Upcoming Event: Dead Man's Chest

[Thida]

Avast! In one week, I will be running a guild-wide Murder Mystery game in Ratchet! If you aren't familiar with these, it is rather simple! You may pick a character from the list below, and you will receive information on them! This is the character you will be pretending to be! You will have secret goals as you interact with others in the group, but be careful who you trust! As you all work toward your personal goals, there will be a few key mysteries that all of the characters will be looking for the answers to... Like, Who killed Captain Flint?! Dress up in costumes! Use a funny accent! Have fun! Below is all the information you need to play! If you have a character on the list, post it here before someone else does! And don't worry about there not being enough... I have plenty more characters stored away in case we need them! I'll add more as we start running low. (Helps keep it more smooth) Also, please note, Gryphonheart Items will be a required addon for this event. You can download it here! http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addo ... s/ghi.aspxnnThe SettingnAvast, me hearties!

If you have a problem or want to donsomething unusual, see the Host. The Host’s power is absolute – and cannot be affected bynability cards!nnWinning and Losing: You can achieve most of your goals simply by talking to people. ThenHost will announce when the game is over. If you haven’t succeeded by that point – you’rentoo late! Be warned – not everyone here will want you to succeed!nnDoing Stuff: Ordinary actions are resolved by simply carrying them out. If you want tontry something unusual (such as swing from a palm tree), see the Host. The Host knowsneverything – and will be able to tell you the outcome of whatever it is that you are tryingnto do. (For example, the palm trees may be too high to reach.) Do use your imagination,nthough! – this is a very flexible game, and you can do all sorts of things beyond what’s listednin these rules.nnFighting: Pirates are nasty and brutish folk! Your character may wish to come to blows withnany of the other characters. Should you wish to do something along these lines though, don’tnjust dive in! See the Host first and tell them what you plan to do so they can oversee andngive you more detailed rules if it’s necessary.nnLeaving the island: Santo Oloroso is in the middle of the ocean, and the surrounding watersnare swarming with sharks. You are therefore advised not to attempt leaving the island duringnthe course of the evening.nnItem Cards: Any items of importance within the game are represented as item cards – andnthe only items that can affect the game are those detailed on the cards. If you do not have annitem card, you do not have that item with you.nnTime: A Dead Man’s Chest is played over three hours, with extra time for reading yourncharacter etc. There will be breaks to get drinks and food!
