the side of the ship. It took Bulldog Drummond, Jonny and Derrick to hold the rope steady while Geomodder cut it away from the wheel and put the Apolyton back on course. They dragged up the body of the strangled captain, but could tell nothing from it, and soon released the rope.
“Poetic, almost, that the good captain has been buried in the river upon which he made his living,” said Miss Marple, but none of the others were thinking about poetry at that time. As they made their way back into the dining room to discuss the latest killing, Pave knocked over a bottle on the floor of the wheelhouse. He picked it up to examine, and it proved to be a bottle of White Horse Scottish Whisky. It was inconceivable that the Captain had been drinking it, and the barman was no longer aboard, so who could have left it there? The murderer?
Taking to his new responsibilities like a duke to water, Geomodder called everybody together and instigated another vote. They would have until the morning to mull over the incidents of the day and then return their separate verdicts on the likely identity of the killer.

Googling I found this tidbit:
"My comment: As for white horse as medicine, there is or was a whisky by that name. which is probably more effective. To this discussion, Ron Bracewell adds this scholarly note: "Who was Eric the Green?" Answer: a Norse of a different color". This is a cockney joke, with a silent h in horse."
Who here is a norseman*?
*- There were other things, such as White Horse being a cricket term, so take this for what it's worth.

Should we follow the good -tko's advise again and vote for the other mafia who is posed to strike? If I don't start the initiative, it is likely it will be my turn the next night to die. Hard as he may try, when it is a must he would have to choose to protect himself rather than protect me.
Of course now you all should know who I'm going to vote. All the clues that pointed to Skanky could have been pointing to Jamski instead.
We've successfully reduced the suspects of the +1 mafia by voting off three new deities. If we let the last one go and later found out that he's the man that has so much blood on his hand, would we regret it?
Rah is also a deity I believe, however he is not a new deity. Plus if he were the mafia he wouldn't have let me live this long.

Any grudge that I develop is usually quite short lived.
And since you've stopped proclaiming me as the Mafia early every game, I would not feel the need to take you out early either. But, I probably would have by now. ;)
The numbers in the thread are important, but we need to find the right combination. Or the jest is great.

As I said, whatever clue that convicted Skanky would fit you beautifully. :p
And rah, good to know that you now do not feel the need to take me out early. I mean who knows if you are not the brown cloak mafia. You play tennis right? And I seem to remember there is a clue about tennis ball or something earlier ...
No, I haven't played tennis in over 25 years. Now if it was a golf clue. ;)

You say that as though they need clues that point to you. With enough imagination, they could get the clues to point to anyone. Phillips head screwdrivers as mathamatical symbols relating to numbers of stabs to point to a single person in the list? Yeah, thats no stretch at all. :rolleyes: :D

Well geez, that makes it real difficult for him to be the mafia then. If I could then....Jon Miller the other English tennis player at the beginning

Pretty conclusive I'd have thought. Not a full turn-out this time. Voter apathy?

Chapter Seven – Join the Docnile!
As the Apolyton drifted slowly upstream past the Temple of Tiamat, only just moving quicker than the current of the river despite Geomodder’s best efforts to get the journey over with as soon as possible, everybody aboard gathered in the dining room to hold the latest vote. Tensions were running high again, and few of them had had much sleep, despite the welcome assistance of gjramsey’s discounted drinks – on the basis that he was still training and yet to match Skanky’s level of perfection. After the first two, he could have been serving alcoholic Nilus water for all the passengers cared.
The vote was the closest since Dr Watson had met his untimely end, and both Inspector Morse and the Duc de Pavelles considered themselves fortunate not to have garnered enough votes to see them overboard. Many of the passengers had slept in, and were not present to vote, but this may have cast more suspicion on them than they might have liked. Perhaps it would have been wiser for them to have attended the vote, lest they found themselves on the wrong end of a future block vote as a result of their suspicious behaviour and inability to handle their drink.
Geomodder enjoyed the silence that fell upon the company as he cleared his throat to announce the results of the poll. The old German detective Derrick <strike>won</strike> lost the election, and as Jamski pleaded with his fellow passengers not to allow him the same fate as so many of those who had started the cruise, his ugly mug was made even more so by a violent collision with a brown leather heandbag.
Geomodder now had nobody to order to throw the body into the Nile, and so had to do it himself. With this formality out of the way, everyone sat down to a hearty breakfast.
The day was mostly spent lounging around the decks enjoying the sunshine. At the third time of asking, Jim Rockford eventually agreed to put his shirt back on, but everybody had already seen too much by then. The tennis match was even more laboured than it had been before, as the sun was beating down and proving m ore of a match than either set of doubles. Miss Marple fell asleep under her straw sunhat, and although HongHu considered revealing her new bikini, the presence nearby of the randy Theben Wallingford made her think better of it. She was certainly getting a kind of education, but maybe not that her finishing school had prepared her for, or her parents thought they were funding.
The ship passed an obelisk standing proud in the desert sands, and this elicited a few lewd remarks from the gentlemen aboard, which fortunately were out of Miss Marple’s hearing. As the sun began to set over the west bank of the Nile, the party retired to prepare for dinner.
On his way from his cabin to the dining room, the Earl of Octavian passed the open door of cabin number 4. Inside he saw the horrific sight of Tuberski with his throat cut. He had been stabbed 101 times with a large broken piece of what looked to be a detective’s magnifying glass. Whether the detective to whom this glass once belonged knew of its fate was unclear. Further examination by the others, who had not taken long to arrive revealed that his left pinkie toe had been severed and could not be found inside the cabin.
As they were all returning to the dining room for another disconsolate meal, Miss Marple noticed a piece of paper on the floor. It was an unusual shape, like an almond, or a teardrop, and had a large black mark right at the very edge on the left hand side, about a third of the way up. This clue certainly gave the detectives, and the other surviving members of the company, something to think about over dinner.
Geomodder called for a new vote in the morning, and sounded frustrated that so little progress was being made despite the crack team he had aboard.
24 (or so) hours to vote!
Yes, this does mean that I’ll be online tomorrow – hopefully in the morning to keep the game going. There have to be certain advantages to the duchess’ going away.
I apologise that I can’t draw you a picture of the piece of paper found in cabin 4, but if someone can do a little image from the description that’s be nice. :)

