It's time for another Killer game!

A small group of entertainment semi-professionals, each identified only by a letter of the alphabet, board the Simply Express train in New York -- their destination Hollywood.  Little do they know, the person who bought their tickets, their unknown benefactor 'U', has other plans for them.  These plans include madness, mayhem and murder which won't stop until all but one of them is dead.  Who is the master killer?     Is it one of those unsuspecting Hollywood bound passengers or it is 'U'?

If you're interested in playing  then post your alphabet letter and a short character description on this thread to join the game.  If we get enough interest then we'll start next week, Oct. 29th.

If you haven't played Killer before the game is a collaborative wrting excercise.  It takes about two months to play, of which you will be called upon twice to write a section of the script.  You are given two days to make a single post to the game thread.

It's good fun and you'll have a great time playing and I encourage you all to give it a go.  There's several other threads out there with Killer games if you want to do some reasearch before committing.

I'm playing, here's my character.  

'U'
I am a producer, I hide behind the scenes.

I like to hide.  I hide so well, I could be standing next to you.  I may even be you.  

I have, at the very least, known you.  In fact, I have known you so well that I have allowed each one of you to betray me.  This is perhaps my fault,  perhaps not, but I will be the victim no longer.

I have arranged this train trip to Hollywood, a place most of you dream of as a destination. Will your dreams come true, or will this be your final nightmare?  

Welcome aboard.

Six days to go...

BE A KILLER!

I did it a couple of years ago at the beginning of my interest in screenwriting. It’s fun, you make new script buddies and most important learn to write on short segments for free. If you’re worried about time, it’s only 4 to 5 pages.

The most fun is putting your spin on the story.

BE A KILLER!

Gary

The route of the Simply Express....

God, it's been a week or so since I've been here. Busy, busy. I have always wanted to try out one of these killer games. They seem like good times.

"I"

Well spoken, even tempered and emotionally shallow, "I" am heading to Hollywood for the reason everyone goes to Hollywood... to get rich. However, I'm not an actor. Although I could be if that's what it takes to "get rid of" the target. Due to my work, I'm very adept at changing my appearance from the mostly clean-cut 38-year old I am to to whatever it takes to get the job done, short of portraying a woman. As a man who deals with other people's... "problems", I am way out of my depth when it comes to talking to people as I'm much more comfortable being by myself. Maybe I'm regretting taking the train to Hollywood after all...

Welcome aboard 'I', I hope you find who, uh, what you're looking for on this journey -- unless, of course, it finds you first.

Never tried this doing my research of previous ones : D

"Z"

Strong, kind hearted, and calculated. My name is "Z" my enlistment ended last year; the SEALS taught me more than I can ever repay. I thought acting would be a peice of cake after living the real deal, but my career has been met with dissapointment. This trip to Hollywood is my chance to make it big.

Welcome aboard 'Z'.  I hope the army prepared you for the end... of the alphabet, of course.

Y




Self-professed Makeup FX wizard who likes to, em, "keep it real" as much as possible. I like to have my bag of tricks in a carry on luggage.  Speaking of baggage...My wife left me for an ex-con who got himself shot full of holes during a bad diamond heist. I wish I would have been there. Haven't heard from the ex in a week. Not that I want to. Going to CA to see if I can get work on some chessy SF creature feature...but just as long as I'm far away from her and the bad drama, that's good enough for me.


(No relation to The Mysterious Mister Y ...although you can never know...)

Welcome aboard 'Y'.  Don't worry, your 'X' may be on this train. I don't know what's keeping her, she usually arrives before you. But the two of you together again, wouldn't that make for a letter-perfect trip?

My name is "M" and I'm a personal agent, hired by rich men and women. I specialize in satisfying desires and enriching a genuine passion.

Mission Statement: Give me more than congee.

:)

Q (40s), tall, dark complexion (could be Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Egyptian...could be from anywhere). Pinstripe suit that makes him look taller. Black agenda with a silver lock under one arm.

