I have a couple of questions I'd like some feedback on. Please Answer by replying to this post.

1) Is the game fun? Really fun, kind of fun, funner than going to the dentist?

2) Can you think of anything that would make the game more fun?

3) Is the game too hard? Too easy?

Thanks

I have a bunch of papers littered around my computer, all with lists of people and alibis, and checks and Cs and Ss, and all sorts of odd freehand stuff.

wow!
I never take notes...

I have to. I forget *everything*, so if it's not written down, then it didn't happen.

I've never been able to do it without taking some kind of notes. At least, not past Hard level, or so. Excel works well. In fact, I usually lay out Featured Mysteries in Excel first, before actually writing them.

I'm using pen and paper. I know, kill more trees. :)

Alibi. They basic to this game is alibi.

Check out the most excellent Help File, especially Tips on Solving Cases.

Are you saying that a person with a fake alibi and a piece of evidence pointing to them can be innocent?
I believe you are mistaken. Such a thing never occured to me.
Did you actually verify that their alibi was fake??

Yes, same as kouraditsa.

A person with false (or none) alibi and evidence pointing to them will always be the killer. That's what I've experienced so far, too.

Sometimes, when I accuse wrongly, I realise it's because I had taken the wrong notes. If not, then it could be a bug.

Also, the real killer definitely has evidence pointing to him or her. It's just that they might not have been recovered at the crime scene, or because suspects clam up before you have asked them the questions pointing to the right killer.
