Welcome to Gaia! ::

Froggy, Duri, Lurky, Ele, and I are working together to make a summer event for the guild. Froggy Lurky and I had joined a find the killer type game a few weeks ago and found inspiration to make one of our own! Seeing as Duri is our lovely guildmaster, we thought it would be a very much recommended idea to get him involved. Ele was interested, so she's helping too.
So far we've decided that the game would be role play based and centered in Lida. It is Crimson territory, but they've opened an underground guild house. Four "young" merc groups go out to claim it as their home base, but until Crimson is pushed out, they must act under the radar. Even though they are all being careful, Crimson already knows about it and hires spies to kidnap members from the mercenary groups. (Maybe in an attempt to scare them away or maybe just for giggles.) That's what the game is based on!
The goal is to find and jail Crimson's spies before all of the mercenaries have been kidnapped!

★The Kidnappers
At least two players will have this role. Each round they PM the mule the player they want to kidnap, which is why this role play game is centered around finding out the true identity of the kidnappers and jailing them. Their main job is to evade the other players and kidnap all the other players. Their kidnappings will be written out by the hosts and the kidnappers can PM the mule to specify a type of signature for the kidnappings. In addition to the ability to kidnap, kidnappers have the option to transfer their kidnapping powers every three rounds to another player by choosing a number that will correspond to another player. This action is called, "Taint". After using "Taint", the player will no longer be a kidnapper and will be called a, "Tainter". There is no special action in this role, meaning the Tainter only has regular voting actions like the mercenaries except a Tainter has ties to Crimson. Being a Tainter means that this player will not win if the kidnappers are caught after a long duration of this game.

★The Mercenaries
This is a role everyone has even if they have a special role. The main objective for the Mercenaries is to discover and jail the true kidnappers and also Crimson minions. This role's ability is to vote out another player every single if they suspect them of being one of the kidnappers. Whoever has the highest votes, they will be jailed. When they miss a voting session or round, they will be scolded by their respective mercenary group leaders, but they will receive one strike for every voting missed. After three strikes, the truant will be sent to Red Rose Psychiatric Hospital and be disqualified from the game.


★The Bartender
Because of this role's habitual way of tending one of the busiest bars of Lida, nothing seems to pass by without first being picked up by the Bartender. This is an investigative role that receives one clue every round. For every two rounds, the Bartender can choose a number that corresponds to each player to check if the player is Crimson aligned; this is the special action for this role.

★The Liberator
As the name implies, the Liberator can save the kidnapped every three rounds.

★The Eagle Eyes
A promising and hopeful role that chooses one fellow player each round to look over and make sure he/she is not kidnapped. If the Eagle Eye wants, he/she can protect himself/herself. However, if both kidnappers work together to kidnap the player the Eagle Eye choses to protect that round, the player will be kidnapped due to two kidnapping actions and only one Eagle Eye protective action. It is also possible for two Eagle Eyes protecting one player to ensure he/she will not be kidnapped.

★The Mistress
A seductive and charming role that finds out each role of any player by picking a number corresponding to every player. Each of her seductions happen every round and will be written out and posted in the thread.

★The Thief
This role has the ability to steal another player's role action. (The Thief cannot steal the Kidnapper’s taint action. For Psychic and Crimson’s minions, the Thief can only steal these roles voting actions.) Whomever the number it was, their actions are canceled and whoever the thief specified in the form will be what happens instead. If the thief steals a voting action of a mercenary player, the tally changes to the thief's liking and will be displayed on the public post in the thread. However in the event of the thief's victim having a special role, the thief only steals the special action, not the vote.

Example:


★The Arsonist
This role will have the ability to influence one player each round to carry out a doubling in their role action(s) for that round. They can do this by sending a PM of a number that will correspond with each player.

★The Freak
This role will have the ability to terrify another player to the point of not being able to do their role action(s) for that round. They can do this by sending a PM of a number that will correspond with each player.

★The Psychic
This role will be able to choose a number each turn and learn who that number belongs to. (I.E. the psychic messages the mule "I wish to see number 6" and the person the number belongs to is Duri. The psychic then learns that number 6 belongs to Duri.)

Crimson Minions
These Crimson Minions can be seen as support roles to help the cause of the kidnappers.
★The Herring
This role acts as a decoy for the kidnappers, so the special action that comes with this role is the ability to send out one fake clue for two rounds. The Herring must PM the mule when the time comes of something along the lines of, “I want to send a fake clue out”.

★The Surgeon
This role can convert other players into Crimson minions every five rounds by choosing a number that correspond to each player and PMing that number to the mule. Players will keep their special actions but are aligned with Crimson.

★The Framer
A Crimson support role that frames other players as being Crimson for every two rounds. If an investigative role investigates the same number as the Framer frames, the number/player will show up as Crimson no matter what for the investigator. (FOR THAT TURN ONLY!)

Inactive players will be subjected to being removed from the voting process and being shipped to the Red Rose Psychiatric Hospital. Inactive players are deemed too unstable to be a part of traditional legal interactions. There is not a rescue from this state, given that we will try to be as lenient as possible in the first place. Maybe with extensive discussion with moderators and a unanimous vote, a person can be returned to play with a "new medication" to stabilize their minds.

Each player will be put in a mercenary group, which marks as their alliance. You see, people playing these types of games aren't going to be very good about making alliances and sometimes they're floaters. Even though people will be in an alliance, they won't know who's in it.

We dress up as the NPCs we pretend to be. These NPCs are the leaders of each mercenary group.
