Christmas Giveaway

 

To submit your answer, please view this thread.

 

A disaster has hit the forums. Members of PS3T, we need your help! Whilst we were preparing our Holiday Giveaway, one of our elves managed to break into the vault, steal the prizes, and leave unidentified!

 

This is where you guys come into play. We have no leads on the case, so we need all of you to put your detective hats on and work out the mystery. Everybody is allowed to enter, there are no restrictions in place. What's in it for you I hear you ask? Well, a chance to win those stolen prizes of course :p.

 

The stolen goods consist of two PlayStation Network cards, one valued at $20 for the US PSN Store, the other valued at £20 for the UK PSN Store. Submit your answer correctly in the submissions thread, and you'll be entered into the draw for the card of your choice. Submit a wrong answer, and you'll be eliminated from the giveaway. So make sure you're absolutely sure, because there's no going back once you've submitted your first guess (edits will be ignored and extra attempts deleted). This goes for making multiple accounts too, we'll know, so please save us the hassle.

 

Once the alarm bells were rung and the crime scene was discovered, a number of clues were found left behind. We've taken note of them all in the hope that it helps solve the mystery. To see the clues, please scroll down to the post below.

 

All available elves are listed in the following post. One of these elves is the thief that you're looking for. The deadline to submit your answer is 31st December at 8:30pm GMT. Any answers submitted after that time will be excluded. The winner of each draw will receive the code via PM on January 1st (approximately 24 hours after the deadline). Remember, if you think you know the answer, a good idea would be to play your cards close to your chest. The more people that guess correctly, the less likely you are of winning your preferred prize. Just something to think about.

 

Good luck everybody, and most importantly of all to remember, some of the elves may try to mislead you, but some may not. You must determine who you believe to be telling the truth and who may be trying to lead you up the wrong path.

The Clues

 

 

Once the alarm bells were raised and the crime scene was discovered, a number of clues were found. All of the elves are now arguing with one another and making accusations, but we can't find anything substantial that points towards any one individual. We've taken note of them all below in the hope that it helps you solve the mystery.

 

Once we rushed towards the scene of the crime, a thick cloud of smoke stood between us and the vault. As we held our breath and rushed towards the safe, we noticed that it had a small incision and black mark on the lock, indicating that it had been tampered with. Once opened, we noticed a thick layer of dust had gathered across the surface, and a collection of cobwebs blocked the entrance. A strange, futuristic-looking relic with symbols covering the whole object was left inside, seemingly a calling card of the thief. It is a small triangular object, similar to a pyramid shape, but stretched at the top. It could be depicting some sort of language, but further tests will need to be conducted to confirm this. It's a nifty piece of technology, certainly not something that you would expect to see in a place like this.

 

We headed over to the security office with the relic in tow, praying that they had conclusive evidence. Although the security guards report seeing nothing on the CCTV cameras, the security office door was frozen to prevent anybody from opening it. We discovered that the security systems were still online when the break-in was discovered. The thief somehow managed to get past them without damaging them or being detected.

 

After returning to the crime scene, the DNA profiling revealed that no prints were discovered. The thief was very thorough and left no trace of themselves, with the exception of the damage to the safe and strange futuristic relic inside. With an insufficient amount of evidence found, we were completely puzzled, and therefore had to extend our search to outside of the compound. Eyewitnesses outside of the building report seeing a strange figure lurking around in the shadows, approximately 30 minutes before the incident. The figure was distorted and appeared to float before swiftly flying off into the distance.

I was the one who stole the cards.

 

/end contest

 

That's it! Competition over! :p

 

This is a great idea, look forward to participating this month :) Great job Fletch!

 

EDIT: Would it be possible to link each of the staff member's names in the "Suspects" post to their profile? Might help people search for clues rather than go through the palava of getting to each profile.

But how are we supposed to look for their shifty expressions if we can't see their faces? :think:

 

:p

 

This thread should totally be just quotes of staff members' misleading posts followed by "TRUTH", "DOUBT" or "LIE" :francis:

 

or "BULLSHIT!" if it's Bread :p

 

If I keep a notebook with me during my investigations, will I automatically draw the thief's avatar on the page?

That's what I was thinking but hey then it would be too easy. Or easier for that matter. Made up my mind fairly quickly :p

Some of you guys are seriously thinking too hard about this. I told you it was me, and it really is me. What more do you need? :o_O:

 

Keeping in mind you guys only have once chance to guess who it is, I see no point in trying to "trick" you guys. It's Christmas, the season of giving! It would do me no good misleading the members.

No prints left and a puff of smoke, nothing on the security tapes? Obviously a wizard did it. And who is the only wizard on the staff? Wozamil. Yep, you heard it here first folks, Wozamil is the thief!

 

Nice sig Timbo I really like it :whistle::p

 

Trying to lead people off trail....

I will only cash in 1 stolen PSN card. The one that I will win for being dead on about the :wizard:thief! :p

 

:triangle: Lie!

 

If I solve the clues, how do I know somebody won't copy me?

Of course, it's a possibility. As such, running around screaming "I know 100% who the thief is" probably isn't the best idea. You're only giving more people the answer, thus decreasing your chances of winning a prize. Play your cards close to your chest if you have to do so.

 

You won't get a chance to as the 50 other sheep will follow your answer, so even if you are right you'll have less chance of winning :p
