Are You Infected? Day Fourteen - Emperor BID0
Posted: Sat Jul 25, 2015 11:31 am
The first group of people sent to colonise Mars was at first hailed as a great success. The group arrived, set up their new home and worked together in harmony to ensure that the colony could become a viable new home for humans.
And then on a routine scouting mission, one of the group found a vial lying in the Martian soil. The excitement of finding something so unexpected led to the coloniser rushing back to base, he tripped, the vial shattered and now he is infected with an alien parasite that has taken control of his body.
You are all part of the first manned mission to colonise Mars which has gone horribly wrong. When the vial was broken an Alpha parasite was released that infected the human and has taken over his mind. This infected looks normal, sounds normal and is acting normal but each night he will infect somebody else of his choosing, however the people he infects will be weaker and unable to infect anybody else.
Each and every night the Alpha will decide to infect another human. The Alpha will always know who he has infected, but the other infected will not know who the Alpha is (unless the Alpha chooses to reveal this information) and will be free to either hide from the other infected or to plot amongst themselves if they wish to reveal themselves to each other. The humans will not be informed who has been infected and will therefore be unable to fully trust each other even if somebody was proven to be uninfected the day before.
The infected might not hold all of the advantages, some of the humans have special skills that may aid them in the search for the Alpha but only if they use their skills wisely. The humans will also elect a leader each day who will choose somebody whom he suspects to be the Alpha, as leader for the day he may listen to other humans but he will decide who dies, the leader is elected democratically but does not have to listen to anyone once he has power. Steps will be taken to protect the leader, he will placed in an isolation tank for the night and no infections or other roles can touch him there.
The daily events are as follows (times are all based on the forum clock), the times given are deadlines, sending decision PMs or voting in-thread can all be sorted out earlier:
2pm: A leader must be elected by popular vote, failure to post in the thread the results of the vote will result in having no leader for the night. No exceptions.
6pm: The leader must send me a PM with the name of the person he wants to die. Failure to get the PM sent in time will result in no death that night. No exceptions.
7pm: The result of the leaders decision will be announced no later than this time. I am in charge so there are exceptions to this time if I am late or busy….
8pm: The Alpha must PM me with the name of the person he wants to infect. The only exception to this time is if I am late with the result of the lynching. Players will be informed if somebody has been infected but they will not be told who has now changed sides. The result will be announced as soon as possible.
9pm: Any special roles must send me a PM with their wishes. PMs received after this time will not be counted unless we are running late.
10pm: I will reveal any special role actions and the consequences of those actions no later than this time.
The game ends when one of the following conditions is met:
The infected outnumber the humans – the Alpha will seize control of the spaceships and return to Earth with his legion of infected. Humanity will be overrun and it will be all your fault.
The humans find and kill the Alpha – On the death of the Alpha, the other infected die instantly. Earth is saved and everybody lives happily ever after.
????? – There might be twists, tricks and surprises along the way that mean the first two win conditions are overruled or made irrelevant.
As usual in these games you are free to reveal your role (if any) but no screenshots of any game related PMs. You may chat to others via private message but again please no screenshots!
The first leader should be elected on Monday. The first person to be infected will be Sunday.
Good luck!
