Round 3 FAQ
Round 3 info
1: What is Round 3's timeline?
The timeline for round 3 is as followed:
March 9th: TDM for round 3
March 15th: reserves for mock round participants open
March 16th: reserves/applications open
March 21st: reserves/applications close at 11:59 pm
March 23rd: round 3 begins
2: What are the round-specific character requirements for apps?
All characters must fit the general requirements listed on the general FAQ, as well as the following:
- They must be age 14 or older, though there is no maximum age.
- They must be about the size of a human. If they could reasonably fit into a human-sized room in a house, and are large enough to use amenities designed for use by a human, then they should be fine.
- They cannot be a witch from the Umineko franchise. Other characters are acceptable, but no witches.
As a note, characters present in round 1 or 2 can be apped into round 3, even if they do not fit the current round requirements. This is limited to the players who played those specific characters in those rounds. For example, the younger Mitsuru from round 1 would be too young to app normally, but if the player from round 1 wanted to play Mitsuru again in round 3 they could. But someone else couldn't come in and play a fresh version of Mitsuru.
3: What are the round-specific game mechanics?
This round is a standard murdergame round! On Monday, we will roll for our murderer, who will then pick their victim. Thursday night their victim will die. On Friday, an investigation will happen, and on Saturday a trial to determine the culprit will be held. Whoever is voted as the culprit will be executed on Sunday.
Powers will be off for this round.
This round will have a mechanic known as the red/blue truth. You can find more information here.
At least one blue truth must be presented each trial. If an acceptable blue truth is not presented by the end of the time limit (6 pm EST), then the group will 'fail' the trial. This does not mean that the game will end! There will be consequences for failing a trial, but the game will continue.
Similarly, players do not need to guess the correct killer! The only trial requirement is 'present a blue truth that the witch accepts'. If someone can present a blue truth that the witch accepts, then the trial will be 'passed', even if the proposed killer is not the actual killer. As a warning: the character named in the blue truth accepted by the witch will be executed, regardless of their guilt or innocence! Please play accordingly.
Finally, there will be no deadland this round. All dead characters are revived on Monday morning. Though they won't be quite the same as they were before...
4: Round 1 revealed that everyone's canons exist in this world. Will my character be 4th walled?
We will ask if 4th walling is alright on your application, and include that information on the taken page. Yes, given the premise of 'everyone's worlds are media in this world', it is possible for any character to have viewed any canon. However, if someone does not want to be 4th walled, we will respect that.
4-B: In relation to that last point, is my character an agent?
For this round, all characters will be agents. Your character can be 'fresh off the boat' and only through with the intake interview, or they can have been an agent for up to six months. You will need to expand on this in your app, so be sure to keep that in mind!
If you need help writing an agent history for your character, don't fret! The mods and several players know SCP and are willing to help out. We will also be posting an 'agent workshop' page after reserves are up, for those who need assistance.
5: Okay, so what's the Schedule look like? How do I play?
MONDAY-THURSDAY: A weekly mingle log will go up every Monday at noon EST. Any previously dead characters will be revived on Monday morning. Weekly missions or explorations may be posted but the post is meant for character interaction and exploring the setting. Any additional missions or explorations will be on the game calendar.
FRIDAY: After Thursday night - Where all characters not involved with the murder will instantly fall into a deep sleep at midnight - an investigation log will be posted to the comm at noon EST. A body (or bodies) and clues will be discovered. Please note that any evidence found by the guests will have to be remembered or brought to trial by the characters themselves. Also keep in mind that this is going to be a difficult round. There may not be enough evidence to accurately point to someone using just the evidence provided.
SATURDAY: A log for the trial will be posted at noon EST, and the trial will come to a close at 6pm EST. The accepted 'blue truth' will decide who is to be executed - and the person chosen will be shut away in a room by the Staff for the night, to have their final meal and sleep. OOCly, You must participate in the trial as part of your AC. After the trial, the Witch will execute the person who was voted out.
SUNDAY: This will be a 'rest' day to finish up threads before the next week begins, and AC for the past week will be posted.
Then, the cycle repeats again.
6: Is there anything I'll need to follow or join in order to keep up with the game?
Yes. Discord is mandatory to have in this game. While we still will keep up with the game's Plurk (![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
scpmods), Discord is where the mods can be easily contacted the most, and where we will answer any game-related questions, as well as pass on any private System Messages needed for the game (such as culprits putting evidence in people's rooms, etc). You don't have to participate in the game chat if you don't want to, but having a discord contact is mandatory.
7: Are there any warnings about the story we should be made aware of?
Yes. Severe body-horror is always a given in this game, given its basis in SCP. This round will also carry a blanket warning for psychological trauma, immolation, and mental abuse. If these themes are troubling to you, then we suggest that you do not participate in this round.
IC INFO
Where am I?
You are at a rather lovely estate, on an island in the middle of an ocean. You remember either being on a mission or in one of The Foundation's facilities - and seeing a small bird...and then waking up in one of the rooms.
Why am I here?
There is a Game that needs playing, and a score to be settled. Worry not, dear participant. I will keep you fed and entertained. This Game is unlike any other, and you're sure to have a good time.
Who are you?
I am a Witch, of course.
Can I go home?
When the game is over.
