How to play the game!

[Infenyte]

And here it is, a simple quick tutorial to help you understand the basics of the game. I'll probably edit this a couple of times so be sure to check it regulary.

Now let's begin then shall we?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First let me begin with the creation of the character. As you might have read is that the character has a predetermend set of characteristics.
These characteristics must be hold on all the time while playing the game!
Let's for example use the predetermind characteristics for the "Clever Girl" wich I will give the name: Olga (Because I can XD). Now Olga is unreasonably afraid of water, meaning that she will be easily panicked when around this substance and does not even think about wading trough the water.

So let's say that Olga is now in a room where she has to cross a small river (screw logics here). She will NEVER do this, so no posts like:

Olga had to overcome her fear and she did, entering the water to cross the other side, or
Olga kindly asked one of the other kids to carry her over the water.

In such cases I will jump in and "punish" the violator (aint I bad XD)

So be sure to keep your kid's con's in your mind. Ofcourse if you feel like it, you can add some extra cons towards your kid, (Like: Olga is afraid of bugs) if you want to add a pro, be sure to contact me first about that, as I will have to see that this pro doesn not give him/her the advantage on the others.

Anyways enough about this and let's move on.

I gave the character the name: Olga and added an extra con: afraid of bugs. Furthermore I will still have to add a description about how she looks like: It can be an picture or image or a description and lastly I need to make a quick history about what she did before she came in this castle.

The last thing is not a neccesity, you can even let her history come to surface trough the game bit by bit. I do not mind. Anyways, now I am finished with my character:

Name: Olga
Extra pro's and con's: Afraid of bugs
Description: Blond hair and glasses, yadda yadda yadda.
History: has killed 9999999 people in one of her previous lives

And done, Now I send this all in a pm to me, Infenyte so that he can check if everything is right and then he'll gladly add it for you, all you need to do now is wait for the other guys to finsih their char and we can begin n_n

On to the next lesson!

[Infenyte]

Now the next lesson is a very important one!
Here I will explain how the post system works! (Yes, i made up a post system..just call me mr nerd now please T_T)

As explainend in the rule section, it is I who is the dungeon master, I decide what happens, and also act as the referee. Now I find post such as:

Dude1 opens a closet to check what is inside

a waste of valuable post-space so I thought up about a little system, however this system has two major flaws!

1. I cannot see if you play things fair

2. You need the default skin of the site or any other skin wich is just as black as the others.

The idea for this system is simple and The best way to show it is to make an actual post. Let's just say that you play as the char Olga and Olga just entered a new room. I will then post something like this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olga just entered the Kitchen, it is pretty small and looks pretty old and worn out. it doesn't look like there is anything of use in this place. All except for two closets standing neatly next to eachother. on the kitchencounter lies a small knife used for peeling potatoes, the sharp blade contains splatters of dried-up blood.

Open closet 1
You openend the closet, and inside you found a dancing teddybear!

Open closet 2
You tried to open the closet, but it is shut tight. Appearantly you need a key for it to open.

Pick up the knife
You picked up the knife, this might be a good weapon against the hunters

Exit the room
You turn around and exits the room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you can see Olga has four choices, per post you can only pick one of these options (except for the exit the room option, this is always allowed)

Now if you have the default forum skin, select the option you choosed. Highlight the line and everything under it. Woah..there...is hidden text there!
And here you see my system, you choose one of those options before you post and you can add that option. You also probably notice the flaw. You can cheat and choose another better option. I cannot do anything to keep people from cheating (except for Drake as i am watching him 24/7) so all I can do is hope you are not such a cheater and does what is right, follow the rules.

Now, I will show you how a typical post looks like, there are two types:

1. When you are investigating
2. When you are fleeing from a hunter

I'll start with the first post:

Olga enters the Dining room. A big long table with various chairs is stanind in the middle of the room, there are two candles lit on each side of the table and various plates full of food have been placed. Furthermore there is a door on the other side of the room.

Check plates 1 & 2
You checked the plates, these are still very hot! One contains steamed potatoes and the other spagethi, you find a small closet key inside the spagethi
Check plates 3 & 4
You checked the plates, these are still very hot! One plate contains a bowl of soup and the other...A roasted heart! and it looks human! You are now slightly panicked.
Check the candles
These are just lit, they do not look like they could be used as weapons.
Enter the door
Just as you are about to open the door, you hear footsteps from the other side! Someone is coming! Better to run or hide now...
Exit
You exit trough the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I will actually play as Olga, remember that I can only investigate once!

Olga quitly closes the door behind her and looked around. Appereantly this was the dining room, but for her it didn't gave her the feeling of hospitality. She saw there where four plates on the long dining table adn decided to check two of them out.
The damp coming from the plates showed that they where still hot.
"These plates have been put here not too long ago, what if this person comes back any minute! I must get out quickly!" She thought and just was about to run away when she noticed something shiny, in one of the plates.
"Is that a ...key?" Olga said and reached for the plate full of hot spagethi. It was indeed a key! She quickly put the key in her pocket and exited the room from the way she came in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Voila, a big post is made and as you can see I made just two choices. it will be fairly easy to fill your posts n_n. Now I hope this helped you enough to want to play the game!
