The game is divided into two parts, night time where the assassins operate and day time where everyone operates. Note that no one will know exactly how many assassins there are except the assassins themselves. Night-time: NO ONE CAN POST! The only exception to this is if you were killed during the day. In this case you are allowed to just say good-bye but give NO information/final thoughts on actual gameplay. Wait until the game is over for that. If someone does say good-bye, wait to comment on it until AFTER the dawn breaks. Also, If you die then you are DEAD. Stay that way. No longer offer suggestions for who you think it was and such. At night, the assassins discuss with each other (via PM) who they want to kill, and then send their choice to me. Night only needs to last as long as the assassins take to decide, so it could really only go for 8 hours or so. Day-time: This is where you are all active and talk about what happened Discuss what happened the previous night and try to figure out who the assassins are. Remember, the assassins are blended in to the society and thus will partake in the discussions and can try to put blame on other people or prove their innocence if accused, as anyone accused will try to do. Executing: Every day you are allowed to execute one person. This is the people’s somewhat brutal way of trying to find and remove the assassin. You vote in order to kill someone. A simple majority wins this (50% of people left or the highest voted if abstain is in the minority), and as night falls the chosen person is executed thus if they are an assassin they will take no further part in the killings or discussions. I may or may not reveal the identity of the person, whether they were innocent or not, I may just give a clue or two. Obviously if there are no assassins left no one will be murdered at night and the game will be over so it will be revealed. The only way I will accept a vote is in this form: Vote: username Note that you do NOT have to execute anyone. Especially in the first day or two, there will be little information so you may choose not to vote to kill someone if you want. You should mention that you are abstaining with an abstain vote so I know when everyone has put their voice out and it is safe to go to night. Eg. Vote: Abstain If you want to discuss something out of character then state OOC before your information. And the most important rule: HAVE FUN! So ask any questions you like and sign up here! When there are enough people, it will begin. Short Summary: When I say night, no one is to post, I will be PMING assassins short summaries of what exactly happened to the person they "marked" (used a keyword on), in the morning you may post again, and do actions you would normally do on a ship. ------ Setting: You are a bunch of sailors that have set out for the new world in search of gold and other riches to bring back. However, there is alot of competition. On the fifth day of your voyage, your captain is assassinated, along with the only one of you that knows how to navigate. Now a ship lost at sea, you sleep awkwardly at nights, knowing that they could very well be your last.... ----- So! Who`s signin up for some fun???? Of course, any questions will be answered!
I'm in again. Maybe the assassins could be convinced to wait until we reach land to start killin' us? A ship needs a crew...
I'm in again. Whats the hoped participant numbers and the ratio of assassins (mutineers in this setting?)?
The ratio and numbers are secret, depending on how many join, there may be more assassins, I will make a game thread when it starts, but that will be for in character comments...the only thing is that with assassins having to mark, the game should be a bit fluffier then last time and If you survive you reach land alive lol
I'd definitely be up for it, except it depends when you guys are starting. I have exams on monday and wednesday, and can't do anything till 12:30 wednesday the 23rd when exam hell will be over! After that I will be completely, blissfully free to gut some sailors!
Eh, sign up anyway. The games go a fair while, you may miss a bit of the action at the start but a few people last time missed out on all the action because they were unavailable at the start. Question; if I am not running it, does that mean I can join the game? And you probably already know this, but enforcing a time limit for day and night is definitely the way to go to keep the game moving and not relying on the speed of the slowest person.
Ok then, as long as you don't mind about 3/4 of a week's idleness at the very start then I'm in, especially with the wording clue fun!
Yes, you can all join... Also, There will be a 5 day limit to turns, and as a new twist, if there is someone that does not post for several turns (2) (cmon, thats 10 days people) without notification of absense (like, hey im going on vacation) Then they will be swiftly terminated without mercy - so dumbledore your good In so far- Strew Dumbledore hellbreaker E-warden kroxigor1
