Eldritch
Rules: Stay alive, and kill the possessed player before time runs out!
Players sign-up by posting in the topic.
The game is split into 48 hour-long rounds (or 'Days'), alongside two teams - a team of humans, and a team of cultists/possessed player. The possessed player is randomized, and everyone else a normal human. All players have access to all of the abilities (save for 2), and start off with 100 HP. The cultists/possessed player to human ratio is 1:4 (approx.).
During each round, players may target each other with abilities to help/destroy the possessed player. You may only use one ability every round. Your cooldowns will be tracked in a private sheet. At the end of each round, a list of all players and their HP totals are posted to show who was damaged/healed (although it doesn't show who targeted who).
In order to eliminate the eldritch, humans players must use their skills to damage the (suspected) possessed player until their HEALTH hits zero (0) or less. Players PM their ability uses to the host. When the possessed player dies, the game immediately ends and the human team wins (with Master of Game points be directed towards those who dealt the killing blow/targeted the possessed player).The cultists know who the possessed player is at all times, but the possessed player does not know who the cultists are; they are a puppet for the cultists, assuming they do not want to win as part of the 'eldritch' team. Cultists however are strongly advised to not reveal their roles to their possessed target, in case the possessed target somehow passes their possession to another human and unveil the team.
More importantly, a possessed player cannot reveal if they are possessed or not, or else they will be modkilled.All communication is allowed. You may use any form of communication (PM, e-mail, chatrooms, the actual thread, etc.) as necessary to set up alliances and networks to track who the potential 'eldritch' is.
You cannot talk about this game if you have been killed/removed. You may not post screenshots of the host's personal messages to you either, nor send any personal messages via the use of blind carbon copies (BCC)!So to recap:
Humans win by eliminating the possessed player.
Cultists/the possessed player win by killing all other human players (excluding the possessed).
Master of Game points are only awarded to those who are still alive by the end of the game to the winning team.
