KING RULEBOOK
the king On Sunday, at 6pm, Emet-Selch will receive a message on his PHS. π€ β‘οΈ π° Upon receiving this message, Emet-Selch will notice that the castle appears closer than usual. Should he head towards it, he will finally be able to reach its entrance. Inside is a large hall with various doors, along with a staircase, but he will be able to access only a single door. Once he steps inside, he will find his Leader waiting for him. After their meeting is over and he leaves the castle, he will no longer be able to reach the castle again. As the King: Every Sunday, the King will be able to create one rule and one order that must be followed. These decrees will go into effect on the Monday of the following week, and will last until the following Sunday. The two decrees are as follows:
2) One order that one participant must follow. The participant will not be informed that an order has been given to them, and will only be aware of an urge to obey it. The participant will follow this order until the new week begins, or until the King chooses to remove it. Additional notes: The King will be allowed to ask questions about the on-goings of the game and communicate with their Leader in their weekly meetings. They may receive small hints should they perform well. However, the information received will be up to their Leader's discretion. |

After everything, I would be disappointed were you surprised by it.
[people here really do yell about everything.]
I do have more questions, but first, I would ask if this failure is a detriment to us-- past the obvious answer of that entire mess, earlier.
[he definitely saw people ask about what happens to an innocent person if they're voted, but if anybody asked if being wrong in general fucks anything up i sure missed it,]
no subject
I don't think so. I think that... it might be a problem depending on why exactly they killed. If it was someone who only wanted a memory back or something, that's one thing, but if it was someone who had some other goal in mind...
[ a pause. ]
But at the very least, there wasn't like, a giant disturbance or anything after that happened, so we're probably in the clear for now.
no subject
[good to know. a moment of consideration, before-]
I don't expect the answer to have changed, but given that this has continued, I do feel I should ask-- are we still to fend for ourselves, when it comes to self-defense?
[all these people that came with weapons or are jocks and here he is with none magic, he hates it, thank you.]
no subject
[ they turn away from the window. ]
I can't give you a weapon, if I try, it's...
[ there's a pause, and they hold their hands out--and then they're suddenly shocked, much like what happened when goat tried to break through the barrier at the removal. as soon as they put their hands down, it stops. ]
That. [ give them a second to recompose themself. ] But I'm not going to tell you not to be prepared.
no subject
[tiger? don't get yourself shocked, what the hell. he exhales a slow sigh, after that.]
...but I certainly intend to. Lacking magic is a far cry from simply lacking a sword, when one is already skilled in combat-- 'twould be far simpler if I could find a firearm.
[this is where i hate ff for making it canon that he can use guns. why did he need that. time to just bother chiron to make his ass a bow.]
I can make do with whatever may become available, however.
no subject
but they nod their head slowly. ]
Wherever the gateways open up to, I'll suggest looking through them as soon as possible. All the scalpels Kano got was from the station, so who knows what you'll be able to find in the future?
no subject
I had hoped not to need to make do with something quite that small. But next time, I suppose there will be little choice.
[avoiding being close enough to use one is preferable...]
As for further questions... I do wonder just how much of a problem these continued deaths truly are. If what we require is drawn to emotion, then should there be enough of a reaction-- well. It would seem a possibility that they could be useful in at least some way.
no subject
[ they seem to be genuinely thinking on the suggestion. ]
If we can figure out if there really is some deeper, secretive reason that Virid had, like a lot of people are speculating, it'll be easier.
no subject
[his arms fold, fingers of one tapping idly on the other.]
If we are to aim to gather as much nova as possible, then I have a theory as to how an order may be used. Prompt someone to kill-- specifically someone that others care for-- and, if successful, the result will be a chain of stronger emotional reactions. The realization when others begin to find the truth, those close to them perhaps trying to keep them safe from discovery should they notice... even the weight of it upon them after being driven to act, not to mention the emotions of their victim. This will not be positive, by any means, but if stronger emotions are necessary...
Then for the sake of what we are trying to accomplish, whatever they may go through means little in comparison to the results.
[he glances back to tiger, there.]
Off the mark, or potentially worth the effort? If it is unlikely to be worthwhile, then it may be too much of a risk.
no subject
The problem then is who would actually be willing to do that. Most of the people here seem to be fairly anti-murder, or at least in the sense that they would need a really good reason to do it.
[ they sigh. ]
So... I'm not saying that won't work, but more that getting someone to go along with it may be tricky.
no subject
[another moment of consideration for his wording, but- well, he's clearly been thinking about this.]
If it implants an urge to follow the directive, then if possible... the wording of it may be used to help with that little problem.
no subject
You could try to test out the wording at first. Pick something else that may be difficult to follow, and see what happens.
no subject
[that might be an entirely different story from simply an urge to kill.]
no subject
It's possible. Definitely test it out first to see, I think.
no subject
[a slight nod, with that. likely a better direction than just seeing outright if it works, given what he intends to do.]
Moving along, then. The last rule gave them a timeline. If I were to make one forbidding something, and someone were to break it-- would it have a more immediate sort of punishment? Or would it be delayed as well?
no subject
I think it'll be immediate, depending on how you format it, yeah. The current one, they won't receive their punishment until tomorrow.
no subject
['is he gonna try and ban anything useful' no it's intentional physical contact. which i guess could be useful depending on how murders go.
but he raises a brow-]
I do not believe I asked, before, what that punishment will be.
no subject
[ a pause. ]
Not sure how exactly that's going to manifest, but it'll be some way that's impossible to hide.
no subject
[emet, for one, will be very curious about it!]
Ah, and before I forget... I do believe you said you could begin providing some direction this week?
[yes hello he'd like to work on at least knowing when he is fucking with a teammate. no promises that he won't still do it.]
no subject
[ HMMM. ]
Someone who has probably heard a lot of pirate jokes.
no subject
It would make it too easy if you narrowed it down overmuch, wouldn't it.
no subject
no subject
[he finally turns from the window, there, leaning against it instead.]
Is there aught else which has changed, in the last week, or does everything proceed apace?
