It's finally here. The first (and possibly only) Random Thoughts Thread Murder House game! Here are the house members:


Room 1: CG-Nickels Murder Weapons: fish knife, killer puppy
Room 2: GTO-Pants-isulives2train Murder Weapons: frozen pineapple, dumbbell
Room 3: BCClone-Clonelawman Murder Weapons: riding mower blade, heavy law book
Room 4: KC-SaraVforVendetta Murder Weapons: banana peel, Eowyn's sword
Room 5: WooClone-jcyclonee Murder Weapons: bagpipes, carpool tire iron
Room 6: Boxster-Chaser Murder Weapons: killer mustache, scalding hot "barbecue"
Room 7: cyrevkah-CyBirdy Murder Weapons: poisoned cupcake, metal ISU belt buckle
Room 8: Wxman-00clone Murder Weapons: aviator scarf, ham bone
Room 9: GMackey-theantiAIRBHG Murder Weapons: Sam Jackson beer mug, broken bartender tipjar
Room 10: NWICY-cstrunk Murder Weapons: multi-post attack, poison ivy
Room 11: Rulzzz-Bawbie Murder Weapons: cement filled 2-liter bottle of pop, ban hammer
Room 12: VeloClone-Cooler Murder Weapons: penny farthing wheel (I said FARTHING), ice cooler
Room 13: CyclonesrGr8-dirtyninety Murder Weapons: motorcycle handlebar, Mark Ruffalo's Oscar
Room 14: dtISU, jsmith86 Murder Weapons: old-man fist shake, Mace Windu's purple lightsaber
Room 15: Bu4ISU, cycloneG Murder Weapons: bloody boat shoe, blaster (Han shot first)
Basement: CloneFan4-McTallerton Murder Weapons: terrible music, ceiling fan blade
Outside treehouse: WDSM-CyArob Murder Weapons: heavy telescope, constant nagging about RTT

And the rules:


1st Round
1. Players exchange their weapons or can decide to keep their own weapons (if no choice is made) only from two adjacent rooms (PM me your pick by 9pm tomorrow). First come, first serve.
2. Order of new weapons selected gets randomized and first 11 become the murder weapons.
3. Once the 11 murder weapons have been disclosed, everyone gets to guess who the murderers are associated with those weapons.
4. Players guess murderers (PM me who you suspect to be the 11 murderers): correct answers worth 2points, incorrect (or non-response) -1 points, bonus: if you correctly guess your roomate as one of the murderers, 1 point.
5. Once I tally the total scores, the bottom 11 players will be the murdered victims and become the first ghosts for the next round.


2nd Round
1. This round is all about one-on-one battles. The ghosts/spirits can align to any of the survivors remaining (you would PM me your pick on who you would like to back). I would then PM you individually how many ghost backers you have (are you confident that you have more than your rival).
2. List of survivors is randomized and the first person on the list gets first crack at attacking. Conversely, that person can just choose to defend (skip a turn) and they would be guaranteed two additional ghosts (their roommate - if still alive and myself).
3. When a player attacks another player, the winner is decided by who has the most backers (in the event of a tie, we go to first round scores for the tiebreaker). The losing player becomes a ghost for the winner and all other spirits backing the loser are now released to attach themselves to another survivor.
4. I'll provide a short story for every death in this round (and the 11 murders of the 1st round).
5. Last murderer standing is the winner of the first RTT Murder House game!


Hope it doesn't sound too complicated, but let me know if you have any question about the rules.

QFMS.

Lame.

I don't remember getting a thread shut down but at least I'll be remembered. I just couldn't keep up with you guys. I didn't want to spend that much time on here. I don't know what this game is, but it sounds interesting. I'm assuming it's too late to join.

My apologies. That was Cubs, not you.

I'm getting your PM's. If I don't reply, your choice is fine. I'll let you know if there is a conflict.

So in this game instead of voting to kill KCClone I can just go kill her instead? Sounds awesome. I knew I should have kept up with the thread.

You can attack her, but if she has more spirits/ghosts backing her up, you'll be on the wrong end of that murder and your ghostly self becomes hers.

Best watch yourself, son. I think KC has some serious backing. (Not that she needs it)


Team KC. "Anybody doesn't want to get killed had best get on out the back.."

Not exactly sure.
GTO, checking. So the first 11 get knocked off randomly? Or do we have to vote or attack or something like that?

And....I like pineapple, can I keep my weapon but steal Pants' and just eat it. It will be in the freezer if it's frozen and easy to access.

Once everyone is done picking weapons tonight, I'll randomize the list of weapons and the top 11 become the murder weapons. Then you will have 24 hours to decide who are the murderers to currently own those weapons. Correct guesses get 2 points, incorrect get -1 point, and an extra bonus point if the correct guess happens to be your roommate. To make it a little easier, you already know that the weapons could have only moved within the two adjacent rooms.

so if your own weapon was picked, you may not know what weapon you currently have, is that correct?

If your own weapon was picked, you can still select one from the adjacent rooms (in your case, Room 2 or the Outside Treehouse). If you don't pick one at all, then I randomly assign one to you from those rooms and let you know which one you got.

So I guess that answers my question about which room(s) the tree house looks over.
