Latest Meeting 06 November

Our latest meeting was on the 6th of November, we had found out the previous day that we were now given a deadline for our main plot of the murder mystery.
At this meeting we decided that the best way to put our plot together was to first write about each of our characters seperately, giving them motives, where they were at the time etc.
This Way it would be a lot easier to link all the characters together to form a plot or main story.
So on this friday meeting, we managed to write a little on each of our characters and decided on our murderer and its motive.
So now that this was all done we will each take home the motives and character details and each of us will write what we think is a good layout or story for the plot.
In our next meeting we will then pick out the main bits we liked from each of the plots and combine them together in one final story. So it should be all finished by the deadline on Wednesday.

Time Of Meeting: 10-11am

People that Attended: Aoife, Sarah, Aisling.

Our Last Meeting - 24Oct

On the 24th of October we all had a group meeting to try on decide on our final ideas, so that we could have them all sent in before the deadline.

Basically we concentrated on these three topics :
-The Police report (where we bascially gave a discription of the crime scene and everyones whereabouts at the time of the murder)
-The Invitations (Which was basically a slightly edit version of what Tara had previously posted on the blog)
-The Characters Discription and part of their background ( General costume ideas and personalities, a little bit of information about them to make them more interesting in the game)

Time of meeting: 1-3pm
People who attended: Aoife, Tara, Sarah, Aisling.

Suggestions for next meeting

I feel we really need to try and make some progress and choose a theme. The one that seems to be attracting most interest is the Wildwest or Texans theme. Apparently because Texas still has the death penalty which will add the necessary tension. So we need some detail for Wednesday.

Correction Wednesday the 14th at 2 pm is the group meeting=)