You'll never see my hand. You might not even know you're playing my game. I'll tell you what I want you to know, make you do what I want you to do even while you think it was your idea. You don't want to cross me, and you never, ever, want to be on my list. My reasons for being here are my own. My only interest in you is for amusement; a distraction from my travels, nothing more. And my interest in this conversation has run out. Good day.

Welcome aboard 'M' and 'Q', even though neither of you decided to reveal your entertainment profession...  Everyone likes a bit of Mystery and even some Questions but remember both of those things, in the form of curiosity, killed the cat -- and it was a cool cat too.  Dig daddy-o?

And a special note to 'M' who should sit down in the boat so as not to rock it... Oh wait, this isn't a boat so, I guess, don't derail the train... :-)  

Six passengers so far and we need a few more to get this train on the tracks.  You know you want to go to Hollywood - do it now.

hmmmm, I think I will give this a go, as a newbie, I hope I am not in too deep.

"C"

I am "C". A former, child movie star from the 60's who had a string of major hits starring alongside such luminaries as; Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne and Lassie before breaking into TV.
You remember Chuckie Saturn from "Space Racers"? well, that was me.
The years weren't so good to me once my voice broke, and the work, and friends, dried up (apart from bit-parts on Quincy and Magnum P.I. in the 80's and the "Space Racer" convention circuit which pays the bills).
I had a very public melt down after my wife left me and I'm a recovering(?) alcoholic.
At 62, I never really expected to be back in film but a call out of the blue from Woody Allen's casting director to read for his new movie got me on this here train.
Now... where is the bar car.

Okay, sure I'm in (though I'm sure I'll have questions about the rules at some point...) :p

P (30s), wannabe childstar mom. My daughter gets her gorgeous black hair from me and her olive skin and blue eyes from my ex (aka, the sperm donor). She's breathtaking, and I just know she'll be a star! She can do a bit of everything, so don't ask me to narrow down her talents. I'm going to Hollywood to set up a place for us to get ready to go after her dreams (even if that means hunting down those dreams and beating them into submission with a club!).

As for me, I dress like I'm 10 years younger than I am and talk like I belong (wherever that may be). I can fit in everywhere and everyone loves me, so I know we'll all get along just great.

T (40).

One a very successful and handsome actor, now degraded to B-Movie films. My ego hasn't been degraded though, I still think I'm God's gift to women, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I'm looking for my big comeback to Hollywood, since there's been a rise of interest in faded stars. People hate me, but they love to hate me, which is why they keep me around in their social circles.

X (20's)

I've Only been in a handful of "B" movies and bit parts on television shows, was a corpse on CSI once. I am also a creature of bad habbits, drugs, alcohol, women. I have been arrested a few times, mostly drug related and DUI's. I have a gift for manipulation and am a bit of a con artist. I will make it big one day, and noone will get in my way.

Welcome aboard 'C', 'P', 'T' and 'X'.  Quite a mouthful, that was.  I hope you all find the accommodations comfortable.



You'll all have to bunk up for this trip.  

I hope you find your roommates agreeable. But if not, perhaps you'll find an appropriate way to deal with them.

Since my Halloween short film (see below) is finished I will have time to join. Got to think up a character first. Will add one here later today.  :)

If Mistress Pia's in, then I'm in as well, damnit!

I'll put together a name and some character info ASAP - later today/tonight.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Since my Halloween short film (see below) is finished I will have time to join. Got to think up a character first. Will add one here later today.  :)

I'll have to see how my work load goes this week.
Is there a cut off date to join?

As to the video....Cheeky stuff! Love the payoff!
The end credit sequence is stellar! Love the music.

So, how many pumpkins did you have to carve to get all the expressions? ;D

E.D.

Quoted from Electric Dreamer So, how many pumpkins did you have to carve to get all the expressions? ;D

6 pumpkins. The evil one I had to make twice because the teeth were too skinny and broke off. Looked like a hillbilly pumpkin!  ;D

Cornetto...SEALs are not army.  ;)

I'm "D" a mid 40s camera woman. I love photography and film. I carry my cameras with me wherever I go. I almost always find interesting things to capture. I'm a bit scatterbrained and often miss the big things because my cameras and I are usually focused on small things that other people miss. I'm going to Hollywood in hope to work for Tim Burton.

