Rules

Show

There are few things one can do in space, but for a group of interplanetary travelers, the ship they are on has been infested with the best and the worst space has had to offer. As both deaths occur and credits go missing, there’s only one thing you can do. Cause in space, no one can hear you scream….

Syndicate (Outlaws)

Spoiler

Show

Vicious - Syndicate Leader - When scried, looks like townsperson. Chooses members of the Red Dragon.
Red Dragons - (WereWolves for killing.) When the number of townspeople left = number of outlaws - Outlaws win.
Vicent Volaju - Sydicate Devil: Syndicate member who through underground resources can see who's who. Can’t tell how much money they hold.

Bernardelli Insurance Company (Bandits)

Spoiler

Show

Meryl Stryfe - Insurance leader - When scried, looks like a townsperson. Chooses employees to help her “collect” on debt owed for space travel.
Bernardelli employee - ("Werewolves" for stealing.) When the amount of credits = 85% of the total money left. The insurance company wins. Credits will go into a pool. If an employee is killed or lynched, the pool will lose money that employee is holding. If the company's locate Vash the Stampede. They can prevent him from protecting money (as he is easily distracted by the beautiful women). The money in it is still retained by the player, but the safe is no longer available for protection.
Milly Thompson - Company Devil – Investigates at night to see who is holding money, and how much. May also find where the Vash the Stampede is. Does not scry roles.

Adventurers (Good Guys!)

Spoiler

Show

Spike Spiegel – (Former Red Dragon – Seer): Since leaving the Red Dragons and becoming a bounty hunter, Spike knows how to spot a criminal just by looking them in the eye.
Faye Valentine – (Fool): Thinks she knows as much as the Spike does, but her inexperience is just too much to make a good judgment call.
Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV – (Day Baner): At night sends submission on who to protect from an ejection the next day. Ed is known to hack into and short out the airlock to protect someone from an ejection.
Jet Black – (Night Baner): Protect one person each night by bringing them into the holding station.
Vash the Stampede – (aka Banker - "Money" Baner): Can protect someone from getting robbed by causing a distraction thus forcing the insurance company to investigate elsewhere.
Bounty Hunters – (Masons): Trusted men who know each other and are looking for the reward of capturing the bad guys.
Adventurers – (Villagers): Want to keep their money and their lives.

Adventurers can transfer credits via PM to the narrators. If the Syndicate kills or Bernardelli’s take from a person exchanging money that night, the transfer fails (as if it never happened). When you transfer money, your name will be given to the person you transfer to. Both will receive the PM. example: Supagoof gives 5 coins to Raldor.

Everyone starts with coins (via PM and at random). Syndicate and Bernardelli’s are to be hung for killing or taking. They can also rob and kill themselves, but hopefully will have protection when they do so. When number of Bad Guys = 0, Ship wins. Anytime someone dies, the money and stuff they are holding is lost to the auction.

The asteroid belt! (dessert) Each day, you can choose to go search the the asteroid belt for lost loot. The belt will have loot from killed persons placed at random on asteroids amongst it, along with profits from the store. Each day you can publically post which asterroid of the belt you want to search by posting the name/number in blue. First one to search an asteroid shall receive what loot lies in it. The number of asteroids in the belt is determined by number of players in the game. Like 30 alive = 30 searchable asteroids....ANY TREASURE NOT FOUND WILL AUTOMATICALLY FLOW INTO THE INSURANCE COMPANY’S POCKET. That is a change from the last game, and will help the insurance company keep on track this time. So, it pays to search!

Space Station! A small store in which you can spend your credits on useful items. Things like maps to find where stuff is buried, bullets for your pistols to kill anyone who sneaks into your barrack, a detective kit to figure out someone’s role, and others to be placed into the store. To purchase an item simply PM a narrator. Prices subject to change daily upon availability of items. Credits spent at the store is buried by store-keeper in the planet. Items in store may not be traded.

