Haunted House - Game Ended

Haunted House

A Spooky Game for a Mansionful 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 room in the house 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 house 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.

I think I will be closing signups in around 24 hours. Do to the large number of people who signed up, I might split the playerlist up into two games -- I think becomes less balanced for the Bad Ghost the more players there are.

[Chevre]

OK, I've randomized the list of 26 players and split it into 2 groups of 13.

same rules, different setting!

Role PMs for both games will be going out shortly!

[Chevre]

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

Scout's Honor

"To the ends of the earth I'll go, taming grief, sorrow, and woe." That's the Rainbow Scout motto! But for now, you're just fundraising and selling cookies. That meant you went to the end of your earth -- the whole of Troop #66 trucked their wagons full of Prism Pralines and Spectrumdoodles over to the spooky old Brass mansion at the end of the lane. Legend has it Tanner Brass was once a rich benevolent man until spirits of darkness overtook him and he retreated into his house, never to be seen again.

You knock on the door, but it opens before the second knock. But there isn't anyone there. Susie Fitzworth, three-year-running Top Cookie Seller, drops her box of Indigoas and is so startled she just pees her dress-code-obeying khakis right then and there. You all laugh at her -- kids can be so mean. Crying, Susie runs home.

But just moments afterward, you all wish you had the incontinence of Susie as a strange gust of wind whips up from behind you all and sweeps you into the house! You end up all tumbled into a dark, creaky foyer. But there's little time to admire the rusticness! The strange wind continues to whip around you, carrying on its airs a huge sense of dread. You've got to find a place to hide -- but where?

Choices

Behind a Suit of Armor

Behind the Window Curtains

In the Coat Closet

Under the Rug

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]

JDGA is correct. The Bad Ghost can kill in any room regardless of where they hid. The only restriction is that they cannot kill in the room where the Good Ghost is hidden.

[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 scramble into a hiding place. You might be screaming, but no one can hear it over the strong WHOOSH of the wind.

You're shaking. Your teeth clatter. The wind still rushes. The ghost is out there, and he'll find one of you!

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

[Chevre]

The wind rushes, fast and furious. You can hear vases being stirred up from the tables and crashing into the walls, smashing into a million little pieces. The wind is almost unbearable, like a howling freight train inside your head.

Then . . . all is quiet. You nervously emerge from your hiding spot. Despite the disarray, everything seems to be calm.

People emerge from the coat closet. They were packed like sardines in there! Except one little sardine is now dead.

xRECKONERx

's corpse plops out of the closet. It looks like he was spooked to death!

Wanting to escape the trauma you push open a door and clamber in. This seems to be the dining hall, beautifully set for a party of ten. But the wind's whipping up again . . .

[Chevre]

Majiffy

[Chevre]

As you all hide, the dishes stir up from the dinner table menacingly...

BAD GHOST has 24 hours to kill someone!

[Chevre]

As you all retreat back into the depths of your hiding spots the dishes begin to fling towards where you're all hiding.

They crash against the statue!
They crash against the screen!
They crash against the china hutch!
They crash against the table too!

But other than a great mess, the dishes seem to do no harm. So you all emerge from your hiding places -- just in time to see a flutter of clothes behind the decorative screen! How promiscuous! How provocative! But when the clothes fall to the floor, you realize they're just

Cephrir's

, whose bones are now scattered across the floor.

You all shriek and dash into another room -- a game parlor! You know you should be scared, but . . . these games are so enticing . . .

Choices

Play a Game of Backgammon
Play a Game of Chess
Play a Game of Darts
Play a Game of Snooker

48-ish hours!

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.
