If she's not a drug mule, is she a drug dealer?

Did she kill someone, producing this suicidal guilt?

Did seeing it was morning remind her of what she felt guilty about?

UNKNOWN, I'd say NO

NO

NO

I'd advise that someone makes a summary of the details up to now, that might help

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #611 on:** February 02, 2010, 07:28:36 PM »

The woman was alone in her room.
She was suicidal based on what she saw outside.
She was alone.
Her occupation was related to her death.
She was frightened because it was a beautiful morning.
She was some sort of psychic.
She was suicidal before seeing that it was morning.
The date may be relevant if more details are added.
She died of guilt based on her occupation.
'Occupation' is not a fitting term.
She partook in a shady business.

Was she a naysayer, panicking about the end of the world? She had expected the world to end, then died of grief when it didn't?

YES to all, except maybe the 'suicidal before seeing it was morning'. I think I answered wrong there, looking at my card again: She was only suicidal because when she saw it was morning. She did expect to die though.

YES, but there's more to it.

Quote

Pretty much YES, but there's more to the reason of suicide.

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #613 on:** February 02, 2010, 07:40:46 PM »

In that case, it's because she expected to become enlightened or rise to heaven. She then became suicidal when she realised her faith was misplaced.

NO. Now's the time to go for the 'occupation' again

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #615 on:** February 02, 2010, 07:53:25 PM »

Was her occupation religious? Scientific?

Was she paid for it?

Did she think her actions would end the world?

Was she intending to kill herself for some holy cause?

Was the woman the leader of a suicide cult?

What exactly would define a suicide cult? I'll give a YES to cult leader, though.

Spidere · « **Reply #618 on:** February 02, 2010, 10:06:56 PM »

Wild guess time.

Was she supposed to commit suicide yesterday?

Did the subjects of this cult leave her?

Subjects as in the other people? Kinda, YES.

Spidere · « **Reply #620 on:** February 02, 2010, 10:27:54 PM »

The woman was a cult leader. They believed it was the end of the world. The means they were to commit suicide didn't kill the woman, and when she woke up the next day, the world was intact and beautiful, the subjects were dead. Unable to handle the guilt, she killed herself.

CASE SOLVED!
Enough details have been uncovered and brought into connection to declare this case as solved. Please wait a bit for
post-game summary.

YES Except for one detail, but this way works as well.

The woman was the leader of a cult and had prophesized the end of the world for that night.
Most of the cult's members, including her kids, had taken poison so as not to have to experience the end of the world.
The woman herself wanted to face the terrible event and dismissed the poison.
When she realized that she had been wrong the next morning, she killed herself as well.

Hoho, it seems that one was a bit harder than expected, but you all did a good job solving it.
Though, looking at it now, finding the detail of a cult is pretty hard.
I will take a little break with the riddles again, so no new one will be up before tomorrow night.

Dead Princess Sakana · « **Reply #622 on:** February 04, 2010, 08:24:51 AM »

And now, it is time for the next riddle.
Please allow me to selfishly choose one that I may use for a slight self-insert. :V
This one is also a classic, so many might know the answer.

Dangerous Call
On the floor of a telephone booth there was a dead man.
In front of the booth lies a big ~~Sakana~~ fish.

Pesco · « **Reply #623 on:** February 04, 2010, 08:28:28 AM »

I know the answer.

Fightest · « **Reply #624 on:** February 04, 2010, 08:33:29 AM »

The usual set of questions then:

Was the man killed?
Was it suicide?
Was he aware that he was going to, or could die prior to walking into the booth?
Are the surroundings (barring the fish) relevant to the case?
Is the fish's size relevant to the case?

Did the man die of natural causes?
Did the fish prevent him from exiting the phone booth due to it being huge?
