Ok this is basically a SIM board game that I've made up and it requires at least 8 people before it can begin.


Brief Summary
I choose 1 person to be the "murderer" and they sign up with a new account on the board that they use only for the sake of this game. All the members of this 'Murder Mystery' have to figure out which member is the "murderer" based on the 2nd account made by the person that I choose as the "murderer". So the murderer is also posting with their normal user account with the rest of the members that are part of this mystery, trying to hide their identity as well as possible.



To make the rules short
On each day, everyone must agree on a question to ask first, once everyone has picked a question they want to ask, the murderer answers the question with the most votes (based on 8 preselected questions). After that, everyone must pick who they think the murderer is and if the member who is the murderer is voted the most, the mystery is solved. But if the murderer isn't figured out, the murderer chooses to kill someone and the next day begins. If murderer isn't figured out by the end of Day 4, murderer wins.


Rules
The murderer has agreed to answer 1 question per a Day (for a total of 3 throughout the entire game and the question will be answered before anyone guesses at who the murderer is). So the members in this Murder Mystery must talk back and forth in the Murder Mystery thread to decide on a question to ask the Murderer (which they basically vote on 8 pre-selected questions and the question that gets the most votes gets asked but if 2 questions tie for most, no question is asked). The questions will basically be personal questions that the person chosen as the "murderer" has to answer honestly and they also have to explain why that is their answer; an example question would be "What is your favorite animal" and the murderer would answer with what their favorite animal is and why it's their favorite animal.

So basically the murderer has to make sure no one see's him sign out and back in with their murderer account. They also have to make sure that no one can figure out who they are based on how they answer the question (they should probably talk differently than the normally do) and also not act suspicious with their ordinary account since they will try to act like their an ordinary member trying to solve the mystery.

All the members must pick who they think the murderer is and if the murderer gets the most votes, than all the members have solved the mystery and those who voted correctly each get 5000 Viz. If the murderer is not picked correctly (based on the member with the most votes), than the game goes on to Day 2.

At the beginning of each day (but not the first), the murderer (with their murderer account) selects 1 member that they want to kill and that member no longer is part of the Murder Mystery. The murderer specifies who they kill in the thread. So this means that 3 people will be killed total. The Murderer may choose to kill anyone they want and it can be based on anything (for example: kill who you think might be able to figure out who you really are, kill someone to throw everyone off, etc).

There are 4 days and if the murderer isn't figured out by the end of the 4th day (after everyone has voted who the murderer could be), the Murderer gets away and he gets 10,000 Viz.



So sign up if you want to play by responding and as soon as we get 8 people, it'll begin.

Can i participate ?

yeah, this sounds fun, I'm in.

Count me in; this'll be fun for me during the Vizzed Isle break.

Yes, anyone can participate...this makes 3 so far, just need 5 more. This will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Can we make this a little more like mafia? So that the person voted off dies? Makes it more interesting.

I join.

Sign me up LOL

That would be an interesting rule..hmmm.....well the thing I like about the murderer selecting who to kill is that you can base your action on the following day based on who the murderer kills and that can add some strategy. But I like your idea a lot to, maybe if this is successful enough, I'll make another one and that'll be the new rule.

There is a slight problem, it says we ask the murder questions but if the murder answers them his alternate account could be jepordized in the process. So how will the murder answer the questions? Should we just have the murder relay the answers to you David? That seems like the only way it would really work.

The whole point is that whoever is selected as the murderer signs up with a new account on the board and logs in with that account to answer the question and also logs into the account to say who they want to kill. That also is where some tactics come in because people can watch to see who signs out and back in as the murder so the person selected as teh murderer has to be pretty tactical about when they login and how they go about it.

let me in, this seems really cool

Wow, that's 6 already! 2 more.

Oh I think you misunderstood, what i meant was that the murderer kills somebody, then during the day everyone votes on one person they think are the murderer to die, so both the murdered and the person voted off dies.

Makes for more excitement in who to vote off.

If every person we voted for would die ,there would be nobody left to kill the killer

it would be whoever gets the most votes

There's still a problem with DM's idea though. If there are 3 days total, and if we allowed the killer to kill 3 people and the people to kill 3 people, on the final day their would only be 2 people left. Having to many people die becomes a little unfair - if we had more than 8 people, like 12 people, than it would work but we'll probably have to few of people for it to work your way DM.

how about, it only works if more than half the people votes for someone (so if there are 8 total then 5 would need to vote for the killer, if it's an odd number of people like 7, you round up so 5 votes still are needed)

We'll just stick to the rules we got for now and next time we can change things up.

All we need is 1 more person to begin.

I'd play.. but I realized that admins (full mods aswell?) cant play.. We have that IP token above every post..
