『So, you see, about a week or so ago I got this weird dream that I didn't really took much note about other than it being weird as heck, but today while working on ZL and suddenly thinking of something, I got this stupid and ridiculous idea of a new game. And since it keeps sticking in the corner of my head, I decided to write it up to maybe get some feedback from people. And just before I start, this is completely unrelated to any of my MGs 100% and just a random filler season idea so I call it a season. So, here it is, feel free to laugh because of how ridiculous it is:』
『Game Setting』
『The game's is set in our days, in a big family house of a giant ______(name undecided) family. All of the players are brothers and sisters, children from the same generation of your Papa and Mama. The Papa in question passed away in a hospital after some horrible accident(?) but while unable to even speak managed to write down with his only working limb, his leg, last words - a will before kicking the bucket. The will said: "I leave all matters concerning the inheritance for my wife to decide, farewell oh cruel world". And so now you are all coming together for family meeting from wherever you live and whatever you are doing because you were called by your mother who said she is going to decide what to do with the inheritance there. And when you arrive, you find your mother sitting on a throne and saying that the inheritance will be decided by a game. The one who kills all other siblings without being discovered by them gets to keep all inheritance and hold no charges against them (with this family's influence covering up a few murders is like child's play) or otherwise if you don't like bloodshed, you will have to win in a game of wits with her and then the inheritance rights will be passed equally between all who solved the mystery. The time limit of Mama's Game is 1 year. The game is going to be carried out in a family meetings with 1 meeting per month and 1 session/hosting day being one month. If nobody wins via murder victory or mystery victory by the end, the full inheritance will be mother's for her to freely decide what to do with it.』
『The game's first and foremost mechanic: Mama.』
『1.Mama is always there.』
『2.Mama is almost always watching, but can still miss some things.』
『3.Mama can and will do everything any normal mother can and will and then some more.』
『4.Mama can sometimes just appear out of nowhere and yell at you.(doesn't mean she might not slip in some valuable info)』
『5.Mama can sometimes just go and throw an errand at you.(doesn't mean you will go unrewarded)』
『6.Mama can sometimes just order you to stand in the corner for stupid reasons.(doesn't mean you have to comply)』
『7 and so on.Mama can do much more.』
『If I just list what Mama can and will do, it will go endless and might spoil some stuff. But lets say everything that applies to normal mothers applies to Mama. You can go and suck up to mother hoping to gain favors and you might in fact gain them. You can go full rebellious phase against her and trouble her greatly. The possibilities of the Mama are endless and just finding out new of them should be fun enough in itself.』
『For the whole Mama thing, I think I am going to recruit a co-host. BUT! The only thing the co-host will do, will just stay In-Character RPing Mama for the duration of the whole game. The person will of course have to be somebody who I can trust to be unbiased. Of course, mothers are by nature very biased beings, so being biased is fine as long as it is kept completely IC and not OOC. But of course, if nobody wants to be Mama or everybody wants to just join as player, I can probably just do it myself so it will be slightly more work on my hand.』
『I have other mechanics in mind like Birthday Presents where players decide on their birthdays before the game and depending on how late it is in the game and mother's disposition towards them they might gain pretty useful stuff, or Bad Butler, Meek Maid and Mysterious Merchant who will trade you other stuff for your rebellion points, good child points or monthly allowance/money as well as a bunch of other stuff but those aren't thought up through and just random ideas.』
『Well then, as I said, absolutely ridiculous, right? But even then, I am still curious as to what you think about it~』
