Click on the board to see a larger version. The board is current to post #150.
RULES
The game will be played to the rules listed here. If you need a detective sheet, you may get it from this source. (I recommend printing one off even if you are in the replacement queue so catchup is faster.) The rest of these rules are additions and clarifications by me only.
When you are PM'd your cards, confirm receipt by PM'ing me back in the order in which you want me to give priority in the event you have multiple cards that could disprove a suggestion. (This order may be changed at any time; just PM me with the new order.) If you PM cards yourself, you must wait for the players between you and the suggesting player (if any) to pass and I must also receive the PM.
When rolling, tell me the exact path you wish to take.
Suggestions and accusations must be in bold to count. If you are not ready to make an accusation after your suggestion, bold the words
End turn
to officially allow the next player to roll.
It's blurry in the source photo, but for players unfamiliar with the board, one secret passage connects the conservatory with the lounge and the other connects the kitchen with the study.

(p.s. I'm on the other side of the world from a lot of people so if this is fairly fast paced / inactivity at peak times will be an issue please disregard this xD)
I'm patient If you have a preference between Miss Scarlet and Mrs. Peacock, you may pick one; otherwise I'm fine randomizing it or leaving you with whatever's left.
suggest Miss Scarlet with a Revolver in the Lounge
pleaae.
Can I move to the conservatory and make the same suggestion there?
Since you currently cannot make a suggestion from the lounge (because you haven't moved from there since your last suggestion), I am going to rule that you can indeed move to the conservatory and suggest Miss Scarlet with the revolver in the conservatory and that it is your intent:
Is this correct?
No. The only thing you're allowed to do when it's not your turn is show the current player cards to disprove their suggestions, and that is a process I've been automating in practice.

OK, I
CLEARLY
shouldn't be modding this game...
This game is on hold while I decide on the best action to take. If the game is compromised, I'll just end it here and not do a second restart since I'm getting burnt out from modding this game.
Edited to add:
I'm also considering how any further mod errors can be prevented and/or made easier to detect. If you are not in the game and would like to help, please let me know.
I would prefer to play Risk instead of Clue, probably.
I'm actually using a text file, but the same info can easily be formatted as such.
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.

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.

Happy to help if you wanna talk through what's catching you.
Even if spoilers are necessary I can replace out

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

OK. For this turn only, we'll allow her a choice. If she takes the secret passage, she will be committed to suggesting Mrs. Peacock with the revolver in the conservatory. If she moves six spaces, she just has to give me a path.

I don't feel like hosting another Clue game right now, but if you'd like to do it, count me in You can use the stuff I made as well as the spreadsheet the worst made me.
