硬碟損毀 1/28-2/23資料遺失
好可惜...
我現在電腦裡面有前幾天收集的2/26的內容,之前的有1~2次meeting資料存在公司的電腦,有需要的話,等上班後再貼上:)
以下是Kate,本週六(2/26)的Host所張貼的內容,供大家參考:)
====
Have you ever dreamed to be a detective?
Harry Silver and Amy are detectives in this story. Amy had a natural skill of looking at things and deducing exactly what must have happened. Can you match Amy's talent for deduction? Read the story first. I will provide further information in the meeting. Everyone should examine the crime scene carefully and find out who is the murder.
=============================================================
Background of Harry Silver and Amy
Lieutenant Harry Silver had been a good, conscientious detective for over twenty years, but had never been a star. And then one day his daughter Amy knocked on his door. She was moving back home to try to recover from a disastrous first marriage.
The first time Amy joined her father at a murder scene it was a fluke. But Amy had a natural skill, an uncanny way of looking at things and deducing exactly what must have happened. Detective Silver followed his daughter's hunch, solving the murder in record time. Before long, he was sneaking Amy onto all sorts of police-restricted sites and using her to solve the thorniest of cases.
Amy's personal life is recovering slowly. But everywhere she goes, crime seems to follow. On her first serious date since the divorce, a murder occurs. And when Amy applies for a job in the mayor's office, the mayor gets killed. Even a party with her old high school friends culminates in a theft.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death of a Scrooge
Every neighborhood has its resident curmudgeon, some dyspeptic homeowner whose job it is to yell at noisy children and call the police about dogs in the flowerbeds. In Amy's youth, that role had been played by Mr. Weaver, a bachelor living in the area's largest, finest house.
It was now a few days before Christmas, and Amy was shocked to see holiday decorations going up on the Weaver house. She approached a boy of about 20 who was stringing the lights. "Does Mr. Weaver still live here?" she asked hesitantly.
"Sure does," he said. "I'm just the hired help. Buck Anderson."
"Amy Silver!" shouted a familiar voice. Amy had to resist the childhood reflex to turn and run.
Edgar Weaver stood in the doorway, older now, and with an uncharacteristic smile. "Amy. Good to see you. Come step inside for a little Christmas cheer."
Amy's perplexed reaction made the old man laugh. "I know. Scrooge sees the light. But it's true. Couple weeks ago, I had this dream, like Scrooge, and it changed me. I've been sour and selfish for so many years. I thought Christmas would be the perfect season to start fresh."
Old man Weaver escorted Amy into a living room decorated for the season. Christmas carols played on an old turntable.
"My sister out in California always sends me a photo card of her family." He pointed to half a dozen cards hanging from the mantle. "A pretty pathetic collection of Christmas cards this year. But wait till next. I'll be a regular Santa. I'm already starting."
Edgar and Amy strolled to the kitchen at the rear of the house, where they found two young women and a man laughing and cooking dinner. "Amy, these are my nieces and my nephew. Three out of four, anyway. I haven't been in touch with any of my family in 10 years."
Amy was introduced to the jovial trio: Jonathan, Rhoda, and Ginger.
"I can't believe we live so close and we never got to know Uncle Eddy." Ginger gave the old man a hug.
Edgar almost blushed. "Right after my dream, I got in touch with everyone. Begged their forgiveness for my stingy, solitary ways. Then I hired Buck to help fix up the old mausoleum."
"Looks like a celebration," Amy said, eyeing the roast and the champagne bucket on the counter.
"We're celebrating our inheritance," Rhoda crowed.
"Yep. I changed my will," Edgar confirmed. "Everything split between my nieces and nephews. Amy," he added with sudden inspiration, "will you join us for dinner? Please. As an apology for confiscating your football. And your baseball. And..."
Amy accepted, on the condition that she be allowed to help cook.
"Great," Edgar said. "And while you're cooking, I'll finish trimming the tree."
Jonathan volunteered to help, but Edgar insisted on doing it alone. "Someone was telling me about their family tradition. The patriarch decorates the tree by himself, then gathers everyone together for a Christmas toast. A great idea."
Amy turned out to be the best cook of the bunch and before she knew it, she was alone in the kitchen, making the gravy and starting the vegetables.
After a few minutes, she began to feel uncomfortable. Here she was in old man Weaver's kitchen, cooking for a family of strangers. "Hello!" Amy turned down the heat and walked into the dining room.
A crash reverberated through the house, momentarily drowning out the carols. Something had fallen. Amy's first thought was the Christmas tree, and she headed straight for the living room.

謝謝Lydia的期待與等待,
還有謝謝Austin的大力號召與捧場.
Kate從小就是偵探小說迷,
或許也因此喜好觀察旁人的小動作,
雖然當不了福爾摩斯或科南,
但卻可以訓練敏銳的觀察力和邏輯推理能力.
這次的偵探遊戲和上回的murder party有點不大一樣,
murder party目前在歐洲一些國家非常流行,例如英,法
參予聚會的每個人都會扮演謀殺案中的一角.
並依餐點的送餐順序,必須依腳本進行某些對話,
而對話中則會暗示這次謀殺案中誰的動機最為強烈.
遊戲的進行主要是角色扮演和推理的型態.
Kate還記得承諾要在星期六要辦一次murder party,
但考量週三由Austin所主持,精采可期的Annie Hall應該會讓大家過足了戲癮,
所以改玩偵探遊戲,我將於會中提供進一步的資料,
包括在場人的證詞,現場物的描述,
讀者猜測的數據,Amy推理的邏輯,
利用小組合作的方式來找出兇手.
Murder party就先欠著囉...

想辦法自動備份
這個月的po文都很讚, 的確可惜了.
我會想個自動備份的方法, 希望日後即使掛站了, 也可以讓損失小一點...
