Just finished my entry, having someone take a look at it before I post. Man it's tough at first introducing so many characters, should be easier from now on though.

Good job Jordan, getting the tough stuff out of the way.   The information at the start of the thread has been updated and Pia has been notified that she's next.

Wow, I have to say I am beyond impressed with everything Michael.

Good job putting this together. Even if it is a tad intimidating to newcomers...

No worries.  If those intimidated newcomers have any questions they are most welcome to ask.  This is kind of a site-grown game that's evolved here so I might be skipping some info I assume people know.

For example, the color of the letter dots in the room diagram...

Green - that player is writing.
Red - that player isn't writing.
Orange - that player isn't writing but they've taken a turn and therefore may be killed off.

And there's one more color that you'll see soon enough.

So please ask questions if you don't get it.

Quoted from Grandma Bear
My part has been posted. Hope it makes sense and wasn't too short. I was a bit under the weather today after eating something bad at a dog show yesterday.

One thought, I have a hard time keeping the characters sorted in my head. Is there any way we could give them names instead of letters?


If it helps any, Pia, I was thinking that M might have been called Miggs for some reason. Don't have a clue why though! Let me know if you can figure it out.  

Just read your post and I love the suspicious elements you've got going! And using the make up artist right off the get go-- really good thinking!!!! Taking advantage of that sort of thing. Way to go!

I hope that you're feeling better soon. I know I was really sick during the writing of the OWC. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

Wow. Nice going Pia.

I can understand the letters getting a bit confusing.  The worst are A and I, they just usually don't read right.  But I picked using letters for a reason.  The reason is because it makes us concentrate more on the character's voice - simply because they are hard to differentiate if we don't.  See, I'm always thinking about you guys learning.

Great job with the entry...I'll have an update soon -- Mr. Blonde is next.  

EDIT: Game info updated.

This is really cool Good job so far, guys!

I'm wondering if it's possible to get a layout of the train - like where the sleepers are in relation to the dining car, etc.? Might help for continuity...

Hey Guys!

This is my first master killer game.
Hope my "E" bio wasn't too lame.

Michael, I see you jumped on the OCD part pretty quickly!
Thought I should through some fodder in there to entice writers.
An OCD producer with a dark past on a doomed movie set might fit that bill.

Love the bit about the Chinese symbol. I learned something new.
Or you pulled  fast one, heh. Do I look Chinese? LOL.

Jordan, you got the thankless task of many intros.
You availed yourself well. Good call on setting up some friction with some.
Crisp dialogue, like the cavalier wit on the differing industry types.

Pia, nice jolt with the makeup effect. Classic whodunit prep fun!
And I dig ending with the intrigue to hook into the next bit.

This is gonna be fun!

Regards,
E.D.

It's a good thing that I signed up for this. I'm so happy that I have a room by myself. Thanks Michael.
