HELLO ALL AND WELCOME! We here at the New London Theater of Approved Fine Arts have quite the production in the works. What we have purposed to bureau of decency and morality is a revolutionary piece of theater. It is a murder mystery the likes of which has never been seen. The players just actors the crimes all to real. Taking into account the transient nature of death in the neath our head playwright. Edward T. Wilkinson. Has crafted a murder mystery in which the stakes or real and the murders are of an all to corporeal nature. We are currently seeking actors for our first show. We invite all types to participate in the most groundbreaking production ever conceived. Note that the mystery its self maybe be of fabrication there is a real chance of death. (Liability waivers next to the sign up sheet.) All of which is but a small price to those who seek fame and fortune as Fallen London’s premier stage detective. So sign up today and become a star!
So what that long winded introduction was meant to explain is my proposal for a murder mystery. The idea is to use the simple rules of the forum game Mafia. (I’ve posted a link below for those unfamiliar with the game.)
When a significant amount of players have signed up we will begin with the semi-random role assignment. Feel free to create an elaborate character or two. I will assign roles to people as I see fit.
The goal of the game is to catch the murder as quickly as possible. Ideally after he/she has committed enough murders to make the story interesting. The story will be half predetermined. I shall control a set amount of NPC’s and have control of most of the events. And half free flowing. Your charcters can interact with each ohter and run there own investigations. To an extent.
There will be a few power roles. I.E. The Murder, The Detective, The Director, ETC
There will also be a disadvantageous roles. I.E. Clayman, Honey-Crayzed, Orphan, ETC
The ideal running time for this game is exactly one week. Each day around a set time a murder will happen. After the murder happens the accusations will fly. When someone gets enough votes they will be dealt with. Either execution or some other means. If you are killed or disposed of by any other means you are out of the game. You may still read but no longer post. Also if someone is not actively part of the game they are not allowed to influence people in the game.
Since the game needs to move at a fast pace as to not die down I will have to insist on only letting players join if they can log in multiple times a day. I have nothing against people who don’t have access to a computer all day it just impedes the flow of the story.
Now that I have established the rules players are free to sign up. Please note that there is no set time limit for the first day. I will have the game commence after a certain amount of people join. The character sheet is posted below. The only rule in character creation is that your character needs to be humanoid. The director is a visionary for sure. It’s just incredibley hard to write parts for cats and rats.
