MURDER PROPOSALS

Murder Proposals

Living la vie en rose? Every rose has its thorns, and every red petal may just hide a little secret...

Bellelurette is going to be mainly run on murder proposals, and we encourage and welcome all of your ideas and wishes for all the stabs of your dreams.

Now, here's the right and proper etiquette: murder proposals for the current week will be due each Tuesday by 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST. You may also submit proposals for future weeks! If no proposals are submitted in time, we will RNG for that week's case, but we'd truly prefer for our players to step up! The lords and ladies of the castle are meant to be forward-thinking, no?

We will get back to submitted murder proposals by Tuesday evening at the latest: your proposal may be accepted, deferred in case too many proposals have already been submitted for the week, or denied depending upon the needs of the game. We will always provide details on next steps and reasoning for you.

Below is a murder proposal form to serve as guidance. Please note that this is to help you put down ideas, and that there's no need to get overly detailed (you don't have to fill out everything on the form down to the nitty-gritty); we'll be working with you and the victim throughout the week to put everything together, so there only needs to be a starting point.

Murder Proposal Form

Player: It's you!
Character(s): Your character, and any accomplices that may be involved

Time: Can be the current week, a future week, and/or a time of murder, if you have it
Proposed Victim(s): Please list up to 3 potential victims in order of preference
Murder Details: Can include anything from an outline to a rough murder method you've been wanting to try to just something like 'I'd like my murderer to pick their vic at random'.
Other: Anything else!

Counter Proposals

We’ll also be allowing murder counter-proposals on a limited basis. This is like a murder proposal, but it takes effect in the event that your character or a character that yours is specifically watching is targeted for murder. You must designate which characters you would be countering, so it’s a bit of a guessing game based on CR; counters also expire at the end of each week, so you will need to resubmit them for the following week.

The counter will work differently depending on the parties involved and the discussion among you and the other involved players. In order to successfully counter for yourself, you only need to pick the right counter target, in which case your character would be involved in a murder case with their would-be murderer. However, if you counter for someone else, you must pick the right victim to protect and the right culprit to protect from. In the event that these conditions are met, the victim will live, but the protector and the culprit will be the ones involved in the murder case and must decide who dies.

You may have up to two counter proposals per week. This is independent of the number of characters involved in the counter. For example, you may submit "Alice and Bob are teaming up and watching out for any suspicious moves from Caren" and then Alice and Bob can still submit for one further individual counter to a target of their choosing. You may also have a counter proposal and a murder proposal active at the same time for the current week (in other words, in order to have a murder proposal, your counter limit is lowered by 1); in that case, the counter proposal would take priority.

Counters will be due at the same time as murder proposals, Tuesday by 4 PM EST / 1 PM PST.

You’re free to provide details of how you’d like to do the counter, but it will work like a murder in that the bulk of the details will be worked out with the other involved player(s).

Counter Proposal Form

Player: It's you!
Character(s): Your character, and any other characters that may be involved (such as anyone they would be countering for)

Proposed Counter Target: Name your target
Counter Details: Similar to a murder proposal, this can include anything from an outline to a rough murder method you've been wanting to try to just something like 'My character would yell at them a lot first’
Other: Anything else!
