Mat he/him Posted December 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 2 minutes ago, Ookla the Resolute said: This is already the largest SE game I've ever played I'm sure mat is struggling already The first game I played had 31 Poor Joe. 16 is great. I've run larger games. My struggle is my own fault Actually, most of the two hours was spent prepping docs and formatting how GM PMs will look, so it's not a problem. The rands can be reranded quickly enough. But if you're planning on signing up, sooner rather than later is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat he/him Posted December 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 MR67: Cycle One: Let the (Convention) Game Begin! It was horrible. A crowd of people, circling the body like it was meant for amusement. Nervous gasps and chatters echoed through the large hall, with mingling sobs mixed in. Mat pushed his way through. He'd heard vaguely who'd been murdered, and wanted to confirm his fears. Supposedly it had been an exhibitor, an author, and he was worried he knew exactly who. When he made it to the front of the crowd, his heard sank. The dead woman on the floor before him had a piece of paper taped to her chest. A... death note. A writeup. It read: Elandera was killed. She was a Reasonable SEr! Let the game begin. The people around Mat were confused at the meaning of the note. But he knew. Oh, he knew. He stole a glance backwards to where the rest of the SErs were gathered, still circled up. This convention was not going to be what he thought it was. Elandera, he thought, sending a prayer up above. Guide us in these times. We're going to need it. Meanwhile, across the convention, another game was beginning. "See the attached Convention Game rules" the happy, oblivious intercom announced. "and may the best player win!" * * * Cycle One has begun! It will end in about 48 hours, on Wednesday, December 13th, at 3pm PST. Things to note: Please read the Convention Game clarifications at the bottom of this post, and feel free to ask any questions in your GM PM, at the risk of being PAFOd. There will be an execution today, with no vote minimum and RNGd ties. When voting, please also vote using a non-Ookla name if possible. Our IM is @Elandera, may she rest in peace (and with ability to assist when necessary). Contact her with any concerns! If you didn't receive your GM PM for whatever reason, contact me ASAP. Remember to submit any actions, if applicable! Convention Game Clarifications: Spoiler By completing your task, you earn a point. When you've completed your task, please tell me in your GM PM and cite where if possible. By guessing your opponent, you earn a point and your opponent cannot gain a point by completing their task. You get one GM PM guess. By guessing the two players that make up another group, you earn a point. When guessing groups, you can only name a player once each. "Being the first" to complete your task refers specifically to you versus your opponent. If someone else randomly meets the requirements of your task, it doesn't matter. Your opponent is of the same order as you, and one of you is corrupted. This corruption is flavor only. You have a similar (if not identical) task to your opponent. Other groups may or may not have similar tasks to yours. With 16 players, there are eight groups of two and zero groups of three. No groups are repeated. Balance is not guaranteed. Think of it as a mini meaningless BT Hopefully that makes sense. If not, PM me and I'll see what I can explain lol Player List: Spoiler @Ookla of Ravens / TheRavenHasLanded @Ookla the Raveness / The Wandering Wizard - Wizzy @Ookla the Bald / The Known Novel - Shane Huge (jock/bully/audiobook listener) @Ookla the Paradigm / Archer @Winnie the Pookla / Araris Valerian @Ookla the Resolute / Aeoryi @Ookla thePresentParticiple / Ravenclawjedi42 @WildKarrde / Kasim (Shot Araris in the face a long long time ago) - (@Kasimir) @JNV @Devotary of Spontaneity - Lena @TheOokla929 / Alpha/Labyrinth - that one guy with a 2 year old named Kaladin @Coffeecat / Silberfarben @neil the beguiled @Amanuensis @Ashbringer @Ookla the Rich / Cash67 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
