When someone thinks they know who the murderer is, does that mean that the person is innocent?
I was just wondering becuase I noticed that the person who is guilty never seems to know who the murederer is.:)

Also, I was wondering, some skills I have automatically gotten without "paying" for them, like Thread Analysis and Sweet Talking. Does that just happen?

Thanks!:D

Nancy Drew wannabe is absolutely correct. If you choose the easy way of making a character, those skills will be based on your archtype. If you chose the advanced way, you got 20 skill points and could buy the skills yourself, with prices varying based on the archtype. About the first question, there are two true pieces of witness evidence and one false one. If someone thinks they know who the murderer is, it still could be that person who is the murderer if and only if they give the false option. You can usually tell apart the false option of the accused has a valid alibi or doesn't correspond with the rest of your evidence. Hope I helped!

Wait...That last sentence was the same as Nancy Drew wannabes...strange coincidences. Anyway, I wanted to clarify what I meant by "the accused". I didn't mean the person you accused, but the person the other suspect gives witness evidence against or is suspicious of.

I didn't get it. What do you mean with "false option"?

Midnight4: no. There is absolutely no useful connection between anything a person says about anyone else and their guilt.

Marcel, it means there is one piece of witness evidence that is not pointing to the guilty party. So when someone says that they saw so-and-so trying to wear the victim's watch as a thong or whatever, it doesn't always mean that so-and-so is actually guilty.

Probably pretty uncomfortable...but not necessarily guilty. There are a few threads about what theaccurate formula is for making an accusation floating around out there, but to save time please check out the 'welcome newbies' thing by cfm.

Just cause it seems like a popular thing to say...hope I helped, lol.
