becomehero | Week 6: Trial

week 6:

trial

════════ ⋆ ★ 15 DOODZ REMAIN ★ ⋆ ════════

Rise and shine. The sirens that filled the streets on Friday have died down, allowing you to spend the morning peacefully despite the news. It isn't until 11 AM that an alarm goes off on everyone's phone, citing a reminder for the trial taking place at the courthouse at noon. It turns off soon, but pops back up every ten minutes to ensure that you don't forget.

Shortly before 12 PM, all heroes feel a compulsion to head to the courthouse, where the staff direct you to one of the courtrooms reserved for the day's events. Attendance is mandatory, it seems, and once everyone has arrived, the doors close and lock behind them.

Yesterday's investigation was only the beginning. The real work begins now.

════════ ⋆★⋆ ════════

Welcome to your week one trial! Over the next nine hours, characters will have the chance to investigate, and theorize about the murders, as well as examine the body of the victim and explore relevant locations with NPC permission. As you gather evidence and discuss, we encourage you to revisit the investigation post to refamiliarize yourselves with the events of Friday morning.

There will be a mod-tag break between 5 PM EST / 2 PM PST to 6 PM EST / 3 PM PST. While the trial may continue and players can tag each other, mod-led threads such as questions and investigations will be on hold.

To vote for a culprit, head over to the voting page! Voting is mandatory in this game, so please be sure that your vote is in by the time trial finishes at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST.

Good luck, heroes!

could be that was the only way to give us information. we just don't know.

That's a really charitable way of looking at it.

i'm trying to be positive.

That's fair.

We'll keep working on the puzzle. Good luck over at the warehouse.

aye aye. we found a walkie talkie, so it's likely the warehouse and the shooting range are related.

and seeing as we found citrus and plastic at the range... probably related to ponta too.

So like... something you find at the warehouse is supposed to help over at the shooting range, maybe?

I guess if you were investigating both at the same time you could have used the walkie talkies to communicate...

[ O: ]

... The compass, perhaps?

the compass...?

[ ................ ]

OH. NEWS!

[ looks at our time stamps

high fives you in brain blast ]

Bravo!

i guess that was a reference to the code number order, huh? whoever goes to the range should keep it in mind too, there was a lock there.

and shooting it didn't do a thing to it.

How many digits was that one?

...

i think it was slightly different actually -- five letters in a sequence.

... wait you don't think?

ponta?

Possible.

the walkie talkie was locked in a closet though. like someone wanted to hide it?

[ ... ]

Oh.

The lock. It's N-E-W-S, North, east, west, south, not news.

i just brute forced it. no big

How many combinations did you have to try? That's really cool.

it's actually not that many when you have four numbers given to you. picking randomly, and you'd have 10,000 to work with.

but we had four numbers so there were only 24 possibilities.

That's still impressive. I'd probably have gotten confused about which ones I'd already tried.

i just started with one i'd tried, and shifted the other numbers one to the left. rinse and repeat.

either way, it worked. we got... well. we got the walkie talkie.

...Gods, but you and Throné would get along...

[ catch me playing my queen when i actually crack on and play more octopath 2 ]

friend of yours?
it's not that hard when you have four numbers. you only need to try out a set number of combinations until one works!

Thieves and hackers are quite difficult to work with.

i guess we are good at getting into things people don't want us to.
