This game can be pretty fun, and isn't too complicated.
The Rules
We will have an overlord, who will be all powerful and control the game.
Everyone else will be a servant of theirs to do his or her bidding, which will be a new assignment at the beginning of each round.
The game begins by the Overlord summoning everyone before them and questioning them about whether they got the thing they wanted.
Let's say the Overlord might have wanted a jeep to use.
Example Round:
Stage 1: Who failed?
The Overlord would question one person of everyone in the game (this would be random selection) and ask them why they failed to bring them the thing they wanted (which will invariable happen, no one ever succeeds).
Stage 2: Defenses
That person can then blame their failure on some random thing (like maybe an elephant destroying the jeep) or someone else in the game; anything to shrug themselves off from the immediate blame placed on them.
Pretty much everything goes at this point, following a rough outline of what happened based on the First Accused, who as stated before will be decided by the Overlord at the beginning of the round.
Everyone can blame someone, themselves, keep silent, or introduce some sort of new feature that happened while acquiring the item (in this case, a jeep). Eventually, the Overlord will process the information and decide who failed, or might just get tired of the arguing and randomly select someone at random.
Stage 3: Fault is fixed
The person chosen to have failed by the Overlord is then thrown out, vaporized, or something creative, by the Overlord's orders. The idea is to not be this person, and to survive as long as possible.
Likely, the Overlord will be choosing the best defenses as survivors.
One last thing, whenever someone says something, it becomes fact. It is what happened. If someone says an elephant destroyed a jeep, then anyone calling that person a liar is for certain lying; the jeep was destroyed by an elephant. What's up for telling for someone else is, for example, who set the elephant on the jeep. Things are bound to work a lot better that way.
Remember to keep things civil, stay inside the board rules, keep all hands and legs inside the game until it comes to a complete stop...
One final rule, keep spam, unless it's game spam, to an absolute minimum.

Something I really should have mentioned before is that whenever someone says something, it becomes fact. It is what happened. If someone says an elephant destroyed a jeep, then anyone calling that person a liar is for certain lying; the jeep was destroyed by an elephant. What's up for telling for someone else is, for example, who set the elephant on the jeep. Things are bound to work a lot better that way.

---------------------------------------------------------
A very large, octagonal-shaped room, painted black on wall sides, and which ceiling was very far up, was the chamber room of the Overlord where he chose to debrief his servants. He had multiple other rooms nearly exactly like this for other purposes, and he would shift between the seven rooms throughout any given day. The only difference between them all was the lighting level; this one was the second to lowest.
The Overlord sat at one end of the room, dressed in dark clothes amidst the heavy darkness. Before him stood his present servants. He spoke.
"As you should all know by now, one of my buttons on my control panel locks the floor to whatever touches them. Thus, you cannot move your shoes, and because of the outreaching pulse rays, your feet within them, and your legs too since the newest technological upgrade. Anyway, where's my molecular pulse accelerator? I asked you lot to obtain it for me yesterday, so where is it? You were sent out to Wal-mart outside of my impenetrable fortress realm, and you did leave to get me my newest necessity. So, where is it? You, Captain Tammo, you tell me how you all managed to lose it, or fail at obtaining it."
(Playing opened for all players.)
Well uh- yer honor sir, I did get you yer molecular pulse accelerator, but ye see, a huge group of strange creatures that called themselves "CIA" ambushed us! There was at least ten score with 'em, I fought with all me bally strength, I took down at least a score or so single pawed. So I tells the others, "quick! We need t' get outta here so we can get our warlord his accelerator! I'll hold these chaps off!" so ye see yer honor, I gave it to Tiria Wildlough, while I stayed back to hold off "CIA" and keep 'em from finding your mighty palace... *gulp*, yer mightiness...
OOC:Sorry, but I came up with this on the spot and didn't think some things all the way through. Sorry for that. Some general rules I forgot: Godmoding is pretty much disallowed if not entirely, powerplaying is allowed, just use it sensibly and don't go having somone else getting their leg bit off or something, but it mostly goes. It'll be fine for now though.