Bounty Hunters TV Show! (Auction) Every time someone is killed, their stuff goes up for sale on the Bounty Hunters TV Show auction. Players can bid on the items publicly to obtain what the person had – including money and stuff bought at store. Highest bidder wins the loot. Winner is annouced at day’s end.

Days to last 48 hours. Nights to last 24 hours.

I'll post the starting number of total credits at the beginning of the game, for those who want to keep track. Gold from YOW2 will be exchanged for a given as Credit in YOW3. Those who were in YOW2 will have 1 more credit given as reward for playing. Those who won YOW2 will have their credits from last game +1 for winning.

So sign up, pick a surname, and get ready for some "jazzy" space cowboy action.

I think is time to blow this thing, get everybody the stuff together.
Okay 3, 2, 1 Let's Jam

You've barely been abourd the Bebop for 4 hours, when you hear a struggle echoing through the halls. Rushing to where the noise is coming from, all you find is a trail of blood. The blood leads to an airlock. Floating just outside of the airlock, the figures of Supagoof and Raldor float lifelessly. Inside the airlock, written on the wall

We'll find your bounty hunters, even if we have to kill everyone aboard this ship. You can't hide from the Red Dragon Syndicate

As you turn from the sight, you spot on the ship floor the wallets of Supagoof and Raldor. You grab them to search them for any clue as to why the Red Dragon Syndicate would want to kill them or who else they are after. The only thing you find are notes from the Bernadelli Insurance Group.

In reference to your claim regarding the loss of your home to miscreant distruction. We have found no evidence to support this claim. In fact, due to our extensive research into this issue, we have determined that you owe us money regarding this matter. For that, we have sent agents with you and have seized all your assets and credits. Thanks for your business!

Bernadelli Insurance Group

Ooh, that really makes you mad! You aren't sure which crooks are worse, the Crime Syndicate or the Thieving Insurance Company. one thing you do know, is that they are onboard the Bebop, and you want them off before they come for you.

Glancing back out the airlock, you see the bodies float toward an asteroid belt. Perhaps checking out there may lead to some clues or even something that Supagoof and Raldor may have had when they were ejected. You try to see what asteroid they float towards, but to no avail. Oh well, if you're going to go find out, guess you'll have to grab your small jet pack and fly out to one to look more closely.

Summary:
Supagoof and Raldor have been killed and ripped off! (Surprise ). Get the people responsible for their deaths and thefts before they get to you.

To search an asteroid, pick a name from the following list and post it in blue in the thread.

[Cristo Meyers]

Well this makes things interesting...

Jinx sure as hell wasn't going to wait around, not with this motley group on board. Might as well head out and look around. Thule looked interesting.

((might as well get the party started: welcome to the game newbie point at alexeduardo))

[Indurain]

Ceres

Indurain stretches and walks about the ship. Watching the going ons as people head out to search large pieces of rock. He watches intently, looking for the slightest slip-up. A piece of evidence, no matter how small. He sense some foul play coming from that Shadow guy, but before he can approach him, Shadow disappears.

"Distraction is a common technique used by guilty people, and magicians. So...which one are you Llama? Let's see some magic..."

Indurain points at Atreyu.

[ThePhantom]

Tom the musician stares out one of the windows at the asteroids. Sirene, like the singer who drove sailors to their deaths.
alexeduardo

[Reinholdt]

((Bacchus. Point and RP soon.))

[Alarra]

I would like to search Astrea please.
(Point coming later.)

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

(Hmmm...... the first day point is usually pretty rough, but this time, I think its rather simple. Zombie Pixie has been autolynched in the last 3 games he's been in and I'm thinking he'd be autolynched in this one if we gave him a chance. However, I don't want to give him that chance. I point at Zombie Pixie!)

I'll search Stiens

[smellie_hippie]

Raldor! Goof!! Noooooooooo!! Whose gon' keep up tha shipments of plonk and champagne!? This is no' a good thing... no' at all. Did any'uns see what 'appened?

