Welcome to Nutsy's Nefarious Nights: The Case of the Suffocated Heiress

Before you decide whether you want to play or not, here are the guidelines:

1. While Nutsy's office is located near Squirrely McGee's Offtime Saloon, it is only a cousin to the Wayward Squirrel events.

2. These are mini-mysteries, with each one no longer than one month. The plots are much simpler and less involved.

3. You may play in teams as usual, with one partner, or even be a lone wolf, although, because of the puzzling involved, I do recommend at least one partner.

4. If you are a Wayward Squirrel, you may keep the character you created for those events, or make an entirely different persona.

5. Guest writers may appear from time to time. If you are interested in creating a plotline in this mystery format, let me know.

6. Prizes will be given, but there will not be the lavish bounty that accompanies the WS events.

How it works:

You will be presented with a mystery, in which you will be given:

1. The autopsy report or an observation from an eyewitness, or maybe both.

2. You will then be given the suspects' statements about the crime and their profiles.

3. You can then hunt down clues from the locations given. You must solve a puzzle at each location in order to receive the clue(s). These will be sent by smail to the team leader and are to be shared.

4. Additional clues will be posted at strategic points.

5. At the announcement of the end of the event, you must submit your guesses as to the perpetrator(s), motive(s), method(s) and any other details you think are pertinent. This solution should be in RP format and posted on the plot thread itself.

6. Each mystery is entirely optional, and you choose to participate or not each time. You do NOT have to participate in each one.

7. Nutsy and Francine will take a break during the Wayward Squirrel event, so there will be no mysteries during that time.

Please post your team, partner, or self below if you decide you want to play. All teams must be formed by Thursday, January 8.

Please join the Nutsy Nefarious Nights ping group if you haven't already. The WS group will NOT be pinged for this event.

If you are new and curious about the WS events and want to "dip a toe into the water," this is a good place to get started and let others see who you are and whether you might fit into a WS team together. :D

All questions are welcome as always, so ask here!

pokes head in I knew there had to be more going on here than I thought...it was definitely worth the extended stay at the Wayward Squirrel...

((ooc - any of you lovelies coming to do this too)) also I made a post on the main thread because yep

WOOHOO! I'm looking forward to this! What's the max number for a team, by the way? Six, right? Hey guys, are you interested? If not, it's no big deal, but I do want at least one or two folks to run with for this, so please let me know!

Yep, six max, but you may also have a different team name for this is you want.

I will only change it if I shuffle people. Also, I take it Nutsy's office is the central location here? Lastly, I know everyone was scrambling for WS. You said each mystery here is a month at most, but what's the shortest timeframe for a stage?

I'm so game for this you gals in? totally cool either way :* lol you had to mention mysteries so if my girl suddenly grows a handlebar moustache so she can pretend to be a gritty noir detective you are sooooo going to have to hand her some shaving cream :P btw, this means i'm in lol

Different personas are welcome!

bounces around in a flailing ball of squee I was just thinking about you and WS, actually. glomp By the way, your autocorrect is acting up. You said Crosstime Saloon, not Offtime Saloon. ^.^

ACK! goes to fix

(Yeah, this is a lot more fun than trying to sell new wigs when everyone's broke---LOL)

SO broke. Haha!

Oh, I know. Well, you start at Nutsy's but then visit the Marmota Estate, There aren't many suspects, and this one is only three weeks long, so you'll get a new piece about every three days, since there are only five "extra" clues.

: I'm in, and I will be RPing as Lady Frieda, Master Healer of Omen Island. I've asked to be my teammate, but I don't know which persona she will be roleplaying. We'll know by tomorrow.

glomp How are you?

do have an honest question, is Nutsy used to random groups of strangers wandering past her office/shed? xD

: I'm great! I've missed hanging around the WS group these last few months. How about you, what's new?

I'm doing fine. Made a couple friends my age, and we're thick as thieves, so that's been wonderful. And I'm working on a plot for another rp group. wiggles

I'm definitely in :D

Woohoo Nutsy is here! I think I might need a team... hmm...

I can't remember, but did you say you wanted to do this?

I am definitely in :) Someone wants to be in a team?

I'm in!

Yay, the team is back together!
