Terrorist Group vows to kill all world leaders


A broadcast by a previously unknown group has pledged to rid the world of all major world leaders "in the very near future".


The chilling video, which was sent to all major news broadcasters worldwide, shows only an unknown man in a heavily darkened room saying that the organisation he represents, which is called "For The People", have the means to carry out attacks on all major politicians imminently, and that it is too late to stop their plan of action.

In the 13-minute long tape, he denounced politicians today as being "puppets for a larger agenda, one that swindles the public rather than serving them", that they have lost all meaning of what leadership over a populace is meant to be. The man says that he aims to make politics authentic again by "cleansing the dirt and dusting the desks of politics clean of scandal, corruption and impurity"

It is not currently known how large this group is, or where they might be based, but there is no doubt that, despite the fact this group has come out of nowhere in the eyes of the public, this video has caused a stir on the streets around the world.

A statement released by Downing Street told the public to remain calm, that while they do not expect a terrorist attack to happen any time soon, they shall be increasing security around MP's and Members of the House of Lords. They have informed the public that even though the group have not specified any intent to harm members of the public, they should stay aware and to report any suspicious activity to a police officer.

The White House has said that it is taking the threat seriously and will make every attempt to track down the terrorists, and similar sentiments to both Downing Street and The White House have been reflected worldwide.

A distinction of this game from others is in the voting mechanics: Each day will use a different electoral method to decide the lynch, the method used will be told to the players at the start of that day. Voting in a traditional sense will not occur during the day (though players can still post unofficial votes if they wish, which I shall keep track of in Vote Counts), instead, each day has a set deadline where the day ends (which can be brought forward if a majority of players vote for it), absolutely no posting must occur past this deadline. When the deadline passes for the end of the day, each player sends me a PM specifying who they wish to vote for. Once all players have PMed me their votes, I post the votes, and the subsequent lynch choice based upon the voting system of the day in an end-of-day post.

Apart from the voting systems, this game shall work like normal, however, due to this mechanic and the size of the game, I will
only accept signups from players who have at least one completed Large Game to their name.

While the level of interest thus far makes me fear that you're right, I don't understand why.... the format seems interesting enough.

I was aware replacements may be a problem, it was also for that that I asked for experienced players only.

However, I'm confident this can work, if the game is entertaining enough, then hopefully people won't replace out. I think this setup is a good one, but, we will never know unless people sign up :)

how long are the deadlines?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They will start at a month, I will probably reduce them incrementally as the number of living players reduce. A majority of Players can also choose to end a day early if they wish.

Absolutely, the last thing I would want is the game going stale because the town have basically decided upon a lynch, and there's still two weeks till the official deadline. :]

At first, unless too many folk this is too long, what does everyone else think to this?

I was debating between a month and three weeks while making this game, and decided to go for the longer one because deadlines can be brought forward, but not pushed back (except under extraordinary circumstance).

I'd prefer three weeks, but I'll be doing my best to end it at the standard two weeks via play anyway, as the best thing for a game like that is FLIPPPPPPPPPPPPS! But it's whatever. I'm still /in. Just if people drag on I'll be pissed.

Even though 35 players is a bit much if it does fill it'll probably be good
