Evil Dead YARD Thread -- DO NOT ENTER (unless told to, then come on in) [Archive]

CrimsonFox

09-14-2011, 02:06 AM

You are in the yard of an old rustic cabin. Around you the woods go on endlessly. You can see a trail leading off through the trees. Nearby stands a shed, its open door creaking on its rusty hinges.

You can stay here and INVESTIGATE the YARD, hike through the WOODS, or enter the CABIN.

Around you you see echoes of the past, like movies playing out around you of others. It is eerie and they open in pockets in various places. You can hear their conversations, but the sound is very distorted. Are these ghosts? Or just images of the past.

That's funny, remember that TRAIL that was there before? Well, it ain't there no more. Like the woods just swallowed 'er up.

CrimsonFox

IMPORTANT! If my PM box gets clogged, email me at [email protected]. I will be monitoring that too.

Good:Most characters are good. You have traveled to a remote cabin in some dark woods for your own reasons, some are with friends, some are alone. All are unsuspecting.

Evil:Evil wins when they achieve a 1:1 ratio of good-evil.

Win Conditions:
Good wins when they eliminate all evil characters in the game.

Voting:Each day you will vote for a player. The format should be as normal: vote crimson Fox
To unvote a player and vote someone else:
unvote crimson fox
vote someoneelse

Deadline:
Day Action Deadline is 9 PM EST/6 PM PST
Night Deadline is 10 PM EST/7 PM PST
Lynch (End of Day Cycle):Ties equal no lynch. Nolynch is also a voting option.

Basic Game Rules:
1. No editing posts.
2. No discussing game with outside people. Check with me if you are confused about being out of the game before posting in other outside threads.
3. The deadites will eat you. Every bit of you, except maybe your blood. They like exploding that all over the walls.
4. Don't die.
5. Protect your blood. Make sure it stays inside you.
6. Conditional orders are allowed to make sure you don't perform an action on someone who has died so give multiple names just in case.
7. Do not direct quote anyone from PM or another thread. You may say things from the other thread but the source must be gone. NEVER direct quote a PM.

Unique things to this game:

Rooms:
There are a number of locations in this game. Each represented by a thread. You may only read a room/thread that you are in. You may not read a different thread unless you are told to. This thread is considered the YARD (and shed).

Descriptions:
Pay attention to room descriptions. They tell you where you can go and look.

Investigation:
Investigation acts like both moving and searching. It works like voting. You will be given options as to where you can investigate.
Format:
INVESTIGATE CLOSET
This will take you into the "closet" thread. You will also be told privately whether you find anything in the closet. Only one person will get the object if multiple people look there.
You may choose to INVESTIGATE a room you are already in and thus not move to another room but search for things.
INVESTIGATIONS are due by Lynch time.

Items:
There are objects in this game. You may find them by investigating an area. Once you have them, you may pass them or hold onto them. Other things may happen. To pass them, you PM me as a night action. Items may end up back in a room.

Items and Ability:You might not be able to use an item you find. There are two main types: weapons and spells. You will be told at the game's beginning which type you can use. (One or the other).

Results:
You will only know certain results when you see them, meaning are in the same room to see them. If someone dies and they aren't with you, you won't know what they are until you go to their location (but it will be obvious). If you find a dead someone in a room through investigation and they have an object, you can get their object.

Time:
Although we are still using day/night cycle, this all takes place in one night.

You come up to this isolated cabin and no one seems about except there are people with you. You didn't expect that. Who are they? What do they want? Hmmmm... You are not sure you like these creepy woods. And the cabin in front of you seems like less of a good idea now. You definitely feel you should vote for someone in this room today.

bhlloy

09-14-2011, 11:00 AM

My first instinct is it's never good in these kind of scenarios to go trekking through the woods, but I wonder if there's not some kind of risk/reward behind it for that reason.

The other interesting mechanic I see is that we aren't necessarily going to know who from the other rooms is still around and for that reason, the voting is going to be really fragmented and we could get into a situation where the biggest room wins by default if they consolidate their vote. Definitely challenging.

CrimsonFox

09-14-2011, 12:38 PM

You walk up to this secluded cabin and look around. The wind howls through the trees and it seems like every door creaks. Those trees sure are big. And there are others with you. Between the trees and these others you feel unsafe this far away from civilization. You decide to vote for one of them.

