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.

Premise riddle #7

Name Lips

Does the reader know who killed the man?

Is the reader correct - was it murder?
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.

Quote from: Name LipsDoes the reader know who killed the man?

You're making an assumption that hasn't been answered.

If it's rephrased "was the victim a man" and "Does the reader know who the killer is", the answer is no to the first and yes to the second.

QuoteIs the reader correct - was it murder?
Yes.

Does the reader think that the woman killed was murdered by a lover/boyfriend/husband?
 

Name Lips

Does the reader know, for a FACT, from the infromation in the article and his own knowledge, that the death of the woman was murder?

Or is there, with the information he has, some room for doubt?
