Octopus Overlords

Good Guys

1. 
2. Bruce Wayne / Batman - Psycologically damaged at a young age when he witnessed the murder of his parents, Bruce Wayne has grown to be a playboy, industrialist, and philanthropist by day while spending his nights playing a Super Hero without any Super Powers. Dressed in molded body armor and a stylish black cape, this Dark Knight will not rest until the people of Gotham City are safe from masked men. Er, evil masked men.
   • Each night, can spy on one person and see if they are the Joker.
   • Immune to sniping while Lucius lives
   • Can PM with Rachel
   
   
   
3. Rachel Dawes - An Assistant District Attorney in Gotham City, Rachel is also a childhood friend of Bruce Wayne. Upon learning of Bruce's alter ego, Rachel placed Bruce firmly in the friend zone until he agreed to give up his night job for good. In the meantime, she is swept up in a work place romance with the current District Attorney Harvey Dent and eventually engaged. Knowing that a girl has to keep her options open, however, Rachel has both Bruce and Harvey on her speed dial.
   • Can PM with Batman
   • Can PM with Harvey Dent
   
   
   
4. Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth - The Wayne family butler, Alfred has known Bruce for his entire life. After the death of Bruce's parents, Alfred developed an extremely close (some say fatherly - others just snicker) relationship with Bruce. A true renaissance man, Alfred has continued to advance his learning so that he is now able to maintain the Wayne estate, the Bat Cave, and act as Bruce's personal physician when ointment application is required. True to the legend of hired help everywhere, however, Alfred's most valuable skill is his ability to learn the truth about anyone from his vast network of gossip mongers.
   • Each night, can learn the role of one person in the morgue.
   
   
   
5. Commissioner James W. Gordon, Sr. - Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department, Gordon's main goal in life is to protect the people of Gotham from evil. Selfless to a fault, Gordon has often said he would even be willing to take a bullet for another. Understanding the crucial difference between "selfless" and "stupid", Gordon never leaves the house without his bulletproof vest.
   • Protects one person each night, but not same person on consecutive nights.
   • Being an excellent detective, he Will know if the protection was successful.
   • Will automatically protect Harvey Dent one time from sniper and be reborn next day (can't be killed the night of death and doesn't get a vote during the day he's dead)
   • If he is protecting the target of Two Face, and the coin flip says the target dies, then Gordon dies in the target's place.
   • If the coin flip says the target lives, both target and Gordon live.
   
   
   
6. Lucius Fox - As the Business Manager for Wayne Enterprises and the Wayne Estate, Lucius took a crumbling empire and made it profitable once more. Bruce's confidant, Lucius is responsible for developing the techonogy that keeps the Dark Knight alive. Realizing which side his bread is buttered on, Lucius frequently works through the night to safeguard his Boss' wellbeing.
   • Ostensibly developed to fight "terrorism", the Wayne Enterprise's Full Body Scanner can be focused on one player each night to look for a Sniper Rifle.
   • As far as you know, all images are deleted at sunrise.
   
   
   
7. Harvey Dent - The District Attorney for Gotham City, Harvey is believed to be the Gotham's most honest citizen and has been called the White Knight. Never one to sidestep the hard jobs, Dent currently as an open investigation into corruption in the Gotham Police Department. In his free time, he fantasizes about his upcoming nuptials with the love of his life, Rachel Dawes. In a quiet moment, Dent has admitted to himself that if Rachel ever left him for any reason, he would go insane. Literally.
   • Each night, examines the DA files on one citizen looking for the corrupt cop - Ramirez.
   • Can PM with Rachel to his heart's desire
   • Becomes Two Face if Rachel is Killed

Out for Revenge


Two Face - The psycopath formerly known as Harvey Dent created when Batman chose to save Dent and leave Rachel to Commissioner Gordon. As a former DA, Two Face knows justice is nothing more than a coin flip and he has cast himself in the roles of jury, judge, and executioner. Knowing he can never get true justice for Rachel, he will settle for judging those responsible for her death.

• If Rachel killed by the lynch mob, Two Face hunts for Batman & Gordon
• If Rachel killed by the Joker's mob, Two Face hunts for Joker, Batman, & Gordon
• Hunt is performed by kidnapping one player each night and interogating them.
  • If a powered player found - Two Face learns their role
  • Hunt Targets are immediately killed
  • All other Powered Good and Bad players have a 50/50 chance of death (determined by random.org)
  • Civilians are never harmed
• Will win game when Targets are dead

Bad Guys

1. 
2. The Joker - The Joker has his picture in the dictionary next to psycopath. Intent on creating as much chaos as possible, the Joker is the perfect villan for a powerless Super Hero in that he has no innate power other than that of his warped imagination. For entertainment, he has decided to rule Gotham City and knows that he must first eliminate the uncorruptible District Attorney and the chief vigilante. He hasn't been this excited since the day he got his beautiful smile...
   • Each night, chooses which citizen to kill
   • After the kill, the Joker uses his underworld gang to learn if a living citizen is either Batman and Harvey Dent
   • Can PM with other Bad Guys
   
