SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Did the ship sink?
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still rock and roll to me.

You can talk all you want about theory, craft, or whatever. But in the end, it's still just new ways of looking at people playing make-believe and having a good time with their friends. Intellectualize or analyze all you want, but we've been playing the same game since we were 2 years old. We just have shinier books, spend more money, and use bigger words now.

Was the man involved with the death at all?

Was he even on the ship at the time of the death?

Does the newspaper article describe the death as an accident?

Does the newspaper article describe the death as a suicide?

And:

Does the reader have any special knowledge about the person who was killed?

Is the reader making his deduction entirely on the basis of the news article he has just read?

Quote from: Dr_AvalancheA man is sitting in a park reading a newspaper article with the headline "Death on the sea" after which he proclaims "it is murder!"

How did he reach that conclusion?

Did he reach that conclusion because he knew the person that died could not swim?

Was the person who died somehow physically or mentally incapable of, by himself, getting into the situation which killed him?
