Mouthful of a title, but you said to be precise!

1. Does writing an intro give you the right to a subscription? If so, for how long? And for how long is the subscription earned by writing an approved featured mystery?

2. How is the mechanics that change the difficulty tjreshold? Why do easier difficulties get locked? How and when do I know a difficulty level is going to be locked or unlocked? And mainly, can I play the featured mystery of a difficulty which has already been locked to me? Cause that would make sense: featured mysteries should be exempt from being locked by "easier difficulties lockup".

Writing intros do not win you a subscription. However getting a scripted mystery featured by the admins will earn you one, the length of the subscription is up to Ben.

I don't really know how difficulty locking works, just as you reach certian levels of experience, new difficulties levels open up and some close. I do not think this is the same for scripted mysteries though. I think, someone correct me if I am wrong, that you won't be able to play an Almost Impossible scripted mystery if you haven't unlocked that difficulty level yet, however I do not believe that you can't play Easy level scripted mysteries just because regular Easy mysteries are locked to you.

If you have questions about scripted mysteries and intros, I would ask them in the writing area near the bottom of the forums list.

Just the beginner level is locked. The rest will stay unlocked.
