Stopwatch

So, as this is an obvious set up for a suspicion arc () I think the case will be quite simple and the fun bit will be watching how Conan solves it. I'm not sure if the police will be called or not, someone suggested calling them when they found the body, but the landlady then said about Impostorou so...I don't think the police will be called or if they are I think it'll probably be Takagi and Satou (because I doubt Megure would go along with the imposter) which would be a nice change... Case wise I can't really add on that much to what everyone else has been saying other than I think that the door will end up being a clue, it was commented on an awful lot and, as I previously said, I think this will be a simple case so there probably wont be any red herrings...

I'd considered Sera being Akemi's sister on one side and Haibara's on the other, because being a full sister of Akemi implies that Akemi went out with her brother and I don't think Aoyama would do that. I can't find much evidence for it though...

Hmm... neat little code if a bit simple (that was probably the point though), maybe next time you shouldn't give the hint or at least ut it in a spoiler box, it's so much more fun trying to solve it without something telling you how, or at least IMO. Anyway, welcome to DCW~! I hope you do more codes... maybe in the game section or something *loves codes and ciphers*

O.o... I think you need to get someone to look over this and correct the grammar and spelling before posting, saying 'U' instead of 'you' in a fic is . . . not very good if you want people to take it seriously. Also, using a bigger variety of words would be advisable, don't keep on having Conan 'shouting', get out a thesaurus if you're stuck on what sort of words to use. Well, good luck with improving . . .

O.o... apparently there's 9 others reading this at the moment. So, well, this would work but I don't know if people would think it's worth it. If everyone gets a gmail account for Mafia, 'cause sometimes your actual emails have your name in them and it'd be easier to keep track 'cause it's all the Mafia stuff together without stressing the PM system here. If they're all gmail accounts named after your username then you could still 'PM' to get allies without it being much harder than normal. It's worth considering as a backup option I think. EDIT: It's just occurred to me but if, for some reason, a BO or graveyard section can't be set up you could also use the google docs (that's attached to the gmail) and get a word document uploaded. Then the GM simply shares it (and allows it to be edited by) whoever is in the BO/dead. That way, to post, you'd just edit the doc and add whatever you want to say and sign your name then save it and everyone else it's shared with would see what you'd written. It is nowhere near ideal, but if the BO/graveyard section can't be set up we may need to look for alternative ways for them to discuss together (outside of adding everyone's name to an email/PM all the time).

How so? There's a logical reason why in the future inactive members may have to have their accounts deleted. Discussing it now as to how to do it the fairest way is a good option. I don't see how this thread is 'evil'.

Well, I don't use it to express my feelings like with normal smilies but I'm gonna include this one 'cause it's a pet. (0-) <-Cyclops, my smily...

'kay, I'll add the pics once I've access to a laptop. N - c6

@Chekhov: I was actually referring to the historical Nicholas Flamel, not the one from Harry Potter... EDIT: While this would explain Aoyama's trip to France, I think it's unlikely because so far we've only seen the Org links to America and Japan and no European countries...

Can I play? I'm not sure about the board thing though... Anyway, p - e5

Another historical person...? Pandora = Philosophers stone? Hmm ... it's possible, but unlikely...

Can I just point out that the race Hitler wanted to rule were supposed to be Aryan (sp?) Christian Germans. I get the feeling the programs you watched were biased. Though people trying to bring him back after he died are still fair game.

@Aeyra: I prefer Snape/Lily from the books to the movies 'cause they explain it much better. Plus, the 'hugging a corpse' scene didn't happen in the books...

Yup, this applies to me too *joins*

Thanks for the translation justwantanaccount

Nice~! Only thing you need to work on is proportions, like with the hands and the body size in comparison to the head. (I'm a semi DraMione and full on Snape/Lily fan, so yeah~!)

@Sato: I think you misunderstood me with your first point. I said that 'if Sakurako was the culprit' then the action makes no sense and makes her out to be stupid, despite her being previously shown being clever. By pointing out an optical illusion she would make the others think about them for the later murders which is a bad idea if she wants to get away with them. The rest of what you say is all hypothetical and there isn't enough information for the evidence you've used to point to either Yonehara or the secretary. @DK: It's been said she was treated 'like a daughter' so why shouldn't she act like one? And her outburst after the son's death wasn't commented on in a way that showed the others were surprised by it (neither did anyone look shocked by it for that matter) so it can be said she probably shows her normal emotions to everyone. And if you're saying the culprit is the one the most well prepared then that would make it more likely to be the secretary as it's in her job description and she acts very organised. She didn't have that much of a reaction to the deaths either.

I suppose so, though the PM thing has a limit of... (I think) 50, I don't think it'd fill up too fast for them to not do it, I don't think they'd be away for more than a few hours. For your first point, there isn't really that much choice, over the course of a game it's very likely the amount will overspill. Point B, possibly just remind people in phase change posts...?

If you think it's the housekeeper a number of things don't add up, I've listed a few of them below. Also @DK: What's your opinion on the letter? Who d'you think sent it and why? Another thing I'm interested in is who was the real daughter of the first dead guy, it could be either of them or even both. I think that at least the maid is 'cause she tried to change the subject when Hattori asked her about it. However, that could be part of another possible motive. Stuff that doesn't add up in the 'housekeeper is the culprit' solution -The crying, why does she seem so upset over the deaths? You could say she's just good at acting, but there's been no foreshadowing of that at all which doesn't fit with how Aoyama usually does cases. -The tea, why would she offer the tea to others when it could implicate her. Remember that Hattori and Conan only figured out the evidence for the culprit when the tea was given out, the maid didn't open hers which could suggest she has poison on her hands but like I said before: Why implicate yourself? The only other strange thing about the time with the tea was the secretary not realising her train was gone, despite the fact that she'd previously been wearing her watch and checked the time with it so it couldn't be broken. Chekhov's explanation for this (the cyanide reacted with the bronze) works the best IMO. -If the company president always talked about how good Hattori was at deducting around the house then it'd make no sense to try and kill people while in his company. -Also, the maid pointed towards optical illusions by showing Hattori the bathroom, what's the reason for leading them to your murder method intentionally? Really, that'd be pretty stupid and from what we've seen of her so far she's fairly sharp. @Akakata: That's 'cause in the one where the son was killed only those two could have arranged the cake into the right positions for the optical illusion (the piece further away looking bigger) to work.
