BUT! Mystery stories have been screwing with the readers for so long that even the above is subject to subversion. So a mystery story could present THE MOST INNOCENT GIRL IN THE WORLD!, everyone suspects her of being guilty because of the above, and it turns out she really is innocent... but then, ...
It might help your survey if you specify exactly what criteria we should judge by. Because it seems you could either be looking for the instinctive "at first glance" assessment, or the assessment after we consider mystery/detective story trope norms. The first is more straight-forward to answer....t...

If I wanted to make CGs to be "2.5-D", or 2-D with apparent parallax, what sort of RenPy code should I start with? By parallax I mean like this . I mean, what should I do other than trial-and-error of motions and scaling of each component for each specific "camera move"? I'm thinking of something li...
I just want to get off my chest that WORKING OUT TIMELINES FOR STORIES SUCKS! It requires me to do math by adding and subtracting years, like, "How old was X when Y?", which is the absolute most torturous form of math known to me other than adding and subtracting hours and minutes. I hate it so muc...

But as this alone doesn't seem to explain its popularity, I think it has less to do with school itself, but more with the age bracket. It would be...
And after checking it out, this one is good too :) There's this site on medieval demographics - far from steampunk, I know - but it can be enlightening on what you should keep in mind when designing a city. http://www222.pair.com/sjohn/blueroom/demog.htm (How did you find that article, by the way?) ...
Am I the only one who was fascinated by PyTom's recount of EVN history? Or maybe it's because I'm just the newest of newbies?
