The Forum must act swiftly to deal with the murderer responsible for Roscoe36's demise. Decide who the group will hang. Hanging will be executed Saturday night/ Sunday Morning

Alright. I know I'm gonna get blamed for this, because I get blamed for everything, but I didn't do it.

(1) I planned to knock off Linwood first.:laugh:

(2) I wouldn't kill roscoe yet because he is sending me a tee shirt in the mail and I'd keep him alive until I get it.:nod::D

But I've already got a gut on the murderer. The murderer is bright. They know roscoe knows the forum and posters like the back of his hand. He would have pointed the finger quickly and solved the crime. The perfect person to murder quickly was roscoe. Was it perhaps somebody who was jealous and wants to take over the forum? ***gazes suspiciously at The Low***:spy:

Oh yeah, :rip: roscoe.

I didn't see any posts within 24 hours with his name in it. Did anyone see any?

Slippy, I told ya I wasn't getting killed first!!!! :P

29 views and no poll votes cast. Maybe it was a suicide? :ohwell:

...The perfect person to murder quickly was roscoe. Was it perhaps somebody who was jealous and wants to take over the forum? ***gazes suspiciously at The Low***:spy:...

Are you kidding me??? Do you have any idea what that guy has to do to keep this place running efficiently....I wouldn't wish that one someone I didn't like....let alone Mr. 36 who I love like a bro.


29 views and no poll votes cast. Maybe it was a suicide? :ohwell:


You know, it IS possible seeing how much you like to stand on top of buildings with tequila and pistols screaming at the planet.

Besides, the dead shouldn't be talking...I'm scared.:scared:

I'm waiting to see if anyone has seen something I didn't.

Right now I suspect The Low. I think Slippy wanted a staff member as the first killer so things don't get messed up in the first game. I think you would be too obvious as a killer, but Low killed you because he didn't want to take out a regular member first. Plus he figured you would nail him.

But I don't want to waste my vote and hang an innocent if more info points the blame elsewhere and Low is indeed innocent.

I don't think non-participants votes count. Maybe the viewers aren't in the game?

I'd like to hang Linwood just on principal, but I don't think he did it. It's hard to say. You were a likely victim. Everyone knows you and would feel comfortable taking you out, lol.

Don't worry Roscoe. I'll avenge your death IF I don't get hanged first! Whats it like in the after life? Do you have 24 hour Pistons games with VJ hitting unbelievable last second game winners?

Or did you go to the "other place" where Lee357 is doing the color commentary on the games and Darko and Rodney White are starters??? :eek:

I'm trying very hard to figure this thing out. I can't vote on the jury yet, beacuse I am still reading the rules on this one.

Is there a coroner? Can I get an approximate time of death? Was the crime scene contaminated with milk, butter, salt, and or chives?

I agree that the murderer did a very nice job in taking old number 36 our first. I believe he would have solved the case in minutes. So... we have a very observant killer on our hands. Maybe someone with hundreds of EYES :doh: (that was such a bad potato joke. I'm truly ashamed of myself)

I know nasing, NASING!

Maybe it was Jammer. I mean... he WAS in Canada when the murder happened! Coincidence?

I know nasing, NASING!

Methinks thou doth protest too much!


Hey! Did you just vote to hang me because you know I'm hot on the trail of the real killer? Turns eye of suspicion toward TFD.




Did you do this to Roscoe last night?????
:brick:

Maybe it was Jammer. I mean... he WAS in Canada when the murder happened! Coincidence?

Jammer has been awfully quiet today.

Or did you go to the "other place" where Lee357 is doing the color commentary on the games and Darko and Rodney White are starters??? :eek:
I think ole Rosc would be easy to please.:)

Probably most of the viewers, like me, are just now figuring out what the "Murder....com (Murder@PF.com)" thread was all about. I didn't look at that thread until I started trying to figure out what this poll was all about. Maybe if Slippys thread was called "Who wants to play a Murder Mystery game" you would have gotten more participants.

KP, you should play next time. We'll run it again once we get the bugs out. Everyone is welcome...

Come'mom Slipage, everyone knows Tate, takes your lunch money on a regular basis here. What better way is there to get even then/than? by having everyone vote to have him hung? I'm down. Next up D59.

