The Great Greeter Crime Spree

Alright members of Storywrite here is your chance to ‘solve’ a mystery!

Using one of the options below, create the story of the century - identifying the victims (Mod's) and perpetrators (Greeters).


 

OPTIONS:

 


[1] Crime / Murder Mystery

(Television turned onto the News)

"Wait! This is just in!   The Moderators of Storywrite have all been kidnapped and mysteriously murdered, leaving Kevin as the sole survivor. Police are saying that their murders are connected somehow and the suspects are probably the infamous SW Greeters……"

The entire SW Greeters all have suspicious alibis but you don’t know who did what to whom...

Your mission - should you chose to accept it - is to help Kevin try to figure out who killed his fellow friends.

 

[2] Daring Heist

(on the radio)

***NEWS FLASH****
Storywrite trophy vault empty in what the SW Mod’s describe as a daring heist.

Several Storywrite members discovered early this morning that the medals they had reserved for their contests had disappeared overnight. Contest entrants were disappointed to find that though they were awarded points, their shiny medals never arrived. Upon investigating the empty vaults, the Moderators found nothing but faint smudges in the dust where the thousands of trophies once sat.

Spokesman for the Moderators, Kevin, had this to say; ‘It’s a travesty that anyone would do such a thing – I assure you – the perpetrators will be found and brought to justice.’

All the initial clues point to one of the Moderators – but the lead investigator (YOU) believes that this is a clever frame-up by a daring couple of Greeters – who have taken the medals for themselves.

Whom did they frame and which Greeters are responsible? How will you track them down? 


[3] Kidnapped!

STORYWRITE CHRONICLE: KEVIN KIDNAPPED!!!

Early this evening, the alarm was raised that the founder of Storywrite had been snatched in a brazen daylight attack. Four suspicious characters in multicoloured balaclavas stormed the Chatterbox, tying up the Moderators, while a fifth caught Kevin by surprise and dragged him away. This Newspaper received the following ransom note by email within minutes:

‘We have Kevin. We demand that all Greeters be given Gold memberships by the end of tomorrow, or we will send him back in bytes.’

Spokesperson for the Greeters, Kylia Skydancer, denies any responsibility or knowledge of the attack, citing that it must have been ‘a rogue band of Greeters.’

Several concerned Storywrite members join together and retain the services of a private detective – YOU – to find Kevin before time runs out, as well as discover the identities of the ‘rogue’ Greeters that kidnapped him. You interview the detained Moderators and find that there is more than meets the eye in this mystery. What do you find as you delve deeper into the lives of the Greeters? Who really was behind the kidnap? And will you find Kevin and save him from digital dissection? 


[4] Blackmail/coup

**BREAKING NEWS**

“This just in! A letter just received to our news station here at KTBL45 reads as follows:

‘I have what you are looking for, but I want $100,000,000 for its safe return. But no worries, I will take out the secrets they’ve been keeping…or something other than just a simple murder will happen to those who defy me…’

From what the rest of this letter is saying, a possible coup and blackmailing of those ‘involved’ will not be taking lightly from the police who now have a copy of this exact letter. But unfortunately we cannot disclose the remainder of the letter.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program”

In the process of carrying out their dastardly act, one - identified as B Chandler - killed a few moderators who witnessed the blackmail attempt.

Who were her co-conspirators? And who were they blackmailing that was worth killing some of the Mod's?

    Damn. I was sooo going to write something for this but then I read the rules...PG only
    Me writing PG would be like me wearing a full body cast; restrictive and it just won't sit right.
    I may still write something and just post it.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Alright guys, you need to advertise this on the featured list. Also talk to Hekate and ask if she'll put it on the front page

    This needs more entries.
