It finally cooperated... I think my poor elderly computer was just having trouble with full screening the Avengers. It worked moderately well leaving it in a window.
Oh! And I just realized I haven't told Shadami the name of my threads... the Whodunit thread is going to be 'Mystery of the Missing Mirror'. And the writing contest will be 'Tales of the Desert'-- I'll probably run that one as Scher.

Hm... I also need help designing avatars for the suspects, if people are interested. I'm looking for simple avatars, no background or too much fluff and sparkle... I might use some of the contestants from Scher's avatar contest, but I need some men and some other girls, too!
Brief story outline: The caravan master's daughter Marika is supposed to marry Prince Khalid. Her dowry is a magic mirror, which he needs to complete a quest his father sent him on. One week before the wedding, the mirror disappears! Most of the people in the caravan have been cleared, but there are no witnesses as to 7 peoples' whereabouts when the mirror vanished.
Marika: The oldest daughter of a wealthy caravan master. Vain and snobbish
Nadra: Marika's younger sister. Rather shy and bookish, fond of animals.
Tamina: Marika's ambitious mother.
Amani: Tamina's long-suffering maid.
Prince Khalid: Typical fairy tale third son-- young impulsive dreamer who is scorned by his brothers.
Prince Salil: Khalid's oldest brother. Somewhat boastful and warlike, but not a bad sort.
Prince Talib: The scholarly middle brother of the trio.

As for DACing sure I can see what I can do to help make those NPCs wyrm.. I'll get back to you later today or later this weekend after I paint my room.
I just wanted to say... I don't know if I'll be able to host. My life's a mess, I come online for a short while every day, but that's for like past 3 days. Before that, I just basically barely came on at all for some weeks. This is why I don't usually want to host anything. D: I can try to quickly start working on my ideas and things, but I'm behind other hosts, I don't have co-host and I should be busy with school now. ._.
That's okay, rainy! It could happen to anybody. *hugs* I hope things straighten out for you!

I think I can pick up your thread, too, sadrain. :) I know I already have two I'm kind of doing, but one will mainly be preparation before the event and one will all be judging afterward. We can especially make it work if people help me brainstorm ideas so it can also be mostly set up beforehand.
Also... I want some opinions on the setup for the mystery... I'm afraid people are gonna be all tl:dr about it...
It is a bit wordy...X
In the strange exotic lands beyond Merkheti, there is a king with three sons. He wishes to leave his country in the best possible hands after his death, and his two eldest sons both seemed equally qualified to rule. His youngest son, unfortunately, is a bit of an impulsive dreamer, but ancient tradition decrees that all three sons be given an equal chance. So, following that tradition, all three sons have been sent out, each with the quest to find a magical item that would help him rule the country wisely and well.
The oldest son was a great warrior, and after many trials and adventures he discovered a horn that would summon a thousand soldiers when blown. The middle son, a learned scholar, found a scroll that would magically answer a question with words of wisdom from any book or writing in the world. On their way home, both brothers ran into the Desert Winds Caravan and found the youngest brother was preparing to marry the caravan master's oldest daughter to get the magic mirror that is her dowry.
The mirror's magic power is showing a probable future whenever one looks into it, which would obviously be a great way to prevent future misfortunes. Unfortunately, it seems nobody saw the future where the mirror would vanish during the wedding rehearsal! The caravan master has asked all interested Menewshans to help find this valuable heirloom in the name of his daughter's happiness!
