Something rotten in Toonsville GAME OVER

[EagleFan]

I will add more details but feeling out the interest.

Quick summary:

When you sign up pick a cartoon character that you want to identify with. Your character will be posted with your signup. Aiming more for Saturday morning type cartoons.

The game will be a sort of normal WW game but it will be an evolving game which will also, hopefully, tell a story.

Rules will be posted as they become official (which would also mean during the game as a new rule may be added based upon a triggered event or timing).

Roles will also fall in line with how the game plays out.

There will be special abilities and a couple items (the number of each will be determined by the number of players).

I plan on starting the game on 5/5 if we have enough people. I may be travelling for work on the week of 5/12 but that shouldn't cause too many issues other than a few times where I will be too tied up with work to look at the site during the daytime hours; or if travel extends into any deadline hours but I will adjust accordingly if that will be the case.

General Rules

Deadline Type: One deadline a day which covers day and night actions

Deadline: 10 PM EST

Days or Play: Monday through Friday; Weekends off (or count as a really long Monday, depends on how you want to think of it)

Goal: To win the game

Voting: Bold your vote (vote EagleFan) within its own post; makes it easier to count instead of finding it in the middle of a post; any vote that is not in a post of its own will not count; if you wish to explain your vote do so in the next post (or previous post, however you see fit)

Tie votes: In the extremely rare event of a tie (extremely rare I say); a random selection between the players that are tied will occur AND the following - if all players have voted the last player to vote will be killed off, if not all players have voted than any player who didn't vote will be killed off.

Edit of Post: Don't! An edit of a post counts as a vote for you.

Sherriff - The protector of the people

Nurse - The angel of mercy of the people

Doctor - The savior of the people

Outlaw - The name kind of says it all

I'm going Retro with my saturday morning cartoon character choice - Papa Smurf.

[murrayyyyy]

Michigan J Frog

[Schmidty]

Haven't played WW in forever, because I always have some crisis happen when I'm in a game. Or I forget I'm in a game.

Wish I could be Hulk since he's been in cartoons.

If I can't be Hulk, I'll be Optimus Prime. If I can't be OP, I'll be He-Man. If I can't be HM, I'll be Bugs Bunny.

[mauchow]

I will be in as Roger Rabbit!

EDITING? HE'S A WITCH, BURN HIM

[The Jackal]

Sorry, that was very un-Donatello of me.

[DaddyTorgo]

I was just coming back to the thread to request to be He-Man instead of Papa Smurf, but if Schmidty wants him instead...

[EagleFan]

This would be a good sized game. Let's do it!

[Coffee Warlord]

Ah, one deadline? I can do that. My availability around deadline will be questionable at best, but during the day, I can chime in.

By your powers combined...I...am...

CAPTAIN PLANET.

And I'm gonna turn your ass into a tree.

[EagleFan]

Nice, getting a decent sized game. That will open up some more twists.

[claphamsa]

Introduction

"Dad, it is real! It is where the cartoons go after the show is over. They have to live somewhere." Little Johnny says with wide eyed wonder as his father looks on with a parents love and a bit of dismissiveness.

"If you insist Johnny. But I have never heard of Toonsville." Johnny's father replied as he poured tiny O's into a bowl. As he handed the bowl to Johnny he paused and stared off slightly into the past. The moment was fleeting as he shook his head and grabbed the milk. "Wait, you need this too; not just cereal and sugar."

"I know they live there, they all live together like one big happy family."

Oh, the innocence of a child. It was quite refreshing.

"Time to shut off that television!" A high pitched voice exclaims. "You have been watching that show long enough, what could be so entertaining?"

"They are funny. They do so many things that we would never do."

"You know it can't be real. You saw last week when that person got hurt tripping over a shoelace. Who gets hurt like that without popping back up?"

"But uncle, they even mentioned us. They know about us."

"I bet they do." The uncle's shadow comes into view with the duck bill quite pronounced. "Go outside and play, you can watch Johnny and his dad on TV anytime. Get some exercise, just stay out of trouble."

[Autumn]

Scrooge!

[britrock88]

Hmm... Snagglepuss.

[EagleFan]

The Night the TV Died

"Fix it dad!" Johnny begged as he stared longingly into the television. It had gone black, all channels that once aired cartoons were completely black; not even an off the air banner, just a black nothingness.

Elsewhere...

"There is nothing that I can do. I will call the cable company."

A duck billed silhouette is seen walking across the room and picking up the phone.

"My nephews wanted to watch that stupid show about Johnny and his father... I don't know, channel 5... what?!?!"

Something odd indeed...

[EagleFan]

Beginning to send out PM's. The weekend will count as Day 0 and continue until the Day 1 Deadline on Monday.

Don't be surprised if you get more than one PM before I give the official nod of the start of the game.

[DaddyTorgo]

[DaddyTorgo]

I HAVE FABULOUS SECRET POWERS!!! AND BATTLE-CAT!!!

BRING IT ON WOLVES!!!

I AM THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE UNIVERSE!!!

[EagleFan]

For information and to prevent Meta playing. Vanilla villagers received the following:

You are a vanilla villager in Toonsville. Things can change at any moment as normal rules don't always apply in Toonsville as they do in our reality.

[EagleFan]

Day 0

Something is wrong. You cannot see the other world through your televisions while in Toonsville but that is not the overwhelming feeling of dread that has encompassed the town... The portal which carried every true toon from their homes in Toonsville to their Day Jobs in The Tube(something 'humans' call cartoons).

You are trapped as you see the portal showering the area with sparks and smoke slowly rising from it. Did something happen to it? Was it an accident? Was it destroyed on purpose?

While your body refreshes while in Toonsville, you start to lose your special traits that make you one of a kind on the other side of the portal, in The Tube. You need that connection to live. You need that connection to make sense of your lives.

An all hands on deck call has gone out to find someone who has the power to fix the portal. Everyone currently believes it was an accident so suspicion is not high but everyone is aware of that possibility. Though who would do anything like this? Why?

[Danny]

The Doctor is in!

[EagleFan]

Have updated the roles and objects list. Not all roles or objects may be in play and the list may be added to. Any addition will be noted. Any change will be specifically noted in my posts. No changes to what was posted at this time, only additions.
