Murder on the Prairie!

Who here has NOT played the Murder on the Prairie game from the main board? ARe you interested in playing?
I can copy the same murder mystery from the main board so that new players can guess who the murderer is....

I wish I could do a new one but I dont have any new stories made up yet lol

Let me know if you would like to play? :paperbag:

I've never played it before, but it sounds interesting!

I have never play it either but if it's the murder who it was before i know who that was

I will make this game go fast since most of us here have played it lol.
I have to come up w/ new ways to kill people, :haha: and have the stories ready so I can post them quicker than I did the last time.

Okay, Here are the Rules:
There will be a list of 10 Little House characters. Nine of those will be victims, 1 will be the killer.

I will post a short paragraph that will talk about the first victim being murdered and how the killer killed them. We then try to guess who, out of the 10, is the killer. Post who you think it is and why. Then the killer will strike again. Ultimately there will be four members left. There will be a poll to vote who is the killer. Once everyone has voted the killer will come forth lol. The banter to and fro from the members trying to blame each other and trying to figure out who is the killer makes for some fun posts.

**For those who have played, mums the word But you can also play along pretending you don't know who it is lol

=========================

Okay, the game has begun. Remember, one of the people below is the killer so what you read won’t be pretty… the person has become insane and is on the loose.

Below are the suspects. It is your job to guess which one of them could be and why. Remember, the killer will keep striking until there will only be two people left, one the killer, the other the last victim.

Laura Mr. Edwards Charles

Mary Grace Mrs. Foster

Caroline Mrs. Oleson Nancy



The Killer Strikes!
is the member being Killed:
Where they were Killed: The icehouse
Weapon: Dynamite

I had watched my target many times in her home before so I could learn her habits, I noticed every afternoon after coming home from school, her ma and pa would make her do her chores. One of them was to go to the ice house and get some ice to use in the store. One Friday afternoon, while she went out of town to buy some dresses I saw my chance to get rid of her once and for all! I snuck into the ice house and planted a few sticks of dynamite in there because I wanted to make sure she went out with a bang.

The next afternoon I watched from behind a tree as she came home from school and do her same routine, I smirked as she walked to the ice house in a puff. Apparently, she was upset about something because I heard her whining “But Mooooootherrrrr!”. She went inside the ice house and closed the door. Little did she know that was the last time she was going to see ice. I waited a little and then… BOOOM!!! It exploded. My job was done… for today at least.

I think Caroline done it. She's always so kind and sweet. Thats just a cover up if you ask me.

Laura? She had it out for Nellie and Nellie sure gave her reasons.

Maybe it was Mary? Nellie also gave her some good reasons to want to get rid of her..

The Killer Strikes Again

is the next victim.
Where they were Killed: A farm
Weapon: honey, one bag of chicken feed, and 16 starved chickens

I knew a lot about my next target, a young pretty girl, smart in her class. Some people said she was bossy. I figured she had caused people to not like her and in turn they might want to hurt her in the future… so it was time to get rid of her now. Hey, I’m doing her a favor aren’t I? Yeah, call me crazy, I don’t care! I followed her to a farm she seemed to visit a lot lately. I noticed she had a thing for birds. Well, that would be her downfall as I gathered the things I needed to set up my trap. A few hours before it was time for her come and see her precious birds, I headed to the farm to set up my plan. I cracked open the door to the coop and set the tub of honey on top of it and then set a string on the ground for her to trip over. That string would make a sack of chicken feed open and fall on top of her. I rigged it so when the door was opened everything would happen at once.

Later that day, I saw her walking towards the farm. I watched as she opened the door to the coop dropping the honey onto her, I then saw her step forward and fall as she tripped over the other string making the bird feed from the sack fall on her covering her from head to toe! Next, the chickens I hadn't fed in a few days were released and they pecked her. I heard her scream as the chickens were pecking her all over. After a while, it got silent. All I could see was the body laying on the dirt… motionless. I had done my job.

SUSPECTS!

