User blog:Neoexlucky/Community Free-join Murder Roleplay

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the interest check of a wonderful game! A game of MURDER! I’m your lovely host NeoExlucky and I am here to see if anyone would be interested in playing a little *ahem* game with their characters.

Here’s how the game works. You play as one of your characters trapped inside the halls of a school(Location may vary if I decide to find a better spot.). There, you roleplay as your character alongside the rest of the cast as you try to investigate what happened before all this. The catch? One member of the cast is secretly a killer, and one of you will play as that killer. This requires a bit of secrecy as the point of this roleplay/game is to find the killer and get out of the school.

If you think you know who the killer is, you may accuse them of this, this will cause a trial to happen, and if the majority rules, that person will be executed. There’s no guarantee that the person you killed is the killer though, and who knows what secrets this place may have, or what madness it may cause. By investigating you will find a wide assortment of clues that can help you find out

You will require some form of private communication to talk with me as well as other players if you wish to have a private conversation at night (Perhaps we could use that lovely discord server, or skype.) Every character will be given a role, at the start of the game that will give them access to something. It could be something such as a key to unlock some secret or a gun to pull some vigilante justice at night. The killer, who is decided at random, will be given their a knife to use commit the murders. Other items and even abilities can be found at night as well, allowing you to gain more abilities. Roles could include:

Murderer - kills people at night, cannot kill during the day, if you die you lose, if the victims escape, you lose. Prince - gets two votes during a trial (Discreetly of course) Investigator - gets more clues when exploring the school Detective - gets more clues when investigating murder scenes Bodyguard - can protect someone from being killed, but cannot protect them self Night Owl- can investigate thoroughly at night (Note: the killer will get hints as to who you are when you do this.) Etc.

Items could include:

Bulletproof vest - prevents death from a gun once Gun - Can kill someone without a trial once Screwdriver - Can unscrew things! Etc.

During the day, you may interact, question each other, investigate murder scenes (if there are any) explore the school, and hold trials. However at night, you will either wait for day to come, die, or use your night abilities if you have any. This is especially where discord/skype will come into play. After all, we wouldn’t want to reveal your role to the killer.

But wait, what if the killer dies? Good question! Even if you find out who the killer is, and execute them, your safety is still not guaranteed. There is no telling what may find in the school halls, what diseases, or insanity, or even traps that you may find! Maybe something you discover will turn someone into a new killer? Maybe there are two of them? Maybe the killer has an accomplice? The possibilities are endless!

Finally there are rules, of course:


 * 1) No meta-gaming (all private conversations will have to have me involved.)

No talking about details of the game (sharing screenshots, etc.) outside of roleplay PMs. This will be a bit of an honor rule, but I trust you guys, so whatever.

Everyone gets one character to play as. No more, no less.

All characters are considered (Normal) once the game begins. No kinesis/magic/weapons/immortality/invincibility/etc..


 * 1) This obviously makes this roleplay non-canon to your character's history, which means they can die!

Also, all weapons have been stripped of your characters, so they don’t have any of those either.


 * 1) The only weapons allowed are those found in the roleplay.

No killing outside of what roles or items allow.

No sexual content! (This is a game about murder, not...that...)

You can’t dodge dying. If the killer comes for you, and you have no item to protect yourself from it. You die.

Likewise, if you don’t have an item to kill someone, you can’t kill someone.

Follow the rules of the roles. Each role has a specific set of rules. (Example: Killer can only kill at night.)

You gotta keep posting! Roleplays don’t work if no one posts!

These rules are all liable to change and I may make additions if I feel there need to be. This could even be during the roleplay, you will be notified in character if that does happen. Rules may also be taken away if I choose to!

Your characters can, and probably will, die. That’s okay! Just have fun!

Anyway, this is just a pitch of an idea. It’s as much of a roleplay as it is a game, and I think it might be fun. An interest check is important, but I’d also like to do a test run with maybe five people just to see how it might play out.

If this does work out, I’d actually like it to be a thing. Maybe like, a big (Unofficial because I’m not staff) roleplay that we do, maybe once a year during the summer, or in between voting seasons or something. Just a roleplay to get the community together and have older members roleplay with some of the newer members. Anyway, it’s just an idea!
