Player Scenarios:

Spoiler

Split Up Scenario 1:

You're walking around, hoping to find a telephone that works.  None of them do.  Your cell phones are too out of range to get a signal as well, leading to the conclusion that you're stuck on the mountain.  You remember that the ski lifts are still an option since they were what allowed you to make it up in the first place.  While considering what you should do, one of your guests, Taury Love, walks up to you and asks if you've found anything.

Truth: Tell her about your idea (Negative path - Taury kills Jin)
Lie: Tell her you didn't find anything (Positive path.  Taury believes you and gives you a clue that she found, giving you insight for next Split Up session)
No action: Don't say anything (Neutral path - Nothing happens)

Split up Scenario #2:

You're helping look around the basement when you find a machete sitting on one of the shelves. You're about to pocket it when Nyx Noxina, a friend, sees that you have it.  She offers to hold onto it for you and says that she can use it to  cut some rope for climbing and hopefully find a way to scale down the mountains.  As you're discussing it, Jin Bestus, Taury's boyfriend overhears as he walks into the basement and politely requests that you hand it to him, since he knows that it'd be better used for defensive purposes.  What do you do?

A) Give the machete to Nyx (Negative Path- Protects one of the Psychopaths from a Wendigo attack in that phase)
B) Give the machete to Jin (Positive Path - Protects one of the good guys from an attack in that phase)
C) Keep the machete to yourself (Neutral Path - Does nothing that phase, but comes into play later on, altering the next scenario)

Split Up Scenario #3

You decide to take a couple of friends to the ruins of the old Sanitorium, thinking that there may be some clues inside.  You arrive to find the place almost completely destroyed, with few pieces standing to give it the look of an actual ruin.  Forging onward, the three of you search the different wings splitting up to cover more ground.  You make it to the ruins of what used to be the chapel, as you make your way inside.

As you're walking through the chapel alone, you hear a sound, as you turn to see yourself face to face with what looks to be a wolf.  Nearby is a flare, and you'd have time to reach it before the wolf strikes.

A) Use the flare (Positive path: Lose the machete, but gain the flare...which protects from the Wendigo for the next night (can be chosen to give to a friend)
B) Use your Machete (Negative Path: Lose the machete and render yourself useless for next phase)
C) Try to calm the wolf (Neutral Path: Does nothing, but alters the next scenario)

Split up Scenario #4

You walk to the basement again to explore, finding a door that seems as if it has no handle on your side.  Curious, you grab a weapon and break the door down, discovering that behind it lays an unknown passage.  You follow the passage and find yourself near an elevator shaft, with no elevator in sight.  You look down to see a journal sitting in the little area where the doors would normally be closed against, as seems to call to you to open its pages and learn its secrets.  As you pick it up, you hear the voice of Jin, as him and Colby walk up to you.  They seem both interested in the area that you discovered, as well as the journal that you found.

A) Keep the journal to yourself and read it. (Neutral Path - Gives the Stranger a point)
B) Give the Journal to Jin (Positive Path - Gives a good player Insight for the next Split Up session)
C) Give the Journal to Colby (Negative Path - Wendigo is automatically defended from Psychopath attacks from now on

Split Up #5

You find yourself in the bowels of the mines, looking for any possible clues about the Wendigo or the stranger.  One of your friends is accompanying you, insistent that exploring alone is dangerous.  As you're searching around in the water where you're standing, your hand hits something, as you grab it and pull it up.  It's a small box.  There's something about this box that doesn't entirely sit well with you, but at the same time, it feels like whatever is inside could be a clue that you're looking for.

1) Open the box (Positive Path- Player is given automatic insight on a bad guy)
2) Smash the box - whatever's inside couldn't be good. (Neutral Path...your foot just hurts)
3) Put the box back. (Negative Path - Bad guys get to use Insight for the next Split Up

Split Up #6

Going deeper into the unknown area through the basement, you come across a room with a few dusty old mannequins.  Sitting nearby is also an old dusty laptop that looks as if it's been sitting for a while.  You also see the power cord is there, and that despite the many years of collected dust, it somehow still works...barely, but enough for one last look.  You remember that Lauren is pretty much a bookworm, so she might be the person to take it to.

1) Look at the contents of the Laptop (Positive Path - The next Psychopath attack is automatically sabotaged)
2) Leave the laptop alone (Neutral Path - Nothing happens)
3) Take the Laptop to Lauren (Negative Path - The laptop explodes and renders Lauren useless for that Split Up

Split Up #7

Still reeling over the loss of the last lookout, you decide to check out their murder scenes for clues.  At each location, you find a piece of evidence: At Albert's, you find a piece of gum.  At Elliot's, a strand of hair.  Finally, at Gerri's, you find a press on nail.  Each is curious in its own way, but you find it difficult to tell which one is the most important.

1) Look into the piece of gum further (Negative Path - You're led on a goose chase and lured out by the Wendigo, who learns your true identity))
2) Look into the strand of hair further (Neutral path - its your own hair)
3) Look into the press on nail further (Positive Path - It's Saphira's nail.  You gain her as an ally).

