	(OK, this is a fairly new game concept. Think of this thread as a clinical trial, really, to see if this sort of "game" is both playable and enjoyable. The basic idea is this: you're all members of a specific organization, and will be given a specific task- in this case, the mighty Outworld army under the command of Goro and Shao Khan. You can be a ninja, tarkatan, centaur, whatever you like, doesn't matter, basically you're all military advisers to Prince Goro, following a very violent and very succesful battle against the Forces of Good, in which the Outworld destroyed the combine might of Edenia and her Earthrealm allies) You enter into a wide domed chamber lit by flickering torches. Fresh from your victory over the rebel Edenian army and still half drunk on the blood of your weak and puny enemies, you and your fellow advisers have been summoned to this place by Prince Goro, for what the messenger said was to be a "very special council of war". In the center of the room is a lowered pit, shrouded in darkness. You believe you can make out a human form there, in the center, but before you can observe it carefully your Lord appears. You have never seen him betray any hints of emotion other than rage and cool malice, but you swear you can detect a note of satisfaction, even excitment and joy, in his features. "My friends, I see that indulging in the spoils of victory has not slowed you yet. You came promptly, which is one reason why I know I can rely on you above all others." Such praise is uncommon- something big must be coming. "You come from all corners of the Empire. You each have your own thoughts, and agendas, but I know I can trust you. That is why I have summoned you here to witness my- our- most glorious triumph. BEHOLD" Goro sweeps his hand back towards the center of the room, and a circle of dim sorcerous lights flares up, revealing the center of the pit. There, chained to a pair of bloody spikes, body slumped and drained of energy but eyes still full of pride and defiance, is none other than the beautiful Princess Kitana, leader of the revolution you so recently crushed. She still wears the masked ninja costume she preferred for combat, although a few strings across her chest seem to have been cut during her capture and there is slight battle damage on her boots. Her attitude is that of sullen menace- she is clearly exhausted from whatever trials she has endured over the past few days and the chains around her hold her quite helpless, but you would be foolish to think of her as any less than a caged tiger, ready to fight again in a moment were her body willing and her condition changed. "Behold, the cause of our recent problems, the once mighty Princess of Edenia, the FOOL who believed our mutual 'friendship' would cause me to forsake my army and betray our rightful ruler, the Lord Shao Khan. It is because of her that we were given the privilege of bathing in the blood of her friends and compatriots." At this Kitana lets out a cry of anger, and, finding a reserve of strength that she either did not know she had or had kept hidden, pulls out against her bonds, her body growing taut and the chains groaning under the ferocity of her movement. Narrowing his eyes, Goro snaps his fingers and a surge of sorcerous energy leaps out from the ground beneath his captives feet, flowing through her and causing her body to jerk and convulse grotesquely. Goro smiles grimly at you as she screams in agony for a few terrible seconds, before cutting off the torturous flow of energy with another gesture of his hand and allowing her to crumple, spent once again. "You should be more grateful for the hospitality we are showing you, Kitana" he says, over his shoulder. "Consider it a mercy that Shao Khan has even let you LIVE this long, one that you do not deserve." Goro turns his full attention to you. "Now, on to the matter at hand. I have called you here because I value your council, and I believe you can be of help in the matter of this traitor. Shao Khan wishes to see her brought to justice, made an example of, and I need YOU to help me decide what will be her fate." He lifts a hand to silence any questions. "I planned on simply tearing her limb from limb as an offering of fealty to the once and future emperor of Outworld, but that's a stupid idea and won't do at all. I will give you each one week, for that is how long it will take before Shao Khan arrives and the... fun, can begin. One week, to submit a proposal to me. How shall she die? Whoever has the best suggestion shall be given the honor of overseeing her sentence, and a place in the history of the Outworld. And no, there are no rules, anything goes, especially for a dog like her. Torture, humiliation, you may participate or you may even summon one of the various famous warriors of the Realms, like Baraka, or Shang Tsung, to assist in any way. We may even be able to solicit the help of her former allies, but I will leave the details up to you. All that I ask is you submit the proposal in writing, in detail, to be reviewed both by myself and the other members of the Council gathered here today." (get it? Everyone who wants to play, can play, just post your ideas for Goro. You can do anything you want, be as elaborate and creative or simple and straightforward as you desire. You could have a public execution full of spectacle, have character fight her and do a fatality for the Emperor's amusement, heck, if you're a Kitana fan, you could even secretly arrange for her rescue and a renewed battle against the forces of Evil. But please don't do that, as it would make Goro sad, and there's nothing so awkward as seeing a grown Shokan cry. I'll leave it open for one week- maybe longer if there's interest but not many replies- at which point everyone can vote for their three favorites. My votes will count multiple times, since it's my idea, and whoever wins... well, wins. FIGHT!)

	Such a long text, morosenoodle. Why is it that you can vote multiple times, isn't it sort of unfair? I'd like to be Smoke. Well, I would suggest to let her try to escape and if she fails, then some doom would await. Ps.

	Do we PM the proposal or post it here? Also, are we any particular character, or just a nameless, faceless person who can choose any other character? -----signature----- "It's spelt mGlottalstop... it's not hard!"

	Post 'em here, that way everyone can read them. You guys can be anyone you want, preferably a faceless character or an OC of your choosing, but you can feel free to utilize any official characters you like in any way you fancy. And my vote counts multiple times since I thought of the game. Although I guess if it turns out being a problem, we can do equal votes all around.

	I'll post tomorrow. I'm quite sleepy, and kinda tipsy, so tomorrow I'll be thinking more clearly. -----signature----- "It's spelt mGlottalstop... it's not hard!"
