The Ouroboros Project - Prologue
None of them knew how they had gotten there, or why. As far as they knew, the only thing they had in common was that one night, they had gone to sleep like normal and then woke up in the room they currently found themselves in. The room itself was a strange affair. It was completely devoid of furniture or windows. One could call it a metal box with doors. Doors, however, were plenty. A number of them lined the walls of the room, and each one had a number painted on it in red paint.
The same red paint had also been used to write two messages on the walls. One said "A TSARINA MASHING" and the other "A MAMA WAGERS BERET". Nonsense, or was there a deeper meaning to the messages? The most important things in the room, however, were the participants. Besides their backstories of falling asleep and waking up here, there was actually one more thing everyone had in common: The bracelet on their left wrist.
The bracelets were sturdy metal ones, impossible to remove by hand. They each had a simple LCD screen for displaying numbers, though for the moment, all the screens were turned off. One person in the room was however lacking a bracelet, and laid face-down in a corner of the room. The nearby ID card identified him as Globox Simpson, and a quick check would identify his pulse as zero.
All of a sudden, a synthetic voice broke the veil of silence that laid across the room. "Welcome to the Ouroboros Project. It is a game where you shall put your lives on the line. The goal is simple: Leave this facility alive. In this building, there is a number of doors carrying a red number. To go through them, simply set your bracelet number to the number on the door, and it will allow you inside. Going through a door without the right bracelet number set will cause immediate punishment. An unlimited amount of participants can pass through each door. However, some doors carry misfortune, others advantages, and some carry neither. It is up to you to find out. A bit of randomness makes a game exciting, right? Good luck. Maybe you'll find out why you were brought here, and what your purpose is.
One last thing.
Only one person may leave this facility alive."
======
Mission statement: Get out of the facility alive and discover the truth behind everything. To do this, you must PM me each round with three things:
1. Which door you wish to leave a trap behind
2. Which door you wish to leave a treasure behind
3. Which door you wish to go through
These must be different doors. Each door has a points value, which is added to your score at the round's end. The points value is increased by treasures, decreased by traps, and unaffected by going through. Each round, the participant(s) with the lowest score will die. Failing to submit an action is an automatic -2 to your score, and doing this twice in a row will result in immediate elimination.
You have until Sunday July 30th, 23.59 GMT+1 to sign up, and you do so by posting "I'll play" or similar in red.

There are a few elements of Virtue's Last Reward here too. From the start, I had thought of setting it on an abandoned cruise ship as well, though I thought that'd be too much of a clone. |
