[HOW TO BE A PLAYER]
Every player gets [1 FULL ACTION] and [1 FREE ACTION] a turn, to issue an action as a player, please [b]BOLD[/b] the text
Other text formats also do other things, so please experiment.
New [PLAYERS] start with a maximum of 2 HEALTH, this can be increased by making purchases using KARMA
If you lose all of your HEALTH (blue hearts) you will die and be put to the bottom of the queue
[ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS] will gain karma after every objective is completed
NOTE: Adjacent refers to both diagonal and orthogonal unless otherwise stated
NOTE: Thank you to Giant_Hat and Mild_Trash for creating these visual aids!
[FULL ACTIONS] [YOU HAVE ONE A TURN]
MOVE to any tile in a zone that is adjacent to your current zone
- A tile that is filled (as in your pawn couldn't fit in it) with art or is a wall cannot be traversed through
- Walls are denoted by thick outlines in between the tile
- A good rule of thumb is "if you can draw a straight line from your tile to any spot in the tile in your destination, it is a legal move"
- More movement rules to come as clarifying questions are asked (this is subject to change)
DO something to anything on adjacent to you
USE something on or adjacent to you
STORE something adjacent to you in your hammer space
- Each player has 3 hammer space slots
- Resources (non weapons) can stack up to 3 (this is subject to change)
PREPARE an action to be triggered on a SIMPLE condition
- A simple condition is something like "when a guy walks in front of me" etc.
[FREE ACTIONS] [YOU HAVE ONE A TURN]
REPOSITION yourself to any tile WITHIN your current zone
- If your zone is FULL you may REPOSITION to any free space that is touching your zone
ADVANCE to a tile that is a maximum of 2 tiles away from you
DROP something you are holding or that is in your hammer space
- Things will be dropped in a random adjacent tile
- This does not consume your free action (this is subject to change)
[BONUS ACTIONS] [YOU GAIN THESE THROUGH SPECIAL ACTIONS]
LOOT something you opened in the last round
- This does not use up your sole free action of the round
NOTE: Are you a player who doesn't like what they look like? Well the shop can fix that! You can spend Karma to have me redesign your character via text description, or use a free re-roll to get a different default skin, OR you can submit fanart of an EDMANGO quest to get a free redesign of your avatar of your choice.
[HOW TO BE A SUGGESTER]
Every suggester can [SUGGEST] an action to an [NPC] or [AI] that is on the battlefield.
They will act like a [QUEST PROTAGONIST], but can refuse actions depending on their [PERSONALITY]
To issue a direct statement as a [SUGGESTER], please [b]'''BOLD'''[/b] the text
The format of your text *does* matter, so please experiment.
The [GODS] are [WATCHING], and good ideas/suggestions for more than just the AI will be rewarded.
Occasionally tasks can be given to the [SUGGESTER], completing a task will award Karma and allow them to [ALTER] the [BATTLEFIELD]
After an objective has been completed, suggesters may also nominate up to two MVPS to award them a NIFTY HAT
[HOSTILE SUGGESTERS] operate much the same way, only their influence on NPCS is limited, while they can actually attempt to persuade hostiles
