ROUND ZERO ANNOUNCEMENT [part 1]



Round Zero is from now to Friday, and it's all one in-game afternoon. This event is essentially the equivalent of an MMORPG joyfully killing off all of its players at the end of a beta. Actually, it's exactly like that. We'll put up a second announcement on Wednesday for the second part of the event.

You are all facing your dark doubles, who are wielding your fully unlocked weapons. They're physically very weak - one strike will dispel a shadow - so they're mainly a threat because they possess all of your upgrades whilst you obviously don't. Shadows can either look like your exact physical double - if you'd been dipped in black ink, anyway - or they can take on the aspect of a dark or alternate form if your character has one.

Also, everyone is now both Player and Weapon. You can draw your own weapon, or someone else's. You can give your weapon to someone else, and you can kill the shadows of others, but if you die or pass out your weapon goes with you.

Ah, yes. Dying. We aren't expecting all of the characters to survive this first part. There's another post coming after this one, but not everyone will make it to that part. If your character can't defend themselves, isn't being protected by someone or they make a misstep, it's very likely they're going to snuff it. It's up to you and the rules of drama whether you elect to have them killed here or in the next event, but everyone is going to die one way or another.

Weapons now cause real damage. For the duration of this event, you don't take empathic damage when struck by weapons. Cuts bleed, slashes maim, gunshots kill. &c. We'll leave this to your discretion, but try and keep it reasonable. No Ludicrous Gibs, please. However, please note that if your own weapon is damaged, you still take empathic damage from that.

You can NPC the shadows. Seriously, there's about forty of the things. The mods are enthusiastic but we're not omnipotent. Therefore! You have godmode control of your own character's shadows.

Don't worry about holding back. Characters are going to have extremely hazy memories of this round once they reach the game proper, and you can elect to have your character forget it completely if you'd rather. These deaths are not permanent.

It is important to note that these deaths don't count towards your character being 'undead', and everyone will still be carried forward into game proper with memories and items intact.

shadows

[personal profile] trollofthree 2011-01-24 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm calling dibs on dark!Gino, but dark!Sora and dark!Kotarou can be NPCed by anyone relevant to them.

[personal profile] tenwholeryou 2011-01-24 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
OKAY, UPDATE:

Kotarou is with Huashi and Oichi, and Dark Kotarou has been killed.

[personal profile] bitofafiction 2011-01-24 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
So is each person's shadow going to hunt them down specifically, or is it more of a free-for-all, or is it up to the mun? Also: drawing your own weapon still requires Exaclan glove, yes?

[personal profile] queenscheckmate 2011-01-24 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm. If someone can take out dark!Kallen ha! good luck with that by all means go ahead. Kallen is probably going to try and avoid fighting herself for reasons of skill level and not unlocked weapons abilities. And for abilities attached to the weapon, Kallen has Sonar and Revenge. Both are pretty deadly.

If you want Kallen to take out your shadow, lemme know. spoiler: due to popular demand, she's surviving this. She'll be using herself as a weapon, so she has a machine gun or what I assume to be one because I don't know guns all that well.

EL'S HAREM FORMATION NOW

Actually, I just need to know before I post in the events log :> Grey, Hyaa and Aki -- Should we all stick together now that El knows the existence of Kuchinawa, Shoujou and Tougyu in this Utopia and fight these things off like soldiers of love and justice? Tougyu might have other priorities though [like Hiyo lol] so he's welcome to go on his own, but for my two zealots, what do we do?

Especially you, Shoujou. El will just be facepalming when he learns about your problem with staircases.

Tougyu will probably stick with Shoujou on this one because he can't recognize either Hiyo or El. SO YEAH, YOU COULD TECHNICALLY SAY HE'LL BE FIGHTING FOR YOU.

Shoujou, zealot of zealots, will only be too happy to trash the lights of whatever El needs trashed! Sticking together is probably his main priority right now. Although he... hasn't met Kuchinawa yet, so. That will. Probably change.

