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: Akane Kurashiki
Contact:

aaveolio
Suggested target: Light Yagami
Suggested executioners: Kaito, Andersen, Hajime, Akira, Heather
Incentive: Stopping Radical-6

Murder plot: So even though Akane has been planning to do a hit anyway, I kind of want this murder to be totally unplanned. She's driven to a homicidal rage by the night terror and goes after the person she deems most suspicious, with little regard to whether it's a good idea or not. She's got the cleaver Nagasone has been keeping in their room and she will go for the throat with it.

Evidence/Clues: Since the murder will be spontaneous and sloppily executed, I'm cool with leaving behind a ton of evidence. Maybe there could be a struggle that leaves bruises on her, maybe bloody footprints or strands of hair? She'll have enough presence of mind to bring the cleaver back to room 119, though.

Anything else?: I have no idea how to actually do a murder plot so any ideas from you guys are super welcome! o/
