    Ok, so someone died. The soup reminds him of the person that died, and so he kills himself because of the taste.

    Does he have quilt?

    Hope this doesn't confuse anyone to dump all these into one thread, but I thought it would be easier for everyone to follow the answers. (Let me know if I'm wrong.)

    Can we get another hint?
    Boy, you give up easily. I also would rather not give hints unless most people want/need them.


    Did he have enough money to pay for the soup?
    Irrelevant


    Does the soup remind him of the person who died?
    Question taken literally, yes.


    I thought I would help move it along a little.
    Maybe a bit too fast but we'll see.


    He perhaps thinks that the albatross would bring bad luck?
    Irrelevant.


    the albatross was his long lost pet,on realising this he shot himself out of horror.
    No


    Does the soup remind him of the person who died?
    Kind of.
    (Morgaine is going to kill me as it's only supposed to be Yes or No answers)
    Not for the answer, cause sometimes that's all that works. But see my answer. However, I don't mind if you comment on one of my answers if you think it doesn't work, but I would appreciate if you'd let me have the fun of finishing something I started, thanks. (If you do one later and I know it, I promise not to answer.)

    Did he feel guilty about killing the bird? Maybe it was his pet?

    No. (I'm surprised that question took that long.)

    "Improper" question. It's never been established that he killed the bird.

    No, I meant that you can't ask if he feels guilty about killing the bird if it's never been established that he killed the bird.

    Though if you really want an answer I'll say no.

    Thanks it's been fun, but I am out.
    Sorry to see you go. Granted, this is a tough one. (It just happened to be the one I could remember.)

    While I am quite capable of completing complicated riddles and such, it was your condescending attitude that turned me off.

    I thought this was supposed to be fun?

    What condescending attitude? I merely pointed out that it hadn't been established the he killed the bird. I only called it "improper" for lack of any better term. There was nothing insulting intended in it. If you were playing cards and someone told you the card you just threw was an illegal move would you get all insulted about it?

    I WAS trying to have fun. Being called condescending isn't particularly fun either.

    Don't go.

    I don't think Morgaine was being condescending, just simply trying to answer the question asked the best possible way under the circumstances. Remember, Morgaine knows the answer and therefore info we do not have.

    I really don't want to hijack this thread, I know other people are having fun on it. So, I apologize for my remark, maybe I read too much into her responses. I felt a little like I was being scolded for what I thought was a "yes or no" question. However, I don't want to ruin this for other people, as it seems others are quite enjoying it. I think this is a great strategic question.

    So, so far we know he is depressed for some reason, does it have to do with the death of the bird?

    No, I wasn't scolding you. Really, I was trying to give "rules" but did not want to use that word, because there aren't any "official rules." Whoever does it kind of gets to make up how they want to do it. I guess guidelines is a better term. Or like Hexxie said, it can be difficult from this side if I don't know exactly what you mean, or you throw in conclusions that have never been made.

    So, so far we know he is depressed for some reason, does it have to do with the death of the bird?
    Like this one, I assume means does his depression have to do with the death of the bird?

    No.

    In this case, it doesn't matter how you said it, but you never know when it could. ("It" could have been the entire scenario, right? Well, the entire scenario is not really relevant to the death of the bird. That's a give-away - no one's even asked if the death of the bird was relevant.)

    Glad you decided to stay. :-)
