So we had 2 managers who did not participate and monitored the game. The backstory for the characters was provided by them. They messaged everyone privately. We settled with the theme of popular tv shows where we’d been assigned characters and given similar back stories. Some would have same back stories as the show characters and some would have similar back stories but with differences. Some colleagues even had same characters with differences.
For example, Joffrey from GoT was a character, he was of similar background to the show - rich and spoiled as a kid but there were differences such as he was interested in a peaceful village.
Another character was Monica from friends - me 🤣 they kept everything the same for her, OCD types and unsuccessful in love and searching for Mr Right in the village.
We had two Joeys from Friends - one who got with Phoebe and one who was still looking for his partner.
Now the villain is just called werewolf. They were given no back story and had to come up with their own.
Now our manager asked everyone to post 2 things about their characters and the name of their characters. This included the wolves to post something as well.
We were then asked to ask questions and the floor was given to us. When we saw 2 Joeys, 3 Harvey Spectres that got us confused. Immediately we’re thinking there’s no way there could be two or three same characters.
So that started a series of questions to one another, prompts from managers came to some who we might have missed out on asking questions so it kept the conversation flowing and confusion growing.
After a day of asking each other questions about their backgrounds, we’re asked to vote. The poll had our character names and our real names beside it. Everyone votes who they think was the wolf. First one was Harvey spectre with our one of our colleagues name near it. Funny backstory of HS being married to Jessica Pearson whereas the other 2 HS were either married or dating Donna P.
However many voted for 1st - HS to be eliminated - those points were deducted and that was around 35 of us. That point got added onto the werewolves team - so everyone started off with 200 points. Villagers 165 and Werewolves 235. 1st HS is now out and the game continues.
This started the second round, admins asked for us to reveal what we would do in this situation as our village character background. This situation was - you’re approached for the Apple you’re holding in your hand, ready to eat by someone in the village but you haven’t eaten all day. What do you do?
Joffrey answered with I’ll put the Apple on the persons head and swing my arrows at their head for coming to ask me for my Apple
Monica (I) answered I’ll give it to the poor person to eat for now but also make a meal because I’m a chef.
A colleague responded to Joffrey’s character, he revealed that he is looking to create peace in the village so why now would he be acting cruel? Or does he not remember his own characters because he’s the wolf?
So there struck another conversation with everyone asking each other questions, our managers coming in and asking additional questions to anyone we might have missed out on and so on.
Next round and it continues like this with different questions that our managers put out….
Similarly, for IF you could do popular shows characters here on IF, giving same character names to some people and different back stories etc.
I hope that makes sense.
