A tale written by Incognito

Time

: 4 A.M. May 7, 2069

Location

: Cog City. A peaceful and harmonious city experiencing good times… until now.

Sssssssccccreeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll!

A subway train screeches along early in the morning as half-awake passengers ride to their destinations. Some are staring out the windows into the dark, winding tunnels lit by old, dim lights while others sleep or keep themselves occupied by reading or listening to music. It all seems like the beginnings of a typical day. The subway train continues its path winding through the tunnels continuing along its way into the heart of downtown Cog City.

BLAM! A gunshot sounds near the front of the train. The passengers look around startled and wide-eyed wondering what’s going on as the train slowly decreases its speed, grinding steadily almost to a halt. Suddenly the train picks up speed again, accelerating faster than ever climbing to speeds of about 60 to 70 M.P.H. As the passengers struggle to figure out what the hell could be going on, the train’s brakes slam, decelerating the train quickly and grinding the wheels to a deadening halt. All of the passengers are flung forward slamming their bodies against the poles and walls within the train causing most of them to die instantaneously from the impact. The others enter a state of unconsciousness…

3 hours pass.

7 A.M.

The passengers that are still alive begin to come to their senses checking the bodies of their fellow civilians. They realize that most of them are dead as their bodies lie motionless lacking a pulse. Only 12 of them remain alive and they begin staring at one another wondering if they could trust each other. Suddenly they hear the train’s intercom crackling as the train’s trusty engineer struggles to find his voice.

“At-at-at-attention passengers. I don’t have much time to live. I’ve been shot and wounded *cough cough*, and I can feel my energy draining. Do not trust each other… some of you are responsible for……”

The engineer’s voice trails off as he passes away, his energy and oxygen escaping him.

Some of you know who is responsible for this. Others know that it’s time to get down to some serious business…

The Rules

1)

Remember that this is a game. Please enjoy yourself! =)

2)

Do

not

quote any PMs sent to you by me. This includes your role pm or any additional PMs I may send you. Doing so will automatically get you mod-killed. Period.

3)

Please keep all conversation within the thread unless your role PM specifies otherwise. If I find out that chatting is going on outside of the thread, you will be mod-killed.

4)

Votes should be cast using the following format –

Vote: Person X

. I will not count votes that are not

bolded

. If you choose to change your vote, please

Unvote

first and then

Vote

again. Again, I will not count switches in votes unless an

unvote

is used first.

5)

Lynching will require a majority of votes. You may

Vote: No Lynch

if you decide that you do not want to lynch during the day. No Lynching will also require a majority of votes. Once the number of votes reaches the number required for a lynch to occur, that decision is final. Any subsequent unvotes will not be counted. You may feel free to converse during this period (called Twilight) until the thread is locked.

6)

*Important:

If you get killed or are lynched, you are

dead

. You may not post anything afterwards. Not even a “Bah!” post. Srsly.

7)

If you have any questions about the game, please feel free to PM me.

8)

I expect everyone to post regularly. If I see that a player has not posted for longer than a 72 hour time period and the player has not notified me about this, I will prod said player. If the person fails to pick up his her/prod within 48 hours of the prod, that player will be replaced. If you are prodded more than three times, you will be replaced (negotiable). If you are prodded, you must respond to the prod

in-thread

.

9)

Treat this game as a commitment and be courteous to your fellow players. I find that this is the best way for everyone to enjoy the game. Thanks. =)

10)

Each day will automatically have a set deadline of four weeks. In special circumstances, I may extend the deadline at the request of the players or my own discretion.

11)

If a majority is not reached at deadline, I will allow for one less than the majority to decide who the lynch victim will be. In case of a tie, the person who reached the number first will be the day’s lynch. In cases where simply not enough votes were accumulated on a certain player, a no lynch will occur.

12)

During LyLo or end-game situations, a majority of votes

must

be reached.

13)

Please confirm your role to me via PM.

14)

No small or invisible text may be used within the thread. If you have editing abilities, you may not edit your posts.

15)

My in-thread, non-flavor text color is

red

. Please do not use this color.

16)

Again, remember to have fun. =D

Below is a sample of the Vanilla Townie role PM:

Your Role

XXXXXXXX, you are a

normal citizen (Vanilla Townie)

. While riding the subway home, you realize that something horrible is happening - the train you are riding is being hijacked! Unfortunately you have no idea who or what is doing the hijacking. You have no special abilities, but using your brains and your power to vote, you intend to serve justice to all evil forces on the train. You may not converse with anyone outside of the thread. You win when all threats to the subway train have been eliminated. Please confirm via PM stating your role. Thanks.

Alignment:

Town

Role:

Vanilla Townie

OBJECTION!

In 2069 obviously I would be in my millionaire house, in a hottub, with no reason to piddle with the piffle on a train.

Hey everyone! Sorry I delayed everything. I suddenly became tremendously busy, but we should be good by now.

No random vote here.