*hippie glances across the faces of the corwd, looking for the tell-tale twitch of guilt. seeing none he singles out the first person to arrive on the scene.*

Emporer Demonking, you got here first. What 'appened? (no evidence for this point)

*while discussing these concerns, hippie plots his course to search the asteroid Lo for any evidence or random treasure*

OOC: Any problem with my flavor text being in blue in addition to my asteroid search?

[Shadow]

Man, I knew getting this bounty wasn't going to be easy, but now the Read Dragons and the Insurance Company are here?
What have I gotten myself into...?

The one known only as the Shadow slips through the ship, barely noticed by the other passengers, until he realizes that he's being followed by a dog.

Get outta here, mutt! Leave me alone, he whispers.

Ein, com'ere boy, a voice calls from around the corner. This allows the Shadow to slip away again to check Brucia.

((hipster, I'd bold (as you did) AND italicize the search so hat it's a bit easier to see))

((Oh, and anyone want to play the Shadow's potential bounty? Just post as such and we'll take it from there.))

[Emperor Demonking]

Thephantom

A good target to recruit and he was quick to put a second vote on.

[Reinholdt]

((Oh, and anyone want to play the Shadow's potential bounty? Just post as such and we'll take it from there.))

((Hmm. Maybe. What is it? And why do I get a feeling of dread just from it's name?))

[Dr. Bath]

Weell, well well. What 'ave we 'ere? People already dyin'? Thievin' mongrels nickin' their loot? Can't be 'avin' that now can we. Better make the best of it I 'spose. says Cuthbert Grundles a short man wearing a worn waistcoat and the tatty remains of a suit. He jumps into a small shuttle, smacking into Jinx (Cristo Meyers) on the way, to search the asteroid China.

I'll be richer'n King Soloman!

[Recaiden]

I guess i should try and get what i can to survive this. I doubt many of us will make it out. That Jinx (Cristo Meyers's character) seems pretty eager to get out to the asteroids.

No evidence for this, just a random point.

I go off to search Phaeton.

[Cristo Meyers]

Jinx lets the man by without a word, some things just weren't worth getting into conflict over. He's just about to head out to the hanger when he spots someone trying their damnedest to get rid of a small dog.

Bounty hunters...great...

This was just all kinds of trouble, dodging Red Dragons was bad enough, but the bounty hunters were just a headache Jinx didn't need.

Best lay low a bit...

((in other words, catch me if you can, Shadowman (or catch Reinholdt if he wants since he kinda stepped up first, either way...)))

[Shishnarfne]

Hmm.. I'll take Hektor and ThePhantom for day one, Trebek...

And maybe I'll come up with an RP concept...

[Shadow]

((Hmm. Maybe. What is it? And why do I get a feeling of dread just from it's name?))

((I'm playing an independent bounty hunter - target - as yet undecided. All it means is we play a game of cat and mouse onboard until one of us dies.
Gunfights and various battles to ensue, surely.))

((Cristo: A double bounty may work for me. Let's go!))

[Supagoof]

Raldor! Goof!! Noooooooooo!! Whose gon' keep up tha shipments of plonk and champagne!? This is no' a good thing... no' at all. Did any'uns see what 'appened?

*hippie glances across the faces of the corwd, looking for the tell-tale twitch of guilt. seeing none he singles out the first person to arrive on the scene.*

Emporer Demonking, you got here first. What 'appened? (no evidence for this point)

*while discussing these concerns, hippie plots his course to search the asteroid Lo for any evidence or random treasure*

OOC: Any problem with my flavor text being in blue in addition to my asteroid search?

Not if it's proceeded by "search the asteroid"

[Zar Peter]

hmm... I'll point at Errata and search for Zombie Pixe.

No, I'll search for Erata and point at Zombie Pixe.

And the Vulcanian wants to buy Ed's Makeshift Radar, since it only costs 1 gc.

Live long and prosper!

