Death at the Library - The Ephebe whowazzit game

(this might seem stupid but what do you mean (my brain is not functioning))

[Jan Van Quirm]

I see where you're coming from Willem.

Is it just coincidence that michelanCello is from Budapest, and Budapest is an anagram of "Stab up Ed"

Who was this "Ed" bloke she stabbed up?

There you go bikkit - all down to pooh as usual (although Willem started the anagram thingie)...

Just a silly coincidence of course, but of course Stab up Ed could be the street name of a low class assassin and not the corpse...?

[bikkit]

nooo, ed stab YOU

[Jan Van Quirm]

So the street name option then? He looks like the kind of chap who'd (for the right price of course) save a disappointed bride the trouble and expense of divorcing her new hubby

Is he free to take up contracts for, say late August-ish?

[Willem]

I'll vote for Bikkit too then in the interest of speeding up the game.

It's clear to me now: 'Bikkit killer' is an anagram for 'biker kit kill' I can imagine Bikkit in full leather, strangling philosophers with bare hands.... I'll have a lie-down now.

[meerkat]

Bikkit, how can something that sweet turn into that merciless hard faced killer?

Mind you, I said that about Darth Vadar!

Pooh: Usual self! .

I VOTE FOR POOH!

If I were a newbie at this game, the first thing I'd do would be to read the other games already played to get an idea who the dangerous people were. meerkat obviously did this because of the above comment.

If I were a newbie AND a killer, I'd then try to either vote off or kill the dangerous ones.

If I'd studied the previous games, I'd know that Pooh (I'm using 3rd person to make it easier to understand) doesn't break pacts and has only lied once.

Therefore, if Pooh said he wouldn't vote for a newbie, or kill a newbie if he were able to, it would be completely ILLOGICAL for a newbie to vote for Pooh not once, but twice!

The only reason I can think of that explains meerkat's obsession with voting me off, is that she's a killer and my initial accusation hit a nerve.

Obviously if she uses her last vote against bikkit and I'm not killed first round, then I might have to reconsider my suspicions.

But if you want to kill me off, go ahead and do it. As long as I'm playing, people tend to ignore what I say, because I'm doing everything for my own benefit. If I'm killed, then I gawp a lot and people just might take notice of what I say more, because it's more objective.

John Major once said something like this, "It's better to have the b*stards in the tent p*ssing out, than vica versa."

NOOOOO!! YOU'VE PISSED OFF A'TUIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dotsie]

Actually I'm going to vote for pooh

That last post looked a bit, wheedling to me. He's definitely got something to hide this time

[poohcarrot]

It wasn't wheedling, it was winding up and provoking.

[poohcarrot]

Well, if I'm voted off, and I'm right about my hunch, I predict that Jan (or Dotsie) will be joining me very shortly, coz one of them'll be dead.

[meerkat]

Dearest Poohkins! I have taken you on as my mentor as, clearly, I am far too girly even for a girl (ok make that woman) adn need to toughen up. If I appear to follow your lead surely you can only take it as a compliment and nothing less.

I am voting for you because you have played this game before and you know the rules better'n anyone else (probably) therefore are the more dangerous... but then the female of the species is more dangerous than the male, so I am keeping my options open for my last vote!

Feel honoured, my Master!

[poohcarrot]

but then the female of the species is more dangerous than the male, so I am keeping my options open for my last vote!

That's what we men want you to keep on thinking!

[Dotsie]

you have played this game before and you know the rules better'n anyone else

Ha!

[meerkat]

you have played this game before and you know the rules better'n anyone else

Ha!

Flattery usually works with men, as you well know,Dotsie! I had not realised you had been playing this game as long or longer than Pooh. Please accept my grovelling appologies!
