I'm not too sure how well this will work via forum, but might as well try it.
The Idea
So, this game needs a bunch of people. One is the doctor(no, not THE Doctor), and they can choose to save a person. Another is the assassin and they choose to kill a person. Me, I will be the storyteller. The rest of the players are townsfolk. NOTE: This is not a popularity game, so don't feel bad if you're killed...that came out wrong.
How to play
I will PM everyone who signs up, telling them what they are. If you are the assassin or doctor, you PM me back saying who you want to kill or save. After that's done, I'll post a story telling what happened, then everyone discusses who they think is the assassin. And decide who they want to kick out of the town. If they banish the assassin, they win the game. If they banish a townsfolk, that person is out of the game. If they banish the doctor, they loose.
Sample Round
Assassin(townsfolk C): (PMs storyteller) I want to kill townsfolk A.
Doctor(townsfolk B): (PMs storyteller) I want to save myself.
Storyteller: Townsfolk A was walking home, unaware they were being followed by the assassin. The assassin crept up behind them and stabbed them. Townsfolk A is now dead. The doctor was busy screaming at a spider.(The stories will be better in the game)
Townsfolk D: I think townsfolk B is the assassin, it seems like something they'd do.
Townsfolk E: Nah, I think that it's you, townsfolk D.
Townsfolk B: No, I'm innocent. It's D you should be wary about.
(By popular choice, D is out of the game)
Storyteller: Townsfolk D runs away screaming from the town, a huge mob after him. Sadly, you have banished an innocent. Continue playing.
Put your name on the list below if you want to play. It can take more players, but please keep it below ten for convenience.

Normally i'm not about the games... well... I suppose a little fun might be alright. Asides, i'm tryin' new things each day. Where do I begin?
We'll begin now. I send out the roles.
I am ready when you are.
I sent them out.
So, when are we starting?
When the doctor and assassin send me their choices, I'll announce them and you can start your debate.
Hooray! Arguing!
I exel at that! Bein the middle kid and all...
I'm waiting for the doctor and assassin to write me back.
Hey, why don't you tell us who they are and we can help you! ;D
Is it too late for me to join?
Same here?
yes.
Hey Wonwill, start the story off....something like this
"The redwallers (People) when to bed late one night in redwall abbey. But the assassin was awake....ready to Kill.
*The User that is the Assassin PM's you who is to die*
*You PM the User that is the Dotor and ask him if he wants to use one of his two "lives" to heal the User*
(if he does not heal that user, the user dies)
You write something Like this
"___ was killed last night! Who is to blame?"
We players will talk about what happened and then put it to a vote who we think is the assassin.
You than tell us if we killed the assassin or not.
And than if we have not killed him, but a harmless Redwaller than it starts over again.....without the Users that died :'(
I'm going to re-role the assassin as they have not yet responded. Once the new assassin has responded, I'll start the story as you indicated, Leatho.
Ok
Thiz iz gettin' far...

Just in time!
Can I play?
Sure, but since the round has already started, you're townsfolk. You can discuss the murders, though.
The night was quiet and a crescent moon hung over Redwall abbey, lighting the grounds with its gentle glow. A shadowy figure could barely be seen, coming out of the abbey and heading toward the pond. Two old friends, Skipper and Headinanothergalaxy were coming out of the gatehouse where they had been having a midnight feast. Skipper waved to HIAG as the weasel headed towards the abbey to sleep the rest of the night away. The shadowy figure had hidden themselves in the reeds around the pond. The assassin pulled out a bow, drew back, and fired at HIAG. Seeing HIAG fall, Skipper rushes forward to be felled by another arrow from the figure. The assassin smiles, their job is done, and heads back towards the abbey for a good night's sleep.
The next morning, the abbot headed out for a morning stroll around the pond, just as he always did. He gasped in horror at the still bodies of Skipper and HIAG, and rushed inside to get the infirmary keeper. Skipper is still breathing shallowly, while HIAG is still as the grave. The infirmary keeper works for the better part of the morning as the redwallers wait in the great hall with baited breath. Midmorning, the infirmary keeper comes down and announces that 'the old riverdog will live to fight again.
After HIAG's burial, the abbot gathers the Redwallers in cavern hole, "I never thought I'd see the day when a Redwaller would kill a fellow," He began, "If any of your have suspicions, please, share them now for the good of Redwall abbey."
I think it was Psybox!