"Very well, you're dismissed," said the Overlord. He flinched at his mistake at trying to dismiss Captain Tammo. "Well, keep standing," he corrected himself.
He turned to the rest. "Tiria Wildlough, how did you lose it then, did the "CDT" take it? Or was there a glitch transporting it to another dimension?"
"That happened last time," he added under his breath.
"Any of you see what happened next?" he asked to all eight around his throne.
(OOC Spectator question: "CDT"? What, the Australian Clearance Diving Team?)

OOC:
xD. That's just the Overlord's misinterpretation of CIA, I'm planning on keeping misinterpretations rather minimum, not a common aspect of the Overlord. I might not have made it as obvious as it should be, though.
"Zir!" said Hiag, his voice thick with his strange Liatakelander accent. "We were ezcapin' with the device when zeveral zcorez o' terror droidz o' the army o' Grach, ruled by King Yult-cau III, zurrounded uz. There were far too many tae fight, zir, an' we were forced tae zurrender. They took uz prizoner tae their orbitin' ztarcruizer, where we were imprizoned." He coughed to clear his throat before continuing. "Ah dinnae ken wot happened tae the device after tha'." He coughed again. "Zir!"
OOC: Liatakelander (Lat-ake-lan-der) Lizard/Bat/Snake/Northlander.....Ah think tha' wid be a braw name fer thiz combination o' accentz tha' ah'm uzin', with bat goin' tae be used after ah look up their zpeech a wee bit more.
OOC: I like it. You're pretty good at the accents too.
"Whatever, I can get another one later. Of course, as I see it, it's Tiria's fault for not keeping it with her regardless of things. I am to be served, not failed in the process." Said the Overlord, strangely with a feeling of patience in him. Or maybe it was blissful thinking that he could actually deal with this for a few minutes more than usual, caused by the happiness in him about new technological upgrades to his fortresses. Yup, it was the latter.
"Exuse me sir..." DanielofRedwall held up a hesitant hand. It was his first time on the job, and he had failed his master. He spoke in a trembling voice. "I was not able to bring it to you, sir, for you see, when I entered the wal-mart store, a series of strange events took place. You see, just as I was deciding which brand of molecular pulse accelerator I should buy for you, master, somebody tapped me on the shoulder. It was a beaver, sir, a death-defying beaver! They took all of the molecular pulse accelerators off the shelf, all except one, which I managed to save, and took off on their flying invisible bulldozers! I tried chasing them, but when I left the store I ran in to the others, and what took place next was exactly as HeadInAnotherGalaxy said. I thought you should know. Please forgive me, oh mighty one!"
OOC~ I didn't post at the wrong time, did I?
OOC: No, you're fine. If anyone wants to say something, I'd suggest about now, I'll probably close this round this afternoon or evening.
Musician put on her smile and said in her talkative way, "I would have have helped bring it to ye my lord. But as I was captured by scores of terror droids of the army of Grach, ruled by King Yult-cau III, I was knocked out. When I came around the pain I suffered to help the others escape was great. I had to use my head, and lead us all out of the orbiting starcruiser. I was able to order those pizzas you wanted though," Musician finished. She stared up at him, not showing a sign of fear. Perhaps that was because she was thinking about monkeys.
Confidently, Matthias720 addresses the Overlord. "Sir, I wouldn't trust these others to pay attention to anything. After we were attacked in the store, I silently sneaked into the back to find a molecular pulse accelerator in the stock room. I found one there, but before I could grab it, about 25 ninja space pirates attacked me, tied me up, and left me for the terror droids. If they hadn't interfered, I would have gotten the molecular pulse accelerator, you requested."
The Overlord sighed dramatically, then sat straight up. He said the first word that came to mind. "Lag."
He looked at Matthias720, and then to Redwall Musician. He addressed the latter. "Good, a leader. Can't remember a thing about ordering pizzas, but whatever, I'll keep you around. However, for all of you, your failure is going to be punished. And then, you will bring me a flying bulldozer that is invisible.
