I kinda want to try something new. So I've decided that this round of Code Geass game will be my last. Does anyone want to take over for me and become the new narrator?
Instead I've begun designing a new game: The Danganronpa Game.
I'm pretty confident about most of the basic rules, but I'm not sure about the rooms and the Monokuma Files... And therefore I would like some help to finish making the rules :D
These are the rules as they are right now:
The 15 players will become students at Hopes Peak Academy. The only way to win this game is to kill one of the other students and get away with it.
Movement:
All players start within their own room. You can move from one room to another twice a day. Once at 9 am and once at 9 pm GMT.
To move, you must send me a PM to me at least 1 hour before the specified time (8 am or 8 pm GMT), telling me which room you’d like to go to.
You must move at least once a day in order to not die from inactivity.
At 9 am and 9 pm GMT, I will announce everyone’s new location, using a map.
Hint: You can announce this in this thread, tell it to others in a PM, or you can keep it a secret.
Floors
When the game begins everyone start within their own personal room on floor 1. After each Class trial, a new floor will be unlocked, and all players must move to the next floor!
First Floor
Special rooms on this floor:
- Personal rooms: Can only be entered by owner or if owner is in the room.
- Kitchen: Contains knives that can be used as murder weapon
- Nurses office: Contains poison that can be used as murder weapon
Second Floor
Comming soon :P
Killing:
In order to kill someone, you must be in the same room as them with a murder weapon.
To kill someone, you must send me a PM at least 1 hour before “movement time” (8 am or 8 pm GMT), providing me with a Monokuma File
The Monokuma File must contain at least:
- Name of Victim
- Time of death
- Location
- Cause of death
Only 1 murder can take place at a time, if more people try to kill someone, it will be randomly chosen which of these are successful.
If you kill someone while there are other people in the room, they will become witnesses and recieve a PM from me.
Class Trials:
Once 3 people are in the same room as the dead body, the class trial will begin.
From this moment on, and all players have 24 hours to vote on who they think is the culprit.
If they don’t get it right, the culprit will win the game and everyone else is executed.
If they get it right, the culprit will be executed and the game will go on. A new floor will be presented and everyone will be forced to move to this floor!
Additional rules
- You may claim anything you want, but you can't use PM's as evidence!
- Those who are dead must not help the other players.
Specific questions that I would like some help with:
- Should the murder weapons have some kind of durration like 1 day or something?
- Should the murderer even need a murder weapon, or should I drop this part entirely?
I quess this game is more like dungeon and dragons than anything else :P Maybe I should look for some inspiration in those rules..
So if you wanna kill someone you must sent their name? Or just that you wanna kill the person who is also in your room?
If there are more people in the room while you kill someone, will they know you're the killer, or would the murder just fail?
And about your questions
Hmm, maybe drop the thing that you need a weapon, otherwise some chickens may stay in the safe rooms all the time.
Hmm maybe a new floor each day is a bit much. If every floor has 10 rooms you have 50 rooms on day 5. Maybe just 1 new room each day?
So if you wanna kill someone you must sent their name? Or just that you wanna kill the person who is also in your room?
Because you have to be the only 2 people in the room, it doesn't really make sense that you'd have to send their names (Because I would allready know)...
If there are more people in the room while you kill someone, will they know you're the killer, or would the murder just fail?
As it is right now, there can not be other people in the room. But nice thinking! Maybe I should allow witnesses O.o
Hmm, maybe drop the thing that you need a weapon, otherwise some chickens may stay in the safe rooms all the time.
Well, you can only stay in the same room for max 1 day at a time.. But "dropping" things might be a cool idea to spice things up a bit.
Hmm maybe a new floor each day is a bit much. If every floor has 10 rooms you have 50 rooms on day 5. Maybe just 1 new room each day?
It would actually make the most sense if the number of floors/rooms decrease for each murder, because there would be less players left in the game.
I think, instead of opening up for a new floor after each execution, I'll make everyone move to the next floor! Then people can only use their personal rooms in the first round.
"If you don't get it right the culprit will win and the game will end"
The games will be really short then because everyone just guesses with no logic.
Perhaps.. If that happens, I'll just have to make it simpler for the players to quess the right culprit (Which will probably make it more difficult for players to kill eachother in the first place)
