None of you wanted to be stuck in a run down motel in the middle of nowhere, but out in the desert,when the storms start up, so do the flash floods. The interstate is blocked by standing water in both directions, and there's no sign that the rain will let up tonight. As if that wasn't bad enough, the electricity has spent more time off than on since night fell, and the storm is interfering with your cell phone reception. There's no way in or out,k and no way to contact the outside world.

That was the situation an hour ago, when you all rushed outside from your rooms to see what the screech and bang had been about, only to discover an overturned police transport vehicle, a downed telephone pole, two dead cops, and an empty prisoner transport compartment. The cops appear to have been strangled, as if with a length of piano wire, and each has been stripped of his clothes. You managed to scavenge a single gun from the carnage, and retreated to the lobby of the motel's office, thinking that safety may lie in numbers.

That was the situation fifteen minutes ago, when one of your number left to use the restroom, soon calling the rest of you with a scream. There's a body in the restroom entryway, a woman, strangled just like the cops outside. Panicking, every rushes back to the lobby in confusion. What are you going to do? How are you going to stay alive until help comes? Finally one of your number speaks up.

"Alright you want a plan? Everybody want a plan? Here's the plan, okay? No one's gonna move. We're gonna stay here, like this, in this room until dawn. No one leaves, no one moves. And if anyone tries anything, if he tries anything, we're gonna shoot him. And if there's something out there and it comes in here, we're gonna shoot it. And if anyone of us even looks suspicious, we're gonna shoot 'em."

You'll need to vote for a "mayor", who will simply be the person who picks up the gun, and at the end of each day phase, shoots the person who looks most suspicious (i.e. the person with the most votes). This person's only function as far as game mechanics go is to break tie votes.

Days will be approximately 48 IRL hours long, starting between 8 and 9 AM EST, and ending at 6 PM EST the following day. Each night phase in the game will be an interruption in the motel's electricity, giving the scum the cover of darkness and the opportunity to strike.

This is a no-PM game, except among scum at "night".

Player list:

1. Crumb
2. beyelzu
3. The Tick
4. wei yau
5. dalt54321
6. slimshady2357
7. MonCapitan2002
8. Skydin
9. Sun Tzu
10. mickthinks

Have fun!

PMs are going out as soon as I post this. I have an appointment that will keep me AFK most of today. I'll check in tonight. Good luck!

ETA: PM's have been sent! Here's the one townies got:

You are a simple guest at the motel. You have no special powers.

Your win condtion is town: eliminate all scum.

I can see the three people who got the same PM I did.

So, now we wait for a re-deal?

MonCapitan2002

That would be a problem. I guess we do.

Crumb

Adam hasn't showed up since I PMed him. But since I know what PM you received, I think he should. :)

He may have to do more than just re-deal. He may have to work on the actual structure of the game, otherwise some people might have an unfair advantage.

Ah... good point. So - you are the serial killer then eh? :D

I also PMed Adam...

Pending further action, vote me, myself and i for mayor

Interesting theory, bey.

But, I dunno, Crumb's a good player and pretty well-seasoned. I don't think he'd raise an alarm mistakenly.

Of course, this would imply that Adam fucked-up as GM. Which is not entirely implausible


....



because PM mistakes are pretty easy to make.

You are going to wish you had sucked more godly cock when I am enjoying my 72 virgins my friend.

wei yau
08-05-2008, 08:57 PM
Listen, I know Adam. And there's no way that lecherous bastard would keep his paws off of one virgin, let alone 72 of them.

Used goods, bey. Used goods.

Crumb
08-05-2008, 09:05 PM
I considered that possibility, but I would have expected the Pm to explicitly state that that was the case. Instead I got the vanilla townie message quoted in the OP, but it was sent to me and three others. That's not right.

It is possible he did it to add to the mystery.

Adam was supposed to check back in last night (the PM), I think he's too embarassed.

Suck to God, I don't think so FTW

Adam
08-06-2008, 02:36 PM
Oh Jesus H. This is what I get for sending out role PMs before I'm fully awake. Sorry, I missed all day yesterday. My appointment lasted much longer than expected. Thank you 4th Superior Court. I'll redeal shortly.

On the plus side, the fact that the "game" thread is mostly jokes at my expense is classic. :tmgrin:

Is just redealing OK? Won't there be some people who know more than they should? For instance, see The Tick's post to me earlier in the thread (not the one where he calls me a bastard!)

:popcorn:

Perhaps have open setup? Or change couple of roles (get rid of one, add some different or something)? Have semi-open roles?

Or.... just simply let some people have the upper hand in knowing more?

Crumb
08-06-2008, 04:05 PM

Shortly? :chin:

The Tick
08-07-2008, 01:38 PM

lol.

Adam messed up :bow: - he sent us a PM that revealed 4-5 guys that have no-special roles.

Now we gotta reboot. And wait adam to redeal. :innocent:

slimshady2357
08-07-2008, 01:59 PM
I think that "wtf?" was due to the waiting.... Adam said 'shortly' but this doesn't feel like 'shortly' to me :offended:

No doubt, but no worries I will be passing my role whatever it is to my first born son.
