JJ Games: Team 6 (Clarification pg 1, First Update pg 2)

Your jobs are quite simple:

1) The detective’s job is to find the right killer from the 4 suspects. The detective will get 10 questions per person, thus a total of 40 questions.

2) At any point, the detective can make an accusation with one from motive or opportunity. Motive = the reason behind the murder. Opportunity = the chance to commit the crime.

3) If the detective is right, then the detective will win 50 points, the murderer will get 10 points, and the remaining suspects will get 25 points.

4) If the detective is wrong, the murderer will get 50 points, the suspects who weren’t accused will get 25 points, and the suspect who was accused and the detective will get 10 points.

5) If the detective makes no accusation, then the detective will not get any points and will be eliminated, and the other team members will all get 25 points. The point is to make an accusation and don’t worry you will be able to make back the points in future rounds.

6) The detective will only have one chance to make their accusation and both the name and motive, or opportunity need to be right to win the game. If either one is wrong, then it will be considered wrong. Remember a suspect can only be tried when there is enough evidence.

7) You will only have 72 hours to solve the case. After 72 hours, the case will be reassigned to FBI (as in it’ll be deadline for you). Thus, the deadline is Oct 30th 1 AM IST. There will be no extensions. If a member of your group is missing, then please let me know asap and I will fill in while that member will be eliminated.

8) All discussions can only happen in the threads created for you.

9) Note that this round is special as there will be no eliminations except for detectives who don’t make any accusations or people who don’t play the game at all. So play away!

The setup – A new restaurant, Blind, has opened up in town. It’s a restaurant where you eat completely in the dark so that you cannot see your food. You, the detective, are having dinner with a friend when suddenly there is a scream in the dark. This leads to 4 other people screaming and the lights are immediately turned on to find the source of the screams. You rush towards the screams to find a man slumped over the table, bleeding from his head. You check his pulse and find that he is dead. There are 4 other people sitting with him and you immediately suspect them to be guilty as the restaurant was virtually empty (there was only a senior couple sitting at the other end of the restaurant and no staff was on the restaurant floor at the time of the screams). You lock down the restaurant and sequester the 4 suspects in 4 different rooms and then you spend time questioning each suspect as the forensics team gathers the evidence.

Additional information – The victim’s name is David Abraham. He was a 40 year old tech tycoon who was having lunch with his 4 senior executives. The lunch was his first step in testing who would be the best fit for his position as CEO and CTO of the company as he was planning on retiring in a year and was going to promote one of his executives to his position. His 4 executives are the CFO, the CIO, the CMO, and the COO (note that each suspect has been assigned their role and this has been stated in the thread to make your job easier).

IMPORTANT NOTE – At 2 points throughout the 72 hours I will drop some information from the forensics and other officers investigating the case in the threads. This is information that will help the detective take the case forward. If the detective makes an accusation however, I will not give this information as that group will be considered completed.

Hi guys

let the game begin

Hola!! I was wondering where the thread was. Let's see how well we do!! 

hello detective....

so how s interrogation goin😎

Hello from the CMO 👍🏼

Hi all,

A few points of clarification.

• Only the people who don't play at all will get eliminated. I gave the detective as an example. As long as you play, and even if you don't accuse anyone, you will still go through to the next round. I'm basically eliminating people who disappear (so anyone I need to fill in for).
• Character sketches are very basic. Please feel free to fill in colour as you please.
• No 2 teams will play alike. So please do not rely on other teams' threads to answer your questions or to get question ideas from.
• Detectives can ask the same question of all 4 suspects. It will count as 1 question per suspect, thus reducing the count by 1 across each suspect. For example, in a few teams the first question was asked of all 4 suspects. That means the detective has 9 questions left per suspect.
• Accusations can either be made in the thread or by PM. Once an accusation is made, I will lock the thread down and tell the team their result in PM. Please tag me if you make the accusation in the thread.
• Detectives you've been given a starting point in the first point of the thread. Please use that to start your questioning. At 2 points I will give more information (as if someone investigating brought an update) to further your questioning. You will not know when these times are. I will just randomly post in your threads at some point.

where are you namita dear?

Note 1 – Officers examining the 4 suspects’ backgrounds will find out the following information – (1) The CFO has an account in Switzerland and had a ticket booked for a one-way trip to Switzerland in a week. (2) The COO had a sister who was raped and murdered in college and the case was never solved. (3) The CIO used to work in another company previously where she had an affair with the CEO, got a big payout, and then quit and moved to the current company. (4) The CMO has been using the identity of a baby who died over 50 years ago and matches the description of a con artist wanted in 4 countries.

Sorry peeps. I am here.

Here go the questions: 

1. Were you and the victim on good terms?

2. What was your reason for coming here tonight?

Starting with 2 questions. Everyone gets the same one. Please answer them.  Be honest, for I shall know lies!!
