[HEADING=2]Here's how this works:[/HEADING]
Similar to the party game of Murderer or Mafia, the objective is to find the killer and execute him or her to prevent them from continuing their murderous rampage. The game ends either when the killer is executed, or he has killed off everyone else.
Determining the Killer:
The murderer among you is determined through random chance. Each participant will PM me a number between 1 and 100. Whoever gets the closest number becomes the killer. In the event of a tie, a random number generator or a coin will be used at my discretion.
Every round, the killer chooses one person whom they wish to have killed. Because this is primarily a roleplaying forum, the recently deceased is required to detail and post their death. This is done in the style of traditional roleplaying, although how you choose to die is completely up to you. Just make it clear that you are murdered.
Part 2 - Execution:
After a murder victim has been announced, and their death posted, everyone still standing must cast a vote as to who they believe to be the killer.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!
This round's voting has a strictly enforced time limit. I will be generous, and give all participants a week at absolute most to cast their votes. Anyone who has not voted by that time will have their vote randomly determined.
When the votes are tallied, I will PM the person with the highest number of votes, and they write and post their manner of execution. Again, make it clear that you have been executed.
Part 3 - Rinse and Repeat:
Once the execution has taken place, the killer is free to strike again in the next round. The process repeats ad infinitum until one of the two victory conditions detailed above has been completed.
There are three extra roles besides the killer: the Medic, the Spy and the Ghost.
The Medic:
The Medic has the power to save one player per round. The player chosen by the Medic cannot be the target of the killer for that round. However, the Medic cannot save themselves from a knife in the dark.
The player with the number furthest away from my own becomes the Medic.
The Spy:
The Spy is allowed to ask me up to three "yes or no" questions throughout the course of the game, to attempt to determine the killer's identity. I will answer them to the best of my ability. The Spy can only use one question at a time, though. This allows the killer to have at least three deaths under their belt.
Whoever picks the number second-closest to my own becomes the Spy. Also, the Spy is free to distribute the information however they wish, be it in full view of the public, in private or otherwise.
The Ghost:
The Ghost is a special case. Only those who have been killed (no matter how) can become the Ghost. When a player is killed, they can send me a number from 1 to 10. I will have chosen a number in this category. Whoever guesses the number correctly becomes the Ghost. They may choose one living player each round, and I will disclose any information about any role they may have in the round. Each player can only be haunted by the Ghost once.
The Ghost is legally prevented from revealing their identity as the Ghost, nor can they reveal who they are haunting. To do so is to revoke your Ghost status.
Note: The Medic and Spy are free to reveal their identities, although it is generally unwise to do so.
The Medic:
The Medic has the power to save one player per round. The player chosen by the Medic cannot be the target of the killer for that round. However, the Medic cannot save themselves from a knife in the dark.
The player with the number furthest away from my own becomes the Medic.
The Spy:
The Spy is allowed to ask me up to three "yes or no" questions throughout the course of the game, to attempt to determine the killer's identity. I will answer them to the best of my ability. The Spy can only use one question at a time, though. This allows the killer to have at least three deaths under their belt.
Whoever picks the number second-closest to my own becomes the Spy. Also, the Spy is free to distribute the information however they wish, be it in full view of the public, in private or otherwise.
The Ghost:
The Ghost is a special case. Only those who have been killed (no matter how) can become the Ghost. When a player is killed, they can send me a number from 1 to 10. I will have chosen a number in this category. Whoever guesses the number correctly becomes the Ghost. They may choose one living player each round, and I will disclose any information about any role they may have in the round. Each player can only be haunted by the Ghost once.
The Ghost is legally prevented from revealing their identity as the Ghost, nor can they reveal who they are haunting. To do so is to revoke your Ghost status.
Note: The Medic and Spy are free to reveal their identities, although it is generally unwise to do so.
Players who are killed (either way) are free to continue posting in this thread. They are also allowed access to the JIB (Jesus' Infinite Buffet), a little in-joke which the participants of Serial Killer have created. It doesn't actually mean anything in regards to the game, but we like to feel special about it. XD
The game will begin when we have a minimum of twenty-four participants. These people must be willing to see the round through to the end. People who drop out partway through, and thus no longer send votes or otherwise post in the thread, will not be invited to take part in the next game. You have been warned.
Those new to Serial Killer, feel free to join our usergroup, which can be found here.
Round 21 participants can be found here. The list includes the numerous deaths and executions that have taken place.
Let the games begin...
