I had one team out, so it was fun to watch all your reactions to clue-sharing and my idea for choices. :D

Anyhow, here's the deal:

1. There are nine possible clues, of which each team now has three.

2)If you choose to clue-share, you can get a fourth clue free.

BUT WE WANT TO LOOK AT ALL OF THEM!

Oh, really, you do? How would that happen? eyelashes bat Ah,the fun part!

3. You all have a full 500 points because you turned in your HAs of your characters. Judges were pleased, and, as usual, won't score the intro round since those are personal personas.

4. You may choose to spend up to half (250) points in increments of 50 each to gain clues from other teams. You may only accept ONE clue from each team you decide to trade with. If you add your freebie and they ones you have in, you can get up all the formation. It all depends on what you want to risk or not risk.

You have until 11:59 on Friday, January 16th, to send me the list of teams with which you exchanged clues and the clue you received. For example:

We're Nutsy's Acorns. We spend 100 extra points, and we now have: the whizbang from Wally's Walnuts (free clue), the superator from Petunia's Pecans, and the uppershaker from Amy's Almonds.

Risk more, gain more....maybe. Or go with what you have and hope you can glean what you need from one of the suspects or the police reports.

(You can't examine the body. You're all private detectives and not official. Bacina hired you to please her uncle. Does Poirot always examine corpses? Additional info will be forthcoming from the police to the family. naturally, you will share that.)

PS: You got from Nutsy's office in a limo that Bacina provided to take you to the shuttle.

pouts upon learning no getting to see the body It would have just helped proved even further that there wasnt a need for a dossier on me to people. PLUS I was on a completely different planet at the time.

I'm verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

Ravens contacted me and her net is out with no set date on when it will be up and running - is there any way you can send me the sMail you sent her for our team?

Will we be able to see who has which clues? Or is it a guess where we ask them for one, and only get to choose from their three even if you dont want any of theirs?

Or is it more a bug them for one you want and offer one of yours?

Aw, well, you know...

Sure. She wrote me also

Well, let's see what other think...

One big question:

If you are willing to trade, do you want the clues you got listed

OR

Do you want to talk to the teams and see what you can manage to be useful to both.

Definitely going with the clues listed. Seems transparent and every team knows what other teams are holding, which will be a blast when it comes to the clue sharing part. I suck at games of luck so spending points on something that we might have already would be a bummer. (;

I think it'd be nice to have them listed.

listed

: Oy Vey! I love Linda Richman! She's like buttah! She gives me shpilkes in my genecktegessoink! Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic, Peanuts are neither peas or nuts. Ok, I'm better now.

: why don't we just pay you for the rest of the clues? Team Sparrow has 250 points to spend and we are willing to have you post the clues we requested.

, my opinion...listing the clues is easier but if we have a little time, talking to the others can be a lot of fun and we can get to know different teams so I kind of like the "extra work".

Yea I like the idea of having them listed :)

Thanks!!

Another vote for having them listed please!

can we still change our decision to clue-share? I would really like to view all clues

And I'm very lost as to your big question, Rowan love

I would really love to have a master list, Rowan. It'd save a lot of time

would it be allowed to share clues /after/ talking to the suspects, or will that no longer be an option?

I would like to know what clues the other teams have so we would know what teams have the clues we missed.

I know...those were all classic SNL times. I am not sure why she popped into my head but she had. LOL

: No truer words have been spoken. one SNL.

, : My really big question is, after wandering all over the Subetaverse, flying to Squirrely's, getting on a shuttle, landing on an asteroid, looking over dossiers, wrangling clues….where are the cookies hidden? Just asking. I mean, cake would be nice, and perhaps some bacon and beer, but seriously…we're professionals darn it . Where are the cookies? What kind of host invites us all this way to do a job and offers no cookies and no bacon? Or no PEZ. All would be forgiven if there were PEZ.

Does getting a clue from another team mean we have to give them one of ours? Or can we buy a clue even if they don't need one that we have?

Just for you, lovie...Click! XDDD ROFLMBO!!!!

However, the rest of you can also enjoy it <3

I dont think put any cake out on my request. points at my siggy That would give everyone an unfair advantage with my dear team mate being driven into a cake induced coma. LOL So there should be cookies around here somewhere. Oh and keep an eye on shiny objects and possible disappearing... can't help herself.

And as for the rest of this. I have no clue about this clue thing.  *get it*  Are we suppose to solicit or can we sell ourselves on a corner? Be all "Hey all we chose this clue...come and get it..." And also do we have to tell the truth Or are you giving the clue to them once we agree.  I mean *looks around* Not everyone is what they appear to be with honesty  *straightens halo above head and tries to hide horns*
