What is the Sniper Game?'The Sniper Game is a game of lying, cheating, treachery, betrayal, alliances, community, friendship, chaos, gore, humor, and fun.
How does it work?Well, it's quite simple. The Sniper and Killer kill people and the GCD'ers that could also be the Sniper or Killer vote them off, but they don't know who they are so they have to guess, and then the newsreporter gets a clue except they can't really tell anyone and the G-Teamers protect people but they could be protecting the killers and then when the Gaians vote off the two killers they win.
Wait, that didn't make sense?-Ok, let me break it down. ;D-
First, I will explain the different positions in the game.
Each game, the positions of people are chosen completely randomly.
PositionsGCD'er
The Gaian is the position everyone is assumed to have. Everyone in the Game is a GCD'er. GCD'ers are innocent. They don't kill, they don't protect, they don't get clues. The Sniper, Crazed Killer, and probably G-Team Members and Newsreporter (I'll get to them next) all want everyone to think they are GCD'ers
Sniper and Crazed Killer
The Sniper and the Crazed Killer serve the same purpose: Kill the Gcd'ers. Kill the Newsreporter. And kill the G-Team Members.
The only difference between the two is their method of killage. The Sniper snipes, and the Crazed Killer... Finds more interesting methods.
These two characters want to convince the rest of the players that they are just GCD'ers.
Newsreporter
The Newsreporter recieves a clue about the Sniper or Crazed Killer each round. Whether or not they share this clue is up to them; sharing it could be risking being killed, or could be helping catch the killers.
G-Team Members
There are two G-Team Members each round. They each choose one person each round to protect from being killed.
Now that you know about each of the positions, I'll explain how the game works.
How It WorksEach round, all participants that have not been killed or jailed, will vote for whom they believe to be the Sniper. Voting takes place in the thread with the previous day's update. This thread is always stickied.
Once the voting has been completed (Usually, there is a time deadline for voting) the votes will be tallied.
Whoever gets the most votes will be voted off, and removed from the game.
While voting is taking place, several other things will happen.
The Sniper and Crazed Killer will each inform the GameMaster(GM) of whom they wish to kill.
The Newsreporter will ask the GM for a clue about the Sniper, Crazed Killer, G-Team Member 1, or G-Team Member 2. The GM will then ask the chosen person for a clue. This person must provide some sort of clue to be sent to the Newsreporter that gives a hint about their identity. They must PM it to the GM, and the GM will PM it to the Newsreporter.
Finally, the G-Team Members will PM the GM with the person they wish to protect.
It seems complicated, but it's rather simple.
When the round ends, the GM will write a story update which usually contains two parts:
A story bit about the people who are voted off going to jail, and a description of how the two people were killed.
Through the whole game, a continuing storyline is usually maintained.
This whole process continues until both the Crazed Killer and Sniper are voted off, or until the Crazed Killer and Sniper are the only ones left.
If you are at all confused about how the game works, don't be afraid to post in the guild and ask for clarification! n.n
But where's the FUN part?
at's not fun enough for you?
Fine.
XD
The fun comes in with how you play the game. How you conduct yourself in the thread, arousing suspiscion, lying, cheating, etc. Pretty much anything goes. You can claim to be the Newsreporter, even if you're not. You can offer to 'protect' someone, even if you're the Sniper! PM people, make alliances, gang up on people, start rumors, it's all game!
