Murder Mystery Games: A Forum Game

I have caught Satori syndrome: The habit of kidnappi- I mean... advertising this forum called "Murder Mystery Games."
You usually won't be able to find it by just typing that on a browser, so I presented a link here for anyone who passes by this, and in the case people who join forget the URL of the forum, just type in the search bar: drmmo.proboards.com

Now, I can go over the rules, but let's be serious here... who would be able to fully understand the game after reading that whole page (if anyone reads that whole thread to begin with)?  Besides that point, the mechanics are actually quite easy, believe me.  Anyone on the website, if you contact them through Skype, is willing to sum up the rules for you, and to make it simpler, there are people on this forum, who do play the game.

So what is a "murder mystery game"?
~ Simple, imagine mangas such as Doubt or Judge.  Now, let's put you in as the main character instead.  It's more like a role-playing game, to be honest, where one's fate completely depends on the players.  After all, you can do a variety of actions as long as you have been permitted the rights to do it, and it does not go against any rules set beforehand.  Such as in prior games, we all fought a zombie chimera in an isolated lab on space, and controlled puppets in an abandoned mine with our minds.  The mystery can be considered the plot of it all, because there are numerous hosts, most of whom, make their own original games, maps, abilities, and storyline.  As for the murder, well... that's completely up to the players!  You can choose to murder or not; one does not need the "right" to murder, but only the capability to do so.  The difficult part is getting away with murder, because often times, there is a trial that follows suite where people hang who the supposed killer is.
Therefore, you can win a game by murder, or several other ways regarding what the season, itself, is about.

Consequences
~ Well, there are only two I can think of: one of which is frustration for losing or not accomplishing enough, and the second would be that most players in this forum either spend eight hours playing or go AFK (away from keyboard = inactive due to real life problems and time conflicts)

Also, most of the action happens on Skype, so if you look at the forum, it won't seem like much, which is why I shall now be copying and pasting some quotes from the game in the last week!

Skype
(All players are required to have Skype in order to play)
[7/10/2015 11:46:36 PM] Roy Yamazuki: *looks at Rena for any visible weapons* (living one)
[7/10/2015 11:47:40 PM] C | Drias: you see her holding a Cleaver
[7/10/2015 11:47:54 PM] C | Drias: she looks at you like she's debating on whether to chop off your head or not
[7/10/2015 11:48:26 PM] Roy Yamazuki: And you wonder why I keep moving...

[8:16:50 AM] Roy Yamazuki: Does the cranberry god make cranberries, or does the cranberry god just control cranberries?
[8:16:58 AM] Ravan: neither
[8:17:14 AM] Roy Yamazuki: Wha-? So what can the cranberry god do?
[8:17:24 AM] GhostKitty: Dichotomy?
[8:17:24 AM] C | Drias: you all see Ikeda get smacked with a giant umbrella
[8:17:30 AM] Ravan: There's your answer
[8:17:30 AM] Renoca: Cranberry god
[8:17:35 AM] C | Drias: he falls into a pit filled with spiked umbrellas
[8:17:38 AM] C | Drias: and dies horribly
(Doesn't actually happen in-game)

[7/7/2015 3:12:21 PM] Mad Sova: 『We must save Roy from the rock-bottom of loneliness with our power of friendship!』
[7/7/2015 3:12:28 PM] Roy Yamazuki: ...
[7/7/2015 3:12:38 PM] Saber96: ...
[7/7/2015 3:13:01 PM] Roy Yamazuki: Is Wine like... a yandere...
[7/7/2015 3:13:15 PM] Mad Sova: 『Ehhh... Not quite?』

[7/7/2015 12:27:41 PM] C | Drias: no punching allowed
[7/7/2015 12:27:50 PM] C | Drias: unless Darius is punching you
[7/7/2015 12:27:50 PM] Ralium: I'm innocent
[7/7/2015 12:28:08 PM] Roy Yamazuki: What kind of teacher just randomly punches students?
[7/7/2015 12:28:19 PM] C | Drias: they punch misbehaving students
[7/7/2015 12:28:25 PM] Mad Sova: 『Okay』
[7/7/2015 12:28:25 PM] C | Drias: like ones that sleep during assemblies
(At this point, my character was sleeping throughout all of pre-game for role-playing purposes)

Anyways, this post is getting long so I will end it here with one final remark.  All of these quotes were from either personal or private chats, but these are only the handful that I am aware of.  I'm pretty sure other players of the forum have interesting chats also...

An example of one of my favourite stupid moments:
"Examines disc"
[10/07/2015 00:45:09] C | Drias: it has a digital display on it, the display reads: "Temporal Displacement: 336 hours"
[10/07/2015 00:45:16] C | Drias: underneath the display are red and green buttons
[10/07/2015 00:45:28] Venelop3: "press green button"
[10/07/2015 00:47:13 | Edited 00:47:20] C | Drias: the digital display flashes "ERROR"
[10/07/2015 00:47:24] C | Drias: and then goes back
[10/07/2015 00:47:39] Venelop3: "tries red button"
[10/07/2015 00:49:12] C | Drias: the disk explodes
[10/07/2015 00:49:29] Venelop3: "oops"
[10/07/2015 00:50:17] Venelop3: "Is Roy's arm okay?"
[10/07/2015 00:51:08] C | Drias: there's a scorch mark on it
[10/07/2015 00:51:19] C | Drias: also, if you didn't realize it before, Roy is very dead
[10/07/2015 00:51:39] Venelop3: "Just making sure I didn't blow his arm off"

Yes, the murdering is quite fun! Especially when everyone votes you in the trial as an innocent! Much fun! And, I'm working on a season right now, so when it's done, you can join and die under my leadership ^.^ it will be much fun. The Masterminds (kind of like GM's) are really nice and the games are really fun!
