the game will comprise between 11-21 players, as long as 11 contestants line up game can proceed normally but would like to achieve between 15-21, the contestants will be forced and trapped to reside in a specific "trapped" location, the only way for players to eventually be set free and escape the trapped location is to basically commit the perfect murder, succeed in commiting a murder against one of the fellow players and get away with it you will escape and win, however after a murder a trial will be run and if the players were to account and figure out who the murderer is and execute them, the murderer will instead die and be punished for killing, if there is also not enough players left to commit any more murders (number range 1-4, host call in the end when she feels like it) all surviving players will be let out free winning the game along with any murderers who escaped, survival is all that matters, and when its between being locked up for eternity or waiting till one of your fellow friends pull the trigger on you, its kill or be killed
General information
- The goal for every player is to survive and escape, the main way of escaping is to kill another player in the game and getting away with their murder, after enough murders happen the remaining surviving players will be allowed to leave for surviving also thus winning the game
- The game will run in three phases each chapter, free mode, investigation mode, and trial mode
- Every day will last 24 hour period for players to assign their actions in their personal pms,
- The game will be based on a map, a general area the players will mull around in surviving but unable to leave unless allowed to or through death, the map will continue items, events, furniture, and other objects and things for players to interact with to help plan and gather for their crime or protection
- The map will only be updated after the three phases have ended and the start of a new chapter, which then the map will be cleaned spruced up and sorted while taking in account each players actions (only exception is each players rooms, which contents will be invisible to the general map, and hidden objects players have hide at places of the map)
- Every player will have the same basic abilities,
- Interact: may choose to pick up, interact with, hide, or mess with an item or object in a specific part of the map, can be done to either take the object in your inventory (inventory is tied to your players specific room), modify the item in your own specifics, or to inspect to see what is on or around the object to see its history, if another player has chosen to interact with the same object and beats you to it (which will be based off map positioning and speed) will be unable to interact with that specific object.
- Investigate: search and explore the area you have chosen to keep an eye and get information based off the surroundings and contents in the specific part of the map you have chosen to investigate, when investigating a players room will be able to see and spot every item the player has taken in their inventory.
- Interrogate: can check a player and see their current state of mind, what is covered on them, and their general appearance, this leads to details based off who the player is and what they were possibly doing during the day and if there is one, the time of the crime.
- KILL: chooses to stage a murder at a time and a place on the map, how you proceed with the murder is up to your plan and description, depending on your choice of actions leads to who you kill if you are able to kill one. in success of killing a player the newly appointed killer will be given additional time slots if they have succeeded without any witnesses to cover up their crime, an player succeeding this action is what will move the phase from free mode to investigation mode. can choose to kill up to two players at any time as long as its before the trial phase starts
- Every player will also be accompanied by a talent that they and only they will have, talents offer both a bonus to some actions while also adding flaws to your player in general
- Players will be able to see other players and will be notified who is in their area, and if others are messing with objects bigger than they can fit on person will also be able to take note
- Each ability uses up one time slot allowed given the phase, there are morning, days, and nights, killers will be given additional time slots at the moment they kill their victim during what time period
- Creativity is key, you have a map laid out before you and many tools at your disposal along with a talent that could possibly offer you more ideas with in the realms of possibility, information will also be dulled at you all throughout every day to help find the truth during trials, anything is fair game as long as it doesn't break the rules and the limits
- Murder is not the only way a player dies, players can end up committing suicide (by choice of leaving or being inactive a certain amount of days) or accidents (either through the maps setting of interaction or through players own action) both of these will still move free mode to investigation mode and a trial will still be held, there are also on the spot executions (host kills) though these won't move the phase and instead be punishment for breaking rules
Free Mode
- The first phase of each chapter, at the start of the game or after every trial free mode activates and the map will be updated to the threads post and main post to everyone to see
- Players may chill relax and **** post in the community chat of the thread, 3 or more players can also vote to do a specific action on the map to have wide spread option or to constantly update the map at their choice, or to just goof off and impact the map in whatever they wish to do
- Players will choose their actions in their personal pms for the day of the phase, 1 time slot for each morning, day, and night leading to 3 different actions to be taken each day
- Free mode can last as long as possible till a player dies, though it is not indefinite, the longer free mode lasts the more likely an accident will occur killing someone
- The moment a player died that is not through execution free mode will turn into investigation mode
Investigation Mode
- when a player has been killed the community will be alerted on the news
- if the body has not been discovered by a player or the killing has not been witnessed the players can not undergo any community actions till they locate the body
- if the killer has successfully killed without any witnesses they are able to get 3 additional time slots for the period of time they committed the crime to cover up their kill
- when the body is found and/or discovered by the community it will be treated like an object that can be interacted with
- from then on now and including in the trial phase, anything players and the community unearth can be accounted into evidence by their choice, these can range from descriptions of players, structures of rooms, objects they find, missing things they can't find, or even quotes (that can be modified) said by players, anything can be accounted for into evidence as long as it has been something you have been given and approved by the host, all you need to do is ask the host to put it into evidence, community evidence will be shared on main posts while personal players evidence will in their own personal pms
- Just like in the free mode but given more purpose, when 3 or more players vote for an action it will happen and described as community investigation and they can request anything they find into evidence, this has no limit only requires 3 different players to vote the same thing
- Unlike the free mode, players in their personal pms get 2 time slots per time period, equaling to 6 total actions being taken during that day
- Only the successful killer may use the kill ability, any one who has not taken a life will not be able to use the kill ability during the investigation phase
- The investigation phase will end the next day IF there are no more deaths, if another player has died the investigation phase will continue another day, after that it moves onto the trial phase
Trail phase
- once the investigation phase ends, all the players are gathered to a court, there they will debate and talk among themselves of who is the killer
- players will be able to present any evidence they have in their personal pms, or through the communities evidence to show and prove points among the discussions, they can also still request anything to be added to the communities evidence pool as long as it is acceptable by host standards
- submitting fake evidence is perfectly legal to either confuse or trick players or by complete accident of not knowing, submitting illegal evidence that is not approved by host will result on the spot execution for breaking rules
- Points and votes can still be made without evidence, creativity and critical thinking are still very well preserved here, go with gut feelings if you have them
- players will have 24 hours to decide who the murder is and vote in public who they believe it is
- a player has to vote someone during a trial, there can be no abstains here, any abstains will be transferred to whoever has the highest amounts of votes
- players can vote dead players during a trial, however if the real murderer has not been voted by the majority these will be counted as abstains
- if the players are able to figure out the killer, the killer will be executed as punishment on the spot and join the graveyard with the rest of the dead
- if the players are not able to figure out the killer and instead vote an innocent person, the innocent person will be executed and the killer will be allowed to leave the map survived, the punishment instead will be handed out among one of the people who voted the innocent person and those who voted abstain/dead players, after words the chapter ends and the cycle reverts
the game will continue this format until the surviving players that are left alive will not have any more room for murders, these players will be handed victories and be allowed to leave the location
Tl:dr version for uni and holder, people are trapped, kill or be killed, investigate and make cases, go ace attorney during trials and find out who killed and execute or die
