Meeting 20/10/09 - 45 Minutes APPROX

We all met in C136 for our meeting today
Joe, Anna, Paul and Mikhail were in attendance.

We discussed ways of linking the characters together more intricately and how to give hints along the way so that the killer could eventually be discovered.

We expanded our knowledge of random trivia :D

Vero is in the zoo because Malcolm Carlyle is there.
Malcolm Carlyle is there because there is a nursing home for crazies in one wing of the hotel.
Reason for the Hypnotist's show is to entertain the crazies.
John Shannow is the hypnotist who is there for the show, he just so happens to be Malcolm's son. (Is not crazy anymore, too many crazy people)
J.C. Denton was the Garda on call at the time when the murder was reported. He arrives on a horse.
Jeremiah is a vagrant who happened to be sleeping behind the giraffe shed the night before the murder was committed.
Anastasia is there for reasons stated before.

A Technician gave out to us for being in the lab without a lecturer to supervise us.
Joe smiled at him a lot.


Connections between Pam and everyone else(Possible motives etc)
PAM IS A HEART BREAKER. SHES COLD AS ICE. WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR LOVE.
Pam got acting jobs that Anastasia went for.
Pam did Denton's garden (love triangle explained elsewhere)
Vero is an actual detective so he helps Carlyle investigate (No real motive I suppose)
Jeremiah is insane and has killed before and is known to hate people with P's in their name.
John shannow is part of the love triangle and he'll be all like grrr and stuff.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh - Pirates.
Don't say "lol" out loud. It is an internet acronym. It's easier to laugh. Seriously.

Homework As Follows
Joe - Be cool.
Anna - Be cool.
Mikhail - Be cool.
Paul - Be cool.
Johnny - Be good.

Next meeting - Friday @ 10-11am

Blog Update: Homework

We decided during an "unofficial" meeting last Monday while we were waiting for the lecturer what homework we should do. Mikhail is doing a research on hypnotism particularly on animal hypnotism and Anna is doing the map of the setting (Medieval Zoo) which is based on Fota Wildlife Park.

Meeting Tue13.10.2009 45minuntes

3 members present - Mikhail, Paul, Anna.
Joe is still sick, or is he? For reference see: http://bradpittstucktomyforehead.blogspot.com/

Meeting's goals
Work on characters, connections and motives
most significant connections to be worked out are those to the victim (for possible motives) and those to the hypnotist (for reasons to be around the crime scene)

Anastasia
->part of the previously mentioned love triangle (in love with Pam)
->actress popular only in Japan, desperately wants a career in Ireland, recently auditioned for papmers' add, role in which had been given to Joehansen
->does not read, she's read to
->possible motive for murder enraged with envy towards loved one
->attended hypnotist's show as romantically involved with him

Vero
->part time caretaker looking after Malcolm Carlyle
->real occupation detective
->can't be in the triangle as it would change into a quadrangle as Joe advised us on Friday's meeting

To be continued...Joe feel free to post any ideas
