    Aww man I thought we were going to be able to kill other members off!!! I have to start a new list...
  • Inanimate objects only? So if someone picked me I can't use a midget as a weapon?
  • How do you figure out what’s in the little envelope to match?

    It was the cow...

    This was originally going to be a Horror Movie Character Clue, but with all the talk on the OTT this morning about past members I decided to change it up a little.

    If you would prefer that the "suspects" be victims, I can do that.

    Weapons are inanimate objects. The suspect (or victim) cannot kill (or be killed) by what is essentially another character/member/suspect... Cryptus cannot kill someone using Cujo, Michael Myers or a midget.

    This is loosely based on the game Clue. There will be no pre-loaded envelope. That would require confirmation at the end of each round, slowing the draft and potentially ending the draft before everyone can pick 6 members. This is basically a Character Draft using B-D members, weapons and locations. Which former/current B-D Member did it, Where and with what Weapon.

    Oxley is probably the closest youre going to get to a midget.
  • I'm in. I'm not sure yet if I'll be doing victims or killers or a mix of both. Expect my list to have some bizarre horror movie weapons though.

    i would like to participate!

    I am adding players in the order in which they contacted me. This is just so I can keep try. I will post the actual draft order Sunday night.

    Drafting Order:
    1. TexasSnacks
    2. gwally

  • So we'd be voting on funny guesses really?

    It was the cow...

    "This is essentially a Character Draft, but locations and weapons should also be considered in your scoring."

    Not everyone's pick may necessarily be humorous.
    Not everyone's scoring will be based on the same criteria.

    I will be basing my scores on the B-D member (0-4pnts), Location (0-3pnts) and Weapon (0-3pnts).
    If I don't know the member the score will be zero. The other two scores will be based primarily on creativity, but I will consider other factors. If I don't recognize location/weapon, the score will be lower.

    To use my own example: Cryptus did it in Bob’s van with a coat hanger.

    Cryptus - 2
    Bob's Van - 2
    Coat Hanger - 1 . . . cutsie theme - 2

    TOTAL: 7

    YOU DO NOT NEED TO BREAK YOUR SCORING DOWN. THIS WAS MERELY AN EXAMPLE.

    I jumped the gun. I just couldn't wait to get that out of my system once I saw I was first.
