This is an RTD inspired by Transformice (
see here).
Due to the nature of the game, there is no maximum player count. The game will be split into rounds and turns. Up to 30 turns per round, and the rounds will continue, as long as this game runs.
Beyond this point, you will need to be familiar with the terminology of transformice to comprehend this post.
The shaman is the round's GM. This outsourcing will prevent the game from dying. There is a maximum of 24 hours between turns. Inactive for the first 5 turns of a round means that you are remove from the round. If at any time there is no shaman, or there is at most one non-shaman mouse, or certain map conditions are met, the remaining turns, if higher, will drop to 5. If there are no mice alive(escaped, died, or removed for inactivity), the round will end. It takes one turn for a shaman to summon something. (Exception: arrows. Can summon as many as they want in one turn, but not at the same time as summoning anything else)
Even though the shaman will be the GM, I will remain the bookkeeper, and update records, declare the next shaman, decide the map, post news to the first post...
Every player has the option to "register" a username that will be their character's name. Otherwise, they lose all progress and statistics after the first round not participated in. The username has an entry in one of the player list posts, in the following format:
(Bay12 username))
In-Game Username
Title
(This spolr contains a list of titles. They can ask for their title to be changed to any of these, and it will, at the end of the round)
(This spoiler contains a list of accomplishments. They act as roll modifiers and bragging rights)
(Some rich mice have hats...(and other visual enhancements))
(Things like cheese recovered, etc.)
You may automatically accuire titles and hats that you have in Transformice (the real game, not the imitation forum game), and can get accomplishments, if before/when you "register" for this game, you meet me in Transformice, English server 1, /room bay12, (or wherever the bay12 room is, see the forum thread about it) and ask me to copy your stats into here.
If enough users pm me /ban <username>, I will "ban" them, making them unable to play for 90
0 turns. (If I were strictly adhering to imitating Transformice, it would be 900, but as this is a slower forum game, it will only be 90)
I do not know how to have a two-shaman game, but if/when I do, they will occur.
This game will run on a modified RTD ruleset:
A 6 is not an overshoot, it is a perfect success, but may have destructive results for *others*. 4 and 5 are both success(although in a competitive situation, a 5 exceeds a 4), a 3 is a partial success, a 2 is a failure, and a 1 is a failure that often has negative consequences, depending on your action)
For the first round, I'll be shaman, to demonstrate how this will work. Once at least 4 other players sign up, the game will begin.
