I've come up with an idea should I continue this game or abandon it and come back to it again: write a program to determine what card to show from whom given the current player and their suggestion. It has a precedent of sorts that originated in StrangerCoug's Old Wheel of Fortune where I would sometimes miscount the number of a letter in the puzzle; a solution was suggested by RichardGHP (I believe) to use a website that counted the letters; I now use a custom Java program for this purpose.In post 99, StrangerCoug wrote:I'm actually using a text file, but the same info can easily be formatted as such.In post 98, TwoInAMillion wrote:Are you using spreadsheets to keep track of everything?
I would prefer to play Risk instead of Clue, probably.
Clue Rematch (Game over!)

That would only work if more than one card that could disprove a suggestion was held by a player and I didn't have players assign card priorities. The rules are specific about in what order players try to disprove suggestions.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

OK, I think the worst has a system that'll work. I will go through each suggestion with his spreadsheet (hopefully within 24 hours), then edit posts and replace players as necessary. Since the worst knows everyone's cards and his solution, for sure he will be replaced. After that, we'll most likely continue.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

If we're replacing people for knowing too much, I know that I was shown the wrong card at least once, so I should probably get replaced.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

Post #79 has been corrected by striking out the incorrect name and putting the correct one after it (since it may be information you guys have already used and I don't want to disadvantage replacements by removing the record of the error itself). I did not detect any other errors with the worst's spreadsheet; if there is evidence of there still being a mod error, please let me know.
Sudo_Nym is the only player I was able to confirm was affected by the mod error (I thought TwoInAMillion was as well), so he and the worst are the ones that will be replaced. RedCoyote will get priority, then TheGoldenParadox will take the other replacement.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

RedCoyote takes Miss Scarlet, which gives TheGoldenParadox Col. Mustard. They will receive their cards within 24 hours; in the meantime, TwoInAMillion may go.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

I found the mod error that affected TwoInAMillion, so he will be replaced by Katyusha. I can acknowledge the roll of six, but not the path (since he is in the lounge and there's no door going up from there). Apologies for the inconvenience, and I thank the worst, Sudo_Nym, and TwoInAMillion for playing.
Katyusha will be receiving a PM shortly, after which she may move six spaces. RedCoyote and TheGoldenParadox should each have their cards now.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!

Do you think she should be allowed to take the secret passage after her predecessor just rolled? I'm inclined to permit it since she can't read TwoInAMillion's mind.STRANGERCOUG: Stranger Than You!
