World History in a Nutshell

[the-ascended.livejournal.com]

"Okay," began Daniel, standing at the front of the class. "Today, we're going to be looking at the Romans. Or rather, we're going to be discussing them.

There's a handout on your desks.

We're going to be considering a remark made by Napoleon. He said that, "the story of Rome is the story of the world." What do you think he meant by this? How is it that the "western world grew up in Rome's shadow?"

After this discussion was over, he waved at the computers.

"Today's game is Death in Rome. Have fun!"

Blair figured out the answer to the game eventually, but he was pretty sure that the Trader had killed Claudius and his little dog too.

Broots figured it out quickly, but couldn't get the right combination of clues for a good ten tries.

Jim figured it out pretty quickly, even if his original thought was more along the lines of . . . well, anyways.

Hey, maybe he'd be a detective when he grew up.

Lyra's pretty positive that he died of malaria. Especially because the game told her so.

Chad could tell easily that it was a disease, and chose malaria, as that was the only choice of disease, but, apparantly, he didn't get the game very well because one of his exhibits were wrong? And he didn't investigate enough? What more was there to investigate after you knew the dog wasn't poisoned from eating the food and it couldn't have been the slave because the slave would have stolen the money...

...or maybe the slave didn't steal the money, because that would have been too suspicious! Ah-ha! Chad went back and played the game again.

Evie figured out it was malaria and was thrilled to get it right, but went back because she wanted to know the story behind the man's time as a slave. *So* interesting....

Sam felt a bit like he was playing Clue as he tried to pick the right exhibits to support the malaria diagnosis.
