XD I'm glad that you like what you see!~ This is an out of guild event that will help us recruit people. This event is a in-thread role playing game that is a bit like Clue! or other find the killer games. At least two players have the role of the kidnappers, and every round they go and kidnap all of the other players. The rest of the players will try to find out who the kidnappers and vote them out. There are also special roles and public clues that will help people figure out the kidnappers. Everyone will be role playing as their own character of some sort that may have elements of themselves, so that it'll be easier for people to discuss clues and such. (Or role playing can be a choice or something. GOTTA DISCUSS)
This game is going to be set in Crimson controlled Lida where four under the table mercenary groups are formed to try to drive out the Crimsons. However, there are Crimson spies that have gotten into the groups and started kidnapping mercenaries.
In other words, this event is unrelated to current plots and arcs.
I think it'll be good to restrict character races now that I think of it. People can go really crazy on what the race can be when that's not even the point of this event. Perhaps, everyone has to be a human? (We'll need to discuss this. I don't want people to go mess up a race.)
We're not going to let players add abilities to their characters since the game's point is to find the kidnappers or evade from suspicion. We'll give players special roles, but they'll be keeping those to themselves. It's going to be different from actual role play in the guild.
Cool, cool and cool. Everything is cool. I'm excited for this. :3 So we'll send invites to the people we like?
Nah, I don't want everyone to be human because I want to play Aleta and I think Duri might want to keep his characters. Their special abilities should be left out of this RP.
Character development shouldn't be the point either. I think we need simple, flexible characters for this brief RP.

For the most part, I feel as if we should at least have people just make skeletons and make those characters be very... adaptive? I guess? So they can be played as different roles if need be?
Yeah, we'll just edit the character form for profiles to make it more adaptive. We would take out the ones with the strikes.
And, add preferences. It would like something like that.
User name: (Your full user name spelled correctly) Preferred Merc Group: (Pick a mercenary group you like the best) 1st Choice: (What's your first preferred role for your character?) 2nd Choice: (What's your second preferred role for your character?) Character name: (Your Nickname) Sex: (The gender of your character) Race: (Is your character human or something else?) Age: (How old is your character?) Height: (How tall is your character?) Build: (Boney, Lean, Muscular, ect.) Weapon: (Can be anything, really.) Likes: (What does your character like?) Dislikes: (What does your character dislike?) Theme song(s): (What songs match your character?) 3 Words: (Describe your character's personality in 3 words) 3 Words: (Describe your character's appearance in 3 words)
Everything on that list is good, but why does it say (Your Nickname) by character name? :v Are the words in the parentheses going to be erased? Some of those are really self-explanatory.
Oh, and Froggy, a little fun fact: Sex and gender are separate things. Most of the time they just happen to match. Just write "gender" instead of sex. Gender matters more than what your body looks like anyway.

Hm, I did not know about that subtle difference between gender and sex. emotion_c8 (Honestly, I just copied that skeleton from Duri's skeleton for profiles. I think using gender is better.)
The skeleton/form-to-join is still being constructed. I have all of those parentheses to explain each item because I feel if I explain one item, everything else has to have the same parenthesis and explanation inside. When people fill out the form, they'll just erase those parentheses. Some of those items will be changed later on, since I need to talk to Kii, Duri, and Lurky about them and this is just a rough draft.
As well as the skeleton items, the option of letting players decide what character race can have needs to be discussed with the others. I'll add you to the Facebook discussion.
Character development won't be a main thing in this event, since it's probably more important to focus on relationships with other characters and trying to find out who the kidnappers are.

Yeah, if you have the time, you should look at non-binary gender identities. It's really interesting. I just want to welcome all kinds of people and all kinds of characters ^_^
Okay. c: Facebook discussion?

Oh look it's been nearly a year. Much progress, very successful. I'm going to attempt to get active and maybe we can actually do this event this summer. Possibly.
Alright, guess what. Summer is nearly upon us once again and not a thing has been done. With the introduction of Town of Salem, I'm extremely pumped to actually do this. This summer event could also revive our sleepy little guild. I don't know though, it's up to you guys. I'm not reliable enough to ever get this done on my own.

I FORGOT THIS WAS A THING!
Yeah, it might happen. I'm try to get Duri to write again, so we'll see what happens.
I've been chatting with Duri on skype on and off too. I'm probably going to revise Finley Blair a bit and attempt to clarify some of the roles. Maybe make up a few more roles too. Town of Salem is a really good example of what we might be able to do for roles.
I think I might read Homestuck this summer (even though it is ungodly long). Is it as chaotic and ridiculous as I've heard?

Alright, so I guess I'll just start typing info that I think might be relevant or remotely helpful. I'm kind of tired so most of it might sound like gibberish, sorry.
I'm thinking that when we choose who goes into which mercenary group, the people within a group should know who is also in their group. They're kind of like teams and all that jazz - if even one person in your group survives the entire game, the whole group would most likely count as having won. Each member should also learn their specific number but not know anyone else's numbers (unless we get lazy and just list them on the page in numerical order).
In Salem, there are a variety of roles, including different evil roles. I'm not sure if everything we discussed is actually on the page at this point, but I don't think it matters much.
I think we could add the role of the lookout or modify Eagle Eyes. A lookout-type role could watch one player and then be informed if someone visits that player. It would be really simple for us moderators to handle.
There should also be some sort of investigative role. We could either let them investigate individuals so they could get specific hints on a number's role OR we could send them set hints about one specific individual that they are assigned by us, like in the game from last summer. Since we're working with a guess-and-check number system, it would probably work well if we create a specific role that can investigate a number to find out who it belongs to. Combined with the investigator or any other role, it would work really well but alone would mean nothing. Since the whole storyline is about spies within the guilds, a number-reader can't even completely trust his group-members. It depends on the kind of people who join the group as to if a number-reader would be a good idea, really.
When people get kidnapped, I think we should announce their role after they are kidnapped UNLESS we have an evil role that can clean up their role. This may or may not work if we allow the kidnapped to continue speaking in the main chatroom, but it is an idea. ---Announcing their roles may also backfire if we have a role that can rescue one of the kidnapped people. (Someone who rescues kidnapped people would only be able to rescue a person ONCE within the entire game)---
The other Crimson spies should know who is also Crimson. They shouldn't know which merc group the other players are in but they should know who is on their team of evil-ness. We should really have some support Crimson roles too. They would be the first to go if we didn't have enough players.
I've been chatting with Duri on skype on and off too. I'm probably going to revise Finley Blair a bit and attempt to clarify some of the roles. Maybe make up a few more roles too. Town of Salem is a really good example of what we might be able to do for roles.

I'm going to mess around with my characters as well.
Cool. It... kind of is? If you sit down and read it carefully, you can understand it. I think Homestuck could've used more editing and care, the author even admits he made it too quickly, but it is a very good read and it's worth the time.

I'm debating on tweaking the character skeleton a little bit, as a warning. Thinking about just cleaning it up a little bit and maybe modifying the personality and appearance sections. Maybe coding some of it to make it more fancy and start putting together a standardized coding style. (My English is really poor today, hope that sentence made sense)
