[BasketOfPuppies]

So I'm confused. Why are people posting secrets? Don't they not want people to know what they are?

[Deathslayer7]

I would be very surprised if they were real secrets BoP.

[Lex-Kat]

Yeah. It's a 'thing' some of them do. I... never have understood why. Perhaps to add to their character before RPing?

[DiscipleofBob]

So I'm confused. Why are people posting secrets? Don't they not want people to know what they are?

Posting fake secrets has been done in most of these games that I've seen.

I mean... Yup, that's totally my real secret and you should definitely guess that of my character. No way it's fake or anything.

[Silent_Interim]

Someone should delay posting their real secret and put one of the fake secrets a theirs. That would be interesting.

[Cyber Punk]

Good to see y'all again, Airea.

Don't worry, BoP. You'll find that your fears are unfounded when the game starts, unless you end up having rotten luck.

[Airea]

Which can happen. Someone has to die first.

Nice to see you to Eagle.

[Penguinator]

Yeah. It's a 'thing' some of them do. I... never have understood why. Perhaps to add to their character before RPing?

Last minute joke before the killing starts?

For my fake secrets, I usually pick something that would be incredibly obvious. For one, it discourages new players from giving something totally obvious as their secret (trust me, I've seen some bad ones). Second, like you've guessed, it adds something to the character before we start.

I think the first person I remember doing it was Zar Peter. Doesn't mean he was the first to do it, but he's the one I remember.

[Cyber Punk]

We have 10 people! Yay!

So, do we need the 5 more, or should we leave it at that? Seeing as people like Lord Fullbladder, Peebles etc are having life happen to them...

Either way, signups last till 6PM (GMT+1) on 16th October, 2015!

Edit: 10 or 12 it is, then. It's 4am and it's gonna be a busy day for me, so I'll pop in later and write the start of the round!

What're some of the worst?

[Lex-Kat]

Ten is a good number of assassins.

[Penguinator]

I think 15 is a lot of people for this game. I think Kensen said it was best built for 12 or 13, maximum.

What're some of the worst?

There was once a character who wore a Guy Fawkes mask whose initial secret was "Is a V For Vendetta tryhard." I had them change it. Among others.

[Cyber Punk]

That's the precise reason I used Situs Inversus as my secret in my first game, the one Lex ran. The point, BoP, is that you PM me your secret guesses e.g. Senator Yobslammer (Flaming Eagle) has only seven toes. If I had gone with 'has never invented anything in his life', as Ivan was an inventor, I'd have died at the first round.

Also, see edit above. I'll post the start of Round 1 soon.

[Penguinator]

There are also people who intentionally pick something that fits another person's character - those people usually die quickly.

(Ex. My character in Gunsmoke was Cardinal Oritharos. Someone else's secret was, "Wears red underwear." They died in the first round. I can think of another example more recently where the exact same thing happened.)

GAME START

THEME:
You are one of the corrupt cops in the county with ties to the local mob. Now, here you stand, at the site of an abandoned police station, with orders from the mob to clean up loose ends, namely the other corrupt cops in the county. Should you survive, you will be greatly rewarded. Unbeknownst to you, however, all the others have received the same order, with the same promise of greatness.

What is in fact known to you is that turning down the offer can mean certain death, as it will paint you as more loyal to the precinct than to the mob, and the mob is wary enough of cops as it is...

Steeling yourself, you begin to step forward as you start your hunt for all the others. You know none of them will go down without a fight, so you'll need to uncover their darkest secret, it'll make the 'cleanup' easier.

Description- these pups are always together, as they've learned through their time that what they lack in size they make up for in brutality and working with each other's skills.

Rex goes for the throat once they're down, and Spot goes for their mouth, doing what he can to keep them silent.

There are also people who intentionally pick something that fits another person's character - those people usually die quickly.

(Ex. My character in Gunsmoke was Cardinal Oritharos. Someone else's secret was, "Wears red underwear." They died in the first round. I can think of another example more recently where the exact same thing happened.)

I've actually seen that go both ways, dying early and lasting to the end round. Guess it's a gamble.

[Deathslayer7]

my secret is He really likes chicken

I don't know who you are, but I will find you... and I will stuff you.

