Hinckley Posted October 10, 2013 Players only please! "Oh no. Someone killed Craig." "It must've been one of us." "What do we do?" "Let's lynch people until we find all the bad people." "OK..."

Non-playing Characters Host, Male, played by Hinckley Co-Host, Male, played by TrumpetKing Players (13) Anne Truitt, Female Brice Marden, Male Carl Andre, Male Dan Flavin, Male Donald Judd, Male Ellsworth Kelly, Male Eva Hesse, Female Frank Stella, Male Jo Baer, Female John McCracken, Male Robert Mangold, Male Sol Lewitt, Male Tony Smith, Male Objective: The Scum win when they have outnumbered the Town. The Town wins when all of the Scum are dead. The Rules: You may not reveal or pretend to reveal your true identity throughout the course of the game. Doing so will result in the immediate death of your character. Likewise, be extra certain you do not post in the game as your real Eurobricks identity. If this gives away which character you are playing, this rule will be applied to that action. Each player will be given a character to play, who will be aligned with either the Town or the Scum. To win the game, the Town must kill off all of the Town, while the Scum must outnumber the Town. Each day you will be able to vote to lynch a player. Voting should be done in the following format only; Vote: Character. Similarly, unvoting is to be done in this format only; Unvote: Character. No other format will be accepted. You may also proxy your vote to another player, using this format; proxy: Character. Naturally, unproxying a vote is also possible. The player with the most votes is lynched. In the case of a tie, there will be no lynch. A game day will last a maximum of 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will not end when a majority vote has been reached. If there is time left, a majority vote can be over-turned. After the day has concluded, a night stage will commence, which will last a maximum of 24 hours, unless otherwise noted. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 20 hours of the night stage, or they will not be accepted, no exceptions. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to or from you in PM with the game host. This includes all the details and pictures of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. You may not quote PMs from or to other players. Paraphrasing is allowed but no direct quoting. Please refrain from quoting PMs in the game threads and in private. Do not play the game outside the thread. Similarly, do not post out of character inside the thread. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players. Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. Violation of this rule will result in a multiple game suspension. You may not edit your posts. You must post in every day thread. You must vote in every day thread. If you have a Night Action, you are required to use it every night, unless otherwise noted. If you have a Night Action, you may not target the same player on three consecutive nights. If you encounter a problem or have a question, please contact the host or co-host via PM. Please please please use only the confirmation PM sent to you to communicate with the hosts if you can. Violation of the above rules will result in a penalty of one vote per every four living players (1/4 of the active players list) on the first violation and replacement by another player on the second. If you verbally abuse another player (definition of abuse will be left up to the game hosts and games moderator), you will be removed from the game and never asked to play one of my games again. Don't be a dick. Some additional guidelines, although they are not rules that will incur penalties if you don't follow them: The pictures may or may not contain clues. They most likely do not, but look all you want. Wildly speculate. It's fun. Using acronyms, especially tl;dr, or any 7334 speak will cause major trouble for your character, perhaps even instant death. Roleplaying is a good thing and it is encouraged in this game. You are all playing real people so google your name and have some fun. You have all been sent a role PM in this format: Character: ... Artwork: Your block buddy represents this work of art: Role: ... Affiliation: Town or Scum Best of luck and have fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John McCracken Posted October 10, 2013 If we all say: It wasn't me, then surely the last person to say it must be the killer! I'll start off. It wasn't me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Mangold Posted October 10, 2013 I have a sneaking suspicion that the killer was rectangular, and square on top. Hmm.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brice Marden Posted October 10, 2013 Dang, somebody died but there's so little to go on. I think I'll go paint something a solid color and sell it for millions of dollars. That always helps me feel better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anne Truitt Posted October 10, 2013 Why would someone murder such an innocent rectangle? I have a sneaking suspicion that the killer was rectangular, and square on top. Hmm.... The power of deduction is strong with this one; watch out everybody, Sherlock is in the house! How could you possibly know that. Ping pong. A bit early to toss Pings and Pongs around don't you think?

Frank Stella Posted October 10, 2013 No! Not Craig! He was always so unique and different, he had no trouble standing out in a crowd--why would someone what to kill him? I know I didn't have anything against him, but it seems some person here does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jo Baer Posted October 10, 2013 Oh no, Craig's dead! He was such a ... minimalist Bah, you all look the same to me, how are we going to tell anyone apart? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Mangold Posted October 10, 2013 Bah, you all look the same to me, how are we going to tell anyone apart? The only ones I can remember so far are Frank Stella and Donald Judd, since I saw their work at the museum a while back. The rest of the names will click in shortly, I'm sure.

Carl Andre Posted October 10, 2013 Good night, sweet Craig. I'm not really sure who the hell you were, or why someone killed you, but we'll bring whoever it was to justice! On that topic, how could one of us have held a weapon to him? Maybe whoever it was bludgeoned him with one of their sharp corners?? No! Not Craig! He was always so unique and different, he had no trouble standing out in a crowd--why would someone what to kill him? Really? He looked just like the rest of us, from what I can see. Bah, you all look the same to me, how are we going to tell anyone apart? I'm with you on this one, dude. The only one I can tell apart from the others is you, and that's because you've already gone all white in the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donald Judd Posted October 10, 2013 Poor Craig. Let's lynch the perpetrators. A bit early to toss Pings and Pongs around don't you think? It's never too early for pingpong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John McCracken Posted October 10, 2013 On that topic, how could one of us have held a weapon to him? Maybe whoever it was bludgeoned him with one of their sharp corners?? You can hide stuff in the space underneath your square 'feet'. Not that I have any experience with doing such things. Also, does anyone have a good idea of what method to use for lynching? Because unless someone decides to do some kind of gambit or project role information, we will have literally nothing to go on. Oh no, Craig's dead! He was such a ... minimalist Don't speak about Craig in such a way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anne Truitt Posted October 10, 2013 Also, does anyone have a good idea of what method to use for lynching? Because unless someone decides to do some kind of gambit or project role information, we will have literally nothing to go on. Judging by the high quality content of the previous interventions, it is fair to say that no one has a strategy this early; since you brought up the subject, what do you propose?

Sol LeWitt Posted October 10, 2013 Also, does anyone have a good idea of what method to use for lynching? Because unless someone decides to do some kind of gambit or project role information, we will have literally nothing to go on. I guess the only thing we can do is keep talking. It looks like we have to vote though. Don't speak about Craig in such a way! When did "minimalist" become a bad word? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anne Truitt Posted October 10, 2013 Has anyone taken the time to read through each other's Bio? I'm splitting hair and WILDLY speculating but based on what I could read, it appears that some of us have pre-existing bonds, some of us even lived together; is it worth exploring these connections? Also I was given a work of art on which my 'rectangle' is based; mine was a sculpture, what were yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brice Marden Posted October 10, 2013 Well, I think it's time for wild speculation. I'm going to say: Dan's Scum! Why? It's all in the picture... look at the crime scene photo. There's hints everywhere. On the left, there's stacks of green, yellow, and blue bricks. Who is the closest to that color scheme? Dan! In the back, that red wall looks kinda (if you squint enough) like an arrow to the right. Who's farthest right in the group? Dan! In the middle, there's a bunch of trans bricks. Who's the only one of us with trans parts in their body? Dan! Rampant speculation for the win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Smith Posted October 10, 2013 What a basic opening. Very minimalist...oh, wait, I get it. Are we supposed to talk minimalist too? I think the Host will get mad if we talk incoherently. I wonder who killed Craig. I have an idea everyone, let's check our sides. Whoever has a clip that can support a gun must be a killer, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
