OMG, thats not a clue. It tells you to do that, you should give us a helpfull clue.

You should be thankful for what you get. And personally, it turned out quite helpful to me. I'm getting somewhere. ^_^

Wrapping it Up...

First of all, I would like to thank two individuals for making this contest happen. Leda, for her cute acting skills as a kitten. Actually, no, that's not exactly it. She helped with the graphics, contributed much of her time to the mystery, and created many of the clues. As well, Choco, for contributing a large amount of his time, letting us use his text fader, and agreeing to be the Big Bad Witch :P Leda, Choco, and I would also like to acknowledge Trav-man for inspiring us with his previous mystery competitions. Special thanks also go to Domie, for making the awesome header for the mystery and to Valleri for making it possible for us to use Qiu as a clue!!

Before announcing the member who solved the mystery, you may be wondering how did he do it? All will be revealed...

Solving the Mystery

  • Qiu is one of Valleri's skins. The skin can be found here. Register and you will discover the wizard advertised his shop.
  • This would lead you to the wizard's shop, Potion Brewers. If you read the pinned topic, you should notice in the disclaimer, written backwards in bold letters, says "the second page."
  • On the second page, there's a topic mentioning you need to speak to a legendary potion and dark arts master at "Piggrowth," which is Hogwarts.
  • The dark arts master is Snape. He has an account on the Skin Zone. In his profile is a scrap of paper with the number 83 and a link to the Skin Battle topic.
  • In the bi-weekly skin battle topic is hidden text. The riddle directs you to the SZ IRC.
  • In the IRC is a greeting message, stating to "Follow the leader, peruse reviews." Charlo is the manager of the Reviews Staff.
  • Charlo's signature says the "The wizard's shop door is inscribed with: MXXVIIIMMVII. The roman numbers converted into actual numbers is 10282007. (There is also a link in The Wizard's profile on Potion Brewers which leads to an actual converter.)
  • The number is a date: October 28th, 2007. Once this is determined, checking the SZ calendar shows an event titled: "Something's Not Right."
  • Within the event topic is yet another scrap of paper with the number 153. The event topic also states: "There's more than meets the eye at Potion Brewers."
  • The next step is to head back to Potion Brewers and to search the forum list to find a hidden forum that is password protected. You must insert the 5 letter code, 83153, Choco's member number, read the topic within.
  • The smoke clears and reveals the witch himself! It reveals that Choco is the witch and a confession letter.
The Winner?
This is the part I know you've all been waiting for. The winner wins a personalized signature, index advertising for a week, and as promised, a special gift, Choco will be writing a special modification for the winner. Congratulations to Espalon. You've done some great thinking to pull it off and thank you for saving the day and the SZ too I might add. Please PM Choco for your modification prize and an administrator for your index advertising. There was one another who solved the mystery who I believe deserves a mention, may I say well done to Colin as well.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the mystery and have a Happy Halloween! :D

Please Note: No animals were harmed during the making of this mystery. :P
