No, no more clues. :P

Honestly I couldn't come up with another one without giving out more than I'd want to. The clues that you have should be sufficient to solve the mystery, even without the hints.

Number 3 was so significant to number 1.

You could probaly get number 3 just by guessing. :P

Wrapping Things Up...

Well, it's about time to finish this investigation up. Great job, most of you. And to the others... well, you tried. :P I hope that you all had some fun with this mystery, it took a lot of hard work to put it together. A special thanks goes out to limguohong91, Nitrogenix, catfriedrice (though dead he may be), and many others for making this entire contest possible. We hope to have many more like it in the future, I'd say that this was a great success. Now, I know that you've all been waiting to find out who all won. We've marked down the first 3 places for you.

Coming in 3rd place is... YoRone22! Congratulations YoRone! Great job!

In 2nd place, coming so close to getting the grand prize, is Prismatic Hero! Congratulations Prismatic, that was an awesome display of work.

And finally, our grand prize winner... is none other than... Toilet Sex?! Ha ha, just kidding. Coming in 1st place is godman123! Great work godman, you did an excellent job!

So I suppose you'd like to know how these people solved the mystery of the murder of catfriedrice? All of the clues are explained below.

Clues Explained

  • Members are given the numbers 4-1-5-1-8 and the letters "RTL", knowing that RTL is in some way associated with an old form of HTML. Members must find that "RTL" means right-to-left. They must then read 4-1-5-1-8 as 81514, and go to topic #81514.
  • Mr. Tinkertrain suspiciously says that he will murder catfriedrice one day. Members must find Mr. Tinkertrain's Introduction topic and go to the forum that he is advertising.
  • Members will arrive at "Mr. Tinkertrain's Assassination Services" and find that the guilty Elite member has hired Mr. Tinkertrain to assassinate catfriedrice for them. While viewing the Elite members profile at the Assassination board, they should see some text written right-to-left in the Interests box. When translated, it says that ticlo and Dan are innocent. With a bit of SZ history on their side, they will know that Stefan and Leviathan are both innocent. Members will also see the e-mail address "email_4_next_clue@yahoo.com" in the profile. Members must e-mail this address requesting the next clue.
  • Members will recieve an e-mail saying that "In Need of the Service's password is CFR's favorite food." (It was earlier mentioned that CFR's favorite food was toast.) The message will also say that EGs is not guilty. (The E will be a bold light blue and the G will be a bold brown.) Members must use reason to assume that Egomednog and Glitch are both innocent.
  • Members must log in as "In Need of the Service" with the password "toast" on the Tinkertrain Assassination Services board. Once they have gotten into the account, they must read a jumbled message in the My Controls notepad. When solved, the sentence will say that Vulcan and Eversor are innocent. Members must then read their PM inboxes. They will have a PM from Mr. Tinkertrain stating that the murderer was never one of the men in red (an administrator). The PM will also have a link to an old Halloween Skinfest topic by Kazuki from last year.
  • Members must enter this topic, and closely search it. They will discover a post by Kazuki which says that CLTS was not the murderer. CLTS is a broken link to a user profile which can be fixed. Members must fix the link and find the profile. In the profile of CLTS it lists all of the names of elite members who's names begin with the letters C, L, T, and S. All of these people are innocent. Members must then find CLTS's introduction topic.
  • This topic says that DK is innocent. D is the color brown and K is the color orange. Using reason, members must realize that Devious and Kman are innocent. The topic also has a link to a topic on a hidden category of the Assassination Services board.
  • When members arrive at this topic, they will find that they have all of the clues necessary to solve the mystery. There should only be 5 suspects left. They are given one hint stating that they should know how to spell properly. The five remaining members are AgnosticAngel, Adamo, Duality, Metabolic, and Oblivion. Members must use the names of these letters to spell out the word "Adamo." This is how you discover that Adamo is guilty.
Again, I hope you all realize the work that was put into this, and I hope you all had fun. Prizes for the winners will be announced by tomorrow. You may now use this topic for discussion on the investigation as well as to congratulate the winners. Happy Halloween, everybody.