Not knowing any names, you call yourselves:

J23, bhlloy, and mckerney

CrimsonFox

09-14-2011, 12:59 PM

Rereading the rules is a good idea. I have made a couple minor alterations so just make yourself clear on things.

J23

09-14-2011, 03:28 PM

I'm thinking of either going into the shed to try to find an item or of heading into the cabin to meet up with more people since it seems splitting up in these kinds of situations never goes over too well.

J23

09-14-2011, 03:33 PM

Hey CF, can we vote for people not in our immediate area? Also, can we read the main thread in addition to this one or just this thread? I thought I remembered something from the original thread about it, but I didn't want to chance looking back at it to check.

CrimsonFox

09-14-2011, 03:39 PM

You see no one to vote for but the three of you here. There are trees nearby. And a shed. I suppose you could VOTE SHED and see what the shed thinks of that.

The main thread has nothing in it but the rules posted here and the signup list. But I've brought the rules and list over here so there's nothing over there you need to see except Barkeep being a smartass.

bhlloy

09-14-2011, 04:00 PM

Interesting mechanic. There are 17 players so I'm pretty confident there must be a bigger group than the 3 of us. So if we split our vote, you would have thought we would all make it through the day (at least if there is one person going down per day like a regular WW game)

Or to make it absolutely certain, we could try a nolynch. I wonder if other "rooms" are thinking the same thing.

I figure this will be most people's choice, and getting everyone in the same place early would seem to make for a more informed game. Plus the person going into the woods alone always gets killed.

Just for clarity's sake, I meant splitting up to go off into the woods alone isn't a good idea. It just seems the fastest way to die in these kinds of environments.

I'm ok w/ splitting the vote though.

You decide that despite being in a creepy secluded place and meeting 2 other creepy secluded people, they are cool enough hang out with in a yard. You decide you can all stay.

bhlloy and j23 step onto the porch and into the front room of the cabin. mckerney finds a trail through the woods and starts off.

[Do not switch threads until I tell you in PM. Until then you may continue to post here. I will send investigate results later. You may send night actions now. I have to run now so results for night will be late tonight (10 PM PST maybe)

The air goes quiet. A shudder on the side of the house bangs against the wood. From within you hear a tinny older voice of a man. You are able to make out the words although it is a little muffled.

 [SIZE=3][B][I][COLOR=darkred][FONT=&quot]This is Professor Raymond Knowby dept of Ancient History, log entry number 2. I believe I have made a significant find at Castle Kantok, having journeyed there with my wife Henrietta, my daughter Annie and Associate Professor Ed Getz. Noturum Demonta, The Book of the Dead. My wife and I brought the book to this cabin where I could study it undisturbed. It was here that I began the translation. The book speaks of spiritual prescence, a thing of evil that roams the forests in the dark bowers of man’s domain. It is through the recitation of these passages that this dark spirit is given license to possess the living. Included here are the phonetic pronunciations of those passages.[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]

You are overwhelmed and bowled over by an incredible force which breaks through the trees overhead and zooms off. Across from you, you see faces appear. Some you have seen before. They are in locations around here. You dislike this. You want to vote one of them out. You think there is something bad going on. Very very bad. The darkness increases.

Vote for anyone in the game. You may still investigate.

Commo_Soldier

09-15-2011, 08:54 AM

Well, now that we can vote for anyone that makes things better. Before deciding who to vote on in what seems like Day 1 all over again, I'm going to keep consolidating and head into the Cabin and hope Bhlloy and J23 are still there.

I don't want to be left alone so for now I'll follow but I may decide to stay in the yard as it looks like we may be able to see or hear what is going on inside the house from here... I just don't want to be left alone regardless so if dzilla wants to hang out in yard I'm probably game for that.

As for the vote.. nothing happened in the trail where I was at to stick a vote on any of them. Dv suggested we pile all our votes on someone outside the thread before we knew for sure we were only to vote for people in thread.

Dunno though..

I think we have to see a body to know if they are dead, I'd assume at least one person was killed by night kill if nothing else. Curious if people in the cabin could hear the shutter noise.

