Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni: Another Forum Game
 
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: The Forum Game
“Please uncover the truth, that is my only wish.”

Make it an utmost priority to read the rules thoroughly.
(For Umineko No Naku Koro Ni TFG, click here)

How to Play:

This game is to be played with a minimum of 10 players and a maximum of 18.

At the beginning of the game four hidden roles are assigned to four different players:

The Detective and The Killer:
 
Two players are assigned the roles of The Detective and The Killer of the round. It is the detective’s objective to find and hunt down the killer whilst the killer must discover “The Conspirator.” Each turn the two roles are given a hint alluding to another player, however, the clues given to the killer are sent to the GM by the conspirator to lead the killer off track. Neither the detective nor the killer know which of the two they are, only the fact that they are one of them.
The Detective and The Killer have three guesses each as to who their respective targets are.


The Killer:
 
If The Killer accuses someone of being The Conspirator, they will kill the suspect but will not be informed whether or not they were correct until either the end of the game or The Detective discovers them. If the Killer falsely accuses three people, they will kill themselves. If The Killer kills The Detective, The Carrier will die the following turn.


The Detective:
 
If The Detective discovers The Killer, The Killer no longer kills with their accusations and is informed whether or not they are correct straight away. If The Detective falsely accuses someone, the suspects are killed. (The Carrier will not be killed by The Detective) If The Detective falsely accuses three people, The Conspirator is informed of the identity of The Carrier.


The Carrier:
 
The Carrier is aware of their identity. It is The Carrier’s objective to discover the identity of The Detective and The Conspirator. The Carrier has three guesses as to who the detective may be. If the carrier guesses correctly, the detective is informed that they are the detective and is told the identity of The Conspirator. If The Carrier guesses someone falsely, The Conspirator will be given a chance to give The Detective a false hint in place of his usual one. The Carrier is not told if they are correct or not. If The Carrier makes three false guesses, The Detective will be killed. If The Carrier is killed, everyone but The Conspirator will die the following turn.

The Conspirator:
 
The Conspirator is informed of The Killer’s identity (but not their primary role) and is aware that they are The Conspirator. It is the objective of The Conspirator to find the identity of The Carrier and either convince the town or trick The Killer to kill The Carrier. Every turn they must send in a red herring to the GM which will be relayed to The Killer as their “false hint.” If The Conspirator is killed by either The Killer or The Detective, The Carrier will die the following turn. Even if The Carrier is dead, they can still send in their red herrings to the killer. If The Conspirator is “captured” by The Killer which has been discovered by The Detective, or if The Town votes to lynch The Conspirator, the game will end and no-one else will die.


Each turn (divided into 24 hours) the town (including The Carrier, Killer, Detective and Conspirator) is given the chance to vote for someone to either be captured or lynched. A captured player will be unable to use both their secondary and primary role abilities nor be able to be killed but they can still vote. A lynched player will not be allowed to vote in addition to being unable to use their abilities for the rest of the game, however, only one player can be captured at a time. If the town captures someone else, the previous person that was captured will be released. The game will end when everyone, with the exception of The Conspirator, is dead, (Conspirator Wins) the town lynches The Conspirator or The Conspirator is caught by a converted Killer (Town Wins). Primary roles will be revealed upon a player’s death but the secondary roles will be publicly revealed only after the game has ended, not even The Detective or The Killer will be aware of whom they were if they are killed during the course of the game.

If The Conspirator wins within the first three turns of a game, no secondary roles will be revealed and the game will start again with a new killer and detective.

The Roles:
Each player is given a hidden primary role by the GM, each with their own individual abilities which can be used by PMing the GM. The four secondary hidden roles above will be amongst the players with their own primary roles. (Despite the roles being hidden, there are several which are aware of the identities of others)

- If Rika is The Detective and she is discovered by The Carrier, she is automatically told the identity of The Conspirator.
- If Rika is The Killer she is able to stop one player from using their abilities for the rest of the round (not including secondary roles.)

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: Returning Chapter



June 1983

Hinamizawa, a small village hidden within the mountains is a quiet, secluded place. But it harbours a dark secret. Legend speaks of a "curse" placed upon the annual "Cotton Drifting Festival" reminiscent of the town's feudal history. Every year it has been shown that one person dies and another disappears. As the town approaches that same time of the year once more, it no longer becomes a matter of "what if" someone dies, but "when."

L-Squad, don't forget to FI

I vote kudos

musigal 01-31-2015 11:31 PM

What is FI?

Bakura136 01-31-2015 11:36 PM

(FI doesn't exist just joking about Death Note, although you can vote to capture rather than kill.)

musigal 01-31-2015 11:45 PM

I haven't played death note tfg in like 4 years. Gimme a break! >.>

I vote to capture fared

animex75 01-31-2015 11:55 PM

i'll join that bandwagon

i vote to capture fared for excessive Britishness

grimfang999 02-01-2015 01:00 PM

I am just going to say this... from my role trades I know that fared is not much threat be him any of the major roles.

Out of the information I have gathered, baku has the role which is the most potent regardless of role, So I say that we should apprehend or killed her.

I vote to capture baku.

bakurachick 02-01-2015 01:13 PM

Yeah, no.

grimfang999 02-01-2015 01:34 PM

Sorry Baku, I'm just being practical here.

bakurachick 02-01-2015 01:38 PM

I vote to capture Fared then.

grimfang999 02-01-2015 02:31 PM

Im not kidding either, fared power is completely useless in this game and his secondary role ability is quite weak as well, as well as there only being 7/8 chance of him being that secondary role. Out of all known roles, baku is the most potent should she not be one without a secondary role.

Fat1Fared 02-01-2015 03:09 PM

I have no idea what we are all yelling about!

vote fa...no, bak....no...fare.....no

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I vote baku to be captured.

bakurachick 02-01-2015 06:19 PM

After thinking about it for awhile and reading the rules again (mainly concerning how a winner is decided) I've come to think that either Grim or Fared might be the Conspirator/killer. this might be wrong but grim sure is trying to get the original banwagon changed.

grimfang999 02-01-2015 07:01 PM

What swayed you to think that after I said that fared isn't a threat? I am, of course. Whether he is killer or conspirator his roles abilities are weak and situational, while mine are completely passive. Yours on the other hand are all active effects and have abilities for all situations.

The most concerning thing is, you seem very defensive. Your power can easily stop the town vote and save yourself at least three times. The fact that you are resisting so much when we arent even planning to kill you implies that there is something you are trying to protect.

For why Im being so insisting, Im working to play this game in the most practical manner available, and that would be working downwards through the character tiers.

Fat1Fared 02-01-2015 08:35 PM

To be honest, if the town votes for me, meh.
