Murderers in ThunderClan V.7

[montmorency]

-- FAQ

A current resident of ThunderClan is slowly killing its inhabitants.
Every day, more and more cats are disappearing, being killed.
Deciding to take action, the cats vote out members of the clan, one
by one. However, will it be enough to stop the threat and find the
killer? Or will they slowly diminish to nothing and will the killer win?
Join the clan in this action packed game full of thrills and frights!
Where luck and sometimes your wits are all you need!

RULES
-- Nobody is allowed to reveal their role to anyone, as this kills the purpose of the game!
-- Please don't role-play between kills.
-- If you have been killed, you can't vote due to being in Starclan!
-- You can't "reserve" a cat. First come, first serve for spots in the round!
-- You have three warnings. After your third one is issued, you are banned from MiT.
-- Do not spam, double post, mini-mod, or anything in that matter.
-- Use common sense please, I will add more rules if needed.
-- Be respectful to all players and moderators.
-- Please, do not ask the game leader to make you the killer. The killer is picked randomly, by surprise.
-- If a mod gives you permission to take control of the round, you may. If not, please don't.
-- If you join, please remember that the point of the game is partly to roleplay. Join with the intention of participating.

STAFF RULES

-- Must be active
-- Please have good grammar skills
-- Warn players before handing out strikes. If they continue to break rules then you may hand out a strike

HOW ROUNDS WORK
:: Start Of The Round ::
The Guard Cat has until the Killer Cat sends in his PM to decide who to protect.

:: The Kill ::
The Game Leader writes a theatrical version of the kill and posts it in the thread after he receives the PM from the Killer Cat. Whether or not there are any hints in the text pointing towards the killer is completely up to the writer; the text is mostly made to be enjoyed.

:: Voting Stage ::
All cats post who they think the killer is in the thread. The killer also posts in the thread but tries to draw attention to some cat else by voting for another cat.

:: Banishment ::
The cat with the most votes is banished from the round. The Game Leader also writes a theatrical version for this.

After the round ends and we start all over again till the Killer is finally caught.

These are the three ways the game can end!

-- The Killer is voted off. [The Clan Wins!!]
-- The Killer is left alone with a witness. [The Clan Wins!!]
-- The Killer successfully kills all the other members.[The Clan Loses!]

ROLES
The game starts when 9 (or more, but it has to be an odd number) cats join the game. The Game Leader is then decided first come, first serve, and they PM the player roles out to the participating members after they close applications. These roles include:

:: The Murderer ::
This player is the target of all the other players. During each round, before the Voting Stage, the Killer Cat PMs their target to the game leader. Despite this, the Killer Cat still votes during the voting stage. It's recommended (and warned) that this cat should and probably will try to remain anonymous in the group and act natural.

:: The Guard ::
The guard cat's role is to protect a certain cat. At any point in the round, the Guard cat can PM the Game Leader the cat he/she wants to protect. The protected cat is protected from the Killer cat's attacks. However, if the Guard cat doesn't PM the round leader before the Killer does, it's effects are null.

:: The Witnesses ::
There are two witness cats. These cats act like the citizen cat and don't have an ability they can use to protect/kill another member, but witnessed a key event or has a key fact that points to the identity of the killer. They aren't allowed to reveal their role nor their hint, but may accuse any cat as much as they want, and convince others to do the same.

:: Mates / Best Friends / Siblings ::
These cats are very close, and are almost always together. If one cat in the pairing dies, or is exiled, the other will leave the clan. There will be two pairs of these.

:: Warrior Cats ::
These cats are completely regular. At least 60% of the players fall into this category. These players don't do anything except for during the Voting Stage, when they post their vote in the thread on who they think the Killer cat is. This cat can be a kit, apprentice, warrior, or elder.

FAQ
If you have a question that is not on here, feel free to ask me or one of the other moderators.

Does the guard die if they save a cat?
No, as simple as that. The guard still lives but no one should know who the guard is.


______ was about to be killed, but then a mysterious cat swoops in to save them. The murderer runs off before one of them can see their face.


May I please reserve host for next round?
No you may not. There is the possibility that you may not be on at the time of a new round, and we would like to keep things running as quickly as possible.

Can I make two cats?
No, you can make one cat and only one cat. Lets say you had two cats and one of them was the murderer, if you voted for your own cat then people would know.

Is hosting first come first serve?
Yes and no. A mod will usually look to see who posted first, and if they are capable of hosting the round. If they aren't capable, the mod will move to the next person who asked, and so on and so forth.

May I please reserve a spot for the next round?
No, you may only post forums after a host has been chosen. Getting into the round is first come first serve.

How long does one round take?
It can take anywhere from just a couple hours to never finishing. The average round takes at least a week, but may be longer or shorter depending on how many people are playing, along with the timezones people are in.

Can a kit be a murderer in this game?
Yes, simple as that.

What's the difference between MiT and MiR?
Murderers in Thunderclan is the standard thread for those just wanting to play a normal game. Murderers in Riverclan is mostly the same except for certain round setups and roles. Patrols are now added to the some rounds along with extra murderers and guards.

Can I play both at the same time?
Yes!