"As for you Matthias720, you put on a good tale. So be it, I'll keep you around even if you're so horrible at dealing with ninja space pirates."
"Haven't heard of those before," he muttered.
He turned back to the room of his servants. "I'll give the punishment quickly, my servants. Along such important events as this, many will normally make a speech, and the deliverer of judgement would speak in eloquent manner on condemning the horrible mishap servant, with the greatest care and gravity- but that isn't going to happen. HeadInAnotherGalaxy will be punished, no further comment."
The Overlord leaned back in his chair, as if bored. He pushed a button on his control and, ignoring the terrified look on HiAG's face, released it.
A clanking of gears occurred, and the floor where HiAG was standing on shifted, tilted and shot upwards on a set of springs. The fellow disappeared through a hole in the ceiling, which had just been illuminated.
Further clanking ensued, and a monitor appeared on one of the eight walls, showing a black-and-white fuzzy feed of a small pod shooting into the sky, and then switched to the feed of a satellite, where the pod was now in range of after entering space.
The Overlord pushed a button on his controls, and the monitor screen disappeared with the extra lighting and two holes in floor and ceiling.
He pushed another button and the doors of the chamber clanked open. He waved his seven servants, Matthias720, Tiria Wildlough, Skalrag of Marshank, Redwall Musician, Coobreedan, Captain Tammo, DanielofRedwall, to dismiss since they were not held to the floor any longer.
-------------
A few days later, the Overlord summoned the seven back to the same chamber. He questioned them. "Where is my flying bulldozer I asked for? Skalrag, Tiria, Coobreedan, you did not speak last time. Answer me in explanation or be added to the list of former servants."
OOC: The Overlord has eliminated HiAG from the game. HiAG, you may now commence use with ghost-play if you so desire. You can be imaginative with that, like trying to break a mechanism just for fun.
OOC: Or throwin' rotten tomatoez at the overlord?
OOC: As long as their ghost tomatoes, then sure.
OOC: You want me to post something to get the ball rolling again?

Ok then!
And may ah alzae ask, pray tell was the reazon tha' ah was elliminated? Waznae it Tiria who lozt the device?
"Lord," said Musician, "I shall speak for the ones who have lost their tongues. That is if you wish. For I happen to have information about this flying bulldozer."
"Then speak," said the Overlord. "That's what I want."
this bloomin flyin bulldozer went zip zip over my head and they shot slingstones on my tailbob and they were shoutin dab wot wot
OCC: Sorry this took so long for me to reply....
"Well you see the bulldozer was located at the mall. So we took a journey across the perilous high-way. Little did we know that death defying beavers had taken over the mall. We walked straight onto a trap. They wanted information about you. But I told the others not to say anything. Suddenly an army of weasels came and defeated the beavers. We then made our way to the bulldozer. I gave the flying bulldozer keys to Matthias and told him to take it to thee, my lord. For you see it only seated one person. I had to go and lead the others back across the perilous high-way," Musician said.
OOC~ very sorry, Dannflor, but you didn't sign up for the game earlier.
BIC~ Daniel nodded his head enthusiastically. "It's true! I saw the whole thing! Well, I mean, I was part of the whole thing!
Tiria nodded. 'I was part of it too!' she said earnestly.
"I took some photos, but the beavers stole them..." Coobreedan said.
Matthias720 steps forward, to offer his side of things. "Well m'lord, I was heading for the bulldozer with the keys, when I once again found myself surrounded by ninja space pirates. Having a score to settle with them after the last time, I tossed the keys over to Skalrag, so he could carry on. I don't know what he did after that, but I did get to beat up a dozen ninja space pirates. Look, I even have their eye-patches as proof." Matthias720 presents the eye-patches to the Overlord, and then steps back into line.
OOC: Skalrag has left the game actually. Player list now minus her.
