Gypsy Curse - Game Called!

Spoiler: Starting Flavour
Image

A game for 14 players.


It's only been a few days since you read it in the newspaper.
"Band of gypsies enters nearby town, terrorizes locals"
is what it said. You went to the town along with most of your police-officer buddies to check if everything was alright the next day. Despite it only being a small town - maybe about 5,000 people maximum - they had no dedicated police force of there own, so you were often called in to "do the dirty" as it was called.

Once you got there, the whole atmosphere had changed - it was as if
the gypsies had taken over the town, as well as a sizable group of it's citizens
. You tried through that day and the next to restore order to the town, but you failed. And now you're stuck in the town, without a means of escape.

Survive.


Gypsy Count - 5,000/5,000

Player Count - 1


About:
Gypsy Curse is a game for 14 players. Players will compete in challenges. In the vast majority of challenges, if a player comes in last, they will be eliminated from the game. The last player standing wins. Challenges will be of various types, but has a small focus on social games.

APPLICATIONOnce you are finished with the application, submit it.

1. What is your username?
2. What is your gender?
3. What games of this type have you played before, if any?
4. This game may take a few weeks. Do you plan to stay active?
5. Would you rather be the gypsy king or free all the citizens?
6. Provide a short (less than 150 word) description of your character’s appearance. Your only prohibition is you may not wear the colour
PURPLE
, as it is the colour of the gypsies. You can use no detail, or describe everything in great detail, if you can fit it. You may also opt to have the moderator come up with an outfit for you. It will have no bearing on how the game plays out.

I have received the description.

I'll open the game now, and I'll spend some time on making the characters that I was asked to make. In the mean time, {Challenge 01} will start on Saturday, at 10 PM Eastern Time. No challenges in this game are live. There is one that could be called semi-live, and it will be announced when it happens.

Sorry about the delay, everyone. I was literally about to go to sleep for the night when I saw this game, so I waited until I was home from work to write my description out.

Hello everyone. So far I've proven to be pretty good at challenge based games, and pretty bad at social ones, so it stands to reason that I'll be middle of the road on this one. I hope that either way I'll allow this to remain enjoyable for everyone.

That in mind, I won't be available at the start time of the first challenge, so I want to ask whether or not it will be live.

Unfortunately, you need to roll a 7 on a 6 sided die for it to work.

And adding modifiers to the dice is cheating.

@KingdomAces - It is not live. There is a total of no live challenges and a semi-live, which will be announced.

...and I'm already missing things. Also as usual, feel free to ignore me at will, since I'm kind of an idiot sometimes.

Also since we are on MS after all: VOTE: Nicholas1024

Unfortunately it's not as nice as it could be since I'm on it.


Wait, I'm supposed to be avoiding self deprivation. Stopping now.

The
small
focus on social games is what drew me in.

Presumably the town we are in has a population of about 5000, so it's likely that throughout the game, they will steadily be recruited into the gypsies. There also may be a way to free them, based on the application, but for obvious reasons I can't actually be sure about anything.

My guess would be how many gypsies are in this town. 500 of them in this town of 5,000.

@KA: I dunno, I rather enjoyed having you in the games you've played so far.

Including the one where we were at each other's throats right from the beginning?

Well, that's what makes it a confession, koshechka. What's the point in admitting that which is known?

In case it is not obvious, you may start sending private messages/IMs/etc. to the other players, and may continue all game, unless mentioned otherwise.

Before anyone asks, I don't have AIM or anything like that, so if you want to contact me the best way is by PM.

Even though this just started, I kind of need to leave now. I know I'm looking forward to this, so have fun everyone, and I hope I will too.

Yes, including those games xD

@Bele, because why not? I dunno

But just for future reference, I'm much easier to get a hold of via IM. Skype is the same as this, and AIM just click the button for my sn.

AIM is usually the best way to get a hold of me when my internet isn't being retarded.
