Hello all, and welcome to a Magic Kingdom Murder Mystery game! This was a classic Teen Board game back in the day and I want to try to bring it back. Here are the rules:
1. Roleplaying. You will be playing a Disney character of your choice. So as not to confuse people, you would have to have your character's name, in front of everything you say or do.
2. There are 3 roles to play. Murderer, Detective, and Park Guest. When we get enough players, Ill choose who the murderers are. My original choice can decline if they want, and if they do, Ill choose someone else. The murderers decides who will be killed. They have to wait, until I tell them they can though. When they choose, they will tell me who, then Ill tell the person they want to murder through PM. The murderers can decide how the person can be killed. This game will be in Magic Kingdom, so use the attractions as you wish. If a detective PMs me and makes an arrest, then if you are the murderer have to confess and the game will end. (Also, if it isn't 100% clear, if you are a murderer or detective DON'T tell anyone who you are! The defeats the whole purpose of the game and ruins everything.)
I will also choose 2 detectives who will be the ones to solve the crimes. They will work together and will decide between each other who to arrest. You can only make one arrest for each time period between the murders. If you make a false arrest, the other members can choose whether or not they can stay as detectives. If the majority chooses to have new detectives, then they can vote for replacement detectives, which might put the murderer into power. If this happens, then the game is over. Detectives will have to PM me before making an arrest, telling me who it is. If they are wrong, I will tell them so, announce on the thread that an accusation was made and was incorrect. When mentioning the detectives falsely accused someone, I will not mention who. If the murderer kills off the detectives, then they have won, and the game is over.
Park guests are what keep the game going. Detectives and the murderers both count as park guests. You all act as your chosen character, and do whatever you want around the park. Park guests get to choose whether the detectives need replacing, and can choose the new ones. Since nobody knows who the detectives are, you can't suggest to them who you think it is, but you can make your own accusations on the thread, depending on the clues. But be careful, if you accuse the murderer, they might get mad and you could be their next victim...
The story line is that all these Disney characters have been invited to Magic Kingdom for a celebration for all of their hard work. Something goes wrong and the characters are trapped in MK until the murderers are captured or all the detectives are killed.
3. If you get murdered, you can't post as your character anymore, but you can still post on the thread out of character. You are NOT allowed to post as Ghost of *character name* once you have died. I may ask characters to post as ghosts far into the game, to give hints to the characters who are still alive. It is highly unlikely I will have to do that, but if it comes to the point, I will.
4. Whenever someone is murdered, there will be a small clue that will point to the murderer. It would be something pretty vague, such as blonde hair, or a piece of blue fabric. Over time, the clues will narrow down to a few people. Don't rule out a character, if they don't have a part of the clue. So, if there was cat fur, don't rule out Alice because she isn't a cat, because she owns a pet cat. The clues may also be rather difficult to interpret. That's the POINT. So, all ideas of the clues could possibly mean, are welcome. The murderers will also be posting, trying to throw you off. You wont know they are the murderers, so you'll have to be careful on who you listen to
5. I will play the part of the park management, who will update everyone on the goings on around the park. When the murderers murder someone, I will make the post telling everybody. When the detectives accuse somebody, I will make the post saying so, I wont say who they accused though.
6. Make sure that you have an empty PM box, just in case I pick you for the murderer or detective, if you get murdered, or falsely accused. PMs stack up quickly, so please, make sure your PM box is empty or close to empty. Also, I expect the murderers and detectives to reply to my PMs, just so I know they understand what exactly is going on. They also need to send me PMs so they can keep up with their plans.
7. Have fun!
So, if you'd like to play, comment which character you would like to play as! First come first serve. Sign-ups will end Tuesday, August 5th at 7:00 pm EST and the game will begin immediately afterwards.
If you have any questions, please ask. Please don't ask me to be a Murderer or a Detective, I'm going to pick at random to make everything fair.
If you still don't understand, once again, ask. Or read up on some old Murder Mysteries!
