Family Affairs
October 2, 1962- “You have been invited to join us for the multi week countdown to Halloween. We ask that you follow the guidelines and dress accordingly as this year the Mrs. has decided that in the spirit of Halloween we all dress as if attending a masquerade ball of old. While I know that this year has caused a few rifts within the family to say the least I hope that we all can come together to enjoy this time honored tradition.
Sincerely,
Edward Taylor”
This is the letter that was written and sent out by Mr. Taylor addressing his family and inviting them to the annual get together. Mr. Taylor, despite seeing the inherent risks in the event, was too stubborn to throw out the annual Halloween gathering and insisted that it would go off as smoothly as any year. You see, just weeks earlier he had cut his nephew, Laurence Adams, out of his will; shocking the boy who had up to that point depended entirely on his uncle's money for his lavish lifestyle. Following his outcry and descent into chaos the rest of the family quickly decided that to give the boy, rather than help and comfort, was the best option, leaving one Laurence Adams with a wish to get back at the family that had so promptly thrown him aside.
Roles:
Family: Wins if the family is able to find and eliminate those who are plotting against them
- Edward Taylor (Money Bags) - With near infinite amounts of money at your disposal due to your highly effective business you are able to control the way the conversation leans, that is, if people know who you are (Choose at any point to reveal who you are. Once you do your vote is worth three)
- Charlotte Taylor (Insomniac) - Charlotte Taylor may live in a life of luxury but that doesn’t stop her from worrying sick about the members of her family. She is constantly checking in on her family to make sure that they are sleeping well throughout the night (You are able to pick one person a night to watch over. You will see anyone who visited them throughout the night. You will not see anyone they happen to visit)
- Emily Hardburrow (Nurse) - Emily Hardburrow was hired by Mrs. Taylor to care for Mr. Taylor and his declining physical state despite his insistence that he was perfectly healthy. She had worked for the couple for four years and was at this point considered just another member of the family, coming along with the Taylor’s to any social or business gatherings. Her extensive schooling has allowed her to be able to save many people moments after incidents occur (Pick someone every night that you would like to protect. If they are attacked they will not be killed but will instead be notified that an attempt was put on their life and that they were saved. You will also know if your target was attacked. You are unable to heal yourself as, self cpr or other medical fixes are rather hard to do on oneself)
- Barnaby Wallace (Private Eye) - Barnaby Wallace is the brother of Charlotte Taylor. He is a renowned detective who has traveled the globe solving hundreds of the world's toughest cases. Much of his sister's worry is speculated to have come from his dangerous career path however, no one really knows for sure, they are simply happy that you had a break in your busy schedule to make the family gathering this year (You can pick one person a night to investigate. You will be able to find out if that person is guilty or innocent)
- William (Billy) Adams (War Vet) - Being a military veterain from World War II William Herbert has been through a lot. Those that were close to him in his squad called the once jolly man Billy before a tragic accident that left him as the lone survivor. He was shortly after medically discharged with severe PTSD. He spends almost every night wondering if Germany has sent a spy to finish him off (Every night you can choose to load one of three bullets into your gun. If anyone visits you while you are loaded they will die. You are impossible to kill if you have loaded your gun)
- Hellen Adams (Chatty Aunt) - The sister of Edward Taylor and the wife of William Herbert loves to be the life of the party. She is so energetic and desperate to know what everyone is up to in fact that she is more than willing to drink a cup of coffee and talk to one of her annoyed relatives all night (You can pick one person a night to distract. That person will be unable to perform any nightly tasks. They will not know until the morning that they were unable to do their task)
- Rebecca Adams (Miniature Shadow) - Just like her mom Hellen Herbert, Rebecca is a very happy go lucky girl who will often do whatever she can to feel like she belongs with all the adults in the room. She can often be found a few steps away trying to mimic exactly what other members of the family are doing (Pick a person every night to shadow. By trying to imitate them you are able to narrow down the roles they could possibly be)
- Edna Taylor (Grandma) - The ancient matriarch of the Taylor family. In her old age much of her sight and mental abilities have left her as she has started believing that she can hear the voices of dead people connected to the family (You are able to commune with the dead. Once you yourself die you are able to commune with a single living member of your choice for one night. You can choose when to use this ability)
- Laurence Adams (Nephew) - Filled with immense rage after being pushed away by his family Laurence has vowed that he won’t stop until they have felt the same pain that he has now felt. He has sunk all the funds that he has left into making sure that none of his family gets out of this party without first paying for what they did to him (You are able to select one person to kill each night, if Vincent Alderman is still alive they will visit and kill that person, if not you will visit and kill. As long as Vincent Alderman is alive Barnaby Wallace will find you innocent)
- Mallory Tomblin (Girlfriend) - Laurence’s long time committed girlfriend has stuck with him despite all his losses however, instead of helping him work through the pain she has indulged in his delusion of revenge stating that his family “has always held him back”. She does however believe that if this plan is to happen it needs to happen right pushing him to hire well known contract killer Vincent Alderman to do the dirty work throughout the operation (You to “clean” three people upon them being killed at night. This means that when they are pronounced dead in the morning their role will not be visible to the general public but only to those on the plotting team)
- Vincent Alderman (Hired Gun) - Feared throughout New Orleans as a relentless gun for hire, once he gets paid he finishes the job. Vincent was approached by Laurence Adams a week before the invitation to the gathering was sent out. Promising to pay you 100k dollars up front and another 200k dollars after the “elimination” of his family Vincent quickly took the job hoping to be able to settle down after such a big payoff (Every night you will kill whoever Laurence Adams tells you to kill if he is alive. If he dies you are able to kill whoever you choose. During the voting phase you can lie about who you are voting for as I will only take the vote that you send me during the day phase)
- Pepper Roundhill (Activist) - No one really knows how Pepper found out or got into the Taylor’s party. The only thing truly known about her is that she is a large anti-capitalist extremist hoping to bring economic equality by taking down capitalist big wigs (At the beginning of the game you will be given a target that you will try to get lynched. If your target is killed overnight you will be assigned a new target. If you get your target lynched you have won and can help whatever team you want)
Rules:
- After the first day which will be 24 hours each night phase will be 24 hours and each day phase will be 48 hours
- Phases will end at 10:00 PM PST (I understand that this isn’t the best time for quite a few people but it’s what works with my schedule)
- The first day is an automatic no lynch as nobody has died and there is no reason to vote off anyone
- If someone is inactive for a complete day and night cycle they will either be replaced or killed at the discretion of the GM
- A tie in votes is a no lynch
- There will be no group chats outside of the general thread besides one for those on the plotting team
- If more people want to play than the above roles provide I am willing to make more roles
- Sign-ups will end on Friday September 25th at 10:00 PM PST
- Role revealing is completely and totally legal
- Please feel free to expand upon the lore of your character (I understand this isn’t necessarily an rping game but I find it fun to develop a character and would be more than happy to add to anyone’s character lore to the op after the game)
- Voting must be bolded and on its own line
- Do not under any circumstances edit a post
Extra Info:
Rebecca Adams will see roles as the following
- Activist, Private Eye, Insomniac or Girlfriend
- Money Bags, Nephew, Chatty Aunt or Grandma
- War Vet, Hired Gun or Nurse
Last Words:
I am very excited to be hosting this game of WW but am aware that this may not end up going perfectly as it is my first time running something like this so please if anything is unclear, you have some insight to make the game better or just want to say something please don't hesitate to send me a message on the forum or here. Thank you for this chance.
Sincerely,