Ok, here're all the clues and their founders.
Clue 1: Jim Rockford
a piece of paper from under the bed. it had been ripped, but on the fragment that remained could be made out three words:
coming to
Olympic
Clue 2: Earl of Octavian
some wisps of a thin brown material in a pile on the deck
Clue 3: the ship’s purser
a wet tennis ball
Clue 4: Zopp
a very damp piece of card of a faded Queen of Spades, with “to Peg” written in the top corner.
Now what do them mean, I have no idea.
Clue 5: Inspector Maigret
a card that didn’t look like it was from the ship. It bore a picture of what looked like a small ugly man sitting atop a pile of gold.
Clue 6: Pave
a bottle of White Horse Scottish Whisky
Clue 7: Miss Marple
a piece of paper on the floor. It was an unusual shape, like an almond, or a teardrop, and had a large black mark right at the very edge on the left hand side, about a third of the way up.
Snowflake
May 28, 2004, 17:49
The only thing I can see the connection, is that Mr Jim Rockford seems to like playing tennis. And so in view of the wet tennis ball clue, I'm going to vote for rah.

Remember kids, if tempted by strange men with bow ties and very short hair, then just say No! It may seem like a good idea at the time, and it tastes just fine going down, but the next morning is where the real pain begins. Ouch.

I wouldn't say I know more, but I believe we should pay attention to the numbers. There has to be a trend of some kind there, and that trend ought to be showing up now that we have more and more numbers coming along. It'd be criminally negligent of the GM if the numbers turned out to be meaningless.

My email is overflowing with offers to increase my penis size. Like I really need that.
Anyway, I think Pave is a pretty good bet for the Mafia, though I'm not entirely sure what to make of 101.
Missed my vote for Pave too.

I said "Mr Jim Rockford seems to like playing tennis". Talk to the good duck if you have to complain. :p

Er yes. :cute:
Sorry for the absence since Saturday, but the bank holiday was lovely in Leeds, and all my washing dried perfectly. :)
I'll have a look at the votes, and then write the next section up this morning. Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I have work things to do as well after having yesterday off. :rolleyes:
Thanks for being so understanding all, and thanks to Chaunk for explaining the * mystery. :D:b:

Perhaps fortunately for the continuation of the game, Pave will be next to take elementary unconscious Nile swimming lessons under the auspices of Geomodder. He hasn't voted again, and didn't vote last time either, which meant that another no-show would give him automatic rights to a mafia killing of his choice. Still, that doesn't matter any more. :)
Write-up coming soon (when I've finished it ;)).

