    i thought it was understood - and CDF posted - that everyone who needed sleep was going to sleep (i sent my orders but i did not think i was essential) and there was nothing else to do. that is probably the reason for the lull in discussion.

    I would quote myself but I'm too lazy. Basically I said the more discussion there is the less chance there is of a mishap.

    Also it's stated that a PM is required every Order Phase, so, 12 people were counted as inactive this round. It won't hurt them too bad, unless this is their second turn in a row... Tratorix, Splitpersonality, and Scottishranger...

    I am a compassionate fellow, so here is the write-up.

    Write-up 3

    Before retiring for the night David (Scottishranger) did his best work with the first aid on Dean (Tratorix), he was able to clean up his small scratches and help his bruises but his broken ribs and sprain wrist were the unforgiveable sin for not heading the tape recorders words of "caution".

    Dean had just woken up and so he was put on "conversationalist" with the other guards. Hoping to keep them awake and aware during their shifts.

    Lorraine (Captain Blackadder) suffered greatly from her giant gash in her back from the beast, but it was healing slowly. She will live.

    Other guards were Nicole (Beskar) who returned from the kitchen before they locked up the Foyer, Ronald (Splitpersonality), and David after he finished tending to the wounds of others.

    The night was peaceful, everyone got their sleep in, and ready for the morning ahead of them.

    Deaths: None
    Injuries: None
    Equipment: None gained
    Needing Sleep: Ronald (Splitpersonality) and David (Scottishranger)
    Needing Food: Daniel (Johnhughthom)

    Order Phase 4 will end at approximately 15:00 GMT on Sunday!

    To be fair there was little to discuss as most of us were sleeping.

    I'm happy to do what CDF tells me again this round

    Yes and I agree that you should, but I still need to receive a PM from everyone to ensure me that you are active.

    Is that too much to ask?

    Perhaps you should either extend the length of the phases, or only start them after the write-up has been posted. To be fair, there usually isn't a whole lot to talk about until we know exactly what happened during the last phase. I agree that there's really no reason for people not to send in orders, especially when all that was required this phase was a single sentence: "Sleep in the Foyer."

    I'm surprised no one was killed... did you originally have a different write-up planned?

    I meant to put that the phase ended on Sunday.

    And yes, I agree, now that you all have slept you can have stuff to talk about and actually make a plan to get out of the Mansion.

    And yes, I planned on killing off a few people but I realized that it was the safest plan for all of you to stay in the same room with guards and barred doors. So, you all survived.

    Next time there will be no mercy

    Alright. Hopefully this phases plan will get some discussion going. So far getting three groups working independently from each other and each accomplishing a goal seems to be working very well. I have a plan ready for this phase.

    The Storage room: Phase one we entered it and were repulsed due to a ghoul being there. If there is a guard there we can safely assume there is something important there. I plan on leading a crack team of commando's into the room and having a look around and taking whatever we need. As I expect pretty heavy resistance I will be taking some of the men with bigger weapons.


    The Kitchen: A group will head to the kitchen and get the rest of our food from here, and bring it back, they should have lighter weapons, but still all be armed.


    The Bedroom A: Something happened in Bedroom bathroom A. I want to know what. A group will head over there and thoroughly investigate every inch for secret tunnels. They should lock the door and bunker down there after clearing it out. Heavily armed and armored. Grab the key to the door as well.


    I can divide up items later, but unless you write in thread what you want from the weapon pile I will have to randomly assign it. Please be reasonable with weapon choice. Do not ask for a ton of stuff. Some weapons have already been taken, read through he thread.


    I personally will be taking the hammer.


    I can assign groups if you lot want, or you can volunteer.



    Also we need to see if one of the keys we have go to the lock box. also need to find what the other keys go to.

    And finally, the book's we found must be some kind of riddle..... must have a purpose. They can't all say the same thing for no reason.

    Nother theory coming your way...

    These ghouls can sense emotions. So to not get eaten, do NOT show aggression, and if you can help it don't show fear. These two they can sense above all. I think it's not the "Hey wtf is that" kind of fear, but the kind where you need a clean pair of pants, like when Blackadder was going to sneeze. So, in order for none of us to show any emotions, I suggest we all look for a copy of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within and take turns playing it.

    Its fine, just don't let it happen again. Not to sound cold, but if you go inactive and die it could take a lot of us with you.


    so what does everyone think?

    I think scottishranger is a pretty cool guy. Eh kisses blonde bombshells and doesn't afraid of anything.



    As for the game, I am really, really enjoying being a follower in this one, not a leader, for the sake of my sanity. I can see the appeal of sitting back and letting the game happen.

    I will do whatever you ask until I die. But, if I am alone with scottishranger I am going to giggity giggity him until he passes out.

    I can see why being a follower would appeal to you..... This is not as fun as I was hoping it would be. so much easier to just do my own thing.


    I will start assigning positions tomorrow if I don't get any volunteers.

    I was thinking, if we were to take a hammer to the pots and pans in the kitchen and some clothing from the bedroom closets we might be able to fasion out some armour like arm plates, sholder pads, leggings e.t.c. Dont expect any good armour but it might save us from some glancing blows.

    The book, from how I interpreted it, seemed to want us to kill a "rogue". Who out of us could be considered a rogue? White_eyes. I don't think we should do anything until we find more clues, but we should be wary of him now.

    As for the expeditions:

    You will need a balanced group of fighters for the Storeroom group, CDF. Take me with you, I've got this Staple Gun and can fight at range. Also, there is a chance that because of the nature of my weapon, I may be able to kill Hostiles before they are able to transform.

    And the Bedroom in question is Bedroom B, not A. We haven't explored A yet. Also, I have a feeling about the toilet in the Bathroom, due to how it was mentioned in the first write-up. The Bedroom group may want to check that out.

    it may not be bad idea to divide the whole group into 3 and ensure that one group is always sleeping.
    the remaining 2 groups can be further divided for explorations. that way we wont have the same situation as the last action phase. I get the feeling that going forward we may not be fortunate enough not to be attacked while we are sleeping.

    Well I want to start up an arts and crafts in the kitchen to make some armour and it might be a good idea to examine the corpse atheotes left outside to see if the wearghoul things have any weakspots. We might be able to take them down more easily if we know where to stab to pierce an internal organ.

    Greyblades if you are going to do that I am going to have to ask for you to give the Bowie knife to someone going to the storage room this round. You can tag along with the kitchen group and see if they will help you. You can have it back when we return, but I would feel a lot better about our group if we had the combat suitable weapons.


    As I am getting no volunteers I will assign groups in a hour or so.
