Overlord's Orders XI

[James Gryphon]

Welcome to the eleventh regular round of Overlord's Orders.

I'm not sure where to take this round yet thematically. Most likely, though, it will jump off from the ending of round IX, and take place in the world established by OOs II, III and IV. Reading up on those rounds is highly recommended -- some events there might play a role in this game. If I don't announce otherwise, assume that this is what it's going to be.

The Rules
We will have an overlord (or overlady), 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 issuing a task, sending out their servants, and then summoning everyone before them and questioning them about whether they got the thing they wanted.
Any given round may have anywhere from a developing storyline and plot to pure and simple tasking. At times, the gamemaster (Overlord) may deviate from the general pattern and do something different at the end than just another task.

Example Round:
Let's say the Overlord might have wanted a jeep to use.
Stage 1: Introduction
The Overlord sends out their servants on a task and they return, and the Overlord will question their servants and ask them why they failed to bring them the thing they wanted (which will invariable happen, no one ever succeeds).
Stage 2: Defenses
Players 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 fault.
Everyone can then 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.
Stage 3: Punishment
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.

Player defenses may not exceed 750 words per post. Unless your post has gotten noticeably quite long, you are unlikely to be hitting this limit.

Inter-game rules: The winner of any round is given host-ship of the next game. This can tie in with them going from servant to overlord, or it can be original.

General Guidelines:
Free roleplaying, or game spam, is fine. This means having yourself eat a banana, talk about the weather or river dance.

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.

Godmoding pertaining to persons should be restricted to some extent, just try to keep things with at least a hand in plausibility. Powerplaying is allowed. However, it cannot affect players between tasks. For instance, you cannot have a servants contract a disease and be unable to speak, or even die. You can have them be sick during the task, but you cannot impede them during the Sessions before the Overlord.

Normally, the Gamemaster will have technology restricting servants to a base during the game to prevent physically roleplaying and keep the game focused on its purpose. Overlords can powerplay.
Also, you cannot use an excuse like being brainwashed or cloned during the task. You are you-and you are responsible for what you did wrong.
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.

[LT Sandpaw]

I'll do it count me in.

[Delthion]

Never played this game before, so I am really excited!

[SilentSam]

I'm not sure about Soren, but if Soren is new to this game, everyone is new to this so far.

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

"Add me", said the otter to the bird lion.

I have great expectations for this round.

[Søren]

I'm not sure about Soren, but if Soren is new to this game, everyone is new to this so far.

I am new, but Tagg there has managed a whole bunch of these.

[SilentSam]

I'm not sure about Soren, but if Soren is new to this game, everyone is new to this so far.

I am new, but Tagg there has managed a whole bunch of these.

Yes, but I said that before Tagg came. 

Anyway, when does this start?

[James Gryphon]

Probably in four or five days, although if there aren't at least six people by then, I might hold it off for longer.

[LT Sandpaw]

Will we be starting soon?

[Delthion]

Probably in four or five days, although if there aren't at least six people by then, I might hold it off for longer.

[Søren]

[LT Sandpaw]

DON'T DO IT SUSPENSE IT's NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!
