More Interest Checks: Multiple ideas

Here's four ideas that I'm able to pin down, right now. First two are new ideas, last two are old RPs that I used to GM.

- Murder/mystery RP. Have a group of RPers, select one to be a murderer, max of 2 to be detectives/cops/FBI special agents/whatever to figure out who the murderer is, the rest become potential victims. The way it could work, is that everyone else RPs, posts and everything, but the victims and detectives have to ignore whatever posts the murderer makes. Whenever the murderer gets an opportunity, he can PM one of the potential "victims" with a kill notice. The murderer and the target now have to become involved in a side-RP that will eventually lead to the victim's death. The murderer has to leave clues behind for the detectives to pick up, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they are. The clues have to point, in some way, to one of the victims or the murderer. The murderer himself can be known to the victims and detectives, but has to conceal himself well enough so as not to attract attention. To keep the RP alive, of course, the applications for victims can be left open. The RP ends when the detectives figure out who the murderer is, accuse him of being the murderer, and proving it with evidence they collected over the course of the RP. A new RP with the same basic premise can be started over and over with the same RPers and same characters (possibly), but with different motives, different murderer, stuff like that. A murderer's ranking can be identified based on the number of successful kills he has. One kill, just a murderer. Two, serial killer. Three and higher, psycopath. 5 and higher, mass murderer.

- Storyline Crossover. Let's say that the entire universe is made up of multiple, smaller "sub-universes", each containing the story, characters and plot-line of a different work of fiction. Marvel, DC, even anime,movie, cartoon and book universes exist. Now, let's say that at a certain day, at a certain time, the universes begin to fall apart. Some universes merge, others collapse into themselves, destroying all life and erasing everything that existed within it. Some of the universes merged, their characters interacted, and they have to figure out a way to reverse the universes destroying each other.

- Music-based RP. This was an old idea of mine, but I think it might be interesting. My basic story was this: a world, powered by music. People owned many different sorts of instruments, guitars, trumpets, flutes and the like, and the music they made balanced out all the darkness in the world. There were some, however, that were corrupted by the dark, their instruments made fiercer and more destructive, and they sought to bring about a new world by destroying the old one. Some of the good musicians, however, possessed instruments that could literally change the world they lived in, and these musicians set out to stop the corrupted ones from destroying all they lived for.

- Horror RP. A group of young adults are on a road trip when the van/bus/mini bus they're in breaks down. Nearby is an old, seemingly abandoned mansion. As the group make their way towards the mansion, their vehicle promptly explodes into a bazillion bits 'n pieces. The group, now stranded without transport enter the mansion, and the entities that inhabit it trap them inside. They have to find a way back out of the mansion and escape from it before the spirits and ghosts drive them insane.

I like Zeh second and zeh last one. <3

The last and second to last.

If I can get, like, enough "votes" to signify which of these RP ideas is the nicest among the users, I'll take that idea and turn it into an RP.

I would be interested in a the storyline and the horror RPs, although the storyline tickles my fancy more.

I think the first idea would be best, and more unique.

My vote is for the first definitely!

Yes, yes it would.


Aaaand, so far I have:

2 votes - Murder-mystery
3 votes - Storyline Crossover
1 vote - Music RP
2 votes - Horror RP

Personally, I'd go for the horror RP or storyline crossover. The music RP worked well, only if I had players that were musically talented. The murder-mystery thing is more of an idea I have in my head.

And now its 4 votes for Storyline and 3 for Horror.

I think I'm gonna make OOC threads for both. I'll link them from here once I'm done.
