General Rules & Tips
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 ran 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 kills are done via PM -and- after the collaboration of your fellow traitors as to who to kill. 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 aware, if you're sentenced to die by a traitor via PM... it's an insta-death! But don't fret! Once you die, there's an “afterlife” game, whose plot will be told once the first player death occurs, 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 are +40 people.
6.) There will be moments where I 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 in to this game, it literally lasts a -month-, so you're in it for the long-run. If you can post once a day, that's perfectly fine... but, of course, the more posts, the merrier!
Welcome to our very first “Murder” roleplaying event! Originally, the title 'Murder' started from a Garry's Mod gamemode, since then I've advanced it into a full-fledged roleplaying game involving characters from many different mediums and universes.
--------------------------------------------
ROLES:
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 among 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 do 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!
------------------------------
STRATEGIES & TACTICS:
The Traitors collectively choose to kill 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, kill 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.

IC INTRODUCTION FROM HERE:
Please, if you haven't listened to it, play the Syd Matters song, "To All Of You". The RP intro is somewhat synced to it. Link here.
((A soft acoustic guitar, accompanied by the lulling tune of maracas fades in))
A small picturesque seaside town in Oregon, not far from Portland, comes into view. The afternoon sun shines down warmly from the bright blue sky. A mixture of orange and yellow Fall leaves gently pushed by the October wind dots the landscape as we cut to--
((The scene pans over… as a wave of drum percussions and kalimba join the tune))
Picture -- a high school. A small fountain centered on the main campus, is filled with sparkling water which illuminates scores of students against it’s reflection. Some are scared, clutching their textbooks to prepare for their first day back at school. Others, the more popular students, relax on the campus’ grassy lawn, texting or catching up with their fellow classmates.
To all of you…
A quiet, shy teenager, sporting a white dress shirt and black jacket, carries an of English literature textbook with a Bible nestled underneath. She looks up at a bird chirping in it’s nest with tired, broken eyes.
American girls…
A trio of girls, each adjacent to a female sporting a black-sweater and short dirty-blonde hair, gossip near the campus’ entrance. Their eyes fixate on a cellphone screen chuckling as the tired, broken teenager passes by them.
It’s sad to…
The quiet, shy teenager hunches over, quickening her pace as tears silently stream down her eyes.
Imagine a world without you.
Inside a dimly lit dress room, an attractive hazel eyed girl adorned with an Indian feather earring on her left ear dresses up for a play.
American girls, I’d like to…
Clad in a pink t-shirt, the word ‘JANE’ embroidered in white next to an image of a deer, a girl bent over, snapping an image of a squirrel with a Polaroid camera. The woodland creature paused momentarily, as if surveying the area, before scurrying up into a nearby tree.
((The music begins to die down))
In the distance, a man dressed in civilian clothing, sat in the front seat of a black SUV, eyes fixed on the girl who began shaking the Polaroid image of a squirrel, his face expressionless.
His hand moved against his right ear, clicking the Bluetooth headset which flashed a dim blue:
Be part of the word around you.
“Command, 4635 has been located.”

PROLOGUE

Welcome to Arcadia Bay.
[IMG='width:400px;']https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/life-is-strange/images/8/86/Sac_arcadia_bay_ending_twin_peaks_reference.jpg[/IMG]
Welcome to Arcadia Bay.
It’s been two weeks. You remember traveling to Arcadia Bay—either by car, a multidimensional rift, or hell, maybe by foot—but that didn't matter. You stood up and found yourself standing next to the Two Whales Diner, a popular local diner known for their “homestyle cooking” and “old-fashioned service”. A flashing yellow on blue neon sign lit up the early morning. Stepping through the door, you’re met by a little over half a dozen patrons, mostly old fishermen preparing for their day’s work, as a rock n’ roll tune played on an old jukebox.
The crackles of an oven cooking eggs, a pair of diner patrons bitching about the Prescott Family’s latest ordeal to fuck over the town, and the scent of bacon filled the air.
A female waitress, late 40s, sporting a white skirt and dark blue dress shirt with the name tag ‘Joyce’ inscribed on the side, smiled at you.
“Welcome to Two Wales Diner, hon. How can I help you?”
The fresh aroma of coffee and wondrous sound of sizzling bacon on the grill and even the sight of perfectly round pancakes makes your senses tingle as you take a seat. It may the soft red and white seat of a booth or the somewhat harder barstool in front of the counter. The laminated paper sheet of a menu in front of you contains a wide variety of items, mostly consisting of all-American homestyle cooking such as burgers and fries, along with other favorites such as milkshakes and floats. After spending several seconds or several minutes deciding, you make your choice.
As you relay your order to the waitress, you have a look around. The diner already seems to be rather filled, with a number of patrons wearing odd costumes as well. You decide to brush it off. It is October, after all. Maybe these people are just celebrating an early Halloween. As you take a second look around the place, you seem to recognize a few patrons, or maybe you don't. Maybe you spot an old acquaintance of yours sipping from a root beer float, maybe an old nemesis nibbling on some fries, or hell, maybe even someone you long thought dead reading the news over a steaming mug of fresh coffee. Perhaps you'd like go over over and say hi, or maybe punch them in the face and call them an asshole.
But before you can, however, the chime of the morning news blaring over the TV catches your attention.
“... And this just in: The emergency broadcast system has issued a coastal storm warning for Arcadia Bay and surrounding counties beginning at 8pm. Please remain indoors and have a battery operated radio for updates on the situation as it progresses.”
Better get ready.
Between now and 1 PM MST Sunday afternoon is the prologue period. Feel free to post your character prologue. If you complete your prologue or opt not to post one, feel free to engage in character interaction!
ROUND ONE will begin tomorrow this Sunday @ 1 PM MST... as well as a little exploration I've got set up for anyone interested and the choose-your-own-adventure aspect of this Murder game!