Oh yeah, :rip: roscoe.

I didn't see any posts within 24 hours with his name in it. Did anyone see any?


Negatory, my dear Watson. :nono: I did not see any posts with roscoe's name 24 hours previous to the post (Thursday, 8/17 11:48 pm) from Slippy announcing the untimely demise of Roscoe36.

:spy: The timeline is the crux of the case. I don't see anywhere in the rules in the thread Murder@PF.com where the murderer needs to have posted the hidden taunting boastful message, with name of victim and basketball keyword less than 24 hours previous to the announcement of said murder.

The incriminating post is probably farther back than that, due to Slippy seemingly having somewhat of a "soft on murderers" policy making more red tape for our lynch mob of detectives.


We will be giving the murderer 2 days (instead of one) to select a victim so that its not so obvious by looking at post traffic.


Is there a coroner? Can I get an approximate time of death?



The body of one Roscoe36 was found early this morning...


Thursday, 8/17 early am. This is all we know. How long did Roscoe36 lie dead next to the new server? Not to be indelicate, but how long did he suffer before he left us for the afterlife? Unfortunately we do not have a CSI team in place yet. I think we need to consider our time of murder, death and daring post by the murderer as 12-48 hours previous to early am Thurs, 8/17. :frusty:

A moment for eulogy, please::pray: Roscoe36 died as he lived, devotedly working on his tribute for his oft declared love, the Detroit Pistons. His legacy, PistonsForum.com, will live on, though perhaps may not thrive, without him.:mad: May we all be so fortunate in our moment of death as to be indulging in our passion (?!:confused: get your minds out of the gutter, it's a eulogy for crying out loud!) Too bad he was gruesomely felled by a supposed forum friend who probably had a secret agenda all along. :suspiciou :tsk:

Is there a reward, Slippy? :fingerscr Will I get police protection if I find the murderer before this becomes a serial murderer case? What if this fiend already suspects I know, and makes me his next victim? :fear: Is there a witness protection program here at PF.com in place yet?

P.S. Roscoe, if you can hear me in Pistons heaven, where Pistons, past and present, are always playing "no free chili" Bad Boys basketball and legions of angels are chanting DEETROIT BAAASKETBAAALL, I just want to tell you that the Bill Laimbeer video changed my life and kept me a Pistons Fan in the darkest of offseasons.:hail:

Funny post Aurora. :laugh:

But now I suspect you because you are "justifying"/explaining away why the murderer (Murderess?) didn't use Roscoes name the other day. However, I do see a post where YOU used his name on the 15th.


Hmmmm...the plot thickens.

I better figure it out quick. I'll be hung Saturday if TFD has his way!

Lemme see if I can find some incriminating evidence on TFD. I would enjoy watching his limp form swing from a tree limb in the wind. :laugh: :thumb:

Professor Plum in the Library with a Candlestick!

Whoops..wrong game. :eyebrows:

I got it...I got it...

Darth Tater is Kaiser Soze!!

Whoops...this isn't the movie trivia thread! :eyebrows:

OK, we need to come up with something here, otherwise an innocent legume is going to get sliced based on one vote. I know we are all mourning the loss of Roscoe but the trail is getting cold. Justice must be done!

What are you guys thinking? Who dunnit?

I was thinking Low or Aurora. Maybe Jammer?

We haven't heard from the Prof, warthog, or Dlev yet.

My guess is...somepeople are keeping pretty quiet. I think they are worried they won't be able to comment without giving themselves up....

I gotta check some more posts before I vote.


oh, and I love how I'm getting heat for this....always blame the Black guy... :rolleyes:

Maybe it was Jammer. I mean... he WAS in Canada when the murder happened! Coincidence?

He did use my name and Micro's in a post the other day. You may be on to something.

Jammer, what do you have to say for yourself?

Well, I guess I have to vote for someone. Thee does make some pretty interesting points, and I like his "rush to justice" style. Maybe I will throw my vote in the ring for Tater too.

Although, as much as I would like to see him out of this game, and just can't imagine what a crybaby he will be if he is eliminated early. Lots and lots of "from beyond the (mashed potatoes and) grave(y)" posts.

