Welcome to Serial Killer Round 30!


[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. Deaths are to be contained to one post and should be put in a spoiler. 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 TWO DAYS at absolute most to cast their votes. Anyone who has not voted by that time will have their vote randomly determined. If I do not reach 80% participation in the vote, the killer will be spared and one of the non-voting people will be killed off instead.


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.


When the Killer chooses his victim, he is to PM the name of his intended victim to the GM, which will then relay that message to the victim. They murdered as 36 hours to post their death or recruit someone else to write it in the case of bad Internet, a family emergency or too lazy.


There are two extra roles besides the killer: the Medic, and the Spy.

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 until they are murdered or executed. Upon the GM messaging the spy that the spy has been murdered or executed, the spy can no longer inform any players of the questions asked and their answers or who they have narrowed the possible suspects down to.
Note: The Medic and Spy are free to reveal their identities, although it is generally unwise to do so.

Sending number in.

@J1-2 If you don't have the gming guide contact myself or CounterAttack in order to get it since there are quite a few behind the scenes rules for the GM.

@Redlin: Ah, that is a tale of hope, ambition, and the breaking of the status quo! But, regretfully, all of that was crushed by conformity.

... So basically, it was a role that could kill one person that (s)he thought was the killer, but it killed them, too. The first round it was used in was successful, but then people thought it was overpowered.

Personally, I was okay with it. I wasn't wild about it, though. I think Serial Killer should go back to its roots at one point. Just the killer and the victims. I may have only joined at round three, but wasn't the thread used for people to discuss who they thought the killer was? We don't have to go back there forever, but just once I want a game of Serial Killer: Classic.