Chapter Eight – Nile take the high road
The next round of voting took ages, as the duck had temporarily disappeared from the top of the wheelroom, and the passengers searched in vain for him until he was discovered beneath the bar. Somehow it just wouldn’t have been right to have voted without the duck there to guide them.
When the votes had all been cast (save for the Duc de Pavelles, who was still asleep in the corner), Geomodder made gjramsey count them twice to ensure that everything was above board and that they were certain that the Duc de Pavelles was the guilty man, feigning sleep in order to murder the innocent passengers. Although he was already unconscious, and there wasn’t really any need to beat him around the head to make his swimming more of a challenge, no-one was prepared to tell Miss Marple that, and so the handbag descended again, in what was now something of a tradition aboard the Apolyton. As Pave was no longer a threat to the well-being of the passengers and crew, they settled down to eat with a relish (a special barbecue sauce Jim Rockford had brought with him – “If that doesn’t kill the bugs in any food then nothing will”).
Despite the fact that the murderer had left what appeared to be a tennis ball outside the cabin of his victim and many people were now suspicious of the tennis players, the game went ahead regardless, but the crowd and choice of potential players had thinned significantly. This meant that HongHu, not previously invited to play by the macho types aboard, at last got the opportunity to show her skills and to comprehensively wipe the floor with her opponents. Admittedly, the game was delayed for five minutes as she had to return to her cabin and change from her tennis skirt into a pair of shorts in a fruitless attempt to deter Theben from standing directly behind her end of the court and distracting the opposition.
While the match was being played, Miss Marple and gjramsey toured the deck; he quizzing her about other cruise trips she had taken in the hope of finding out more about his future job prospects, and she glad for someone to talk with, very protective of her handbag and careful to tidy away any loose ropes around the sides of the ship, mindful that someone might fall over them. Their stroll was cut short by the return of the tennis players. Without Zopperoni to row and fetch their balls out of the river, they had eventually run out, and were now wandering around at a loss for an activity. They all went up to the wheelroom to have a go at steering the ship, and to admire the new steering rope that Geomodder had put up to ensure that he need not miss dinner.
The mention of dinner made everyone hungry and so they returned to their cabins to prepare.
When the first guests arrived in the dining room, Geomodder knew that it made sense to tour all of the cabins and ensure that their occupants were safely in the dining room and that his dinner would not be any further delayed by someone wanting to imitate the actions of the wicked Duc. Passing cabin number 1, the largest suite aboard the Apolyton, he saw that the door had been carelessly left open, but that no-one was inside. Closing the door and remembering to warn the occupant to take more careful safety measures in future, he turned around and saw Theben Wallingford’s body hanging over the rail of the ship on a sturdy length of rope. He had been strangled by the rope, and when the other passengers helped the captain to haul him in they discovered something most unusual. The billionaire had a string of jewels around his neck, but none that any of the passengers had seen their fellow travellers wearing before. This caused much confusion among those aboard, and after dinner the captain gave the usual call to cast votes for the mafia before breakfast the next morning.

I know that Guynemer is having trouble getting a connection, but he's sent me a list of votes so he's all right. HongHu generally arrives about now too, so I could let her off for not having voted so far, but ADG has been posting in other threads. :hmmm:

Let the records show I actually voted for Pave last round.
Guynemer
June 1, 2004, 10:22
I do hate to vote for such an enchanting creature, but I am forced to agree with my colleague, Mr. Rockford. HongHu has indeed been acting suspiciously. In addition, we can no longer ignore the playing cards often found at the scene of the murders; perhaps this is not an intended frame-up at all, but for once the obvious clues are in fact accurate.
Moreover, a string of jewels found on Wallingford's body would seem to indicate that the murderer is a nobleman or noblewoman. That is indeed a rapidly disappearing species onboard our ship, HongHu and Octavian the only remaining aristocrats.
Though we should be on our toes for clues implicating Octavian--in particular, if those numerical clues could somehow solve to 8 or 80 or something of that nature...

I did so much work, actually trying to figure out who is the madman. If I were the mafia I would have simply gone with the docpile wouldn't I? People people, use your head please. :shame: Most importantly, if I were the mafia, would rah still be alive now? Think think think ...
I'll vote later. I need to think too.

Not really... the second time I was the mafia I was the one who started the docpiling most of the time... and I lasted until the two remaining people voted for me :mad: ;)
HongHu.
After all, this is the 19th Mafia, and HongHu is number 19 on the list. Perhaps we have overlooked the most important number of them all in all the talk about numbers...

One more vote is all that's required to put poor HongHu to the bottom of the river. Or will the gentlemen come to save her? :cute:

Miss Marple is too protective about her handbag in my opinion. And besides killing quite some passengers and crewmembers in a hidden way, she has to much fun in openly bagging the voted ones... Begone with that <b>Kassi</b>, as the Finns say.

Darn! I was rooting for the Mafia, and it sounds like Theben Wallingford III was the numeric killer, getting his "jollies."
Anyway, why hasn't the Mafia killed Miss Marple yet? Without an executioner, the Mafia would be invicinible! Clearly the only possible solution is that Miss Marple IS the Mafia, isn't that right, Kassiopeia? (Ghosts get italic votes!)

