This is a game I loved playing way back in 2011 on my first RP forum, modified into the Warriors realm! You may have to close one eye at some impossibilities in the story section. xD
Game may still be subject to changes! IT'S A LOT OF READING, but TRUST ME, IT'S WORTH IT!
...until one night, it happened - the murder of your leader who happened to be on their last life.
This turn of events has cats throwing hostile snarls towards the outsiders who are present, while the outsiders hiss back with accusations that one of your Clanmates is the one with the tainted claws and fangs. Everyone is bristled up and hurling accusations left and right while the murderer watches gleefully within your ranks. Their glee could be shortlived, for StarClan has disclosed the murderer's identity to one cat, who must evade the evil one long enough to convince the Clan the taker of their leader's life. The guards have taken up positions around the edges of camp. No one enters camp. No one leaves camp. There will be no flow of cats either direction until the murder of the leader is solved - it seems everyone's work is now cut out for them.
Now...
Objective:
Good Cats - Figure out [you]who the murderer is[/you], and [you]persecute them[/you] for your leader's death.
Murderer - [you]Find and kill the witness[/you] before you are found out.
Roles:
Murderer(s) [2 to 4] - You have taken xxstar's last life, and the Clan is now hunting you down. StarClan has diclosed your identity to one cat (the Witness), who is now hiding amongst the Clan, quite like you. You must find and kill them before they turn the present cats on you! Perhaps you can turn the cats back on them? Beware - making yourself too obvious may cause your own demise.
Witness(es) [1 to 3] - StarClan has revealed the identity of the murderer(s) to you but in tattered visions, and unfortunately, that now makes you the main target by the one everyone Clan is seeking to persecute. You must decode StarClan's clues and ultimately convince your Clanmates to accuse the murderer instead of an innocent! but beware - the killer will find you if you make yourself too obvious.
Medicine Cat(s) [2] - Your excellent herb knowledge is needed more than ever - you must save the innocent cats from death, especially the Witness(es) who holds the identity of the criminal! Remember not all can be saved, for sacrifices must always be made.
Regular Cats - You are the main voice in this mystery. You must find xxstar's murderer and punish them! Be careful of where you throw your accusations - you might take an innocent life, consequently reducing your own chances of survival.
How the Game Goes:
This game is played in rounds, and one complete game will be called a session. Each session will have a preparatory round, in which I will assign the special roles (Murderer, Witness, Med Cat) to players using a Randomiser. The number of spots for each main role will depend on the total number of players; their maximums are in square brackets [x]. My maximum player cap is currently at 20.
How each round will go:
Initial Round (IR)
1) A post will be written to introduce the murder of xxstar.
2) Players must then roleplay their characters (we don't really need lengthy posts!), ultimately ending in them deciding who they think the murderer is. Please make sure you make it clear who you are casting your vote to!
3) When all has posted OR I have gotten enough votes OR two days has passed, I will tally the votes and prepare the next story post.
4) I will post the story of the Accused's execution - whether it is an innocent or the murderer will only be revealed in the next post.
Pre-Rounds after Initial Round
The following will occur
- Murderers will PM me with who they wish to kill. One per murderer.
- Med Cats will PM me with who they wish to save. One per med cat. Med cats can save themselves.
- Witnesses will receive their first clue in a PM. On subsequent rounds, StarClan's clues will come infrequently and inconsistently.
Subsequent Rounds
1) Story will be posted with the following - the results of the previous execution, and who was murdered.
2) Repeat Steps 2 to 4 of IR.
RULES, GUIDELINES, WHAT HAVE YOU!1) Standard Code of Conduct of the site applies.
2) In this game, you use your available characters that you have on AWRP! It doesn't matter which Clan they are from - they will all be considered in the same Clan for the sake of this game! Loners and Rogues are allowed in this game as well!
3) One character per player per session!
4) Let others have a chance to play! When there are people in the waiting list, I will ask the [you]first-most player[/you] to make way for them; you'll be shifted to the bottom of the waiting list. Rotations will occur every session.
