Detective I

[GermainZ]

Time to kick this off! Apply here. Once I receive enough applications (>10 min, >15 hopefully), game will start.


(for short and sweet version, scroll to the end)
Basics:

• There is a murder;
• Each participant has 2 characters: the murderer and the detective;
• The murderer gains EXP points if he escapes justice (the longer he does, the more EXP points he gets);
• The detective receives EXP points for helping in solving a case, or solving it;
• After a certain amount of EXP, you can choose to level up and gain new skills;
• The plot: [Players]/6 (rounded down) witnesses, [Players]/6 (rounded down) potential victims, one killer, the rest detectives;
• Witnesses and the first victim are not controlled by players. The second and third (potential) victims are;
• The killer may or may not strike again and kill a detective or a witness. He does so by PMing the game master.
• The killer may strike up to 2 additional times, and has a 70% then 50% success rate (At lvl0);
• If the killer succeeds, the witness/detective dies; the killer might leave some evidence behind, but not much (even at lvl0). If he fails his attempt, the victim who survived gains additional information about the murderer (mostly, a quick description);

• The game is round based (1 day rounds);
• For every round, the killer may perform one action; same for detectives;
• Detectives win the game by identifying the killer and providing supporting evidence.

Additional Info: Witnesses may change their statements, on their own, after the murder. While the information they provide is helpful, it might not be 100% precise.


Short 'n' Sweet version:

• Each participant can be (randomly) a murderer or a detective.
• Player controlled characters: murderer, detective, potential victims (they're detectives too)
• Murderer kills 1 non controlled victim. He then might kill up to 2 potential victims. He can fail.
• Detectives receive information by performing actions (one action per round; 1 round = ~48 hours).
• You gain EXP by catching the murderer or evading justice.
• New lvls unlock new stuff.

Important notice: After someone performs an action, I will post it here in public unless he specifies he wants a PM response. Be a team player or a lone detective, your choice.

No. The detectives will have to prove it. :|




Each one of you guys will also have a temporary description (e.g. Short brown hair, 5"4' long, male, etc...), that changes from round to round. You don't decide how you look, tho


Also, here's next game's scenario (it didn't start yet, but just so you can get an idea):

Important notice: Since I'm not going to release the detectives' identities (murderer and detective will all be considered participants), all actions will have to be PMed to me.

Murder Victim: Jennifer Stephens, 24.
Crime Scene: Her appartement.
Victim's family: Husband (Orville Stephens), one brother (David Latson).
Witnesses: Mailman (Steven Root), Cleaner (Mary Martin)


Murder Scenario: N/A.
Evidence: None to date.
Murder Suspects: None to date.


The parts in bold will have to be filled by the detectives. Remember, the murderer can perform detective actions, if he's one of you.
He can be one of the plot characters as well (relatives, witnesses, bystanders, etc...), so keep an open mind.
When performing an action (by PMing me), specify if you want it to be publicly released or PMed to you. You can be a team player, or not: your choice.
Searching a crime scene or interrogating witnesses does not mean no additional information can be gathered from them. You can either check what your collegues have done or perform the action again during the next round till you have enough leads.
