I like the mysteries on here, written and videotaped. Here's how this mystery "game" works:
1. Some people sign up.
2. I make six sets of weapons. Five contain completely random objects, the sixth has six weapons that are easy to relate.
3. I number the sets of weapons.
4. Depending on when you join, you get to choose a set of weapons. The more people that have joined, the less available sets there are.
5. Person one writes a mystery incorporating those weapons as possibilities. Once that is solved, person 2 writes their mystery next. Once these mysteries are solved, the roster is open, and people can sign up again.

Anyone care to join?

I'll give it a whirl, seeing as my lucky number is gone I'll choose set number 3

Out of Interest, as we are picking numbers from 1 - 6, would there be at least one original weapon in each set?

i.e. 1 has Revolver, 2 has Wrench etc.

When you said I had the easiest set, were you being sarcastic?

Just to warn, the mystery I'm writing for this may suck ***.

Are there any restrictions on what suspects or locations we are allowed to use, or can we use whatever we want?
