Boof Posted October 16 A Night (or several) at the Theatre Lockdown has eased in JKBville and the local theatre company has been rehearsing over Zoom and are ready to let the critics in for their dress rehearsal. There are 5 critics who can’t believe that this show is being put on and want to close it down. They will do anything they can - including nightly murder attempts - to get their own way. Despite being attention-seeking failed thespians, they are trying their best to remain hidden. The Stage Manager will be trying their best to ensure that the show goes on. They can check out someone every night to see if they really ARE who they claim to be. The Stage Manager will be ably assisted (they hope) by the backstage crew - props manager, make-up artist and costume designer. Trying their best to protect the vulnerable luvvies and crew is the Director. They can give them some medication to thwart any attempts on their lives. Someone you’d expect to be working for the production, but really in it to win it for themself is the lighting technician. If Sparky cuts the lights - someone won’t be seeing any more action when they come on again. Someone else out to grab all the attention and plaudits is the writer. They know everything about everybody but need to be careful what they do with that information. Too free and easy with it and they might find themself incurring the wrath of the game moderator...an experimental role just to see what folk think. And finally the cast. I assume you’ll all be claiming to be ‘just a cast member’ to throw the roled folk off the scent. If you want to be creative and come up with a role - MacBeth, Willy Loman, arse end of a horse...it’s up to you! So, to summarise: Goons Evening News theatre critic Sunday Post arts specialist People’s Friend och, I’m fair missing the plays and things columnist Viz why-aye, ony noodie bits? reporter Peebles Gazette pages from the past compiler Good guys Stage Manager (Cop) Props Manager (Mason) Make-up artist (Mason) Costume designer (Mason) Director (Doc) And the ‘could be good but maybe not’ duo Sparky the lighting technician (Assassin) Writer (Devil’s Advocate) Goons win if they eliminate enough people through night-whacks and influencing lynches to leave them with a majority. Writer wins if they are last roled player left alive. Sparky wins if they are last roled player left alive Town/theatre wins if they eliminate all goons. So the game will end on a goon win or a town win. Town win could also give an individual win. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yvonnejambo Posted October 16 Still buzzing from the match tonight and happy to be a cast member in this. I should be able to think of a role to be seen as I actually did run a theatre in real life, but all I can think of is panto characters at the moment 😂 Anyway if I was stage manager I would use bs but I’m not.

Smack Posted October 16 No deadline then? Strap in for a long day one full of thrills and spills! Would investigate Ian if I was the cop, simply because it made him furious the last game when I said the same and he turned out to be a goon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boof Posted October 16 There will probably be a deadline. I'm torn between Saturday 9pm or Sunday 9pm. If there's plenty of chat and interaction I'd be more inclined to go for Sunday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boof Posted October 16 That's the thing - nobody wants nearly 48 hours of idle, bland chit-chat. Would folk be generally happy with a Saturday 9 pm deadline? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
