Murder Mystery Round V Sign-Ups

[Fantasmic!kid]

Hey guys, :wave:

Been a while. I think the time is ripe for a another murder mystery, though.

As before,

Here's how the game works:

The characters are at the voted upon location for fun, a party, just by chance, whatever the person running it decides. They all interact with each other, like any group of people would. All this takes place out in the open. Now, let's take three players: A, B and C.

Player A - Killer
Player B - Victim
Player C - Detective

Player A sends a PM to Player B and the person running things saying that Player B is dead.

The person running things, the Game Master(GM) if you will, posts in whatever style they have chosen and reveals to all the players remaining that Player B has just been killed and this is the clue that was left behind.

Anyone is welcome to give their theories in the open about who they think killed Player B, but only Player C as Detective can do anything about it.

If Player C thinks that Player A has committed the crime then a PM is sent by Player C to both Player A and the GM saying that he/she accuses Player A of committing the murder of Player B.

Since this would be correct, the announcement is made that Player A has been successfully arrested.

But, if Player C instead arrested someone else entirely, then it would be annouced that an arrest was made, but that further examination of the evidence has shown that it was a false arrest.

Detectives get two false arrests and then the group as a whole can vote to replace them. Remember though, the new detectives you elect could very well be the killers. The identity of the person falsely accused remains anonymous in order to keep it difficult for the killer(s) to narrow down who is a detective.

Here are the rules:

1) A killer kills when the host gives them the green light via PM.

2) When a false arrest is made the arrested individual cannot let anyone know they have been arrested until the game has ended. If a false arrest is made the players in the game have the option to replace the detectives.

3) Between each arrest there has to be one murder.

4) If a detective is killed the other players can't know that the killed character was a detective.

5) If there is one killer and s/he kills both detectives the game ends.

6) If there are two killers and they kill both detectives the game continues until one killer gets the other.

7) If there are two killers the detective/s must specify whether they are arresting someone for being killer A or killer B. Should the detective arrest killer A for murders B, killer A will walk (until arrested for his/her own killings).

8) If both players selected as detectives stop posting regularly (or one is killed and the other stops posting regularly) the host can choose to select a new detective or end the game. If the murderer/s stops posting regularly the game stops and is declared null and void. In such case the characters and location featured in the game are up for grabs again right away.

9) If there are two killers, it will be determined by the person running the game what order they will commit their crimes in, but no killer can commit more than two killings in a row.

10) Once someone has been killed, no one else may be killed until either an arrest has been attempted and announced, or the third day following a killing, whichever is sooner. So, for example, if someone is killed on Monday, the next killing cannot happen until Thursday if there has been no arrest attempt made.

11) Killers must PM the person running the game and the victim in order for the killing to happen. Alternately, Detectives must PM the person running the game and the person they suspect to be the killer in order for an arrest attempt to be made. Please make sure that you have room in your PM box in order to ensure the game goes smoothly.


*NEW RULE* If a player has a suspicion, they may contact the host via PM about their suspicion. The host will then tell the detectives. Who knows.........you might be right.

*NEW RULE* If a player's suspicion leads to the capture of a murderer, that player will be allowed one citizen's arrest (They may make an arrest).

13) Have fun being the character you choose. Try to keep with the way the character would react to things if he/she/it were present. You'll find that the more you stay in character, the more fun you have and the more fun you're having, the more fun everyone else will have.

[unkadug]

Sounds like fun.

I think Jiminy Cricket would be fun..


Please elaborate on the restricted list and what the rounds assigned to them mean. :hammer:

 

[LilRoo714]

Please elaborate on the restricted list and what the rounds assigned to them mean. :hammer:

I was thinking the same thing!:zipit:

 

[Fantasmic!kid]

Well, the restricted list is just to keep the game fresh.
And the rounds are the # of games to play before those characters can be chosen.

Example:
I play Mickey: He dies (5 games later, he can be chosen) or he lives (3 games later, he can be chosen).

But, I think we'll abandon the list for now.

[meryll83]

I'm still a bit confusled about the whole thing but I'm sure I'll pick it up!
Can I join as Chicken Little s'il vous plait?

 

[Fantasmic!kid]

There are 2 new rules. Take a look!

~F!kid

 

[LilRoo714]

I am not sure I totally get the game, but I'll try!

(When you're killed you're out of the game?)

I would like to be Dory. :lol:

 

[Fantasmic!kid]

You can appear as the ghost of your character (who can't seem to remember who killed him/her) and post. But, you can't vote or give hints to the players.

~F!kid

 

[magicfan]

The game goes like this:

The mod (in this case fantasmic!kid) will select two detectives and 1-2 murderers, and will notify them by PM. All the characters talk on the boards as their characters (and how that character would talk and act). Every so often the murderer will kill someone. The detectives will then try to figure out how. The game ends when either the murderers have been arrested or when everyone has been killed.

 

[Fantasmic!kid]

Unless we get more people, it will only be 1 detective and 1 murderer.
