This Mystery Game’s mechanics are close to the Clue/Cluedo game’s mechanics. If you know the board game, you’ll have a better understanding.

1. When the game is about to start, I will randomly pick from each category to create an answer – who murdered, with which weapon, and where the murder took place. This leaves eight innocent suspects, eight weapons, and eight rooms not related to the murder.

2. There will be eight players. Each player will be given one of the eight names, one of the eight weapons, and one of the eight rooms that weren't related to the murder.

3. Each turn, the players will either choose to move to a different area, make a suggestion or an accusation. Moving to an area and a Suggestion are done by sending a private message to the host. An accusation needs to be posted in the public thread.

4. When in an area, a player can submit a suggestion, consisting of a suspect’s name, a weapon, and an area. If there were any clues that were unrelated to the murder out of the three, host will reply with one of the clues.

5. When disapproving a suggestion with a clue, the host will run down the clues that other players have in a certain order. The order will be decided by the sign-ups.

6. If a suggestion was disapproved, the player must move to a different area in the next Turn.

7. If a player makes a formal accusation, they must be in the area in which they think the murder took place.
The formal accusation must be stated as a post in the public thread. The host will then say if the accusation was right or wrong. If the accusation is wrong, the player will be eliminated from the game and the clues they had will be distributed randomly among the remaining players. There’s only one chance, so use the chance wisely.

8. Each turn takes 48 hours. A turn will end at 9 PM CST.

9. I will eliminate players if they do not send in an action for a second time. The clues they had will be randomly distributed among the remaining players.
Basically all you’d need to do at each turn is send me a Private Message for your next move, or make a post if you wish to make a formal accusation. There’s not much activity required to play this game. Please sign up only if you can maintain this minimal activity.

10. Discussion among players to find clues is fine, but all game-related talk has to be done within the game thread.

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

Might as well! How long will each round be roughly?

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

Gosh Swifty, way to not read the rules.

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

YES YES YES YES YES.

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

Wow.

If this doesn't scream 'deranged and psychopathic murderer', I don't know what does.

I'm in.

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

Sure I the Great Maxie will join this!

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

I'll go ahead and partake in this little shindig

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

So, after a nice and long AIM chat, here are some clarifications for people.

You have to move from room to room. The room that are in is the one you have to use in your suggestion. And as per rule 6, the turn after a suggestion was disproved you move to a different one to guess with. I feel like something else was mentioned, but it slips the mind right now.

EDIT: Remembered the other thing.

The making a suggestion and moving to a new area do not occur on the same turn. You move one turn, then make a suggestion the next. You can make an accusation at any time though.

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

Signing up, granted I'm not barred from the game. If I am, I haven't been told yet.

I'm just concerned that the game as-is has no strategy. It's a game of random guesses-- and those random guesses can only be made once every four days. I don't even know what gratification one would get from winning such a game, like, "ooh, I guessed the fastest!"

So I guess I'm leaving it up to you to prove me wrong.

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

Aww. I'm flattered.

^THAT screams psychopathic murderer.

 

Re: URPG Murder Mystery-Signups(07/04/15)

Saw there was one open space, may I join?

After all, no one will suspect the newbie
Heh Heh Heh

Spoiler

1) @Fawkes.;
2) @swiftgallade46;
3) @Peaceful Giraffe;
4) @Seppe;
5) @Maxie the Weavile;
6) @DarknessRuler;
7) @Truly;
8) @Equinox;

I am now sending out the starting clues. Once you have received them, post in thread that you have and then send me the room you wish to start in. You will have 48 hours to do this, ending on Saturday at 9ish CST. If everybody sends stuff in early, I may end the phase early.

When disproving a suggestion I will use this order. Fawkes -> Swifty -> PG -> Seppe -> Maxie -> DR -> Truly -> Equinox -> Fawkes