The Overlord pushed a button on his control panel. An electronic buzz phased out, signalling the pulse rays were on and movement restricted.
The Overlord milled over the events. He spoke to Matthias720. "What happened to the bulldozer then? I asked for a flying bulldozer, not eye patches."
OOC: Oh, okay. I guess I'll just make a few minor edits, and...
"Well m'lord, I was heading for the bulldozer with the keys, when I once again found myself surrounded by ninja space pirates. Having a score to settle with them after the last time, I tossed the keys over to Tiria, so she could carry on. I don't know what she did after that, so you would have to ask her."
Tiria picked up the tale. 'And then they caught me, and one of them took the keys and swallowed them!'
The Overlord appeared to take interest in his control panel. He pushed several buttons, and just let all six of his servants stand silently for nearing ten minutes. He looked up.
"I have a dinner appointment, you might say. Had to make sure the guns are working- I never take the cars sent me. I'll need a different car then prepared. So, I'll have six, no, five actually, of you do that."
The Overlord looked over the six servants. "You've failed me-again. Bulldozers are of no concern, I only hope space ninja pirates will lay off causing me, or rather you, problems.
"Cobreedan, you took pictures. Pictures do little good, thought a electronic imaging transmitter matter converter would be a useful addition. I doubt you used one, so that was a useless idea. So you're out."
The Overlord, in quick succession, pushed a score of buttons on his control panel, and the floor under Cobreedan partially gave out. The wall nearest opened up and a large broom-like device came out and batted the area until Cobreedan disappeared into the floor, whcih led to the cosmic continuity arena of neverendingness. The floor came back together promptly, and the broom exchanged a strange pattern of electronic pulses with the floor before sweeping back into the wall.
The Overlord leaned back. "The pulse rays are off now, go and take the day off until the late afternoon, then go and tell the limousine agency to send me a vehicle. Blow it up, wait for the arriving one to be shot up, and then deliver a different limousine from the back side of the fortress realm."
~~~
At 3 E.F.T. (Earlier Fortress Time, normally known as A.M.), the Overlord had the five back before him. "Ten destroyed limousines, a blown up helicopter, a failure of transfer between stations in my fortress because of a sandwich's misplacement and a random beaver getting passed the 5,689 systems defense center and I did not make my dinner appointment.
"I like ham and cheese dinner at the Largest Cafe of McDousine's. All of you tell me, how did this all happen, from the beginning."

Cobreedan, have fun with ghostplaying. The Overlord choose you for elimination.
OCC: (or whatever that means haha) I'm sorry but I don't understand what our task is. Were supposed to blow up a bunch of limousines for a sandwich or something ??? And then I dont get the beaver thing. Was there a purpose to that?
OOC: go and tell the limousine agency to send me a vehicle. Blow it up, wait for the arriving one to be shot up, and then deliver a different limousine from the back side of the fortress realm was the task. The actual result is what the Overlord said at the end.
OCC: "OCC" mean "Out Of Character". We use it in role-playing. "BIC" means "Back In Character". I'll think of something to say later.
My lord, I will tell you the story of what had happened.
I was at my post waiting for the first limousine with redwall musician and Daniel of redwall. I had a bazooka and the other two had sticks of dynamite they were going to throw at the limo in case I missed (which I never do). The first limo came. I set my aim when the helicopter piloted by beavers showed up! Knowing sticks of dynamite wouldn't be able to reach the helicopter, I shot it down with my bazooka. Musician and Daniel threw their dynamite sticks at the limo, one of them fell into the sunroof and landed in a catapult that launched itself into our local limo factory. That's why there were so many destroyed limos. The helicopter fell onto the roof, one of the Beavers must've survived the crash. Musician said they'd go stop the beaver. But in case he was caught, he disguised his spare dynamite stick as a sandwich. Then there was a inch worm invasion!!! There must've been billions! It took forever for me and daniel to squish them all, so I had the idea of bringing an industrial sized fan outside and blowing them all away, therefore saving the fortress, but costing you your dinner appointment. What Daniel did with his "sandwich" I am not sure my lord. I was focusing on my duty of saving your fortress.
