Trapped in the Basement, Part 1
The year is 2011, and mafiascum's number 1 poster, "Kenny", has decided he is finally able to host a meetup. He posts a thread on mafiascum, inviting everyone to come to his home and party.
Some of the meetup regulars can't make it this year: mith is still serving his prison sentence from the attempted Minion Revolution of 2009, Talitha's duties to the citizens of New Zealand outweigh her desire to play games, as she leads her people in their conquest of the eastern hemisphere - and MeMe is working full-time managing the eight Mini Queues and moderating 37 Newbie games. Pooky is coming, however, along with an eclectic collection of meetup virgins.
The first several hours of the meetup go fantastically. Games are played, fun is had by all, and the users gradually get more comfortable with one another. Seeing that the party needs more caffeine, Kenny heads down to the basement for some drinks.
Several more hours pass, and the guests are so absorbed in their gaming that they fail to notice that Kenny hasn't returned. Finally, with caffeine levels running dangerously low, someone gets up to look for a drink.
"Hey, we're out of cokes... wait, wasn't Kenny getting some?"
"Yeah. Where is Kenny, anyway?"
"He went down to the basement hours ago. Has anyone seen him?"
The mysterious disappearance momentarily distracts the players, and several of them get up to go search for Kenny. They walk down the basement stairs. It is dark, and the stairs creak ominously. One of the guests feels around for a light switch. Finally finding it, he flips the switch and gasps in horror.
"Oh my God, they killed Kenny!"
"You bastards! Erm... sorry, it had to be said, that was in poor taste, wasn't it..."
The other guests run down to the basement at the commotion. Soon all 12 are gathered, shocked at the brutal murder of their host.
Deciding there is nothing much to be done but call the authorities, the guests head back up the stairs to find a phone, but before they can exit the basement, a gust of wind slams the door shut. Try as they might, the guests can't open the door again.
"Well, it looks like we're stuck. What should we do now?"
It is now Pre-Game. Metaroles will be sent shortly. You may discuss in this thread until the first subgame starts, in approximately 24 hours.