...staircases are the work of the devil, okay. Nasty, tricky little things, staircases are.

Dammit. PRINCESSES ASSEMBLE. In this thread if possible. We're going to make this more epic that bunny apples.

Also we should probably work out what upgrades everyone got before we start with the fightans!

Okay as for upgrades -- I don't care much what Reiko got since I'm probably going to kill her off pretty quickly, so I'll just go ahead and say she got her Strength +10 upgrade.

Dark Rolo is up for grabs, but i'm gonna call dibs on Dark Oichi.

Sob Rolo and Euphie are probably going to kick it so early on. ;_;

[personal profile] idkmybffxiao 2011-01-24 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
WELL it has been decided that evil Mei and evil Gino will be going about trolling everyone else after certain other events. 8)

Would you like to be attacked by shadow!Tall and shadow!Tiny? Form a shadow!Alliance with them? Kill them/be killed by them? Though it may be more apt to tell us if you DON'T want them bugging you, since I am a wild threadjacking fiend~

If ANYONE feels the need to get trolled (not necessarily killed) by a dark!Grenn who has prehensible cables coming out from all over, and is floating in the air without her tentacles PROSTETHICS YOU SAW NOTHING, just say so and she'll oblige.

You can't kill her though, Gino and Mei will do this. XD
summerstars: (Default)

[personal profile] summerstars 2011-01-24 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh and Huashi will survive, wielding her staff and Kotarou's pendant, you can sign up to have her kill any shadows left over (super!monkey go :D; )!

Yuki + Molly

[personal profile] princesspowerful 2011-01-24 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuki: Preferably she lives but is seriously injured. Because. Canon

Molly: She should probably be killed, without her mutant power she really is just a 12 y/o girl and... she doesn't really realize that yet so she'll try and be a hero and fail >>

Dark Yuki and Dark Molly are up for grabs though!

Yuki will be injured by Dark Gino

Molly will be killed by Dark Mei


Dark Yuki will be creeping on Grenn

[personal profile] likesnothing 2011-01-24 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyone willing to take care of Dark Sasuke with regular Sasuke? Dark Sasuke is his curse seal form so there's marks all over his body and this creepy purple aura surrounding him. Eventually, Sasuke will be too tired to go on against his Shadow, so he'll have to submit to some sort of help later. He'll die anyway it's okay if he gets a bit of help

Okay, so Scott's shadow is basically gonna take the shape of NegaScott. Anybody wanna be killed/trolled by him? Scott's most likely gonna lose to his shadow because it's headcanon to me that he's kinda terrified of NegaScott and it's fully upgraded and stuff so yeah.



UPDATE: Yeah, I'm killing Scott in this. ShadowScott'll still be around, though. For now. OKAY I'M INDESISIVE SO WHAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS. IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS IN-THREAD.

If she can make it to the Oasis of Alive, she'll defs make it to the next round.

That being the thread with Kotarou, Huashi, Oichi and Sasuke. They've almost dealt with all of their shadows, and they're against one wall. Kotarou could shout for her to get to them? Others should be joining them too.

QUESTION!

[personal profile] firstlady 2011-01-26 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
What happens if you fall asleep due to the effects of your own shadow's weapon? (They have all our upgrades right?) If the player falls asleep in the Lobby, will another shadow take the opportunity to shank said character?

... is it possible reach the next round by playing dead?

/impromptu fail!plotting get
trollofthree: ([event] Dark Gino)

[personal profile] trollofthree 2011-01-26 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
Shadows won't try and shank anyone who looks dead. There are much more amusing targets. So, yes, you can survive Part 1 by playing dead.

[personal profile] drivesahonda 2011-01-26 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god, I love this event ♥ anyhow, regular Ieyasu will be killed by Dark Euphie, but Dark Ieyasu's still up for grabs if anyone wants to kill him/be killed by him!
