INFO

This is a murder mystery role play. It is meant to last for a short time before the players are reshuffled and a new setting is decided upon.

The killer will be chosen at random. I will be using a generator to pick the killer and I will message you about your new role. If you don't want to play the killer please tell me in a PRIVATE MESSAGE.

I need five to eight participants.

Posting requirements are one paragraph per post (5-7 sentences) and basic knowledge of spelling/grammar.

The game version will be voted on.

Genres: Mystery, drama and black humor.
Tags: Mystery, multiple characters, comedy, game

PREMISE

One evening in a Seattle...

An infamous tenant is killed when the power goes out in an apartment building after a brief blackout and she's found dead in the lobby with a bullet in her chest. Everyone in the building is considered a suspect because everyone had an issue or relationship with her.

Police are called to investigate.

Three goals possible:
The killer is revealed or comes clean.
The killer kills everyone until only they remain.
The killer escapes and a patsy is blamed.

Two versions to the game:
Safe: The killer remains idle in attempt to cover tracks.
Hunt: The killer keeps killing.

Two teams:
The suspects (killer is included)
The police
