Ideas for Murder

Alright we have six witnesses and six detectives. Are we waiting for more people or shall we start soon?

We will need to ask the witnesses to contact me or Patan, or even better, come here so that we can post alittle on what they can do. Detectives will have to wait till the witnesses are ready to RP.

Witnesses have been instructed in forum and via mail to write to you. Let me know if they do not contact you.

Olivia Carter - F
Mrs Barclay - F
Jonathan Downie - M
Phillip Hoskins - M
Alan Campbell - M
Jason Hopkins - M

=====================================================
This post is to do a dice roll to determine who will get which role. We have 6 excellent volunteers to help with this game and I'm very thankful! Their genders fit the RP too so thank god we don't need someone to cross dress *winks playfully *

1st Dice Roll - To decide the Female Cast
Llyres - 1,2,3 (shall decide her as Olivia Carter, if 4,5,6, she'll act as Mrs Barclay)
Chandrea - 4,5,6 (shall decide her as Olivia Carter, if 1,2,3, she'll act as Mrs Barclay)

2nd Dice Roll - To decide the Male Cast (12 sided Dice)
Rninja88 - 1,2,3 (Jonathan Downie), 4,5,6 (Phillip Hoskins), 7,8,9 (Alan Campbell), 10,11,12 (Jason Hopkins)

Joesephus - 1,2,3 (Phillip Hoskins), 4,5,6 (Alan Campbell), 7,8,9 (Jason Hopkins), 10,11,12 (Jonathan Downie)

Masterluis - 1,2,3 (Alan Campbell), 4,5,6 (Jason Hopkins), 7,8,9 (Jonathan Downie), 10,11,12 (Phillip Hoskins)

Ploate - 1,2,3 (Jason Hopkins), 4,5,6 (Jonathan Downie), 7,8,9 (Phillip Hoskins), 10,11,12 (Alan Campbell)

The member 'FateofDreams' has done the following action : Roll the dice

#1 Result :


--------------------------------

#2 '12' : 10

The Roles are Out! I'll mail each of you individually (Via In-Game Mail) about your roles. But I'll post a "General" expectation for everyone to judge how a witness should RP. The only restriction I have for witnesses is, "Do not give false evidence!" How and why you give the evidences is up to you.

=====================================================

Roles:

Olivia Carter (Wife): Chandrea
Mrs Barclay (Neighbor): Llyres
Jonathan Downie (Regular Customer 1): Joesephus
Phillip Hoskins (Regular Customer 2): Masterluis
Alan Campbell (Best Friend of Deceased): Ploate
Jason Hopkins (Rival in Business) : Rninja88

=====================================================

Each of you will receive something like this

Initial Approach Evidence: XXXXX ............

The above is the general idea and feeling of being approached by a detective.

Bribe/Smooth Talk/Persuade Evidence: XXXXXXX..........

After the detectives start to bribe you with a drink, or smooth talk or persuade you (All can be RP), you are to post the above additional evidence. If the detective left you alone, you can choose not to divulge the information.



Generally, Witnesses have the free power to do what they like with the information they have, but they must not give false evidence.

Seems I have stuffed up somewhere. In order to fix this mess.

first thread: ooc murder which will include the rules and the witness list and any other occ game chatter

Second thread: rp: Murder game ~ the game it's self

Jannie is unable to travel due to study ingame.

Three options:

One she does her rp'ing for clues in Somerset hall

Two: Rosselle offered to travel with her so they could work on the clues together. Now Jannie cannot travel but if she is willing to have Rosselle godmod her a little they can be a dectective team through mail contact. Rosselle could send what she learns in a letter to be placed in Chard hall for Jannie - Jannie can rp her response there and send a letter back with her thoughts.

Three: Or we ask the lovely Llyres if she could swap with Jannie.

Thoughts?

*smiles and curtsies*

sorry to be such a pain everyone,

i like option 2, but option 3 maybe the easiest for everyone concerned, if llyres is able and willing to swap?

and thank you Bones for trying to sort out my inability to read

Option 2 is the best in my opinion. She'll still be involved during the accusation

Besides, non-detectives are allowed to have their fun at the ooc thread with their own version of how the murder took place.

I've received the confirmation of the witnesses. Things are set to go. For every 3 days I'll mail the mayors to place a clue in their tavern. The clues are kinda obvious so the game shouldn't last more then 15 days.

I will post the two threads later today once things with Jannie are sorted.

