alright! well the submissions have surged and slowed, but We have a winner!
Congrats go out to Lex Luthor Jr on his correct guess scoring him 12 packs of DCL!

I will announce the solution later this week for those of you who still want to see if you can crack my coded goodness! Thanks to all that participated! watch for my next whodunit, next month! feel free to pester Lex for tips or hints!

Thank you, Onyx! It was good fun and I am thrilled to have won!

(Yeah, feel free to pester me if you'd like!)

Dude - if the killer was Lex Luthor, then you should be disqualified for having inside information. In fact, if the killer was any of your dad's friends - Brainiac especailly - then I'd say your elegibility is suspect.

Heh. Hardly. The killer has no friends.

OOOOOH. I got us a clue! :)

Didnt you see the Red Herring comment Carlos....it was obviously Red Herring from "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" duhhhhhh

:)

I'm a sad panda, as I missed this whole thing. I guess I need a rock thrown through my window to alert me.

Also, here's a vote for Onyx winning blog of the month for vssystem.

:laughing out loud:

And here I thought we were supposed to calm this stuff down! Make up your mind already mods!

Mad props to everyone running these fabulous contests. They are a testament to the large heart beating in the chest of the community.

by all means though, Gator, please venture a guess anyways!

My guess was actually Bizarro as the killer and hawkgirl as the next victim.... I forgot how I came to that conclusion though, haha.

the answers are on the cards... somewhere.
i've had people submit answers based on the history of the limerick, the writers middle name (Cosmo, therefore it must be cosmic? right? ....right?) truth is, you don't need any outside info to find the answers aside fromthe cards. i can't wait to reveal the solution to you all this week!

Oh shoot, I've just figured it out...nicely done, I'm hitting myself for not seeing it sooner. Congrats to LLJr.

Sent a PM to check my answer just for fun, and to see if I missed anything.

absolutely correct Hero.

Hey lex, can you PM me the answers and how the hell you sloved this as well? i'm going crazy here.

almost friday!
So here's a MONSTER hint:

all drops follow a cost order.
Note the limerick does not follow the same order.

seems like there are two ways of arranging the cards.... hmmm interesting.
how many names were we trying to find?
