    Wait, votings required? Because all I've done is sent my action via PM.

    Action pm's are all that's required. However, voting tells me who I blow up each night. Anyone involved in a tie will be killed by collar detonation, so if nobody votes, everyone dies for example.

    Voting is not a requirement.

    Ok, got everything I need. I've got a few things to get done at the office here before I can do the narration and such. I'll try to get something up in 30 minutes or so.

    DA, my question to you is this. Why should I, or anyone else for that matter, reveal the information we have? For example, I happen to know where everyone else is at the moment. I don't need anyone making some big reveal. I'd rather to keep the info to myself and then release it if it becomes necessary/advantageous to do so.

    Because you'd need to swing the vote against the lone wolf and if the info you have is all private I've got no fucking reason to believe you when you say "X is the Lone Wolf, I have proof!" If all the info is public the logic could be publically displayed and verified and the LW would die by massive vote.

    More over I don't see any special advantage to being the only one to know who the LW is. We all want him dead. If anybody can point out an advantage to knowing where somebody is last round by all means point it out. I'm more than willing to be proved wrong on this point.

    Nah, it's a flashbang. Probably screws up actions in the Zone where it's used.

    In the movie, B:L's avatar tries to trick Inquistor's avatar by playing dead after getting shot in the chest (B:L's avatar was wearing a bulletproof vest). Inquistor sticks around to make sure B:L is dead, and decapitates him when he tries to flee. Inquistor then stuffs a live grenade in B:L's head and throws it at a couple students taking refuge in a run-down clinic.

    Which is totally relevant to the matter at hand.

    Good morning students. I'm glad to see that some of you have finally taken things into your own hands so that I wouldn't have to do this all on my own. It's not fun that way. Here's the report of the dead from yesterday.

    Senor Fish- shot to death and axed
    Kilnaga - shot to death

    A funny thing occured, when I depressed Tofu's collar, he didn't die. That's funny, I thought I had all the collars maintenanced. No worries, I'll just pick second place instead.

    DarkPrimus - death by collar detonation

    I must commend one of the students in Zone 3 tonight, that was a very impressive barrage of gunfire. Can you keep this up for the whole game?

    There's somenoe who's got some brains out there as well as I heard a lot of firecrackers go off in zone 5.

    Oh, zone 2 is closing down tonight. Also, good day students. I hope you won't let me down today.



    Voting ends tomorrow night at 10 pm CDT. As with every other day, if all actions come in earlier, I'll write the next narration sooner and we can try to squeeze another day's worth of gameplay in prior to the Wed night cutoff.

    EDIT: I'm a retard. Tormented soul is still alive.

    What?!

    Firstly, way higher body count that I thought.

    Secondly, Tofu's got a magic collar or something? Or maybe he's the LW and the LW collar is immune to detonation or something. Either way, wtf mate. Makes me almost want to vote for him again, can't cheat death twice. But, I think I'll wait for some more information to trickle in.

    The fact that you don't know says a lot. And it looks like someone tried to take me out in Zone 5. So much for the one night truce.

    At this point it seriously looks like you're stonewalling the plan to find the Lone Wolf, can you give me some reason why the plan is a bad one? I'm not trying to win so much as finding ways in which this quickly ceases to be a game since Ardor want's us to test this. I suppose "Bloody minded people" is one way that the Lone Wolf could be saved from this plan though.

    I'm somewhat surprised the bodycount was that low, but that's what I pegged it at. I wonder if everyone in zone 3 got killed or if there were more.

    I !vote for DevoutlyApathetic for tonight. I think that the way he's been acting this thread means he's probably the lone wolf. He's pretty focused on killing the LW like he's the only threat in the game, instead of just focusing on keeping himself and his team alive like I'm sure most of you are. The only people that gain from a situation like that are those that care only about themselves.

    Did anyone from Zone 3 survive? What went on there, and did anyone see who did it?

    Here's the thing skippy, I'm not doing stuff in the main thread to keep me and my team alive in the main thread because only two people here are sympathetic to that. My PM-ing and actions have been strongly geared towards the safety of me and mine.

    The only thing I can see the group collaborating on is finding the damn Lone Wolf. Other than that we're just going to be hunting people who have already lost a team mate and can be taken down with the vote.

    I'm really, really not seeing how my plan is an aid to the Lone Wolf. If it is,

    Feel free to talk about how that'd work.

    We're testing this so we need to provide feedback to Ardor. We won't be doing much of that if we all sit huddled trying to not die in a game that will have no winner.

    My flashbang activates when I'm attacked. My flashbang activated. Hence, I was attacked. DA has given me reason to believe it was not him doing the attacking. So it had to be one of you.

    If the LW decides you're the biggest threat at the moment and kills you, your team becomes even more endangered and less likely to win. As it is, you should be shying away from the public so that you'll be less likely to be targeted, but as it is you're stealing the spotlight.

    Yea, he'd have to find me and their are some difficulties involved with that. Regardless killing the Lone Wolf (Who absolutely none of us can take in a 1 on 1 fight) is a higher priority for the good of my team (and should be for all teams) right now.

    Honestly at this point everybody is going to get themselves LW'ed. None of us can take him in a 1 on 1 fight and since we don't know who the fuck he is he's likely to get a first strike on any given team. So the likely outcome of 3 man team versus lone wolf is 1 survivor if they're all around and he doesn't have something like an Uzi...

    Also, to the dead. Feel free to further contribute to the thread, but do not share any game knowledge you know. Chances are, someone out there already knows. I sent you all a pm listing what you saw go down in your final moments for your curiosity.

    I'll be back later tonight, I need to go work out and get home.

    EDIT: Also, for those curious, the firecrackers in zone 5 prevented all actions from taking place, which means you do not lose uses of your items etc.

    I'm really liking the concept you've got going here Ardor. A nice mix of complexity and general bloodbathiness.

    However, it seems like a lot of work for the GM. You wouldn't want to make this game too large, unless you had a second person helping you out with the PMs etc.

    Honestly this game just screams for some kind of external web form where each player could toss in their actions and it'd get entered into a database. Of course, that'd require a large amount of specialized knowledge to make happen.
