[DinosaurusRex_x]

Scenario:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You and your group are on an industrial mission to acquire Unobtainium from a far away planet populated entirely by giant blue people called the Yagami and pterodactyls.  The Yagami look sort of like a cross-over between Doctor Manhattan from The Watchmen (giant blue dong waiving around and everything) and smurfs.  They are a primitive society of whom little is known about.  This Unobtainium is currently under their hills and needs to be mined out.  It is worth a lot of money on your home planet and is useful for many things, such as new medical technology, military applications, and is even rumoured to have properties involved in minor time travel and very limited magic.

Victory condition:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There will be only one winner in this game, the person who obtains the most Unobtainium.  You may PvP, team up, negotiate, back-stab, etc. each other or the planetary natives in anyway so long as you come out on top.  At the end of the 25th turn all of the stuff in your inventory, or stuff that you have securely stashed away, will be tallied up and ranks will be assigned.  Note that Unobtainium is useable for very helpful applications, but that spent Unobtainium is useless with the exception to break a tie. (Note that it still has to be in your inventory)

Character creation:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your character is your forum avatar, exactly as it is depicted.   If you have weapons in it, they will be added in your useable inventory.  If it is of an inanimate object, it will be granted sentience and movement based on what seems reasonable/entertaining/awesome enough.  Additionally, I will grant one positive and one negative ability to the avatar in question based on what I think about it.  I am open to suggestions on this if you have something particularly entertaining to say about yourself!

Pfft!   And you thought this was about the movie Avatar.

Game mechanics:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

There will be a starting cap of 6 players, but we will start tomorrow night regardless of how many we recruit.  I will be checking fairly regularly, and if say one person is lagging behind in posting (by a significant margin) they will be posted for to speed things along.  If somebody dies, they will be replaced with someone from the waiting list.   Since there is a moderate turn-cap, late-joiners will be given situational perks in such a way that will make it slightly less impossible for them to win that will be more advantageous the later it is in the game they join.

The gods favour the awesome in this RTD.  Choosing to do actions that are filled with "lawlz" or "roftls" will grant you unexpected bonuses.   Don't try too hard though, they can tell if you're forcing it.

Note: Each character starts with a single-use flare-gun in their inventory that can be used to call in a helicopter if they have a large score of Unobtainium. (modified to work even if your avatar has no hands).  There are only 2 choppers, and pending how far you are and how busy they are with other flares, it can take anywhere from 1 to 5 turns for it to arrive.

Rolling system:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1 - Epic Fail. There will be blood.
2 - Fail
3 - Meh
4 - Succesexy
5 - Perfect succesexy
6 - Overshot. So much blood!

Post your first action in your first post if you want to join, I will add your character to the character bank and give him/her/it abilities afterwards.  Just give him/her/it a name.  If you have any suggestions for your abilities include it in a spoiler and it might be considered.

Game start:   You have been travelling for weeks in suspended animation with the objective of finding and acquiring Unobtanium.  From the landing bay you are told that your investiment company's representatives has a rough idea that there might be some near a native settlement to the north by the mountains, but the path there is rugged.   There's a river that flows from NE and a small RTD Avatar community nearby to the West.

We have two big all terrain APVs equipped with manual digging equipment, explosives, and robotic mining devices for your group to go and collect them with.  As a lead/trail breaking vehicle we have an armoured hummer with a .50 cal machine gun mounted to the top and many boxes of ammo.

Is there a template to join? Or do we just post, because I would like to know what powers a crack addicted frog would have.

[Trollan]

"Yo, kermit, team up?"

Find the nearest blue thing and subjcet it to "interrogation".

[DinosaurusRex_x]

Posting your first action = joining the game!

Your powers will be granted at the beginning of turn 2.

[Bdthemag]

"WARBGLGLGLGLGLGLG, sorry about that. Sure thing."

Help Trollan with interogation.

[Trollan]

Portal gun?

[Ahra]

search for unobtanium WITH MY MIND!!

[Frelock]

Flip open my index and read up on unobtanium prospecting and mining.

That's right; the books are here, and we ain't afraid of anything.  _{Except a lit match...}

[wolfchild]

well i guess my character is a wolf

Try to sniff out unobtanium

[ExKirby]

Reserved while I quickly change my avatar =3

EDIT-Ok, Avatar is fixed, I team up with Frelock and read up on this unobtanium stuff.

[Krath]

Clearly the fact that my avatar is Gundam Ez8 means I will win this easily.

Use mah sensors to scan for Unobtainium nearby.

Scanning is for wimps. Mine it out. And by mine, I mean apply Beam Saber directly to hillside.

[major_sephiroth]

I'll scout out the area, using the flashlight maybe.

===========
==Turn 1 of 25==
===========
24 turns remain

You all just got off the landing ship and are off to find Unobtanium through any means necessary.

Current Soundtrack:
Avatar The Last Airbender Theme Song

Actions:

Find the nearest blue thing and subjcet it to "interrogation".

(...)    The nearest blue thing Trol and Lan find is the riverbank.  Lan tries asking it for information politely, but it just keeps flowing and ignoring him.  Trol tries playing the bad cop and pulls out his plasma rifle and fires two “warning shots” right next to the riverbank to see if it wants to play rough.  Unfortunately it seems as though the river does not want to play rough, and he doesn’t aim very well and hits right under his feet.  The ground isn’t stable and shakes into the river (...)   but he manages not to fall in.

"WARBGLGLGLGLGLGLG, sorry about that. Sure thing."

Help Trollan with interogation.

(...)   You jump into the river, hopping from lilypad to lilypad.  You and the river sure do get along.  The water feels like it is full of sediments.

search for unobtanium WITH MY MIND!!

(...)    You squish your brow really hard, trying to locate exactly where unobtanium is.   You think, and you think, and you think.  Pressure starts to build up from you trying so hard.   Your nose starts to haemorrhage, first red, then sorta brownish cerebrospinal fluid.  You keep thinking hard. (...)    You figure this isn’t working and stop thinking so hard before your brain squeezes out of your nostrils.   (You are lightly wounded)

Flip open my index and read up on unobtanium prospecting and mining.

(...)    You find some information about the Yukon Trail and people prospecting up north.  You keep looking.  You find that there was a videogame made about it sometime in the 90s.  You start looking up pictures for it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They’d mine for gold sometimes using gold sleuths, which was an elaborate system of downward walls to throw dirt and water into if they suspected the riverbank was filled with gold.   Hmm.   You start to get bored and look up stuff about pirates plundering gold in one of your other books.

Try to sniff out unobtanium

(...)    You sniff, and you sniff, and you sniff.   Unlucky for you, you sniff in a bee.  It stings you in the nostril, swelling up and sealing it off instantly.   Your only saving grace is that it swelled so fast that it crushed the bee inside your nasal passages.    Ewww..  You can kind of taste bee guts running down your nose and dripping.

I team up with Frelock and read up on this unobtanium stuff.

(...)    You grab one of his books eager to help out, but maybe you’re a little too eager.  You slit one of your wrists open with his bookmark.  Oh no! (...)    You manage not to bleed all over his pages at least.   Good teamwork. (You are wounded and require medical attention)

Notes:  Since there is a turn cap I’ve decided that if you choose to heal yourself you can still perform a minor action in the same turn.  The more mild your injury the more stuff you can do.  If it is a severe injury dealing with say an amputation that will be your entire turn aside from maybe ducking for cover.
