Poirot Murder Mystery

Short version of rules, check the discussion thread here for a more detailed ruleset.

Day Actions:

The innocents can investigate one murder scene for one type of clue in blue every day. They will get the results of this investigation via PM at the end of day. They can also accuse someone in red, but if they're wrong, both the accuser and the accused are removed from the game.

The murderer can remove one clue or plant one fake clue per day on one murder scene. He must investigate this clue in blue to have the opportunity to do so, however.

Night Actions:

The innocents can investigate one person's room for two aspects of said person by PMing their target and the clues they're looking for to me. They will get their results at the start of the next day.

The murderer has the following options:
The murderer can kill one person every two nights. This will open up a new murder scene however.
He can try to mask one aspect of his own, fooling anyone who would investigate his room that night. This only lasts one night.
He can try to mask one aspect of someone else. Same as above.
He can follow a passenger to determine who they are investigating and for what clues.

The murderer can ALSO investigate one person's room for two clues.

A scream in the night...

The news of the Count's murder hit you with mixed feelings. You all had reason to want him dead, but apparently someone had beaten you to the punch. Everyone's first thought was to head to mister Poirot...

...but that had evidently been the murderer's first thought aswell. Poirot was, despite the poison, still alive. But only just barely, he was in no shape to lead an investigation. It seemed as though you would have to catch this murderer yourself.

The seven of you arrive at the Murder Site of Count Fritchi Mitoslev.
It's difficult to gather any clues with absolute certainty at a mere glance. You'll have to be thorough in your investigations, constantly remaining on the lookout for false leads and misdirections.

What will you look for? (put this in blue)
•Footprints
•Fingerprints
•Strands of hair
•Minor clues
•Clues in regards to the murder weapon that was used
•Clues in regards to the motive behind the murder
The results of your investigations will be PM'd to you at the end of this day phase.

You can make accusations at any time during the day, but they will only count as 'official' accusations if they are put in red. No majority vote is needed to arrest someone. If you are wrong about your suspect, you will lose the game however.