Guess I will have to think about this a little more.

Or maybe not. Lynch Mob justice!

Probably most of the viewers, like me, are just now figuring out what the "Murder....com (Murder@PF.com)" thread was all about. I didn't look at that thread until I started trying to figure out what this poll was all about. Maybe if Slippys thread was called "Who wants to play a Murder Mystery game" you would have gotten more participants.

Just like Roscoe said. We will do this again...its still a trial an error effort but thanks to all the guniea pigs for their entertaining posts!!

Well, this is just the Wild Wild West around here. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw that I am a prime suspect. Anyone could see that my post to roscoe was pure business, about videos he removed before their appointed time.

After preliminary investigation, I am now focusing on two suspects: The Low and even more ominously, the Professor.

I shall cite my painstaking evidence at midnight or whenever the new server is up, whichever comes first.

I am appalled at your lack of clearmindedness, linwood. You never know someone until they accuse you of a heinous crime!

I'm innocent I tell you, innocent! :laugh:

As for my apparent silence, 99% of my posts come at night and since I didn't get home from work today until about 7:30 and the server was down, this is my first chance to defend myself!

I haven't voted in the poll just yet because I wanted to do some CSI type investigating first. But I was thinking along the same lines as a couple of you, in that I felt that the first killer would be a staff member to help ease into the game.

Also, going into the game, I didn't think I'd be chosen as the first killer, since slippy had used me in his example.
PLUS, we Canadians are lovers not fighters! :canada:

OK Jammer. You were a distant 3rd on my suspect list, but you are off it now. I can't see any words in your post that could be a key word.

Aurora, I was leaning toward you big time, but I don't see a keyword in your post either (although I could see you distracting Roscoe with your feminine charms and then crushing his skull with a computer monitor).

Low, if the keyword is "jumpers" you are the killer. But...your response was a natural one to Roscoes comments.

Prof...is the keyword "offense" or "defensive"? if so, you could be dirty.


This is a toughie.

I have 3 suspects and each has a reason for wanting Roscoe offed.

They are (in no particular order):

The Low
- he mentioned Roscoe in 3 seperate posts in the past few days, the last of which contained several basketball related terms containing the letter "e".

Motive - Roscoe hits a "sour note"?

Incriminating evidence - the use of "jumper", "attitude" and "outscored" in his Aug 1th post replying to Roscoe

Aurorakmw
- several mentions of Roscoe recently, but none in the past 2 days.

Motive - bitter over the permenant deletion of forum vids.

Incriminating evidence - Wishing Roscoe "God Speed" earlier today... AFTER his death! Hmmm

The professor
- very suspicious post in the Pluto thread around the time of the murder. Has been suspiciously quiet since then.

Motive - Roscoe posed the biggest threat to his murderous ways. So the PROFESSOR used intellect - getting rid of the strongest link - in choosing his first victim.

Incriminating evidence - suspicious basketball analagies planted in his post about Pluto - possibly to disguise the key word? - around the time of the murder.

I'll leave you to ponder this evidence and will return with my final determination shortly...

I don't understand this. What am I missing?

I don't understand this. What am I missing?

http://www.pistonsforum.com/predictions-contests-games/3779-murder-pf-com.html

I gotta go with the Prof on this one. The evidence doesn't lie!

Confess now professor and we might go easy on you. Deny it and we'll put a #3 Ben Wallace Bulls jersey on you during the lynching!

...Low, if the keyword is "jumpers" you are the killer. But...your response was a natural one to Roscoes comments...
Really? Sure, no one would suspect my ornery persona to be tied to off-ing somebody. Not only that, but a keyword tied directly to what I've been %%%%%ing about all year. I wouldn't stand a chance...but I'm not surprised as much crap as I give roscoe.

I'm getting a lot of play for this (oddly no votes) and no sir, I'm not liking it. But, I would have to believe that I have probably made myself a target all year. I'm pretty sure a hangin would symbolically end my rants on LB, Ben, Defense, and the like....

I'm thinkin Tater is really workin hard to point the finger...a lil too hard....

:pound::yield::rofl:

Didn't you tell Roscoe " Besides, the dead shouldn't be talking...I'm scared"? You were trying to hush his ghost before it told on you, weren't you?

