So, I kind of crossed a Moral Event line during some Mobile Murder Mystery Game. I had been playing for like two days in the real world and by the game was almost over, I felt fatigued(This Murder Game was rrally challenging, LOL, :D When it came to the last Suspect and the Investigation had deemed the rest innocent, I was asked if the Last Suspect's footprints looked like the killer's footprints. My mind clearly said,"The Last Suspect's footprints are clearly different than the killer's footprints." But I also thought,"The investigation deemed the other Suspects innocent and he's the ONLY Suspect left, I'm fatigued from this challenging game, so book him!" It didn't help that the last Suspect's alibi was one of the WORST Alibis ever, "I was in my home alone working out when the victim was murdered in the Alley.," admitting tnat you were WORKING OUT around the time someone was MURDERED is about one of the worst things to say. What's to stop Investigators from thinking you were WORKING OUT in order to get stronger in order to kill someone more easily? :/

I said "Yes, the Killer's footprints and the last Suspect's footprints match!(Although they were CLEARLY DIFFERENT footprints) I got the answer wrong and then even more clues came to light and the Investigator said something like,"One of the previously deemed innocent Suspects doesn't seem all that innocent anymore," and more investigation led to the REAL Killer (Who was deemed innocent before)confessing to the crime and being Convicted and imprisoned.


I couldn't help but feel more understanding to cops who book innocent people. I was willing to book someone I KNEW wasn't the Killer in a game after being fatigued and because he was the only Suspect left after two days. Now imagine Cops in the real world who have been investigating Murders for a lot longer than two days....Yikes. I had a nagging thought,"Had you been a real Cop you would have ruined an innocent person's life!" Yikes!

And that is why it's better to not book anybody unless you really know they did it.

You are right, Furienna! :D Thank God this was just a Murder Mystery Game. I do wonder how real Cops feel having to go BACK to their list of Suspects who had already been deemed innocent. I remembered feeling frustrated when the last Suspect's footprints did bot match the killer! Oh boy. I really did not want to go back to the list of Suspects /play for another two days. Luckily the Investigator soon mentioned that the real Killer wasn't looking as innocent as he did at first....
