Murder in MireClan [signups & ooc]

STATUS — OPEN!

My recent discovery of the game Among Us has rekindled my inspiration and like for murder mystery games and roleplays! Therefore, I’m reviving and redoing my old "Murder in MeadowClan" thread [link]! The original inspiration was from Murder in WinkClan, a thread by @Mousy [link]! Most of the info is directly copied and pasted from that thread!

This is the signup & ooc thread. The roleplay thread can be found [here].

________

A current resident of MireClan is slowly killing its inhabitants. Every day, more and more cats are disappearing, being killed. Deciding to take action, the cats vote out members of the clan, one by one. However, will it be enough to stop the threat and find the killer? Or will they slowly diminish to nothing and will the killer win?

________

This is basically a murder mystery game with some RPing involved.

Rules

• Nobody is allowed to reveal their role to anyone, as this defeats the purpose of the game!
• If you have been killed, you can't vote due to being in Starclan!
• You cannot "reserve" a cat. First come, first served for spots in the round!
• You cannot join mid-round
• Be respectful to all players
• You may only have one cat per round
• Please, do not ask the game leader to make you the killer. The killer is picked randomly using a random number generator!

________

The game starts when 9 (or more, but it has to be an odd number) cats join the game. The Game Leader is then decided by which name is next in the queue, and he/she PMs the player roles out to the participating members. These roles include:

The Murderer

This player is the target of all the other players. During each round, before the Voting Stage, the Killer Cat PMs their target to the game leader. Despite this, the Killer Cat still votes during the voting stage. It's highly recommended (and warned) that this cat should and probably will try to remain anonymous in the group and act natural so that they don’t reveal their role.

The Guard

The guard cat's role is to protect a certain cat. At any point in the round, the Guard cat can PM the Game Leader the cat he/she wants to protect. The protected cat is protected from the Killer cat's attacks. However, if the Guard cat doesn't PM the round leader before the Killer does, it's effects are null.

The Witnesses

There are two witnesses. These cats act like the citizen cat and don't have an ability they can use to protect/kill another member, but witnessed a key event or has a key fact that points to the identity of the killer. They aren't allowed to reveal their role nor their hint, but may accuse anycat as much as they want, and convince others to do the same.

The Pair

These cats are very close, and are almost always together. If one cat in the pairing dies, or is exiled, the other will die as well or leave. There will be one pair.

Citizens

These cats are completely regular. At least 60% of the players fall into this category. These players don't do anything except for during the Voting Stage, when they post their vote in the thread on who they think the Killer cat is. This cat can be any rank.

________

Start Of The Round

The Guard Cat has until the Killer Cat sends in their PM to decide who to protect. Roleplaying begins; no one has been killed yet.

The Kill

The Game Leader writes a theatrical version of the kill and posts it in the thread after they receive the PM from the Killer Cat. Whether or not there are any hints in the text pointing towards the killer is completely up to the writer; the text is mostly made to be enjoyed.

Voting Stage

All cats post who they think the killer is in the thread. The killer also posts in the thread but tries to draw attention to some cat else by voting for another cat.

Banishment

The cat with the most votes is banished from the round. The Game Leader also writes a theatrical version for this.

After the round ends and we start all over again until the Killer is finally caught.

________

These are the three ways the game can end!

• The Killer is voted off. [The Clan Wins!]
• The Killer is left alone with a witness. [The Clan Loses!]
• The Killer successfully kills all the other members.[The Clan Loses!]
