POST ONE: PLAYING THE GAME AND SUCH


- RULES -

I. You may make a maximum of 2 In-Character posts per 24 hours.
II. No God-Moding: Taking control of other characters, knowing everything, etc.
III. Do not kill other players.
IV. You may not find valuable items or Moolah (though I can make you find it).
V. Do not rite lik ths (0r 7h15)
VI. Make sense!
VII. Read a few previous posts before making yours.
VIII. Have fun!
IX. Help other players have their fun, too.
X. Fart.


- A TYPICAL TURN -

Player A:

Azkinrad snuck through the shadows quietly, approaching Tidbit from behind. He had his weapon ready; all that would be needed was a silent hit to the back of the head.


Player B:

tidbit span round an saw azkirnad comming to kil him 'you wont get me' says tidbit an shot akzinard


Oops, Player B broke rules II, III, V, VI, IX and X. Let's try again:

Player B:

Tidbit did not notice Azkinrad sneaking up behind him; the quietness of the other's feet was such that even had he not been listening to the birdcalls, Tidbit would not have heard him approach. But as Azkinrad drew nearer, raising his club, the birds took flight, screeching. Tidbit whirled around and Azkinrad's club missed him by inches. "You!" cried Tidbit.


This would have made a very good post, but Player A did not mention raising his club or swinging it at Tidbit, therefore Player B has still broken rules II and X.


Remember: Apart from rule X, VIII is the most important. And always make sure that if you're inside the Stronghold, post in the Stronghold thread; if you're outside, post in the Outside thread.


POST TWO: RACES AND SO ON

* After saying "I chant to possess Slig", they must wait for 3 more IC posts. If the Slig does not shake it off, or shoot at the Mudokon, they Mud may control the Slig for 1 turn. He may NOT kill the Slig; the Slig does NOT die after being possessed; the Mud CANNOT chant if there is a Chant Suppressor (CS on map) in that Room or Area. Muds must have an Intelligence of at least 4 to possess Sligs; they can possess Glukkons with Intelligence 5 and Oktigi with Intelligence 6.

- STATS -

Now, these stats won't actually affect what you can and cannot do (apart from possession, area movement and max weight), but please refer to them before making your character do anything, and decide if it's feasible or not. Use them as a guide more than anything else.

- TRAITS -

Choose no more than 1 of these Traits to affect your character. You can earn more by levelling up. Some traits require others to earn (indicated by a dot, or two dots, or whatever).

Superhuman Strenth: +1 Strength
Marksman: +1 Perception
Smart Alec: +1 Intelligence
.Brain-Powered: +1 Intelligence
Heels of Wind: +1 Speed
Born Leader: +1 Bossing
Rebel: Shouldn't be able to be bossed.
Skin of Steel: Doesn't get injured easily.
Natural Selection: People pick you if there's a choice, whatever it may be.
Lightweight: Fall from great heights without dying... but you get drunk easy.
Harmony: Wild animals won't attack you (unless provoked).
Nightvision: You can see in the dark!
Treadlight: You can move silently.
.Creeper: You can slink like a snake, scale sheer walls and remain unnoticed in shadow.
Bulldozer: Fight like a man! You're indestructible in hand-to-hand (or claw) combat.
Kong Initiate: White Belt in the mystic martial arts of Kung Kong.
.Kong Novice: Green Belt in the mystic martial arts of Kung Kong.
..Kong Warrior: Grey Belt in the mystic martial arts of Kung Kong.
...Kongmaster: Black Belt in the mystic martial arts of Kung Kong.


-LEVELLING UP -

Each post you make I privately choose a rating for, eg 5/10. For that you would earn 5 Experience Points. For 10/10 you would earn 10 XP, for 1/10 you would earn 1 and so on. You level up on:
10 XP
25 XP
50 XP
100 XP
250 XP
500 XP... and so on (I trust you can see the pattern there).


- INVENTORY -

I will keep a tab of inventories in the post after this one. Make sure that whenever you pick up an item type very clearly on a line of its own:

INVENTORY: -> item's name here

Or, to lose an item,

INVENTORY: <- item's name here

If someone's post seems to make you lose an item, or gain one, put these at the beginning of your thread. You can use an item that isn't in your inventory, but make sure you have picked it up beforehand.

I will assign a weight to each item, and once you are overweight (refer to Strength) your Speed is set to 1 and your Perception loses 1 point.

You can also sell items to a Trader, BUT: you cannot do this in one post. You must reach any Trader, then offer the items you want to sell and for what price (most items will probably have a recommended price). I act the Traders, and I will reply with either a "Yes" or my offer. You will gain Moolah for this.

- MOOLAH -

You can gain Moolah ONLY by selling items to a Trader.

What do I use Moolah for?

Well, since you're not allowed to find mystic/valuable items lying around (see Rule #), you're going to have to use Moolah to get the best equipment. You can use Moolah to buy any of the items in a Trader's inventory (post 4). Just make a post with your offer for all the equipment you want. Make sure you're next to a Trader first, though!
