If you look at that player table, you'll notice that a task isn't next. The letters 'SITD' are.

SITD stands for a Stab in the Dark.

At this point of the game, I put it to the players to decide who they think the Killer is. You must do this by PMing me the name of the player (that's player, not character) you think is the Killer. You know the names of all but three of them - and that doesn't seem very fair, so we may as well fill in the blanks now:

You've had clues on almost all of their characters in the stories, news articles and crime scenes that Dezzy and I have come up with, but understandably this will very much be a hunch. Consider the following:

- How helpful are they with tasks? If they're not trying too hard, maybe they feel like they don't have anything to lose because they can't die. But maybe if they're trying really hard, they could be overcompensating...
- Who's been killed so far? Who would have made those decisions? Has the Killer been one of the "surviving" players? Or has he/she been coasting through quite safely?
- Who do you think would be good at keeping secrets?
- What clues have I been dropping? In the thread, or elsewhere?
- And if you are indeed the killer - because you get a vote as well - who do you think the others will gun for?

After I've received all of the 11 votes, I will announce to the forum how many votes each player received. I will not reveal who voted for who, until the game is over, so don't worry about any form of revenge coming back to you. What happens to the player with the most votes is yet to be seen: in previous In Cold Blood games, they've been killed, they've been arrested if they were indeed the killer, they've ridden off into the sunset alive... so for now, just vote for whoever you think the Killer is.

You may not discuss your decisions and suspects at all. You have 24 hours to make your decisions (but I would appreciate some haste). Failure to vote will result in one vote being cast against yourself.
