Here it is, the EVENT. The three winners will be given a privilege of claiming one of the characters - anyone they want. But each character can only be chosen once. There are also members who will not be allowed to get the message; those will be selected by me. Members who wish to help me, please message me.

Each "normal" participant will be give one code, send your decoded message around to those you think is "normal" participants, share them with each other and put the puzzle together. To make it a bit easier, there will be 3 codes (will be announced when "opened").

One of the 3 tasks is that each participant must find 5 other participants (not including themselves) and 3 participants that cannot get the secret message. The key point is - DO NOT REVEAL YOURSELF TO ANYONE!

This thread is a place for participants to get clues and trick others to benefit yourselves.

The rules are as follows:

1. No one is allowed to change the code.
2. No participant is allowed to tell each other who they've sent messages to. This is a secret between pairs of participants.
3. Anything regarding event must not be discussed outside of this thread. With the exception of the personal message system. Please do not abuse the use of it (do not share your findings).
4. You cannot receive help from other or non-participants.
5. Each participant is only given one chance to submit their answers to the first task (above).

Specific rules for "special" participants (those who cannot receive message):

1. Follow the general rules.
2. Immediately message me if you got the message - does not matter if it's right or wrong.
3. Attach the participant's name that has sent you the message.

To get disqualified:

I will soon send messages to the participants and once they've replied, I will "Open" this thread. The tasks (including the one stated) will be explained in details and of course, the code will be there. Any member who is caught sending the message to the "special" participants are disqualified for this event.

Deadline:

1. You must send me the secret message: State your original decoded message (I will know which one it is but still), then the full message.
2. Send in the 5 names of other "normal" participants and 3 names of "special" participants.
3. March 9, 2007 At 8:00PM EST (to be announced when "opened")

The deadline is March 9, 2007 - 8:00 PM (EST). You must send in your answers by then or else you're disqualified~! Be at least 10 minutes earlier than the deadline!

Tips to win:

1. Post in here.
2. Trick other participants.
3. If you are a "special" participant, somehow prove you are not one and get the message they have from them. <-- Yes, you may lie.
4. First three - with the right answers to the tasks - to send in their answers will win.
5. Have fun~!

Please reply to my invitation whether you will join or not. The deadline to that is February 23, 2007. If the participants didn't reply by then, you are not part of it.

Please don't feel bad you are not part of this event. I will try to make better events, kk~?

Statistics (Updated: February 23 ):

Number of "normal" participants: 20
Number of "special" participants: 10
Number of words: 3
Number of similar pictures: 3
Total number of members accepted: 6

Here's a short dialogue as to how to find out someone is a member with a code or someone you cannot send the code to.

A=with code
B=no code --> disqualified if you send it to them
C=with code

A: This event is so confusing.
B: Really? I think it's simple. For what I have to do anyway.
C: So you guys are part of it too, so which one are you?
B: Lol, we can't tell that can we? Since I want to win.
C: Oh right, sorry.
A: Btw, do you guys get the code thing?
B: The one with the numbers?
C: The code looks simple but to put it into 2 sentences is hard. And it's 10 words in total too.
B: Really? It's 10 words?
A: Lol
C: Yup, ten words. and mine is so short too...when will I ever get the whole thing? (I hope people won't give themselves out that easily)
B: Yea, mine too. (They exchange each other's code, B reports to me, C will be disqualified.)
=======================
A: So you got C's code?
B: Yup, turned out it didn't help.
C: Yea, yours didn't help much either...it can't fit in to the theme, it just doesn't make sense... (C knows B is not someone to send code to but can't tell A)
A: Then, well, you sure you decoded it right? (A suspects something's wrong)
C: Yea, if I got the trick to the numbers, it should be right.
B: Maybe it doesn't have anything to do with the theme (vampire knights)
C: It has to be, since it's a vk event.
A: Yea, it should be like that too. (A makes a guess that B is a "special" participant.) Hm, maybe I can do something about the codes...is it possible that I see it?
C: Sure, I'll send it to you (it doesn't matter rather C gives it to who anymore since C will be disqualified anyway..but A still need to exchange codes)
B: Would you like mine?
A: Hm...I'm not sure since C said it didn't help so I'll look at it first then I'll see. (they exchange codes, A now knows that they cannot send B their code and that C is an ally.)

Tomorrow will come without prayers. The end will come without hurrying.

It starts now~ and remember the deadline~~ I might trick you too...

I live only to be worthy of the corpse I shall leave behind that day. - W.A.

Let's get these teen hearts beating. Faster, faster.

Tomorrow will come without prayers. The end will come without hurrying.
