Something I've noticed quite a bit of lately is people confusing the codes for the Victim's relationship to the Client, and the Client's relationship to the Victim.

Technically.... [VictimRelation] and [ClientRelation]

Ben's got all the explanations nicely written out, but just to reiterate...

If you're trying to explain who the victim was to the client, it's [VictimRelation]. victim = victim

If you're trying to explain who the client was to the victim, it's [ClientRelation]. client = client

I hope that helps some of you intrepid Intro writers!

Hmmm... I don't 'think' HTML code is switched on for Random Intros, however in SM's Ben has allowed some basic HTML to be used.

Jojo's new mystery has a lot of horizontal rules <h>
some italics <i> insert text here </i>
and some bold <b> insert text here </b>

Oh and the ability to insert the detectives name into the SM which is done by adding the [DetectiveName] tag.

S'all I know.

Oh, so if you have the suspects call you by name, if you put [DetectiveName] tag during questioning and such, it will put the name of the detective playing the mystery? Awesome, that will be very useful for me. In my SM, the client is your sister and I'm getting tired of having her call you "Sib" or "Sibling".