Everyone sing along with me:

Hang down your head Low Dooley...Hang down your head and cry...Hang down your head Low Dooley...poor grouch your bound to die.

This time tomorrow....reckon where I'll be...prolly in some lonesome forum...hanging from Slippy's oak tree...

A good detective follows all leads, no offence Low. :P

Facts are facts. 1. You're in the game. 2. You've used Roscoe's name in several posts during the time frame of the murder. 3. You've used potential key words in those same posts.

You were a suspect, however my investigation has since concluded and you're now free to go. Thanks for your time. You can pick up your personal belongings at the front desk.
:laugh:

...Thanks for your time. You can pick up your personal belongings at the front desk...:laugh:

Hey! That's not mine!:redface:

Hey! That's not mine!:redface:

Hey man, I'm not here to judge you... well, in this instance I guess I kind of am.

But what you do on your own time is none of my business.... well, unless of course, what you do on your own time is kill forum members!

Low, you realize of course that you voted the same way as TFD. You must want me dead pretty bad to do a thing like that.

You may get me hanged to shut me up, but my death will not be in vain. You will never get away with this you fiend!!!!

I'm not sure it's workin, sir. Besides, hangin you will just end this more quickly so we can start round 2 and get more people involved.

...unless I'm sorely mistaken on who the culprit really is.:doh:

oh, and I love how I'm getting heat for this....always blame the Black guy... :rolleyes:

:pound: Oh Low don't you see how playing the race card casts even MORE suspicion on you IMO. That would be like me jumping up and down and saying that the rush to justice people were misogynists. Good diversionary tactic though. :nod:

The aforementioned posts that call Roscoe by name and use the word "jumpers" more than once are the evidence that may seal your fate.:ohwell:

I don't want it to be you Low. I really don't. And truth be told, I think "jumpers" is kind of a lame basketball word, but I'll need you to come in for questioning anyway. Please cooperate fully. It can only get worse for you the longer you protest your innocence, if you did it. Roscoe appears to be able to contact the forum from the afterlife so time is of the essence for the murderer.

I'd like to be able to rule you out and officially issue a warrant for the Professor. Just an informal friendly chat Low, no need to bring a lawyer.:)

I don't really understand this but blame Slippy. He started it and strategically excluded himself.

I don't really understand this but blame Slippy. He started it and strategically excluded himself.

I find myself blaming Slippy for alot of things I don't understand. So far, it has worked well.

Kim: I know you did it. When I read your post to the dearly departed, my elbow started to itch. I knew something was wrong, because my elbow only itches when my intuition is trying to tell me something. I have a feeling you may have "sneaky eyes."

I gotta go with the Prof on this one. The evidence doesn't lie!

Confess now professor and we might go easy on you. Deny it and we'll put a #3 Ben Wallace Bulls jersey on you during the lynching!

oh whatever jammer... yeah, sure, you're right... i spent the last week praying that i wouldn't be designated the murderer because i have no clue whatsoever as to how this game works, but no, no: you're right, i not only understand the game (after all, i am a -- no, THE -- professor) but was brilliant enough to embed my clues in some absurd outer space posts.

nope, sorry, it's aurora -- there were some absolutely gratuitous posts on her part going out of her way to address roscoe... clearly the dame is lethal

unless, of course, it was you jammer -- you're being obviously pushy about casting blame ... as they say in other contexts: he who denied it supplied it

I'd like to be able to rule you out and officially issue a warrant for the Professor. Just an informal friendly chat Low, no need to bring a lawyer.:)

I don't know about Professor, but if you think I'm going to show up sans lawyer for you and the spud to have a few microts alone with me in a room...you need to put down the tater tots and slowly back away.

I'd end up hung for just having mowed Roscoe's lawn....

...none for me thanks.

Someone should die soon, with another clue, right?
I hope the killer puts me out of my misery.
Roscoe and "E"

Nice defence professor, pleading ignorance. :noidea: The oldest trick in the book. Pretty feable attempt if you ask me.

Ah, and the icing on the cake is your attempt at "accuse your accuser".A desperate last ditch attempt of a man on death row.

