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.

Good Goddess it's hard to come up with a yes/no question that will get me anywhere!  :eek:


Was the woman disabled?

Did the woman have full use of her legs?

Here's the answer:  :ponder:

The man reading the article is a pirate.  He was disabled and had to sit out his journey this time, but his first mate called him and told him a ninja was on board.  The ninja totally flipped out and pushed the woman off the ship using a roundhouse kick.  

Sorry to ruin it for everyone.
I'm lost.

Was the couple on vacation?
Had the man reading the newspaper met them, before they set sail?
Did the killer pay the man reading the newpaper for a service rendered?

Is the man reading the paper an insurance agent, and did the SO recently purchase a large life insurance policy for the woman through him?
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.

Focussing on the service rendered...

Did the reader sell a physical object to the killer?

The man reading the newspaper is a travel agent.  He sold the husband two tickets for a cruise ship...  One round-trip ticket, and one one-way ticket.  He recognized the names in the newspaper, and deduced -- from the one-way ticket -- that the husband had planned his wife's "accident" from the beginning.
