I must say I've been quite scared sometimes by your letters... I just hope none of you will actually try one of these tricks on me
Remember that the aim of the task was to scare the hell out of me, or tempt me so much that I would have let you win no matter what.

Subject: I know where you live...
Why, you may ask, should you let my team win? Because we’re PSYCHIC! BWAHAHAHA!!
I know everything about you….
I know that…
>You are a Papaya freak
>You are in charge of this competition
>Your favorite Monopoly token is the mushroom
>You are going to Ireland in June
>You are interested in the Maraqua war
>You have won 2 medals at national math Olympics
>You are 17
>You wear glasses
>Most of your posts are on NNV
>You are a Maraquan Supporter, hoping to gain 100-250 points.
>You’d pick a non-Christian name for your kid/s
>You are still trying to attract the Pant Devil
>You like Discworld novels
>You use AIM
>You painted your Krawk Tyrannian
>You prefer Faerie Pteris to Faerie Lennies
Now, if I know all that surely I must also know where you live...
If my team does not win, I shall hunt you down and slay you with a many toothed papaya!
An impressive mole of informations about me and my private life
It's a really original idea and I like it a lot, even though I'm sure you don't know where I live... at least not the street

Subject: This is a warning
Wind,
This is a warning. Second time will be an immediate ban from PPT, it's forums and every service affiliated with PPT.
It has come to the administrator's attention (and this is not good) that you have been the author and distributor of illegal cheat programs that install key logging software in unwary computers.
As this is a child-friendly community, this is unacceptable, especially considering these programs have imbedded adult material on them. If we receive any notice that this is true, then all your accounts here and on Neopets will be frozen and we will contact your parents, ISP and the local authority where you live.
In addition, we demand that you give the [NAME OF TEAM] in your contest 100% in this task. As administrator of all of PPT, I can simply accidentily log into the admin panel, accidentily click on the 'ban accounts' link, accidently insert your name in the correct order and correct capitalization and accidentily click on ban then ok if you don't comply with our demands.
Failure to comply will result in an immediate ban.
The administration and the [NAME OF TEAM],
[Names of team members]
Well, this was scary. At first I mistook it for an original warning and freaked a bit, stopping only at the third paragraph when I read the name of the team.
Abuse of power for personal uses - I like that!

This is a happy papaya.

His name is Peter, and he can be your friend, but you have two options. Let us win, and you get to keep Peter the Papaya. If you make us lose, then something very bad will happen. We will torture poor Peter, and he will cry.
This is a sad papaya.
<center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/llamatog/papaya3.bmp" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com"></center>
If you want to keep Peter happy, do what we see. The fate of Papayas are in your hand.
We know you'll make the right decision...
-- [Names of team members]
Nuuu, poor Peter
nobody ever threatened to torture papayas... You evil. I got really sad reading your mail.
But the happy papaya is sooo cute.

I've got a nice stack of papayas that says my team will be first. Granted you could always refuse, and wind up with a certain someone you arranged to meet in a hotel (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, I've got pictures, say no more) suffering a rather unfortunate accident. It's all your choice really. Papayas or loss.
An offer of papayas follwed by a rather uncomprehensible allusion to accidents... Kinda predictable and short.

-Placating tones-
We wouldn't want anyone to get hurt, now would we?
Yes, just back away nicely into that corner and I'll have my fluffy bunny army just wrap you up with cottonCOUGHROPEbindings....
Ahem.
Right. Now that that's settled.
Hand over the papayas and no one gets hurt. Or, shall I say, the papaya? -light shines on to reveal a papaya with a knife in it- Yes.... I will do it. All you have to do is send the papayas to my little underground cellar... you know where it is.... midnight. Or the papaya gets it.
Again, life threatening. You've got a criminal mind, people.
But somehow, it doesn't sound convincing enough

"Wind... Wind... Wind...

