HACKER'S GAME
On April 16th, at 5:00 PM, Adam Kesura's League account was compromised. The hacker had changed his password (As Adam used the same password for both his email and League accounts) **However, they were unable to change the password of the email itself.** At the time, he was at work as an electrician in California, on top of a rather nasty telephone pole, while his co-worker sat in the truck below, fiddling with his laptop over the internet.
He has a daughter as well - Nanase Kesura, age eight, whom had been playing on the computer since getting home at 3:00 PM. At some point, the girl was allowed to play bot matches on her father's account, after a rather intriguing altercation during an attempt to create one of her own. She is actually quite skilled, and **unless you either had prior knowledge or were using voice chat, it is impossible to tell the difference between the two.**
And then, we have Mark and Timothy Farken - a group of twins from Texas who both play League. They use a single account, a tradition from the days when they shared an email account, and often play pranks on their friends by getting them to guess which twin is playing right now. At 5:45 PM, the Farken group was brought into a premade match with the compromised account through a common friend. It is unknown which twin was on their account at the time. **The hackers IP has proved impossible to trace,** though low latency likely means they were somewhere in North America.
Additionally, we have Katarina Frey, 34 years old, who lives in Vancouver, who from 4 to 5:30 PM, was in a vegetarian campaign of some sort involving McDonalds. Her family is generally anti-technology, and although it has been getting better, **outside of League, she has a very limited level of computer knowledge.**
And then, we have the man from China. I don't know Chinese, so let's call him 'Arnold'. Arnold is one of the top students at Asiraci Academy, and generally has the respect of both teachers and peers. **From 3PM to 6PM** (Corresponding to 6-9AM in Chinese time)Arnold was in the school's computer lab. The computers at Arnold's school run on a closed inner network,** and therefore cannot connect to the internet as a whole.
Lastly, we have RoTaRy, the genius programmer from Australia. Addicted to Mountain Dew, often staying up into the depths of the night to finish some new shiny code. Having finished a commission of a physics system around 9:30 AM (4:30 PM at the victim's time) **He would have been too tired to do anything involving complex programming.**
~~~
The object of the game is to identify the culprit(s), and how they did it.
**Anything in bold and covered by double stars is known as Red Truth. It is an absolute, and cannot be denied. Only the Game Master can use it.**
[[Anything in bold and covered by double brackets is classified as Blue Truth. Blue Truth is used to propose a solution that still fits within the confines of the Red Truth. The Game Master must put forth a Red Truth that defeats a Blue Truth within 24 hours of its posting, or he is defeated. Anybody can put forth Blue Truth, with the exception of the Game Master.]]
The Game Master retains the right to change the truth, so long as it does not contradict any Red Truths put forth by him prior. When the clock strikes midnight on the final day (Friday, the 18th) No more blue truths can be made. The Game Master must provide a solution 12 hours from then, that does not contradict any of the Red Truths. If he cannot, he is defeated.
**No more than nine people are related to this crime.**
Now then. Let the game begin.
