Date: Summer of 1983
Location: Camp Red Cedar

   Oh, look! You made it. Just in time for orientation!   

A young adult in tube socks and a sunset t-shirt stands in front of a barren flagpole amid unfettered woods, their glasses unleashing a blinding light in the summer sun. In the distance, you see buildings - at least, shells of ones. Whatever this place is, it clearly hasn't been used in years. This definitely isn't the right place.

   I'm [incomprehensible], but you may call me the Counselor    they say before motioning to a grinning young man in sunglasses.

   And this is Jamie, my counselor-in-training, or CIT if you're lazy. We are both very excited to have you here! We hope you have fun during your stay at Camp Red Cedar... because this summer might just be your last.   

    Your lovely hosts

    What's this? 
This is a murdergame. In other words, it's a Mafia-style play-by-post game with roleplay elements. Like the other murdergames, this takes inspiration from Awe921's A Game of Mafia as well as slasher films of the 1980's.
    Da Rulez™ 
1. Please, for the love of god, no godmodding. Violators will have their characters publicly drawn and quartered (No, really), and you will be banned from any future iterations of the game.

2. If you sign up, participate as best as you can. Don't sign up and then abandon the thread. Violators who do not post for over 48 hours will also have their characters publicly drawn and quartered and will be removed from the round. Don't do it. Also, if you must take an absence from the thread for more than 48 hours, please contact the hosts.

3. 'If your character is dead, do not post in the thread. However, you are free to spectate. Furthermore, do not tell players who the murderers are or give away clues outside of the thread. If we catch you, your character will be publicly drawn and quartered and you be permanently banned from the game.

4. PM all night actions to the hosts. Do not post in the thread during the night phase.

5. No stalling, please. If no deaths happen for 2 day and 2 night phases in a row, the team with the most recent kill wins.

6.'Remain in character in the thread.

7. Votes will be formatted as /vote [name]. Players can retract their vote at any time. Execution will be done by majority vote. Once the majority vote is reached, you cannot retract your vote and the execution will proceed.

8. When killing a player, describe how you murder them. Also, please make your murders nasty, this is based on slasher films after all.

9. Remember, this game takes place in the summer of 1983. Try not to be anachronistic. However, characters from works created after 1983 are 100% allowed, they can easily be explained away with time travel. Anachronism gags are also allowed if your characters time traveled.

    Roles 
There are 2 teams: The Slashers (who want to kill) and the Campers (who want to stop and execute the slashers). The game ends when either team is of equal size.

   Slasher   

You’re a maniac, maniac, on the floor and you’re slashin’ like you’ve never slashed before! You will kill anyone who gets in your way with murderous intent. However, you share this role with two other people. Only one of you can kill per night, and even then you’re limited to a single kill in a single night. The only other restriction you have is, when killed, never use guns. Ever seen a slasher movie where the killer just shoots people and leaves? Yeah, I thought so. Besides, killing at close range is much more fun…

Camper

Help, I’ve stepped into the Twilight Zone!
A role with no special abilities or conditions applied. You’re just… here, trying to survive.

Investigator

Private eyes, they’re watching you
Look at you, playing Sherlock Holmes! Each night, you may request to see the roles of one player. From there you will be given one of five possible roles that player could have.

Camp Nurse

Doctor, doctor, give me the news
You can attempt to heal one person once per night, negating any attempts on their life during that night. You can also heal yourself if you so choose.

Vigilante

Wanted: dead or alive
Time for some vigilante justice, baby! Each night you may shoot someone. If the person you shoot is innocent, you will die. Choose your target wisely.

Bold Action Man

Alright, here I come!
You’ve seen enough action movies to think you’re qualified to be a good hero. Each night, you may protect one person of your choice. If your protectee is targeted, both you and the slasher die. If your protectee is a slasher, you will die. If the slasher targets you, only you will die and your protectee will be safe. On the off chance you protect a slasher, a medic heals the slasher AND the slasher attempts a kill, you protect the medic and die with the slasher.

Stalker

I always feel like somebody’s watching me…
Every move they make, every step they take, you’ll be watching them. You can look at the camera feed of any room of your choice once per night. However, you can only do this 4 times per round, so make your stalking skills count!

Defender

I need a hero!
You’re brave. You’re bold. Well, maybe not as bold as the Bold Action Man, but still. You can choose one person to protect twice per game. If a slasher targets the person you’re protecting, both of you will survive.

Lucky Bastard

You don’t mess around with Jim
You’re one lucky mofo and you know it. Twice per game you can use your ridiculous luck, and any attempt on your life that doesn’t explicitly ignore your luck will be thwarted. Hope you packed your lucky rabbit’s foot for this.

Name: William Henry Harrisphere

Gender: Male

Species: Obscure American Politician

Age: 68

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download20201100180924.png

Name: Kennifer

Gender: Female

Species: Human? Vampire? Probably a human pretending to be a vampire. Or something.

Age: Don't you know it's not polite to ask a lady her age? She looks to be around 28 though.

Abilities: Managing to be ambitious and lazy at the same time, however that works. Also good at drinking wine but I'm not sure that counts as an ability.

Other: Pretend the above image has ridiculously big 80's-era Farrah Fawcett hair. Also she's probably responsible for the hole in the ozone layer. Can be a bit of The Gadfly if the mood strikes. Will speak in purple text.

Stupid doomed timeline...

#5: Dec 7th 2020 at 1:50:57 PM

Name: Haruhi Suzumiya

Appearance: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/haruhi2.png

Species: Human? Goddess? God-Mode Sue? Let's just say human goddess.

Age: Attends high school, so... around 16? She might be older due to the whole Reality Warper thing... Let's just stick to 16-ish for now.

Abilities: She's a Reality Warper, but isn't aware that she is. She's still The Ace.

Other: She once made it so that summer repeated on loop. 15,532 times. She's actually from the 2000s to 2010s, and actually subconsciously teleported herself to 1983. Somehow. Speaks in gold.

Gender: Male

Species: Human

Age: 23

Abilities: Is good with a gun and that's about it.

Name: Henry the Green Engine

Gender: Male

Species: Steam Engine (LMS Stanier Class 5 “Black Five”)

Age: 101

Abilities: Can only travel on rails, not solid ground.

He is usually ill-tempered, but has a soft side and loves nature most of all.
