Default Destroy All Monsters! Game Thread


READ OR DIE

HOW TO PLAY:

- All of you will be PM’d a role and your alignment. The objective is to complete your goals and escape Manhattan alive.

- Each player has been given a role with their own objectives and abilities. Your PM will explain what it does, if you are meant to know. You don’t have to reveal what your role is to the other players, nor will I do so in my updates. Then again there is nothing to stop most of you, so if you feel that it may help, go ahead – just keep in mind that this could also backfire. In other words, claim at your own risk. Likewise, you may lie about who you are if you wish. If you want to use your abilities, PM me. DO NOT post it in the thread.

- This game was designed to take place during one long night in which Manhattan is under siege. Therefore the game phases are not your standard Day and Night. Instead, the phases are split up by the first 45 minutes of an hour and the last 15 minutes of the hour. The game begins during the period 7:00 and 7:45 PM game time, at this time players may post in the thread and should PM the mods to indicate what area of the game map they are moving too, as well as use any abilities they may have. The following phase takes place between 7:45 and 8:00 PM. At this time players may choose to designate another player for sacrifice. Players chosen for sacrifice will be bound to a chosen area of the game map where they will be vulnerable to attack. The first 45 minutes of a game time hour will last 24 real time hours but may end earlier if all night activities are concluded. The last 15 minutes of a game time hour will last 48 hours or until a consensus is reached.


- All voting and discussion is to occur within the thread. You are allowed to nominate another player to sacrifice. Players chosen to be sacrificed will be determined by majority vote, likewise their location on the map will be determined by which area contains the most votes. To vote, post Vote: Username and Location: Map Location (MUST BE IN BOLD!). You can also change your vote, by typing Change Vote: Username and Change Location: Map Location (AGAIN BOLDED!). You can also change your vote to nobody by typing Change Vote: No Vote (IN BOLD!). You can also choose to vote for No Sacrifice by using Vote: No Sacrifice (yeah... BOLDED!), meaning you actively vote to not sacrifice anyone during that phase rather than passively not voting at all. You must post in the thread for your vote to be counted. You do not have to vote if you do not wish to. Non Bolded Votes Will Not be Counted.

- Remember, some roles are more valuable than others – so try to keep them alive!

RULES:

- I know it’s the Mafia Forum, but try not to postwhore in the thread anyway. Feel free to trash talk, accuse, call out other players if you want, but if you’re going to vote, at least state some kind of reason as to why you’re doing so.

- Though I can’t force you to post, I’d love to see active participation. I would advise everyone try to check in with this game at least once a day. Things move fast and you can fall behind pretty easily.

- Once you are dead, you stay dead, and may not participate until the game is over. This includes notes found on your corpse, cryptic messages from the dead, etc, etc. You may also not advise the remaining players on what to do – besides, to prevent cheating, I will not provide the dead with any additional information than they would get if they were still alive. Of course, I’m willing to listen to your theories as to what’s going on. Likewise, I'd appreciate if those not taking part try not help those playing, though general comments on how things are going would be welcomed in the Sign Up Thread. This goes for those lucky enough to have escaped the city as well.


- Unless your role PM specifically states otherwise, all players may not discuss game plan, your role, or alignment outside the thread. Of course, I can’t enforce this, but I believe secretly revealing information amongst each other would spoil the game, so try not to do it.

- Players are not allowed to edit their posts in this thread at all, as it allows for those who make mistakes to remove all of the evidence without any effort. Since I can't enforce this, I strongly encourage all players to scrutinize any posts they notice that have been edited.

-Players are not allowed to cut and paste anything straight from the Role PM except the Role title. No cutting and pasting from the body of the PM. You can paraphrase what your Role PM says but that is all.

-Please play your role/alignment and play to win. We will be strict about this, so please don't make us enforce it.

-Talking about your role after death or to those who have died IS NOT allowed.

-Not everything is as it seems. If something unexpected happens, feel free to question it to me in private, and if I can, I'll answer.

We reserve the right to mod kill if we find out that any of these rules have been broken. Please remember that you are not the only one playing this game, so don't ruin it for everyone else!

The mods for this game are Imarevenant and I Effin Rule. All PMs regarding abilities, questions or anything else should be sent to Imarevenant and I Effin Rule. If you fail to communicate your information then I will go on what I have. You have be warned!


Any and all forms of role betting is discouraged. Attempting to do this will result in your being Mod Killed.

Let us all keep in mind that this is a game and should be an enjoyable experience.



Please Read. Important.


Game map:


What you see in this map is 16 areas.
1. Central Park
2. Upper West Side
3. Upper East Side
4. Theater District
5. Midtown West
6. Midtown East
7. Chelsea
8. Gramercy
9. Greenwich Village
20. East Village
11. SoHo
12. Little Italy
13. Lower East Side
14. Tribeca
15. China Town
16. Lower Manhattan

Note: If you have any questions about player movement just pm either myself or I Effin Rule

During what would be the standard night phase (referred to as the the first 45 minutes of the hour for this game) , you will PM the mods (myself and I Effn Rule) with an area of the map you are moving to. If you happen to decide in an area that is under attack by a monster, you may very well die. You will also have limitations in your movements that will be explained in your role PM.

Furthermore, most of you have 2 goals. The first is shared by all of you, and it’s simply to survive and escape Manhattan. The secondary goal will be described in your role PM.

You may choose to put other players up for sacrifice through majority vote. During the what would be the standard Day Phase (referred to as the the last 15 minutes of the hour for this game) you need to indicate who you want to be sacrificed through the standard Vote: Player XXXX mechanic and you must also choose which area to string the other player up in. To make these decisions. Simply post:

Vote: Player X
Location: Tribeca




I'll also reiterate. Role claim and reveal your location at your own risks!!!!

