This is the Stanford Prison experiment being reenacted in a forum game. Ridiculous.

Alignment.

Adventurers tend to be motivated by good (In most games), criminals are motivated by evil. Tho their aims are remarkably similar.

Anywho's, if you wanna mumble about peanuts, go ahead. Some of us have work to do.

I like peanuts, AND I'm trying to convince people not to leave me for dead.

In an adventuring party, you've probably already made an agreement to work together. You probably know each other, and, if not friends, are acquaintances. You can expect the others in your party to be reliable.

Here, we are criminals, being forced to make snap judgements about who they can rely on in a matter of life and death - or freedom and jail, at least. The murderer in the mask does not seem safe to work with. We have no previous friendships or even knowledge of each other to fall back on to say "this guy is reliable and won't axe me in the skull for giggles."

Consider it an interesting demonstration of human nature

As said, you guys aren't going to be killed, but your game may well take a different path. The bes laid rails of mice and men often go astray and all that.

Hey Vacio, can we get a roll or something on these powers? Because they apparently only work at random (and by random I mean when the GM says so)

[Dwarmin]

Hey look, they're trying to kill us back! Despite not possibly knowing our plans or motivations!

Are you even going to ASK me to let you go? You jumped to that conclusion awfully quick, buddy.

[Spiderking50]

When you leave us locked in and put the guard in the back, it's a clear indication that you're not going to let us go. My character thinks, he's a planner, he's guessed your plan. As you said, you all are criminals. Doesn't take much.

[Vacio]

I will point out that there's a reason you never split the party.

Actually I don't expect you all to be chummy with each other and go as group after getting off the bus.

I don't think the GM would kill you off instantly as soon as you got to prison, assuming you couldn't escape in the first place. Also, your character isn't an obvious loony, so try to sell me on letting you go. Don't just sit there and expect the best out of people. Asuka is fairly heartless, but she doesn't kill people if she can avoid it-or they prove they are worth her time.

I mean-Let's be honest, why in the name of all creation would we let guys like Khan, Masky and Kitkat out? The obvious nutbars? Did you want to make friends when you created those characters?

Well, okay, Khan is actually pretty polite and an interesting character-despite being crazy, so maybe I'm going to let him out...

I will point out that there's a reason you never split the party.

Rules lawyer! We were never actually party, so how can we split it?

All is true! You don't know each other and some of you are not trustworthy people.

Coulda run our actions?

I am doing so right now, just had to make sure no one else was posting anymore actions.

You do get rolls and based off them I post what happens.

I was asking you do those rolls. I was asking for an update.

Actually, my character stopped for a moment to speak.

Then you posted that you 'figured out' that you we were going to kill you (strictly a last resort!) and gilgamisk had to post we were letting you go. Then I posted that you had to actually interact with other players in the game to achieve your primary goal of being let go. excuse me, we're letting you go anyway, you're just not going WITH US.

[Dwarmin]

Oh, and here's something great. I'm just now reading your techno absorbing powers and it seems you could even help REMOVE the explosive collar (my character has mentioned this) she's currently wearing. You didn't think to pawn that off for the keys to your chain? Not to mention it? That would be a GREAT trade!

[Spiderking50]

I knew I could remove it at any time. My character doesn't trust your character at all.
