2. The players are welcomed by Michael Mayer or “someone of the event office”.

If you are organizing a (Halloween) Murder Weekend, they are welcomed with these words: “Welcome at Your Murder Weekend. Go immediately to your rooms and put your stuff away. You will find an envelope in your room, for your eyes only. Open it and read the message. Remember, the content is strictly personal!”

If you are organizing a (Halloween) Dinner or Party Game, they are welcomed with these words: “Welcome at Your Murder Party. Here I have an envelope with a message in it, for your eyes only. The content is strictly personal!”

The envelopes contain two “secret documents”: a set of tasks he or she has to perform (and meant to make him or her a suspect) and a personal file of the other players (this can be partly true, partly fictitious, and is meant to make this player a suspect for the others).

3. Michael’s Message

Dear Victims! Welcome to Your Last Supper!

To any of you who has ever dreamed of a murder mystery event with a real psycho in it, I can say this: at last… At last! AT LAST YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE HAS COME TRUE!

Yes, I’ve had some uh… tendencies. However, are not we all more or less… peculiar? Yes, I did like some freaky hard core SM but, apparently, I’m cured now. They have tucked me away in a mental asylum for 30 years, only because I was a fan of the Marquis de Sade. But now I’m free. Finally. They have released me, saying I was no longer an insane son of a bitch. I’m sane now. I’m safe.

And that’s why I am playing now this sort of silly games society wants me to play. The shrinks want me to show up as a creepy clown, a freak out of a cabinet of curiosities, the psycho of the week. As if I don’t have any feelings at all!
