Jake - thank you very much for applying and taking part, you've been a great player. R.I.P. :p

Urgh, yes. Although I need to sleep and nobody else is online. :laugh:

Very well :evilgrin:

Task Seven: Proofreading
Now that you've made it this far it's time, as a detective, to really buckle down and write up something useful.

Detectives, as the final seven you will now be required to submit a report on the events of In Cold Blood IV.

This report must be a group effort and contain the following criterion:
- The names of each deceased and alive detective.
- The events that led to, and describe, each death.
- The clues made available, and how they helped you catch your first Killer.
- The tasks you've had to undertake.
- And, finally, a last hunch of who you believe the second Killer to be.

Here is what I specifically require from EACH of you:
- At least 300 words written. This means a total of 2100 words. You may split the task up into assigned roles if you wish - for example, Novo writes about tasks 1 and 2, Mollie writes about deaths 1 and 2, etc.
- This writing must be original. You cannot directly quote from my writings and the task details. Similarities are permitted but direct copies shall result in a rulebreak.
- At the end of your segment of writing, a hunch of who you think the 2nd Killer is. This will not count towards a Stab in the Dark vote.

There shall be no immunities available for this task other than ukturtle's if he passes the task.

Ben, as team leader I shall require you to compile these 2100 words (minimum) into one post. You may be as creative as you wish, but these are the basic criterion. To pass this task, this is all you must do. Good luck! The task ends at 12 midday tomorrow.

:amazed:


A writing task. :love:

I think I actually want to marry you now Shaun.

Cool, so just to clarify each player after their 300 words must also write about their hunch for the second killer? Also, are we allowed to discuss our names in this/reveal them?

Doogle: Task 1
Mollie: Task 2
Marc: SITD #1 + Task 3
Novo: Task 4
Lemonjam: SITD #3 (Niall being caught) + Task 5
Lee: Task 6
ukturtle: STID #2 + compiling

How does this sound to everyone, even though none of you are online. Make sure you include all deaths and dead detectives, alive detectives, events leading to the deaths, clues found, and the tasks we did. We can do this guys. :hugesmile:

Remember a minimum of 300 words don't copy Shaun's words exactly and also put your hunch for the second killer. I assume we can use the alias for this as we are writing this as the detectives.

task 7 is this task ben, so I doubt there's much to write about (just a heads-up LOL)

and yeah 300 words can include the hunch. eg.

would be fine (i'm not counting that but you get my point? LOL)

since writing about one task might be difficult I'll allow you to include other stuff I haven't asked for, like... what the detectives were wearing, what they'd had for dinner, what Piddles thought of it all.

Don't think of it as a chore :p

Oh yeah, just realised that, lol. Are we allowed to reveal our alias full names, location, age?

I look forward to seeing what everyone writes, especially Novo. :laugh:

if you feel safe doing so yeah LOL, since I'm still revealing clues about the new killer they're just very discreet :pipe:

:suspect:

Omg R.I.P. JH :sad:

And ahh sounds like a good task :amazed:

Evening/morning Mollie.

Right, I'm off to bed. Good luck guys.

:(

all mollie's fault :bored: shouldn't have let her be team leader :(

Morning/night night Turtle

Exactly... 'omg RIP' my arse

Omg I'm so sorry JH I feel terrible now :(

can I write in character? I'm totally gonna write in character.

I've written 258 and I haven't even got to the actual murder. I'm truly joeysteeleing this bad boy.

:shocked: RIP Jake/Harry !!

Someone is trying to throw suspicion off them methinks :suspect: My ghostly self has strong suspicions.....lalala.

Amazing task btw :D

...I'm guessing 825 words is far too much.
