That's right, folks. It's coming. I'm finally going to do it. You know you've been waiting for it ever since you saw my first court game.
WELL, GET READY, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!
...
What? No, I'm not about to leave the GOG forum.
It's the signup for the next Puzzlemaster's Court game!

For those of you who have no idea what this is, you can see the first game

here.
Essentially, it is a mystery where a crime has been committed, and the defendant has been dragged into court. Your job is to choose what clues you want to see, and determine from them, along with the advice of your fellow jury members, whether the defendant is innocent or guilty. To make things even more interesting, the person on trial will be a guest star, one of your fellow GOG members (no, not me, no matter how much you'd like it)!

For the new players, you should know the following:
1. Signups will be on a first-come, first-served basis, with some spots "reserved" for players of the first game who've stated that they want to be notified of this one coming.
2. Even if you don't make it in, you can still play! Instead of being part of the jury, you can be part of the audience! You will not be allowed to vote officially, but that won't stop you from sharing your thoughts and having fun! Plus, if a juror has to drop out for any reason (as gamefood did in the first game), you could potentially become a juror in their place (as ashwald did).
3. My mysteries are quite usually some hefty stuff. You might need to take notes. You have been warned.
4. While constant activity is not necessary, you will be expected to cast your vote when the time comes. I understand that you need time to think and that life sometimes gets in the way, but if you take long enough that the game seems to be dragging, I will give the other jurors the option to speed things along without you!

For the returning players, you should know the following:
1. Things have changed. A little. I've taken a few of your guys' suggestions.
2. The prizes are considerably better this time.
3. I'm still open to suggestions before the game starts.
4. Some of you who have expressed the desire to play the game again have received reserved spots. This is just because I made things on a first-come-first-served basis, and I want to make sure you didn't get left out in case a lot of people flooded in somehow. You can still choose to give up your spot if you so desire, of course.
5. I have been assured that the defendant does not have a gun.

Participants:
1. ZFR
2. Yezemin
3. sunshinecorp
4. DyNaer
5. Maxvorstadt
6. yogsloth
7. ashwald
8. ShadowPatriarch
9. vv221
10. Habanerose
11. REDVWIN
12. bler144

Prizes courtesy of gnostic and pimpmonkey2382.313. No, I'm not telling you what they are before you sign up. You're supposed to be joining in because you want to have fun, not because you want a game, ya greedy so-and-so!

WHAT? You're NOT leaving the forum? Damn... oh well...

I'm thinking about signing up even after my disastrous failure last time, but I don't exactly have the same amount of time I had. So if I sign up, I might be the one slowing things down this time. Unless I guest star in it? Dunno...

Sounds fun, count me in ;)

By the way, looks like you forgot the link to your previous game…
I’m curious to see how it went the first time!

-----

Oops, I just remembered that I might be far from Internet next week, so I’m in only if the game doesn’t start before that.

I, uh, have no idea what you're talking about.

Doesn't start before when, exactly?

It's tragic, I know, but what can I say?

Hey, you were still entertaining.
I'm waiting to hear back from somebody else at the moment, but if they turn me down, we could have you as the guest star, sure. Only if you don't wanna join, though.

My English is a bit messy, I get that I’m not always easy to understand ;)
(actually it might not be really better with my French)

I think I’ll have an erratic access to GOG forums from monday/tuesday up to sunday (21/02)…
So if your game starts on the 22nd or later I’d like to take part in it, but if it begins earlier I might not be able to come and check this topic daily.
Damn, I'm going to be super busy till around the middle of March. Stupid schedule :(

I was joking, pretending that I didn't make a mistake. It's been fixed now.

Hm. Well, we'll see how soon people sign up. It might take that long. I'll reserve you a spot for now.
OK, I'm in. Not sure if in for the prizes though.
Sounds like fun. I don't know if I will be any good at it, but count me in.
Well, crud. Looks like those scammers are finally causing me a bit of trouble. I can't edit my original post since my rep's too low to post links.
I hear there's a way around it. Lemme get to working on that and see.
Edit: Got some tips from some fellow negative-reppers and fixed it. We're back in business, baby!

Never fear! This will most certainly not be the last game.

Do I get to be the foreman as no.1?

Sure, but that means you'll have to grill food for the whole court.
Well, I'm in again. :P

You definitively should be, giving your rather sloppy job the last time (just think: the defendant walked into the court with a gun) :P

There, there. No guns from the defendant this time. I promise.
