Added when shouldn't be eliminated: Flail (#9)
Not sure when should be eliminated: Clawed Gloves (#7), Garden (#4)
Not sure when shouldn't be eliminated: Scythe (#9)
Missed when should be eliminated: -
Well, 4 mistakes in 55 eliminations... That's about 93% correct, I think. I think I can be satisfied with myself. :)

BTW, if anybody cares, here's my private WIP elimination list. Yes, I've eliminated Flail mistakenly. :P

PS: Thanks again to _Slaugh_ for the exhaustive statistics. :)

Awesome! Congrats all around to the investigative team.

Things will be much more peaceful around the GOG Manor with this case in the books. Or at the very least, a number of us will have a lot more free time on our hands ;)