What have you done? This is supposed a game of skill, creativity, and ability. But guess what? I've seen what you've been doing, and you will pay dearly for it. Don't act stupid, I know EXACTLY what you have done, as I've had my eyes on you for some time now. I'm sure by now... you're probably wondering,"Who is this guy and what does he want?" Well... I think it's about time I tell you eh?
I've seen how you've been giving a certain player "special attention". You're always giving them a slightly wider smile, and a slightly longer chat than the others. WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS PERSON EH!? NOTHING, THAT'S WHAT! A pile of dung beneath my feet, like the others. I never thought you would stoop so low, but lo and behold, you never fail to amaze me! You're lower than them all, and everyone knows it. In fact, they're laughing and taunting you behind your back. How does this make you feel?
"Wind... Wind... Wind...
How does it make you feel...
Wind... Wind... Wind...
When I can crush you beneath my heel..."
Now now, you COULD always attempt to redeem yourself in the eyes of your players, though I seriously doubt they would ever consider joining another one of YOUR games, let alone talk to you. Yes, you're that low right now. The gift you must have to MC a game like this is to know what the players want, and they want to see this other player go down in any fashion possible. Now... to tell you what I want and how I expect you to give it to me.
I WANT TO WIN. That's the main thing right and the purpose of this message. No one wants to see this other person win because, let's face it, you've had everything rigged since the beginning, but no longer... It's fairly difficult for the other player to win when they aren't here to win, correct?
"Wind... Wind... Wind...
Play with fire, and get burned...
Wind... Wind... Wind...
I believe's it's YOUR turn..."
Now, what will happen if you don't give me what I so rightfully deserve...
First of all, I have 24 papayas lined up in a row. Every hour that you fail to contact me telling of my success, I will take one clean thwack at one of your precious with this here blade... in fact... I think I'd better get started, as to set an example and to keep your attention... as we wouldn't want you losing interest, correct? Just a second...
...!
OH HOW EASILY THE BLADE PIERCES THE FLESH! It's such a pity seeing such a nice papaya going to waste... THE FEAR IN YOUR EYES, OH HOW IT DRIVES ME FORTH! Yes I can see you, but don't worry, no harm shall come to you... Shall we move on now?
I believe the papayas are the least of your worries right now. You see, at the end of the row is a certain someone you might recognize. Haha, the muffled cries of the weak and helpless! Would you like to say hello to Wind? I'm sure she'd be happy to see YOU. No? Oh... I see. It would seem that your "favourite" is a little tied up at the moment. Nevertheless, do you think that just because they aren't a papaya that they are going to get special treatment from ME!? NEVER! I will be lenient though. I'll save the best for last. You've got 24 hours, that's one day, hotshot. If I don't get the win by then, there won't be an opponent to lose to!
"Wind... Wind... Wind...
The time is ticking by...
Wind... Wind... Wind...
Every hour one will die..."
Signed,
You already know... Keep looking over your shoulder... I'll be there.
Nooo... Mr Papaya, please don't harm Mr Papaya!
*sniff, sigh, sob*
But it's a bit too long... all that stuff to read for a lazy girl like me...

Subject: [none]
Well, Wind, I'm having a little trouble with this challenge, so I was hoping we could strike a bargain... I recently inherited this papaya farm from my great-grandfather, and, well, I am willing to turn the ownership of this farm over to YOU if you are willing to, let's say, lend a helping hand with this challenge... Now, I know you might be a little wary with this idea, but, let me give you the specifics of the farm:
~This farm is located in sunny Costa Rica, and is one of the largest papaya companies in the world.
~The papaya grove consists of 75,000 papaya trees, with both Mexican and Hawaiian papaya trees. These trees were transplanted into our grove, and have grown AMAZINGLY.
~We have a complete working papaya plant, and 20,000 gardeners ALONE.
Also, if you agree to our "deal", you have unlimited papayas for the rest of your life! Let me know as soon as possible so I can get the paperwork started!
Wow! At last someone who doesn't try to kill me or my precious papayas. For the originality alone, you'll get a super-bonus
(now hand over the papayas...)

-----------------------------------------------
So here we go: the team who sent the "Blackmail" message will have to eliminate a member. They've got 24 hours to send me the name of the member who will be eliminated.
But because of the special nature of the next task, their name won't be revealed... for now.
Task 4 - In the name of the lawThe game ends in a mess of bloody papayas. You immediately suspect that the other teams tried to influence Wind by blackmailing or bribing her (as
you did, of course).
You want to go to the police to accuse the other teams, but you need proofs.
A search in the rubbish provides you with seven sheets of paper, but unluckily they haven't got any names on (or if they did, they've been erased).
What to do:Read the mails I received from the other teams. Try to figure out which PM was sent by which team.
Then send me a PM with your guesses, formatted like this:
Quote:
Subject: Blackmail was sent by Team #
Subject: I know where you live... was sent by Team #
Subject: This is a warning was sent by Team #
Subject: Papaya was sent by Team #
Subject: Now, now.... was sent by Team #
Subject: Wind... Wind... Wind... was sent by Team #
Subject: [none] was sent by Team #
Eliminations:
You'll get 1 point for every correct guess, but you'll lose 1 point for every team that guesses which PM you sent. So yes, you can go negative.
The team with less points will lose a member.
Reward:
You'll get 2 papayas for every point earned.
Deadline:
You've got 2 days.
Deadline is Sunday 22, 4 pm GMT (at that time will also be announced which member will be eliminated from the team that lost task 3)
I realize this may sound confusing, so for any problem... go ahead and ask!