[Cyber Punk]

Let the RPing begin! Seriously, it'll help me get a handle on your character, and will be an immense help when typing out resulting narrations.

[Airea]

Juliet fixed her jacket, careful to look professional and exact. Looking around the room she was actually taken aback. This was either one of Sean's weird plans or she really needed to get help after this. Puppies?

Nonetheless she had a job to do, she had gotten this far. Now she had to figure out the mob ties these people were hiding. And try not to die in the process.

[BasketOfPuppies]

The pups, wearing their K-9 vests, Look at the rest. They'll have to isolate people if they want a chance of taking them down. Hoping to get a body on their side, Rex (a golden lab) walks over to Juliet, sits at her feet, and looks up at her with big puppy-dog eyes.

[DiscipleofBob]

For Detective Lassiter, the abandoned police station is familiar territory. He's come ahead of schedule and secured the old chief's office for himself to hole up in for the time being. That is after he checked out the armory which had expectedly already been cleaned out. He's already checked his gun, and his sidearm, and his side-sidearm, and all he has to do is wait for his partner to show up. In the meantime, he goes over the files he has on the targets. A bunch of corrupt cops that he'll have no problem putting cuffs and behind bars, but in these circumstances he might have to take them down for good, and that's fine by him.

[Penguinator]

"...Bonne idee, mais, je ne sais pas." Immanuel could be found on the phone in his office, or what passed for his office. He wasn't a cop, per se, so it was little more than a 6' by 6' with a desk, a phone, and a laptop. He kept a potted plant, it reminded him of home with the other elves. The conversation was coming mostly from the other end, and Immanuel sat there, nodding. "Merci, j'ai les autre affaires." He hung up the phone, shaking his head. Glancing up at the wall to his list of contacts, he wondered what use it was knowing so many people who had no information.

[Silent_Interim]

Captain Harvey walked directly into the building and sat down on the receptionist's desk, ignoring everyone else in the building. He paid no obvious heed to tactics, though his spot was a surprisingly good one, and paid no apparent mind to those around him, though he was fully aware of them. He balanced his file on his knee, and taking a bite from his doughnut and a sip of his coffee (somehow at the same time), began to read. He glanced up occasionally and waved at passersby.

[Duck999]

Bob pulled himself out from under the car he was fixing. He takes a look around, noticing all the suspicious looking characters. He jumps into the car, which is now fixed, and takes off on a very fast ride around town.

[Deathslayer7]

As Bob is driving around, a voice yells loudly. BANG! DEAD! A split second later Colonel Sanders pushes his head forward and into Bob's view. You are getting soft Bob. Always check the back. Always. He scoots past Bob into the passenger seat and puts on his seatbelt. Acting as if nothing happened, So what do you think of the mess? he asks

[Airea]

"And yet somehow you're corrupt, its sad really. Such a cute little guy." Juliet looked at the puppy. In another life she'd take him home, where she and her husband would give it the kind of life normally seen in tv commercials.

She knew her partner would want to keep his position and made her way to the chief's office. As expected he was there laying claim to the desk.

"We're in. Lets do this."

[Robert Blackletter]

Tom Bobson, watched the building where the training exercise was to take place. When he receive the invite and read the names taking part he couldn't believe it, they were some police celebrities taking part. He made sure to bring his trading cards, he be the envy of all the other child police cadet force member when he get his Cpt. Harvey Gordon signed. Hell even having Det. Carlton Lassiter sign his card would double its value.

Tom enter the building by the back door and pulled out his pistol ( a spud master 3000, the best spud gun on the market) and waited for the other to make their move. This undercover exercise was going to be fun.

[Lex-Kat]

Maxine had woke up early that day, it was 5 mile run day. After that, she stretched, took her shower, and got ready for work. It was going to be a long day, she had a feeling, and her instincts were rarely wrong.

Driving to work in her old `69 Ford pick-up, she sighed one last time, before entering the police-dog training facility. As she got to the empty cages where her four newest recruits should have been waiting, she wasn't surprised in the least, though she did take a calming breath in, and slowly let it out. She locked up her personal items, then grabbed four leashes off the peg. It was going to be a looong day.

"Rex!!" *whistles sharply* "Come here boy!! I have some bacon treats waiting for you and your friends." *double whistle* She knew that to find Rex usually meant finding the other three. So he was the priority.
