Quoted from alffy Is it me or is this sounding awfully complicated?  I bet I'm the first to break the rules. lol

I was the first to break the rules... so you don't have anything to worry about.

Quoted from mcornetto I'll postpone your turn. However, you should let me know if you want to postpone within 24 hours.  It doesn't only affect me when you change the schedule - it affects everyone playing.

I apologize for that, Michael. I had it written last night but then had those questions for you which required me to re-write then today was completely fucked and I was hardly on the computer today. My bad. Won't happen again.

No worries.  Hope everything gets sorted.  

I did want to take this moment and address those that think it's complex.   There's really only three rules to follow each turn.


Kill an introduced player character

We need this rule because we need to end up with only one player character surviving at the end.  

Why will I send you a list of characters not to kill?

To allow for certain storylines and suspicion to develop.

Only move two characters from the room they start in during your turn

In the original Killer game there was a rule like this - however it was more restrictive because it only allowed you to move one.  I relaxed this rule for later games but ended up with people moving crowds around.   Not only is this difficult for me to keep track of, it's annoying to read.

Only use the terms and history provided.  Don't create new ones.

This rule is here because certain people who've played this game in the past like to go off on tangents and introduce all sorts of new concepts in the middle of a game.   This is annoying to those who are playing and have to try to both understand and continue these concepts.  

In addition, you must introduce your second player character on your first turn

Because there's kills every turn characters are going to be leaving us rather quickly.  This is to keep the gene pool fresh at the start.

Anyway, hope this helps.

And remember, this is a game, the rules are there to structure the game fairly and make it a more enjoyable experience for all involved.  

I guess that makes it my turn.

I'll get right on it.

Quoted from Matt Chisholm I guess that makes it my turn. I'll get right on it.

Did you get my email?

Quoted from mcornetto Did you get my email?

I got it, thanks.

Seems like I have a fair amount to do.

If you have any questions or need some help.   Let me know.  I should be around my email all day.

Just posted the second scene. Hope it's to your liking.

Thanks to Michael for helping with the clean-up.

Enjoy!

Excellent work Matt.  

I especially like how you used the FMD and left a piece of it around as a clue.

Penoyer79 is up next.  

I'll update things and send an email when I get home from work -- so in a couple of hours.

Everything is updated - email is sent.

Oh and Blonde is now between The boy who could fly and alffy

Okay. That should be better, hopefully. Thank you.

EDIT: That was good stuff, Matt. Somebody's using an FMD to kill people... *cue dramatic music*

Matt,

Damn fine job! Seamless.

Penoyer's entry is on it's way.  

Here's his character...

LEON NAPIER (28 ) Captain of the Guards

Speaks with a thick French accent. In peak physical condition. Flamboyant. Wears a perfectly trimmed Hitler-style mustache. Loves expensive wine and Opera.

Son of wealthy French businessman, Bernard Napier. Bernard is the chief financial backer of the Mars Colony. He is not an official Politician, but his checkbook has virtually every meaningful politician deep in his pocket. Bernard is seen by many as the world’s next rising global tyrant in the vein of Hitler, Caesar, and Napoleon. Bernard threatened to pull funding on Mars when he learned that Prisoners would make up the work force. Bernard eventually relented on the condition that his son -Leon- would run and personally oversee the Prisoner Workforce.

Unfortunately for the prisoners, this apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Leon himself is a dangerous sociopath with a Machiavellian mind/lust for power. With his father’s political clout and Commander Farthing’s mutual contempt for PIGs (and unwillingness to rock the Napier boat)… Leon is allowed to run rampant, abusing both his authority and his workforce with diabolical impunity.

I'd say he's like Clancy Brown in "Shawshank" except Bob Gunton still pulled the strings. An interesting sort of fella...
