Patron Episode

It is time to kick this off. There will be 7 teams! The team lists were created at random.org and you will find them below. Exchange your email or contact details with the other people in your team. (In the comments below is probably easiest).

Organise a group email/facebook group/skype/google hangout etc etc and get to know each other. Each team will submit a list of cases they would like to cover (maximum allowed is 5 per team - one each. But it doesnt have to be that many). From there, the casefile team will have a look and then pick one from your list. That will be the case your entire team covers. You will all work together on it as a team. 

Each team will have a different case. Please keep the cases small and manageable - no Jack the Ripper/WM3/OJ Simpson type cases that are massive. 

We recommend submitting all the facts, chronologically, with links to sources. Dive as deep as you can into those facts. If you want to have a crack at writing a narrative - you can do that as well, we won't stop you. 

Email your teams list to host@casefilepodcast.com Just one person from the team can email the list. 

If we dont feel any of the cases you submitted are suitable we will get you to re submit. 

There will be no time limit on the actual case itself. We understand people have lives and are busy. However please try and get your teams list of potential cases done by the end of the month if possible.

RULES: 

1. Enjoy it. Find as much as you can about the case. The winning team may be able to hear their hard work actually produced by us. (We may also select more then one winner)

BUT;

1. Keep your research and writing to publicly available resources.

2. Don't go contacting anyone involved in a case. No family. Law Enforcement or anyone. If you feel someone with involvement in a case may be suitable to talk to, mark that down on your submission and allow us to decide and make that approach.

3. You arent working for casefile or representing casefile. So please dont go telling people that you are. This will have the potential to cause issues for us. This is a hobby project you are all volunteering to do. Not work for us.

4. NO PLAGIARISM. It's the internet. We will find out. Instant disqualification obviously. Make sure all sources you used are listed. 

5. Remember what casefile is about, you are all fans of the show so I shouldn't need to say anymore about this point. 

6. Make it a team effort. Be respectful to each other. There is no 'i' in team. If you don't like people in your team - get to like them. We won't be managing disagreements or running mediation sessions. We have casefile episodes to work on :)

7. Read rules 2 and 3 again. These are big ones. Any breach of these will result in disqualification. I cant emphasis these points enough.

8. Read rule 4 again.

Katy Kirby

Still waiting on group 3 members. We have started the conversation on the Facebook page below.

Chase Cole

I created a facebook group for group 7 here: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1719582394751026/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1719582394751026/</a>

Amy Banner

Timothy, do you have Facebook? we are thinking of creating a team 7 group. If not email me on ktlea83@gmail.com

Katie Lea

You have been added to team 7.

Casefile True Crime

Timothy Startton has now be added to team 7 as well.

Casefile True Crime

I would love that! My name is “Timothy” haha

Timothy Stratton

Hi Charlotte, Can you email me on Facebook (Katie Igrew) or email ktlea83@gmail.com so we can add you to the chat?

Katie Lea

Team 7 - I am adding Charlotte to your team.

Casefile True Crime

Hi Charlotte. I will add you to team 7.

Casefile True Crime

Hi Timothy, did you put your name down? I can add you to one if you like?

Casefile True Crime

... Don't suppose Team 7 are looking for anyone extra? Just signed up, UK based *fingers crossed*

Charlotte Semark

Team 2, we haven't heard from everyone....please check out the FB page posted above! Thanks!

Diana Jacobacci

Send my invite to jess42day@comcast.net

Jessica bickel

Don’t worry about it Laura and thanks for the consideration of an alternative. However, since you guys are all already there, I’ll just create a temporary profile to join the group cause that would be easier to manage than all of you moving the discussion elsewhere. Talk to you soon there. :)

WillOwl11

Yes we're all in it. Sorry I assumed because of the way your patreon profile comes up you had Facebook and also I just don't know anyone that hasn't got it. I'm sure we'd all be happy to use an alternate form of communication, because plain old email is pretty hard to do group discussion and research

Laura Carter

Hi Laura. Thanks for responding but like I said, I’m not on Facebook. Is everyone else from the team already active on the group?

WillOwl11

I just made a Facebook group cause it's the easiest way to see everything

Laura Carter

I’m not on a team! 😔

Timothy Stratton

Team 1! I'm available at manjari2411@gmail.com if anyone wants to connect and discuss. I'm not on Facebook so it would be great to establish the best way of communication before we move on to anything else.

WillOwl11

Also, we have added an extra team. There are now 7.

Casefile True Crime

Just a quick note on submitting the list of cases your group wants to cover - this doesn't have to be anything more then the name of each case and a sentence or two about them, or a link to a page. It doesn't need to be detailed at all.

Casefile True Crime

Request sent laura :)

Adam Murphy

No, he said you hadn’t responded and when you do he’ll add you to a group :)

Alarna Kladnig
