Every once in a while, jjvirus and I will host a new chapter in our RPG series! These rules are crucial to your success and enjoyment of the RPG.
RPG GUIDELINES:
1. Everyone starts with 50 HP. If you die, then you can't post anymore.
2. Your attacks have a 50% chance of hitting or missing, including (usually) a 50% chance of a counterattack if your attack misses. The amount of damage will be random, also.
3. There are two ways to win: The first team who loses all of their HP loses, or the team with the most HP left by the end of the time limit wins.
RULES: These are the rules of the RPG. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! There are consequences for breaking them!
1. You can only do actions with your character. If you grab someone to run somewhere, that's fine, but you can't attack using your allies or make them do stuff. (Ex: no throwing people) It's up to your whole team to make all of the characters active and not idle. Remember, this is a team RPG, not one person controlling the whole team.
2. Follow the story! Read what others have posted before you and continue with the story so it makes sense. (If we cannot delete the posts that have broken the rules, then just ignore them.) Know where your character/allies are, so they don't "poof" somewhere else randomly. Also, if you don't read the story, you may miss some important information that could cost you or your allies in the long run.
3. Stay in the battlefield. Do not leave the battlefield or incorporate another place into the scene that would not already be there. (Ex: No leaving the area to rest. If you want to rest during the story, find a place in the field to rest.) You can also use the battlefield to help you hide, attack, etc.
4. Do not attack every post, no matter how frequently or rarely you post on this RPG. Only attack every 2-3 posts. Remember, if you don't post for a long time, that is more posts you will have to read in order to follow the story correctly.
5. No character is all-powerful or all-knowing, so no invincibility and no "always finding your enemies/items". Even though you may know where your enemies/allies are because they posted it, it wouldn't be fair and it wouldn't make sense to always find them instantly. Make it realistic. Everyone will have unfortunate things happen now and then.
6. The hosts of the RPG use a random number generator to determine if attacks hit or miss, and the damage calculated. You do not determine the results of your attacks or anyone elses, only the hosts can. When you attack in a post, make sure you skip a line and write "OUTCOME:" in order to let the hosts know you wish to attack. It makes it a lot easier to notice and more organized.
CONSEQUENCES: If you fail to follow these rules, you will LOSE HP! Don't hurt yourself!
I know these are strict rules, but they are meant to help create a good story. If something random happens that messes up the flow of the story, then it won't be as good.
Tips for the RPG:
1. Be smart! Attack carefully! Remember, your enemy could counterattack.
2. Be creative! Make the story interesting and fun!
3. Have fun! This is meant to be fun!
