abhoth | ( murder proposals )

Part of the fun of playing in a murdergame is having a shot at crafting a murder. After all, who says factions should get to have all the fun?

But in order to make this happen, we ask that you submit a quick murder proposal first. This is mostly for organizational purposes (partly to avoid our timeline being flooded with easily missed PPs), and so we can determine whether a murder can take place during any given week or not. Don't worry if you've never done it before. No proposal needs to be perfect before making it to this page, it just needs to have a proper backbone.

We'll be shooting you a PP through plurk to give you the yay or nay, and help you iron out the details. In keeping with this, we would like to remind everyone that no character is infallible. Though we don't expect killers to be caught every single trial, there should always be a critical detail or mistake that will allow other players to solve the case... if they manage to put the pieces together.

Murder proposals must be submitted to this page using the following form, inspired by

cradleproject's proposal system. All murder proposals must be submitted before Tuesday, 9:00 PM EST to be taken into consideration. We will contact you on Plurk to give our blessings/reschedule/finalize the murder before Thursday 12:00 PM EST.

Character name: Your character's name.
Contact: Your plurk account, preferably, so we can iron out the details.
Suggested target: Who are you going to kill? We ask that you keep it to four victims maximum.
Suggested executioners: Should your character be caught, select five (5) characters for the Executioner Vote. This is your chance to hurt your friends.
Incentive: What are they asking for in return for murdering someone? This is where the Rewards/Motivations part of your application comes in.

Murder plot: Give us the basic gist of how your character will carry out the kill. It doesn't have to be anything super duper detailed — just enough for us to have an idea of how viable your character's plan is, and if it can be done during the current week. Even something as simple as "they're going to shoot them in the face???" would work.

Evidence/Clues: Again, there is no such thing as a perfect murder. While it shouldn't be obvious your character did it (unless you want it that way), it should still be possible for other players to figure it out by putting their critical thinking skills to use. You may suggests ways the victim could mess things up for the killer (by bruising them, for example) or items/weapons left behind. We suggest obscure, canon-specific clues be left aside. This is so the trials are fair. Or... fairish.

Anything else?: If you have something you believe wasn't covered above, lay it on us here.

Character name: Omega
Contact: rowlet @ plurk
Suggested target: Herself
Suggested executioners: ??? Does this still apply if she’s the culprit of her own murder.
Incentive: Was promised by Craftly that all future trials will state if the Ghost was used and that there would be evidence.

Murder plot: During the week, Omega will be wandering around trying to find the Ghost before Friday, though ultimately failing. Omega will wake up in the middle of the night in her room, 114, and creep outside of it, leaving her key. She’ll also leave behind her hair ribbons on top of her pillow. Andersen is allowed to see this if he wants to, but not be able to follow. She’ll go down to the lounge and ask for a drink. Regardless of whether she gets it or not, she’ll try to talk to Craftly before taking her set of Driver’s keys and gouging her own throat in a single blow, bleeding out wherever she drops.

Evidence/Clues:
- The gouge in her neck pierces neatly into her cartoid artery and rips out forward, as if someone had to be ripping the weapon outward instead of directly stabbing in or from behind.
- Her right arm is especially soaked with blood. It will have to be examined carefully, as it is a black glove and won't show more than it will feel bloodied.
- (perhaps) Andersen seeing her leave, no one else seeing anyone leaving. If the mun is cool with it!
- The weapon is her keys, so noticeably there are three separate rips in her throat, one for each key she fit between her finger. People can compare their room keys to the wounds for a similar match to confirm they belonged to the driver.
- She will have told at least one person that she is the driver, therefore they can piece together that her being the driver + her key-shaped wounds mean they were self inflicted.
- Her choker will be laying beside her, removed prior to her own murder.

Anything else?:
I just want to know, if she’s guilty of her own murder, will people be able to vote for her as the culprit, or will they be forced into executing someone else?