Of course I'm casting blame. That's the point of the game. But I do my talking with evidence while you do yours with murderous misdirection.

GUILTY!

Jamm I was trying to quote your "I didn't think they would make me the murderer cause Slip used me in the example..."
So you are the killer?! W.T.Canuck!

Also, going into the game, I didn't think I'd be chosen as the first killer, since slippy had used me in his example. So you are the killer!
PLUS, we Canadians are lovers not fighters! :canada:
Hang Jamm now!

Thee,

No, I didn't think I'd be the chosen as the killer for the first round (I couldn't say that I knew I wouldn't be chosen, since I have no control over it) and I was right.

I haven't checked, but I don't even think I had any posts that would fit the M.O. anyway.

Hey Slippy,
So what happens if there's a tie in the poll? Do we off both of them?

nope, sorry, it's aurora -- there were some absolutely gratuitous posts on her part going out of her way to address roscoe... clearly the dame is lethal

Absolutely Gratuitous Posts?! Here are my two posts in the time frame.

Thread: Who do you vote off the island of Japan?

Hey, Roscoe, dba no vote on my first poll? C'mon, commit yourselves.
Other than proving I was wrong about Bowen:doh: , this is clearly in the flow of forum posting. I was all excited about my first poll on pf.com and those two didn't vote but they posted.:mmph: Totally understandable.

Thread: Important PF.com videos to be removed
Hey Roscoe did you already remove these?
Ha! That is the evidence against me? You think the remaining two jury members, Warthog and Dlev, will hang me on the basis of being overly anxious for my first PF.com poll to be a success?

Professor, I have more faith in their good sense. But you should be worried. You and The Low should be pooling your resources and planning an escape to a country that won't extradite you. One of you did it.

Sounds a lot like your defence professor. And once again, you go after the person who suspects you. You're second use of the "accuse your accuser" defence.

I also noticed that you didn't respond to my alligations against you. Hmm... suspicious.

I agree Aurora. One of those two did it, and I think it was the Low.

Low, how can you think I did it when there was no evidence (i.e. I left no posts with Roscoe's name in it)? That was what made me remove any lingering doubt it must be you. You must want me out of the way.

On the other hand, Prof either really believes it is Aurora or he wants her out of the way also.

Both cannot be killers, and since I left no evidence, you cannot believe I really did it. Therefore you are the killer and Prof must erroneously believe Aurora is guilty.

Ok I have not yet weighed in on who comitted this heinous crime. Without a prolonged closing arguement I am saying the Professor did it.

I don`t quite understand the game yet but because the Prof posts are so deep anyway, he must have posted something that incriminates himself, I just don`t know which post or when.

The Professor, Guilty!!!!!!!

poll will close at 9 PM CST 10 EST and the accused murderer shall be hung for the heinous crime of off'ing the father of PF.com.

get your votes in.

Professor, I accuse you of the evil deed. I do not feel the evidence is very strong, and I almost chose The Low. You have only one post where you use the victim roscoe's name and have key basketball words of "offense" and "defensive."

The Low had three posts, all in the same thread however, where he used roscoe's name and the key basketball word of "jumpers" in two of them.

My head tells me that the murderer is The Low, but my gut tells me it's you. Your most recent attempt to further incriminate me by character assassination instead of sticking to the evidence is telling. So I chose you.

Also, I think that the keyword "jumpers" is really lame and probably not a basketball keyword.

I sure hope The Low isn't going to get away with murder. Professor, if I am wrong and you hang...the justice system in this game needs to be overhauled. An innocent man should not die over planet/basketball analogies. Evidentiary procedure will be reviewed I am sure (it's the first round, after all).

Now only dlev59 and warthog are left to decide our and The Low's fate.

Dlev forgot to vote in the poll! What now?

i voted to hang warthog because he never contributed to the mob. :P

I'll wait a few more minutes to allow dlev an 11th hour, life changing vote.


we have a 3 way tie. I never took that into account since it never happened in the parlor game version. i suppose I will need to get out the "Coin of Life and Death"

Just think, your lives depend of the landing of a peso. Doesn't that make you feel cheap.

ok the poll will remain open until 2 am because i was up late on thursday when i did the poll. however, tallying is complete.

we have a three way tie. your fates shall hang in the balance. Who will meet roscoe36 in the afterlife? I will post the results by tomorrow.

