In this game, all players are considered residents of Le OUAL vers Évreux. All members of Le OUAL vers Évreux are cupids, but 5 are bitchy cupids because they have PMS. These :airquote:Cu-biddies :airquote: are aware of each others’ identities, but the rest of the populace is not. This game will follow Les OUAL vers Évreux’s attempt to rid their fair village of these bitchy cupids.

Once a day, the Cu-biddies will release the name of their 2 victims, who will no longer be spreading love around the world, but keep the chocolate and flowers for herself. Cu-biddies will be required to agree on their next victims.

In addition, each morning, the results of a town meeting will be announced. Similar to the Cu-biddies, villagers will submit their votes for who they believe to be one of the PMS cupids (again, via PM to me). The person who gets the most votes is the suspect. Citizens are allowed and encouraged to talk amongst themselves to figure out who the PMS cupids are.

As with OUALville, you will be given a space to have a town. Also, you can talk about life in Le OUAL vers Évreux in general or whatever. People who are not officially playing the game are welcome, as visitors, to post in the thread. Visitors and Cupids who have been turned to the dark side just don't get a vote.

At first, both the victims of the Cu-biddies and who is suspected as a Cu-biddie will be pretty random. But I think that after a while, it should become easier to figure some things out and start looking for clues.

Some things to keep in mind:

WOL will be off during the game so people can’t try to figure out who’s PMing who.
Cu-biddies are villagers, so they will be involved in the discussion about who people suspect is a cu-biddie. More than likely, they will attempt to deflect suspicion from themselves.
Of course, members of the general populace won’t want to be accused either.
Cu-biddies can lie about their PMS. So just because you are talking to someone who says she is a happy cupid doesn't necessarily mean that she is. And cu-biddies don't necessarily act any differently than regular cupids. After all, they have lots of chocolate and flowers to keep them happy. Sometimes, they might even be happier than the regular cupids.
Cu-biddies do have some restrictions on what they can and cannot do. Once a restriction is placed on them, it will not be removed. But more may be placed on them.
I reserve the right to change things up if I feel like it.




Welcome to Le OUAL vers Évreux, where you are one of the Cupid citizens. We, the Welcome Wagon and Newspaper staff, apologize for the fact that there are 5 Cu-biddies living among you. These Cu-Biddies are suffering through PMS and like biddies (and all PMS sufferers) tend to make things a little less happy and lovey wherever they go.

This particular group of Cu-Biddies has shown a penchant for turning other Cupids bitchy. As you may guess, this is never a good thing, and it can be especially bad around Valentine’s Day. In essence, the turning of a Cupid into a Cu-Biddie is a death, as the turned can no longer spread love, joy and all that jazz to the world.

Since much of the official communication of the game is planned as newspaper articles, please feel free to make your life in Le OUAL vers Évreux as fleshed out as possible. If we have a bookstore, a bar or a clothing shop, the details of Cu-Biddie attacks and decisions about what happens to the innocents who are accused will be much more entertaining (I hope). If you don’t want to, though, don’t worry about it. I can work with that, too.

Have fun, enjoy, and stay classy!

- Monday your time or Monday our time? I will try to open the game tonight at midnight my time, which is the best I can do.

- What happens when someone is a suspect according to the town meetings? Each morning of the game (starting Tuesday) close to 8am my time, I will put out an issue of La Tribune. It will hold both the names of hte victims and the names of the people who were tried. The results of the trial will be included. I'll include the clue for the day in that thread as well to make them easier to find for everyone.

- What time are the meetings usually held? (I want to be abloe to participate please...) The town meetings are a thread that lasts all day long. They are usually opened shortly after the paper is posted and stay open until the next one is posted. In addition to the meetings, people must submit a vote to me that includes the 2 people who they think are Cu-Biddies each day. Those votes must be in by 7am my time.


- What restrictions are placed on the cu-biddies and who decides what further restrictions will be placed on them? Will we be informed of the restrictions? I decide what the restrictions are, and you won't be told what they are. You are just going to have to pay attention. They will have a restriction (or a requirement) added to them each day. This is intended to help you, but I'm not going to make it easy for you.

- So a cupid's goal is to spread as much love as possible? meh. A Cupid in this town's goal is to have as much fun as possible and to figure out who is PMS and get them before getting gotten.

- What does a cupid that has been turned to the dark sid do or doesn't do? (see restrictions)

- When can we announce what stores we have? Midnight tonight my time.
