Be Excellent To Each Other

Post away!

That is bloody hard to read.

Also: Thomas getting low on mr counter.

Heh. Because of the player names?

A combination of
-the style (I know it's what you'd use on an iphone and the like, but on a full sized screen, it's not so good)
-The lack of avatars to give any kind of easy reference
-The requirement for short posts.

Well I was aiming for disorientation and confusion, so that worked fine. Admittedly I was considering a player limit of about 10, but forgot to tell Grim... that, and before I realised he had 20+ signups! Ne'er mind.

Whoops.

You didn't know This does mean I need to write, in theory, 23 death scenes.

"You all watch on in terror as a strange man in a white coat eneters Bennys cell and porks him to death with 20 sausages."

22.

Thanks Dave!

And surely not everyone has to die?

hence I said "in theory". I do need a few in the can though.

Obviously, I expect you to run it through a spell checker first.

Thinking on, if I could have a do-over, I'd give each player a unique initial and an autogenerated avatar of their initial against a distinct colour backdrop. Live and learn. We'll just have to quickly off some players to reduce the headcount, eh?

From an outsiders respective, it's just a bit too much effort. It might be different if I was playing.

Oh...

"You all watch on in horror as Dimrill enters Matts cage and bums him."

22.

"Matt then commits suicide"

21.

Yeah, you might well be right, Dave. It might be too much work inside the game too but I'm aiming for people to enjoy the ride more than play the game absoutely to be won, if that makes sense.

As we said at the start: this is all alpha grade.

Still, it's going far, far better than I thought it might.

I bet Liz is myp, as he's also a big tit.

(Caution: Prediction based on humour)

Oooh! It's good, but it's not right!

I note Thomas is in the red on the counter.

If I were him, I'd be feeling a little worried that running out of texts didn't only mean that he could post no more.

"Simon Cowell appears and inserts a couple of twatty teenagers into Vickys box. Death is fairly swift"

20.

I very nearly decided to arbitrarily kill Liz when she voted for the Admin account. Just to shake things up.

"Suddenly, upon voting, Liz is beset by a bear, a pig and an angry midget. When they're done all that remains is a huge pile of silicone"

*narrows eyes*

I imagine that Thomas and Liz are currently less than impressed with being unable to say anything. Or vote. (Only 21 possible votes)

I hope they read through their early posts and feel silly, then

"While the spotlights shine on him, a goat is inserted into Lukes compartment. Luke however, seems to have a thing for goats and has his wicked way with it, to the disgust of onlookers. A particulary vigourous thrust triggers a bomb within the goat, and the cage is covered in little bits of perverted goat rapist and goat."

19.

That Luke. What a pervert.

Gaywood, who is doing this death, has (I shit you not) had to delay it to make his colleague a cup of tea.

Gaywood = whipped.

Like a bee-atch.

I needed tea! And gossip.

Gossip?

Pah, real men don't gossip.

Would it be possible to have red text or something similar to signify descriptions and similar OOC stuff.

It would flow a little better.

I know, but I'm not sure if the theme supports any BBCode. Grim...?

This workplace is a hotbed of intrigue.

Dicks.

Nope.

Note that Grim... and I have deliberately chosen not to lock the thread. It'll be interesting to see if it gets any posts.

We should have had that Narrator character.

I can't think how that'd work unless we used two forum accounts.

Aye, and it's too late now, really.
I'm not re-hacking all of the names again

I admit I wasn't exactly playing to win there, but wow.

Wow what?

So, is anyone going to figure out that they can still send messages?

It's mafiascum on crack. Nobody even accused me or tried to work out if anyone was manipulating things, just piled on in.

Nobody blinked at the the direct relationship between most posts and most votes.

Very few showed that they had the first clue of how it was (fairly obviously) going to work out.

Nobody backed off at all when me and liz ran out of texts. Total lord of the rings shit!


Excellent set-up though, must have taken a bit of work - nice one.

I have to say, I had my doubts about if this concept would fly when Grim... and I cooked it up. But I am overjoyed at how it's gone so far. Lots of people are really getting into the spirit of things.

Aye, some people are really going for it, I like Vicky and Caroline especially.

Are the helpers the only "group" then, I was thinking we had helpers (who don't kill at night) and one or more serial killers or something.

I'm not going to give too much away yet. There are power roles. But they are all mixed up, compared to what you'd expect from MafiaScum.

Fair enough It'd be nice to have a few clues at some point though..

Hahahaha you mongoid

Clue: Whatever you do, don't get dropped into a giant blender.
