On Sunday, we'll launch our first player written Featured Mystery.

The Clutch of the Green Specter, written by your very own, Wayne Williams Jr. It is a very long mystery, in terms of the amount of reading involved. We'll have another contest. The first to solve it, without first getting a false accusation, wins a Magic Top Hat. Wayne will be inelligible to enter, of course.

Thanks to Wayne for taking the time to write this mystery. It looks really good, so I'm looking forward to seeing all of your reactions.

Please leave any questions or comments about The Clutch of The Green Specter in this thread.

I'm going to have to delay the launch of Featured Mystery #3 a few hours. The new official launch time is 2PM, Mountain Time.

I'll post a news item about this.

that non-speed based contest would be so cool, would be really funny if u then publish everyone's explanation of what actually happened hehe :-D and then the writer (wayne in this case) choose the winner :-D

An open-ended mystery with players contributing their own theories about how the crime went? That idea did cross my mind before, but I foresee some issues.

1)Somebody gotta go through the answers one by one.

2)The result will be somewhat subjective. As Justice pointed out, it would have to be "judged" by someone, and therefore debatable.

But it could very well be interesting. However, I don't think this will be applied for my first submitted mystery, because the conclusion is already written, and beware...it's very long...

Wow! We have a winner already.

Captain Krishna solved The Clutch of The Green Specter first. He wins a Magic Top Hat.

Congratulations Captain.

And thanks again to Wayne Williams Jr, for submitting such a fun mystery. Very cool. It was actually a little better than this, but I had to shoe-horn it into working with the current featured mystery system.

I'm having a lot of problems with it. Eg. I get an error message when trying to interview Celeste Bales. Anyone having problems?

Hmm, I just played through it quickly (without reading most of the text of course) and I didn't get any error messages.

I noticed that one problem, but it didn't block completing the mystery.

Also, after my adjustments, the evidence doesn't really track your progress as well. I had to make those changes though, because you did some things that the system couldn't really handle, like revelaing new physical evidence after asking one of those unlockable questions.
