    Default The Dragonspire Killers

    The Dragonspire Killers
    The town of Dragonspire had been a quiet place......until the killing began. Those who have been living peacefully have found themselves participating in lynches to kill those who are suspected in an attempt to save lives.
    Mindfreak586 presents........The Dragonspire Killers
    Player Roles
    Spoiler
    Show

    Team Innocents
    Spoiler
    Show

    Villager
    You are a Villager. You have been in town forever. Your job is to catch the killer by lynching them.
    Guardian Angel
    You're a Guardian Angel. Your job is to protect someone different every night. By day you appear as a normal villager to everyone else, letting no one know what you are.
    Special:
    Spoiler
    Show

    Everynight you can choose to protect someone from being killed once(send me a PM for this). If you choose to protect someone that two killers go after, they will die. You cannot be killed by a killer but you can be lynched.

    Team Killers
    Spoiler
    Show

    Killer
    You are a killer. Your job is to kill as many people as possible while working with your fellow killer.
    Henchman
    You are a henchman. Your job is to throw suspicion off of the killers.

    Victory:
    For the Innocents they need to kill all of the Killers. For the Killers they need to make the Innocent's members equal Team Killer's members.

    Items
    Spoiler
    Show

    Some people have been given gifts by a stranger. 8 of them contain items, 1 contains a bomb. Whoever gets the bomb and opens the box dies if it goes off. There is a 50% chance for it not to go off. There is only one of each item.
    Shield: The shield protects a person from being killed once. After that it breaks.
    Magnifying Glass: Let's you look in at one person's past once per night. If they are a Killer or a Henchman then they have a violent past. If they are a Guardian Angel then they have no past. If they are a villager they have a quiet past. Warps upon death.
    Warped Magnifying Glass: The Warped Magnifying Glass lets you look at one person's past once per night. If they are a Killer or a Henchman then they have a violent past. If they are a Guardian Angel then they have no past. If they are a villager they have a quiet past. The Warped Magnifying Glass has a 50% chance to give you the wrong answer though. Indistinguishable from a Magnifying Glass. Is destroyed upon death.
    Broken Camera: Upon your death you drop a cryptic clue of who your killer is. What it says is up to me. Is destroyed upon death.
    Bomb Jacket: When you die you blow up, taking your killer out with you. Is destroyed upon death.
    Teleporter Watch: When an attempt on your life is made, you randomly switch places with another villager. After being used once it breaks.
    Malfunctioning Teleporter Watch: Every night there is a 10% chance for you to switch places with a person about to be killed. You die in their place. When you are to be killed by a killer there is a 75% chance for it not to work. You think it's a working Teleporter Watch. Is destroyed upon death.
    Hunting Dog: You can have your dog investigate 5 people. He's very old. If any of the 5 people are a killer, he's found murdered. If they are innocent, he is found having died in his sleep. If one of the people are a henchman the dog will be found murdered. If one of the people is a killer and one is a henchman the dog will be found murdered. If one of the people is the guardian angel the dog will be found alive and will have not die in his sleep. If there is a killer and a guardian angel then the dog dies in his sleep. Can only be used until he is found dead. Isn't destroyed upon death.
    Ballot Stuffer: You can have your vote count as two votes once. Isn't destroyed upon death.

    Rules

    Spoiler
    Show

    *48-hour long Days
    *24-hour long Nights
    *2 Killers
    *3 Henchmen
    *1 Guardian Angel
    *1 of each Item
    *Killers know each other and know the Henchmen
    *Henchmen know each other and know the Killers
    *Items can be given to others or destroyed as well as taken from a dead body
    *The person with the most lynch votes gets lynched, the 25% rule is not in effect
    How to use the Hunting Dog/(Warped) Magnifying Glass/Ballot Stuffer: To use the item send me a PM. For the Ballot Stuffer simply say you wish to use it for tonight's lynching vote. For the Hunting Dog name 5 people you want him to investigate. For the (Warped) Magnifying Glass send me a PM of the guy you want to investigate.
    How the Items work: I choose 7 of the players to offer them a box. If they choose not to open it then the box is offered to someone else.
    How the Killing works: There's 2 kills every night. As a Killer you write your kill of how you kill someone(you PM your kill to me). In it you must leave a clue to your identity. You may also leave up to 2 Red Herrings. The clue can relate to you as a poster. Being lynched makes your kill null. At the beginning you have a beginning kill that doesn't kill off any players, but a random villager. This is to give players a feel for your writing style(A.K.A. Flavor Reasons). This 'dummy kill' is put in the post for the first day of the game.

    Example Beginning Day

    Spoiler
    Show

    (Random Joe) is Dragged screaming by his feet to the old oak. A noose is hanging there and it's slipped around his neck.*
    "I didn't do it!" he yelled as they kicked the stool out from under him.
    Congrats, he was (Innocent or Guilty)
    (If he had a Cracked Magnifying Glass the message goes here.)
    Example Kill:
    As (Random Joe) went to bed he noticed a magician apparently levitating outside on the streets. He shrugged it off as he laid down in his soft bed. He was awoken by the honking of a hand-held horn in his face. He sat up in bed as a juggling pin was brought down hard on his head with a sickening crunch.
    Player Killed: (Random Joe)

    Explaination: The magician apparently levitating in the street is a call out to the magician Chris Angel, or as he is more commonly known as: Mind Freak. This would be my clue towards my identity. The honking and the juggling pins are a call out to Gamzee from Homestuck. They are my two red herrings that can point to someone who openly shows their love of Homestuck, such as Derjuin, Fan, or Crimson Angel to name a few.

    Player List 17/20 places filled.

    Well you don't have to open the box. All in all you will only have a 6.25%(I think that's how it's done) chance to die from opening the box.

    A box I would afeared to get,
    For I would not place a bet,

    On luck, for that is all that makes,
    Or, if bad, can only break,

    I'll leave the betting to other men,

    I’m so in, I thought his game had died ‘long’ before I even knew about these types of games.

    Though I don’t know you-all all that well to be able to give adequate red herrings, so let’s hope I don’t end up as a killer.

    I've only played one WW type game... no, three, if you count the sci-fi themed "Infection" on another forum.
    Still, my first game on GitP, I was lynched day 1 for trying to start a bandwagon. Just an innocent villager, but a bit too hasty.

    I'll try this one. Or, I'd like to play, anyways. Given the chance.

    Only problem I see is the Guardian angel claiming he's the guardian angel and since he cant be night killed, he is okay. And since he claimed, he won't be lynched.

    Beyond that, two night kills a night plus a lynch in the day will have this game over by day 3 or 4 at the latest. Depending on whether or not we lynch a killer. Two killers seems very powerful to me. But who knows.

    What happens if all the killers die and only henchmen are left?

    Let me take a guess/stab at this.

    If more than one person CLAIM to be the Guardian angel, who really is? One might even be the killer.

    a short game could be fun. better than a long game that dies in the middle.

    The henchmen are there to vote for non-killers during the lynch vote. throw suspicion off the killers. If the henchmen outlast the killers, the good guys win, because the killings have stopped.

    Only if the Magnifying Glass is unwarped in the hands of a townie. If not there could be mislynches as usual.

    As to claiming, only killers/henchmen would try to claim to be the guardian angel as it does not befit the town to claim against him. So basically you are trading the baner for a wolf, and even then you can leave the two or three claims and just try to find the wolves.

    there's a bunch of artists in the Arts and Crafts section, who will draw avatars on request. If you request one, they usually want you to put credit in your signature.

    If you made your avatar yourself, or got it off the well known interwebz, or picked one of the one's by Rich "The Giant" Burlew available from the dropdown list, you don't (or usually don't) need to "Thank" anyone for your avatar.

    Also, what Grimmace?

    At the debate about "claiming" to be the guardian angel:
    If we're starting a band wagon to lynch a guy, and he yells out, "I'm not on team evil, guys!", do we stop the lynch, or not? Similarly, if he yells "But I'm the angel!", do we stop the lynch, or not? In fact, the angel may never claim to be so, and both killers, and three villiagers might. So, five people claim to be the angel, and we don't know which is the angel. Do we start lynching at random? Do we leave them unlynched?

    Bad idea to claim to be the angel, probably. Even if you are.
    And to point fingers, and say "He's an angel" might lead to getting yourself lynched, and saying "He's a killer" might lead to getting the angel lynched. A henchman might point that finger, even.

    Wow, this is some tough cookies. A lot of strategy for only four "classes".

    And on that note, Recruitment ends at 5:00 P.M Eastern Standard Time . This is also when I will send Role PMs. It will be on 9:00 P.M. on Wedsnday that the first day goes up. All killers need to make their cryptic kill and have sent it in a PM to me by that time. Then, the fingerpointing begins!
