It's 1968, and life is good. The four of you, a band of young and innovative musicians from Liverpool, have had tremendous success around the world. You've at times tried looking posh, other times brought long hair and beards into vogue; you've created and reinvented rock-and-roll, and given some old styles new life. Everything you touch turns to gold. From "I want to hold your hand" to "Paperback writer", you've taken the world by storm and are bigger than Jesus. Yes, the sixties is your decade. Life is good. What can possibly go wrong?
Oh no! John's got a girlfriend! Not a groupie, or one of the oodles of women that have crossed your paths, but an honest to goodness infatuation with a proto-emo Asian chick of melodramatic tendencies! You can tell she's poisoning John's mind with ideas of taking over the world, and "giving peace a chance" by cutting all you guys loose. She'll be the undoing of the band, and the future of Music... unless you can find her, put a rope around her throat, and hang her from a tall tree. And John too, for good measure, though if this chick hangs first maybe the situation can still be saved.
You tried talking, but John was all "Nobody ever loved me like she does, Oh, she does, yeah, she does," and Yoko said "Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged!" So Ringo calls George and Paul, and says "Help me if you can, I'm feeling down; And I do appreciate you being 'round; Help me get my feet back on the ground; Won't you please, please help me!" ...the three of you agree on what has to be done.
Update: All the arguing has left the five of you quite tired; maybe you need to share one last bender together. George says "hey, how 'bout a quick drink?"... and suddenly it's 48hrs later and you've had a couple of blackouts, to say nothing of inexplicable but unnatural acts with farm animals. You're not even sure who is who anymore. Man, the sixties! Those were the days!
George, Paul & Ringo, find and hang Yoko so the band can be saved! John will do everything to defend her, though, so he may need to get a beating too!
It was pointed out to me that handing out individual names would upset the game balance, so I need to reroll. Apologies, I'm a new Mod and the flavour led me down the "unintended consequences" Avenue. I'm glad for the advice and eager to learn, so I've rerolled and sent updated role PMs all around. Please disregard your previous; only the latest role PM counts. The game can now start.
It is now Day One.
