I also wanted to say to Fr. G that he did really well, he had both Peacock and Rope on the previous round, he just got the room wrong. I think he played better than he thinks he did, and should not be discouraged.

Congratulations, rxwine!

I would be interested to know if you knew it 100% or if you felt your odds were better taking a chance than not. I had a ways to go on the room.

Also, thank you to miplet for adjudicating the game!

I would be up for a game 3.

I believe everyone should of have been down to 4 rooms except TheCesPit was down to 3. Someone not even playing should be down to 5. :+)

Thanks.

No, I didn't have it 100%. But I was saved by hitting that last one right off, because it would have been an educated guess otherwise. I felt like a couple choices had some indications for making them good picks, but it was never a sure deal until there were no disproves on the last one.

I was worried it wouldn't make another round so I was going to take a shot there anyway regardless.

My only other concern was of having made some other error up to that point on which cards I thought people had.

I was down to 3 rooms. Had the Library been wrong, I would have entered the Billiard room and forced it out, making either that or the Dining Room the answer. I made a strategic error in calling Mustard instead of Green into the Kitchen, realized it just after I did it but too late. I needed to isolate the Dining Room on that turn. That was the same turn I went to the Kitchen instead of the hallway to the Library door, but at that point it was a coin flip which way I went.

Here's my spreadsheet thru 6 rounds:

Interesting. I don't have you as knowing that it wasn't in the Hall, but maybe I missed something.
My spreadsheet that I used. Not really complete, but it worked for me. http://miplet.net/clue/game2.xlsx :+)

wow, compared to everybody I was way behind on rooms. I was feeling forced to have to guess, and going to guess the Dining Room.

Miplet, who had what cards?

I had the study and 2 weapons, lead pipe and wrench

I feel I made a bad mistake by flushing out peacock and rope [perhaps others already knew but...] I was for some reason expecting to find scarlet had the rope card and this would also mean the room solution was the conservatory [unobvious]. I didn't think out hard enough what it would mean to everyone for the other scenario, making peacock and rope obvious! I need to play better!

Congratulations Rxwine! Fun game!

I volunteer to manage the cards this time if no one else wants to do it.


Think long and hard [anyone] if you can be sure to show up at least twice a day, which needs to be different times altogether btw, of course the rare exception is OK.

I also have to say there is pressure to make no mistakes. Miplet, can you talk about what this was like for you?

Mrs. Peacock as known as The murderer on BBB's round 4 guess. I think only 3 people should have known Rope before your round 6 guess.

Fr. G, you had 3 cards of the same category, that really makes it hard I think, so you did well to get to where you did. It was without doubt a risky time to *not* accuse.
