So you caved first, eh mrk? Ha!
You make me feel all warm inside, it's like an early valentine. You must've done some research, because a couple of these I'm not sure about and a couple I don't know about (or else don't recognize right offhand).

I just came back to see what time it was posted (because I haven't been on since I posted the QOD way this morning, so you must have been mentally calling to me.
And I just now read the directions. Crap.

Besides the nicknames (which I blew), my theme is longer than two words because at least a couple of these were never proven.

It was an homage, you are correct, planned since the day I knew we would be running games simultaneously. And if you can call googling "serial killers" research," then I guess I did, but certainly not beyond Jeopardy level. I was just looking for a little mix of live and dead, male and female, and US and other countries. If it turns out that one or two really can't be accurately called that, then I'll just have to eat crow. Won't be the first time.
But way to not read the directions. Now maybe I won't have players carping about how I played favorites.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Serial Killers. Would like to be able to indicate all had met their demise but alas, I know that is not the case. But for the ones I am not as familiar with I thought the least I could do is mark them dead.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