Oh oh. Prof just said in a "Tigers" thread that I pointed out something to him in another thread. I have to say that it wasn't me who pointed it out.

Is he setting me up as his next victim if neither of us is hanged.

I thought I'd better say something before he does it...I may be dead soon. Hopefully this keeps me alive.

Wait...I don't see a keyword in the post. Maybe I'm noid?

:laugh: :nod: Slippy can afford to say that. He's the game manager, so he doesn't have to worry about either being murdered or hanged in the near future.

Seriously, Slippy I think you have to hold off any decisions until you ascertain Dlev's actual intent of vote. His post was pretty clear.

Darth, you might be a little noid. But given that there was NO evidence against you at all, and you might be hanged by a jury of your peers...maybe not too noid.:ohwell:

tater, i thought it was you, honest. i had asked if baseball players could actually run out of gas during the season. and you (or someone else, I guess) said that pitchers do.

anyway, i think aurora is right. dlev sure sounded like he wanted to vote for me. i mean, i didn't do it (as y'all will find out when i am hanged and the slaughter continues), but shouldn't he get to vote?

this is so funny because obviously everyone is going to say they didn't do it, and everyone really means it (except obviously for one person). what a funny, maddening game!

good idea to start it you guys. and, if i am hanged, i just want to say: "forgive them, for they know not what they do"

The noose swayed lazily in the breeze as the mob marched up to the hewn planks that carried swift justice and dropped even swifter revenge. One of them would answer for the crime committed a few days ago. Roscoe was more than a member. He was a vital organ to the forum organism. A cancer had come to deal its deadly hand. It had to be cut out.
AuroraKMW stood defiant as the rope was fitted about her neck. "Death will not end with me. Remember that. Especially you, Dlev. Thanks for voting on time."

Dlev59 shrugged but said nothing.

In moments it was over. Roscoe was avenged. The group was safe again.

AuroraKMW stood defiant as the rope was fitted about her neck. "Death will not end with me. Remember that. Especially you, Dlev. Thanks for voting on time."

Dlev59 shrugged but said nothing.

In moments it was over. Roscoe was avenged. The group was safe again.

:Cry: that's so sad! i wish i hadn't voted for her :Cry:

I don't get it. Roscoe was avenged? Was she guilty?????

The group was safe again.

:nono:

I don't get it. Roscoe was avenged? Was she guilty?????
I think we might have to wait and see if someone else is offed first.

Sleep with at least one of your many spud eyes open Tater.

:behindsof :spy: :peep:

EDIT: Of course, now if Darth does get killed, its going to look like I did it.:doh:

I don't get it. Roscoe was avenged? Was she guilty?????

OK SOMEONE is up WAY past his bedtime.

...me in Pistons heaven, where Pistons, past and present, are always playing "no free chili" Bad Boys basketball and legions of angels are chanting DEETROIT BAAASKETBAAALL...

:rapture:

OK SOMEONE is up WAY past his bedtime.
Yeah, somehow the prospect of a murderer areound every corner makes it harder to doze off!

Besides, it's two hours earlier in Idaho than in Meeechigan. Actually, I figured I could sleep in since I expected to "wake up dead" (apologies to Yogi Bera).

Jammer: Nah, you are innocent. But the REAL killer will blame you. I'm almost certain he is "shtill lurking about" (apologies to Daffy duck...I doubt anyone knows what I mean on this one unless you saw a particular classic episode).

Aurora: If I live to the end of this round I may vote to hang Dlev just to avenge your innocent soul. However, The Low is still my number one suspect. Nobody else could have done this dastardly act and watched you hang for his deed. Your detective work will be missed, but he will pay for his crimes.

Linwood & Prof: "Shame! Shame! Shame"! (With apologies to Gomer Pyle). How could you hang that innocent girl? I expect you two to do triple time to make up for the loss of detective work we suffered due to losing Aurora. And you call yourselves detectives? Oh, the Shame!!!


Slippy: "For the last time clean your damned room"!!! (with apologies to Slippy's mom). This place used to be a safe haven to relax. Now, it is the murder capital of cyber space. Thanks a lot!

