I'm going to delay the start of the Thief game until August. This should give some of the interested parties who are gone during July a chance to get home so they can participate.
Andrew, 47, an accountant, has never been married. Socially inept, and withdrawn, due to bad experiences, and now just out of habit. Is generally kind, but has small characteristics that put people off. Came to the resort to get away from his old life, and live off his unspent small fortune - and maybe, finally, find a partner.
Jeana-Marie is a single, thirty-something cashier with a counterfeit smile, when she smiles, and it's likely she does in a genuine way, when no one's watching. It is then that she ticks off another one of her twisted personal challenges in her Retribution Notebook, where payback is served up to the big-bad world, J.M style.
When tomorrow comes-- if it comes in its altered form, under the burden of her personality disorder, she'll only have the notebook to remind her of the other person in her life. Unfortunately, they always manage to destroy her Forgiveness Notebooks. They always destroy her chances for friendship and love. She will go to this reunion though. She will go with vague memories of the good times before these times, when she was just Jeana. Not Jeana-Marie.
From my understanding, The Thief game will be more structured and different than the Shiva game, which didn't work from an outline. In this respect, The Killer Game will be a free for all and more similar to Shiva as being something done on the fly.
Thief will work to be more structured and use an outline. There's more about this in the top of the thread.
Killer is scheduled to begin in July and Thief sometime in August.
Also a reminder to all of you that still need to supply a character, please do so - especially for Killer because I need to pick a Killer from the bunch.
Lovisa Hammare (50) from sweden. Even though a "free spirit" Lovisa is well liked in the community. She loves kids and readily babysits and bakes cookies and treats for all the children.
She lives in a cute idyllic cottage she loves to invite members in the community to. ...only very few however have ever been down into her cellar where her she keeps all her pagan stuff, including the sacrificial altar...
The game of Killer is nearly upon us. I will be picking the Killer this week. One of you will be getting that fateful email. The deadline for entering is Friday.
Also, if anyone is interested in standby writing then let me know. Sometimes we have a player that needs to miss their turn and then you would basically fill in. It's a hero's job if you're up to it.

We need many more occupants for the Thief scenario. We'll leave it open while we play Killer.
Ahhhh I'm such a dildo I totally forgot about this
Christian Blaine 20, was a genius in highschool and even got accepted to Yale, but ended up falling in love with weed, cocaine and Ecstasy. He now spends his days dealing drugs and getting high, he makes good money but blows a lot of it on his own habits. He's charming and doesn't have trouble getting laid, but they are usually just one night stands. He feels lonely a lot and sometimes wishes he could be that kid he was back in highschool, but his addictions always win that battle.
I registered interest in this one, but a terribly busy spell is largely keeping me away from SS at the minute, so will have to look forward to the product.