Laura Mr. Edwards Charles

Grace Mrs. Foster Caroline

Mrs. Oleson Nancy

(People killed: Nellie, Mary)

Now I`m thinking Charles, crazy as it seems

Can I continue on guessing since I was wrong about Mary?

You sure can Debbie!

Everyon can guess as many times as you want and change their answers as you see more killings

Thanks, Carol!

I'm going to guess Laura.. That sounds like a Laura prank..

I think Mrs Oleson did it because she already lost Nellie

The Killer Strikes Again!

is the next victim.
Where they were Killed: The Hill near the post office
Weapon: Heavy mail package

It’s been days since my last victim… I was wondering if I should keep on doing this. But the thrill I got each time I committed a crime was a rush and it made me want more. I went to see Mrs. Foster the other day and asked if a package had come in for me.

“No… nothing today!” she answered very brightly.

Arrrrgh… I hated the way she said that! I have been waiting for a package for a while now and after seeing Mrs. Foster reply to me in a non-caring way, I figured it was time to get rid of her. Who would miss her? I don’t think people see her unless they come to the post office to get something.

One evening, after everyone had gone home, I saw Mrs. Foster leaving the post office. She stayed later than usual. I follow her up the road. She dropped something and turned around. I quickly hide behind an oak tree.

Did she see me?

I peek and see that she has continued walking. I decide to follow her again. I’m so close behind her now; I can hear her panting from climbing the steep hill. I can also sense she’s a little scared from hearing about the killings recently. I tap her on the back and she turns around.

"You" she cries.

I grab the thick mail package she had been carrying and slam her on the head with it.

Wow, what was in that package? Rocks?

Mrs. Foster collapses in front of me, like a puppet whose strings have been cut.

Well, looks like that package was well delivered.

SUSPECTS!

Laura Mr. Edwards Charles

Grace Caroline Mrs. Oleson

Nancy

(People killed: Nellie, Mary & Mrs. Foster)

I think now it's Nancy Because there was no present

I'm with Jacob on this one.. Sounds like Nancy!

Yes! The Killer Strikes!

is the next victim.
Where they were Killed: The circus
Weapon: Pistol

If there is one thing she likes, it’s money.
I knew that I could make her go anywhere if I led her to believe there was going to be money there.

For the past few days, I have seen these stupid posters of a circus coming to Walnut Grove. At first I hated the idea but then I thought… what better way to get rid of someone than in a crowded place? Nobody will suspect me.

The circus came this morning and tonight is when I strike. I grabbed my pistol which I ordered from the catalog and a piece of paper and pencil and took it with me to the circus.

It’s been an hour since I have been here. The circus is so loud it’s starting to give me a headache. I sit next to my victim all along and I prepare to move. I sneakily drop the piece of paper next to my victim’s feet. I tap her on the shoulder. She looks at me.

“Yes?”

“Is that your piece of paper down there?”

She looks down by her shoe, grabs the piece of paper and reads the note.
Come outside next to the elephant’s cage for some real fun. Crazy gambling, make tons of money!

She looks around her afraid if anyone else might have read the note. She looks at me and smiles. “Excuse me… I… I forgot something at the house” She takes off.

I laugh at seeing how easy it is to manipulate her. I see that the lion show is about the start, that is when people do the most screaming and I see my perfect time to do this. I also get up from the bench and go out of the circus to find her.

I laugh when I see her by the elephant’s cage trying to find a group of gambling people. I stand behind her now when she turns around with a confused look on her face.

“What are you doing here?” she asks.

I hold up a penny. “Looking to gamble? This penny says I can kill you right now” I said as I took out my pistol and pointed it at her.

She looked startled and surprised. “I don’t understand…what are you saying?”

All of a sudden I hear the lion roar and the crowd yells, it’s so loud, they will not hear a thing. I look towards the circus tent and back at her. She now understands nobody will hear and see what I’m about to do.

“No, please… what is this? What are you doing?”

That is when I shoot her. She falls on the ground.

I smirk and shake my head as I look down at the motionless body.
As I walk away, I look at my penny and flip it in the air. “A penny saved is a penny earned”.


SUSPECTS!
