    So how many killers does the God decide before the match?
    also, does God know when the killers have been killed? If so, does he end the game?
    and finally is there a link where all of these rules are written?

    You did a good job, but it could have been explained a tad bit more, seeing as how (above) there are still some questions being asked.
    But it was a good video and you covered very much.

    I take it that only two killers are selected, but it might be dependant on the number of people in the game.

    Is the god just the guy who gets the oddball first?

    I really think this gametype is being a bit too ambitious. If people join after you've started or after you've explained the rules to everyone, it'll get annoying.

    This gametype is awesome. Its not too ambitious at all; just wait until you play it.
    Here's some info to clear some stuff up:
    God generally picks one person as the killer; we were just going a bit overboard here and picked two.
    God picks up the oddball in the beginning of the game and the killer may not kill anyone until he does so. God may not drop the ball.
    Since God picks the killer, he knows when he's killed becuase it comes up in the action feed in the bottom left corner of the HUD. If the killer kills everyone or the killer is killed, God has the right to end the game. Whoever kills the killer or the killer that kills all citizens is the next God.

    Thanks for the comments, guys.

    The rules are really simple and the game type is really interesting and looks like a lot of fun. It reminds me of that children's game 'blind murderer' which I loved as a kid.
    The only thing with the game type is it requires a lot of honesty within the party for it to be a fun game and if someone does break that honesty, people would get annoyed.
    But yeah, it is really fun if you have a good party.

    Really happy someone finally made a video explaining Clue. Clue is of my favorite games when you got a really good group of people to follow the rules. I remember playing 20 clue games in a row. It become really addicting.

    Oh yeah, it's gotta be one of my favorite custom-made content on the game.
    I don't really know what it is, but the game just has you so focused and wary; your head's always in the game, and it's a great way to have fun with a few friends. I wanna play it right now lol.

    Still workin on the quality

    I've recorded Insane's Requim preview and posted it on my channel in much higher quality, but for some reason it just doesn't want to do that for this.

    If you're using Sony Vegas, set the finished product to the wmv9 format.
    If you're using Pinnacle Studio, set the finished product to the mpeg4 full quality format.

    Maybe you didn't capture it on the full DV quality setting?

    I'm using iMovie, and I did convert it to a MPEG4 file in Standard Definition.
    Should I try High Definition and see if the quality swells up a bit, or just use a differen file format altogether?

    I've just realized something, one of the key components of this game is being aware. In MLG, being aware could save you in a tough situation. This gametype could be used for MLG practice, instead of getting a better BR, get a better brain.

    I remember when i first played clue... Good times :)

    Quesschun. What if the "killers" that you killed were innocents killing people who were the real killers? Is that just one more element to the game that makes it difficult?

    Once a killer is killed, they will most likely tell the party they died, and if there was one killer, the game is ended. Communication is important and how you talk in the game. You are very restricted during the game as a bystander, but as the killer, you need to announce when you die. Also, the person who kills you is the next "God".

    Thats generally called a Chain Reaction. Its why no one should preform a violent action unless they see someone perform one, hence that person would be the killer. Otherwise it can end up with everyone killing each other while the real killer is over in some corner teabagging his first kill.

    Here is the written rules if you want them, although iRaynne does do a good job in explaining them so the video is a good reference as its very wordy post

    This looked confusing from the video because I have never played before but when I read the rules (MrCasper posted them) it is much more understandable. I've never played clue and would love to try it out. If you want to play contact me :p

    There are a fair few but they can be boiled down to a few simple rules really once you have the jist. The honour rules are what makes the game fun to be honest. Sure it only works with a good party who are willing to follow them but do you really want to play Customs with people who are morons anyway?

    It's good fun. To be honest the first time I saw the rules I was a bit scepitcal about it but once you've played a few games it really good fun. It gets tense, with moments when your saw you know how the killer is but can't do anything about it as you haven't seen the murder. Its quite mad.

    When God sends a message to both killers, he is more than welcome to inform each killer of their partner-in-crime.

    EDIT: Once you go Clue, you'll never go back to anything else.
