The man was rather attractive. He also worked with the funeral parlor. This woman fell madly in lust with the man. And I mean madly. To the point she'd kill her sister just to see the man again.

I don't understand why she didn't just go to the funeral parlor or whatever to meet him

YES. As expected, Lady Kitten, a nice description of the events. He's not a funeral worker on my card, so that'd answer your last comment, but it's a silly act nonetheless.

The woman fell madly in love with the unknown man at first sight.
But he disappeared right after the funeral, without her knowing his name.
She hoped to see him again at her sister's funeral.

A simple case with an incredibly simple answer,
but strangely enough those often take more time to solve than more complex cases.
The questions asked in this game were very nice and accurate, a beautiful teamwork between you players.
I'll have to ask you, dear players, to wait a bit before the next riddle again.
I have some work till late night today, and will therefore only be back around midnight.
So around that time, the next riddle will come.

I've heard this one before, but I remember hearing 'if you know the answer to this one before someone tells you, you have the mind of a psychopath'.

Alright, time for the next one.
This one I chose by randomly drawing from the cards, and it turned out to be another classic and not too difficult.

Twelvth Case: Simple Murder
Romeo and Juliet are lying dead on the ground, the window is open.

The ⑨th Zentillion · « **Reply #484 on:** January 30, 2010, 11:43:18 PM »

Romeo and Juliet, wanting their love to last forever jumped out of a window several stories up and died from the impact.

Chaore · « **Reply #485 on:** January 30, 2010, 11:44:18 PM »

Did one die before the other?

Spidere · « **Reply #486 on:** January 31, 2010, 12:11:41 AM »

It was merely a play being put on.

Sorry, know this one. I know way too many of these, don't I? >_>

It's OK, I do too. :3

EDIT: That is, both "know this one" and "know way too many" too.

Is Shakespeare involved? :V

I'm sure I've heard it before but can't recall the details atm.

Nah, don't worry, there'll be ones that you don't know. (There definitely will, I assure you, and if I have to create them myself :3)
Also, this one is, like, amongst the first five riddles I had ever known. A classic, as I said.

Are the two of them humans?

When we hear the answer, we're going to feel like we were trolled?

Simple.

A cat knocked down a fishbowl on a windowsill, killing two fishes named Romeo and Juliet.

YES

Romeo and Juliet were fish.
A cat entered through the open window and knocked over their fishbowl.
Being robbed of the water to live, both fish died on the floor.

*EDIT: I'll revise this paragraph, because I went a bit overboard here.
Just a word to Thundr:
I feel that you may have been getting answers from elsewhere, especially in the Mayor case.
I would be delighted if you culd prove me wrong.
Anyway, I have made my stance on the matter clear before:
Please don't solve if you didn't get the answer by yourself.
If you think you know it from somewhere else, inform me and I'll tell you how we will handle it.
Usually I will tell you to give the others a push in the right direction when necessary, or, if the game has progressed enough already, I'll allow you to solve. Fair and simple.*

Aaaanyway, here's the next case, this one is an original by a friend of mine, so I assure you it's highly unlikely that anyone will know the answer from the start.
I will explain how this one came into existence afterwards, the story is quite amusing.

Thirteenth Case: Tram of Death
Thomas got on a tram.
A bit later, he was dead.

Prody · « **Reply #503 on:** January 31, 2010, 10:07:48 AM »

Was there a reason why he got on the tram?

Did something happen before he got on the tram?

Was the death suicide?

Was the death intentional?

For an expectedly easy case, you could give him the benefit of doubt. But if the GM deems something is game ruining, I'll investigate.

Was the tram travelling downhill?

Travelling uphill?

Under controlled operation?

Have any other passengers?

He has the benefit of doubt, of course, and I won't do anything unless I have a real reason. I value everyone who plays here with me, that includes Thundr.
But I'd rather call out to someone a bit too early than too late.
Everyone's welcome to play and guess, just play fair please.
