as per sanity

It’s fine for the three of you; you can actually play the game.

Not fine for any players who die in the future. If you’ve got an idea for a solid mechanic to bring dead players back to life, while still keeping the game fun for everyone, propose it as a permanent rule.

Oh fine.  ‘Dead’ people come back to life all the time in murder-mysteries.

this is turning into a soap opera. they always come back

All I’m suggesting is that the dead among us get the chance to actually participate equally for a while.

The game has hardly started; it’s mostly just been prep. My reward for this construction is death, which presumably comes with a huge penalty.

Possible ideas for participation when this proposal fails:

-Flashbacks
-Ghosts

Another in-theme solution would be for players to come back as the suspicious relatives of those who were murdered; they pick a different job, and have their Degree of Relation bumped up by a thousand (meaning that they probably can’t win, unless everyone dies once).

The murderers’ goal would then just be to kill everyone else once, at which point they’d win immediately before an angry mob could form.

Although bringing players back in as full characters does risk dragging the game on. As a player, I’d probably prefer playing two or three short rounds of an elimination-style murder game (which gets progressively faster as players are killed off), over one long round where everyone stayed fully active.

i would vote for an idea, which would allowed dead people to come back generally. Ghosts would be a nice idea…

  because “funnest” is not a word.

Darth: Firefox says it is, WordWeb says it is, Wiktionary says it is, and the Miriam-Webster’s dictionary says it is.

Yes, because I actually trust any of those sources, despite them all being full of lies.

I think I’d trust the four of them collectively.

LIES! ALL LIES!!!

I think we should find other ways

per Kevan’s original comment

I’ve proposed a more permanent solution.

Self Kill per alethiophile’s more permanent solution.
Note I didn’t actually expect this to pass.

I’m fine with staying dead; I’m rather busy ATM.
