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.

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: 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.
