Day 4
Today, ICly, it is June 30th. This day will stretch from the 5th to the 8th as per our 3:1 time ratio. The weather is sunny and warm.
The IC post is there for new characters to introduce themselves, for characters to react to announcements, or morning shenanigans with roommates. You can find that post here.
This IC Friday, characters will be playing hangman!
Of course, this is a heavily modified version of hangman. It is not an optional event; you cannot skip out unless you, the mun, have a very solid reason not to, such as a trigger. Don't worry about explaining yourself if you do need to sit out; just say you are. We understand! However, if you are simply unavailable during the three days this event will be taking place, your character will be grouped with a few NPCs. You won't be able to play it out in order to not hold up other players.
Onto how the actual game is played:
It is played in groups of four or five; another post assigning groups will be put up on the day of.
One character is the 'hangman'. The 'hangman' is blindfolded with their hands tied behind their back and a noose around their neck. They stand on a wooden platform that lowers a sixth of the way to the ground with every wrong guess; this distance is relative to the character's height and no matter how tall or short they are, the fifth wrong letter will have them on the tips of their toes. One more wrong letter and they'll be dangling.
The rest of the team is meant to guess letters to complete a word. Every correct letter will show up on the panels behind the hangman. Just like regular hangman, if you guess E and there are two Es in the word, both E slots will be filled out. Guessing a letter that is not part of the word results in the platform lowering, as detailed above. When you have a good idea of what the word is, you have the option of guessing the full word! Getting it wrong will result in the hangman dangling from their rope no matter how high the platform is.
The dangling is done slowly, so as to not break the neck.
Characters will not be allowed to approach the hangman. If your character gets within ten feet of the hangman, their collar will automatically administer enough sedative to knock out someone twice their size. They will almost instantly collapse and will be taken away for a punishment of their player's choice.
Just as the hangman is about to pass out, the rope will suddenly be cut, saving them from death. That means for this event only, no one will die and thus no one will know anyone comes back to life until Monday's event, where death CAN happen. After they have been cut, other characters are free to approach them.
A mod will reply to every guessed letter (if you shout a letter randomly, it will count, so watch out!) and the hangman will then have the option of replying to that comment.
The words will not be known OOCly or ICly by anyone but the mods.
Now, onto something else: the sign-ups.
Please comment here with the below form if you're interested in your character being a hangman. Only one character per mun, please; the first four characters to be offered will be chosen.