I was thinking of not participating in this but dammnit. :)

B (20)

I consider myself a good writer yet every one calls my work shit. Why? Because my story doesn't make any sense. Ha! Hollywood produces alot of shit that doesn't make sense yet they get praised. Twilight, Deathproof, Hostel, The Dark Knight, all shit. If those stories are great, my work is great too. And I'll prove it by going to Hollywood and selling my story called Angelina and Winter. It's a drama and thriller about a time traveling lesbian who comes back to save Angelina from falling in love with a man who would soon be the destroyer of women.  

Gabe

Welcome aboard D and B, it looks like it will be a full house but not to worry there's room for both of you.  I think there's room for two more as well.  Hopefully things won't be too crowded -- we wouldn't want anyone to fall off... Or would we?

As soon as I hear from the 'Dream' duo, I'll give you all your first assignment.
  

The cast so far:


U          "I am a producer, I hide behind the scenes. I like to hide.  I hide so well, I could be standing next to you.  I may even be you.

ASSIGNMENT:  Review your character and let me know if there are any changes you would like to make.  

OK, here I am...

I'm known as "A", top of the food chain, head of the class, the one you need to know, and of course, the ass you need to kiss.  So pucker up, people.

I'm a 45 year old movie critic who's been slamming movies (actors, directors, writers, and any and everyone involved in the game) for the past 25 years.  You want to be in the "in crowd"?  You better hope your shit is up to snuff, as far as I'm concerned.  If it's not?  Well, let's just say the world is going to know my feelings, and I always tell it like I see it.

I just got through an absolutely miserable premier in NYC, and I'm hoping some of you lowlifes can impress me a tad more than the completely untalented  crapfest I just wasted the weekend over.

I just signed a multi million dollar deal with Dreamworks SKG as a new talent agent, and I'm looking for superior industry talent.  I learned long ago that you never know where you'll meet the next superstar, so here's hoping this train ride can provide something better than the fucking garbage I encounter on a daily basis.

I like the passengers n this train. They all sound quite good! Great work dudes/dudettes!!

Quoted from Grandma Bear I like the passengers n this train. They all sound quite good! Great work dudes/dudettes!!

Pia, I love the Halloween video! Love the pumpkin guts.  ;D Your daughter was great!  ;D

Sandra

Thanks Sandra!!  ;D

Looking forward to see what "M" will be up to.  :)

Hehe, love the pumpkin slayer!! :)

Welcome aboard 'A', and such an appropriate character. This gent is the one to watch out for...  He's the last reigning Master Killer and he's been Master Killer more than once.  He the one to beat... probably with a really big stick...  ;-)    

Folks calls me "E".

A silver tongued serpent of a producer in his 50s.
I left Hollywood under the auspice of a mysterious death.
It was on the set of one of my projects, "Death Row Divas".
A stunt gone wrong, a young ingenue standing where she shouldn't have been.
The details are cloaked  under the many veils of silver screen lore.

My rapier wit is only matched by my obsessive compulsive behavior.
Everything MUST be in its right place, or the "cameras" can't start rolling.
But now, it seems, Hollywood is ready to embrace me once again.
And I intend to reclaim my former glory, and none of you are going to get in my way.

;D

Nah...don't worry about little old me.  Keep me alive and I'll help yuor character go further in life...espeically the young ladyfolk.  I'm only here to help, nurture, and provide love and guidance.

Welcome aboard E, our late arrival.  Late as in last - not late as in...  Oh well, you know.

Here's the final cast list (though there may be one or two changes to descriptions).   I'm still missing one person's email address... so check your PMs if you haven't.   Otherwise, I'll get everything ready to go and I'll aim for having the first post up by Halloween.   Does anyone want to volunteer for the second turn?  You'll have to do some character introductions.    

U          I am a producer, I hide behind the scenes.   I like to hide. I hide so well, I could be standing next to you. I may even be you.   I have, at the very least, known you.

