Goblin Serial Killer - Signups open!

Post by Dlover » Fri Jul 25, 2014 3:56 pm

So, as a header: It's been decided that, in order to make this game as welcoming as possible to new players, the number of pages should be kept down a bit. As such, we're going to use a single thread until it reaches ten pages, and then the next game starts on the next thread. I'll be posting the start of the game shortly.

The rules:
In this forum game, some of the players take on the roles of serial killers trying to kill everybody else. The "innocent" players, known as citizens, try to guess who the killers are by looking for clues in the descriptions of the kills. Every round lasts about a week and requires you to post every day, preferably more. To sign up, copy the numbered player list and add your name at the bottom.

So, we're finally getting back to it again. We've had to change locations, unfortunately, after the last host of this little party came down with a bout of life. Terrible thing, that. As a result, I've decided to hire somebody to rid you all of that problem! Have fun!

The Assassin's Kill

A cold wind howls, the sky turns grey
As stormclouds roll in, and bare trees sway.

You hear footsteaps, you spin around
You try to scream, but make no sound.

Was it footsteps, or padded paws?
You think up strange beasts with fangs and claws.

Then cold fingers grasp around your throat
You fade to black, one less to vote.

Hmmm, perhaps the clues here are in the question of whether our killer is using paws or feet, fangs and claws or fingers? I think I'm going to have to cast a vote against the local shapeshifter.

Well, its not much to go on. I also got the lycanthrope vibe, but that doesn't seem very assassin like. I felt like between the reference to "fingers grasp around your throat" and "You try to scream, but make no sound" there might be something to do with strangling?

I'm gonna vote for pat. Simply because when its that much more poetic than the stuff I write, I'm just gonna assume its him. Sorry buddy.

Strange beast with fangs and claws? Sounds like a dragon. So I'm thinking Pat.

Hmm good point. Unless we think its the dragon killing while Hiccup strangles from behind! (Poor Hiccup!) Sorry mate, I'm sticking with my vote so we have a lynching, and if you're not the killer then I'm sorry :(

Im thinking its likely a newer player as there is no victim tag. Older players will know that you have to place a tag even in the dummy kill. I think it may be Alaen since his avatar is a ranger who, in my mind atleast, would be very quiet.

Actually Synch that makes a lot of sense. Didn't think of it before but Toothless was a Nightfury. And I remember Nightfuries being described by the animators as the stealth bomber of dragons. The one thing that would combine stealth, fangs, and claws into one thing: a night fury. Everything the clue is asking for. Yep, I suddenly don't feel so trivial about picking pat anymore.

I would have voted for Dlover, but he is the host. :P
I think Davecom has a point; also Odd is suspiciously knowledgeable about the victim thing, he might have faked it. Not to mention that his old avatar was a rabbit with tentacles.

I want to clear that thought up right away. people have in the past been the killer while simultaneously being the host, so I may well be. But that's reserved for when nobody sends in any kills at all. So it is possible, but unlikely.

Gonna but this clearly, I'm not the killer! If I had been many of the older players would recognize my style. However in the interest of saving my own butt I will vote for Pat. I can also confirm that the killer is not Dlover as I sent in a dummy kill so he got at least two (mine and the real killer's).

actually, im considering changing my vote to Synch, as the text fits well with him being a actor in a scream park...
He also has a similar word use

Pat and Kelt's votes shouldn't actually count I don't think since they were posted well after the 24 hour mark.

im going to dissagree (obviously) but i asked early on in the thread was this a 24 hour thing and got no answer. Nowhere in this thread does it say 24 hours only and as still not update id say its still ok to change votes.

Sorry I'm so late. Car broke down, was stranded for quite some time. And I'm going to have to push the update time back to around now, anyway. I've realised that I'm a student and don't have mornings free apart from Saturdays. :roll: But... Yeah, The last two changes were technically after the 24 hour mark, and I have to be consistent. Sorry, guys. Anyway, let's get on with it.

Poor Pat, just wanted to teach the dragons not to eat people, and now he's been hanged and quartered, with a quarter each taken to those people who got him. But it seems there's something nobody knows what to do with. The Trowel. Well, it doesn't even know what to do with itself, so it's time to see what happens... Hm. Well, the only oddity I'm seeing is that fishman wrestling Chuck. Anybody else? No? Alright, let's call it an Ackbar and get on with out lives.
Ackbar: As the leading lynch voter, Chuck's ability to vote has been disabled for a turn.

The Assassin's Kill

The clock chimes, the midnight hour
When I'll drain your life force and steal your power.

No razor fangs, no claws that pierce,
No killer beast from jungles fierce.

Just little me, with tricks and rhymes.
I'll kill again, a dozen times.

So who will be next to meet their fate?
You feel the garotte, moments too late.