OK, I gotta work all morning (but I'll try to sneak some peeks) then I'm going fishing probably, so I may be dead by the time I return to the forum. So here is my suspect list in order of suspicion before I die:

(1) The Low...strong number one. Evil Evil Evil...and BITTER.

(2) Prof...This dude is one tricky cat. Put nothing past him.

(3) Jammer...Still possible he pulled offt he crime of the century. I always say "if you can't blame it on the black guy (with apologies to the Low), blame it on the Cannuck!

(4) Dlev...odd how he didn't vote. Hmmmmm....

(5) Linwood...99 percent chance he is innocent, but wouldn't it be fun to watch him hang? Come on, you know you wanna!

Early on I was pretty convinced that it was Jammer. Unfortunately, I can't find the incriminating post anymore. :doh: Although it does seem like it would have been difficult for him to escape wearing those vintage MC Jammer pants. :laugh:

Hey real killer (professor or the low), please kill Mo next! :rip::laugh:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
That's really not nice. LMAO! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Whoops! Just did more research and you are right. I take it back, you're obviously not the killer. The thought of you trying to escape the crime in Hammer pants was worth the accusation though. lol!

:rofl:

My bad. Wasn`t sure how the voting went. If I can`t vote correctly, you know I can`t pull off a murder....................:P

:hand: STOP! :hand: ....Jammertime!

BTW, I'm pretty confident that the culprit is the Low now. Say it ain't so...say it ain't so. This is an episode of "Cops" gone bad. Looks like my boy Low has reached an alltime, well "low". Wacking a freindly canadien that gives his heart and soul to this Pistons fansite just to get more street cred to push his new album. :tsk: Arrest that man!

"I'm Black Ya'll, I'm Black Ya'll, I'm Blacker than Black cause I'm Black Ya'll!"

Well, I guess its better than wearing MC Jammer pants (:pound:) ... you won't have to feel the...
"Sweat from My Balls!!!"

(1) The Low...strong number one. Evil Evil Evil...and BITTER.

C'mon Tate...I'm not bitter...I'm a sweet sensual blend of Mocha and Jazz.

I always say "if you can't blame it on the black guy (with apologies to the Low), blame it on the Cannuck!

I trust you ARE aware that you will be made to pay restitution for that comment, buddy..

...watch your.......skin?

:hand: STOP! :hand: ....Jammertime!

I wish I had been murdered.

oh man i'm gone for a week and i totally miss out on the first murder!! slippy thx for voting for me!! haha ;p

jus' tryin' to help you out!:thumb:

I'm starting to buy into Low's theory that Roscoe's death was just a suicide! He took the playoff exit to the Heat and Ben's departure pretty bad, after all.

Nothing has hapened since then besides you guys hanging innocent Aurora. I'm beginning to believe you only did that so you could peek up her skirt while she was on the scaffold. :laugh:

Always IMPATIENT. That is the mark of the DARK SIDE!

Alright, its getting too quite in here. Someone needs to die already! :laugh:

Dark Side!!

Dark Side!!

Less filling!!

i don't think it's quiet enough in here, and we should definitely wait longer til someone dies (then again, maybe nobody has died because Aurora WAS THE KILLER!!!)

You can bet your sweet bippy Aurora was innocent.

I think the real killer can't move because the other players aren't posting enough and the killer (you or Low) would be too easily found.

This round was basically a trial, so we will need to tweak the rules a bit for next time.

Every day my wife (Mrs. Potato head) asks me, "so are you dead yet?"
I'm like ":noidea:" She wants to collect on the insurance policy already.

I don't really think that $1.89 is really going to help her all that much...

That goes a long way in Idaho!

She can buy a new plastic nose for that price. The dog chewed up her old one.

Anyhow, how much money does a potato need? Water goes a long way in our family.

Besides, shouldn't you be focusing on your next victim?

Shouldn't you be getting ready to be made into chips or something?

Beside, I'd be focusing on that if I were the real killer. Funny how you never seem to cast an eye on the silent members.

There was absolutely no evidence against them that I could find. Show me something.

Anything.

