(mini round) interest check
INTEREST CHECK
Greetings.
Hello, everyone! This is the official interest check for Mayoi Game, a private murdergame modded by Sarah (Plurk: ribcageblooms), Tori (Plurk: odasaku), and Coco (Plurk: amplitude/niisans). You must be on at least one of our timelines to play in this game.
Mayoi Game is intended to be a standalone prequel to a game that the mod team has planned for the first half of 2022, but the outcome of this prequel game and character decisions made during the course of the game will not affect the main storyline. We intend to use this prequel round to trial run some of the mechanics and ideas that we want to implement for the main game, and we'd like you guys to be able to use this as a trial run, too!
Returning characters from the prequel round (if you decide that they're a good fit and want to play them in the main game) will experience a memory wipe/memory loss of their time and events in the mock round, though they'll also have a faint sense of deja vu.

Setting
Keeping with the time of the year, our game is planned to have and deal with themes of horror (survival and psychological horror) and the supernatural. Think darker, creepier versions of Spirited Away, Hotel Del Luna, Umineko and Fatal Frame.
Characters will be transported to a beach resort that is completely unpopulated, as is the surrounding area. During the day, things are as they seem: Desolate, but the sun is shining and there's a cool ocean breeze every now and then. At night, though, things start to twist and contort in mysterious ways.

Who can I app?
Due to the themes in Mayoi Game, we ask that all characters be 16 and above. If you're interested in apping a younger character (ages 14-15), please feel free to check in with us first based on game suitability! Essentially, characters should be able to handle themselves if they’re suddenly dropped in the middle of a haunted forest and have to fight or find their way out. Not that we’re saying that it can happen, but.
We will accept canon characters and OCs. We do not take canon OCs, CRAUs, AUs, or duplicates.
Powers will be nerfed on arrival, but we will be allowing for characters to have a small inventory of items/weapons with them, within reason.

Game Info
This is a mass execution game, meaning that there will be no scapegoating mechanic.
We will be trying out a murder proposals system, meaning that anyone interested in being a culprit can fill out a form with their potential victim list, a rundown of how their character would murder, and provide us with a motive to dish out to the entire game that would drive their character to kill! Some example motives are: Destroying a place characters may be fond of, exposing everyone's deepest darkest secrets, and so on so forth. If we do not get enough murder proposals, then we will use RNG to pick out the victim(s) and culprit(s).
We are looking at having 15 slots but we will potentially bump it up to 20 if there’s a lot of interest, with a cap of 2 characters per canon.
Roles will be involved as a way for us to see how they may work in the actual game. No private conversations for the mini round.
We will have check-in AC.

Schedule
Mayoi Game will start on Sunday, October 31st and is scheduled to run for three weeks. There will be a case every week, with endgame to come immediately after the final case. Reserves will open on Saturday, October 23rd at 12PM EST. You must have a reserve to apply. We will close reserves on Monday, October 25th at 10PM EST or when all slots are filled; whichever one comes first.
Applications will open on Saturday, October 23rd at 6PM EST or when reserves close; whichever one comes first. We will not be asking for a full application for this round, but we would like to still get an idea of who your character is, hence why we are asking people to fill one out.
Investigations will be every Friday at 6PM EST. We realize that this is much later than most investigations, but the mods’ schedules are kind of wacky, so this was the best time for us. It will be cut off at the six hour mark but we don’t think you guys will need that much time to investigate, since you won’t be missing any evidence.
Trials will be every Saturday starting at 12PM EST. They will go for seven hours max -- though we don’t think you guys will need the full seven hours -- but we will give extensions if they are needed!
Player-driven executions will be every Sunday starting at 3PM EST. We will be allowing for player executions because hurting your CR with emotions is always fun. The weekly log will be posted a few hours after the executions wrap up.
Check-in AC will be due Tuesdays at 6pm EST.

Invite: Coco/Tori/Sarah
Preferred contact:
Timezone: EST
Character considerations: Sandalphon from Granblue Fantasy?! Zena from Dragalia Lost...?! Honestly I have no clue here at the moment and I tend to swap picks on a whim so take these names with a grain of salt anyways tbh
Likelihood: Medium/high?! It really depends on what's going on for me around that time but if I'd love to join if I'm free!
Questions/Concerns: This may or may not be a big concern considering the game is only running for 3 weeks, but considering the players submitting the murder proposals will be deciding the motives, how is the motive going to be decided if there's more than one case/proposal for that week?
Anything else: the duality of Sandalphon (source)

Additionally, our proposal form will also most likely have a field indicating whether the potential culprit would need a motive to murder, or if they would still go ahead with murdering if they have their own motivations outside of a given motive (e.g. you are playing a Murder Gremlin who would just like to knife someone really hard).
Let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns!
