Ok, a recap of the rules. They are pretty simple.

1. I will post a crime scenario.

2. Each individual can only ask 1 "Yes or No" question on this thread.

3. Once your question has been answered you may ask another, but only after your question has been answered.

4. All players can post questions at the same time, but only 1 per person. I repeated that cause people dont tend to remember the rules very well.

5. Your job is to figure out the crime. I will post specifically what you need to figure out at the end of the mystery.

6. Search the forums for "Crack the case" if you need more understanding of whats going on.

The Case of Yosemite Slim

     Ratso, a sleazy cowpoke, walks into the blacksmith shop in Bodunk, Texas. He plops a saddle on the counter and asks for $50 dollars for it. The Blacksmith quickly buys the saddle, calls for the sheriff and has Ratso arrested for the murder of Yosemite slim.

You must figure out on what grounds was Ratso arrested. Meaning, how was he connected to it?

Good luck, this is an easy one so it shouldnt take long.

Nate

Yes, the saddle did belong to Slim

nate

yes, once your question is answered you can ask another question. as for your question... I dont know.

another clarifier, i have a few anwers i can use: Yes, No, Please rephrase the question, dont know, irrellevant, yes and no, and maybe.

nate

oh, and you asked earlier if slim was still in the saddle and i said i dont know. the answer to that question is No. sorry, i wasnt paying much attention i guess.

nate

ill break that compound question down.

did it have any marking? yes and no

was it initials? no

nate

yes and no. (you might be on to something 3j, but your question is too vague.)

nate

Did the blacksmith recognize the saddle as Yosemite's?

Yes, the blacksmith was the one who recognized it. But now you gotta figure how.

nate

yes and no. they werent really markings persay. there was something that on the saddle that he did recognize. might want to figure out what Yosemite Slim did before he was killed. that MIGHT help. not sure.

also, there are 2 clues that everyone can agree on getting.

nate

did he know because he had that saddle custom made for slim?

yes. and for that i will call this a closed case.

basically the story goes like this, the blacksmith and yosemite were good friends. yosemite struck it rich with gold in them their hills. the blacksmith knew it wasnt safe to have all that gold out in the open so he sewed the gold into the saddle. so when ratso tried to sell the saddle for only $50 the blacksmith knew that something was wrong. upon inspecting the saddle it was found to be lined in gold and ratzo was arrested for the murder of yosemite.

nate

my yes was for jimi not DEP lol no pooping occured on the saddle lol

nate

loved this game - i bought it for a buck at A garage sale!

my friend, Redstorm on here, bought it for 75 cents at a garage sale. its great. i love it.

nate

lol yeah i realized what i did. i didnt mean to try and one up him or anything though. just showing how cheap you can find that game. its really well created. some stories are a bit too vague to get into them, but most of them are pretty good.

nate

doubt its in stores. you could find it on ebay or something like that im sure. trying to remember who made it, parker brothers? might check their website.

nate

actually, its milton bradley/hasbro. i found copies on ebay. thats probably your best bet. you can probably get it for pennies.

nate

i found this page on ebay...not exactly pennies lol
