Rockstar III: And Bon Scott Did Looketh Down Upon Us and Command "Let There Be Rock"

[Raistlin1040]

At the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada

Dude, this is so freaking sweet!
What?
You would not BELIEVE what just happened!
What?
Going to BLOW YOUR MIND!
Get on with it!
Alright, alright. So, I was looking at the list of who checked in this morning. Remember the other day, when there was that thing on the news about The All-Rock Tour coming in?
Yeah.
Right, so this morning, I got a call when I was manning the desk counter. This tour promoter wants to book Aerosmith, The Beatles, The Doors, and Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars to play here, at The Joint, last show of the tour. And, since it's a hotel y'know, they're going to be STAYING here.
Dude. You are NOT serious.
No man, I totally am.
No, you can't be. I looked at the guest list an hour ago, they're not here.
Dude, DUH! You can't check people that famous into a hotel under their real names. That'd be stupid. They're all under their false names and identities and stuff.
Are you serious? Not screwing me?
No man, it's totally legitimate. For real.

Raistlin and Dirk's conversation was interrupted by a tall man in a business suit striding up to the dest, and lightly placing a finger on the bell.

Welcome to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, how can I help you?
I'd like to see the guest list.
I'm sorry sir, that information is not released to the public.The man paused.
Fine. Here's my card. He took out a blank business card and handed it to Dirk.
Hey, what's the deal, this card is- BOOM. The tiny card exploded loudly, throwing Dirk and Raistlin back into a wall, dead on the spot. The man in the suit hastily hopped the counter and grabbed the guest list. He frowned.
Damn. They're under pseudonyms... Looking around warily, he quickly boarded up the hotel door, pulling out a cellphone and shouting instructions into it. The intercom over the hotel begins to speak.

Attention rockstars. As of this moment, you are captives in this hotel. You're safe for now, with all your false names, but rest assured, we WILL find you. And when that happens, we WILL have another Thriller, damnit!

This is Sheldon Stevens, of Channel Five News. The All-Rock Tour, co-headlined by Aerosmith, The Beatles, The Doors, and Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars has been halted. The musicians are trapped inside the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, with no forseeable escape. Rumor has it that they're being held captive by record executives, who want to extort the artists for cash. This is Sheldon Stevens, signing off.

Raistlin and Dirk Kris were killed. They were the Narrators. Day 1 begins, and will end in approximately 48 hours.

The Rules of RAWK

Spoiler

Show

First off, the roles.

Band Members: Rather than Masons and Villagers, Rockstar plays with Bands, a sort of combination. Each Band Member will be assigned a Name and a Band, but not start off knowing any other band members. Rockstar.

Band Leader: Band Leaders are the de facto leaders of their Band. They will also be given a Name and Band. Each night, a Band Leader has a recruitment ability. If they recruit someone who is a member of their Band, the two are introduced, and become Masons, in effect. Here's an example.

Player A is Mick Jagger, leader of the Rolling Stones, Player B is Ronnie Wood, Rolling Stones Member, and Player C is Robert Smith, Leader of The Cure. At night, Players A and C have their Night recruitment ability. Both players try to recruit B. As a Rolling Stone, Player A's recruitment suceeds, and both A and B are sent a PM telling them who each other is. Player C's recruitment fails and he is sent back a PM stating that it failed. Rockstar.

Jimi Hendrix (Seer): Jimi Hendrix, Rock Immortal, is the game's Seer. Each Night, he can consult with the Rock Gods to determine the role of another player in the mighty cosmic Purple Haze of the world...Or something like that. He will be given the player's Role, but NOT a name, if they have one. Rockstar.

Serj Tankian (Baner): As the former singer for System of a Down, and co-founder of the non-profit organization Axis of Justice, Serj Tankian is well verse din how to get around greedy corporate Execs. Each night, he can protect one player from being killed. Rockstar.

The Dating Fans (Lovers): Poor Dating Fans. Just a pair of 20somethings who came to a rock concert together on a date, they find themselves mixed up in the madness that followed. They begin the game knowing each other, but one dies, so does the other. Rockstar.