5) I'm the Gamemaster, obviously. XD If you need clarification, PM me! I will refresh the instructions at the end of my story posts, in case you're not sure of what to do!
6) If you are willing and active enough to take a special role, send a PM my way! I will use a randomiser to have the special roles assigned! I WILL PM YOU YOUR ROLES, REGARDLESS IF SPECIAL OR REGULAR. CHECK YOUR GAME-PM THREAD.
Modification suggestion by Fablie!
7) DO NOT request and/or post your position on this thread! SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE! Otherwise, this takes away the element of mystery from the game, and consequently the fun of it! I may penalise you if you contravene this rule.
8) You CANNOT reveal who you are in the game! This means you should [you]refrain from writing out your character's thoughts too much [/you]! Same reason as above.
9) You are NOT ALLOWED to give clues or answers to other players in PMs outside of the game, especially if you are the Witness or your character is dead! Remember, your character wants to survive as much as the next cat! Cbox discussions of the goings of the game are somewhat okay, but don't push your luck. Penalties will be incurred if I see anyone going against this rule!
10) Exception to above rule: Murderers and Med Cats can PM one another (Murderer and Murderer, Med Cat and Med Cat) on who they strategically want to kill or save. Read the next two points for further explanation as to why.
- When your character dies, I'll reveal to you in PM who the murderer(s) is/are. Sad life for you.
11) In the case where we have multiple cats in the special roles, if a Murderer accidentally targets his fellow Murderer, then the attack will have been wasted but you earn the incentive of finding your ally, and it will be written in post. This so-called immunity will not work if it's down to the last three or four cats, depending on population.
12) Med Cats will ALWAYS know who the other Med Cat is.
13) If you are going away from the site for prolonged periods of time, please let me know, especially if you hold a special role!
Rule added by Fablie!
14) You must pay attention if you want to win! There are ways to figure out who's who, but you will need to take note of the movements in the story just like Clue(do)!
15) This is also a good way to help those who want to train their writing, so have fun everyone! ^^
16) If you are going to change your vote, please state from who to who. It makes it easier for me to tally the final votes later. (E.g I change my vote from NPCshade to NPCshine.)
17) In the case where there are tied and/or not enough votes by the end of the two-day window, I will use a randomiser to see who will be executed.
18) Always check back to the front page before you reply! There will probably always be updates!
19) DO NOT edit your posts! I don't want to have to keep updating the front page because someone keeps modifying something in them. If it's a missing detail e.g character hasn't defended themselves, accusation not made, you can do so after someone else replies! Remember there's a two-day window for all votes to come in!
Game may still be subject to changes! IT'S A LOT OF READING, but TRUST ME, IT'S WORTH IT!
Story:
The forest has been home to the Clans for many generations, each and every one of them defending their homes and families against the evils of the living and spiritual world. You are living in one such Clan, peacefully watching the days go by as warriors and apprentices go about their duties, while the queens watched with amused purrs as kits tumbled outside the nursery. While you do not always welcome rogues and loners, it is by some strange reasoning that your leader allows them to join in the festivities of celebrating the coming of newleaf. All seems well in the new year......until one night, it happened - the murder of your leader who happened to be on their last life.
This turn of events has cats throwing hostile snarls towards the outsiders who are present, while the outsiders hiss back with accusations that one of your Clanmates is the one with the tainted claws and fangs. Everyone is bristled up and hurling accusations left and right while the murderer watches gleefully within your ranks. Their glee could be shortlived, for StarClan has disclosed the murderer's identity to one cat, who must evade the evil one long enough to convince the Clan the taker of their leader's life. The guards have taken up positions around the edges of camp. No one enters camp. No one leaves camp. There will be no flow of cats either direction until the murder of the leader is solved - it seems everyone's work is now cut out for them.

How is the game won?
Method One: Good cats persecute ALL the murderers!
Method Two: Murderers kill ALL innocent cats in play!
Note: If the population of innocents is 1 against 1 or more Murderers, then the Murderers will have won
There will definitely be scenarios where it may be unclear who won. We'll determine the tide of the battle once we get to that scenario.
