The Mansion [Concluded]

The Mansion

The sound of rustling heightens your senses...

You open your eyes to an overcoming blur. The sound of curiosity and mild panic in the air.
Attempting to stand, balance off, you grab a hold of an antique chair arm to keep yourself stable. The smell of old leather and years of used pipe tobacco fills the air...

Your eyes come into focus and you see your surroundings, the furnishings and interior style of a post-modern mansion, this being the foyer. You also realize that you are in the company of dozens of others, seemingly confused as well. You don't remember getting here. You don't know where here is or why you are here. But you are here.

A man from the center of the room held a tape recorder over his head and commanded silence. The rustle of confusion died down. The man pressed play... "Use caution, follow the beholder."

Questions filled the air, and the man who held the tape recorder knew absolutely nothing. But the tape recorder did say to follow him... Use caution, what's that supposed to mean?

You step forward and with a voice to cover all the rest, and you ask the right question, "So what now?"

Rules:
No screenshots from PM's will be allowed. All communication must take place in this thread. All players must participate and be active. Any player who fails to show any kind of activity for longer than 48 hours will be killed in-game.

Within reason, anything can happen in this game. There are almost boundless possibilities.

Guidelines:
The one and only point of this game is to find out what is going on, and react. The designated leader is to organize and lead the people, but the people are not forced to follow. This is your game, you do as you will.

IF the leader is killed, a new leader must be voted in.

Players do have responsiblities however, such as keeping yourself alive by putting food in your system and resting enough to stay sane. The details, will be covered in your Role PM.

Currently, you are locked in the Foyer, but the locks and bars are on your side, and may leave if you choose to. The front door of the Mansion, being incredibly large, cannot be opened.

The game will be played in 6 hour segments, each lasting 24 hours in real life. They will always end at 15:00 GMT. Please allow up to 24 hours for optimal write-ups.

You may travel anywhere in the Mansion per turn, because in all reality, that is realistic.

Descriptions

(The descriptions of rooms will be added as they are explored.)

Foyer - A rather large room with three exits, the front door leading out of the Mansion, which cannot be opened, and two doors leading out on either side. There are leather chairs and a couch, at most comfortably seating 8 people. There are also pictures of random landscape and knights up on the tall walls, as well as a few desks on either side with vases of fake flowers next to the doorways. The doors are large and wooden, locked with the key inside the lock, and bared from the inside. There are three cabinets directly ahead of the front door, behind the couch, seemingly made of iron and are locked. The flooring is tile, light brown in color. The smell is obvious of old leather and years of pipe tobacco use...

It is officially my second game to host by it is not related to the Battle Royale in any way. :bow:

-edit-

I have added in a new guideline:

and I also added the description of the Foyer.

Your second game? I wish I was this good when I started the cold war thing.

Yah, sure

Sign-ups are now closed! Role PM's and final game setup will take at most 24 hours.

Role PMs have been sent out!!! Discussion Phase 1 has begun and will end at...
Saturday at 1500 GMT

Cultured Drizzt fan is your leader.

Please discuss your plans, or lack-thereof. :bow:

Omigod Omigod Omigod Omigod... Omigahd!!!

Like what are we doing here and junk. I totally have nails to file and clothes to buy. I don't wanna be in this dusty ole mansion. It would be like super cool if one of you guys could get me out of here. Totally! This place is creepy and I'm sure it's crawling with bugs. I wish I still had my cell phone. I totally don't even have a credit card. I can't live without my credit cards.

Okay are you guys gonna be lame or are we gonna get the heck out of here and junk. Let's start talking! Trust me you don't want me to be the only one talking because I totally could for like hours and hours and hours. Like this one time me and my little toy dog Pupperoni were at the mall, and Jen was all like "lets go shopping at the Gap" and Tara was all like "the Gap, that is so last decade. Let's go to hot topic." And Brenda was all "let's get some Thai food" and I was like "ewww gross." But then Pupperoni got away and we chased him down but then I saw this guy who was like totally hawt and I went to talk to him but he was with this girl and that was totally lame so we went to mall security and it turns out my dog was running through Sears and dropping off little Christmas gifts everywhere, he was such a naughty dog, but it was like Sears so who cares, right? Am I right?

Why are you looking at me like that? And I'm totally gonna talk like this all game too, so you just KNOW I'll be the first to die. It's always the blonde girl. But maybe I'll totally be rescued by that guy from the mall as soon as he ditches that bimbo. Girl power!

Oh wow.

I had a whole motivational and socialist speech worked up, with me trashing the furniture and denouncing them as capitalists, and a rousing crowd swallowing up the remnants to create giant statues of myself. We had a glorious revolution, that spread from the basement to the balcony, but I guess not. Guess someone had to be a drama queen. We could have done something here, we could have had rights, we could have hit a home run on the ball and chain of oppression. We could have done lots. And now we can't. Hope you're happy, jerk.

