Merry Wanderer is, by far, a much more amiable host than Through Your Eyes. He is smiling and chattering, happily interacting with the other players. His prancing form can be seen weaving about and sometimes he seems to forget that he's meant to be running a game and just starts dancing to some song only he can hear. Some might find his wide smile a touch unnerving. How could one who was about to narrate the gruesome deaths of his fellow kin look so chipper?
Some of the gathered players whisper, whenever they were sure that he isn't paying them any mind, that they wonder if that doe from last time knows that he's taken her game. Even if he did hear them, he wouldn't have minded. Beg, borrow, steal. That's what actors did, right?
When all the players have gathered, he begins:
"Thank you all for coming today! Let's tell a story together! An actor is one who is capable of putting on one mask and then another without trouble. Perhaps we are all actors and even if you are not in your normal life, I am asking you to be one today.
Let us imagine a world where there are those that are so good at acting that they can trick all our senses--sight, sound, touch, smell, and even taste. Let us also imagine that those with such immense power have chosen to use their abilities for evil; in this world, these actors have chosen to do violence. All creatures, must, inevitably live together, there is no place to escape but death. You, gathered here today, are a group of such creatures and, amongst you, those murderous tricksters--wolves if you will."
He might have specified wolves, but one couldn't help but be put off--just a bit--by his discussion of acting, he himself was a self-proclaimed actor after all. His demeanor had, by now, changed so that none could see the lackadaisical buck from before; he was all seriousness.
"So our story begins with you, trapped with those who would wish to do you harm," he paused and he flashed a ghost of a smile, hardly reassuring. "Though rest assured no real harm will come upon you; I am no wolf."
Hunting Game
On Monday, April 27th, an in character game of "Are you a werewolf?" aka "Mafia" will begin, and run until a winning team is chosen. The rules will be as follow:
This game is capped at 25 players. As such, each user is only allowed to play one kin.
If you are interested in playing, please fill out the following form and post it here, in this thread.
However, please note that all participants will be expected to post at least once a day, even if it's a short post, and vote in every round. Failure to participate in any given day will result in IC consequences in the game, possible expulsion from the game. Additionally, activity may lead to rewards and if you reach 500 words, this will count as an RP towards legendary requirements. So save yourself from blue's dark looks and get some posts in.
Mechanics
This is a game to be played in-character by one of your kin. They have been brought by word-of-mouth or by direct invitation by Merry Wanderer to play this hunting game. Perhaps they played with Through Your Eyes or heard about that particularly gory game.
By luck of the draw, your kin will be assigned to be either predator or prey. Additionally, any special roles will be assigned along with the primary alliance. You will be informed of your kin's role through PM.
Each round of game-play consists of one 24 hour day round and one 24 hour night round. During the day, all players have the chance to publicly vote to "kill" one player. During the night, the predators have the chance to vote to "kill" an additional player.
During the day, players may discuss their choice of victim until the kin are ready to cast their votes. When a vote is cast, the kin must announce their vote to the group which is indicated by bolding the name of the victim. Please do not bold anything in your post unless you mean to cast a vote. The player that receives the most votes is "killed" and is, from that point on, unable to participate in the game-play though you may choose to continue to rp your kin as an observer so long as you do not give any important information away and they do not interact with any of the other players.
During the night, the players who have been designated predators will cast their vote regarding who to kill without discussion by PM-ing Amorpheous with the name of the player they wish to kill. The player that receives the highest number of votes is "killed" and, like the player killed in the day round, is no longer able to participate in game-play.
Each day and night will begin with narration from Merry Wanderer. This game will continue until the number of prey matches the number of predators or all the predators are dead.
For the sake of fair game-play, do not reveal your alliance to anyone, even if your character dies. Additionally, do not discuss game-play in the main thread or through pm, or out-of-character in the game thread.