The Roadie (Fool): The Roadie has been with Jimi since day one, fixing his guitars, hauling his amps, and driving the tour bus when the driver was passed out in a hotel room somewhere. Jimi gave him a few lessons one day, and the Roadie earned a shred of skill. Unfortunately, it all went to his head, and he decieved himself into thinking HE was the legendary Jimi Hendrix. He gets a scry each night, but the results are random. If he scries Jimi, he will see him as the Roadie. Rockstar.

Execs (Wolves): The Execs have no souls. Determined to ruin the world of music by putting out generic, boring albums, they are the bane of all that is artistic. Each night the Execs will reach a consensus and send the narrators a PM detailing who they want to kill (Read: Kidnap, and force to make horrible pop albums until they're crazy, and have lost all talent). Exec.

Sell-Out (Devil): The Sell-Out was in a popular 80s glam band back in the day, but since then, he's cut his hair, wiped off his makeup, and traded in his platform boots and leather for a suit and tie, in exchange for the big bucks at the corporation. Still, he's not stupid, and his key knowledge of the music industry gives him an edge as an Exec. Every night, he can use a bit of his smarts to figure out another player's role. Exec.

NOTE: If you find other members of your band, you are not allowed to reveal that you share a band in the game thread. Saying "I won't point at X because he's in my band" will get both of you killed by the Narrators. Don't do it please.

Win Conditions: The Rockstars win if all the Execs, including the Sell-Out are killed. The Execs win if their numbers, including the Sell-Out, equal the number of Rockstars.

Autolynches: I don't do them. I don't enjoy making lists of who's voted and who hasn't, so it's most likely they won't happen. If I can work something out with a Co-Narrator, it's possible they will happen, and I will inform you guys in the game thread. Either way, PLEASE only sign up if you actually intend to play.

As per most WereWolf games, days will last about 48 hours, and nights will last around 24 hours.

(Psst! Here's the thread!)

[Murska]

I am a psychic! I knew it!

...no, having Alarra on my MSN didn't have anything to do with it. >.>

[Boo]

Wait, but if the narrators are dead, then how are we going to be able to switch day phases? We're trapped on day one!

Anyway, I point at Murska for claiming to be a psychic with Alarra on his msn. We all have Alarra on our msn!

Wait, no... How long has it been since Shadow was killed day one?

[Shadow]

Wait, no... How long has it been since Shadow was killed day one?

Actually Blue Umbrella, it's never happened before. Mainly because anyone that attempts to kill a good analyst this early... well... leave 'em to hang.

[Noir_Cat]

Rai, are you prejudice against talking Kitties? Mordy is.

Pointing at Dr. Bath because I wasn't able to do so on the LOTR thread.

Oh, yeah. Yay! Now we don't have to worry about entertaining the mob!

[happyturtle]

This dumb blonde points at Vampiric.

[Vampiric]

Well that's not very fair.

/me blasts out a couple of riffs that knock Dolly (Happyturtle) senseless

[Jontom Xire]

I point at Murska because it's almost a tradition.

Also, please wonderful narrators, could we have the player list in alphabetical order, please. It helps with spreadsheeting and trying to figure out who's playing.

Thanks.

====

Jontom Xire walks into the lobby. Errr, hey man, I'm looking for the bar. Is it this way? I don't know why I even bother. I'm gambling that my fellow band members are smart enough to spot the clue and the execs are too stupid to. This could get me killed.

[Lamech]

Vampiric I never bother with any thought on the first day.

[Fan]

Vampiric LIVE FOR THE LYNCH MOB!

[happyturtle]

I point at Murska because it's almost a tradition.

Also, please wonderful narrators, could we have the player list in alphabetical order, please. It helps with spreadsheeting and trying to figure out who's playing.

Thanks.

If you're using Google spreadsheets, hover over the column heading and click on the little arrow that appears next to 'sort'.

If you're using Excel, choose Data > Sort.

Incidentally, you can do this for any column at any time, and it keeps all the data together. For example, you can sort the column for day 1 points, and all the people voted for will go in alphabetical order, making for easy counting. Then when you're done, sort by the main list of names to put it back in order.

