Had a little game before, and I can definatly see the potential. Might've fucked up a bit though, didn't realise I was the killer for a few minutes, and missed a few choice opportunities to murder people in the dark.

Definatly agree with pathos on byond being shit though. Everything is such a pain in the ass. At one point I was trying to kill someone who could basically avoid death by just not standing still, since it seems impossible to hit someone who just moves around at walking speed. Unless I was just screwing up royally.

Byond is a nice concept poorly executed. Every moron kid can join every single game, the programming is all over the place in terms of quality and it's just really awkward to play the games themselves. But, the idea of an easy to learn piece of programming software that is open to EVERYONE is beautiful, to me at least.

It's just unfortunate they don't ban anyone. Ever.

Yeah, so many games on there are just awesome concepts, but really poorly executed.

I can deal with a dearth of annoying kids, you just find somewhere like B12 and play with guys from here. Aslong as theres a private server option it's all good.

If B12 had its own server, this would probably be nice.

Right now it's full of people who think that roleplaying means the killer doesn't get to stab people, and permaban you if you don't describe your attacks.

Like, really? This isn't Typing of the Dead, my survival shouldn't be incumbent on whether I'm a faster typer than you.

Just a note, established some rules:

* No Random killing/attacking, it's instaban.  If you *accidentally* do it ONCE coming around a corner or trying to open a door or something, it will slide.  Doing that a lot won't.
* Hoarding or rushing for things will get you a warning, then a ban.
* Nothing sexually explicit or too violent, this will get you a warning then a ban.
* Using the computer and writing down names in the DN will get you instabanned.
* A catgirl is fine, too

Oh, and if your were HORS3?  Unless you were the killer (if you'd just said you were...), RK is instaban.

In an effort to weed out people who just kill at random for no reason, some want you to roleplay your kills. But some don't wait to see if you actually have a reason to not say anything when you kill someone.

Awesome.
Or rather, it was awesome for two consecutive rounds until the idiots had invaded. I enjoyed being a magnificent bastard.

Story of Mitadake's existence. *sigh* It became shit before I even played it.

That's all well and good until somebody fireworks you in the face, and then when you chase them down and stab them to death, it turns out they were modding the server and give you a 'warning'. ;)

What is that computer/ DN thing about? I didn't find the computer so I've literally no idea why this is bad, or what it does.

Also: do flashlights actually work? My first game I found one in the basement, and whenever i turned it on nothing happened.

I experimented with writing a journal as the day progressed. Actually, I was hoping somebody would freak out about me following them around and writing on a piece of paper and try to murder me. The only people I met was the actual killer, though, and I had him cornered in a room when somebody reset the game. It was lollerous.

Below are my results. I think next time, I will try scattering them around the school, as well.

***


My name is Sahara Busujima. This is my story.

There has been a murder on the premises. I am hoping that, through these journal entries, the truth will be revealed.

I am in a room with an unresponsive Black Haired Boy. I think the shock may have gotten to him. I am very concerned. I found some paper, pencils, and a knife in this classroom. I am heading out to look around right now. I will write a new entry if anything new develops.

This is my second entry. I had to switch to a new piece of paper. Somebody over the announcement system just informed me that the Black Haired Boy I was in the room with is the killer. I am going back there to confront him. This seems to have been an open and shut case.

I am confronting the Black Haired Boy right now. He seems to not realize we are onto him. Oh damn, he just ran away! I am pursuing on foot!

I am interrogating the Black Haired Boy, but he's clammed up, and isn't responding to anything I say, although he was kind enough to provide me with some paper. I will continue my efforts.

Flashlights only put out a small amount of light, enough to illuminate you to others but not let you see farther.  The computer lists a ton of names, including all the actual players, so metagamers just write all the names down and kill everyone, including all the unfortunate kids and staff members who weren't actually there.

Ahh that does sound lame, yeah.

Grakelin that diary idea is awesome. Would work awesome if you were the killer, and left the pages hidden around for people to find, especially if you suddenly started writing false info in it. :P

My server is back up.

E: Anyone who has Vista or Windows 7 can also mute the game through their Volume Mixer, which is a nice way to keep your sanity.
