Haunted Carnival - Game Ended

Haunted Carnival

A Spooky Game for a Midwayful of Players

Originated by rolandofthewhite

Objective:

Visitors:

Be the last visitor alive and pick out the Good Ghost!

Good Ghost:

Get the surviving Visitor to choose you over the Bad Ghost!

Bad Ghost:

Get the surviving Visitor to choose you over the Good Ghost!

How to Play:

1.

Each round, the players will enter a new locale in the carnival and be asked to hide in one of four hiding spots. Once everyone has hidden, hiding spots will be revealed, and the Bad Ghost will choose one of the Visitors to kill. The Bad Ghost cannot kill a Visitor that is hiding with the Good Ghost, UNLESS all Visitors and the Good Ghost are hiding in the same location. (If this happens, the Bad Ghost will also be shown to be hiding in the same location.) The Bad Ghost may choose not to kill if they wish; however, that will extend the game and likely lead to them being caught.

2.

Play continues with the remaining alive players, until 3 players remain: the Bad Ghost, the Good Ghost, and the last surviving Visitor. At that point, the Visitor must choose who they think is the Good Ghost. If they choose correctly, they will be able to escape the carnival alive! If not, the Bad Ghost kills them and wins.

Bad Ghost Role PM:

You are the

BAD GHOST

! The

GOOD GHOST

is XXXXX. You win if the last surviving Visitor chooses you over the

GOOD GHOST

!

Good Ghost Role PM:

You are the

GOOD GHOST

! The

BAD GHOST

is YYYYY. You win if the last surviving Visitor chooses you over the

BAD GHOST

!

Visitor Role PM:

You are a VISITOR. Hide each round and hope you don’t get killed! You win if you are the last surviving Visitor and you choose the

GOOD GHOST

at the end.

OK! All Role PMs are out. Each Role PM was followed by the following:

Your game thread is here! Once you have received your Role PM, feel free to confirm in-thread.

And now you may start to confirm! You have about 24 hours, afterward I'll start the first round.

Episode 1

The Carousel

"It'll be fun!" your friends said, when they dragged you out of the house to visit Bonesy & Ulna's Olde-Tyme Carnival. So you put on your cutest outfit -- a fitted plaid button-up, dark wash jeans and some fairly conservative Midwesterner boots -- a carpooled to the outskirts of time where all the fun and games had been set up.

You arrive as a big group of laughing, chattering friends, ready to take the carnival by storm. But when you get there, it's an eerie place! You can see people rumbling up the midway and screaming on rides, but it's all muffled, like it's all behind a cage of glass. There's a purple haze in the air, but you don't think too much of it; it seems to make all the flashing lights and movement of the carnival more electric.

The first thing you stop in front of is a grandiose carousel. Painted in immaculate detail, it's the biggest one you've ever seen. You see the rows of carved animals, and you swear you never see the same one twice. The music of the carousel is giddy, it seems like it's going faster and faster but never too fast. After a brief glance at the thrills and games that await elsewhere, you decide they can wait. You're ready to hop on -- but which animal seat should you take?

Choices

Ride an Elephant

Ride a Horsey

Ride a Sea Lion

Ride a Tiger

Please PM me your choice; these are your "hiding spots". Reminder: at the outset there's no difference between the choices, it all depends on where the Good Ghost hides.

You may freely discuss the choices in this thread.

You will have 48 hours. If after the next 24 hours there is someone who hasn't confirmed or sent in a choice, I will find a replacement.

[Chevre]

A few things: Make sure you PM me your hiding places! I counted any that were just bolded and posted in the thread for this round, but next round I'll treat you as a non-submitter. Speaking of which: anyone who didn't submit had their hiding location randomized.

You all pick an animal to ride on. As you hop on, the wood feels warm, smooth -- fleshlike, even . . .

The carousel whirs to life once more once you're all on. What starts out as a pleasant ride turns to horror as the ride begins to spin faster and faster. Just before the skeleton at the levers turns into a blur, you can see him laughing maniacally. Wait -- the skeleton at the helm?

The Bad Ghost now has 24 hours to PM me their choice to kill! Who's it gonna be?

[Chevre]

The carousel whirs and whirs, and you scream and scream . . . it seems like it spins for an eternity until you can start to feel it slowing down. With a doubt, the carousel comes to a stop, and you can hear a clatter of bones. Cautiously, you look around . . .

Hm. Most people seem to be alive and well . . . but

D3f3nd3r

isn't on a tiger anymore. He must be that pile of bones rolling about the floor of the carousel.

- - -

It takes a moment, but you realize what's happened and you scream and panic. Frantically, you all dash off the carousel into the heart of the carnival. Everything around you seems so intimidating--the rush of rides, the sinister jangles of carnival games--except for the bathrooms. They look surprisingly clean and lavish for a pop-up carnival, you think. Is this good to be true?

48 hours! Sorry for the delay, I was away with friends this weekend but now I am back!

[Chevre]

Quite a few havent' submitted, so I'll be prodding them! They have 24 hours or else I'll just randomize and start seeking replacements.

[Chevre]

Something's on your tail!

And it has to tinkle . . .

BAD GHOST has 24 hours to kill someone . . . IF THEY DARE!!!

[Chevre]

A great chorus of flushing!

Gammagooey and Shadoweh run to the front of the bathrooms to see what is causing such a ruckus! But they're just in time to see everyone emerge safe, sound, and relieved from the Men's and Family Restrooms. After all the flushes die down, the Women's Bathroom is quiet. Adorabebs opens the door --CREAAAAAK-- and they go inside.

All the stalls are occupied, but one by one they open to smiling faces.

yawetag . . .

Aronis . . .
Clumsy . . .
But

JaeReed's

stall never opens. JaeReed was flushed down the toilet and was never heard from again.

So you all run screaming to another part of the carnival! This time to the fun house (how cliche can you get?). How much fun are you gonna have?

How are you all feeling about the game? It certainly seems terribly broken but I don't want to make any changes without all sides approving them. Let me know what I can do to make this enjoyable!

[Chevre]

I'm going to

end this game

. I've received just over half of submissions across the two games, and it is clear that it is pretty broken.

My apologies. I'm glad to have tried to resurrect it, but it looks I didn't do a very good job.
