I guess I can pursue this.
Who? One of the employees.
How? They accompanied the victim when he unlocked the door.
When? When the victim dropped his stuff there earlier in the day.
The victim rigged a trap to stab himself through the leg while he was unconscious.
The victim was stabbed with intent. It was not an accident that they were stabbed!
Be more specific. Can you describe this trap to me?
Too vague! So vague! So infinitely vague!
The culprit is not one of the members of staff (of the boat).
There! I’ve narrowed it down for you.
Who is the culprit? Keep it specific.
The victim did not consciously set up any kind of device to do as you just described.
When the victim unlocked the door for the first time he was the only one who passed through the doorway until he locked it for the first time.
I refuse. There is no point in attempting this if the basic concept that the red truth eliminates the problem of “I have no idea where to even begin reasoning, I don’t have nearly enough information to go off of.” If you do not accept a Devil’s Proof, pierce it with red. If there is anyone who should get more specific, it is you. Not I.
I permit you the ability to construct multiple blues to incriminate multiple people. They must be separate blues however.
Will that do?
for (letter a : [A,F]) construct blue statement a is the culprit.

The door started out unlocked, or was accidentally left unlocked by staff at some point. This leaves room for someone to enter the room and do what I described during a different time frame than when the victim dropped his stuff there.
A staff member noticed the error and locked it back up before the victim got to their room after this.
The attacker hid himself in the victim’s luggage mentioned in this red:
The victim only locked and unlocked the door 4 times on the cruise so far, twice to place his stuff in his room, once to go in to go to sleep and once to open it again as mentioned above.
And when the victim came in to turn in for the night, before he could lock the door, the attacker knocked him unconscious, stab him, and used D’s stolen key to lock the door.
A has never accessed the knife drawer in their life.
C and E went to bed at 23:00 and did not wake up until after the stabbing occurred.
A and D have never entered the victim’s room.
B and F have never touched the knife in their lives.
The victim was stabbed by someone in the same room as them at the time.
The stabbing occurred after 24:00 of the first day of the cruise.
The victim locked his door for the second time at 22:30.
Excluding members of staff there were 7 people on the ship at 24:00.
Clarification:
A to F refers to the employees who are clients on the cruise.
The staff refers to the boat staff.
There is more than one ‘culprit’
?
But what if the knife was outside the knife drawer and A took it from there?
But what if the stabbing occurred before 23:00, or they were sleepwalking?
But what if the stabbing occurred outside the victim’s room in a different room?
But what if they were wearing gloves, so they technically ‘did not touch’ the knife?
See two quotes above.
The stabbing occurred inside the victim’s room.
The victim, C and E do not sleepwalk
Alright then Karifean. Stitch it together. How did this crime occur? How do you tie together your surviving blues. Weave me a truly epic tale, and expose my folly!
D gave F access to the knife and their key and combining @Karifean’s blue concerning gloves, F never touched the knife. F hid himself inside the victim’s luggage and when the victim came, he knocked them unconscious, stabbed him, and used D’s key to leave.
No-one hid themselves inside the victim’s luggage.
Then the victim simply allowed F inside their room, and when victim came back, he was attacked by F.
When?
F was allowed in during the two times the victim put his luggage in his room.
You seem to have misunderstood me. I said he locked/unlocked it twice to place his stuff inside his room.
This means he unlocked it, placed his things inside, and then locked it. This covers these two times.
And once I paint that picture, something becomes very clear once you look at the past reds~
When the victim unlocked the door for the first time he was the only one who passed through the doorway until he locked it for the first time.
Do you get it?
Okay, I think I get it now. Let me adjust my theory.
In-between the time after the victim moved in but before the victim came back, D unlocked the victim’s room. He never directly entered the victim’s room, only gave his key to F.