OCC: Conference for me on the 31 Aug and I will be back 4 September - head into retreat the 30 August. Hoping the game is finnished before I leave but if not never mind I can just read it later.

Chief Bones asked for my input on Jannie's situation...I am willing to take whichever role is best for all though in truth I wasn't thinking of travel at this time (i'd have to wait til next harvest to start) as for my detective abilities ... (umm Colonel Mustard in the broom closet again?).

If I stay a witness perhaps I could travel to Chard for a day (if option 2 is agreed on), so Jannie can get me drunk...I mean so she can interview Mrs. Barclay. Maybe I'll bring a few cats with me....

Well, I think what is most important, as witnesses, is to let the detectives know where they can find you. If you post in the Murder! Thread about where you'll be visiting, they can plan to "catch" you in town. Communication is the key

Oh, the Murder! Begins 21st August, that's tomorrow. ; Good luck people hehehe

Scene of crime

Called to Tobias Carter’s Trinket Shop after a report of a murder, you first take a look around outside. You note that the nearest neighbor must live in the house opposite. Then you pause to look in the shop window, noticing the various small items of jewellery and household ornaments on display. Finally, you open the door and enter, unsure what you shall find within.

You walk inside and look around. The shop is a mess, with some of the items lying around on the floor. You can see the evidence of a struggle at the counter and, nearby, an overturned table.

Two constables are standing in the shop and, as they move aside to let you pass, you see a man lying sprawled on the floor, and his arms outspread helplessly ... dead!

On talking to the constables, you hear their report. The murdered man is the proprietor, Tobias Carter. It seems the shopkeeper may have been taking an inventory of his stock, as he still holds the list of the goods in his hand. The constables have checked this list against the goods remaining in the shop and assure you that nothing is missing.

The constables report that they have checked around and Mr Carter seems to have been married, and a quiet business man that kept to himself most of the time. He may have had a dream of getting rich, like all common men, but it seems he had no known bad habits.

However, you know you will need to gather more information and to interview anyone you think might know something that could lead you to identifying the murderer.


Obviously, you will have to interview Mr Carter’s wife, Olivia. Although a grieving widow, she may have information that could help with your case.

Also, you think that perhaps the neighbor in the house opposite, Mrs Barclay, might perhaps have noticed something at the time of the murder. You should probably ask her about it.

Asking the constables a few more pertinent questions, you ascertain the names of a few other people that it might be worth interviewing. The constables have checked Mr Carter’s books and have identified a couple of regular customers, and you resolve to talk to them in case they might know something useful. They are Jonathan Downie and Philip Hoskins.

It seems that Mr Carter had a particular best friend, Alan Campbell, who might also have some useful insights into the case.

And the constables tell you of a rival jeweler and trinket shop – you certainly should talk to Jason Hopkins.

Now...you must use your skills of detection to unmask the murderer of Tobias Carter.

Will post the other thread I intend to use once I have access to the forum again. Comments please? Anyone got a better picture?

*laughs* that pic is classic It looks...MS-stylish, but I had a good laugh

seems fine to me, but then it is 4am, tbh everythg looks fine at this time of night

Haha James - yeah the picture was a classic hope you like the new one

This is the intended post for the ooc thread, comments please.

Giving a polite nod, James moves to the detectives Rossellee and Jannie. "Miladies, we'll need all the help we can get. The only rules so far is for the accusation to be RPish, with at least 3 evidences on hand and a clear description of how the murder was performed. Teams, alliances, information gathering, spies...all are allowed. But there will only be one winner...So a team will have to decide who will post the accusation.

Have fun and let the ooc chatter begin!

Though to be fair - Why can't a team win?

Rosselle and Jannie are now a happy team

the picture is a bit mm..modern...you dont exactky get asphalt roads, white chalk and yellow tape in 1457...otherwise nice..

*giggles* Nah you don't. If you can find me a better picture before tomorrow please do so. Everything I looked at was well ummmm to icky for the forum. The animals would go blood hungry, mainly for mine if I posted one of those.

Plus - unless the story has been changed, as the murder scene appears to have been rewritten - the presence of the blood in the picture may well suggest a clue, which may or may not be correct.

Yeah,he was shot in the Foot then in the heart,i would say a .45 APC

Could be...! Keep going Luja, you might win the game - don't forget to add who dunnit...!

ummm isnt OOC things like this disallowed in the Inns

Wait I am confused - what has been rewritten? I took the murder scene from this thread it is just a copy of what James and you wrote. Or is there another scene I am suppose to be using?
