GAME INFO So close. We were so close. (W██e yo█?) We were. We'll ████ ███m. Or else, we'll̦̆ ̺̓p͓͗r̤̺̊́o̯̳̹̽͂̀v̤̌̉͢ē̡̤̕ ̢̅t̯̙͕̗͙̓̈́̆̚̚h̲̻̯͈̝͗̅̏̀́a̰͇͍̯̫̓̈́̄̈͋t̙͇͈̦͌̋̐̔͜͝—̨̥͎͉͈͌́̌͌̂ When you wake up, the sunlight is warm on your face. The scene around you is charmingly peaceful; idyllic, even. Maybe you're still dreaming, after all—actually, wait, the paved street underneath you is getting rather uncomfortable. Haha! Seems like this is reality. Maybe. Left with little else, you check out the device given to you, where you find a single message. Good evening, everyone. Uh, how are we sure they’re arriving in the evening? Just say “hello”! Or “greetings”! Greetings is fancy, right? Oh that’s true. Greetings, everyone. That’s better? ▼ Hm. The rest of the message doesn't tell you much more. It looks like you're not alone, at least. However, whether this will become a blessing or a curse remains to be seen. Don't wait for too long, though. Over time, as you regain your bearings, you may notice a piece of you is... missing? No matter how hard you concentrate, you can't seem to recall it. Maybe it was important, or maybe it was trivial, but you no longer remember. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ redactable is a short-termed murder mystery game set in an unknown world, dealing with gradual memory loss. Characters will arrive with no knowledge of how they got there or how to leave, but will find that they have been sorted into one of several factions. With their memories disappearing one by one, they will have to decide how far they'll go in order to unravel the truth behind this world and return home—intact.

FORMAT This game is loosely based on the Mafia party game, though we will be changing a few things as necessary for this game's particular play style. Each week, at least one individual will be murdered. Those remaining will have to gather and work together to deduce who the culprit(s) is, using the clues left to them. Not only that, but people may have incentive to kill on their own initiative, if they wish to regain their missing memories and unravel the overarching mysteries of the game. Among the characters will be a number of hidden roles, given to specific individuals. More information will be given to those chosen; please note that players with roles should keep these roles an IC/OOC secret! Even if you don't possess a role, don't worry! There will be plenty for you to do. After all, escape from this world hinges on how much effort the characters put into investigating the truth, whether that be through causing murders or solving them.

SCHEDULE MONDAY-THURSDAY: Each Monday will begin with a weekly mingle for characters to explore the setting and get to know each other. These will go up at 12pm EST. There also may be events during the week, typically posted at 12pm EST on Wednesday. FRIDAY: Investigation time! Like thotordie, we will be having traditional investigations through time blocks. A post will go up at 6pm EST with a set of initial locations to explore, and then another set of locations will be revealed at 7pm EST. Characters in each time block will be given up to two hours to find all the clues they can in the locations. This will end at 9pm EST, at which point the body announcement will go up, confirming the victim(s). SATURDAY: It's Trial Day! Trials will begin at 12pm EST and will go until 9pm EST. Characters will have the nine hours to try and solve the murder and vote for a culprit before time is up. OOCly, players will submit their vote in a screened post. Once the votes have been tallied, the NPCs will reveal who has been selected for execution. Voting is mandatory, and failure to do so will result in your character being killed off. If you will not be available during a particular trial, please let your mods know beforehand (preferably at least a day in advance)! Please try not to miss several trials or multiple in a row. SUNDAY: Execution time! Executions will go live at 2pm EST. These are not mandatory to be present for, unless you have been chosen as executioner, but they are open to the public to witness. This cycle repeats until we hit an ending to the game. In addition, for those of you who will receive roles, we will provide you with your schedule at the time of acceptance and role introduction.

FAQ What is the pacing of the game? Our game will be running on a 1:1 schedule and functioning on EST because all your mods are EST losers. Please refer to the above timeline for when important posts will go up. Do I have to be present for every trial? If something comes up and you are unable to be present for a trial, please let us know in advance! We prefer 48 hours in advance (minimum 24 unless it's an emergency), but if you come to us really early before the trial starts or in the first hour of the trial we will be a bit lenient. If you do not let us know in advance, you will be killed off in-game. How long will the game last? We're aiming for a minimum of six and a maximum of eight weeks! Should a player need to leave the game prior to endgame, please speak with the mod team and we will discuss the next steps with you. If I die early what happens next? We will have a graveyard for characters to continue playing in and participating in! You can do open threads on the main graveyard post, or you may have private conversations with other dead characters. In addition, characters in the graveyard will be presented with opportunities the living side does not have access to. Private conversations? Private conversations! Sometimes your character (or a group of characters) will want to get together with people to spend time together or share information or whatever. This would become a private conversation that isn't shared with the game at large. Please check out the private conversations page for information on how to set up journal filters and more. How active do I have to be? We like to see that players are participating either via weekly mingles, private threads, or both in addition to participation in trials! The game functions best when all players are active and engaging, so please keep this in mind when apping in! We ask that your time be managed well. Additionally if you have a role, we will ask for a little extra higher activity to be around for coordination purposes, etc. How do I contact the mod team for any questions/concerns/murder plans? We will be operating primarily on Discord, so please be sure to create a group chat with Francy, Zia, and January! Discord is the most effective method for all of your mods, and our Discord handles will be available in the group server.

RULES 1.) Please be nice! This is a game specifically created with the intention of all of our friends playing together in a fun environment, so we would really love for our friends to treat each other well. Please remember that IC =/= OOC and while murdergames can be competitive we ask that everyone treats everyone else with respect. 2.) Please be active! Yes, we've said it like six times in this page alone but this is a Very Big Thing! 3.) Please keep your roles a secret! Naturally ICly characters may share their roles with each other if it comes up in conversation and it becomes a fun game of chance, but we ask that OOCly you do not share your role(s) with other people. 4.) Keep in mind that this is a murdergame which means your character is just as likely to die as the next! Whether that's in week one or week six, if your character is chosen to be a victim that week they will be sent to the chopping block. However, we will have other things for the dead to do. 5.) At this time, canon powers/abilities are nerfed! While your character may be the strongest most powerful person in their canon it will not mean much here. Oops. 6.) Finally, if at any time you have concerns or feel uncomfortable about something in-game please contact us! As this is a game of our friends, we hope that you guys will come talk to us immediately so that we can get things straightened out and help where we can. Please do not feel as though any concern is too small or insignificant. As mods, we're here to help make everyone feel welcome and have a good time.