[ThePhantom]

What did I do that makes some people seem to think that I work for the insurance company or that I'm a criminal? Maybe I better find someplace on the ship to lay low for a while.

[alexeduardo]

(okay, i'm new here so be patient.
I point at zombie pixie, since everyone seems to be doing it.

And I go search for Eureka, or not, I dont really understand the rules)

Mr. Sanchez arrives in his motor wheelchair, holding his handgun with one hand. Paranoid and delusional, he's ready to pop at any moment.

He heads to the bathroom, groaning at the prospect of lifting himself back and forth

[TRM]

Blanks swaggers through the crowd and seizes his jet pack from the racks on the wall. He flips his blond hair out of his eyes and spits heavily on the floor as he straps it on. "Their ain't no point in sticking round this corpse-hole ship while there's real credits to beee found. I'm off to explore Dactyl." His final words are cut off as he briskly snaps his helmet shut and starts off for the asteroid.

[Reinholdt]

((Yay! Gunfights and hilarious yet harmless battles. At least until someone gets hurt... I'm in.))

Phil figured it was best to leave as quick as possible. The less people around, the less chance of him getting discovered.

First murderers, then thieves. He already was in enough trouble for that one night. Granted it was a very fun night. But he didn't mean to blow up the building. It just sort of... happened. The girl he got was totally worth it, though. Until her brother, some bounty hunter, found out and decided Phil was worth both the money and the vengeance.

Just about to step in the hanger when he hears a dog bark. When he turns, Phil sees...HIM! The Bounty Hunter! "Gah!" he almost says. Phil recognized him from his sister's photo. Jumping backward, he quickly closes the door and moves to get to Bacchus right away.

"Did he see me? Does he know my face? Of course he does, there's a bounty. Think. Think. Think. I've changed hair color and style. Grown a beard. Changed my clothes. What else can I do? I'm stuck with him for a while. I know, shaded goggles! That'll confuse him."

Phil rides out to Bacchus, scheming his survival.

((First day random point at Radikal Skippy))

[Supagoof]

Sorry Zar Peter, apparently I missed a "|" break. That's one Ed's Makeshift Radar at 30 credits.

But mistakes happen. Like the asteroid your are searching for is actually Erato, not Erata or Errata.

Since you found my mistake, I'll mark you down as searching Erato

[Zar Peter]

Sorry Zar Peter, apparently I missed a "|" break. That's one Ed's Makeshift Radar at 30 credits.

But mistakes happen. Like the asteroid your are searching for is actually Erato, not Erata or Errata.

Since you found my mistake, I'll mark you down as searching Erato

That's very logical of you! Thank you very much.

Live long and prosper!

[Shadow]

Sonuva... I won't even keep the money for this one. This'll be pure pleasure.
Searching for Phil, the one known as the Shadow spies Jinx sliding into the hanger out of the corner of his eye.
Humph! This trip may turn out to be a two-fer! That good fer nothin' has a pretty penny attached to his hide.

Stepping slowly down the corridor, Shadow peers sround the corner into the hanger. Jinx is nowhere to be seen.
Where the blazes did he go?

[Murska]

Kromenz, I suppose.

[Griever]

Gauke. (rp and point to come)

[Vavaara]

((I'll search Vesta. Same as Griever, RP to come. I am, however, pointing. CN is Vatsala Hlaalu, as usual. Also resurecting an old feud with Ranna stemming from Nexus of the Future ))

*Vatsala is suspicious of Ranna*

*Vatsala pilots her ship and searches Vesta for goods*

[Freshmeat]

In a corner of the spaceship, a lone gunman is compulsively spinning his revolver, contemplating this unexpected turn of events.
Running into the Syndicate was bad news and the Bernadelli group wasn't to be trifled with either. To actually have both of them take such an interest in the Bebop, at the same time no less, was quite unusual.

Shooting a glance at the man standing nearest to him, who turns out to be Shishnarfne, the gunman decides to try his luck today in the Veritas asteroid belt.
