Starter Post - Fall 2015

[All characters wake up alone from their latest sleep, or maybe from something a little deeper than that, or maybe just from a particularly spaced out moment. They're in one of the five bedrooms of an unfamiliar house with a piece of lined notebook paper in hand on which the house map is drawn on one side and the following typed on the other:]


Just so you know, you're not alone and one of you is a murderer. You might not want to focus too much on the method to find the murderer.

It's not like there won't be any clues. But it won't be finger prints or a weapon. Nothing useful as that. That wouldn't be fun. You're not a forensic scientist. The clue will make about as much sense as how you got here does.


But the killer will be weird, compulsively, couldn't be normal if they tried. That's because murderers are freaks. Today is Friday; on Saturdays, everyone should get together and write a name on the bulletin board out there. If more than half the people here agree on someone, that someone will go home. Yay. Once they're sent everybody will go home! Everyone who's still alive, anyway.

By the way, you, I borrowed your notebook. Hope that you don't mind. I needed paper for all their notes; try not to scare them too much when they see you. Hope they are not speciesist.

[The bedroom the character wakes up in is player's-choice. They will be alone in there; even if other characters wake up in the same room, it will be at another time.

Also in each room is a computer turned on with an intranet forum loaded up. There's a register button that requires filling in a user name and making up a password. In the user name field your character's full name is entered, but they can change that and register under another name if they like.

Once registered, characters will have an e-mail address and can exchange e-mails on the intranet.

The internet doesn't work if the character tries to go to an outside site. Intranet only. Same for any cell phone they may have on them; no service.

Despite the computer being set up and the website loaded on the computer in the Master Bedroom, it will not post or register from there as there is no connectivity in that room. The character will have to find another computer to register and browse.

Each computer has a microphone and a web cam for audio or video input as well as serving as a digital camera that can be unhooked from the computer and charged by USB. The forums will take audio and video posts or replies as well as text posts. Images can be uploaded to the intranet freely.


Do not respond to this post. Make your own posts of characters posting, wandering about doing things, etc. in this community. If they leave something behind, take something or change something, note it in the setting post. Thanks!]
