Actually, it was Col. Mustard. But with the new redesign of the gameboard, he has been replaced by a football player. No more lead pipe, no more revolver: it's now a pistol. And there is a baseball bat, an ax, and a trophy. Professor Plum is now a dot.com video game designer and billionaire. Miss Scarlett has a first name: Cassandra. Supposedly just released this month. So if ya'll have the older game, hang on to it. I used to love to play clue on a rainy day like this, in the garage with the door open. We'd have scads of kids reading comics, playing cards, monopoly, or clue. Life was sooooo good back then. (Waaaaay back then.)............how the heck did that happen? and when?

Does the football player resemble anyone we know? Who might have gotten off for killing his wife?

Good job - did they also combine two of th ebedrooms possibly ? The Avery is like 3100 square feet - Wakegov. org lists the Cooper house at near 2800 - such as a Georgetown. However a Georgetown has an open view to the breakfast area - in that respect this house more resembles a flipped Avery. Both are listed as having the laundry room upstairs.

For me the laundry room location is rather important - seeing as how someone bought milk at 6:20, came home and noticed there was no detergent and then ran back to the store at 6:30. Quick trip home with time to spare looking for laundry detergent.

sorry if this has been answered already, but...

1. this ain't the right floor plan.
2. the W/D is on the first floor. Where exactly I dunno. But there is a first floor utility room.

I have one of those games and I feel you, Star...

...and is the "front stoop" considered a room?.....

 

[jmflu]

Just curious... who all is local? These are the ones I know for sure:
NCNative, Mom, Sleuthy, Reddress, Star, Topsail, CyberPro, Henry, and me of course...

NCN thanks for explaining the car mat.
i see dark red areas on that lampshade that appear to be blood to me. it may be a shadow or a reflection or even the pattern of the shade but i would not rule it out as being a bloodstain, not yet.

if it was a bloodstain, then BC would be locked up right now. Assuming her cause of death was blunt force trauma, which IIRC we haven't even seen a cause of death.

Oh, my. I have the same wonderful memories of board games. Clue, Yahtzee, Mononpoly...I loved the tournaments at the end of summer since there was nothing left to do. We'd keep them going for days. I just went and looked in the "game" closet. I have about everything BUT Clue. I never want to play the new one. I need to call my mom and make sure she hangs on to it if she has the old board.

This is funny! I had just called my Mom and told her to look for the game, and then came back and saw your post! She doesn't think she has the game, though--my parents moved to an apartment and got rid of a lot of stuff.

That's what I thought, but Star tells me NC's blood in her own home would not be cause for arrest.

Unless there is some very tricky way for them to tell the way the blood spattered and indeed match it up to a wound...

If there was blood on that lamp shade from a murder, it would be in other places in that foyer as well. Hardwood flooring is somewhat porus (sp) I believe, and hard to make devoid of blood.

 

[2Daughters1Dog]

The lampshade has got to be either somebody's mind playing tricks on them or a pattern in the shade. It ain't blood, that is for sure.

Regarding the celebration at JJ. Please come over to that thread, if you will. Thank you. (give me time to write what I need to say first)

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93417780 this tells about the new game. If i can't post this here, mods please delete.

"The weapons have changed, the characters have bios and the mansion has new rooms, like a spa, a theater and a guesthouse. And the company added an element of suspense with a second deck of cards."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The new game has nine weapons instead of six. There is no more lead pipe, and the revolver is now a pistol. The company also added a trophy, an ax and a baseball bat."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And they don't say just whoooo the football player is. But OJ was first in my mind, too. (Don't see how they could do that, though. Hey, when does his trial start? I think I read that a conviction could put him away for life.:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

 

[SleuthyGal]

d99gr81 is also local.

 

[FullDisclosure]

I'm local. Haven't been able to make any of the meet-ups, but if we have a clue tournament (old school style, of course) I'm there! :crazy:

 

[2Daughters1Dog]

Found it! Here's the Charleston by St. Lawrence Homes floor plan as it was in 2002.

I'm new, so let me know if I link it incorrectly. :crazy:

that is a lot of work, but...

a floorplan in 1993 and the same name floorplan in 2002 could be hugely different.

I'll point out any other differences if I see them once I compare the this picture to room measurements.

What does ETA mean (I always thought it mean "Estimated Time of Arrival")

 

[2Daughters1Dog]

in the Cooper house, all the other bedroom measurements don't match, FWIW. In the Cooper house, the "loft" had indeed been turned into a room. It doesn't appear the "floored storage" had been turned into living space.

and Wake Co tax records are notoriously off. Why the size of the house matters is beyond me.
