The Mysterious Murder

[AlterNathan]

PLot idea: Far away in a relatively quiet city close to the border, a murder shocks the town. several suspects are found by the police but due to a lack of evidence they cannot keep them in custody. Inspector Mary Rose leads the investigation and receives full support of the mayor. ... Short but simple, here's the deal: this is a story driven RP, every player has one character (dont grow to attached to him/her) this character can be murdered if I wish to do so. when your character dies you can make a new one if you so desire. Every character apart from the inspector (me) and the mayor (assigned co-gm) will be a suspect. players can interact with me through pm, I will direct the story as a gm, give certain people hints through pm or make an IC post about it. The better you write the more i will reward you with hints and tips, if you write quite bad you might get murdered. in the end there is only one murderer and only i know who it will be, untill i tell you it might be you... ... Please let me know if you are interested, I will open de OOC and IC if i have at least four players with me. ... High-casual. some knowledge anout spelling and grammar is needed, (i also make mistakes). I love long posts, ten sentences minimum. collabs are encouraged. feel free to give me som tips

Interested, but logical old me has to ask questions. How will our characters be the murderer if they're going around acting/knowing(?) they aren't them? You know? It sounds like they have schizophrenia or multiple personalities or something. I'm just not seeing how you'll determine who the murderer is in an IC fashion.

He could just pm the murderer, u know. Pm whoever he wants to be the murder after we make a character

@agentmanatee

Yes, and then perhaps "murder" scenes aren't acted out by the person, but posted in let's say example: newspaper headline style; as the following day. That way we won't know who the murderer really is until 1) everyone else but them dies, 2) someone figures it out

Do we have enough people to get started? Cause I'm kinda pumped

[AlterNathan]

i have enough people to start it now. Thread will be up februari 14th in the afternoon

Interested. Also a question: is it possible for a character to have secret information only known by the GM? This wouldn't be anything related to the character being a murder mastermind or victim.

@Ariamis

I sure hope so :D That would make for some fun things.