   
   
3. Sniper - When the Joker broke into the Gotham City jail looking for recruits, this imposing figure agreed to join his gang as part of its innovatve "work release" program. Convicted of jaywalking and sentenced to life in prison by a city fed up with crime, this once model citizen is out for revenge on the guy who brought him in and has been entrusted with a sniper rifle to do so. Failing that, he'll be perfectly content to take out anyone eligible for jury duty.
   • After the Joker's kill, uses the underworld network to search for Commissioner Gordon
   • One time during the game, may use his gun to shoot one citizen. Unsurprisingly, there will be no eye witnesses willing to identify the shooter.
   • Can PM with other Bad Guys
   
   
   
4. Officer Ramirez - Early in her career, Officer Ramirez was smitten by the youngest DA is Gotham City history. Eventually working up the courage to approach Dent, her offer was politely declined as she learned he was already engaged to that hussy Rachel. Approached by the Joker's minions a short time later, she could think of no better way to get revenge than joining his gang. Now she uses the Gotham PD to identify the gangs victims all the while hoping to one day find her arch nemesis.
   • Before the Joker's kill increases activity in the department, Ramirez can scan the files on one of the resident's of the morgue.
   • After the Joker's kill, she can use the department to investigate one citizen to determine and learn if they are that hussy Rachel Dawes
   • Can PM with other Bad Guys

The order of precedence for choosing the Night kill is

1. The Joker
2. The Sniper
3. Officer Ramirez

The Citizens

The inhabitants of Gotham City are a motely bunch who really want nothing more than to go about their pathetic little lives in peace. Now that the Joker is in town, this simple wish is clearly nothing more than a pipe dream and all of their energies are spent making sure they are alive to wake up each morning.

Victory Conditions

• Good wins with the elimination of Team Joker.
• Team Joker wins when their number match or exceed the number of Good Guys (Two-Face counts for Good).
• Two-Face wins when his targets are eliminated (Batman/Gordon or Batman/Gordon/Joker).

After each lynch, it will be announced if the player was

• A Citizen
• A Criminal

Two Face & Havey Dent will show as a Citizen.

General Information

• The only votes that will be counted are those made using the  accuse tag

Hi!

So are we starting in the day or night cycle?

Isgrimnur wrote:So are we starting in the monthly cycle?

Ewwwww.

Good question. Stessier?

Another one - would you like questions for the Mod highlighted

Isgrimnur wrote:So are we starting in the day or night cycle?

Starting with the night cycle. I'll roll it as quick as possible once I have the orders (since the night cycle doesn't even start until everyone has their PM, I don't think this should give anyone information).

theohall wrote:Another one - would you like questions for the Mod highlighted

Yes, that would be good.

Is this when you guys do all your anagrams to indicate your role later on? Or do you save that for the second page?

Hmm.

Yes was a prog rock band, but Harvey Dent wasn't a progressive-minded DA (politically), so that's out. Oh, but they were founded by Chris Squire. Chris Squire shares a first name with Christian Bale...!!

Am I doing it right?

whY arE you aSking? ShouldN't you knOw this already? Just because you were skipping class for the past couple of months is no reason to forget the curriculum.

zomg this was my first chance to check in.. I sure hope that didn't raise suspicion. But seriously...I'm pretty excited. I just hope I live past the first night.

I didn't know there was a monkey role in this game.

I can only image that the fellows who are Batman and Joker are killing themselves to not roleplay their roles.

Purple monkey dishwasher! Wash thy soldier! eheehahaHOOHOOHEEHEE!!!

Am I the Joker... or am I only JOKING?

"Who are you?"

"I want you to tell all your friends about me..."

By day, the streets of Gotham City are no different than those of any other large city. Important people walk with purpose intent on doing important things. Petty criminals carry out petty crimes. Babies are born, mothers weep and fathers beam with pride.



By night, the City sleeps in peace, safe in the knowledge that a mysterious Caped Crusader will guard them from harm.

This night, however, will be different.



A new force has entered Gotham bringing with him promises of chaos and mayhem.



The once familiar and comforting signal soon lights up the night sky - a call to battle for the agents of Law and Order as they marshal their forces to meet this new threat. Cowering in their beds, important people, petty criminals, mothers, fathers, and babies alike pray that their heroes come through quickly before the death toll rises so high that all hope is lost.

All you have to do is look at Scoops Avatar to realize he's cross a RP'ing line that he will never return from. I fear for him.

we could have an intervention!

and get it on lifetime or something!

Processing...

After a peaceful night, the city awakes with a





The Gotham City News later reported that only one person was killed in the blast - Mr. Newcastle. Funeral services are on hold for the duration of the crisis.

In other news, a lynch mob is forming in the streets in an attempt to take back the Gotham City. The police are powerless to stop them. It looks like someone will die before the sun sets.
