However, we have already ascertained that you are lying. This means that you *don't* want to give away the prizes....

Thanks for your work.


PS.: any tips or tutorials I could read to know how to make better epubs? So far I just convert random MSWord text into PDF and then into epub/mobi
It's readable, but lacks reasources
Thanks for the compliment. I used Sigil to create the epub version from poohs posts. I actually went into the code and formatted the pages that way. It gives more control that way and lets you be more consistent across the pages.

For the mobi version I just ran it through Calibre

Okay, I'll throw in a question here. If we are supposed to be putting ourselves in Zelda's shoes in order to solve the mystery, then we should do what Zelda would do, right? Including following the hint that Pshrynk left her in the book. Only...that doesn't work.

(I know, because I tried that...)

Don't confuse/mix the fictional characters in the story with the "real" characters in the forum.

Actually neither did I, I am too confused to choose a murderer.

As said earlier, I believe I'll end up using the "random dart method" described by poohbear.

I GET that. I just don't know how to follow the instructions otherwise. Anyway, carry on. The deadline is Sunday, right? Hopefully inspiration will strike before then!
