[Peasant Phill]

That and I said no rambo's .

Oh Stildawn, you can still join if you like. Just post your character.

[Double A]

I'm not Rambo, I'm Jack Churchill, who is significantly more awesome. Also, he has a longbow and claymore, not a M60. And I promise I won't be all "YAERG LET'S KILL THESE GUYS YEAH!!!!!!" because that's pretty freaking stupid.

Bob,

1 intelligence, 1 will to survive.

Bob, a busboy in a swanky restaurant and part time sneak thief found his ticket in the wallet of a man who had been having lunch in his place of employment. Despite it clearly being a foolish move, Bob decided to use the ticket. Quitting his job, he took the taxi intended for his walletless victim and hoped they wouldn't ask for a swipe of his credit card on check in...

[Methos]

Name: Sara
Intelligence: 1
Will to Survive: 1

She stood outside of the hotel and looked up in fascination. She'd grown up in a small town and though she'd always dreamed of leaving, she never had. She still worked as a waitress at the same restaurant that her dad had gotten her a job at when she was 15. She was currently 23. Her friends had all moved away and were finishing their degrees and getting started on their careers. Most of them she didn't even talk to anymore, as they were to busy.

She thought she had a good thing going with her previous boyfriend, but he just finished his degree as well and moved away. She had hoped he'd take her with her, but instead, he'd said his goodbye and never looked back. She realizes now she never loved him, just the idea that he'd take her away from the rut she seemed to be in.

When she got the invite to the Overwatch Hotel, she was ecstatic. She was unsure why she received it, but she just couldn't pass it down. For once, she had a way out of her life, even if it was only temporary. As she began to enter the hotel she reminded herself, that just like all those stories she'd read and movies she'd watched, there was no such thing as a free ride. She wondered though, what was the cost?

If I'm adding this up correctly, so far we have 9 intelligence, 8 will, and 5 physique between us.

And, assuming they're still intending to play, I believe we have slashandburn, Centurion1 and stildawn left to choose.

[slashandburn]

Name: Santiago Torres

Points:1 Physique
1 Intellect

Background: Santiago grew up in a small fishing village in cuba. For a long while he wanted to see the world, so when a traveler from a distant land dropped a walllet in a barroom brawl when he was celebrating his 21st birthday. He snatched it. Using the money he had recieved for his birthday he traveled to the hotel. Upon arriving and reading the sign(blessing the years of english study) he wondered, Why whould you name a hotel after a military tank tactic? Not bothering to dwell on it he stepped inside. When he got in he had an eerie feeling, like he was trapped...

[Peasant Phill]

Like Winston mentioned, stildawn and centurion1 haven't posted their character yet. I'll PM them and they'll get 48 hours. The game will begin even if they don't respond in time.

[autolycus]

If the same offer you gave to stildawn applies to me, I'm in.
Character: Samuel Garris
Stats: 1 physique, 1 will to survive
Roger Fitzhugh was an investment banker for Lehman Brothers. Then Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, and so did he. He left his family, changed his name to Samuel Garris, and got a job as the night shift manager at a hotel. He thought he'd successfully cut all ties to his past, so when he got a letter at work addressed to Roger Fitzhugh, he couldn't resist investigating.

[Stildawn]

Sorry got lost in the random posts.

Tim
Stats: 1 Physique, 1 Interlect
Tim is a normal dude... Plays lead in a heavy metal band and is therefore quite conditioned... Not huge but not weak... He also has some smarts.

[Joooray]

Like Winston mentioned, stildawn and centurion1 haven't posted their character yet. I'll PM them and they'll get 48 hours. The game will begin even if they don't respond in time.

Unfortunately cent is absent everywhere. Dunno if he'll be back soon.

[slashandburn]

Spelling intellect wrong should require you to change it to will to survive.

[Peasant Phill]

The original intent was 15 players. Even with Centurion1 there's still room so you're in.

If anyone else is interested, just post here and you'll be first replacement in case centurion1 doesn't show up in time.

