Main game: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138012.msg5205249#msg5205249

A RtD of epic proportions....

Since all of the players of that game have decided to pretty much evolve to super-forms I decided to make this as a means of a Morality Chain/Karmic Retribution. This will play similarly to a Roll to Dodge with a few major differences:

• There will be no rolling. All decisions will be made by me.
• Things that occur in the Roll to Dodge impact this game
• Not all actions require my approval (I'm living this grey for now, but if it starts getting out of hand...
• Roleplay is more the focus here.

So, a few basic rules:

• Permadeath: Once a character dies, they're dead for good. No coming back as a ghost, no resurrections. There's a reason this is called "Heavy Drama Edition"
• You must all play as regular, non-superpowered humans.
• You must make a character sheet and then adhere to it. If you say that your character is female, aged 21, you can't come back later and say that your character is a male trap whose really 700.
• Realism is rewarded, good roleplaying is rewarded. I want to make this like a dramatic television show without the production values.
• Crime will be punished according to a justified scale based on actual legal concept and reasonable sentencing.
• Time scale is only 1/2 reality. If your character is sentenced to 3 years in prison, they'll be in there for 1 and 1/2 real years. This may seem ridicuolous, but hey, try not to break any laws, right?
• For RP'ing fun and because of the previous rule, you may have more than one character. Currently there is no character limit, and I don't foresee there being one.
• You can befriend the characters in/from the RtD, but you cannot enlist their aid without my approval.

Because this is part punishment, all of you in the RtD are required to play for at least a week. ( Here defined as you participated in this thread at least once for a day, and a total of seven (non-consecutive) days in which you have participated. ) However, I want this to be a "funishment", I hope it is and will still be a fun game. This is what you guys get instead of being smited in the RtD on account of Tune time travelling. Be wary of what you do in both as they will counter-affect one another. However, due to the heavier nature of this game I might filter out some of the more world destroying things with some sort of plot-contrivance.

Another thing, people who don't participate in the Roll to Dodge can still participate here, but you're advised to pay attention to or actively participate in, so that you won't be blind-sided by happenings from the RtD.

For now, since I don't have maps drawn of Microphonia, just list the following:

• Size ( Preferably in square feet, but square meters are fine too. )
• Location ( Just list established locations and your relative distance from them. I'll figure it out when I draw the map.
• Price Range. ( What you figure your character can reasonably spend on living quarters.
• How much you will pay a month in rent or mortgage payments.

Cheesistan has no property tax, so don't worry about that. I do want this game to be much less abstract, but not as detailed as Dwarf Fortress. Everyone knows what happened to the DF economy.

Here we honor the memory of the dearly departed. Requiescat in pace


-EMPTY!-

If you play multiple characters, you'll need a sheet for each. I would appreciate it if you add your characters to the Wiki, which you can find here: http://Cheesistan.wikia.com/ In fact, I might make it a requirement if keeping up with the characters becomes a hassle. And if you do make a Wiki page, copy-paste your character sheet in.

For the artistically inclined, we do accept and encourage fan-art. However, by posting fan-art in this thread you agree that I may also post it into the Wiki. ( I promise that I will not use your fan-art for any other purpose than the Wiki or a computer desktop background, I'm not out to rip anybody off. )

So, let's pop the cork on this thing and get the monstrosity started! ( I'll post my character sheets as soon as I notice that people from the RtD are actually showing up. )

Did i do this right?

[CaptainMcClellan]

Date of Birth. You're welcome for teaching you a valuable acronym you'll need to know for filling out most paperwork.

[Prophet]

Thank you. I'm going to wait for someone else to post a character sheet first I've never made a really detailed character sheet before so i want a example first.

Since time travel plots invariably lead to dystopian alternate futures, here's my idea:

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Willhelm Stringcheese II
Age: 54
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Pureblood Cheesistani
Relationship Status: Single
Mother: Baroness Catherine Fromagier (deceased)
Father: Frederick Stringcheese IV, (age 77, missing)
Siblings: Frederick Stringcheese V (deceased), Anne Stringcheese (age 40), Alexander Stringcheese III (age 49)
Citizenship Status: Citizen No. 1
Employment Status: Supreme Potentate of the People's Democratic Protectorate Kingdom of Cheesistan, with formal salary of $400,000 Cheesistani dollars per anum but in truth having unlimited power over the Treasury's discretionary spending.
Bio: During the Communist revolution of the 1980's, House Stringcheese distanced themselves from the rest of the aristocracy and Frederick Stringcheese managed to co-opt the revolution, securing the Stringcheeses' iron grip on the country ever since. His middle son, Willhelm, has ruled the country since his tragic and mysterious disappearance a decade ago, indoctrinating his subjects on a mix of religious fundamentalism, pseudo-socialist PR campaigns, and appeals to nationalist fervor.

The Potentate is a shrewd, if slightly unhinged leader, with a somewhat ascetic lifestyle that conveniently prevents him from being lambasted for personal excess like so many other dictators. He keeps the standard of living just high enough that people are general too apathetic about their leadership to want to change it.

Spoiler: House (click to show/hide)

Cheesistan Federal Palace, a large, austere living complex with moderate grounds located near the center of the capital city. Upkeep expenses come from the national treasury.

[Prophet]

My sheet is up.

[WillowLuman]

I get the feeling that Cheesistan has to be somewhere in or near the Balkans. That's about where most tiny fictional countries wind up, that or the Caucasus.

[Prophet]

Really i thought it was in America or England that's where those guys from the video live right?

[Beirus]

Alright, my sheet is up now too.

[Lyeos]

It's in America.

Sheet coming soon.

[WillowLuman]

Wait, it is? Have I been operating on erroneous assumptions for the entire game? Has it all been some kind of Molossia deal?

[Prophet]

Oh yeah Cheesistan was a micronation i think its a real nation now though. In game that is.

[CaptainMcClellan]

Wait, it is? Have I been operating on erroneous assumptions for the entire game? Has it all been some kind of Molossia deal?

It exists simultaneously in the Balkans, East Switzerland, South of Russia, and North of downtown L.A. It's also ten minutes from Tartarus in any direction and will always be so no matter how much it expands. Thanks to the almighty powers that the Bay12 forums ascribe to cheese this is all possible without the use of TARDIS tech. ( Though now that I've agreed to it, it will probably be used to help. XD )

In all seriousness, the place would technically be in Southeastern California because Rhett and Link live in L.A. and I assume that Cheesistani lands stretch to the mountains since Beirus is on a moutaintop. However, it's also adjacent to several dystopian nations such as Obristan and Kolechia. So... It's bound to be in more places than is physically possible. This doesn't matter, because once outside Cheesistan it shrinks. It's sorta like a black hole but not really. More of a spatial distortion. I dunno.

[Prophet]

I have a idea what if Cheesistan is not just a nation but a alternate dimension too?
