Winning the Game -

Players leave the game in one of two ways. Either they die, or they reach level ten. Heck, some of you might have to die twice Once a player reaches level ten, they have won the game. Any player who is level ten is retired from the game. Retired players have won the game. The game continues until we have five winners, or everybody is dead or the time limit runs out. Retired and dead players may not continue to participate during the game.

You do not know how long you have before time runs out. You will be given a warning a few days before it happens.





The Day:

Each day is divided into the following:

Morning Action
Move
Afternoon Action
Night Action

You may take one action during each action phase. If you want to do a non-action (such as heal) that will be done in the same pm and at the same time.



Parties:

During the game, you can officially form a party (team) if you wish. Once you have formed a party, you can have others join if:

1). Both of you are in the same room
2). Each of you posts in the thread, in bold, something like “Player X joins Party B.”

Teams move and attack as a group. Treasure from opponents is split around the players, but other actions in the room are not split up, so if an Assassin finds a secret cache with some gold in it, they keep it. The team needs to designate a leader, who will pm the team’s movement. Teams will split the XP for any monster they kill.

Thus, the more people in your team, the harder it will be for you to gain XP from monsters and items and gold. However, it can increase your chance of survival significantly. Players in a team will gang up on monsters, or split up monsters. This dungeon is designed to be beatable by a solo character, but it will be difficult and people will die.

Whoever deals the most damage to a monster gets any special items it has. Suppose that three players enter a room and attack and kill a Stegosaurus. If it had 60 gp and a Scroll of Abeish Power, and was worth 1200 XP, each player would get 20 gold, 400 XP, and the player that dealt the most damage would get the scroll. Of course, you can trade the scroll as soon as you like.

At any time, a player may leave a group by publicly posting in the thread. In bold, that she is doing so.

Parties may NOT automatically pm each other about what to do or where to go. That discussion must happen in public in the thread. In fact, there is no game mechanic which allows you to PM with another living player, ever.
