I plan to make the announcement around my lunchtime, or possibly when I get home from school. We were just pretty much checking to make sure some of y'all were still alive.

NOT SO FAST, BUCKO.

Ahem.

GM ANNOUNCEMENT

Alright, time for that announcement. Well, after a long delay due to numerous factors I don't wish to divulge on, I am happy to announce that I am currently typing up the signup for A Game of Lies, the third installment in the A Game Of Chance series.

This prequel installment will be taking place in Chicago during The Roaring '20s, a time of both prosperity and vice. Really, with the large criminal underground hiding behind all the prosperity, it seemed like the perfect time period for the game to take place. And after much careful consideration, we decided it was the best option there was. And by that I mean I was struck with some very last-minute inspiration while playing Pokémon and when I brought it up with CG she was just like, "OKAY!"

Anywho, the theme this time around are the angelic hierarchies: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Rulers, Archangels, and Angels. This means there will be a total of nine contestants. Each contestant will be given a ring with the hierarchy associated with them engraved into it.

Also, new Orchestrator for this one. Who I like to call the Trollchestrator.

In addition, vets that may want to let more newbies in due to the lower player cap may be given NPC roles if they so choose.

Well, it has certainly been a long time since I posted here, but the way you put it, I have the upmost interest in joining.

Can I reserve a slot?

I'm split between contestant and NPC.

If we have enough people interested, we might change the theme to the other Biblical one we had in mind to bump the player count up to 13 or 14.

I am reserving SO HARD right now, if possible.

I am tempted to make Sadako, the character, except I've never seen The Ring!

Me too, though I'm willing to go into NPC mode if we end up being short on spots.

I'd like to reserve a spot too, and I promise to keep up with the RP better this time... :/

I already have a slot, just so you guys know. I even started on a profile.

Since I have not gotten any sleep over this entire week, I'm going to take a nap. Night.

That's 7/9 if we keep with the angelic hierarchies. I'm thinking of possibly switching to the Apostles in that case, since I don't want to alienate potential new players.

Noted and reserved.

I counted you amongst the seven. So yes.

Also, formally switching it to the Apostles.

Double Post for a quick poll: Would a power based on the amount of alcohol currently in your blood stream be too over-the-top?

[up] Yes, alcohol content based powers seems more than over the top.

What are the rules concerning NP Cs? If I get to use one of my own character, I might consider controlling one—or a duo.

On alcohol, we may run into some problems, especially with the younger contestants. On the other hand, it paves the way for puns. waii

That was pretty much just a joke. I'm figuring out the powers before I throw up a signup in case it gets rolling faster than expected, and I got bored and took a break by thinking of some utterly silly powers that could relate to the Apostle. Another one that came to mind was the ability to summon a rubber chicken at will and yet another was the ability to ignite your head, and only your head, on fire.

Note that those are silly and in no way your actual powers.

My day: come home from school, check my watchlist, go to sleep at 4PM, wake up at 11:30PM, type out a reply to Character Dream, then come here.

And since it is now 1:30AM, I'm going back to sleep! See you all tomorrow! *SLEEPS*

So, do we have a verdict on this?

The setting could still be a big city, but other inhabitants are only there for scenery. Someone has to run the restaurants and hotels and coffee shops, after all. They don't speak to the players if spoken to. The police are blind to the activities of the contestants. That should be explained in the Orchestrator's text, probably.

Because if the police can just come in and arrest a bunch of people again then I don't know if I want to participate.
