TIAMAT

[soulping]

[The interior of your team cabin is far warmer than the winter outside. Each cabin is outfitted with enough beds for all present, and a table laden with food. Thick, juicy meats. Fatty broths. Congealed blood sausages. The sort of food that gets you through a harsh winter. The sort of food that makes you fat and tasty.]

HOW TO PLAY

[soulping]

- You’re a sheep! You have no idea who the other sheep teams are. The goal of the sheep is to vote out the two wolf teams before the wolves can kill everyone, while not dying yourselves.

- You have your very own team voting account (teamtiamat / PASSWORD: T1@m@t) that you need to use for voting! This is so any member of the team can change the team’s vote at any time. Use this for ALL the polls.

- You can use this private team post to talk with your team for the entire time you’re alive.

- Two posts will go up in the main community every day until the game is won.

DAY

[soulping]

- The first post is a “day” post that will go up in the main community. This post is a mingle for all currently alive teams to talk to each other, discuss, accuse, strategize, etc. In public.

- It also has a “Which team is the most suspicious?” poll. Each team gets to place one vote in this poll. The two teams with the most votes by 6pm will be facing off in the dusk execution post, and one of them will die.

- Use your special team account to vote. Who your team voted on is hidden to everyone else, so feel free to lie about your actions.

- Voting will be frozen at 6pm sharp. Failure to vote may lead to votes being randomly placed by the Yaksinis, and voting ties will be solved with coinflips.

You may notice these posts are put up with my ‘March’ journal. Don’t pay attention to that, I just needed the paid polls feature.

DUSK

[soulping]

- Then a “dusk post” happens in the main community with another poll. This poll has only two teams: The two teams that were voted most suspicious in the day post.

- In this poll, teams will be choosing who lives and who dies. The team with the most votes will be executed by the Yaksinis. Like the “day” poll, you have to use your custom team account to vote.

- Voting is public! Everyone will be able to see which team you voted on, and vice versa.

- But if you’re one of the teams up for execution, you can’t vote. Your job is to convince people not to kill you.

- If your team is executed, you won’t be able to participate further in the game, and you’ll be sent to an afterlife post to hang out with the other dead teams until the game is over!

NIGHT

[soulping]

When “Night” happens, there won’t be a public post. Instead, you’ll find a comment on this private team post titled “Night.”

During this period, you don’t have anything to do and can just talk. However, the wolves will be picking a sheep to kill. If you turn out to be that sheep, you’ll be killed in this post and it’s off to the afterlife post with you.

OOC questions

Need something OOCly clarified, player to player? Go ahead and ask here, I'll get to you ASAP!

Re: OOC questions

[awhiterose]

Are characters ICly aware that this is a kill game?

Re: OOC questions

[toomuchyakking]

Yes, ♥ All IC rules are understood automatically. That includes it being real murder!

Re: OOC questions

[toomuchyakking]

Oh, but since a lot of characters seem to be unsure, it's okay to roll with it either way! I probably wasn't clear enough when I wrote that rule, sorry.

There's something about this game . . .

Bad vibes?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[awhiterose]

It's familiar.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ Uh oh. ]

Familiar in what way?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[awhiterose]

Familiar in that, "I think I might've played something similar before but can't put my finger on the details" way.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ Oh goody. ]

Hopefully we have a little advantage over others, then.

Gee, I wonder what it could be?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[awhiterose]

'kay, so, I am pretty sure we've played this game before. I don't have any of the details, 'cuz the memory was about . . . other things . . .

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

-- eh? What d'you mean we've played this game before?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

[ Perched on the edge of one of the beds, her own expression totally blank. She's too anxious to eat, though she's trying to hide it. ]

You've done this before?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

. . . no.

[not that he remembers, anyway]

I haven't. But does that matter?

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[onebullet]

No.

[ Sighs and clenches her hands between her knees. ]

Guess we'll have to decide who to vote for pretty quick.

Re: Discuss (Day - Dusk 1)

[carptricks]

We don't have to vote.

[saying that firmly]
