Needs a little more thought:
1) anyone who picks up a weapon will immediately be assumed to be the murderer
2) if the lights are off, the gndt is still tracking locations, so anyone who is moving around with the lights off will immediately be assumed to be the murderer

I like this. Presumably another rule would allow for secretly killing people; this one would allow for openly killing them, thus making the game work rather like Paranoia; you can kill people pretty easily but you’ll be taken out by the others unless you can justify yourself, so before the kill, you’ll have to convince enough people that the others are actually guilty. That’s a great mechanic to base a dynasty around. (Note that this proposal requires killing people to be GNDT-logged by the killer.) The only tweak I’d suggest is disarming people when they kill, so that other people can take revenge on them more easily.

My thoughts atleast on picking up. Be alone in a room and have Kev track whos got what by email? Just my thought.

Personally I think weapons should be relatively easy to come by, but obviously everyone will get suspicious if you pick one up.

That’s cool, but as ais said, I think there should be a rule allowing people to secretly kill someone else.

Perhaps that could be a skill that only the Murderer has - that they can sneak silently and ignore the “same Location” restriction, so long as they are alone in a room, or something.

Hm. So having a majority of the weapons makes you invulnerable so long as you don’t use them.

Assuming all weapons are unique one-of-a-kind items.

Did you miss this part of the Proposal, or was it edited after your comment, I wonder?

oops

I feel like this just makes the game a brawl in a mansion, not a murder mystery.  As funny as the movie Clue was, I don’t think we should be taking it as our model…

I don’t like the weapons mechanic—not only does it allow the person with the majority to be invulnerable, but if this is meant to be an method of openly killing, then it could use some work (this looks an awful lot like it’s trying to be sneaky, but failing).

Non-murderers shouldn’t be killing people.

CoV per Truman, alethiophile and NoI

While I still think it’s a cool rule for full blown Battle Royale, it’s true that it’s less fitting for a Werewolf-type game. Innocent people should have other things to do than spoil their innocence by killing someone.

Also, if someone kills the murderer… It’s true that it wouldn’t be game-ending (as talked about elsewhere), but it would throw the setting out the window. =P

CoV:  as per NoI and Roujo

Vigilante justice isn’t a totally off-color concept, but the weapons mechanic is a miss.

CoV, I think we’re moving in slightly different directions now.
