Quick Fix Game 71: 5D Shard Game With Multiverse Time Travel*

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Deicide.

It’s not a word you hear every day, but it’s the only one adequate in your present situation.

No doubt the news has already overrun T’Telir like wildfire.

Those who Return always do die eventually, of course – some believe it is the calling and purpose behind their second life, to offer their divine breath as a blessing to others. But the breath of Dawntrue the Merciful was casually and blasphemously extinguished with the twist of a knife.

Worse, it was one of his own priests that did him in, or so all the evidence suggests. Who else would have that level of access to the palace? Who else would know when and where to find Dawntrue alone?

You are in mourning, and you have politely but firmly been refused the right to leave the palace grounds. You have each other’s company, and the knowledge that some of you are murderers.

Factions

Priests - Win by eliminating the Heretics.

Heretics - Win by outnumbering the Priests.

Core Rules

• The game is divided into 24 hour cycles.
• Every cycle there’s an execution vote. Two vote minimum. Ties decided randomly.
• Every cycle the heretics can choose one player to kill.
• Everyone gets 1 PM. You can include as many others as you want, you can open it whenever you want, but you get to create exactly 1 PM in the course of the game.
• If there is a Day 1 execution, the victim is flipped normally but becomes Returned. They can no longer vote or take actions and don’t count towards win conditions, but they are unkillable and untargetable, and they can still speak.
• The last 2 members of the Heretic faction left standing become Lovers. If one dies, they both die.

Roles

High Priest: In order to perform your duties, you possess the Third Heightening. This allows you to distinguish colors particularly well, especially green from red. You may visit another player every cycle. Every visit after your first, you learn if the player you visited has the same alignment as the previous player you visited.

❁

I will plan to close signups on May 5 at 6:00 UTC, and start the game an hour after that.

Rollovers will generally occur at 7:00 UTC.

Rules Clarifications

  Hide contents

• I mean, it's true from a certain point of view... there's a Shard, and there's time travel into the future.........
• If you ask me for a player minimum I will probably bite you
• OOAs aren’t real and can’t hurt you (unlike me if you ask for a player minimum - see above clarification)
• Once you create your one (1) complimentary PM, you can't add people to it after the fact
• If you're Returned, don't be concerned! You aren't quite dead, don't lose your head! Even though you died you can still confide in people. You can use PMs the same as anyone else.

Im in

[Kidpen he/him]

Tethan was shocked when he heard the news. A god, dead by the hands of her priests-and not just any god, his old god. This might just be enough to bring him out of his very longstanding retirement....

Hello! I have been craving murder and lies lately. I'm in

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I'll be the IM for this game unless it comes out short on players.

[Aeternum]

Count me in

what you should have said is "IM the IM" smhhh

Glad to have someone keeping the wheels on this clown car, though

[Weaver of Shadows he/him]

I have not played one of these before, but I’d love to try it.

[DrakeMarshall he/him]

Fresh bloo- I mean, recruit!

This is a good game to cut your teeth on, probably, but you'll probably also have questions because SE players are weird, so don't hesitate to ask them to me or other players

[Aeoryi she/her]

Oh look an ad! Wonder what happens when I click on it-

(Joins game)

The next one will just be me, since my hair will be about the next stage in a couple weeks.

Or not. Buzz is superior after all.

[Through the Living Hope]

This seems interesting! Count me in!

[Cash67]

Why not, I'm in. Need something to do now that I ain't teaching
