Quick Fix Game 7: Living (and Dying) Rough

[Lord Pifferdoo he/him]

What have I done?

[Lightsworn Panda he/him]

Requesting to change my character into a Panda with a Phd in Biomedicine.

[Haelbarde he/him]

Rab Heatherlocke could no longer wear his lawmanbadge for the time being, and nor could he look at it. He decided he needed something else. He would fabricate something new and wonderful. He found some tools (masking tape and a permanent marker) and got to work. Hours later (spent finding a dictionary, and then trying to read the stupid thing), it was done! A new BADGE. It read 'DrRab'. "I AM A DOCTOR!" He proclaimed at the top of his voice, to the empty room. He carefully affixed his shiny (matte) new badge (tape with writing on it) to his doctors coat (a canary yellow jacket he'd found once), and put on his coat. "Now let it be know that I am the Dr Rab Heatherlocke!"

 

Requesting change of name to Dr Rab Heatherlocke. You can choose whether or not there is a space between 'Dr' and 'Rab'.

 

Edit:

 

Dramatis Personae - A List of Characters

    ....

    7. Rab Heatherlocke (Haelbarde) - A Man With a Badge (Not His Own)

    ....

 

For the record, it's more 'Maybe Not His Own'. He could actually be a lawman you see, or might once have been a lawman. Though it is true that his current position on the ownership of the badge would be 'Mine in that I posses it, but not Mine in that it was not given to me'.

What's going on here? How is everyone becoming a Doctor? I actually had to go to school for years to become one!

[phattemer]

Doctor is axe? decided he didn't want to go by his victim's last words. He is thrice- wait four times- wait five times- oh whatever, I can't count them, the doctor any of you are. The Honorable Sir Maestro Dr. Brightlord Seixa, Ph.D., M.D., LL.B., J.D., D.Phil., O.D., Psy.D., D.D.S., D.C., D.P.M., D.V.M., Pharm.D., N.D., S.J.D., Esq. walked through the crowd, noting with pleasure the way the Muggles got out of his way. He had used Pompousus Maximus to display his title in flashing red letters above his head.

Technically you just sent clones to school for you.

 

And I'm going to stay as Suspicious Man, rather than becoming a doctor.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

But, to be clear, you might be a doctor. It's really impossible to say. Right?

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

Well, no one really knows about me at all, so i guess.

[Clanky he/him]

But those clones are now part of me and I did do part of my own schooling thank you very much! I also have the most degrees of everyone here, I have every degree (except agriculture)!

 

Also good for you on staying true to yourself and staying suspicious. Although being a doctor is still cooler.

[Jo and the Bush all/any]

I dunno man. I think it would be cooler to be a, Luchador. (Who is also a doctor.)

[Clanky he/him]

Idunno, I always heard Luchadors made horrible doctors. Their methods are too extreme and dangerous.

[Feligon he/him]

You're sick, I'm going to call the doctor.

 

Which doctor?

 

no, not the witch doctor.

 

I meant, who is the doctor you were talking about?

 

The doctor.

 

Doctor who?

 

No, Doctor McNinja, not Doctor Who.

 

Wat.

[Clanky he/him]

Someone called for a doctor?

 

Well let's see what we have here. Hmm you seem fine but what's that smell? Is that Maple syrup?!

Oh no! It's Paul Bunyan's disease. We need to get him outside quickly. Wait Warn collapsed the entrance there is no way out. We are all going to die!

 

Haha just kidding there is no such thing as Paul Bunyan's disease. We will be fine. Well you won't but the rest of us will. You've got Maple Syrup Urine Disease. You are probably going to die.

Wat.

We now need someone to sign up as 'Doctor Who' (so we have both 'The Doctor' & 'Doctor Who') as well as we need someone to sign up who is a Witch Doctor (don't need to be their name though, only their profession). Hmm... 'Doctor Which the Witch Doctor' anyone? Or maybe 'Doctor Which, the Doctor Who Witch Doctors'?

Spoiler

You already have the head; here's the body:

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I have a PhD, so I'm the best type of doctor

[phattemer]

I am a Ph.D, M.D., etc. Refer to my honorifics for more details. Best best doctor. Haha, Araris, you've been trumped!

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Nah. MDs are -1000 doctor points. They save people's lives, after all. It just isn't proper to stop a mob run bloodbath midway.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

Marl is the ugly, small, cowardly member of the crew. He likes to strut and think he's more important than everyone else, but he knows that he is basically worthless.

[Mailliw73 he/him]

The doctor of undoctorly things.

[Emerald101 he/him]

Mr. John Smith walked in unseen by the other gang members. He had an average height, average build, medium length brown hair and brown eyes. His features were so typical as to be extraordinary. Not that you'd notice.

 

Can someone explain how exactly roles and powers and stuff works? this is my first game.

[Wyrmhero he/him]

Okay then, Emerald. A better guide can probably be found on the other threads, but a summary:

 

At the beginning of the game, I will randomly assign Roles to players. You may either be one of the ones listed in the first post of this thread, or you might have no Role. If you have a Role, you are able to use the ability it gives you each turn, at the cost of one of your actions. Players can have up to one Role, and they also have an Alignment - Scoundrel or Lawman (the Eliminators in this game).

 

Players each have two actions each turn, which must be different. An action could be your Role ability, the Eliminator kill ability, the Smoking Gun kill ability, or one of the three Money actions (Auctioning, Messaging or Gambling). You send in what you want to do every Cycle (which lasts two days in this game) to me in secret, and until the Cycle ends, you may also change your mind on your actions, except for selling your vote. All these actions will take place at the end of the Cycle, and if your Role lets you discover information, such as if you are a Seeker, I will let you know in private the result.

 

Also, all of you doctors. I am sorely tempted to make you all RP all game, so I have roleplaying stuff to base writeups on. At the very least, if you 'forget' about it, I will be very disappointed. You've made your bed, now lie in it.

[Emerald101 he/him]

Aight. Thanks

[Lord Pifferdoo he/him]

Can our outlaw gang name be "Malpractice"?

[phattemer]

Why Malpractice? Just regular Practice would still be relieving people of their money.

[Wonko the Sane he/him]

Well I, for one, am insulted! For me, at least, this was always intended to be an RP thing. Did some among you join in spuriously, thus casting dirt upon the names of those of us who take the movement more seriously?

 

On the subject of names, I don't think that we doctors should simply become a bunch of mascots for the gang as a whole. After all, the majority of players have not joined with us; and Warn, our leader, is clearly not a doctor. As such, we can not allow them to take their name from us.

 

That said, however, I feel it is important that we organize ourselves, so that we are not cast apart by the winds of time. To that end, I have made a call to arms here. My fellow doctors, go and join the cause!

 

So you think that I am afraid to lie in this bed, Wyrmhero? Challenge accepted.
