Purge Type Role-Play

If we create this Role-Play, I want it to be a side role-play to Nyarl's superhero role-play. That collab should not die because of this one. This one is supposed to act as a role-play to kill time with if you're waiting on a post in Nyarl's. It's supposed to be heavily based on The Purge, that horror film that came out last year. Plot is below in the spoiler.

Spoiler:: In the year 2022, the United States has become "a nation reborn" thanks to the New Founding Fathers of America. Crime and unemployment rates are hitting an all-time low due to the government having instituted an annual 12-hour period called "the Purge" during which all criminal activity (including murder, theft, and rape) becomes legal. The only rules during the Purge is that government officials of "ranking 10 or higher" must remain unharmed and usage of weaponry above "Class 4" (such as WMDs) is forbidden. Also, the police and emergency services are suspended during this time and anyone who doesn't follow the rules of the Purge will be executed. The Purge is designed to act as a catharsis for the American people, so that they may vent all negative emotions and repressed urges however and on whomever they desire, although it is implied throughout the film that the Purge is really just a method of population control, allowing the weeding-out of the impoverished and other people who are seen as a burden on the economy and society in general.

The question of the collab is how do we implement it? It's supposed to be a dark sort of horror RP.

I could imagine that the people partaking in the RP could have one way or another been unable to reach safety before it starts and end up unintentionally all meeting up in a park or town square.
From there I could imagine that the group would end up turning on each other, work together, or break apart.

It can work to a degree. However, there are Role-Players that automatically seem to garner information despite their character not being in the same place when other characters discuss their character.

So for example let's say two characters talked about killing another in the group, yet they display no hostility towards them and don't leak any information. Somehow this character finds out *magically* and does something about it. Of course this is because the owner of the character doesn't want to lose their character.

Steps should be taken to prevent that from happening. Role-Playing IC is where things are completely private compared to OOC where you know what's going on 100% of the time.

That should be made clear in the rules and a bannable offense.
