Money is the biggest reason for divorce, assault and war.
Sex is generally second only to Power, but still, all three are VERY closely related. Power=money leads to sex. Or in the case of hookers, sex=money leads to power.
Ah, the things we mere mortals spend our time on...
Anyways, I too am well read in murder mysteries, so I think we might be able to formulate an interesting plot here.
First off, what sort of setting is this in?
Giant, sprawling estate in the late 1800's-early 1900's?
Modern CSI?
Post-modern? Murder in space?

If we do it in the modern era I think it would be cool if a couple of us play as CSI or something akin to that. Still we need a storyline. I will see what I can think up. sweatdrop Ru'ni this event is going to kill us, we need more time, is there another holiday comming up that we could do? Perhaps April Fools Day? If we intend to change things then please alert your guild to the changes Ru'ni. Because I seriously doubt that we can have this ready in time. And all in all it won't be fair to this guild if yours gets more time to prepare an event.

April Fool's Day would be an interesting one...then you could incorporate a twist that would throw most of 'em off. Actually, you could do it at any time, but it would make it funny if it were planned for April Fool's.
Oh yeah, someone mentioned earlier that the guild could use newer members to act as 'clue' people, but that it would be harder to patrol.
Well, the crew won't be able to participate in the murder hunt, right? Not if all the details are planned here anyway, but what if the Crw were the 'clue' people.
It would be easier to control then, right?

That is a good Idea Bristi, to make the Crew into the "Clue" people. Though let's give the whole "Clue" theme a modern twist. With perhaps some CSI members that arrive on the scene shortly after the murder takes place.
Oh and for the setting of the murder, I think someone mentioned doing some sort of awards ceremony to either celebrate our new recruits or the event merger of the Order of Enigma.
Actually we could make a story that revolves around two corporations... Enigma Corp and Chaos Corp. We could make the guilds out to be like movie studio company's or something akin to that. And we would be at the merger ceremony and someone gets killed lol.

We decided that the event would be modelled around the seasons... so break tradition this once and take the time you need to pull it together. But the event needs to be centered around the vernal equinox. The only reason I suggested that we choose it is that the equinox and solitices are all normally around the same time of year. This is important because it gives us a steady guide for the events. Plus it fits the theme.. I mean no guild will have the same two seasons everyear.. the OoEg will get Summer and Winter this year and then next year it goes to the Chaos Order... and if you want to have a major season this year then the OoEg can do two events in a row but I don't think that will work. Its up to you Crow, if you want to do another holiday and trade them off each year thats fine. The reason I chose seasons is that each season has a different story behind it.. they're literally saturated in folk lore and myths... so each time you do one you can just choose a different myth to go off of. This is only going to be a one-time roleplay so it doesn't have to be in chronicle form. But like I said earlier, its up to you Crow.

And there can only be one person thats the person of honor... why? Because if there are multiple people then several of them would have to be killed... it has to be a single person of honor.. one above all the others. Otherwise there are going to be to many variables to think of when your writing up the motives and the linking evidence.

We can't use the crew because then there would be no one to act as the senior members in the roleplay. We have to use new people because no one knows them.. they have no defined place in the guild yet.. this could be their initiation into the order... they don't have to pay.. they get something fun out of it... and they act souly as a new person would in a new environment, just roleplaying a new perosn in a new environment... seperated, confused... and trying to ward off suspicion. Yes the people need to be monitored.. heavily... but you stick them to the plot and tell them if they don't that Crow or myself will hack their accounts and delete them should they mess up the event. Tell them exactly what to do when the time comes for the event plot to progress. Have them all on messenger or something, and make sure that they don't leave gaia unless their character has been hidden or has dissapeared. They need to be online the entire span of the event or have given their password to one of us so that we can post for them in the event that they need to leave suddenly.

Take the time you need but please hurry. I'll help where needed I'll post a thread in my guild about the event and tell all those that want to join the event to pm me personally and then I will deal with putting them in the guild. And if theres anything else I can do just ask.

We aren't the ones that are going to be trying to figure out who has the most motive for killing the person. And jealousy is a very condemning motive, most people would end up thinking that if the second person in line had any other motive for killing him plus there was the added thing of wanting to be first then of course he's going to be the obvious choice. Having just one honor is simplier because it elliminates the variable of honor jealousy. And clarrifies things more with the members.
If they aren't centered around the seasons whats to decide which event is an event that is reserved for only one guild and a few of the other guilds members or a massive two guild event? Having the strict 4 season events secures that into place and is better for the individual guilds themselves because maybe both guilds want to do an event really badly but its not their turn.. Both guilds can have smaller events on the off seasons and it doesn't matter who goes to which but when its the time for the Two-guild event everyone is invited and not just the select few that the other crew decide to invite.

When it comes to choosing the events that the two guilds are to host, either 1. we make a list the holidays that we are to celebrate during that year and the two guilds take turns in choosing their events. For example a list of holidays is made and your guild gets first go at picking a holiday. They choose valentines day...then it is the CO's turn to choose, we choose Halloween...and so on and so forth. The process of choosing who does what event could easily be done between the captains...aka, you and I. Thus there would be a greater variety of events to conduct and the guilds would not be stuck doing the same ones every year. Or 2. we could simply create a list of the events that we as the two guilds wish to celebrate...randomly seperate the full list into 2 and assign them to the two guilds.
And also I don't like the idea of throwing the other holiday themed events the short end of the stick. Making them lesser events and making the seasonal themed ones larger isn't all that fun. After all in reverence to our first event which was a Christmas Ball we can't simply leave the major holidays with smaller events than the seasonal based ones.

Alright then, like I said before.. its your choice. Draw up the list and we can seperate them randomly. But the main holidays like Christmas and Halloween need to be alternated between the guilds each year.