<Sorry this is late, but may I join??> :)
I'm in! I don't mind waiting for the next round! :)
i suspect primrose warrior!
Actually I think it was Primrose also!
Yes, I'm sorry, but it's a bit too late. Next round maybe, if there is one.
What?
i think she was talking to winifred and redwaller.
BIC: Was the bow randomly selected or was it chosen by the Assassin?
Randomly selected by the storyteller.
<thanks ;)>
Ok well, we now have three votes against Prim
And three votes against Psybox
So that leaves 2 (PrimroseWarrior and Vulpin) people to vote either for or against prim or psybox.
1: W0NWILL.....story teller
2: Rainshadow....voted Psybox
3: Leatho Shellhound....voted prim
4: Headinanothergalaxy....dead
5: PrimroseWarrior
6: Skipper....voted psybox
7: Psybox....voted prim
8: Vulpin
9: Lord Gorath....voted Psybox
10:Buckler The Leg Buckler....voted prim
I have no clue why but I'm choosing Psybox........
I think it was Psybox.
Psy. Definitely.
i think we all know what direction this is going in. Either someone changes their vote or i die. Cheerful...
Its still a tie.
um I'm a townsperson right :-\ If not then ignore my vote until next round ;)
I elect (to doom) Buckler
ya, he seems pretty suspicious to me..... ;)
you're not in this round, for future reference.
I again say prim!
A say this small b/c I'm not supposed to be here, but thnx 4 lettin me know!
PRIM WILL BE KILLED!
This still continuing?
yep...
We are waiting for W0Ny WILLy
W0NWILL pick Prim!
I don't vote, since I know who it is.
Oh right :-[, stupid me.
I NEED TO KNOW THE KILLER!
Can I join?
no, you can't, sorry.
I'm clueless as to who it ise. Prim or Psy, it is hard to choose. particuliarly when one doesnt know who it is. I guess I'll go with Prim, since I have to choose, right?
After much discussion, the abbeybeasts took a vote and decided to drive Primrose from the abbey grounds. They all grabbed torches and pitchforks, and they chased after Prim. Prim ran, with the majority of the abbey on her heels, and narrowly escaped through a side gate into Mossflower. Prim never went back to Redwall, and lived in Mossflower alone for the rest of her days.
Sadly, Prim is innocent, and in a few days you'll have another murder to solve.
OOC: That wraps up the first part! I'm going to add a new rule, in that the voting period is a week, so be sure to get your votes in quickly. Now, the assassin and doctor will send their people to kill or save to me, and we'll start it over.
Then I might as well be the next victim, or at least count me out of this game. I'm lucky enough to get on the net in a month. If I have a week to vote, then I hate to say it, but I' wont be playing anymore.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Yes me too.
Are you having new people join?
Next round is the earliest time new people can join. I'll save you a spot.
Several days later, there was another murder. It in the very early morning, a sun just peeked over the abbey wall. Vulpin woke early, and rose from bed. He went down to the kitchens, smiling at the friar, passed out on a bag of flour after a long night of cooking. Vulpin grabbed a scone and headed out the door. In the middle of the grounds he stopped and took a bite from his scone. The assassin smiled, finally, their next target. They drew an arrow...and fired. A terrible pain exploded in Vulpin's shoulder and he had time to whip his head up and see a figure high in the bell tower, evidently they weren't as accurate from far away, before another arrow came and buried itself in his chest. He gasped and collapsed. The assassin quickly exited the bell tower and went into their room, intending to sleep until a creature discovered Vulpin's body, for Vulpin was beyond help.
The gatekeeper screamed upon seeing Vulpin as he exited the gatehouse. He ran into the abbey yelling, "Murder! Another one!" The friar jolted awake and ran out to see for himself as the gatekeeper ran up to the infirmary. Two days earlier, the infirmary keeper had fallen ill, and had been treating themselves with their remedies. Upon hearing the news, the infirmary keeper ran downstairs, sneezing. By now, many abbeybeasts had gathered around Vulpin, none of them daring to move his body. The infirmary keeper knelt by Vulpin and checked for a pulse. The infirmary keeper looked up at the gatekeeper and shook his head, "He's dead Jim."
The abbot thumped his paw on the table, "This cannot go on!" He shouted. The abbot was full of rage on the behalf of dead Vulpin, "Does anyone have any leads, evidence, suspicions, or the like concerning this?"
I think it was Buckler the Leg Buckler.
i think it's leatho shellhound.
