The Night Falls
A Community Roleplaying Game
Rain falls heavy outside of your home, the drops hammering on the panes of glass through which you peer outside.
It is not quite night, but the hours of dusk are fading fast.
It's all a little hazy in your mind right now, but you know that you have to head outside soon, despite the deeply unpleasant weather conditions.
You've got something important to do. Something only you can do. Something you've done before, of course, so surely it won't be a big deal.
Just a job. A Mission.
You just need to get ready for it. The same way you always get ready on nights like this. A little ritual of sorts, to get yourself ready to head out there, into the weather.
(?) What ACTION will you take to prepare for the night that is about to fall?

What's all this then? And how do I play?

Spoiler
This is the beginning of a community roleplaying game. All will make sense in time.
How do I play?
To enter a new command into the game, respond to this thread with a command formatted like the example below:
> Perform an impressive juggling display
or
> Offer the man a fine leather jacket
or
> Steal the lamp
A new command should be indicated with the > sign.
If you wish to upvote a command already given, simply post the same command again.
How will the game process commands entered?
Commands entered will be tallied and the most voted command will be executed in the game. If there is a tie, then the command given first will be executed.
For a command to be executed it needs to have at least one upvote, ie. a minimum of two players must agree on the command.
How often will the game update?
The game will be updated 2-3 times a week, depending on player activity and my availability due to work and social engagements.
Faster updates may be made early on to help the prologue get rolling.
Can I contribute?
Sure! If you wish to contribute art, characters, ideas or anything at all, feel free to PM me your suggestions.
I will not promise to include everything sent in, but I will consider all contributions and do what I can to include them where sensible.
Can this game be won? Or lost?
The mechanics of the game will be made apparent over time. It will be possible to eventually lose the game, as taking risky or dangerous actions carry a random chance of failure and consequence.
It is also possible to win the game, by completing The Mission.
What is the Mission? And who are we?
That is up to you, the players, to find out.
