I think most of us are familiar with the RJ quote that people have interpreted as an acknowledgment by RJ that Graendal is the culprit. If you havent, here it is:

Why do you think everyone has a hard time figuring out who killed Asmodean? Graendal killed him."
RJ replied: "I don't know why people have a hard time figuring that out. To me it seems intuitively obvious even to the most casual observer. The reason I won't tell people though is that I am enjoying watching them squirm entirely too much. It's probably bad for me."N Chat 12 December 2000

But there has been doubt cast upon the accuracy of the quote and/or the credibility of the poster. Moreover, even if it is accurate, people have argued that this is a misinterpretation.

So it's most likely wrong to think it's an acknowledgment.

2. However, although the above stuff has been around, i havent seen it discussed that another RJ quote may have let slip that the killer is male.


RJ: "... what do I need to do? Caper around with a sign saying 'Here! Here! There he is, see?'..."

See that? go to the link and look at the entire quote. it's from ElfFantasy Fair 8 April 2001 - Aan'allein reporting.

i found it at http://docs.google.com/View?docID=dcjspjqg_820f85qwbd6&revision=_latest

it's a big quote and this is buried. But RJ referred to the culprit as a "he". everywhere else that i can see he never referred to the culprit by a single gender. Is this a slip up or nothing at all. I may be guilty of misinterpretation.

can anyone find quotes where RJ referred to the culprit by either gender? if he said he or she that shouldnt count b/c he isnt referring to one but keeping it ambiguous for obvious reasons.