"If the sandwich still exists, I want it." said the Overlord.
"I thought you said Redwall Musician disguised their dynamite, not Daniel. How'd he end up with the dynamite as a sandwich? And why was it put into the Transportation Hub Cylinder breaking down all communications? Perhaps the beaver did that. Redwall Musician, what became of the beaver and its passing to right outside my fortress, past the 5,689 defense systems I had installed last month? The former 56,289 were too much, afterall. And half were created by a company called A Pure Beaver Labs- I never buy foreign- only steal foreign. Create and thus already have, which is why I have the Sixteen Underground Research Facilities."
The Overlord began pushing buttons on his control panel in rapid succession.
Daniel shrugged and shook his head. "I never got any sandwhich dynamite from Musician. Ask her."
what does the dynamite look lick mr hare
OOC: oops! I meant to say musician instead of Daniel. O well, it makes things more interesting this way ;D

what does the dynamite look lick mr hare
OOC: Song Swifteye, the sign-up ended awhile ago, the game has started already. Read the topic before posting.
"The beaver, being able to shape shift, got in. He looked a lot like you, my Lord. He sounded like you too. When I went after with my sandwich dynamite, I thought he was you. Quickly I realized he was a death defying beaver and threw the sandwich at him. I was amazed to see that he ate the sandwich. He pulled out a sword, I pulled out my dirk and we fought! 'Twas a equal match, but the coward beaver use his brain washing abilities to weaken me. So I screamed at the top of my lungs my warcry, 'Euuulaaaaaliiaaaaaaa!' and the alarms sounded off, chaos followed, but finally the beaver was captured," Musician said.
The Overlord slumped and sighed at the events of the evening. He decided to speak.
"I'm interested in what Matthias720 and Tiria Wildlough were doing at the time. Where you both chasing fireflies around? Clearly you didn't go to the limousine agency, so I take it you were both at my fortress's limousine facility sending one around to Gate One?
"Fortunately all this damage can be fixed."
"Correct, sir. Tiria and I were sending a limo around to gate one, but suddenly a whale and a pot of flowers fell out of nowhere, crushing the limo. We went back to the limousine facility, but it was under siege by death-defying beavers. We had no choice but to fight them off before we could attempt to send out another limo. My apologies, m'lord."
"The night is ending fast."
The Overlord stared right at Tiria Wildlough. He pushed a button on his control panel, but something very rare happened.
The button popped off and hit the floor, where it soon melted into plastic and was absorbed. The Overlord shrugged.
"Fine, forget that. Tiria Widllough, you have five seconds until you will be instantly transported to the CCG56-190 Far Crimson base on the other side of the world. Leave there with the pass code 489. You're fired, but my control panel needs maintenance, so you will go unpunished- mostly anyway."
The Overlord pushed a series of three buttons and Tiria disappeared. The Overlord looked out at the four standing before him.
"I do not appreciate failure. I want a great general of the Green Eyes brought to me. The Green Eyes are a small race of orbs that are yellow with red eyes that occupy most of their form. Bring me the leader of any swarm of the beings. They're about the size of a baseball. I desire some of their technology to make a new blend of Mango juice I read about."
"You have two days. If you fail, there will be consequences."
---------------------
Two days later, in the afternoon, the Overlord had the four servants back in his room. His control panel was fixed and expanded with new buttons.
"Where is the Green Eyes general?"
He asked, though it was obvious none was there. Oh well, thought the Overlord, I thought there wouldn't be.
OOC: Player List
Matthias720
Redwall Musician
Captain Tammo
DanielofRedwall
Matthais720 spoke up first. "M'lord, we were unable to acquire the Green Eyes General, but I would like to say that this isn't my fault. Using your spy satellite network, I tracked him to a clearing in a remote jungle. I then sent Musician, Daniel, and Tammo out to get him, while I stayed behind to coordinate their movements. They had almost reached the target location when, for some strange reason, I lost all communication with them. I have no idea what happened after that, so this clearly isn't my fault." With that, Matthias720 fell silent, bowed his head, and awaited his Overlord's response.
