interest

[foxhounds]

Hello friends!

This is an interest post for people who might be interested in playing in a short term game (~a month) inspired by The Most Dangerous Game short story!

If you've never read the short story, you can read it here in full. It's quite short, so I recommend refreshing yourself even if you have! The basic idea is that characters will arrive on a deserted island and will be participating in a game of human hunting. The mechanics will take a similar form to Mafia games where characters will be pit against each other, though the mechanics and roles will be slightly different to account for the setting, so just take the Mafia-styling as being very general where the characters will ultimately be voting daily to execute one of their own.

The pace might shift depending on interest to account for a steady progression, but in general, I'm thinking a pace similar to dreamsland. If you're not familiar or just need a general refresher, the day period will take place over 2 ooc days, with the beginning of the day ic being one ooc day and the trial and voting portion/end of the day being another. Night will then take place over 2~3 ooc days.

This is neither a reserve nor is it a commitment! However, to figure out some mechanics, I want a general idea of how many characters we should be expecting. Doubles will be allowed (with first characters getting priority), and if there's a lot of interest, I'll likely cap around 40 characters since that's the amount I find feasible to run.

<b>Name:</b> <b>Plurk:</b> <b>Timezone:</b> <b>Likelihood:</b> How likely do you think it is you're going to be able to join in? Are there any specific timing issues that would be a dealbreaker? <b>Characters:</b> What characters would you be considering bringing? <b>Questions:</b> If you have them! Or leave me a funny picture, do what you want.

Game tentatively starting on August 7th.

Name: Jade
Plurk: blutundeisen
Timezone: EST (GMT -04)

Likelihood:Very likely! Due to my work schedule, I'd be most active in the late afternoon/evening. The only thing I would be hesitant of is if there are going to be a lot of "events" going up in the early morning (EST), and that timing works better for most of the interest, I'd likely back out.

Characters: Either Peko Pekoyama (this journal) or Hajime Hinata (hopefragment), both from Super Dangan Ronpa 2! Potentially Pyrrha Nikos from RWBY, but more likely Hinata or Peko. Whichever I decide, I would only be bringing one.

Questions:

[jyoshu]

Name: Shō
Plurk: kunihiro
Timezone: PDT

Likelihood: Medium-tentative! More than likely, I can manage it, but I'll make sure to double check what my course load should be so that I can be active enough if I come!

[hijiwanwan]

Name: Demu
Plurk: garibaldi
Timezone: Central Time (CT)

Likelihood: It's most likely! Fall semester is starting for me soon but I don't think my schedule will be that bad- I'll hopefully be able to juggle everything!

Questions:

[descriptive]

Name: Katy
Plurk: redteam
Timezone: MST

Likelihood: Super likely! That's it. I've got nothing.

Characters: Maybe jumping on the swords bandwagon and giving Shokudaikiri Mitsutada a spin.

Questions: i'm so cool nvm had to edit

[beliar]

Name: Holo
Plurk: hologramblue
Timezone: EST

Likelihood: Depends on the timing of the active periods. I work T/Th/F/Su, but from 10-6 EST on those days (12-4 on Sunday), and it's not a job where I can easily tag during downtime, so if the bulk of the activity will be taking place at those times and on any of those days, I can't attend. If the activity takes place in evening EST, I can, and if the game timing is forgiving of someone showing up mainly in the mornings and evenings, I can too.

tl;dr if most active after 6 EST, yes.

Characters: HFFF GOD ALL MY ADULT HUMANS ARE IN CANON REVIEW PURGATORY so let's see what I've got. There's Walter from SMTIV (this journal) (probably not going to happen), Frey from Rune Factory 4 (tillselegantly), DORUmon from Digimon X-Evolution (digitalorunknown), p...ossibly Kross from Rune Factory Frontier (scatteredflowers), even more possibly Mewtwo from Pokemon Special (psywaves). I have a lot of narrowing down to do.

Doru time.

Questions: yeehaw.

[overlord]

Name: Mandee.
Plurk: somagic
Timezone: Eastern.

Likelihood: Pretty likely, I think.

Characters: Dirk Strider from Homestuck or someone else, not sure who. I'm not in many fandoms these days so I would have to think on other potential characters.

Questions: Not really.

[pinetree]

Name: Auria
Plurk: AuriaTetsukai
Timezone: PST (GMT -8)

Likelihood: Fairly likely! I have a very open schedule this month. But I was serious about that Fern Gully twist. Please don't do that.

Characters: Mabel (hambone) or Megumi (deereintheheadlights), my murdergame staples. Only one, though.

Questions:

[judgebetterhalf]

Name: Aren
Plurk: ILikeBlackMage
Timezone:EST

Likelihood: Pretty good chance! Might be a little slow on weekdays between 10 and 5, but barring anything hectic coming up in RL, I should be fine!

Characters: Leaning towards Elphelt Valentine (Guilty Gear Xrd) or Stocking Anarchy (PSG)! Usually I drop Anna (Frozen) in these things, so I suppose she'll be on the table as well, though I'd like to try some fresh blood. Will only bring in one if I do decide to join!

Questions:

[unlikelyend]

Name: Luminitrium
Plurk: luminitrium
Timezone: EST

Likelihood: It's in August, so it'll be fine.

Characters: Cless Alvein from Tales of Phantasia or Sephiroth from Final Fantasy.

Questions: If you have them! Or leave me a funny picture, do what you want.

[ill_hearted_gentleman]

Name: AF
Plurk: hotandcoldaf
Timezone: EST

Likelihood: Pretty likely! My job has me working in the mornings some days and in the nights on others, so I'm not always on at the same times every day, but if posts (particularly trials) last long enough, I should be fine.

Characters: Mmmm, maybe Hector or Uther from Fire Emblem 7 or Bols from Akame ga Kill! depending on how I feel. Kind of leaning Bols right now, not sure I'd really be up to juggling two characters. :|a

Questions: Will the trials be up for longer than Dreamland's were? I wasn't in Dreamland, but I stalked it and there were a couple of trials I had to catch up on after the fact when I was working nights, so that's a concern for me.

[foxhounds]

To answer your question, yes! The trial portions are slotted to take a full OOC day, though I'll also say that if that pace ends up being too slow, then I'm likely to make adjustments to keep the pace steady overall. But for now, they're going to be longer!

[ossifragant]

Name: Nin
Plurk: kamex
Timezone: EST

Likelihood: Very likely!

Characters: Leaning heavily towards this guy (Greed from the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime)or Zolf J Kimbley from the same series. One or the other, though, not both.

Name: Duo
Plurk: duotastic
Timezone: EST

Name: Em
Plurk: slipperykitten
Timezone: EST

Likelihood: VERY LIKELY. Might not be very active the first week of September, but any other time is good.

[gardock]

Name: Ethan
Plurk: Gardock
Timezone: EST

Likelihood: Somewhat likely. I work afternoons and evenings most days, which are peak activity hours for most RPers I think, but I've managed in a smaller mafia game with allowances for getting to things late.

Characters: ...I have no idea! Maybe Garrus or Wrex from Mass Effect, someone from Danganronpa, just possibly Aigis from Persona... definitely only one, whatever decision I come to.
