Message: <blockquote data-quote="malcolypse" data-source="post: 5953144" data-attributes="member: 92042">"Well...it wouldn't be a very effective murder if I told you about it. Sorry"[sblock]In my first game of Dread as a player I behaved reprehensibly.The setting was an alternate Jurassic Park where the initial visit had gone by without incident and the park had been given a reluctant thumbs up by the experts.I was playing the park tour guide, showing off the park for a group of VIPs. I had been approached by Lewis Dodgson and offered $20 million to steal all of the embryos from the lab.When I tried to go get the embryos, one of the other players character (an aging rock star whose career was in decline, but who's influence and fame were still intact) insisted on coming with me. He was furious when he realized what I was doing, but I gave what I consider to be a masterful speech about how grateful John Hammond would be to him. how his family would never want for anything, and how we could make the Park a safe success if we could just deliver the embryos. It may have been the most beautiful line of BS I've ever spewed.So, now that he was reluctantly convinced that what I was doing was ok, I started taking every opportunity to let the park kill him for me (no witnesses, and all that). I manipulated him and our situation to assure that in character he was always the one in danger, and ooc he was making about half a dozen pulls for every one I made (every time I pulled it was completely voluntary, accompanied by me telling the player that I should take some of the risks too, to try and destabilize the tower even more). Then man is a Jenga wizard. He aced every pull. We made it to the docks and got aboard a small supply ship that was the only way we had off the island. There was smoke coming from the rear of it, so we assumed that something was wrong with the engine. I told him to head up to the bridge with the other survivor (his teenage daughter) and I went to the back to see about the smoke and set up an ambush take him out.The smoke was coming from a flare that someone had dropped on the deck, and only the heavy rain had kept it from setting the boat on fire so I threw it overboard. I then headed down to the lower deck to see how best to separate the two others (I only wanted to kill one unless there was no other choice). There were two raptors in the lower deck, but I sneak back out without them noticing me. I called him on our radios and had him come to the back to help me barricade the door. Then he went back to the bridge to pilot the ship while I guarded the barricade.About 15 miles from Costa Rica, I told the storyteller that I was grabbing my hermetically sealed case full of embryos and tying it to me, then I was going to knock over the barricade, open the door, and jump overboard.The other players looked at each other, then at me, and then the rock star's player asked, "You are going to tell us about this, right?"To which I replied with this posts title.[/sblock]</blockquote>
