Congrats maclew c:
thanks for granting 3mm4.
Okay, obviously I'm horrible at explaining things, so before the contest, here is a little rundown for staff and users alike. I would recommend everyone read both sections.
~USERS~
Okay. You will be given a clue that is leading toward one staff member and hinting toward an item. You will rmail the staff member that you think the clue is hinting at and tell them the clue you have. You will also guess at what item they have. Here is a made up scenario:
Clue~My name is B_B Item Clue~I am a very soggy book
Rmail:
Hello Bob. Is this your clue? "My name is B_B"
And is this the item you have?
Waterlogged Book "I am a very soggy book"
See, just like that ^o^ some of the clues will be harder than others, so watch out! The staff member will give you your next clue if you get BOTH parts right, and you will just have to keep going till you find the culprit c: Also, if the person whom you are rmailing is not responding, ask me. I have all of the clues, so I can give you the clue if they haven't responded for a while.
~STAFF~
Okay. You each have a clue (or two, clues can lead to the same person twice) leading towards you, which will be given in sequence to users. All you have to worry about is your clue, your item, and the clue after yours though. I will address each right now.
Your clue: Users will rmail you trying to find out which clue leads to you. If the clue they rmail you with is NOT your clue, tell them that they are wrong. If they rmail you with your clue, you will tell them that they have the right person, no matter what happens with your item.
Your item: I have given each of you item(s). Each of you also know which clue leads to your item. When a user rmails you, they will ask you if you are the right person, and then ask you if you are holding an item. If that is not the item you are holding, tell them to try again. If they get it right, tell them they are right, and you will give them their next clue. If they are one of the first few people, give them one of the items you are holding. How many items you give depends on how many items I have sent you.
The Next Clue: Once a user gets BOTH of your clues right, send them with the next clue. Each of you have a clue for someone after you. You need to rmail the user who gets both sections right with this clue, or the game will stop D:
