Also, the first round of the MML is now over. I'm pleased to say that 4 out of the 5 teams managed to correctly identify their murderer. Only one team requested a clue. And so the points after one round are as follows:

Tarentum: 5 points
CSP: 5 points
Byss: 5 points
CSK: 3 points
DC: 0 points

...but there still are 3 rounds left to go. The second round of mysteries have been sent out. Good luck!
