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.

ha! good luck with thatby 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.no subject

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.

DARK MEI AND DARK GINO
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~

tentaclesPROSTETHICS YOU SAW NOTHING, just say so and she'll oblige.You can't kill her though, Gino and Mei will do this. XD

Yuki + Molly
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!
Re: Yuki + Molly
Yuki will be injured by Dark Gino
Molly will be killed by Dark Mei
Dark Yuki will be creeping on Grenn

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.
