Then be like Dash and start spamming so he isn’t first.

[Tragic-Magic]

Ok then.

But I’m not online all the time

[CodeMore6]

Neither is Dash.

Just try to be active as much as you can.

[TotallyNotDash]

That isn’t cheating

@Tragic-Magic

But I’m not online all the time

Same Here. I won’t be online as much once school starts.

[Tragic-Magic]

@TotallyNotDash

Oh ok.

Nitro be mine then lol

[TotallyNotDash]

@Tragic-Magic

Nitro be mine then lol

Don’t be so certain. Things happen. Musk could spawn the creep when you’re offline the most.

[Tragic-Magic]

He doesn’t know when I’m offline the most

[TotallyNotDash]

When you’re:

[TheCannonCart]

How do you know when Tragic is sleeping though

[TotallyNotDash]

I know that he lives in EST iirc.

[Tragic-Magic]

Here’s a Tier List

[BlackBOY]

._.XD

also, hello another creep and starting later

[Tragic-Magic]

@TotallyNotDash

I know that he lives in EST iirc.

Oh yeah? What is it?

[TotallyNotDash]

What? You live in the EST timezone. Also, Djaq is a fierce competitor as well.

[PawpsicleSticks]

The first main post.

@PawpsicleSticks

You wake up in an unfamiliar bed, with no recollection of prior events. After getting out of bed, you leave your room and enter a bleach white hallway with papers scattered over the floor. You can hardly understand them, but you manage to piece together that you and some others have been abducted and memory wiped to test how you interact based on personality traits alone- and to see which combination of them will last the longest. You walk through another hallway, and into a main room with 7 others.

(Future games may or may not include an introduction such as this)

I’m glad I dropped that, since no one really RPed with it and it took way too much effort.

Prototype Lab: Beta was when things started to come together.

@PawpsicleSticks

The last survivor, full of emotions, finally made it out of the vents. He was forced to kill to get this far, he wasn’t giving up now. Pushing himself up off his knees, he bolted for the door. Nearly there… he could smell freedom.
He opened the door, and was met by a large glass window. Outside was a view of Saturn and its moons. He turned around, only to find the door had sealed behind him.

“Congratulations, subject #146. For your success in the last trial, we have awarded you a new holding chamber. Please await further tests.”

This is when I first added the invite flavor text you see in scenario rounds!

@PawpsicleSticks

Feel free to chat and get settled in while I finish adding people.

(Also, while I’m still just using the intro for flavor and not going to bring it back up again, I’m going to edit the intro messages this time for a personal touch)

David - The subject sighs, and gets up out of bed.
Dash - A spirited mechanic greets him in the hall and introduces himself.
Lovely and Umar - Two more subjects are chatting near an open door.
Lance - A tall android is handing out bags of chips. The flavors are exotic.
Rino - Inside the main room, a buff-looking man is bench pressing a vending machine.
Djaq - A portly droid is fussing with the man, waving around a plunger. No one else seems to know where he got it from.

I used to remove people from the chat when they died, too. The early dead chats were pretty boring.

Round 1 had 12 people, which is on-par with round 11’s 14.

@discobot roll 1d12

Going back a step, Psychotic is actually a fusion of two old traits- Brutal and Psychopathic.

@PawpsicleSticks

Brutal - Brutal people can injure someone between each trial. Limit 3 injuries. Injuring someone who is already injure has a 50% chance of killing them, determined by a discobot roll (1d2)

@PawpsicleSticks

Psychopathic: Once at the start, and then whenever there has been over 8 hours since the last reply in the main chat (not including the game master), Psychopaths can kill someone. Psychopaths are also able to kill after every third trial, and cannot win with others.

Bitter is the inversion of an old trait, instead of a fusion.

@PawpsicleSticks

Emotional - Those who are emotional can make an attack each time a trial finds someone guilty. Limit 2 attacks.

Eesh, I’m glad I changed that. There were a few other mechanics I’m glad I ditched…

@PawpsicleSticks

Benevolent: Benevolent people may heal an injured person after every third trial. If they are also obsessive, erratic, or brutal, they may instead attack a living person and roughly stitch them back together, killing them after the next trial. The death announcement will include the cause.

@PawpsicleSticks

Injured people can’t create new PMs, but can still receive and reply to them. They are also unable to kill or injure others.

Blech.

And then there’s the ancient, pre-prototype round stuff.

@PawpsicleSticks

Superhuman - Superhumans can survive being attacked once. After being attacked, they can attack one person.

@PawpsicleSticks

My bucket’o’ideas:
Abilities: can identify everyone with a specific trait, main kill role (kill cripples?), defense roles, more detective roles, role that allows a win with two other people instead of one?

@PawpsicleSticks

@PawpsicleSticks

kill cripples?

I should mention that “cripples” is a placeholder name, the game isn’t actually going to be this demonic.

(The precursor to “injured” status)

@PawpsicleSticks

I want to do something special to celebrate the anniversary and me entering the torturous inconsistent-name-cycle again. I’ve been working on a game to run in the background of the others like Ruby’s and Kayla’s, and maybe some of you would like to help me with it?
I know I bit off more than I could chew with the Forum Kingdoms one, but this time all I’ll need to do is put up trials, add/remove people from PMs when they die, manage a few abilities, and handle the ending. No managing the currency nightmare, sending daily PMs, advancing a time cycle, randomizing roles, or constantly sending PMs to over a dozen people.

To give you the premise, it’s like the other Among Us inspired games, but the main gimmick is that everyone chooses two personality traits at the start which give them abilities, and there’s no time cycle or points system limiting when/if you can do things. It’s made to require as little management as possible, which in turn means much more freedom. There’s also no default “good” and “evil”, it’s a free-for-all where you get to pick whether to be aggressive or passive or whatever.

The post that started it all.

And that’s about all I have.

[TotallyNotDash]

Wow, that was a long time ago.

[PawpsicleSticks]

May 10th was the first post, about 3 months ago.

[TotallyNotDash]

Wow. I thought it was later than that.

[TheCannonCart]

Where did you post that last post? I would have loved to be a part of the prototype

[PawpsicleSticks]

So if it’s been ~3 months, and we finished 11 official rounds and 2 experimental ones, then we could finish 52 rounds a year.

That is… a lot of updates I’m going to have to come up with with.
