There has been a murder in the hive and due to funding cuts we need all the help we can get in solving it. If you wish to help please visit the Crime Scene in Sector 3, there you will be shown evidence and must submit answers. You only get to submit one answer for each question and if you're wrong your help will no longer be required.

If you get it correct every day for the next 5 days then the 6th day will present you with a final piece of evidence, then you must combine all you have learned to name the killer. The first person to get it correct will win a staff favor and some subscription time, everybody who gets it correct on the final day will earn a special banner though!

Ok! So tomorrow the Halloween event will start, it will last for 7 days (Ending 31st!). Each day those who signed up for the game will get mailed by the police chief daily and bit's of evidence you have found (from past days) will be posted automatically to the "evidence locker".

Every day you will get a new set of evidence to find someone to question, this will build up clues to help you find out the hive murderer! Don't panic if you get the wrong answer I hear you will still be able to conduct your investigations however on the last days of this event being correct will have to be crucial. If you work it out before the final day then you must say I think the murderer is: in the mail you submit to the police chief.

The winner will be the first person to guess correctly. Good luck investigators - you're our only hope to find our who murdered Zorg !

Just so everyone knows updates haven't stopped, I'm just ill at the moment so hard to concentrate on stuff. The attack system did get pushed back unfortunately, I don't like releasing new systems when old systems have bugs. As I hope you've noticed I've been catching up on tickets and old issues... and regularly checking Suggestions. This will continue, so keep posting small ideas. Big ideas will not be taken on right now though.

The feedback system on updates works well it seems. I recently had a problem where guards respawning on a square with hidden players on it could leave the players trapped and unable to run away. I figured it would be easy to fix just by pulling people out of stealth but the vast amount of negative feedback that update got quickly made it apparent that was wrong.

That update is now fixed and no longer effects cloak, which it clearly never should have. As for Slot Machines, CodeHydro and myself have been running simulations to work out what the optimal playing style is. Once we worked that much out it was easy to adjust the payouts to a much better percentage. The payout for 3 x Sevens may look quite big but even if you hold every 7 you see, you'll only get 3 x Sevens 1% of games. But yeah like all casino games, the house always wins!