Think before you talk :whip:
How much food does everyone have?
How much energy does everyone have?
What to do.

I say we head for the garden. No one ever dies outside in horror movies.

The Friday the 13th series would like a word with you.

I say we swing by the billard room to grab some defense, I own a pool/billard table and boy those pool balls are dangerous the cue's not so much, unless we break the tips to make some makeshift spears

All right, I'm gonna say it.


...


...


...


We should split up. :lipsrsealed2:

Alright everyone. We can get through this fine as long as we stay organized.

First of all, we need to be cautious. No huge groups outside the safe zone. I say we organize a small group to head to the kitchen to get food, And I have to say, I ma tempted to lead a group to head to the storage room. To see what is being stored there.

What does everyone think? :yes:


And Tratorix. :brood: No, just no.

I am going to do whatever...(I am not much of a team player in this case...:shrug:)

Need to lookout for number #1(Me, Myself and I)

Better watch out.....everyone can KILL, if they want...:sweatdrop:(I checked it with host)

So Askthepizzaguy may turn into ATPKiller at any time...or anyone for that matter:laugh4:

Oh.

Well in that case, I'll be dead quicker than Omerta II.

Thats your initiative. Although if you get in trouble don't bother asking for help.

But everyone else? any plans beyond the simple idea of get food and other stuff?

I need some volunteers to go to the kitchen and grab food. :sweatdrop:

or conversely, I will be leading a group to go investigate the storeroom. Any volunteers for that?

I'll go. I need to do something and I'd like to narrow down who my eventual murderers will be. So I can annoy them forever.

alright then. I will put you down for the kitchen group. Just bring back whatever food you can while staying safe. :yes:

Food foragers:
1. Atpg
2.
3.
4.

I think four people is more than reasonable enough.


Storage room:
1. CDF
2.
3.

just a little recon.


come on people step right up! The more we organize the more things we can accomplish!

Oh sweet, someone else is organizing. Awesome.

I have to, its my job. Makes me kind of wish you had won battle royale. :beam: no not really, this should be fun.

:whip: come on people. I your fearless leader shall lead you to freedom!


:idea2: now I know what I am forgetting. Do we have anyone with any items here? Any tough guys with weapons? Come on step forward! :yes: Or anyone with a particularly useful skill?

How about we don't announce our special abilities yet. :sweatdrop:

I agree with Beefy, I fancy a swim. Nothing like a swim for taking the tension out of a situation eh beefy?

Now i understand how you feel sometimes the company is a bit mean to the workers but you have to see it from the owners point of view sometimes conditions have to be lowered otherwise the company would go bust and we would all be out of work and no one wants that. Which is why I am suggesting that the workers take a wage freeze in return for a non binding resolution that there will be no job cuts at the company. Now the otherthing that needs to be explored is the bedrooms I for one am tired and need my sleep.

Exactly.

I say we split in three. I suggest the following
CDFs group, ATPGs group, Beefys swimming club :clown:

More serious.. lets split to those who wants to stay in group, and those who want to wonder around on their own.

I will ask for help....I just won't listen to you guys..:bounce:

Besides....I will tell you guys, if I find anything:juggle2:

But the fact that everyone can kill, is a little unsettling...:sweatdrop:

Allright I will go to the kitchen as well.

Anyone can do anything, it's an RPG PvE. :2thumbsup:

But it is obviously set by horror movies that those that work together usually survive longer than the rogues, although you have your exceptions... :juggle2:

I am going lone wolf here.....why are you trying to make us work together so much??:inquisitive: (anyone who watched Cube, or any SAW movies knows how that ends.....:skull:)

ill go to the storeroom with you boss


white eyes he is our leader as publicly announced

I think WE is just haunted by the prospect that eventually, he is helping us to kill him.

The lines of: We may need him now, but what happens when we don't?

:yes:

:clown:

I don't need to listen to him....and I don't plan too....:juggle2:

My guy is only out for number #1, so don't hold it against me:sweatdrop:(I wouldn't recommend trying to stop me either)

If I run across anything...I will tell you....that's it:beam:

Jeeesshhhh/ How in the world did I get here.

We got to work as a team guys. As a white male, Im at least assured to last a few rounds into the game.

i am willing to work together a a team... going to the store room or the kitchen works :bow:

Who will be leading the Foragers group?

Ok here is the plan people. Wew have one room safe right now, and that is the Foyer. I will lead a foraging group to the storage room to grab supplies we find there


Atpg will lead a group to the kitchen to get food and whatever else they find.
here are the objectives we need to keep in mind everyone.

1. Expand the safe area. If possible then lock all the doors and everything to a room that has been thoroughly scouted. grab a key and head back here. Some rooms will have locks and bars, so if we are lucky we can expand the safe area to include rooms with stuff we actually need. IE kitchen.