(Anyone who has spreadsheet questions, feel free to PM or IM me. I am some sort of incredibly nerdy spreadsheet goddess.)

[TwoBitWriter]

I don't join bandwagons often, but I'm going for Vampiric.

[Murska]

Er. Why is everyone ganking Vampiric now?

I don't like it. Jontom Xire.

[Jontom Xire]

I don't join bandwagons often, but I'm going for Vampiric.

Hmm, behaving differently to usual? TwoBitWriter must be an exec! Particularly since he says he doesn't join bandwagons often, but then joins on day one when there is least possible reason for there to be a bandwagon.

[TwoBitWriter]

I only joined the bandwagon because Happyturtle said she was proud to have started one. And, you know, I have to go with whatever she says.

[Vampiric]

Hmm, behaving differently to usual? TwoBitWriter must be an exec! Particularly since he says he doesn't join bandwagons often, but then joins on day one when there is least possible reason for there to be a bandwagon.

*coughcough*crossoutyourpoint*coughcough*



I think Two-Bit Writer is a better prospect. I mean, I haven't even checked in properly, yet! And then there's the gig this evening, man. Come on, you can't deny me 1 gig, surely?

[Dallas-Dakota]

This dumb blonde points at Vampiric.

Dallas( How fake can you make names?) mistakes the dumb blonde for a groupie and points at her, Happyturtle and whispers. Is....Is that a disguised groupie?

[Jontom Xire]

*coughcough*crossoutyourpoint*coughcough*

I did cross it out. Just as fast as this horrendously slow site would let me!

[Boo]

Actually Blue Umbrella, it's never happened before. Mainly because anyone that attempts to kill a good analyst this early... well... leave 'em to hang.

So how many times should you have been left to hang?

[Emperor Demonking]

FFF, Bandwagoning.

[Helgraf]

EDK - trying to derail a bandwagon by trying to lynch a bandwagoner, therefore must be an exec trying to save one of his own.

Ah-yep, that there be irrefutable logic, just like my Uncle Silas taught me back in the day.

[Dr. Bath]

"Get a move on!" Mr. Scruff watch in irritation as the porter ever so slowly brings Mr. Scruff's crates of tea up to his room. He sips from his teacup and looks over at FFF, the shouty one in the middle of the hall. He sighs and put on some headphones to drown out the yelling.

[Mordokai]

I'll point at RabbitHoleLost, just for the fun of it

[Mustiado]

I'm pointing at Happyturtle simply because she has the audacity to call Dolly Parton a dumb blonde. She's one of the sweetest ladies alive, even if her theme park does suck.

[Zar Peter]

Blue Umbrella, it's not day three!

[happyturtle]

I'm pointing at Happyturtle simply because she has the audacity to call Dolly Parton a dumb blonde. She's one of the sweetest ladies alive, even if her theme park does suck.

What?!

I would never ever ever disparage my beloved Dolly! I was quoting the lady herself!

Don't try to cry your way out of this
Don't try to lie or I'll catch you in it
Don't try to make me feel sorry for you
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

When you left you thought I'd sit
An' you thought I'd wait
An' you thought I'd cry
You called me a dumb blonde
Ah, but somehow I lived through it
And you know if there's one thing this blonde has learned
Blondes have more fun

You flew too high up off the ground
It's stormy wheater an' had to come back down
But I've found new thread for my old spool
Just because I'm blonde
Don't think I'm dumb
Cause this dumb blonde ain't nobody's fool

When you left you thought I'd sit

If you want to point at me, at least find a better reason. I <3 Dolly!

[Boo]

Blue Umbrella, it's not day three!

I'm not using the rule that shall not be named.

[Reinholdt]

^ I am. It's called the Murska Constant. It says he's always a wolf. Which is a time tested proven fact/rule. It's infallible. Infallible I say!

I was actually going to give Rabbit a hello point, but Mord beat me to it and I don't want to start a bandwagon against her. Today anyways.

[Lex-Kat]

Mordokai.