March 4th, 2009


His heart was pounding. This was it! This was the big break he had been waiting for. Sure some had to die to get this far, but they were weak. They didn’t share his vision or his passion. This was his hour, and he was going to savor every minute of it.

He couldn’t help but peek from behind the curtain. Just as he had hoped; a full house, waiting to see what he brought to the world. Finally it was time for the unveiling, finally he’d get the recognition he’d longed for.

He slowly paced up to the front of the stage. Removed his hat and bowed to the audience. The anticipation of the crowd was palpable and he let them stew in it for just a second.

He approached the microphone, but, he wasn’t one for long drawn out speeches. A simple introduction was all the guest of honor would need.

“Ladies and Gentlemen... I give you... KONG! THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!”

The curtain drew back as the orchestra began to play the ominous tune the man had picked out himself. Woman gasped and children cried as the 30 Foot ape was revealed. Many others simply sat in stunned silence. He simply grinned.

The stage suddenly sprung to life as dancers sporting wooden masks and nothing more than loin clothes filled the stage performing a tribal dance. Fiery explosions erupted as the hired MC began to tell the tale of “Kong’s” capture. The crowd itself jumped to life erupting in applause, save for just a few.

These few saw no reason for applause. Perhaps they were unimpressed with the exposition. Or more likely, perhaps they noticed the sadness in the beast’s eyes.

Whichever the case, that sadness was about to be replaced by rage.

The bulbs flashed as photographers began to take pictures, all of them hoping their photo would be the one to properly capture the event. Either not noticing or caring as the beast began to thrash about in distress.

He however, did notice, and knowing first hand what his “Kong” was capable of, desperately tried to stop the photographers. However, by then it was too late.

Alone, scared, and confused, “Kong” began to thrash about causing the metal stand which he had been bound to creak and sway. In theory it would keep the beast bound to the stage where he couldn’t hurt anybody, but it was never tested to withstand the full force of the 30 foot ape.

It took all of 2 minutes for “Kong” to break free. Still full of rage he leapt into the crowd, crushing the slower to react members of the audience beneath his weight. He then jumped to the balcony, trying to scale it before the structure buckled and collapsed under the pressure. This only continued to anger the beast as he violently cut through the now empty rows of theater seats. He continued his wrath until something, familiar, caught his eye.

No, not something; someone.

Hiding in the corner the woman was almost completely concealed, all but her striking blonde hair. Slowly, calmly the beast approached. His anger seemingly subsided. He scooped the woman up, carefully laying her in the palm of his hand. Finally he turned her around, and the rage returned. That wasn’t who he thought it was.

The beast violently threw the woman across the theater; her body crashing against the rubble which used to be theater seating. Approaching the main exit of the building the beast looked back one last time and saw the man, still standing on the stage; the very man responsible for his current plight. With fire in his eyes he let loose a vicious roar, perhaps as a warning, before bounding through the face of the building and entering the city.

Leaving the man alone in the empty, nearly collapsed theater.

…………………

Little Johnny was a curious kid. He liked nothing more but to sit on the rooftop of his parent’s apartment building. Often times liking nothing more but to sit and watch. Sometimes he’d gaze at the stars other times, he’d watch the people march by like ants in his own twisted ant farm.

Tonight however, he was watching the comings and goings of the various boats in the bay. One in particular caught his eye. An exceptionally large Oil Tanker; one that had been sitting in the same spot for a number of hours. Little Johnny had found that particularly peculiar as every other ship came and went with ease. But this ship had been sitting idle for quite some time.

It was still too far for him to see clearly what was going on, even with his telescope he could never be certain about what was happening inside the vessel. Not knowing however had failed to quell his curiosity. And so, he continued to watch.

And then something exceedingly unexpected occurred. A large swell of water rose up and engulfed the tanker tossing the large vessel on its side. The sound of the water crashing upon the ships hull was akin to an explosion. Terrifying and exhilarating all at the same time.

And if that weren’t peculiar enough, the ripple from wave continued to move. Not just move mind you. It began to gain speed as it headed in the direction of Liberty Island.

Little Johnny became couldn’t contain his excitement; he had never witnessed an event such as this before. The swell continued to speed up and grew in size. Thirteen feet, fifteen; by the time it made contact with the island it had grown upwards of 30 feet. The force of its impact engulfing the island and sending a chunk of the statue of liberty hurling to the sea.

Yet still, Little Johnny couldn’t look away.

And that’s when he saw it. It was like nothing he had ever seen. Taller than most buildings it raised up out of the water, approaching the statue that had been a symbol of the great city. Was it a crustacean, a spider, mutated whale, even Johnny couldn’t be certain. He just knew that he couldn’t look away no matter how frightened or how terrifying the thing was.

It stood there next to the statue for just a moment, allowing a few terrified souls to marvel at its existence. Then it struck. Taking a swipe at the statue it sent the head of the structure hurtling toward Manhattan.

And just as quickly it was gone, back in the water.

However, it wasn’t hard to tell where it was going. The swell of water once again rose, gaining speed, as it head straight for the heart of New York City.


…………………




It is now 7:00 PM. You have until 5PM EST Thursday, March 5th (10PM GMT Thursday, March 5th) to send in your PM's to both Imarevenant and I Effin Rule.

Give me a Swiss Army Knife, a broken beer bottle and a rope with a horseshoe tied to the end of it, and I'll bring down that ape.

Oh and a biplane if you're got one handy.

... and a gun wouldn't hurt.

Where do you get West from?

I'm on the East Coast, therefore Midtown East would be more justified.

Hmm...

You clearly have an unfair advantage over us who don't live around New York. I guess your knowledge of how to navigate Manhattan could come in handy...

Change Vote: No Vote


For now, atleast.
