Bobby Will

Happy with your current haul you decide to leave and on the way out loot some of the lesser graves.

However your luck has finally run out as you suddenly find yourself surrounded by the Graveyard Keeper on one side and the mutt on the other...dangit.

Chase Sequence initiated, again post your orders openly.

Okay this timeline is as confusing as the X-Men series.

Okay this timeline is as confusing as the X-Men series.
The people all came to rob at different times during the same night. The six or so timelines then advance in parallel from the initial fence-climbing until they escape or get caught or die. Once a conclusion of a timeline is reached it is dropped from the roster until all timelines are completed and the next night begins.

Of course, a certain amount of paradox is potentially possible with the two people managing to sneak up on the gravekeeper and kill him for example or something else silly.

Presumably our intelligent game running system, codename Ghazkull, will not actually carry out such a chain of events though, as time paradoxes are not the focus of the story.

Thus I guard the graves safe in the knowledge that I can probably only die once.

Yeah i am aware of that. I wasn't sure what to do in that regard. It would make most sense for people to appear at different times, instead of six robbers rolling in simultaneously.

As it stands whats going on is that if someone kills the gravekeeper, all following timelines get retconned as to the gravekeeper not being there

Bobby Will, running like a madman you make it to the outermost row of the graveyard before the graveyard keeper catches up with you, what now?

To be fair to the other players, I'd suggest switching to them all robbing at the same time once I or my successor(s?) have more minions, otherwise I'd begin to have an unfair advantage I think.

Though that depends on what sort of upgrades will be getting, but with current mortality rates, new players will probably have to resort to group tactics either way later on.

EDIT: Though so far the Mutt has seemed pretty useless, so not sure how powerful have a large group of minions would actually be. Not sure how much of that is just bad luck, lack of protoganist power or whatnot, as he doesn't get mentioned much in any of the update sections where he might be relevant.

RUN FASTER, IN A ZIG-ZAG!

also it's a little rude to shoot a God fearing, Honest graverobber in the back you know?
and yeah the robbers should probably go at the same time to make it a little fairer and to make a bit more sense.

Does that make scientific sense? No? Well it's Earth IV and he's a giant crocodile-man. Use your imagination.

Later on when I have more minions sure. If we do it right now, it'd be unfair the other way around.