Split Up #8

With the loss of Lauren and the curious nature of Nyx's behavior, you decide to investigate where she last was and see what you can find.  You retrace her steps to her last location after Lauren's murder: one of the spare bedrooms.  Inside the room, you find a few things out of place: a portrait on the wall that's tilted, a sitting nearby out of the pot, and a book learning partly away from the shelf.

A) Fix the picture (Neutral path - The picture falls and reveals something on the back.  A player of your choosing gets an extra vote in the next phase)
B) Put the flower back in the pot (Positive Path - A secret drawer is revealed, as well as a notebook containing clues that give a random good guy an extra life)
C) Push the book in (Negative Path - A secret room is revealed as well as an eerily binded book containing clues that give a random bad guy an extra life)

Split up #9

You're walking through the woods when you hear another set of footsteps in the snow. You didn't tell anyone that you were going to explore the woods, so none of the friends would know that you were there unless you were followed.  You decide to run instinctively, as the second set of footsteps increases in speed as well.

A) Find a place to hide (Neutral Path - You remain hidden from them)
B) Keep running, hopefully you'll outrun them. (Negative Path - You're blinded by the snowstorm...but so are they.  You realize too late that the person following you was a good guy, as they fall to their death)
C) Stop and confront the person chasing you (Positive Path - You confront the person and learn that it's a friend making sure you're okay.  You learn their identity and they yours)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have to say this was probably the most difficult game that I've hosted before...but I'm very proud with how active it was.  Everyone did a great job, and 100 pages is no easy feat for a game.

My only concern is when it was asked multiple times for the dead to not speak during the Team Discussions, and people did anyways.  For the final part of the last phase it was okay since I was asking for input...but come on, guys.  The rules aren't there just to look pretty.  I ask things like that because it keeps the players fully into the game, rather than being pulled out because the dead says something that catches their attention.

It also prevents the dead from saying something that could influence the votes of the living.

I realize I had completely spaced out on making a Dead PM...but with as many dead that we had, that would have been a monumental task among itself.  Though I imagine it would have been insanely active.

Like I said, I also won't be using a completely immortal character again.  That was an oversight on my part since I didn't foresee the game ending like it did.  If anything, he should have mimicked the Elder in just having 2 lives...or future-wise he could be a role that is killed off and taken off the remaining players list...but can post as a dead character if allowed...but at the same time still working behind the scenes with their power.

Anyways...what are your thoughts?

I had no idea Hydra was the Wendigo.

Very good game played by the bad guys.

X-post:

Hydra and I actually discussed the game face-to-face multiple times. I didn't even suspect him until the last few rounds.

Well played, Hydra, well played.

I'll also add this here for good measure:

Winners:
@xXTheHydraXx - Colby E. Rius (The Wendigo)
@Barnes - Tumara Smith (The Player)
@taulover - Barry Blargson (A friend)
@Laurentus - Nyx Noxina (Psychopath - Deceased)
@HannahB - Hannah Montana (Psychopath - Deceased)
@Lumenland - Taury Love (Psychopath - Deceased)
@Samwise Gamgee - Arak Gon (Psychopath - Deceased)
@Broddring Empire - Rass D. Natone (Psychopath - Deceased)

Honorable mentions:
*Most Valuable Bad Guy Magnet: @Evelynx
*Most unexpected to survive until round 8: @Wintermoot
*First person as Seer to not die until late in the game: @Colberius X at Round 7.
*Most uncreative death scene: @Frozen as the Face-down Sarah Smohl, who died from something unknown in the snow.
*Strangest character reveal: @Bootsie as Deckard Cain from the Diablo series
*

And I was just sharing how I believe Hydra is the Wendigo, purely because he keeps pulling the "busy" card. Well played Wendigo, I didn't notice it until I died. Meanwhile, Laurentus really pulled off a stunt by killing off his own allies. Congratulations to all survivors.

Lol, and I meant every word of it when I said I was just buying time.

When Hannah came to Eve's rescue, I knew right then that it was over for me, Hannah and Crush.

So what is it that made you suspect the link between me and Lumenland, Sapphiron? Was it that under normal circumstances, I would have suspected her?

I voted for Hydra once, and I was going to vote for them next but got killed off ;-;

Man, it would have been great if we could have publicly revealed Hydra as the Wendigo. We could immediately have begun working with him.

I had almost forgotten that the player wasn't allowed to speak, so I came up with a post for that in the meantime:

dead

Had I had time to post again (I was at work), I would've said after the accusations "fine. But you'll lose. You'll kill me, and the wendigo gets another of us, and it's over." I hadn't taken into consideration that the player remained alive. And if I'd even said that, it'd have been illegal.

And I kind of figured I'd be the most suspicious this round. I had to keep talking to keep the conversation going! No one was doing anything! Consider me to be the sacrificial martyr then, I guess

Although, I should mention, from the start I had full intent on being the last psychopath in the game, oops? ;-;

Although, I should mention, from the start I had full intent on being the last psychopath in the game, oops? ;-;

Truly you were the evilest of us all. Your adorableness made you the best of us until the very end.

Gosh dangit.

I hadn't meant to be evil ;o;
*sniffles*

I have class now, I'll talk to you guys more later! \(^o^)/

Quote when Sapphiron suspected Lumenland:

Sapphiron suspects me? His head will roll!

Not evil at all.

Senpaaaiii I was kidding ಥ_ಥ