It is geting more heated. Outside there seems to be a rift opening in front of you in midair and you see faces again. All of your faces and faces of others. Then the faces are flipped through and one is landed on again and again. The faces seems angry especially the one face. It appears again and again and again and then...a window in the cabin breaks open and something flies out and through the center of your rift, dissipating it. The object bounces on the ground and rolls a couple of times. It settles itself. finally. It is a human head. It is not smiling.

CrimsonFox

09-15-2011, 09:56 PM

The four of you arrive at the cabin. This is the place you have been seeking and you are having second thought about going in. Maybe the woods was a better idea. Autumn, Jackal, Dubb, and MrBug are all here. There is no one else about.

Autumn

09-15-2011, 09:58 PM

CF, does the head look familiar to me?

Autumn

09-15-2011, 10:00 PM

Okay, so we know no one came out of the cabin. And interestingly nobody came here from the Trail. Zinto and Mckerney must have gone to the woods, or died, or stayed where they were.

I have no idea what picture, where the picture is, or why the picture took it. All I know is that the picture took it.

Maybe it attacked me and I defended it? Though nothing in the PM leads me to think that is what happened

I'm not sure what to do with a vote today. I think there's a good chance we nabbed NTN yesterday, but we can't be sure. If we get into the Cabin tomorrow we can check what the vote situation there was, and know for sure I think.

It seems if NTN fled, he went to the Cabin or the Study. Maybe he did so because he had allies there? That's not much to go on, but we could pick someone who was there day two.

Do we vote Darth just to drop dead weight? It seems he missed day two and who knows what he's doing now. He's not much good to us trailing behind.

I'm thinking seriously about NOT going in the cabin, just because Autumn seems to be herding us all there.

Yesterday he herded us all here after playing dumb and pushing us not to vote NtN. Today he quasi-role fishes and urges us to the cabin. Just not sure I like following him.

dubb93

09-16-2011, 03:46 PM

Also I question Autumn's story about the piece of parchment with gibberish in the thread. That was clearly a spell IMO and something that would have been picked up. I picked mine up. Why didn't he pick his up? I just can't imagine a "piece of paper with gibberish" being in the thread in whatever thread he came from. Just doesn't add up to me. Almost like he was trying to cling himself to me.

I would be very careful about doing anything he suggests.

dubb93

09-16-2011, 03:47 PM

Based on the messages I've received, I believe Mr. Bug's tale. I think the picture may be that image of a face we were seeing at the lynch.

Again. Here we go. Messages you received? Kind of like my letter with gibberish?

The Jackal

09-16-2011, 04:12 PM

I've been set on going to the cabin since the beginning, so I'm certainly not going because of anything Autumn said. But I think I see what you are driving at, will be interesting to hear what he has to say.

The Jackal

09-16-2011, 04:13 PM

Can we revisit your finding of the parchment on the road, Autumn? You said you didn't pick it up? I do find that a bit odd as well, I just can't quite recall what you said because it was in the other thread.

Autumn

09-16-2011, 04:15 PM

That's fine, I'm talking a lot, and eventually that gets you the hairy eyeball.

I can tell you that the wind that picked me up and took me from the road to the Woods was started by a vision of a parchment with weird writing and weird chanting. You saw me deposited in the Woods in the middle of the day, so it's clear that something odd happened. What i saw was in thread, had nothing to do with finding something in a PM, so it's clearly a different event, but probably both involved spells in some way.

I don't care where you guys go, but I don't see a real bonus to having the players spread out. It makes it hard to have vote history, and easier for wolves to hide. I also don't see any benefit from not exploring the cabin. You guys have seen the trail, we've seen the woods, and the yard, why would we go backwards?

The Jackal

09-16-2011, 04:17 PM

The only benefit to splitting up at this point would be to have contact with more people, but unless I find a spell of "talk to people in a different place" I don't think that's going to do much good.

I suppose that would make sense if you found the parchment and it swept you to the woods. We'll see what Dubb thinks.

I did not find the parchment on the road. While I was in the Road thread, there was a series of descriptions including a parchment, chanting words, a face in the clouds, a wind that picked me up into the fog and over a ravine and then smashed me into a tree. This happened during the day, in thread, and obivously resulted in me appearing in the Woods. It had nothing to do with finding an item.

I did find an item, and possess one, and so I knew what Mr.Bug meant about the possibility of losing an item, the PMs I got suggested that is a possibility.

