I just opened your current thread(part 1). A short skim gave the impression of vast amounts of words and letters inside the rule book.

I don't think I can prevent the inevitable, but I don't think either are to blame. So Duke o' York because he is a hologram star.

Rules are very simple, actually. Don't be discouraged by their apparent length.

Excellent! We always need new blood in GO

New victims you mean?

But you know not that Viking blood runs through Nik's veins. Attack him and you will fail!

[Ljube]

The killer cannot be Basileus Nawivinat, therefore I'll go with Crystal Gonhu.

Just watch a game or two of GO before playing--the rules are fairly easy to pick up.

The update will be in about 16 hours...

[Skanky Burns]

Or just read through the previous games, and join the next one. You don't need to see them play out in real-time to get the gist of it.

Crystal Gonhu and Basileus Naviniwat are currently tied with 5 votes apiece. Though Lord Vetko and Crystal herself have yet to vote, I will preemptively make a coinflip so that it doesn't delay the game. Anyone can call heads or tails for either of the two candidates.

[civman2000]

I will update as soon as either someone who hasn't voted votes to break the tie or someone calls the coinflip.

Congratulations. The password is wimpyisnotslang and inside is a text file that says "heads lives".

Chapter 2: Let's start all over again, shall we, BOB?



The first advisor I contacted was Polly Siffan. She said: "Well, you know, Crystal Gonhu has always ha an affinity for, um, crystals...especially ice crystals. So since the murder weapon was an ice pick, my best guess is that it was her." Many of my other advisors agreed with this assessment. On the other hand, Barchild said: "How is it that your cousin Basileus knew about the murder so soon? I think he must have been involved." I found this analysis rather shallow, but to my shock, Min Grah said that the preliminary findings of his investigation supported the accusation. In the end, Basileus Naviniwat and Crystal Gonhu received the same number of votes.

What surprised me the most about the whole affair was that all of the names suggested by my advisors as possible culprits came from within the ranks of my own advisors. When I heard about the murder, my first thoughts were that some rogue like that commie spacescum Kit Chuss must have been responsible. I asked Professor Morissa about this, and she told me that the Galaxy was restless, and that many among the Galactic elite, especially among my own advisors, lusted for more power.

I still waited to hear from Lord Vetko and Crystal Gonhu herself. Finally, one evening after waiting about a week, I gave up waiting and, to break the tie between Crystal and Basileus, I flipped a coin. Basileus, who was visiting me at the time to argue his innocence, called "Heads" and was correct. I thus reluctantly ordered the execution of Crystal Gonhu at dawn the next morning. That night, I hoped, I would play 56 games of Solitaire on my Galacticrosoft computer to calm my nerves, and go to bed in peace. Alas, that was not to be. I played my Solitaire, but right before I went to bed, I received a call from Min Grah:

"Your Highness, I hate to have to inform you that there has been another murder, a murder of one of your friends."

"What? Who? How? Why?" I demanded in shock.

"Sir, Zol Ventis was found dead in his home a few hours ago. We believe he was Lazorgun-whipped to death by an assassin. We captured the assassin, but he refused to tell us anything, even under torture. I'll keep you updated as we find out more."

My spirits crushed, I then went to sleep. However, I did not sleep calmly or for very long. I woke up early in the morning because of a rather pungent smell, one that reminded me of a wet Jebus sloth. I called in the Palace Guards, and they said there had been an accident in the kitchen, and that the smell would go away soon. Nevertheless, I was quite unhappy with the situation.

I was about to go back to sleep when Min Grah called again.

"Sire, I have some very interesting evidence related to both of the murders. First, among Ventis's possessions, we found a receipt from Icepicks-R-Us and blueprints of the Colony I central complex."

"Do you mean to say that Ventis killed Colony I?" I asked.

"Yes, I am afraid so. The evidence is very strong. Now what is even more interesting is this: implanted in Zol Ventis's body we found a hand-written note, presumably from the person who employed the assassin. I'm hyperfaxing you a copy right now."

A servant then came in and brought me a copy of the note. It read:

HaHaHa, Colony I is avenged! No more evil murders for the evil plotter that is the e-Ventis! No, I'm not going to tell you who I am. At least, not openly; that WoUlD SpOiL the fun. But _hidden_ inside THIS MES--SAGE is a clue to my identity, if you're clever enought to Unearth it.

Then I suddenly realized that I had ordered Crystal Gonhu to be executed for Colony I's murder. I quickly called the local authorities to cancel the execution order, but it was too late. Crystal Gonhu was dead, and there was another killer who had killed Zol Ventis on the loose. Once again, I turned to my advisors to solve the mystery...

Hmmm...maybe I put in too many red herrings and you'll never be able to spot the clues...
