All actions will be turned in to me via PM, and all turns will be sent out via PM as well. I will do a new turn every day. You do not need to submit actions every turn, but if you miss 2 consecutive turns, then your character will "zone out" and no longer be aware of their surroundings (you can prevent this by sending anything, even something quick like "Stay alert"). Activity checks will be sent out between two weeks and a week prior to the game starting. Replying either in the thread or (preferably) by PM is acceptable.
Additional Information:
- All players get 3 actions and 1 movement per turn, in whichever order you want to use them. The actions can consist of anything you could do in real life: search the room, scan adjacent rooms, wield a weapon, kill someone, use various objects to setup a death trap, hide under a bed, start a fire, whatever. Your imagination and the confines of reality are the only limits here.
- Following Azrael's "Badass Rule", it is impossible to not carry out your actions to the extent you specify, if nothing is stopping it and the target is in the same room. However, thrown objects specifically targeting the head of a player in another room have a 5% chance to miss the head and hit the body. This does not apply to firearms or projectile weapons.
- Any player knocked unconscious by any means forfeits any remaining actions for that turn, and the following turn has one less action due to the first action being used to "revive". That means if you are KO'd in the first action of turn 22, and one action from 23.

- The movement is simply moving from one room to another. You also have the choice of sprinting, which will allow you to move 2 rooms instead of 1. If you choose to do this, you will not see anything in the room you pass through, and if your second movement is "east" and there ends up being a wall or a closed door there, you will run into it full speed and be knocked unconscious for 1 turn. Sprinting is not advisable unless you know where you're going and you need to get there fast.
- When you move without sprinting, you can turn light switches on/off in the room you're leaving or entering as part of your movement. It does not require an action. However, this only works if the light switch is beside the door you're exiting/entering from.
- Since you only get 3 actions and 1 movement per turn, you may want to optimize these actions via "if...then" conditions.
- For instance, you could say:
-I search the cabinet's drawers.
-If I find a weapon, then I wield it.
-If I find anything useful, then I take it.
-If I don't find anything, then I rip out one of the drawers and carry it.
-If I found a weapon or pulled the drawer out, then I kill Bob with it. - If there is just a gun in the drawer, then the 3 actions will be:
1) Searching the drawer.
2) Wielding the gun.
3) Shooting Bob in the head. - In this way, you can use "if...then" conditions to make sure you're using your 3 actions to their fullest potential.
- For instance, you could say:
Players that are reported dead are unable to post game-altering information in the thread. With any luck, a good killer will not allow situations in which the player he kills knows the killer's identity arise. In addition, any actions violating SEN's rules (such as sexually violating one's hand and/or another player) will cause instant death. You have been warned.
At the end of the game, I'll give a full description of everything that happened, and dole out mineral rewards for various achievements. If you desire, you may choose to send minerals to me before the game starts. You may specify that you are "gambling to win", or to have your minerals donated to the achievement pot. While donating to "win" gives you 3 minerals per 2 sent, minerals sent to the achievement pot will be matched by me and split proportionally into each achievement (so 100 donated = 200 split).
Also, if you're not sure of what items are in your inventory, or which are equipped, just contact me and I will respond as soon as I see it. Privately, of course. It won't cost an action, and certainly wouldn't hurt you.
Sign-ups are currently closed, as of: Saturday, March 5th @ 11:59:59(ish) AM Eastern. Bolded names indicate response to the activity check. Red indicates confirmed death, Blue indicates death by Host.
