Hello, brainiacs!
As you may have already guessed, there is a method to the madness of the Mad Scientist and it is going to be your job to find out what that madness is! As in some of our past BDE's, we will randomly distribute a few significant pieces of information to some of the research group that will be important in helping find out the why's and what's of the Mad Scientist. Those pieces of information will directly lead you to the motivations behind this attack.
Unlike some of our past BDE's, we're also going to distribute a few unimportant and misleading pieces of information to the research group in order to give as many people as we can a chance to find something and make researching a little more difficult for those involved. Emails with specific clues and specific dates have gone out so you know what to find and when to find it! It can't always be easy to catch a mad scientist, can it?
Starting Tuesday, March 23, researching will get rolling so we can get all clues, good and bad out there. The library will be open for all members of the research team to hunker down with books, computers, periodicals and each other to find out just what is going on. The pertinent pieces of information will be found all week, but one major one will be saved for
Saturday's research session -- and all the clues will be passed along to our strike teams!
How will they be passed along? We're glad you've asked. From Tuesday on, a whiteboard will be posted in the library in the form of an additional thread that links to one stable post that will just grow and grow over the week. There, those who find their clues can write it down and anyone who needs to see (including members of our strike team) can say they've seen it!
