So it has been over two years since I abandoned the last iteration of Black Stories on MotK due to ~*~circumstances~*~. I had almost forgotten that I ever ran this game, until...
Yesterday a certain shim brought the topic up again. So here we are again, it's time to dust off the case-cards and start working those brains!
The old thread - containing links to all previously solved cases - can be found hereBut before we begin, let me greet you and explain what you are going to do here.
Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am honored that you have followed my invitation once more.
I see before my eyes right now some of the finest detectives this world has to offer.
Now I am sure you wonder for what reason I might have called you.
Tonight, I shall present to you riddles, cases and mysteries that yearn for solution.
It shall be your task to take what I give you and work your way towards the truth.
So take a seat, have a tea and sharpen your minds, for our game shall begin now.
In this thread I want to invite all of you again to play the game 'Black Stories', which I'm sure many of you know by a lot of different names.
The game is simple:
I will give you a short description of a case, only a bare minimum of facts.
Your goal is to resolve the case and find the truth behind the events there.
To reach that goal, you will ask me questions that I will answer.
So, here are the rules:
> Every question you give me must be answerable with 'Yes' or 'No'
> I will answer with 'Yes, 'No' or 'Irrelevant/ Unknown'
> To solve a case, simply state the truth of what happened. I will then tell you if you are right or - if you are wrong - which parts are correct.
> There might be situations in which I may provide a little more information than just Y/N (i.e. if you're horribly stuck), but I will ask beforehand if you want me to reveal anything
> At points, it might be helpful for you to try and sum up the information you have gathered. I will then state whether your summary/ conclusion is correct.
> Everyone may post as often and with as much questions as he/she wants to, even if I have not answered their previous question yet, but please don't overdo it (No 20 questions in one post, for example)
> I will try to answer as often as possible, but due to time zones I might not be around during the most active times. Please bear with me there.
>The riddles all consist of events that are possible, however often improbable, in the real world. Riddles where the use of supernatural explanations is allowed will be specified as such.Some more meta information:
Be fair and don't answer to riddles that you know the answer for from the start. A number of those cases might be widely known around the world, maybe with slight variations so if you are not sure if the riddle you know is the same one I'm asking, simply PM me.
If anyone knows a riddle he/she wants to let people solve, simply say so in the thread or PM me.
