Important: Starting Date Changed to February 26th (This upcoming Monday). I'll accept registrations Until 11:59 Saturday night. That will give me all of Sunday to arrange the spreadsheet and such.

Ok, I had an idea for a game. Basically this game is all about making secret alliances, stabbing people in the back, you know, all the fun stuff. Its incredibly simple. Everyone who signs up to play will be given a list of three people that they have to kill. In order to win, the 3 people on their list must die, and they must live until the end.

In order to kill someone you have to point at them, and 2 other people have to point at them as well. At the end of the round (approximately 2 real days) whoever has 3 fingers (or more) pointing at them is eliminated from the game. Multiple people can be eliminated per round. The game continues in this succession until there are 3 consecutive rounds where no one is eliminated. The winner of those remaining will be the person who has eliminated all of their targets. If more than 1 of the reamining eliminated all of their targets, then there will be a tie.

I'd expect there to be a LOT of finger pointing switches through each round. The end of the day is the only thing that really matters though.

Example of Play:

Player A's list to kill is Players B, C, D.
Player B's list to kill is Players A, C, D.
Player C's list to kill is Players A, B, D.
Player D's list to kill is Players A, B, C.

Round 1

Player A points at Player C.

Player B points at Player C.

Player C sends a PM to Player B and tells him that if he will remove his finger, he'll point at whoever Player B tells him too.

Player B agrees and switches his finger to Player A.

Player C also points at Player A.

Player D take the opportunity to point at Player A to eliminate him from the game.

Player A sends a PM to Player D and tells him if he removes his finger he'll point at whoever Player D wants him too. Player D says no thanks and lets Player A perish.

48 hours culminates, Player A is removed. Round 2 starts, etc.

I wouldn't want to start this game until probably March 1st or so (plenty of time for registration if enough players are interested, enough time for Survival Horror to perhaps be over, etc).

So, anyone interested?

Fingers a'pointing: (Updated as of post # 48)



If you notice something wrong (as of the current update) please let me know ASAP!!!

[Jontom Xire]

Whoohoo it's Monday and I get first post!

Woot!

Ok, who wants to form an alliance or something? I'll point at your targets if you point at mine, etc.

PM me.

I still think it ought to take more than three votes in the early rounds.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Oh dear...did I miss this one, too?

[Jontom Xire]

So who's going to be the first to point and make a target of themselves?

Oh ok, I'll take the risk.

Jontom points at Cobra Ikari.

[Tormsskull]

Ok, this "day" will officially end on Wednesday @ 9PM EST. I'll have the updates available sometime after that & then declare the start of a new day.


P.S.
Jontom, Cobra isn't actually in this game. He was commenting on the fact that he missed registration.

[Castaras]

Mmkay.

Now, who should I point at...?

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*Points at The Chris* Maybe he'll make a witty or snarky comment about me now.

[Castaras]

Eh, might as well.

* Points at Silkenfist *

[Lucky]

Seconded.

*Points at Silkenfist

I just have a feeling he'll be too good at this game, so might as well take him out now.

I know. I was being silly.

Jontom points at Silkenfist

[Zar Peter]

OK, let's do some random pointing here

* Zar Peter points at Kyrian *

[Shadow]

(post to get subscribed while I figure out who to point at!)

[Meynolds]

A man sits down somewhere making sure that his back is not to the door, and he *Points at DarkLightDragon* (Chosen at random from the list of the living)

[Alarra]

(Do you think maybe it might work better to make it the person that has the most votes, rather than anyone that has 3?, that makes it so easy to get them out...Also...Indurain signed up and isn't on your list.)

[Silkenfist]

I see that some of you have chosen me as their target. I don't know whether I am on your list, whether you just want to see a rival die or if you are just trigger happy.

I don't want to be in the middle of such a battle and I don't think you want to be in it either. I give you some time to withdraw your fingers, after that I will employ countermeasures at whoever is still pointing at me.

[Jontom Xire]

Nothing personal, Silkenfist. You're not even on my list. You're on an ally's list. Well actually you're on several of my allies' lists.

I have quite a big alliance already. Retributional strikes by friends of Silkenfist would not be advisable because the rest of the alliance would see that as a threat and retaliate. You might survive. You might even win the war, but many of you would be taken down.

Silkenfist has his three votes. If any of those chicken out there are plenty to replace them. You can't save Silkenfist. Don't risk yourselves trying.

Oh, I was already expecting this. But thanks anyway for confirming.

Castaras, Lucky: Jontom has mentioned that he is willing to risk a clash of alliances to get me killed. This means that every smart person will associate you with the group, JX is speaking of. If you keep your fingers pointed at me, you will be considered part of the hostile alliance, but if you don't belong to it, you will receive nothing in return. You risk to become cannon fodder for a group you aren't even part of.
In both my and your interest, I can only tell you to withdraw your fingers. If Jontom Speaks truth, he will have to replace your fingers with member of his own alliance. Why should you do the dirty work for them?

[Tormsskull]

(Do you think maybe it might work better to make it the person that has the most votes, rather than anyone that has 3?, that makes it so easy to get them out...Also...Indurain signed up and isn't on your list.)

I had considered that, but I think being able to eliminate multiple opponents in 1 round adds another layer of scheming possibilities, and I'm all about the scheming possibilities. Plus you can't protect yourself simply by making sure someone else gets more votes than you.

As far as Indurain, I totally missed him. However, 1 person already PMed me asking if they could drop out because of all the other games their in. Let me confirm with that person, the we'll just do a simple swap. Thanks for catching my mistake Alarra.

[DarkCorax]

Hmmm... while I figure out who to ally with, I will point at some random person to stay active *DarkCorax Points at Gnome Barbarian*

[Kyrian]

Hmm... Kyrian points at Raistlin1040

[Indurain]

*phew* *extra phew for character minimum*

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

*points at Gnome Barbarian*

I never much trusted guys who can bite your knees off in a frenzied rage.

[PirateMonk]

Hmm... Kyrian points at Raistlin1040

Sure, why not. Points at Raistlin1040.

[Raistlin1040]

*raises eyebrow*
points at Kyrian

[Deathcow]

Points at Raistlin1040

Edit: sneakily re-aims finger at PirateMonk

[DarkLightDragon]

*DLD points at Kyrian*

[Selrahc]

*Points at Death*

[Tormsskull]

Important:

I got confirmation from Krystal_Tiger that she is dropping out. Indurain will be taking her place. If you have Krystal_Tiger on your hitlist (your 3 targets) please change her name to Indurain. Thanks & sorry for the confusion.

Indurian, I'm PMing you your three targets now.

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

*Death points to JX

Higher authority made me do it.

[Silkenfist]

*points at JX

You had your chance and you didn't take it. I'll be meeting you at the Styx.

Castaras, Lucky: I can only repeat my offer. Get yourself out of this and see whether JX has own muscle to back himself up. If you keep following him, you will be considered his lackeys.