Just to be clear I didn't find the parchment. The only thing I did which might have instigated things is declare that I was going to investigate the woods. I took the parchment to mean that someone else had cast a spell, or it was just flavor, but it wasn't an item I interacted wtih.

Autumn

09-16-2011, 04:22 PM

I'm not splitting up. It was a bluff. I think we need to stay together. Among other things it allows me to keep an eye on Autumn, who I don't trust at all this game.

I'm also not sure I buy the whole "spell" thing. If we assume a spell was cast that destroyed the road, then we have to assume a Deadite cast it. I can't see why a good player would cast that.

Bottom line, I'm following along, but I just can't trust Autumn here.

That said I can see the case for moving backwards as a group too. I personally would find it fascinating to see how other people try to play on what we had done in days prior. Would tell me alot about their allegiance too. I fear the constant moving forward negates that part of the game.

My other concern is who is getting offed at night? If I were a wolf in this game I would NOT want to be offing anyone that was moving with me until it was too late unless they were on to me or I thought they were roled. I haven't seen anyone get offed yet. Makes me think I have had a wolf with me every day.

Everybody but Zinto and Mckerney are in the cabin or the study. I guess someone could go try to find them, though we don't know if they're in the trail or the woods. It might be helpful to see what they did in those threads the last couple days, I suppose, but if we keep sending people back we'll have to keep sending more people back to find out what they did ;-) I'm kind of hoping everybody just congregates on the cabin and we can figure out what's going on. To my mind the only benefit to being in different places has been to collect items.

I haven't seen anyone get offed yet. Makes me think I have had a wolf with me every day.

I don't know why I got spirited ahead. I saw a parchment, yes, but I also saw a face and heard chanting and a wind and a whole bunch of stuff. It seemed to me most likely CF's fiat to put us together. I'm not sure what advantage the bad guys would get by casting a spell that closed off the Road. It's not like we could escape that way. And all it did was move me.

And the other part is why I'd like to get into the cabin. In there, we should be able to see the Cabin history and hopefully meet someone who has the Study history. We can find out who has died, and figure out what the wolves are up to.

On the other hand, it occurs to me that maybe the wolves can only kill someone in the same thread as them. In which case they would be wary of making any kills, and would want to get everyone in one room. So there might be an advantage to staying spread out. It's hard to say. I'm definitely going in the Cabin because I want to find out if anyone has died in there. But I guess there might be reasons to not all congregate.

I don't think the cabin was in play on D1. So that makes me throw out the rest of your data. It would need to be done over with the cabin not in on D1. Me thinks we are still very much spread out.

There was a 4th thread on Day one. It had to be something.

dubb93

D1 we started with Yard, Woods, Trail, Road.

Road closed on D2 and Cabin opened up.

Either D2 or D3 Study opened up. I'm almost positive at some point I saw "Cellar" but it seems to be gone. Maybe it was deleted? Maybe I imagined it.

Main cabin was the main thread. I know for a fact it was NOT in play D1. I was in that thread D1 and there was a post saying it was OK to be in there D1. On D2 I posted that it seems to have become a game thread and needs to be marked as such.

Where else could those people have been? We've seen the starting roster in the Road, the Trail, and the Yard. We know that the other people were not in any of those.

I can look in the Werewolf Forum and see that there are no other threads than Road, Trail, yard, Cabin, Study. So there's nowhere else those people could have been than in the Cabin or the Study. I don't think the Study existed on Day 1.

Well if Cabin and Yard were empty D1, then those four had to be in the study or some thread that's been deleted. We know they were in a fourth thread.

Autumn

09-16-2011, 04:40 PM

In addition, we know where zinto and mckerney were D1, and where they went for D2. We know what places the Trail connects to. We know they weren't in the Yard D3. So they have to be in the Trail, the Woods or dead.

Yes, I think I said they might close as they empty out. Perhaps there was only one person on the trail, like when I was on the road. It seemed to happen when I decided to head to the Woods, so maybe they finally entered their investigate order. We'll find out eventually I guess.

A horrible force comes barreling out of the woods behind them. It is invisible yet immensely powerful and you can hear and feel and sense it. It slams into the window of the cabin. Inside you can see and hear the shadows of panicked people running about, left and right and running into each other and finally the window breaks and out pops a body. You hit the ground as it continues zooming overhead...whatever it was...into the woods....carrying Danny screaming all the way.
