[OOC] Murderverse OOC

[Dookie]

On the note of town rarely mislimming, that's definitely at least in part due to a huge reluctance to eliminate without solid evidence. Which in turn is because most characters aren't pragmatic and/or bloodthirsty enough to eliminate every day for no reason but tactical advantage, most RPers for whatever reason aren't coming up with an IC reason to do so anyway, and no GM has figured out the in-universe part of the "all of a team wins together, including the dead ones" rule.

I should really work on that last one, but I keep running danganlikes that don't have that rule anyway :p

For BIA, if scum wins, Audley's Gonna bring the dead ones back to life, like Junko, so that last part's covered.

[Kennifer]

The rule I have seen in some Mafialikes especially where if no one kills in X amount of days then whichever side killed last wins (whether it was a murder for the scum or an elim for the town) wins, as an alternate endgame condition. I did like the rule in Castle of Beasts about needing to kill/elim every night/day (though I'm not sure the "not revealing roles of dead people" was as good). Mislims are frustrating as hell for town yes, but it's also trickier and more drawn out for scum to win without them. (And let's face it, it can be interesting to actually have a scumteam win in Mafialikes; it shouldn't always be "town wins on day 3 because they are hypercompetent and the scum team sucks". It makes it boring and stale (and I'd imagine frustrating for anyone who rolls scum because it seems inevitable the hypercompetent town is gonna get them anyway.)

Adding motives to Danganlikes like in the actual DR games would also help get things going.

I also like, in both types of games, some kind of twist to each day or night. IIRC Florien did this with at least the first YFF, where it'd be something like "the cameras are not working right now" or "the campfire is out so the night patrol won't see anything" or "you can't use these particular rooms for the next day and night phases" or whatever. It adds an extra thing for everyone, killers or not, to deal with.

The immunity challenge thing in BiA is also a fun twist since it's got to make scums think more carefully if the person they were going to go after wins immunity.

(I could swear I'd made a post with some of this but I think I forgot to actually send it, lol.)

[Cassie]

decided to make a list that compiles things i wanna do in murderfree

• God Complex Arc
  
• Whatever with Agoti, Henrik, and Moona
  

[Kennifer]

I'd like to introduce my OC Michelle in there before I yeet her into a murdergame; usually I wait til someone's debuted but I like Michelle. And since I've decided that she and Tonya know one another (due to Michelle wanting to do modeling and Tonya being a fashion designer) that'd give me a way to do it.

I also may bring Kim (my OC from Escape from Zombie Park Island) in at some point; if the go-kart arc happens she is someone who I'd think would find that to be a lot of fun.

As for the talent show arc I have two characters planned to enter: Alexis, who will be singing a showtune, and Amanda, who will be doing celebrity (hairstyle) impersonations. XD

[awe921]

Michelle Obama?

also funnily enough this is not the only rp i had that spiraled off into something way bigger

there was this one little rp called ancients which was based on a friend's dream of mine and it was cool i guess. and then people really... liked it! and there were lots of rps related to it. i think there was an ancients 3 and now it's some weird ass space opera thing and it's like. so cool.

[Kennifer]

Heh

her name's Michelle Mason actually because oooh alliteration

but she would probably find being compared with the former First Lady very flattering

[Zanreo]

Oh yeah I've been meaning to get more active in murderfree again recently and also would be ready for the go-kart arc soon if people are up for it

As mentioned in Discord, we need a character to act relentlessly antisocially so that Vivi can decide to GBJ them and learn it doesn't work anymore.

Has my trash fairy character done enough to warrant that? Since he's being a bit of a jerk, prioritising introductions over helping someone in need.

[wingedcatgirl]

It has to reach the point where the problem can't be allowed to go on, but talking about it isn't helping. Having bad priorities and being mildly jerkish isn't gonna do it.

We're talking, like, Hydroxyl-level bad. The usual suggestion is unrepentant scum, but even that won't push it if they're just unrepentant and aren't going to cause more trouble now.

e: Actually... @Florien, (and others but mostly Florien) what do you think about bringing Hydroxyl back for this?

If Florien doesn't want to do it, I can throw in a game-breaker.

[wingedcatgirl]

Thinking about it, I bet having multiple people being troublesome would push Vivi to the breaking point even faster.

[Cassie]

I'm wondering if Scott Kelly is a good canditate for this, considering the behaviour he exhibited in Toontown...

Yeah, sure, I can resurrect the teal terror of texas (in space).

[Dookie]

Hey, question (Specifically for Cutbug and Knife): Can we debut our "corrupted" characters in Murderfree, or would that disrupt the storyline?

[awe921]

a silly idea:
TM Awe, making his grandiose return in a fight scene thing.

ok so the whole thing is based off a moment in the 2009 sherlock movie, the one with robert downey jr. there's a moment where sherlock does the funny sherlock scan and predict the foes next moves, making a counter for each move the opponent launches while planning his own. also known for a particular word:

"Discombobulate."


i wanted to make something similar. i never got to show off TM Awe's weapon of choice (a double bladed scythe with another pair of blades underneath the main one), nor his full combat prowess. and i wanted to give an update on him too and his variety of time powers would let him analyze the fight even better.

it's gonna be bloody and awesome. maybe TM Awe spirited away some kind of holographic training room and faces off against nearly the entire murderverse cast so to retrain his fighting skill in case he ever needs to fight again, since he's basically being carried by his time powers during the time of agom 1/2.

[wingedcatgirl]

A nice idea in our imo :D

[Caret]

A cool idea indeed.

[wingedcatgirl]

Should probably get to work on transferring the contents of the Fandom wiki to the TCRP wiki... main obstacle there is that the infobox extension doesn't work and we don't know why. Should check back on that thread after work today.

[Caret]

Here's who's going to be in the talent show arc so far, for self-reference.

[Cassie]

@LavenderDream There's an open slot in Brothers in Arms 3 after a player dropped out due to participation issues. If you want to play in there, sign up in this thread.

Infobox extension fixed, y'all can get transferring.

Ping us if we need to add anything to the interwiki map; there aren't gonna be convenient built-in links to Fandom wikis anymore.

Unrelatedly, the other two Elakhas have been retconned, now. Gonna make it XIV-official in the next few days because restrictions on name changes, but they're now Vivi, Finch, and Sariel.

Should have them appear in Murder-free more...

Name: Moona Hoshinova
Gender: Female
Age: 20s
Species: Moon Goddess (formerly human)
Abilities: Great construction capabilities, Moon Goddess powers (mainly casting lunar energy, which ironically gets stronger in the daytime due to the energy being derived from sunlight)
Other: Moona possessed Hoshinova just before the latter fell into the sea during a full moon, and said possession is a symbiotic one (they're both fine with it). The possession caused them to ascend into Moon Goddesses, which is why Hoshinova didn't drown. Speaks in this color.
