The Kindred Circle is pleased to announce their Next Trinaldian event. A Murder Mystery Contest.
We'll have 6 characters who are possible "suspects".
All participants have to sign up(PM me with your character number or put your character number here) to get the list of cast members/characters with a code word so that person knows to get into character. They'll have one week to meet each person and make a decision on "Whodunnit".
Basically, if you want to interview an actor - PM them with the codeword so they know you're wanting to "play" in the MMC. Then the actor knows to speak with you as their character role in the MMC.
You can collaborate as a group of 3 at most. We must know your collaborators.
* Prizes Update: 11-20-05 *
900plat to 1st group/individual winner
650plat to 2nd group/individual winner
500plat to 3rd group/individual winner
Donations welcome and will be distributed as necessary/needed. Will be discussing with donators on how best to use funds. Donations must be given before the contest begins. Donators can participate so long as they do not ask details prior to the event.
Thanks to our WONDERFUL donators!

** Only the actors will know the FULL story and thus CANNOT actually "play" in the contest. **
-----------------------------------------------
Rules/Guidelines for Participating:
1.) On the beginning day of the contest - everyone will be given a link to the character sheet with contact info so they can interview the Actors and figure out the storyline.
2.) If you participate in a group - it is up to YOU and your group to decide how to split the prizes. We will give the prizes to the designated "leader" of the group.
3.) If you participate in a group - you MUST give us the characters names and numbers of ALL participating.
4.) General Storyline to begin your thought process begins below.
5.) No outside help allowed besides your "group".
6.) You can interview the characters via PM or In Person - but as these are volunteer actors please try to keep it to PMs if they are busy.
Modified Note: PLEASE REMEMBER - when you give these actors that code word - they are acting IN CHARACTER as per the Murder Mystery Contest!! Do not be offended by the person or the "regular" character of this person simply because they are ACTING out a role for this event!! Thank you!
7.) To "win" you must post your theories or guesses on this forum. Do not say WHY or HOW on this forum - but PM me this In Game.
8.) First place goes to the first group or person who guesses right AND sends me the correct WHY/HOW. Or as Correct as possible considering the storylines and your assumptions/guesses.
9.) The actors get to judge your Answers of the WHY/HOW to see who is 'most' correct. This is a group decision and will be made unanimously. By participating you AGREE to abide by their decision and accept the outcome.
- The Kindred Circle is hosting this event but the decision is made by the ACTORS unanimously.
10.) Winners and their answers will be announced at the close of the game.
11.) Actors have guidelines for RPing this story/game. They are required to tell the TRUTH. They can artfully dodge your questions but cannot give an outright LIE. But - Asking them outright "Did you do it?" is NOT allowed because this ruins or defeats the purpose of the game.
Modified Rule: I mean "LIE" as in they do have a storyline and somewhat of a script to follow. They cannot deviate from the preset storylines because it was put together in a specific way to give you clues. Which means - if their storyline calls for them to have a specific relationship to the dead body they are NOT allowed to change it on their own and give you false clues. I think this is mostly what I mean - they will not give you "FALSE CLUES" that we did not preset prior to this event.
12.) Actors are ACTIVE players who are normally on DG for at least 1 - 2 hours everyday. There will NOT be a chance of missing them too often - and/or if someone comes across a time conflict - they will be replaced.
- This ensures that you can interview via PMs and that the actor will definitely respond within a day. If not - you can PM me in game to let me know.
