Alibi

This game is similar to Leopardo but simpler.
Here's how Alibi works:
You can sign up to be a suspect, the criminal or detective.
The suspects and the criminal each say an "alibi" every round.
An alibi is a form of defense where the suspects try to prove
they were somewhere else when the crime was being committed. A
round is divided into 2 segments. In the first segment of the
round everybody says their alibi (they take turns of course). In
the second segment of the round everybody says their alibi.
However, the criminal says their alibi slightly differently.
For example (don't use this one if you are the criminal or
people will know it's you):
Criminal's Alibi in Segment 1 of Round 1: I was watching a movie
while the crime was being done.
Criminal's Alibi in Segment 2 of Round 1: I was watching the
movie while the crime was being done.
I choose the crime every round. There is 1 detective. The
detective tries to figure out who the criminal is by carefully
reading everybody's alibi and seeing if they can figure out
who's was different. The detective wins by guessing who the
criminal is correctly. For the detective to make a guess, they
must PM me when Segment 2 is over. They also must say why they
think it is that person. If they get it wrong 3 times, the
criminal wins. If they give up or quit, the criminal also wins.
To apply for detective, PM me. To apply for criminal, PM me. To
join as a suspect, PM me.
Current Round: 1
Current Round Segment: 1
Current Crime: $100,000 stolen from the City Bank!
The Criminal: The criminal's part is not taken. You can sign up
for it.
Current Detective: The detective's part is not taken. You can
sign up for it.

Although the concept is interesting, the win condition needs
some work. If only one person changes their alibi, it will
either be glaringly obvious or very obscure. Under these rules,
someone can change the fount of a space or something similar to
that to the point that their is no distinction between their
first and second alibis.
If these is a more obvious change, it will be picked up on the
first guess. You could probably add more restrictions or
specifications of how the alibis are formed and what you can and
cannot do to change the alibi. You could impose a word range the
post needs to be within, forbidden alibi changes, etc.
Also, the number of guesses should be proportional to the number
of people participating. If there are four suspects and the
detective can guess three times, the detective has an almost
guaranteed chance of victory anyways.

In the future, please send your forum games to me before posting
them (I added this rule recently, so it's OK if you didn't know
yet).
As widm said, there are major problems with this game. It seems
like only the detective has to do anything; almost all the other
players of the game just post something twice. Even the
detective has the boring job of weeding through a lot of very
long posts for any incredibly minor differences.
I'm locking this. Please PM me if you want to make any more
forum games.
