Nothing Special
The newest Werewolf game begins now. Just to mix things up, I decided to start with just the story and let everyone introduce themselves first. The roles have been assigned, but no one knows them yet. I’m going to wait until everyone checks in and introduces themselves first (just in case someone drops) then I’ll PM all the roles and continue the story.
Here are the players that signed up (checked in players in bold):
DarthFerret
EricBess
Melkor
Ransac
Spiderman
Mooseman
Oversoul
Rokapoke
Modus Pwnens
Train
If I missed anyone or if someone wants to join now, just let me know.
When we start voting, I'm going to ask everyone to put the player they're voting for in the subject line of their post. That will make things a lot easier for me to go over and count all the votes.
I'm also not going to be using the "ghost council" rules. I don't like how it kind of makes some people inclined to force a tie just so the decision can be deferred away from them. In case of a tie, there will be a run-off between the top players receiving votes. If there is still a tie (or if there are no additional votes to be re-cast), I'm going to clear all the votes and have another vote. If that happens, no one can vote for the same player they just voted for.
If anyone has any questions, let me know. Have fun!
You awaken in total darkness, wondering where you are and how you came to be here. You think back, trying hard to dig up your most recent memories… You were on the ship, sent to colonize a new world. But something went wrong. Did something hit the ship? Or was there an attack? You remember an explosion. And running toward an escape vessel. Then nothing.
Emergency lights flicker on, as you hear moans and groans from the people around you. You are not alone. Eleven people managed to escape, but now you’re trapped here, in the dark of space, until a rescue ship can find you. That is, if a rescue ship can find you.
One of the men speaks up.
“Is everyone alright? I’ve managed to locate the emergency comm station. It’s not picking up any signals so we may be the only survivors. I’ve sent a rescue beacon, so hopefully someone will find us before we run out of supplies.”
He moves toward the vessel’s airlock and finds a window, covered by a radiation shield. He removes the shield, allowing you to look out into space. A planet is visible from the window, dark and foreboding. You can see debris from your wrecked ship floating around outside: a piece of the hull, some instrumentation, a broken chair. You also see a man’s body, deformed and lifeless from being sucked out into space. And you see something else that looks like a hand, but hairy and clawed, like an animal’s…
The man speaks up again as he replaces the shield.
“We seem to be orbiting an unknown planet. It doesn’t look hospitable, so let’s pray we maintain our orbit. In the meantime, it looks like we’re going to be here for awhile, so we may as well get to know each other.
“My name is Turgy22 and I’m a scientist. I’ve been monitoring passengers on these colonizing flights to study the ill-effects of long-distance space travel and ways to counter them. I guess that seems pretty trivial compared to the ill-effects of having your ship explode in the middle of the journey.”
