This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Two men are served identical drinks.

An hour later, one of the men is dead and the other is not.

What happened?
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways, it's still rock and roll to me.

You can talk all you want about theory, craft, or whatever. But in the end, it's still just new ways of looking at people playing make-believe and having a good time with their friends. Intellectualize or analyze all you want, but we've been playing the same game since we were 2 years old. We just have shinier books, spend more money, and use bigger words now.

No. The drinks were, in actuality, completely identical.

Both drinks could be said to have contained poison.

Sure.  Alcohol's poisonous, right?

The fact that the men were served drinks could be irrelevant.  Maybe one of them just had a heart attack or something.  Am I missing the premise of the premise riddle? :)

Ok, I just read riddle number 9 and I think I get it now. :)

So: Were both the men alive when the drinks were served?

Did the dead person buy/acquire the drinks for himself and the survivor?

Did the survivor kill the deceased due to the content of the drink?
