MURDER MYSTERY! would be exactly that: a murder mystery. Only in caps and with an exclamation point at the end.
The way this thread would work would be kinda experimental. I would start the story posting the initial situation: there's a murder in the territory of one of the three Vanguard Universe teams (VI, VE, Strikeforce). I detail the murder scene. Maybe even post a drawing of it, if I'm feeling artistic. Post whatever notes of messages the killer leaves. You take it from there: analyze the murder scene, make theories about the killer or his motives. Then I post another murder, this time in the territory of another team, and the same thing happens.
The killings will go on until you figure out something I'll be hinting about the killer. Since I don't expect you to figure it out right away (that would be fucking boring) there's two other things you can guess. Both will be guess-able from the very beginning and will become more evident as the killings go on. Something to keep you entertained, since I don't want the game to end right away so I'll make the other thing you have to figure out as hard to guess as I can.
This story isn't fully structured, so it might go to places I never suspected it would go. Also, I could advance the story by writing your characters myself and making them figure out things.
I need this to be a crossover because I need certain members from each team, but that doesn't mean every single member will participate in the story (that would get a bit crowded). Also, it doesn't mean I'll tell you what characters to use: if I need a character you haven't involved yourselves, I'll involve him or her myself.
But this wouldn't just be a fun game: this would also be a story with relevance and important involvent from certain characters of the Vanguard Universe. I don't wanna say anything about the story itself because I think it's pretty fucking cool and I don't wanna spoil anything.
