Yes, Henry was the killer for the entire first round.   Now, it's mayhem.  I'm not picking a killer this round, it's every man or woman for themselves.  

And by alone, I mean the only character in a dome section.

The way I approached my turn was to 1) figure out if I could do something different, 2) kill off a character of a player who still had 2 living, and of course 3) figure out a clever way to introduce my character as well as exploit my first character. Hence, I blew up part of the base, connected this idea to the guy standing outside, and connected this to Lester already going outside as well as having Lester be the guard of my new character. Then I just used the new artifact plot as filler while avoiding mentioning most of the characters Michael said not to kill.

Interesting twist, Michael. I like it. Let the mayhem ensue.

Just a little update for those waiting on me.

I've got the basic idea for mine, though I'm not sure how much further it progresses the plot. Except for a small bit at the beginning there's basically only two characters. But it falls within the new rules, so hopefully it'll turn out okay.

Should be up some time tomorrow morning (my time).


I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

Maybe if you would hurry up and finish it wouldn't be taking this long!

I don't have time for your filthy nonsense, as sensual and alluring as it may be!

I've basically done my scene, just waiting for Flyboy up there to give it a once over, make sure everything is ship shape. Will let it marinate overnight, see what the harsh light of day does for it. Then I'll post.

Thanks for waiting, guys.

What the fudge?

Things have gone a bit crazy, Michael and I'm struggling to keep up with who's dead, alive and seemingly dead but actually alive.  Thank God for your tracker sheet.  Oh and Lester has bought it already, darn it!

Which is why Marty told him only to engage the killer if he has not killed yet. He predicted that if Lester tried to engage after the killer took out Dash (which he felt was obvious) then the killer would be on an adrenaline high from the murder and Lester wouldn't stand a chance. Oh well. He was a good bodyguard. Kept Marty under wraps the whole first half of the story. Marty always found him a bit impulsive though.

Good work, Matt.  Everything is updated and George is up.

However, I did say the character you kill needed to be alone in a dome at the start of the turn and Adam wasn't.     I'll let it stand (Much to De Sean Quinn's relief) and use it as a chance to reinforce the instructions.  


Kill a character alone in a dome at the start of your turn.   You can look at the map to see this - but just in case it's not obvious I will be including who you can kill in future emails.

The reason this is done is because the player who goes before you can restrict the possible victims by leaving them alone in rooms.    And please note:  The rooms characters are in at the start of your turn are the last known rooms.   This means the last room they were in that had a slug.  Saying a character is going to another room does not put that character in the other room.  

Also the killer does not have to be an unknown figure.   Any character can kill or accidents can happen.  You are not restricted to having an unknown killer any longer.

I read this first, before Matt's entry, and thought to myself, "Please, god, tell me Matt didn't kill him."

That was an interesting entry, though. It seems as though Jenna and Valentina have a, um... history as well as Jenna and Adam. Kind of cool that with her resurrection, she's actually being utilized instead of just being killed off again. Good stuff.

I did have a problem with the unknown figure as well, though. Even if you didn't want to say who it was, you can kind of tell if it's a man or woman. That would add another layer of mystery as giving an idea without actually spelling it out.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

Michael, sorry about the mix-up. I must've read the e-mail wrong. I thought the dead character just had to be alone. My bad.

Blondie, that ending was actually Jordan's idea. I originally just had Jenna shoot Adam in the head and that was the end. It was Jordan's suggestion that an unknown person shows up behind him and blows him away before Jenna gets a chance to. I actually like it better this way.

I'd also like to apologise to George for making him go again so soon after his first turn. I just really wanted to kill Adam.

I was a little thrown off when I got the email. I had looked this morning and figured I wouldn't be up since both of my characters were hanging out together. Oh well. I do like his ending, but he would never have made a comparison to a "prom queen's virgin cunny." He was my Bond contribution, and Bond was never so crass.

That's not Mr. Bond's style. Him and his white jacket and black pants. Bleh. Although, I can slightly imagine Timothy Dalton saying something similar in his heydey... =)
