Title: Host a Murder
Post by: Radical_Teen on December 07, 2008, 07:52 PM NHFT
We have a How to host a Murder game. I thought it would be fun to have some people over at the Hoyt Farm (or our new name Animal Farm) and play it. Eight people can play and we need five more to play. So if anyone would like to come and play sign up. We will do this sometime after new years. When we have eight people i will set the specific date.



Date has been set for January 17th. -Kat

I would be happy to play a roll in your game.
I feel myself most qualified because several of the personalities in side my head are actors... or at least think they are.

If it takes place on a weekend, I'd be interested in participating.  I don't know how to play; I assume instruction would be provided.

A while back, we held one of these as a dinner party, and had a great time.  Since each of them is a 'one-time' play (once you know the murderer, you can't replay it), if someone else would like this one, I'd be glad to pass it on.  I've bought a half dozen of these via goodwill-type stores (the others are sitting on my shelves, waiting for other planned parties).  The one I'm passing is a western themed one.

I'd love to play. Am I too late? Am I dead? Did someone already kill me? Can I figure out who it was? Am I talking to myself? Is that bad?
Title: Re: Host a Murder
Post by: Russell Kanning on December 10, 2008, 08:39 AM NHFT
I think I have already been cut out.

One way to play this kind of game is have more than one person play each part.

I have played this particular style game, but most people will be new to it, so the newbies will not get left behind or anything.

It's taking place at the Animal Farm on Saturday, the 17th of January! Just to add to the fun, this will be a pot luck affair; feel free to post what you're going to bring.

The Players for this party are:

Frankenstein
Ms. Jailbird
The Social Butterfly
A Very Radical Teen
She Who Wasted Her Youth
The Kat House Madam
Cardinal Canning
The Libertine

Can't wait, folks, can't wait!

Auwe!! I just remembered why Russell said there were too many people. Mag41 was one of the original guests, so now we have one too many. I've volunteered to exit this party, and will be on hand for support and additional fun!
Title: Re: Host a Murder
Post by: Mike Barskey on December 10, 2008, 11:13 AM NHFT
Ugh! Is it feasible to add a character? If it was obvious which character was not added by the original game, then it would be obvious that character was not the murderer. But if the games works by selecting a random character to be murderer, then maybe we could just keep adding characters. Or maybe we can tweak the game to work for us.

Also, if we are one person too many, I think the last person to join should be the first person out, and I think that's me. I'd still like to participate, somehow, though. Maybe I could be a cop - I wouldn't affect the actual murder party, but I could add some "flavor" to the evening by being a Keystone Cop or something.

i was reading the rule book and it said you can add a privet detective. we could play by the rules or make up our own characters. Either way i think we should play in costume.

That's how I did it with the party we held: there were basic descriptions of each character and I sent that along with the invite to each person.

(most of the games have these descriptions online thanks to the interweb: http://www.boardgames.com/howtohosmurg.html)

I'll post a list of the ones I have, BTW.

Hmmm. Is that some reference to me being vulgar (or "vulgare")? Or do I "hedge" my bets too often?

I'll do my best to conspire with Radical Teen tomorrow so that she can get the rest of the information out for the actual party.

If you could post your dish, then we'll be sure to have a well rounded menu. I'll be making a pate and crackers, both raw. And for brave or foolish souls, I can break out my first batch of homebrew! (It's a basic recipe, and I made a lot of mistakes, but it's beer :D )

Well, in all seriousness, I don't know if I'll be able to bring a dish.  I'm working Friday, have plans for Friday night, it's a 2+ hour drive to Grafton (I've never tried it during snow season before), and we still don't know what time this event is starting.  How about if I pick something up at the grocery store and pretend I cooked it?   :-\

Does everyone eat shrimp? I don't know who's a veg, a vegan, a rawan, allergic, or just generally finicky.  I could make shrimp salad.

Shrimp:  Kira, Teri, Russell, me - no, but don't let that stop you from bringing it for everyone else  :D

I'll probably make the Coq Au Vin Rouge that's supposed to go with the story.  No one here but Russell will eat it, but thought the rest of you would like it.  (Sounds like it's chicken with bacon.)

The game is on regardless, and there were a few of us who didn't have regular characters so we can just step in to fill the 'real' characters.

Kira is juicing, so she won't be 'eating' at all. Kat and I are raw, but Kat's the only pure one as I occasionally fall off the wagon for Annie's macaroni and cheese or pizza! Russell is a good eater, mixing our raw and his cooked foods as he feels like it. John's not here at the moment. As for what to bring to eat, we'll all make sure we have the sort of food we like, and you should just bring something you like, and we'll all share as it delights us. It's all good, it's potluck!

Didn't realize it was about the guy's dads experiences in Vietnam.

Rooster
Alice in Chains

Aint found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he aint gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he aint gonna die

Walkin tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills gainst mosquito death
My buddys breathin his dyin breath
Oh God please wont you help me make it through

Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he aint gonna die
No, no, no ya know he aint gonna die

Yes ... and all the characters will be used plus at least one extra.
I am not in charge of food ... I am just authorized to eat some.
Kira is drinking just juice. so you can bring apples or oranges
Kat and Teri are eating almost everthing raw. they eat anything that fits in a salad
Lauren eats most things ... just keep them seperate :)
Jim, Mike, and I eat most things.

I think they are making the main dish from the game. I bet if you brought stuph that fits in a salad, the would appreciate it. Since Dale isn't coming you could always bring muffins and we can compare them. Since it will be about -1 at gametime, I can always use soup or hot chocolate. :) Hopefully the train will run smoothly.

Wha-HUH? It's gorgeous outside - completely blue sky, sunny day, -3F (in Derry). The Grafton forecast says a high of 12F and partly cloudy today, 60% chance of snow showers tonight, and 26F and 3 to 5 inches of Snow on Sunday. That's too much? You'll never earn your brass balls that way! :)

Maybe we're reading different forecasts?  The one I looked at said "Severe Weather Alert" (for Grafton, not for down here in the valley), snow after midnight and all day Sunday.  Which means that whether or not I spend the night, there's a good chance I'd be driving home on 104 in falling snow (with a broken headlight...  so far, every cop I've passed has been too busy eating donuts or ticketing somebody else to pull me over for that).

Sorry, Ma'am!  :notworthy:

I was reading the short-term forecast for Grafton on weather.com, but I skipped right by that "severe weather alerts" and "winter storm watch" section. I'm not yet used to those having any meaning for me. :) Even in the desert, when a weather warning appeared, it had to do with flash floods in neighboring valleys - never in mine. I have to get in the habit of paying more attention to the weather, here!

Anyway, I hope you brave it and come up - you're way to cool for me to see you as infrequently as I do.

Tonight: Cloudy skies with late-night snow showers. Low 4F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 60%.
Tomorrow: Periods of snow. High 26F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches.

I would guess that would slow you down tomorrow. You might be able to buy a headlight and get it replace up here.

Tonight
Cloudy. A chance of snow in the evening...then snow after midnight. Snow accumulation around an inch. Lows around 4 above. Light and variable winds...becoming southeast around 10 mph after midnight. Chance of snow 80 percent.
   Sunday
Snow. Additional snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Highs in the lower 20s. Southeast winds around 10 mph in the morning... becoming light and variable. Chance of snow 90 percent.
