i know what you mean. it's quiet in here.

too quiet.

(though i still don't know if i'm more nervous about getting killed or being designated as a murderer).

It's somewhat comforting to know that I'm not the only one hearing (imaginary?) footsteps behind me.

Every time I come on the forum I hold my breath wondering if the killer has struck? Hoping I am not the victim. Wondering which friend will be murdered first. Which friends are murderers? Is it somebody I've confided in? Who can I trust?

This game is driving me nuts!

DAMNIT SLIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, spooky. I'm pacing around the forum checking the locks, latching the windows, wandering in and out of threads and hearing suspicious sounds. I'm jumpy and irritable and I keep checking the new posts just waiting ... waiting... waiting...

In the first Murder game, I was an innocent who was the first wrongfully accused and hung. So I'm more scared of being hung again or something even more gruesome, like burning at the stake.

The lynch mob is the truly terrifying aspect of the game. The murderer can kill you with a post before you even feel it. But public execution, the horror, the horror.

i read the rules. and i wept.

Quick question...does the immunity word have to be basketball related?

it is.

the immunity word is chosen from a list of words which are all basketball related. If you typ the immunity word in a post between now and the end of the round, you stave off death.

So if you post a lot of basketball related stuff, your chances of using the word increases.

Yeah, but now you are a prime suspect Jammer.

Hmmmmmmmm.

The rules state that the immunity word must be written, not quoted, so I won't bother to plagiarize jammer's rather impressive list. Instead, here are a few basketball-related words and phrases of my own. I'm sure the immunity word is in here somewhere.
