If you have 3 pieces of PE, and 2 of them point to suspects who have valid alibis, and the third points to the suspect whose alibi you were not able to check, is the third suspect guilty? The question is: does always one of the PE have to point to the guilty suspect?

Yes. I learned this the hard way. I was doing a hard favour yesterday, 2 WE pointed to a suspect/no alibi, which sad to say made me accuse wrongly. Next hard favour, I had 1 PE and 1 WE against a suspect/no alibi which also led me to the wrong person. Had to pay Shady to get rid of those 2 false accusations. This time around though, I am more careful in decisions and check and double check all people, information and relevant data.

If you've got 3 pieces of PE, and you've managed to identify all of them to suspects, and two of those suspects have real alibis, and the third has clammed on you, then yes, it's safe to accuse the clam of being guilty. There HAS to be one AND ONLY ONE guilty suspect in every case. If you've eliminated two of the three suspects, the third one MUST be it. Technically, yes, you're guessing, cause you don't have a verified alibi, but it's a fairly safe guess.

A couple of minor points.

1. With 3 PE it will be true as long as you have all the basic PE skills.
2. Sir Butcher I suspect that you mean that you accused someone who you did not know if they had an alibi as opposed to someone with no alibi.

No alibi means a suspect who when questioned says no I have no alibi. A suspect with no/nil alibi and either PE or WE is always guilty.

THANK you all, that was the way I understood it, but I don't want to make more false acc. (I had a bad experience with that), so I had to be sure. Once more, thank you all.
