Deathtrap: A Forum RP Game

Forum » Off Topic » Deathtrap: A Forum RP Game 30 posts - page 1 of 3

Welcome to Deathtrap, an experimental role play game adapted for the forum.

The goal is simple: Survive, at all costs! Avoid the suspicion of the insane Friend Computer as you try to make it out of the Deathtrap! (Coincidentally, surviving involves completing the mission.)

The Friend Computer is a hyperintelligent, invincible, ruthless, crazy and dumb-as-rocks AI in control of every aspect of the player's lives. Any actions against the Friend Computer, such as treason, murder, or breathing too loudly are punished with immediate disintegration.

Rules:

The objective is to complete the mission alive.
At the beginning of each round, you are assigned a mission, which you must accomplish under the threat of disintegration.
The Friend Computer (Me) is to punish any blatantly illegal actions with immediate disintegration.
Everyone has six lives and a class.
You are allowed to attack each other. In fact, you can do nearly everything, as long as it's possible.
Happiness is mandatory.
Feel free to make alliances, or to stab someone in the back!

There are three classes, which are randomly assigned:

The Fighter. Diplomacy: The fighter can automatically win a physical engagement once per life. You spawn with a grenade.
The Hacker. l33t Hacking skills: The hackers can temporarily confuse the Friend Computer, to either change the target of Friend Computer's disintegration ray or to bypass a computerized trap, only once per life. You spawn with an Omnitool, basically everything from a screwdriver to an EMP knife to a lug wrench in one.
The Spy. Backstab: The spy can kill another player (send to me via PM) only once per life, and a player will die, without alerting other players or the Friend Computer. You spawn with a knife.

In addition, every player is randomly assigned a special ability, which they use as they see fit, but this is unknown to other players until you use them. These abilities can range from useful to useless, from having minor telekinesis to a permanent runny nose.

Machine Empathy: You can convince the Friend Computer to forgive you, only once.
Lucky: You spawn with an extra life.
Polymorph: You can turn back and forth into ONE specific animal.
Communist: You are a dirty communist.
Acid Spit: You can spit painful acid.
Yellow Clearance: You are of a higher security level than your fellow Red peons.
Robot: You are actually a robot, and do robot things.
Traitor: You can win the game by killing everyone else off.

I daresay I would indubitably be quite entertained should I be allowed to participate in such an interesting game.

Didn't read and didn't understand the rules, also I won't have time to play this. Sign me up. By the way, if there won't be anyone else willing to help you moderate, I would be willing to help you moderate it.

Example of Play:

FC: As soon as you enter the building into a hall, a turret mounted on the ceiling begins shooting at you. You duck under a desk for cover. The turret seems to have unlimited ammunition. There is a doorway on the far side of the hall. What do you do?

Fighter: I grab Player1 and use him as a human shield against the turret.

*player 1 respawns*

Player1: Friend computer, the Fighter killed me. That is against the rules and the Fighter is a Communist Traitor.

Fighter: No, Player1 merely generously volunteered to block the turret's shots while the rest of us went through. Player1 accusing me of using him shows rebellion against the progress of the mission, and therefore against the Friend Computer. He is clearly a Communist traitor.

PC: *disintegrates Player 1*

Mission Briefing:

Greetings, citizens. This is your Friend Computer.

You are to infiltrate the enemy communist base in the Alpha Complex. They have a black CD, contents unknown, that must be retrieved at all costs.

You will be given one armored truck and 500 Styrofoam cups for this mission. You will brief with a BLUE agent outside the target location.

Our R&D department has generously decided to donate their experimental nuclear hand grenades toward the completion of this mission, one for each. Acceptance is mandatory.

You will be accompanied by one medical chimpanzee. He is well-trained with his medical chainsaw and prepared to euthanize if necessary.

The mission will begin in 20 hours.

Have a nice day!

Edit: I decided to wait until tomorrow to start, to set things up and all.

How many people are you planning on having? I'm sure less are needed than the Worgen game, but I think we need more than this to start.

You're right, we do need a bit more. 4 or more players is a good number.
