Okay, major announcement.
Apparently no one else is interested in the game and i'm starting it now. You are all free RP players now. One of you is the killer. Use me as your "game.exe" and play online.
STARTS NOW

Remember, this is a fully-optional RP with me as your interpreter. You can do absolutely whatever you want as long as you keep the basic structure on.

^ aside, what are we supposed to do? Before the killer acts, that is. If we do nothing, it's going to be a long wait.

BREAKING NEWS
Alexandr Noskov, a Russian multi-midnight club owner was shot in the head earlier this morning. The bullet was recognized as an elongated sniper shot, although the distance and kind of the shot isn't yet established.
The police is now investigating the crime scene.

fuck's sake. This game is flawed. I didn't even get a chance to do anything, just wait in anticipation to be shown how I am murdered. Only the killer would experience fun, and you just keep hurling names at him so he can kill them. Next time, it'd be better for you to have made your own murder and hurled some clues. There is not even as to when it happened, where it happened, what did my character do the whole other day, with whom did he meet. You only give extremely tiny clues. You made the game flawed by not giving the poor "chosen one" the name you gave the killer first to kill a chance to investigate! As devour have said, it's truly just a game where you decide who lives and who dies.

Hmmm...Maybe he should've made it so that the killer needs two turns to kill. The first will be the planning, while the second will ne the aftermath. And during those course of time, you can perform certain actions to be safe, ie. staying at the police station, but it makes you unable to investigate (and the safety is not guarenteed)
That should be more ideal, and you should seriously build the town first before letting the killer loose.
EDIT: And is it just me, or the identities are all flavor text?

I know fucking right. There should be more than just "a man was killed." where he was killed, when, the eyewitnesses..

I gave everyone a chance to investigate. You were unlucky enough to be the first exception. Sorry bro, but if you want a straight face you gotta sacriface. :(
Other than you, the game now turned completely on and the hunt starts. A couple people have already started manipulating their characters.
If you still wanna play, i can generate you a new identity.
Lastly, u r forgetting: I am not the manipulator of the game. You are. Go out there, ask people if they saw anything. It's your job, not mine. This is an RP where you post your actions as text, and i interpret it into our city. This first murder started the game, so now everyone can start investigating, including you. (If you generate a new identity)

Oh, can I generate a new identity, then? If so, sure, get me a new guy.

So, when someone dies, you generate a new character for them? This ensures the game never ends?

When a killer has been found, you put it up on the op as some kind of scoreboard and then generate them an innocent character?

E.G.

User- - - - Successive Kills
Player 1 // 1
Player 2 // 3
Player 3 // 1

Would that work? Then we have a constant game, with no limit on players and a form of competition to motivate the killer in making a better story.