"Giant captured us and destroyed all our technology. We were thrown into a pit. I used my brain and devised a plan to get us all out. Thankfully it worked. After escaping, we made our way to the Green Eyes general in the jungle. Sadly the giants had captured him. We fled, for they made bomb and were about to blow the jungle up. A bunch of monkeys and came said they would help us. But they only took us home, against our will," Musician said.
What musician and matthias say is true my lord, except the Green Eyes used a Flitcheye technique and used knock out gas against us while we were taken away. Unfortunately giants and I'm sure the general too, were resistant to this gas. We were not and hardly made it out at all! Matthias fainted and the monkeys said to leave him, I refused to leave anyone behind and had to carry Matthias but he recovered quickly.
OOC: Matthias stayed behind, we wasn't there.
OOC: I'm nit very good with keeping characters straight am I? XD
Well I would change it but I don't think that'd be fair. However, maybe the gas made Tammo think it was someone else instead of Daniel or Musician? ::)
Daniel raised his hand. "It wasn't Matthias who got knocked out, sir, as he stayed behind. It was I who got knocked out. I believe that the gas they used was the gas form of the mango smoothie you wanted, so at least we know now that it was dangerous. In fact, it seems it has muddled with Tammo's brain! I would hate to lose you, my lord."
With this, he bowed respectfully to the overlord.
OCC: Are we going to finish this? Not trying to be rude..
Yeah, so what! I'm rude. Yes I'm a rude person.
Captain Tammo then started believing he was a bird. He cocked his head sideways and cooed softly
OOC~ I was waiting for somebody else to post, I couldn't double post!
OOC: ToR, are we going to wrap this up soon?
I'll PM Taggerung of Redwall about it
OOC: Sorry guys, i can't post right now. I have to leave for the weekend. I'll hopefully be able to write something in that time, otherwise I'll get to this on Sunday.
OOC: Or Tuesday.
The Overlord punched several buttons on his control panel and then closed an eye. He sighed and squeezed a cylinder beside his chair that had appeared.
After some clanking, Matthias720 fell through the floor.
The Overlord looked over the three servants. "Understand that I like persons who put direct effort in something. You do not stay behind and take authoirty, you work together as equals and collaborate to serve me. He failed."
"I..." The room shook and went dark. The Overlord sighed.
"The doors are out. So we shall try something else. I've wanted to try this, and this a good chance to do it.
"Captain Tammo, find the correct of the eight panels in this room and remove it. They'll be three buttons. Push the green one twice, then the blue one once and finally the red one sixteen times. Redwall Musician, you'll need to disable the sixteen guns on the roof which will pop out and shoot us if the panels are tampered with. Do that by reaching the secondary control panel behind my chair.
"And you, DanielofRedwall, stand in the middle of the room. That way you can be the first shot if something goes wrong. I'm not dying first, I'm getting out of here. My servants will do that for me."
OOC:Player List:
Redwall Musician

DanielofRedwall
Everyone try and get what the Overlord wants done, and be imaginative with it. I'm working on a twist for the ending. Just knocking people out seems too simple at this point.
Captain Tammo gave a mad laugh then interrupted himself and made a sound that resembled a whale... Somewhat...
Then he made his way over to the first panel. Examining it, listening to it, sniffing it, and... Tasting it... He ran to the next one, And started dancing around it saying "hubaloo!". Shaking his head, he ran to the next one. This process continued for a couple more panels, then, he found the one he was looking for. Removing the panel, he found four things behind it, three were buttons. And one was Tammo's leftover baby back ribs from the night before at outback steakhouse; it was his birthday last night. Setting the ribs aside, he pushed the green button twice, the blue once, and the red *gasp!* 15 TIMES... Plus one ;D
After this was done, he replaced the panel, grabbed his leftovers, and went back to his spot on the floor, munching happily on his outback steakhouse ribs.
