Hmm, well, it's actually not a Halloween theme perse (though that was how we got started on the idea). It's an actual murder mystery, so someone is going to die and with it there will most likely follow fear and suspicions as everyone tries to figure out who did it.<br/><br/>Most crimes/mysteries take a few days to solve in real life, but I felt three game days would be more than enough time for the news of the death to spread to all characters (some will undoubtedly hear of it later than others since they were preoccupied with shoots and whatnot) as well as enough time for them to start trying to piece things together (he was with her last! She absolutely loathed him! Etc) and try to find the culprit. At the same time, since three game days is equal to six real life weeks...I thought that letting the event go any longer - people might lose interest. But cut it too short - things may get rushed?<br/><br/>Regular activity will still be happening, as in, shoots will still be scheduled and the gallery will still be open. So the event is just an extra element to the background of the game. Something to keep people on their toes?<br/><br/>(I'm really tired at the moment so I'm pretty sure that didn't come out as clearly as it could have.)<br/><br/>Gensokian - You applied for a Staff position so you usually wouldn't be scheduled for any shoots unless a photographer or buyer took a fancy to you. Also, I didn't schedule anyone who hasn't posted at least once yet. ^^; I'm sure you'll still have people to interact with though, since I know a few other players will also be starting on Day 2.<br/><br/>Rukio - Take your time. You can even just post the conclusion as a sort of flash back for when you begin Day 2.
