Thank you for showing interest in the first round of McMurder! Round 1: Wonderland is setting course to begin and there are a few things we want to take note of since the interest post a few weeks ago.

GAME DATES & TIMES
+ McMurder: Wonderland will run October 8th - October 22nd. There were requests to extend to 2 weeks and I will be reflecting any ooc info in posts to express this!
+ There will be two investigations — October 13th & October 20th.
+ There will be two trials — October 14th & October 21st.
+ Investigation will begin at 6:30 PM while Trials will begin at 1 PM. These are Eastern time, so please plan accordingly.
+ Endgame Departure will be October 22nd and will go up at 1PM.

RESERVES & APPS
+ Reserves will go up September 27th at 6PM to friends on

cirilla's friends list until September 30th at Midnight when the game opens up to friend of friends. Please understand a reserve is a commitment to app. Since the rounds are smaller, slots are precious commodities. Reserve only if you are 100% going to app. After reserves, you're free to begin your tiny application and send it in!

+ Applications be accepted by October 4th. Please comment with the journal you plan on using in game. Comments on the application page will be screened. If selected for a role via your opt-in, you will be contacted through PM on the journal the app was posted — so make sure you're receiving notifs!

GAME MECHANICS
+ Age cap is 14.
+ Franchise cap is 3.
+ The game cap is officially 25.
+ Game is IC 1:1 ratio meaning 1 day IC = 1 day OOC.
+ Characters will be depowered.
+ The game will focus on alliances and thus have a twist of mafia. There will be no suspects presented to you from the mod. This is up to players! We are introducing a mechanic called SUSPICION CHECKS. We will have a top level which allows a suspect to be officially added to a SUSPECT POOL if 5 or more players agree they are suspicious.

This holds no weight on voting or penalizes players outside of creating a clear view of who is being suspected and will last the duration of the trial. The player suspected will have their icon added to the entry for clear visibility. You do not have to vote for players in Suspect Pool, this is once again for herding cats and navigation conversations.

Also, you know, for hitting betray.

+ If you'd like private convos, go for it. There will be a post to gather private convos.

+ There will be four roles — 1 killing, 1 protector, and 2 third parties. You do not have to have a killing role to kill, just message

mcmurder to hash things out.

+ Incentives for killing will be there, but we don't want a 9 murder pile again.

IC INFO
+ Characters awaken in a clearing from a wooded area. They are unable to leave due to the maze of hedges surrounding the area.
+ Characters awaken with an animal mask given to them via the mod.
+ The NPC of Wonderland is not revealed, but they will allow conversations to learn more about the lore around the game's setting.
+ But, since this is McMurder... characters will find their short time in this setting encouraging alignment and alliances with your "kin" (masks), it is up to players to take that advice to heart.

Also! You have until September 23rd to vote for round 2. Follow mcmurder for the game!

If you have questions, feel free to ask them!
