My post was certainly all character background. I had to come up with some kind of an explanation of who I was for myself otherwise I'd not have known who I was playing in game... Like I said right back at the start, I'm really not used to playing priestly characters no matter what religion.

The more I think about it, the more I think a roomful of serial killers might not be the best Werewolf setting; it'd probably take less than a day for one of them to snap and start killing the competition, votes or no votes. It would, at least, be a fast Werewolf game. However, maybe a nest of fanatics under one charismatic leader would work, as everyone backstabs figuratively and literally for favor in the leader's eyes, or plots an escape and starts lynching everyone who might tattletale. Guild politics at its worst.

The inactive players have been placed as NPCs. Sorry but, as I said... it's not fair to any side to have inactive players to account for.

It's actually a relief not having to think about who to accuse and why for a moment  :D

 

Now Brother Gulzar can devote his time to other things...

Like a lawn to play Footbal...

 

*LOL*

 

You're great, Sweetcherrie!!

 

*hugs*

 

 

25 hours to vote. Have you noticed that any phase you lose (for both sides) is a step towards doom (=losing the game)? There are just 6 players left... :rolleyes:

"Please God, give my Brothers the strenght to write and defeat these killers."

 

OOC: No seriously, kill those....erm...bad people

I've this image in my mind of everyone sitting together looking at one another with embarrassed little glances as an uncomfortable silence stretches out towards eternity. :blink:

Oops, I almost slipped in a dirty word, and that in the middle of a room filled with silently, staring people.

 

That would have been bad, because that would have echoed horribly.

(do you write echood like that :blink: )

 

Edit: grammar changes

You would want "echoed". Also, the "wood" you used (just trying to be helpful, BTW, tell me I'm annoying instead) is the material that comes from trees. You meant "would have been bad".

 

Cheers,

Katz

 

PS. Kill those wolves! Yeeeaaaaaaarrrrgh!

Nope nothing annoying at all.

 

I just make silly mistakes every now and then, and what better way to learn than having excellent teachers around with the answers :D

 

Thanks!

Quincunx: The serial killer theme might work, if you had them all locked up so that they couldn't kill one another. Lynchings / kills were done by bribing guards to leave a door unlocked, or a restraint off or some such thing. You'd need to work out the logistics of how to run the game. I'm not so sure that 'find the innocent' would work since the innocent would probably be the first to die unless you had someone who talked tough / looked tough who was pretending to be a killer but who really wasn't.

Ideas (for whoever mods that to sort out)

 

1) The Serial Killers are the 'guinea pigs' for a new psychiatric treatment; the wolves are avengers, people related to someone they've killed and who infiltrated in the group to take justice in their own hands. Seer is a serial killer who's an expert in security systems and got a way to use the hospital's system to spy on his companions. Baner is somewhat of a problem, but could be for example a researcher who took the risk of infiltrating among them to be sure that they didn't get the chance to kill each other.

 

2) The Serial Killers were hired by a Big Villain who wants to use them in his organization; the wolves are other members who don't trust the killers and infiltrated the group; Seer and Baner are infiltrated in the group and under orders of the Big Villain, to prevent the killers from killing each other.

 

3) The Serial Killers are all interns of a specialized asylum, who are carefully kept away from each other except for short periods for 'group dynamics' (those would be the day phases). There's a small group of doctors that don't believe they deserve treatment and who cleverly talked two of the inmates into killing the others, giving them the means for that. The Seer and the Baner can be two specialists (or whatever) who are infiltrated to investigate accusations of ill-treatment and breaches of security.

 

I think any of those would work pretty nicely... :)

Tanuchan #3: The most well-formed idea and one ready for play. Unfortunately there's a. . .lack of driving force or somesuch. Maybe it's just not evil enough for my view of a serial killers' convention.

 

Tanuchan #2: Guild politics of an Evil Guild.

 

Tanuchan #1: Lynching by ice-pick lobotomy? A "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" approach? (Thanks to Gryphon for sorting out the idea in the first place.)

Kasmandre, your last post if just perfect for the 'death'... thank you :)

 

Your RP of Good Bennet was great! Now I can't wait to see what you'll do with Fxz'et.. :D

A skantily clad, pom pom wielding CheerMynx comes bouncing through the thread hugging everyone who crosses her path and chanting "GO WOLVES!".........

:D

*laughs and hugs Mynx*

 

We've missed you, kitty! :)

I wonder how a pompom wielding CheerMynx would fare in the Sith Academy... :P

 

(Maybe you'd drive the Headmaster crazy... the ultimate Jedi weapon!)

Thanks for the compliments. This was a lot of fun and I can't wait for the next game to start. Playing as a Sith will be a little different from playing as Good Bennet... :D
