Also I want the murderer to be found by logic not luck. When they find the evidence by stumbling on it it's meh.

I wish there was an app to design board games. I wanna play Maetakai.

Make it by hand you coward

I don't want to carve 28 pieces.

How does the game work?
I might be able to scribble down some concepts, obviously can’t carve wooden pieces but if the Etsy shop/commission page thing works out I could create clay ones at some point

plus it sounds really cool regardless and I want to know the rules

It's kind of complex, especially when you try to play it. It's a board game the lords play in that proj Eris and I were thinking up.

This is a big part of why I hate the "the killer was some rando we didn't even know" twist, because it just makes the MC look dumb, and makes most of the book useless. Who wants to read a book where all of the searching for clues, the hypotheses, and the various suspects are all irrelevant by the end?

Dommy it isn't public

Shoot. Uh… I don't see the normal symbols to make it so.

Maetakai

Board is a diamond shape with one square at each corner. All the corners connect horizontally. The widest point of the board is eleven squares.

The goal of the game is to either kill the emperor or kill all the lords, archers, talik and janshi which will leave the emperor undefended. For this strategy to work the winning side must possess an emperor or raised lord and at least one janshi as well as one other piece that is not a shield bearer.

Pieces:

Emperor: Can move one space in any of the four diagonal directions or move any owned piece three squares to the left, right, back or forwards. This move can only be done every other move of the emperor. Cannot attack unless it is that or death.

Talik: Can go an unlimited number of spaces in any of the four horizontal directions. Can fly over all pieces but the archer. Must land on top of a piece if it is to kill it. Can only kill messengers and shield bearers. Cannot kill a piece right next to it.

Archer: Can kill any piece as a move (without moving) if the piece is within two spaces away from it horizontally (one space away horizontally is safe from the archer.) One if diagonally. When moving moves one square in any direction.

Lord: Can move two spaces horizontally, can kill and move at the same time, kill area is one space beyond in any horizontal direction. If a lord can touch one of the two farthest squares not claimed by a side, they gain the power of heir to the throne should the emperor be killed.

Messenger: Moves two spaces diagonally. Can only kill by passing a piece so that it is passed on the messenger's first square, the middle of where it started and where it moved. (Must say khanjar as a sign of the kill.) Can go over all pieces, including the archer.

Shield bearers: Cannot attack. Move one space per turn horizontally, two diagonally. can only be killed by archers and talik or a Janshi if he attacks it twice.

Janshi: Can only move one square in any direction. Attack range is only what they land on. Cannot be killed by messengers or lords.

Anyone else remember Wayside School? Remember when the new student ended up just being a dead rat under like 20 raincoats?

What???

Yeah
Also one of the teachers gets turned into an apple and another teacher eats her

oh my gold
I do not wish to remember that fever dream

Neither did I, but I found my old copy

that's your loss, not mine

miss daisy's gone crazy

I will make it your loss

miss daisy's gone crazy

I remember those!! Wayside School is that series if the author was given lifetime access to all of the drugs and booze they could desire.

what the fuck

The teacher brings in ice cream that tastes like each of the students. One student tastes like old bologna.

w h a t t h e f u c k

The one thing I remember is like one of the first chapters where the teacher was like 'write your names on your pencils' and the students were like 'what the shit miss froozle'

The teacher thinks that all of the students are monkeys at one point.

I swear that author was tripping that entire series. wrote it all in one drug and alcohol and coffee induced 24-hours

I'm pretty sure that one student straight-up falls out the window, but I was skimming by that point

Apparently there's a fourth book?! I only remember the first, and only read the first three.

There was this one floor of the school that both existed and didn't
