Release along with the source text and a website.

[We create a new verb that will be used in the game. It is set up to only apply to other persons.]

Arresting is an action applying to one visible thing. Understand "arrest [someone]" as arresting.

[We define new properties for people to determine who is guilty.]

A person can be guilty or innocent. A person is usually innocent.

The Foyer is a room.

The gun is in the Foyer.[1]

[Smith is our culprit by inserting the property of guilty.]

Smith is a guilty man in the Foyer.[2]

Angela is a woman in the Foyer.

Joe is a man in the Foyer.

[When arresting the guilty person, this carries out the resulting actions.]

Instead of arresting a person who is guilty:

say "'[The noun],' you slowly begin, 'you have the right to remain silent...'"

[When trying to arrest an innocent person, this carries out the resulting actions.]

Instead of arresting a person who is innocent:

say "[The noun] is not who you are looking for."

Notes

[1]. Note the default response when trying to arrest something that is not a person.

[2]. Note that we could also write this as: Smith is a man in the Foyer. He is guilty.
