Sometime in the not too far distant future in one of those post-apocalyptic dystopian nightmares that seem to make everyone nervous and bloodthirsty
Thank you for joining us on Channel 57 where this year's show is looking to be the biggest and the best.
I'm Rick Rothman and I'll be your host on Wedlock, the show where criminals live and die for your entertainment. With me, as always, to provide updates is the lovely Linda, who will be running the scoreboard.
This year we have new rules, new gadgets and wrong-doers from all across the country all looking for a taste of freedom, or at least a bursary paid to their families should their team win, and the utter ignominy of failure and the execution of their families should they lose.
As always the main point of the show, two teams red and blue fighting for victory and around each man, woman and psychopath's neck, that special wedlock collar. Each collar containing just enough explosive to remove a head with at least a 5' scatter radius. And of course, each collar randomly linked to someone else in the camp.
So if one goes, they both go.
And now let's introduce you to this year's contestants....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Rules
1. The Day/Night Cycle
Day 1 and 2 will last for five days (120 hours), Day 3 and 4 will last for four days (96 hours) and subsequent Days will last for three days (72 hours). Each Night will last for 2 days (48 hours). All posts will be timestamped against the server clock. All votes must carried out BEFORE the deadline. Actions carried out on the deadline will not be accepted. Please note: Dawn/Dusk will be 16:00 GMT.
2. Posting
You may discuss strategy by Day but not by Night and you may not edit your posts.
3. Off-Board Communication
Is permitted via officially sanctioned methods only. For the record, no game-related private messaging among players is permitted.
4. Voting
You may vote to lynch another player by using the now familiar vote CatInASuit construction. To unvote a player, use vote CatInASuit.
Only one person can be lynched at end of Day. If two or more players have an equal number of votes, the first person to gain their votes, to the lynch limit, will be lynched.
5. Participation
There will be no hard and fast rules regarding participation, except this one: please participate.
6. Questions.
If you have a question about your role. PM the moderator.
If you have a question about the game, post it clearly in the thread in the now familiar green.
7. MHaye's statement of Gaming Intent.
Grudges held over from previous games are bad. Grudges warp your view of who has done scummy stuff for bad reasons. No one in this game is more or less likely to have come up with a scum role than any other. So don't go voting for anyone based on their past record
8. CatInASuit's Corollary.
Assume Nothing and Expect Everything.
9. Conventions
This game will contain certain amounts of gastardity, as in certain conventions are ignored or amended, not all of them, just some of them. See (8)
Looking for 24 players.