Above him, the Overlord heard three guns come down from the ceiling and saw them send out three pale green lights into the room.
"At least we can see now," he remarked.
Three pulses shoot down into the room, two striking either side of the Overlord, and the last splitting up in its descent to hit in the vicinity of DanielofRedwall, Captain Tammo and Redwall Musician as three beams.
OCC: So did I get hit? Oh, well. On to my mission, LOL! BIC:
Musician began climbing the wall. She used two knives to push in to the wall and pull herself up. As she reached the first gun, she pulled one of her knives out of the wall. She stabbed it into the gun, instantly disabling it. And to the next gun. On reaching the gun she pulled out her hair clip and shoved it into the wires which powered the gun. The last gun she simply hit with her purse and watched it fall to the ground. Musician had disabled the guns. And she was thinking about ponies.
DanielofRedwall, naive as he was and not realising the danger he was in, happily stood in the middle of the room, fidgeting with his fingers. He then pulled out a banana he found in his pocket and snacked on it quitely. He didn't realise the guns had been disabled.
In the dark room, several buttons clicked. The floor below Redwall Musician gave way. A red mist shone for a second, a hint of what was below in the earth, then disappeared. The Overlord spoke.
"She did it wrong. Said to use the secondary panel, not knives. Wanted the guns intact."
The guns sizzled on the ground as Captain Tammo and DanielofRedwall stood in front of the Overlord, unconstrained via the floor. As the power was completely gone from the room now, no pulse rays prohibited their movement.
Lights shone, three from the roof where the guns had been.
The Overlord adjusted his black garments and scanned his two remaining servants. No, three.
Redwall Musician stood behind him, and promptly bashed the top of his chair off to the ground. His control panel hit the ground and cracked in half.
The doors creaked open with the panel's destruction.
The Overlord jumped up and his seat crumpled into several pieces. He ran into Captain Tammo at first, then hit the floor again and ran into DanielofRedwall. He turned to Redwall Musician.
"How're you alive?"
"Knives, I climbed out."
The Overlord knocked the floor from beneath him out and soundlessly plummeted to his escape pod. Better than what was in his chamber now.
"Oh well. They won't get any pay now. And the other five's pay is certainly mine anyway."
Above, Tammo, Daniel and Musician left the chamber and the fortress.
"If only that green orb general with that limousine and fancy sandwich and beaver guards hadn't recommended us to this place. The ninjas even seconded the recommendation."
On the other side of the world, the Overlord bet all his blue, green and red chips. "I call."
The green orb general folded, followed by the death-defying beaver.
Amidst the foliage of the jungle, the Overlord won the hand. The space ninja proved the winner though and took the game.
OOC:
P.S. I thought I'd make the ending different than the rest, and not just send out three and then two people to do a task.
So, the game's over.
Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions on what could have worked better?
Anyone have fun?
I had fun! Especially since I survived. Well, I kinda did. I was suppose to lose but I still won. *claps* Hurray for ToR.
I had a ton of fun! Though the conclusion with the poker confused me, as well as the fact that we were supposed to be paid? And if the general and beavers and ninjas and overlord all play poker together, why did all 3 try to destroy the fortress or stop the servants?
Are we goin' tae dae thiz again?
If enough people want to play.
I wanna play again! Especially since I got eliminated. But I have a question: what's ghostplaying? ???
That was so much fun! If we do it again, count me in!
I would do it again! This time we should eliminate all the way to one person, and the last person gets to become Overlord/Overlady. Just an idea.
I'm thinking about a new theme. Forest? Desert? Dessert?
Something other than dark fortress.
Here's some ideas:
A kitten palace, a sky kingdom, a mystical diamond under-world, or an office building.
Not sure. Is anyone interested in running the game?
I could try my hand at it, if you don't want to host another round.
Sure, next round can be yours.