[Stildawn]

Spelling intellect wrong should require you to change it to will to survive.

it was late when I wrote that, hence why its short and sorta random lol.

[Peasant Phill]

It's been over 48 hours. I've PMed Centurion1 and gotten a response. He just didn't make a character.

Split is busy writing the opening post of the game.

[Centurion1]

sorry he can have my character..... im getting caught up in choosing a university.

have a fun game yall.

[Yaropolk]

Juno Rococo died from ennui. Scratch me from the list.

[Secura]

Juno Rococo died from ennui.

A shame you're dropping out, but no worries. :3

[Peasant Phill]

apparently there is a problem with writing the opening post of this game. I guess I'll do it. Just don't expect high literature. I'll post it tomorrow.

[Peasant Phill]

Chapter 1: in which the guests gather in the ballroom; some unfortunate news is announced; and the first decisions must be made.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The guests congregated in the grand ballroom at the center of the hotel. A polite note, not unlike the hotel invitation, on the pillow of their beds requested them to join the others in the grand ballroom for further explanations. There were even directions on the flipside.

The atmosphere among the guests was somewhat uncomfortable. All but the most outgoing personalities would consider braking the ice in such a group of opposites, all with there own secrets and questions.
The hotel itself wasn't exactly soothing either. The eclectic decorations and strangely placed lights and chandeliers made ominous, ever-changing shadows. Some may even have noticed something irking at the edge of their vision, ever illusive when you try to focus on it.

Then there was the personnel. Overwatch didn't seem to have any except for the maître d’ who greeted every new arrival in the lobby. Sure, you caught glimpses of bell boys and what probably was the maid on your way to your room but these images were already fleeting like they were never real in the first place.

The silence was abruptly broken by the nasal voice of the maître d’: “In name of the staff of hotel Overwatch, I welcome you to our lovely establishment. I'm afraid I have some bad news. It would appear that the person who made the reservations gathered you all here for a specific reason. I'm not aware of all the details but it seems he wants to play a little game with you. Your benefactor, for lack of a better word, also stressed that he doesn't necessarily expect everyone to survive this game.
Well, I bid you all a pleasant evening. You can eat as much of the buffet as you like.”
His grave expression didn't alter once during his short speech.

First chapter. The game has finally begun for real. Skim over the rules again on the first page and put in your orders. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

[johnhughthom]

We post our orders in thread rather than via pms, right? If so:

Ask maitre d' "Right point me to the buffet, have you any cinammon danishes? More importantly, wheres the bar? Better be some good rum or I'm outta here."

[autolycus]

"Well, if the man, wants us to play, let's play! I'm taking one of those candles and going looking for trouble."

[Beskar]

Yuudai looks puzzled, and decides on a tactic.
"maitre d', what is your name? I want to write it down in my notebook for future reference."

After this, Yuudai decides to start looking for a exit. "You guys are free to join me, if you like."

[Seon]

Thomas simply smiles and, while he thinks nobody is looking, takes one of the sharper knives from the buffet table and hides it inside his pocket. If watching psycho movie marathon had taught him anything, it was to be paranoid then sorry.

Then he decided that he would look for clues on just what kind of game his "benefactor" was trying to play.

[Double A]

Not much time. Gotta look for Jurassic Park.

Split up gang, and search for clues.

[Stildawn]

Look for away out of here... Grab the sharpest knife from the buffet.

[Methos]

Sara sees several people grabbing knives from the buffet and starts to get a little nervous. After getting her meal from the buffet, she calmly slides a knife into her purse as she moves to a table to eat her meal. As she eats, she calmly and respectfully looks around the room trying to recall the faces of everyone there and the strange service staff.

[Winston Hughes]

Dr Weston sits in the corner chainsmoking, and occasionally drinking from a thermos flask, whilst reading a copy of Intelligent Life, the magazine for people who like other people to notice how clever they are.

[Reenk Roink]

"OK, if Chris Pronger isn't gonna get to bang any hookers then Chris Pronger will bash something and go looking for trouble. By the way Chris Pronger isn't gonna re-sign next year! "
