Assigning new characters to victims

[groovy]

I am wondering...

If someone is murdered with a weapons card and then receives a new character, won't they tell people who murdered them? And they'll also have important information from their previous character. What happens if the murderer is murdered? Does it matter?

Thanks.

It doesn't matter if the murderer is murdered. This is part of the reason the weapons cannot come into play for awhile.

People are instructed in their booklets not to share the identity of any murderer if they discover it, so they do not ruin the game for anyone else. Common sense should tell people this, but we also state it in their background booklet to be sure.

People should not use any previously played characters knowledge. You can tell them this is you like, but most just know it. Fortunately, the way our characters are written, soon gets these people caught up in their new characters schemes, so that helps this a lot.
