In a Shocking turn of events, the player known to the rest simply as Majestik was silenced by the killer. Authorities are unsure if the killer(s) just wanted to shut up the prolific poster or just....wait. Wrong guy.

Maj is dead. Victim of an elaborate trap involving 500 jellyfish, a clownfish and the EAC...dude. Who could have contrived such a cunning end? Who cares. Point fingers at your friends. Vote for your dad. And heat up the Linwood MEmorial Coal Burning oven!!!! yeeeehaaaa.

<<----"the clue is: C"

i'm not gonna vote for my dad this time, i swear!

The Piston word almost has to be "Wallace" or "Campbell" (Elden) as you pointed out last round.

I'll do an update of the cast of characters in a minute and then do some sleuthing.

Our dwindling Cast of Characters

1. Slippy the puppeteer( It's all HIS fault!)

18.Dumars
19.Warthog
20.Maverick<----------------------------Murder victim #2
21. Hack

well if it is one of the two, then it will be for sure by the next murder which it actually is.

I'm so happy that the oven is named after me!

That's true, but as I understand it, the murderer might be using the two basketball words without using the Pistons word--in that case, the A L L E C could be in a non-Pistons, non-Basketball word, such as "challenge."

nope. letters define the pistons word only.

__________________

No. Theoretically, the murderer doesn't even have to use those letters anywhere in his entire post. BUT...those letters are part of the Pistons word.

So he has a choice of using two of three words in any given murder post. He can change words with different murders. If he uses the Piston word in a murder post, THAT Pistons word has the letters A L L E C in them.

So if our murderer used a Piston word as one of the two (of 3 possible) then it MUST have those letters.

So if his words are hoop, rim ,and Wallace he can use:

Wallace and hoop for one murder

rim and hoop for the next

Wallace and EITHER hoop or rim for the next. Or hoop and rim again, etc.

Any combination is acceptable.

So our clue is that the Piston word has certain letters. It's not much to go on.
