This question is mainly for people who have had a scripted mystery published on the site. How much of your original mystery is visible in the edited version? Would you say that your mystery is mostly intact after editing or are we talking Count of Monte Cristo film version? If anyone can give me examples of things that were changed, I would really appreciate it. I've played every scripted mystery in London, Shanghai, and New York for reference.

If you 'can' do it Heimlich, I haven't seen anyone use it yet. lol and I cetainly don't know how to :) Without generalising too much, more fleshed out questions and answers, rather than a standard auto response, make for more enjoyable SM's anyway. If I wanted your standard random case response, I'd play a random case.

I promise, I will get one out soon! :-) I'm 3/5th's done, just have to finish it. Interwork it with questions. I promise, it WILL be hard. :-) Sorry. I'm making an easier on for Valentine's Day, providing I don't miss it. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I made it! It's an Intermediate, and I think it's out on the market in New York! Maybe. I'm not quite sure for sure. :-)

Yeah, yeah, don't get too carried away Kevin :p all I've done is picked it up for editing. All that means is a lot of hard work for you buddy! :D

:-)

I meant, it was down under "Your friends mysteries" since my alter-ego wrote it. I wasn't sure if it was there for everyone yet or not.

I know it still needs work. I did it, and I caught several typos, plus I forgot to put in a motive for the murderer. And everyone else. :-)

I meant to test it, but I didn't, because I didn't want to drag Kevin back to New York to test it. I should've. Sorry.

I can't fix it now, since it's up for editing.

:-( Sorry.

Everything is 'down under' to me Kevin :)

Since you point out that it still needs work and that you've caught several typose, and all those motives, I'll release it back to you so you can be 'master of your own destiny' so to speak.

Everything is able to be fixed. And nothings locked off just because it's been picked up for editing.

Good luck, I look forward to seeing it back some time when you are all done.

For those of you interested. The mystery that I was talking about in this thread has just been released as a featured mystery in London titled "The Executor's End"
