Ok rules are ironed out. Go check. Some work still being done on item list. Please say hi in your QTs so we know you're still alive and give us an Alias.

Pretty much what TBFProgrammer said. Also I had to do a lot of dice rolling and I want Bladescape to look over my results to make sure we don't have too much X or too little Y.

Quick question/comment about the rules:

Quote:
There are two ways to kill another player with a night kill ability. The first is to target the Alias of someone who is in the same City as the killer. If that Alias is in the same city as the killer that Alias' owner will die.

During the Day you may choose either to stay in the city you're in or move to one of the others. At the end of the Day phase it will be announced which Aliases moved to which Location. If a player hasn't moved for three Days in a row their Alias will be reported found at their Location.
So killing people is pretty easy. Location is revealed, if it's the same city the killer is in he has the opportunity to kill you, or he just moves to the same city.
Or you could just keep switching cities, but even than you're not safe, because you have the chance to end up in the same city as the killer.
Wait, I get it now. Rejoice, for my mind is enlightened!

Well, we're more or less all done here. We only need Oddity to check in and give an Alias. He's been on recently so, anyone of the opinion we should wait more than a day to hear from him before seeking a replacement? It's been several days since we PMed him to respond.

Ok guys. And ladies. And whatever the heck it is that you are? We're about ready now so the game should be starting soon (later today or sometime tomorrow). So yeah, make sure you're wearing your thinking pants.

I'm beginning to put 'Role PMs' in everyone's QT's. Which contains all information you know about yourself. Feel free to explore and converse in any QT links provided, but the game does not start until the opening narration is put up, which may not be until tomorrow morning(Roughly 10 - 14 hours from now.).

Well... All information should be done. Anything I've missed will be fixed by Ramsus when he comes along.

I'll get the narration up, and start the game, once I wake up tomorrow.

This is called 'that couple of hours before the narration when everyone realises the silly aliases they could've used that no-one did.'

I'm surprised no-one went for Bladescape, just so that, for once, the narrator would be a valid target...

Eh. I'm confident no-one wil get mine, so I'm happy with it.

Opening Narration:


A thousand stars coloured the sky. A thousand, each with a world, lives, deaths, games...

All of them were unique, but all followed the same pattern. All followed the eternal pattern of life. Few times is this dictated course swerved from. And this was one of those times.

A ripping of cords, as people, living, breathing, enjoying were torn from their life. Cast out of the world, and into a zone of darkness. The sudden shock, coupled with them waking up in a dark zone, with no aparant floor but the stars all around.

At first, all that could be seen is the crowd of people, looking around confused...

Then, a laugh echoed through the darkness, and upon a stand stood a man in white and black robes, decorated quite extravagently with baubles and such. Upon his face was the two sided mask. One downturned in sadness, the other half laughing gleefully.

"Welcome!"

The voice was loud and booming voice, the stand rising up from the ground as a pillar.

"I hope you enjoyed your dreams." The mirth in his voice was gleeful, as if a small child just having been given a new toy.

"You are the chosen, by destiny, fate, or whichever guiding hand you choose to believe in. To play this game. I assure you, this is no ordinary game. It is a game of wits, of cunning, and of inclinations to survive.

Oh yes, you will likely die in this game. Don't let it worry you, death is only the first step, and I think you'll find it both wonderfully freeing and surprisingly ineffectual at preventing you from taking part.


Of course..." The moment seemed to stop as the malevolance creeps into the speakers voice.

"You each have a card around your neck. It will provide all information you need. Below you are the stages in which you will play this game. Starting with the dayvoting phase."

Everyone's eyes immediately swivled downwards, to see six cities, interconnected by bridges. Each floated in space, a lump of land holding around it's base. Each from a different part of what you all call home in your memories.

"Dreams are such fragile things, aren't they? Some of you are allies in one thing, and enemies in another. You will find yourself forced to choose between helping an enemy, or hurting an ally.

But most of all, you must be wondering... How will mere pointing kill anyone? Well, you are each far more than mere now, you'll discover those changes eventually. More importantly, the one with the most votes will have something... unfortunant happen to them."


Clicking his fingers, everyone begins to descend towards the ground beneath as the man above laughs.

"And Always Remember To Play Nicely"

"I'll search thread number twenty four today, I think..." Xan spoke, mostly to himself as he switches his mindset to survival. This game won't claim his life, and if it does it won't be without a fight. He stopped abruptly, as he rub his temple slightly. "Bleh, I think I'll sit down first... though, a pitched fight for survival can come later." He muttered as he tried and failed to find a seat. "Well, then I guess I'll stand..." Xan grimmaced as he rub his lower back, wishing desperately for the sweet relief of a chair.

Hey now, get that red text away from me! I shouted, still stuck pondering the implications of role playing as myself. Do I go with first person, or does the pseudodragon talk in third person? I'll continue to wonder exactly what do do as The Grimmace heads to post 6 to search for treasure.

Poppa Penguinator stood glowering in the distance. He had already set up base within the few moments the podium creature had been speaking. His minions were less competent than usual, perhaps because they had been introduced to a separate plane. He sighed, rubbing his temples. This was not a good day for the Dyviil.
"We're under attack!"
"Of course we're under attack. We're under attack every single day for the last thirty years. I told you this would happen, and we've been prepared for it. I even showed you how to operate your damn weapons by myself. If you can't understand how to kill even the simplest foe, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you go."
"Th-their forces are led by some sort of Eldritch Knight!"
"And? Nothing I can't handle. Now shoo, before I turn your brains into mush."
Drawing his sword, the Dyviil prepared himself for the coming battle.
