Otaklue: Signups

[Drizzt Do'urden]

I thought I'd try my hand at an Otaku game.

The night was cold outside the old mansion. Several OB members gathered after they received a single omnious letter...

[I]Dear fellow Ob....uhhh...person,[/I]

[I]Ummm I heard there's some treasure hidden in Greenwurst manor just outside of OB city. I'm not sure how much, but I have a friend who says there's a LOT. If you're interested please meet me at the mansion on Monday, March 23rd for a search. All treasure will be split accordingly.[/I]

[I]Your friend forever[/I]

[I]Drizzt Do'urden[/I]

That was all it said, but yet it was enough to bring members from all corners of OB city....

Okay here's the situation. We are going to play a game of clue...well Otaklue. In this game everybody will be gathering in the mansion to search for treasure, but along the way people will be....dropping out. Wouldn't be a game without rules:

1.) I will select 1 person as the "killer" among all people involved.

2.) I will be playing the role as an inspector, sent to investigate the death of a fellow OB member who will be the first to die (will be somebody not playing so they won't come back as the killer).

3.) Each round will take a week, and will follow this format. A.) Each round will begin with the death of somebody, I will allow the killer to "make the kill" when the lights go out.

B.) Each person involved will then make a short post telling of where they were in the room, and what they were doing when the lights come back on. Once every other round a member will be able to use the "I was searching room X for treasure." This won't keep you out of the fire, but may help you. You never know.

C.) Each round will enter a "voting" stage in which all members (including the killer) will vote who they believe to be the killer.

D.) The condemed will have one chance to "plea" their innocence. And we will have one more vote (this step will be a maybe. It may just be the condemed may plea'd their innocent, but it won't matter. More of a "funny" moment.

E.) In the event the killer is killed off early on, a "contingency" plan will be initiated. This is something I'll work on, but hopefully our killer will be sly enough to keep others off his scent.

*In order for everything to play out right please only sign-up if you can, to the best of your knowledge, commit to 2 posts a week

I'll extend the rounds accordingly if we have somebody missing. If somebody just fails to post for a whole round without me hearing from them they will be the next victim, you can't help if you can't post sometimes but we can't hold the game forever.

The "treasure" may or may not be real. If it is the last person(s) standing will receive it. If the killer makes it all the way through they will get it.

As for a sign-up just a "hey sign me up" will suffice....well something to that effect that goes 25 characters. As the letter said we will be starting Mondady March 23rd. Unless we have two few members, then the date will be extended. (I know it's pushing Finals week for many OBers, if so and you'd like to play give me an idea of when you will be done and we can try adjusting accordingly.)

This is Certainly amazing, a little confusing, but I'm up to a challenge. I'm so in ^_^

[Drizzt Do'urden]

I'm going to go ahead and call this one a bust, I know I said we'd start on the 23rd but due to lack of interest I'm going to scrap it and revamp in some way.

If anyone has any suggestions to make this better in some way please feel free to post it here or pm me. I'd appreciate any feedback, constructive or otherwise.

-Edit Sorry about that Gavin and Drizzt, that was way uncalled for on my part.

[Drizzt Do'urden]

hmm....they say curiousity killed the cat, but I can't help being a little curious as to what it said.

But I do appreciate the give it time advice, though as I've seen on the boards that's not the "way things work". So I'm going to keep it scraped, thanks for the words of encouragement though.

[SIZE="1"]I've been meaning to add my own two cents to this for a while now. Otaklue is a great idea for an event/game Drizzt and I should know because it was the event I was working on for about two months after I became the new Convention Center moderator. Unfortunately as you probably figured out yourself already transferring the rules between a board-game and a forum-game are quite difficult and as much progress as I made with liamc2 we just couldn't get to the final stages.

I would however like to extend and offer to partner up to work on this event as I'm eager to try and get Otaklue up and running eventually.[/SIZE]

And I too would like to lend a helping hand, as to repay fot the unspeakable thing I said, once again, i am sorry. I hope you will let me help Drizzt.
