[Murder Mansion] An Experimental Phalla-esque Game Over (NoizRnel Victory!)

mi-go hunter · January 2014

Welcome to Murder Mansion! This game is similar to mafia, with the exception that anyone can become a killer.

Objective: A group of ordinary people who have lived ordinary lives are thrown into a twisted game and are all given weapons and the orders to kill each other one by one. Trapped in an abandoned mansion with each room monitored by hidden security cameras, only one person can escape or all are doomed to be trapped forever. Be the sole survivor, using your wits and deduction, to live through the ensuing bloodbath.

Rules:
20 players will be divided into five different categories of weapons and listed in the OP. Each start with a Killing Meter of 1 and Judgment Meter of 1.

Blunt
Firearm
Poison
Blade
Explosive

Players are then given 24 hours to decide whether they want to murder or keep their hands clean.

If a player chooses to murder, he PMs me with a target he wants to eliminate as well as a second weapon type other than the one he possesses.

If multiple players send PMs, RNG will select one person to be successful enough to kill someone. The other wannabe murderers either decide against committing the crime or fail in their attempt.

The murderer steals the points from the victim's Judgment and Killing meter. The higher your Killing meter, the higher your chances are of murdering someone.

Example: Player 1 murders Player 2, which had a Killing meter of 2 and a Judgment meter of 1. 2 points are added to Player 1's Killing meter, and 1 point is added to his Judgment meter.

Example: If your Killing Meter is 3, you are given three numbers in the RNG when I roll for the murderer.

The next 24 hours after the murder is carried out, all the players meet in the dining hall to vote on who they think is the murderer. EVERYONE MUST VOTE IN RED. The only information they are given, in no particular order, is the weapon used in the murder, as well as an additional weapon type chosen by the murderer.

Example: _____________ suffered a heavy blow to the head (blunt), but also had visible burn marks. (explosive) [However in this example the murderer used an explosive weapon and added the blunt weapon to the PM.]

The player who receives the most votes in the 24 hours is accused of being the murderer. In the case of a tie, the player that caused the tie is killed and the meeting is over with no one receiving any points.

If the players guessed the murderer correctly, the murderer is killed and eliminated. The accusers earn 1 point in their Judgment meter.

If the players guessed wrongly, the accused player selects one of the accusers to kill.

The days will alternate between murder and dining hall meeting for 18 days until inevitably two players are left. In the Final Showdown, the player with the higher sum of Killing + Judgment Meter will win the game.

Example: Player 1 has a Killing Meter of 1 and a Judgment Meter of 6. Player 2 has a Killing Meter of 5 and a Judgment Meter of 1. Player 1 wins the game and Player 2 is killed.

The sole survivor is released from the mansion.

PMs:

Murder Success – You kill __________! You now have blood on your hands. You gain ___ points to the Killing Meter and ___ points to the Judgment Meter.

Murder Failure – You couldn’t bring yourself to take an innocent life. You fail your murder attempt.

Killing Meter – You got away with murder. Your Killing Meter increases to ___. Can you bring yourself to kill again?

Judgment Meter – Congratulations! Your Judgment Meter increases to ___.

IN THE RARE EVENT THAT NO ONE DECIDES TO MURDER, TWO PLAYERS ARE RANDOMLY SELECTED AND KILLED.

Clarifications:

You are allowed to PM, just as you would in phalla.
"Accusers" are anyone in the voting majority.
Don't kill yourself.
During days with dining hall meetings, no murdering occurs at night.
The player who casts the tying vote in a meeting is killed. Likewise, the person who retracts a vote to cause a tie is killed.
A player, wrongly accused, does not die.

Days will end at 1:00 PM PST.

Thanks to Obifett for helping me tweak a few elements of the game!

I was just trying to figure out to make a Clue (movie) Phalla work and this sounds similar.

I'll sign up.

Phyphor · January 2014

Joyous statement: SERIAL KILLER NOT-A-PHALLA. Also my temporary avatar change may be extended

NoizRnel · January 2014

I will sign up!

Mikey CTS · January 2014

It seems like every second day is going to be pretty quiet as everyone considers who to off next.

Nothing but palpable tension in the air. Or trash talk.

Unfortunate.
This gives me less reason to switch to my terrible terrible anti-Phyphor's-avatar avatar.

I could actually see this voting system going hilariously wrong in the early stages.

Narration: Last night x was involved in a heavy firefight before eventually being launched out a second story balcony window by an almighty explosion.
Mr Playin it Safe: IT WAS HAMMER!

Of course, it may not, but either way still fun.

Query: Sister Miriam Godwinson?

discrider · January 2014

Heh. Wish you that it was.

mi-go hunter · January 2014

bump bump bump

mi-go hunter · January 2014

one more bump.

discrider · January 2014

I get the feeling that everyone's been in too much of a lamb coma to post stuff today

mi-go hunter · January 2014

Eeeeeeh.

discrider · January 2014

It's unfortunate that the best image I could find makes my post look like a spam post.
And that's dog food instead of real food, so I guess the dogs aren't posting either.

Assuran · January 2014

You rang?

Might help if you linked it in the Phalla sign up thread even though it is not actually a Phalla. I tend to believe most of my TAR signups came through there and not through the PbP thread.

Gotcha, I'll do that.

Iron Weasel · January 2014

mi-go is good people. I'll sign up.

KetBra · January 2014

yeah sure I'll sign up

ObiFett · January 2014

yay! Ketbra!

I'm bored. I'll Play.

I am completely innocent

Matev · January 2014

Well, I'm not going to wait for mi-go hunter to unmask me. I work for the State Department, and I'm a bisexual. I feel no shame or guilt about this, but I must keep it a secret, or I will lose my job on security grounds.

Thank you.

Who would willingly sign up for such an abominable game?

I would. Me.

vertroue · January 2014

So I hear there is red rum to be had. I suppose that it is time to come back and kill you all.

SLyM · January 2014

Hrm. I might do this. On the other hand (possibly) an entire month is a long time to devote to a phallish kind of thing. I dunno yet.

The Anonymous · January 2014

So who wants to talk about MURDERS?

If you're lucky, you could die the first day.

Or you could deliberately be obnoxious just to get killed.
Skill > Luck

Really though, despite the game length, it should not be as time consuming as a standard phalla since the rules are so simple. Plus every other day is murder day in which not much happens in thread.
