So I Know What You're Thinking, It's Yet Another Murdergame
#1
So I know what you're thinking, it's yet another Murdergame. It's yet another game where you, a random person from a random place, go unconscious and wake up in a random place and can't (or don't think to) get out. It's yet another game where someone dies every night and everyone reacts in horror once before trampling on their body to see if the killer left their social security number near the crime scene. It's yet another game where someone dies, people investigate, people vote, someone dies, people investigate, and people vote. It's yet another game where if the scum messes up enough, everyone goes back home happy and laughing with some new friends along the way. It's yet another Murdergame that goes as all Murdergames go.

Only some of that is true.

So what is this?
This is Lucky 13, a new type of murdergame, based on luck, alliances, and popularity.

Your character is trapped inside of an IKEA, having no idea where they are, with only 12 others, and a group of shadowy figures. Everything is unknown and scary to your characters.



The Mechanics
There is no day, and there is no night. Instead, cycles are divided into two parts. To start, you are allowed to freely explore the map, make alliances, gather materials, and perhaps even kill (More on that later).

After that begins the “Rounds”. A game will be played that will end with the death of one or two of the people. After the game begins the free roam again. (List of all possible rounds will be posted sometime before the game starts).

Rounds include such things as voting out a person, luck-based guessing, and games in which you can directly target those you do not like/those who you think have murdered.

The cycle will repeat until there are two people left, to which a special Finale Round will be played. The loser of that will be killed, and the winner will be sent free - the only survivor of the 13.

Standard murdergame actions and rolling will appear here.



Attacking & Killing

During the free roam, as well as during a special event known as “Battle Royale”, you may attack another person.

To attack, you need a weapon (No, you're not killing someone with your fists, sorry), which you can find scattered around IKEA. Each weapon will have a strength rating from 1 - 10, this will be added to a d10 dice roll. You need at least 20 power to kill someone else.

After you make your attempt at striking, the other person will make an attempt to dodge your attack. They will roll a d20 for dodging, and if the d20 is more than your combined d10 and and strength rating, they will dodge your attack.

If they successfully dodge, they can make an attempt to run. They will roll another d20, and if the d20 is 10 or more, they will successfully escape. If it is more than 15, they will also catch a glimpse of your face.

If they do not escape, you may attempt striking them again, or you can leave if that's what you're like. Remember that you must hit them with at least 20 power to kill them.

But what if you don't want to run from danger like a little bitch? Then you can retaliate if you also have a weapon. If retaliation happens, both parties will be building up attack until either one runs or someone dies.

Also, if you set up a planned kill, such as a fire, explosion, or poison, it's an instakilll, with the challenge being to pull it off.

So why kill? For one, it gets the player count down. For two, if someone attempts to kill you, you will successfully escape the attempt (This only works for the first attempt to kill you). While you may very much become a target in voting and targeting based Rounds, that is only if you are suspected of doing the murder.



Roles
Fuck you there are no roles get stickbugged lol

Rules
1. Don't be a dick. No godmodding, puppeting, you know the drill.
2. Don't cheat, because cheating is for losers. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
3. Don't share DMs unless I give you permission.
4. Dead players, please don't talk in thread until the game ends.
5. You know who you can play as and who you can't, so don't try and sign up as Adobe Himmler or anyone like that.
6. DMing other players is encouraged. If you want to do so, just say so in your channel is the discord server and i'll hook you guys up. Alliances, betrayals, and rivalries are a major part of this game.
7. You can edit your posts in this game. I know, what a novelty.
8. Finally, have fun. Those seen not having fun will be executed at the stake.

Name: Vriska Serket

Appearance/Pic: [Image: latest.png]

Gender/Pronouns: Female, She/Her

Age: 6 Alternian Solar Sweeps (13 Earth years)

Abilities: Being a cerulean-blood, Vriska has psychic abilities in that she can mind control other trolls! But only certain ones. And some of them not all the time. Which is probably not relevant here. She can make people fall asleep though! Also as a THIEF OF LIGHT she can steal luck and make herself more lucky. Useful for getting a good roll on her FLUORITE OCTET... which she left back in her hive. Whoops. Either way she's pretty good at combat (you have to be to play FLARP, after all) and not very good at being a nice person.

Other: 13's a dum8 num8er. 8 is waaaaaaaay 8etter. (also obligatory HUGE 8ITCH 8LUH 8LUH).
Stupid doomed timeline...

Name: Nerva Reisgraf
Appearance: See Above.
Gender: Male, He/Him
Age: 32
Abilities: He's a career mercenary who's an advanced survivalist, capable of crafting weapons on the fly and performing all kinds of elaborate schemes and diversions to get the drop on his targets. He's physically strong and fairly fast... and also he brought a ceramic-plate vest, which is reasonably effective at stopping most injuries though does tend to stop being effective after a few hits, and wears a modified riot helmet and gas mask, and has night-vision goggles underneath all that. He relies heavily on equipment normally, but can fight reasonably competently without it.

Other:I'd like to see my family call me unimpressive after I've walked clear of this.

Little problem with this poll: not all emotes are also reactions. (Yes, it is a mess of a system.) Only two of the options you presented can actually be voted for.

... though presumably if people wanted to vote for those days they'd have mentioned it when they realized they couldn't.