M          I'm a personal agent, hired by rich men and women. I specialize in satisfying desires and enriching a genuine passion.  I don't know my real age because I suffered some weird accident when I was a child that landed me in a strange house where a benevolent soul raised me as his own. Turns out he's in debt from a white addiction and I'm working to help pay him back for his kindness.  It's crazy, sometimes when I look in the mirror I look fifteen and other times I look thirty. If they I.D. me at the bar, I usually just smile and they let me in after all. Never did figure that one out.  Mission Statement: Give me more than congee.

I can do it Michael.

Here's the rules for this particular game.

THE RULES

The object of this game is to end up as the sole survivor.  

A killer is on the loose and no one knows who they are.  The killer wants to be the sole survivor too.  In order to survive the killer will want to kill every one who isn't a likely suspect.  The most likely suspect will face the killer in a vote by their peers - whoever is voted the killer will perish.   

There are two rounds and a final conclusion post by the winner of the peer vote.  

A player still continues to write even after their character is dead.  They just write about other characters. 

YOUR TURN

Each player has two turns, one each round – except the Master Killer, who will have three.

When it is your turn I will send an email stating that it is your turn.   I will also post that it is your turn in this discussion thread.  Refer to the discussion thread to get information you will need for your turn.   

You have 24 hours to acknowledge my email. If you do not acknowledge, either by an email back to me or a post in the game discussion thread, then your turn will be postponed or cancelled.  Depending on the circumstances you may also be dropped from the game and your character killed off.

You have 48 hrs to write your scene + or - a few hours.  It is recommended that you choose one of the other players to read your scene post before you post it.  

You post the scene you have written in the game thread.  

You have one kill to use during either of your two turns.  You may only kill characters if their associated author has taken a first turn.  You may be given other kills to make when I send your email, those kills will not count as your kill.  

Most importantly when you write a kill, the killer must not be seen. And you may frame another writer's character.  

Please tell me as soon as you can if you will not make your turn so we can keep the game moving.  This is a group activity so any delay you cause will affect the entire group – not just one person.

SCENE GUIDELINES

Keep it real.  Don't go off on fantasy tangents.  This takes place in the real world.   

There will be a number of incidental characters,  a few normal train personnel, like a conductor and steward.  Do not kill these characters unless requested in my email.

A scene can be no longer than one post in a thread.  If you use Word then this is somewhere around 7,850 characters including spaces and lines. 

All formatting will be left aligned (see game thread for example).  All locations slugs should be in bold. [ b ]slug[ / b ] - like that without the spaces.

You may have more than one location in your scene.  There are specific locations, see room chart for details.  You may only use these locations.

If you introduce another character please consider the bio given by the player. 

Make the reading interesting. Follow an earlier “storyline”.  A  scene can be just about anything that moves the “story” forward.   I’m putting story in quotes here because there really isn’t much of a story here, more than likely there will be many fragments of stories, after all this is a game.

Quoted from mcornetto It is recommended that you choose one of the other players to read your scene post before you post it.

Should we show the person who follows to give them a little head start. I did that last time, I think it was Tommy and it seemed to help alot, since one guy almost totaly fucked the whole thing up.

Well, Jordon, I can't think of a better person to "fuck up" with.  ;D Anyways...

I agree, I think people need to share more regarding the "page they're on".

Personally, I'm not interested in being the last "girl/guy standing". My interest lies in the creative development. Of course...

That's not a single person's vision but a collective energy that manifests as we work and play together.

I would like to see more of that vital energy in this one and less ASSHOLNISH!!! Capish?

Michael's working hard to give us a forum to work. It's the godamned least we can do.

This ones working a bit different from the last one.  But I think it's ok to let the writer know who's going after them.  It does give the next writer a head start.  So, ok. That works.

I'm running this a bit closer to the first Killer game so I'm certain people will be on a bunch of different pages.  And with this many people playing there's going to be a lot of different storylines going.  I think it's going to be important that the writers know they don't need to interact with every character.  They should find their storyline and go with it.  

SPECIAL EVENTS

I will be going first each round.  On my second turn I will resurrect one character from the first round and give that character a second chance.
