So, I was thinking to myself.

So I says to my self; Self... What's a good way to pass the time?

Well other self..

The name of the game is for us to develop a short story with a pre-made plot line, Lets say for the sake of it being more fun, lets start the story like a Murder Mystery "Clue" we all know the characters, we all know the settings and we all know the weapons! Now! My idea would be for us to write a short story about this using what we know about the game itself, the people involved, the murder weapon and so forth. And once you've made your short story, post it on here!

So here is your writing amo! <3

The wealthy and rich Mr. Witherington Winston III (false name given to protect identity of the rich *lol* Wink

) is throwing his illustrious grand dinner at his Mansion. He has invited his closest friends Col. Mustard, Prof. Plum, Miss. Scarlett, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Mrs. White

There are several rooms in his giant mansion, floors, and secret passageways! (For visual effects Google Glue Board)
The rooms included, but not limited to
The Main entrance
The Hall
The Lounge
The Study
The Kitchen
The Ballroom
The Billiard room
The Conservatory
The Dining Room

And, as we all know how this works, Mr. Witherington Winston III must die by one of these weapons!
Dagger - found in the lounge

Rope - found in the ballroom

Lead Piping - found in the conservatory

Candlestick - found in the dining room

Revolver - found in the study

Wrench - found in the kitchen

If you'd like some idea's to get started on your writing project, I suggest you watch the 1985 film Clue!
So, remember, post them up here to see how many different ways poor, rich Mr. Witherington will die, who will kill him and with what weapon!

You can even be silly and write a small sentence or paragraph and maybe someone else can add in a paragraph until the mystery is solved!, I dunno! I'm just really, really bored and have a lot of creative energy at the moment.

Hi Leelee,

I myself have never played Cluedo (i'm sure that's our Australian title anyhow), may just be "clue" in other countries.

lwas/am still a Monopoly man myself. I only have the "simpsons" version, although I have played the original and the Australian version as well.

I assume in this game, we pick a room and a weapon and a murderer, am I correct?

Col. Mustard said, "E-5", and prepared the white peg for what he thought was miss.
This final peg would put into effect his sweeping strategy that woudl eliminate his opponent, thereby, adding yet another "W" to the honorable Mustard name and adding another name to the list of envious pretenders to the Throne of Victory that has belonged to him since he volunteered all those years ago...

... "Hit" replied Mr. Green, in an anguished voice.

"You sunk his battle ship!" Declared Miss Scarlett and cheered on from the sideline in what could only be known as the battleship war of 2012.

This changes everything, thought Col. Mustard.

Chills ran down his otherwise steel spine. This hit was more than just a game changer for Green...

... it was an epiphany. What was Mustard doing here? And why today?

The anticipation and the tension could be cut with a knife, which so happened to be found in the lounge where the tense game of battleship was being played.

No this was more than just a mere game of battleship, this was war!

Miss Scarlett; a mere spectator falling off the edge of her seat waiting for the next vital move.

You should use this in your baits. Wink

Said Professor Plum, while examining an exquisite example of Colonial Period silverwork. A candlestick passed to him by non other than the egnigmatic Mrs. White.

"What's it used for?", asked Mr. Body.

I've used the characters. Never got busted on it by a lad, either. Much to my amusement. Laughing

"I do not like the look of this Keith", said Col. Mustard caressing the butt of his favorite revolver, which was hidden deep in a special pocket of his smoking jacket.

It was an old "Pepperbox" muzzleloading design. Old, but immaculately kept.

If he gets squirrely, he'll have lead for it.

The Bishop moved away, at a sort of 45 degree angle, "I'm just going to look for a bit of rope" he said, as he sidled out of the room.

Col. Mustard ambled slowly through Park Lane and then into Mayfair before realising he was in the wrong game.

Fortunately Mrs Peacock's rum-addled cry of "Mornington Crescent!" brought everyone to their senses. Cradled in a big comfy chair, the elderly Mrs P dropped gently back into her drunken slumber. An air of embarrassed hesitation settled on the room...

An air that was finally broken by a dog barking excitedly outside. The guests were bemused to discover that 4 days had gone by since their last actions. "Aliens!" cried a nervous Plum.

Miss White looked out of the window, "that's Simpkins the gardener, he just looks a bit weird"

"Here Colonel, drink this....."

The Col' eyed the small vial. It looked purplish greyish green, odd in otherwords.

However, being a man of the world, the Col. took the medicine as presented.

Then he woke up...

... to find Miss Scarlett sitting in his room, giving him a look that he didn't like very much.
"Velcome back, Herr Colonel" she said in a husky, slightly accented voice and, walking slowly to him, removed some items from her shoulder bag and placed them one by one onto his bed.
The Colonel blinked, drowsily staring at the items: a dagger, a pistol, a lead pipe, a candlestick, a wrench and a short length of rope.
"What do I...." he started to say
Miss Scarlett cut him off with a wave of her hand.
"Kill ze owner of zis house, by midnight, I don't care how you do it"
"What if I refuse!" spluttered the Colonel.
Miss Scarlett went to the door, turned and gave a sultry smile that the Colonel again didn't like very much.

"Then your wife gets the photos of you and me, big boy"

She turned and opened the door....

and walked straight into the broom cupboard.
"Zhit!" she said, then swept out of the room.
The Colonel looked at the items in dismay. An idea struck him

Posted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 7:44 pm

... right between the eyes - which is an indication that it was a real quality idea.
He vaguely recalled a newspaper article in the Waddington Times about the Rev Green and his organ.
He had to find out more! But how? He quickly got dressed and scurried from the room....

into the Conservatory. Mrs. Peacock raised her eyebrows,

"Up and about already Colonel?" she asked.

He smiled at her.

"Yes, yes. A bit much last night, eh?" he managed to get out. Speaking seemed more difficult than usual. His mouth felt filled with cotton.

Awkward.

The Professor burst in to the room, "The monkeys are loose! No sudden moves!"

so the Colonel gripped his banana tightly just as Miss Scarlett walked into the room pointed at it and exclaimed 'Look at ze bend in that' before being roughly pushed aside by a........