I'd like your reasoning if it wasn't so outrightly stupid. Another one would simply take my place and the circle would continue.

/me throws her hands in the air, or her wings, any way.
Alright alright I give up. I did it. But I was not responsible for it. Have you heard of MPS? Yes multiple personality sydrome, not Miss Purple Shoes silly. Yep one of my alters killed those silly ones using random number of cuts, and the other alter killed the other silly ones using a rope of some sort. She must be really energetic and powerful too, since some of the silly ones are really strong. Can't believe she could actually throw a body over board, perhaps she has an accomplice too. But now that you've killed her, you can never find out what happened (and what is gonna happen) ... :evilgrin:

Well she didn't need to vote because it wouldn't have made any difference. No more card games then. Poor old HongHu. Despite my saying that the necklace was not one that any of the passengers had been seen wearing in the hope that she wouldn't be docpiled immediately as the most obvious person to own a necklace, HongHu was docpiled anyway. :rolleyes:

Chapter Nine – Nile be there for you
Once the votes had been counted by gjramsey, and again by the new captain, just to make sure, as he claimed, then it was announced that the passengers suspected the beautiful HongHu of being the mafia. Despite the fact that almost everyone had voted for her, they were still shocked at this turn of events, and it was with a heavy heart that Miss Marple picked up her handbag. Being considerably younger than the others aboard, HongHu was quick enough to duck the first swing of the handbag, but the return swipe caught her unawares, and the Captain was soon carrying her to the rail to deposit her in the river.
There was a much darker mood aboard the Apolyton that day, with nobody in the mood to play tennis (the fact that they were running out of fit people to play was another major problem, as was the fact that they could only play with apples from the galley), but when Inspector Morse picked up a pack of cards then the tough Bulldog Drummond burst into tears at the thought of their lost friend.
Jonny spent much of the afternoon composing a message to his superiors in the Liechtenstein secret service, and after only two hours he was happy with it. He felt certain that they would be delighted that the security threat of the dangerous Russian monk had been nullified, and picked up Geomodder’s semaphore flags to send his message to the agent following the boat on horseback. Unfortunately for the agent on the river bank, Jonny must have been dozing when he took the lesson in semaphore at the Valduz spy school, and his carefully-worded message came out rather differently to what he had intended: “The doctor is in the cablecar. Pepperoni with extra chillies. Liverpool Street, Tooting Broadway, Mornington Crescent. My wife wants to play hook a duck at 1€ a turn”. If this was in code then the agent had no idea what he was on about, but decided to take it back to his base and wire it to Valduz anyway, in the hope that the experts could decipher it.
Arriving in the dining room at the usual time, the Captain saw that only Miss Marple, the Earl of Octavian and Columbo were ready for dinner. Greeting them, he remembered that he hadn’t taken his customary check of the cabins. Taking them with him, he toured the ship in customary fashion, ensuring that all of the cabins were securely locked and that all of their occupants were ready for dinner.
Outside cabin number 3, he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, inside the cabin of Inspector Morse was the body of ADG. He had been stabbed 68 times with what looked to be an ornate silver fork. The fork had been left jabbed in the unfortunate inspector’s stomach. Examining the murder weapon, Jim Rockford announced that it appeared to be the fork equivalent of an apostle spoon, but it was so old that it was difficult to make out what was on it. M. Maigret wondered where the other eleven might be, if indeed it was what it appeared to be.
Mulling over these new developments, the party returned to the dining room and had a dispirited meal. Geomodder asked that their votes be cast before breakfast as usual, and they all went to gjramsey’s bar to drown their sorrows in booze, while the Captain smothered his sorrows in sweet-smelling tobacco.

Most puzzling.
I'm beginning to wonder if the numbers have any meaning at all, and rather if the weapons' ultimate resting place (throat, eye, stomach... what else was there?) is the key to these stabbings.
An interesting theory, but I can't seem to make it fit.
I must admit that I have been suspicious of Jonny for a few days; it is hard to believe that such a dignified and learned country as Liechtenstein would have such an utter halfwit as a secret agent. Either he is intentionally acting foolish to make us not suspect him, and Liechtenstein has ordered the death of us all, or his whole cover story is a fake, and he's just blooming mad.

I just can't see Marple being strong enough to accomplish either of these types of murders. HongHu at least had youth and agility on her side.
Snowflake

/me looks down to Ship Apolyton from heaven with pity.
Hmmm I wonder if there is still anybody who has not been suspected ... The one whose name starts with a G perhaps ...
Obviously, I'm too incompetent to commit murder with ornate cutlery, so I'm not the killer. I think it is the quite unnoticed Chief Inspector Maigret, aka Guynemer. After all, if he really is an inspector, surely he would have already identified the killers?
