Now here are the rules, but lets start with a short story.
December 22, 2012 - 11:35 AM
The boy woke up with a shudder. He was covered in rubble - "what had happened?" he thought.
"Momma!" - he yelled.
He tried to push what seemed like half a chair off him when he noticed he was holding something in his hand - a DNA model he realized. It was crushed now, but he remembered what had happened...he was about to go to school when he remember his science project and came down to the basement to get it. What then?...he couldn't remember. He had picked up the DNA model when he suddenly got knocked out - but by what? Maybe there had been an Earthquake?
He managed to squirm out from underneath all the mess and climb up stairs. He was just about to walk to the sink when he saw something red on the carpet - blood. He followed the stains which were increasing in size until he found something in the dining hall almost unrecognizable until he saw an arm sticking out from under neath the dining room table. That was when he saw the face of his mother, his beautiful, loving mother, 5 feet away from her body. He looked outside and saw a barren land - almost noon and no sun was to be seen.
The significance of this mere boy will be described later.
The Game
Doomsday happened. But not everyone died - the careful few managed to survive, but just barely. There are now groups, "Clans", around the world, which are trying their best to survive. Now here are the rules:
1. Each round, 5 "clans" from one region somewhere on Earth will compete to survive. The last remaining Clan wins the round.
2. The first 10 people to post will participate in this game. When you post for entry, pick a number between 1 and 10. DO NOT pick a number that has already been picked. I have a premade list of number pairs, which wiill be used to pair together the 10 people into "Duets" . Each Duet will control a Clan together, i will give you the name of your clan once all 10 people are in.
3. The goal of this game is to keep up with your Clans growing Needs as the years go by. Each round, you will have to distribute points to specific areas of need such as Basic Needs(Food/shelter), Technology, MIlitary, etc. But be careful in how you assign points - your needs and the amount of points you need for a certain aspect will change as time goes on - for example, military will be minimal at the beginning, but that will all change very soon. You may also keep points for later rounds. The points are cumulative, so if you add points to a certain aspect in one round, that sum will remain till the next round, when the needed number increases.
4. How do you get points? Simple, i will post 3 questions on here. 2 will be simple, 1 will be pretty hard. Do not post on here to work on it, figure out a way for you and your partner to work together, maybe split up the the problems. Then, PM me the answer. Decide on a person to pm me.
The 1st team to pm me the answer to a simple question gets 5 points, the second gets 4, etc, until the last team gets no points.
The 1st team to pm me the answer to a hard question gets 10 points, the second get 9, the third 8, the fourth seventh, and the fifth gets 5.
You will have 2 days to answer each set of clues.
5. If you can't keep up with all of your Clan's basic needs for 2 straight rounds, another Clan may attack you. If their military+technology points are higher than yours, you will lose and be out of the game. The attacking clan will gain 10 points if they are victorious. However, the attacking clan will lose (8-x) points from both their military and technology points. The x = (Milt points attacking clan) - (Milt points defensive clan). So make sure you have stockpiled points before attacking! I will keep track of all calculations.
6. The last Clan surviving wins and will be archived for future use in a possible world wide game. The winning Duet - each person can nominate someone to be the next "Game Master" - the first PM i receive will be heads, the second tails. I will flip a coin. The next Game Master will be the according coin flip.
7. If you aren't part of this game, please don't spam...also, don't help out the teams with clues because that would be unfair.
8. Have fun! I can guarantee you the only thing you guys will need to do is solve clues and assign points, ill keep track of everything right on here....
9. Each turn is 2 days long, starting from when i post that set of clues.
I will edit this post as the game begins.