Besides, IF I am wrong, they will leave me alive since I would be on the wrong trail.

Well then, it would be pretty easy to leave yourself alive then, huh?

And let the REAL culprit escape? NOT!!!

Hell, I'll Kill all ya'll! Its going down V style. Slo'mo an' a Who'lotta knives flashin' 'round. BYaaaaaaahhhhhh!

This is taking awhile. Does someone actually have to get killed before we can form a lynch mob? I'm ready to do some more hangin'.:eyebrows:

This thread provides fascinating insight into human nature.

So who won? Who did it?

Is it going to end like this? Is it supposed to end like this?

Darth Tater is dead.

The murderer BORED him to DEATH! :bored:

:yell: Linwood, did you know that in a past life you were an poor old lady, cackling with bloodlust, that held the basket for the guillotined heads to roll into? It's true. I looked it up in the Past Lives File Cabinet up here in heaven.

I'm dead thanks to your elbow itch and your hurry to hang someone. Soon you'll be ready to just line everyone in the game up in front of a firing squad and execute all for the same crime. Shame, shame, shame.

Heaven? I don't think so, honey. Murderers don't go to heaven!

I'm glad you got hung AuraK, I were a completely BS murderer.

I'm glad you got hung AuraK, I were a completely BS murderer.

What? I'm sure I don't know what you mean, Thee.

Damn. You were a...

Damn. You were a...

It was BS that I was the murderer. That must be what you mean.

No all your BS lies and dispersions. When you knew you were caught.

No all your BS lies and dispersions. When you knew you were caught.

Dude. If she was guilty, Prof would not be dead. We need to figure out who did it instead of accusing corpses or we'll be next.

This is a new game right? AuraK killed R36 right? She's not in the new poll.

This is a new game right? AuraK killed R36 right? She's not in the new poll.

No. She was wrongly accused. The murderer is still at large. This is the same game, but a new round. It doesn't end until we get the right killer. The same person that killed Roscoe killed the Prof. That's why Scoe and Aurora can't play. They are dead. So I think it is Low, but Linwood looks very suspicious.

The vote will come down to you, Dlev, & I so we gotta hang the right one otherwise we have another tiebreaker (which sux).

How come you and Prof. were not hung? You each got 2 votes also.

How come you and Prof. were not hung? You each got 2 votes also.

Because it was a 3 way tie. Only one person gets hanged so Slippy flipped a coin. Aurora lost.

Ironically, Prof is also dead now. It really was a surprise that he was killed because lots of people were looking his way, so why would the killer not kill him or I???? Very tricky and baffling.

So all three people in the flip were innocent (unless you believe I'm guilty).
Once again a " FLIP" messes up Pistons fans. If it's not Saunders it's a coin.

So now you gotta vote in the prof thread on who you think did it.

How come you and Prof. were not hung? You each got 2 votes also.

They weren't hung basically because Slippy the Game Manager broke the three way tie with a three way coin toss. Which I lost. :hurt: I sure wish I could help get the killer but now that Prof and I are dead, we can't help bring the killer to justice by trying to solve the case. Because we are dead. We can however speak from the afterlife about the game, if that makes any sense.

You guys got to get it right this time. Otherwise, more carnage.

So I was right all along, it was you or Jamm.

So I was right all along, it was you or Jamm.


:doh: There was only minimal evidence discovered on Jam on Roscoes death and none for Profs demise; and there was none on me for either Roscoe or Prof, I believe.

I am about to vote for the Low. Too much evidence against him & not enough against Linwood to sway me.

I don't think we're doing this right. If someone voted the killer correctly, game over. Only 4 people didn't get votes: D59, Wood, MoPi and me.
Everybody else got a vote. Shouldn't Slip have said someone guessed right?

This is not a right or wrong pop quiz...its life and death!!! the group decides who wil pay for the crime.

I just had a chance to re-read this.

Are you kidding me??? Do you have any idea what that guy has to do to keep this place running efficiently....I wouldn't wish that one someone I didn't like....let alone Mr. 36 who I love like a bro.
The feelings are mutual.

You know, it IS possible seeing how much you like to stand on top of buildings with tequila and pistols screaming at the planet.
I only did that once and it was a Super Soaker.
