A Very Good Boy
Welcome to Arcadia Bay.
A picturesque seaside town, home to the prestigious Blackwell Academy, where the past meets the present. The town is a wonder upon the world – an oasis of creativity and wildlife, brimming with adventure around every corner. Relationships, family, and mystery have become apart of the town’s history, reminiscent of love gained and love lost.
You look up into the brilliant Arcadia Bay lighthouse, resting on a wooden bench with the initials ‘MxC’ carved into it’s wooden frame, as the rustles of trees and calm oceanic breeze softly blows past you. You smile, watching the sun setting after a beautiful day. This is home.
Yes, it is. This is home.
Whether you’ve lived in Arcadia Bay all your life or decided to visit the town, you feel at peace.
Life can be strange sometimes.
Murder is traditional-- the object of the game is for the players to vote out the Traitors before they eliminate everyone. There will be a total of three to four traitors per Murder event, which lasts approximately a month or shorter, depending on how fast the players discover all traitors involved. All games are structured and coordinated by a non-player host or pair of hosts.
The Host: The Game Master has ultimate discretion over Murder's rules, how it is intended to be played, and where the course of the story goes. All correspondence regarding roles is to be done through the host via Private Message, and any questions regarding the game itself should be done the same way. There will also be a Murder Discussion Thread to field group discussions, but within a game, it's always best to speak to the host personally.
The Traitors: Three people within the group have been chosen in secret to work as a team and eliminate the other players. Each round, the Traitors will choose a target for elimination along with a method that is Private Messaged to the host. The Traitors win Murder if all other players are eliminated.
Everyone Else: If the player does not have a role, they simply must stay alive and vote out the Traitors. All players, including ones with roles, can cast a single vote to banish a suspected Traitor per round, and if necessary, change that vote once per round. Best of luck!
The Traitors collectively choose to eliminate one player every round. All other players' only responsibility is to attempt to vote out (or 'banish') who they think is a Traitor every round. Anonymity is the greatest power Traitors have... exposing them could spell their doom in the next round!
A player character MUST vote 2 out of every 3 rounds. A player may also change their vote once per round. If any player fails to meet this requirement of gameplay, their character is eliminated for 'inactivity'.
It is important that players do not communicate outside of the game regarding voting choices, innocence and guilt, elimination choices, and any and all things related to the strategic element of the Game. Obviously, with the nature of the Private Messages and extra-RPNation means of communication, hosts cannot enforce this. The Honor Code has served us well with very scarce incidences, and everyone can play honestly. Remember, it's just a game! The only rewards given out are for good roleplaying and having fun, not winning. Offenders, if caught, will be completely and irrevocably removed from Murder.
Rules
1.) A fair warning for all: You will be VERY BORED if you don't find someone to interact with, and I'm certain of this. I've run RP events like this for -years-, and the key to success is character interaction. Therefore, you will need to find a partner, if you don't have one, I'll find one for you.
2.) So no one is ignored, I highly suggest you skim over other people's post. You don't necessarily have to read it all, but look for your character's name! Someone may want to talk to yah.
3.) If you're a traitor, all eliminations are done via PM -and- after the collaboration of your fellow traitors as to who to eliminate. In no way are you allowed to tell what your role is to anyone, doing so will result in immediate expulsion from the Murder event. Oh, and one final thing, if you're a traitor: Pray you aren't caught, lest you be subject to the mercy of the players.
4.) If you're not already aware, if you're sentenced to die by a traitor via PM... it's an instant dismissal! But don't fret! Once you are eliminated, there's an “afterparty” game, whose plot will be told once the first player is voted out, and eventually, you'll find your way back to the players!
5.) I can guarantee you the first day will be absolute CHAOS. Why? People will be writing prologues, trying to find partners, etc. So, like #2, try to find a partner ASAP, keep calm, and try to skim through everyone's post, searching for your name. Eventually, as the Murder Game continues on, it'll come at a steady pace... well, maybe not, there will most likely be a lot of people.
6.) There will be moments where we ask players NOT to post; this is usually before large updates or mid-round updates. Please comply!
7. )Please, -please-, no godmodding.
8.) As much as I'm overjoyed (I really mean it!) with everyone's participation in my Murder event, please try to be active. You don't have to dedicate hours on into this game, it literally lasts about a month, so you're in it for the long-run. If you can post once a day, that's perfectly fine
