TiBB's favourite game where everyone dies* is back and keen to get everyone's autumns off to a grisly start. On September 12, barring the eventuality of me finding something better to do with my time, 15 players shall begin the process of trying to work out who the hidden murderer is, and work as a team to solve puzzles and tasks to secure their survival. Previous editions of the game have seen twists like more than one murderer, a suicide pact, and a French homosexual being beaten up in the shower, so who knows what's in store? This year, the story shall take place in a rather messed-up neighborhood and centre around some nosy, cheating, alcoholic messes so nothing like the TiBB Staff seeking revenge and getting stabby.

I extend the invitation to Benjamin to write some new bios up for our applicants, so fingers crossed you'll all be given some batshit insane people to work with! I also invite previous winners Niamh, LemonJam, Jarrod, Ben and Liam- to judge throughout the series.

How to Apply
Send me a PM with the title of something like "ICB Application" and not "Zayn Malik Nudes" because that sort of thing upsets me and makes you unlikely to succeed. Fill out the following form if you'd be so kind:

Age:
Forum Game Experience (dw I don't want a CV):
Desired cause of death for your character:
How would you win?
How active will you be between September 12 and...uh...whenever it ends...let's say the end of the month...?

Before you apply, I recommend you peruse the threads in this subforum to get some idea of how it works. Essentially:

15 players - 1 killer
8 tasks, each with a new team leader
If the team & team leader passes their task, the team leader is immune and chooses two other players to 'Isolation', where it's up to the Killer what happens next.
If the team & team leader fail, the team leader is automatically one of the two players facing death.
Other opportunities for immunity, final passes, and muffins from Ammi shall arise.
There're also two "stabs in the dark" throughout the series, where players have the opportunity to work out who the killer is. Dressing in monochrome and sporting pipes and screeching "j'accuse!" is optional.
Once we reach a final five, voting to win opens based on effort, gameplay and creativity. The 4 judges and I are responsible for most of the decision, but dead players and the general forum can also have their say.

The winner shall emerge with their social life intact and this pretty little thing and bragging rights I suppose but not much else. Get applying! Oh and I have zero time for the whole 'creating drama in forum games' thing so I'll be inherently prejudiced in my casting decision thank you x

[Shaun]

OP updated. Applications close, um, idk, two days before it begins or something?

[Shaun]

note to self: 4am is a terrible time for releasing details

[MB.]

I'm a little disappointed that Muffins From Ammi isn't this year's sub-title but yes I will enjoy (watching) this

[Wizard.]

Can't wait to watch this, look awesome.

[Benjamin]

I'll happily wrote bios again

[Jarrod]

I'd apply to play again because I adore this game to pieces but I could be moving into university and I wouldn't be able to commit enough time to it! I'll be watching throughout though and I accept the invitation to judge throughout

Good luck to anyone who plays! It's so much fun.

I'd happily judge

[Shaun]

thank you for that tom

Nice handful of applications so far, but just a cheeky bump. If a mod reads this, could they maybe un-sticky the two old series in this subforum so they're all sort-of in order please? And would it be OK if I gathered a series of the miscellaneous side-threads connected to ICB to be moved to this subforum too? (Like the final polls, in particular).

[T*]

His avatar and signature just turned green, this is creeping me out

[Shaun]

It's just a pretty little teaser thing, it doesn't have any clues/spoilers about the story in it dw, it's just with this being the seventh series I thought, with 7 weeks to go 'til launch, I'd start using sigs with the seven colours of the rainbow and names for the deadly sins

I'm a sucker for countdowns and needless graphics

[T*]

If you need any video things doing just ask and your wish will be my command!

[Joe.]

*Considers an application*

[Shaun]

*won't*

[Shaun]

oh this is supposed to start in about a week and i haven't got half of enough applications lol

[T*]

We need to give it more promo

[Shaun]

to be fair I really can't be arsed with anything lately. just a general mood thing. it's a bit worrying. but like, I haven't finished all of the tasks for this, not sure how the character bios are coming along with Ben, and the lack of applicants doesn't really motivate me

[T*]

If it all gets a bit too much you can do it in December again like you did the other year
