Interest Check

PREMISE

A harsh jostle awakens you from your dreamless sleep. A sudden jolt causes your body to lunge forward, and as you open your eyes you realize the outside world is... moving? It’s hard to say, really, but between the way your surroundings sway and the fact you seem to have found yourself in the interior of a bus — it's a likely conclusion. The windows are tinted and impossible to see through, and the only exit is locked. The lights above are dim, and regardless of whether you're lucky enough to wake up on a seat or unlucky enough to regain consciousness on the floor, you will get uncomfortable after too long. Perhaps now would be a good time to take a look around?

After all, you’ll be here for a while…

Welcome to our interest check for [community profile] notagain an upcoming murdergame set to open June 5th. This will be a murder mystery game intended to accommodate no more than 40 players.

Not Again is a game where all of the characters involved have been in a murdergame before. While some may be at risk of losing everything they've earned, others may find this to be the opportunity they've been waiting for to overturn a tragic outcome. Regardless of their previous ending, they’ll have to work to win yet another game to secure their happily ever after and finally make their way home.

HIGHLIGHTS

With that introduction to pique your curiosity, here are some highlights to keep in mind:

❖ Characters will appear in-game immediately after their end-game log. They will not return to their canon home/their new location between their original murder game and this one.

❖ With that said, characters cannot change their canonpoints! They will be from the canonpoint which you apped them originally.

❖ Tentatively there is not a current age limit being enforced for applications. This, of course, will be re-addressed on a case-by-case basis to make sure that, considering the nature of the game, player comfort isn't sacrificed in the spirit of creative freedom. Likewise, characters of any origin, shape, or form may be applied to this game, so long as there's a way that they can be killed. If you're unsure of what you may have in mind, feel free to ask!

Powers will be nerfed upon a character's arrival. While your character may have had powers available to them in their original game, they will not have them upon arrival.

❖ Character cast caps are set at five per canon.

❖ Being a murdergame, there will be situations that arise in which your character may be asked to kill, or in which your character may be killed! We will also have murder proposals open, so you can rain death on others even if you aren't asked to. In some cases, bribes or blackmail may be directed to the characters at various opportunities to motivate them into spilling blood.

❖ With that in mind, while it's easier to have a character that would be a little bloodthirsty and ready to kill, this is not entirely necessary! Characters should have some negative qualities to draw from, but others are fine as long as you can come up with a reason for them to kill. All that we ask is that your character has at least one or two things that could sway them into killing should the need arise.

THE DEETS

Still interested? Check out the Game Info post for a more detailed rundown of the game and read on for our terms to reserving your spot on May 21st.

This game will run on an invite-only basis with a limited +1 system in place. If you received an invite from Kyuu, Teej or Ty, you're golden. If any slots are still available after our initial selection, we will allow players to hit us up with suggestions for anyone they may wish to invite. If any slots still remain after this point in time, invitations will be extended to allow for additional +1s. Please keep in mind that even +1s should be extended to players who have played in murdergames before due to mechanics in the game itself.