2. Secure a food supply and gather other items of interest.

I am doing my job as organizer people, if you don't want to listen to me fine. I am not sure I like where whiteyes is going though. :inquisitive:

I would love it if everyone willing to work as a team player came forward so we can organize groups.

here is what I have so far......
Death is Yonder
Askthepizzaguy
Captain Blackadder
Centurion
Atheotes
scottishranger


all willing to work with the group to get food and supplies.

I am not sure what beefy is doing, but I am going to put him under pool party. As well as elite ferret

if whiteyes want to go lone wolf then fine, more power to him.

I am not going to force you people to work together. But anyone who wants to help out would be very appreciated. :sweatdrop:


Here is what I would like to see for groups.


Storage room: 3 people
1. CDF, Leader of foraging expedition
2. Centurion
3. Atheotes


Kitchen: 4 people
1. Askthepizzaguy, Leader
2. Captain Blackadder
3. Death is Yonder
4. scottishranger



Atpg your job is to if possible secure all exits and doors in the kicthen and create a second safe area around the food. If that is not possible grab anything of use and head back to the foyer. Look for keys, anything to lock the doors with. But scout the area before hand of course. That ok with you?


Me and my group will just take a peek in the storage room and see if anything useful is down there. Maybe swipe some stuff.





Thats is my plan. Other ideas or thoughts. And is anyone else willing to help get a third group going? I get most of you guys don't like the organization, but I am just trying to help out.

Well people I'm going to make the most of this short break, this is the most interesting thing that has happened in my entire life. I'm a silvering applicator, a job so boring I actually have no idea what it is. This place has a Billiards Room, not a snooker room or a pool room, a Billiards Room. How cool is that? I'm going up there for a game, anybody fancy joining me, winner eats the loser's liver.... I mean, gets the losers food?

Perhaps the kitchen team should leave 2 of its men to secure hallway A and make sure the Kitchen team has a safe retreat route.

:yes: I will leave Atpg to hammer out the details of the kitchen group, but that is a good Idea.


A VERY GOOD Idea. Centurion, I would love to have you watch me and atheotes backs by staying in hallway D. I am not going to lie, the storage room is a risk, and is a long way form the safe room. but I think it could pay off.


Come on inactives step forward and help the group out! :shame: please? :sweatdrop:

Just to clear things up, this discussion phase ends tomorrow at 1500 GMT and then more discussion is allowed for 24 hours while order pms are being sent. This long first round is to insure all players are active and/or answer any and all questions.

Maybe we should check to see if there is any way of getting out of the mansion? The doors were reenforced but maybe there's a window we can use.

Woahh, whoever designed this house had a seriously sick mind. You can't go to a bathroom without going through a bedroom first, crazy. I mean what if you are sleeping over on the sofa and need to pee in the middle of the night? You are going to have to go into somebodies bedroom, imagine the problems that could cause. Man, the guy must have been crazy. Watch out, there could be any sort of sick traps in here.


Umm, nobody for that game of billiards?

Put me down for the kitchen.

I'm willing to go to either the storage room or the billiard room.

Sure thing.

Alright Pizza, it is up to you to organize your Kitchen detail group. You have 4 people under your command.

Atheotes, Centurion, you both ready? Any ideas from either of you?


Double A I would be happy to have you with me, unless you are going to the billiards game.

Sure, fine!

Also is there a barroom?

alright four people for the Storage room seems excellent. :yes:

I'll see if I can get out the front door shall I?

ahh I thought I already responded to your comment earlier. :sweatdrop: Greyblades I think it is a long shot, but it might be worth the chance. If you want to get a few guys and start checking windows that would be great. :yes: But for now we need to secure some more concrete things, like bathrooms, and food. :sweatdrop:

OK then gamemaster Zain, in the event Tratorix is not the serial killer attempting to lure me to my death, you are going to need to come up with a way to determine who wins the game of billiards. Might I suggest Tratorix and I send in a Rock, Paper or Scissors command with our orders to determine the winner? That ok with you Tratorix?

Ok then I think I should get anyone not on forage duty trying to break down the front door, it might not work but at least it'll keep people occupied and not going psycho killer on us on first turn.

Alright. Here that people anyone who is not willing to help us find food or other supplies (or is playing Billiards, or is in the pool.... Or is Whiteyes) should help Greyblades have a go at the door. :yes:

All have to chip in an all that. :yes:

It's not that selfish to go off and play games in the middle of a crisis, we'll at least have a look and see if anything useful is under the table, won't we Tratorix?:clown:

It would only probably work if all of us had a go.

DON'T TRY IT! Have you ever watched the Saw movies?

20 imaginary bucks says that turning the doorknob sets off a shotgun to blast anyone in front of the door.

As for me:

I'm not gonna be sitting around doing nothing. I'll go to the Kitchen with ATPG's team, we need food. And, by the way, who put the self-proclaimed dumb blonde in charge of that group? :clown:
