These Dividing Lines - Part One

VLDR - Calm Before the Storm




[Game Rules]

1) Respect me and the other players. Please remember that this is just a game.

2) Role-playing is strongly encouraged but will not be enforced. Anything out of character or fourth wall breaking should go inside of brackets.

3) Roles exist in this game. Do not reference them in ways that break the fourth wall.

4) Do not go against your win condition. Exceptions may be granted for character reasons (meaning if you play the character over the role, I won't penalize you).

5) Only post during designated phases. I will tell you when you can and cannot post. Dead players may not post.

6) Do not talk about the game outside of game means. This applies for dead players as well. Dead players will have a dead chat to talk about game stuff in private.

7) Remember to have fun. If you aren't enjoying the game, please let me know. I'm always looking for ways to improve my games and hosting abilities.


[Host ISO]

CLICK ME FOR THE ISO


[Roles]

At the start of the game, all players will receive their Role Card. Some players will receive a Secret Faction Card as well. You must meet all Victory Conditions in order to win. You may not ever go against your Secret Faction Card should you have one, not even for character reasons.


[Spawning Phase]

No attacks are permitted during the first part of the game. I will inform you when attacks are allowed. This first part of the game will not be more than 2 days. Players may post as soon as they have submitted a name and character description.


[Attributes]

Code: Select all
Strength [STR]: Determines the power of your punches and how much you can lift.
Stealth [STL]: How sneaky you are and how capable you are at passing by unnoticed, stealing or planting items.
Constitution [CON]: How big of a build you have and how many hits you can take before you go down.
Willpower [WIL]: Affects how likely you are to die or only be unconscious when a fatal blow is dealt.
Accuracy [ACC]: How accurate you are. Is a strong factor in trying to stab or shoot other players.
Luck [LUC]: How lucky you are. A higher Luck stat means things of chance are more likely to go in your favour.

You may be adept or inept in some areas. Adept means the best of two rolls is taken. Inept means the worse of two rolls is taken.


[Activity]

Do not join this game if you will not be active. Between Mondays and Thursdays actions will only be processed between 5:00 and 11:00 PM EST. Weekend schedules will vary. This game will likely take a bit longer than usual because of this.

If you are inactive, I may act for you should the situation demand it. You may send me instructions for what to do in such an event at any time. I will try to play your character as you have been playing so far (meaning if you are avoiding conflict, you will run away if attacked, if you have been starting fights you will retaliate, etc). Do not complain about actions taken while you are inactive. Always remember that the alternative for if I take action for you would have been far worse than what actually happened.


[Inventory]

All players get 5 inventory slots plus a hidden slot. All items become visible on death or if you are searched while unconscious. Items that are part of a role do not count towards your limit. (You do not have more slots, but starting items are not counted if the player who started with them is holding them).


[Actions]

You may attempt any action you like. A D20 will be used to gauge success or failure in your actions. Creative actions are encouraged.
A roll of 20 is a guaranteed success for your action, and a roll of 1 is a guaranteed failure, unless a role's ability explicitly dictates otherwise.

All actions must be submitted via the bot's !add command. If you want help using the bot, before the game starts is the time to play with it and ask for help.


[Maps]

When you join, I will send you a link to a google spreadsheet. This will be your map. As you explore new areas, I will add them to your map.
I will also be adding room descriptions in the spreadsheet so you can reference them at your convenience.
You will have edit permissions for if you wish to make notes on the map or on other in-game events. Please do not change the room names or alter the map. Don't be that guy.


[Joining Procedure]

Post !join in your private channel in the Game Discord Server. Signups open at 8:00 PM EST on September 10th.

YOU MUST BE IN THE DISCORD SERVER IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO JOIN THE GAME!


[Lies and Deception]

I as the Game Host will lie to you during the course of the game to preserve the integrity of the lore, should the need demand it. I will never lie to you in your role card. The mechanics of this game are explicitly non-bastard in nature.

A group of 3 people enter the plane.

(If you've been given the OK, you can post)

Two more people enter the plane.


The first thing you notice is the luxurious decor.

The room is the seating area, with twelve seats that can only be described as beyond first class, split into 2 rows of 6 seats each. Each seat has plenty of leg room and a touchpad screen in front of it. All seats face the door to the Cockpit.

The carpeting is red velvet, and the walls have that freshly cleaned sheen to them.

Odd...

Good evening, I guess. I'm... not really sure what to do from here. I was just told to... get here.

There is also a door to the north and the south, both with an ID scanner next to them.

[Cyantic] goes to the cockpit door.

It doesn't open.

A voice is heard from the other side:

"Please be patient and await the arrival of your fellow Jurists. The tribunal will begin once all twelve of you arrive."

Well... sure. I'm being paid enough money to sit around for a bit.

[Cyantic] takes a window seat.

It's literally the most comfortable seat they've ever sat on in their life.


Ah ... the life of luxury ...

[Nelly] pets the carpet.

It's super soft and luxurious.

[Nelly] takes up a window seat across from [Cyantic].

It is dusk outside. There is a storm brewing on the horizon.

Nope! But none of the planes I've been on before have had velvet.

Ohh, whoa...what a beautiful storm.

Well then, this is much nicer than what I'm used to.

Mhm. I suspect that means we'll be leaving soon - pilots get antsy taking off in foul weather. And this one... I think there's a lot of money that'd go down the drain if the pilot got this puppy stuck in a ditch.

Not a fan of the finer things in life, mon amie? Then why did you come? Were you expecting a red letter to not come with the fixings?

A sixth person enters the plane.

I'm a simple man. But I don't mind money. I'm told I'm getting paid for this.

A trial on a luxury plane though? Pfft.

Yeah, I guess so. I doubt most of us cares much for... whatever corporate justice we're supposed to be arbitrating. I'm here for the paycheque only. Glitz can be - and is - lost to me. Can't be more than a five hour affair, at maximum. Well worth the price.

Clearing two things up:

1 - You are all here because you were selected to be part of a jury. You all know this.
2 - Jurists get paid by the trial organizers.

Well it is an international tribunal isn't it? The other option is a boat, and frankly I think that's much less safe.
