Read First: AVP RPG Rules

[#1 Zombie Killer]

Basic Rulz:

1. Third person posting.

2. Character dialog should use quotation marks "Damn Peter, you really scared the hell out of me"

3. Do not post one liners, it gives the other player nothing to work with.

4. Try to post at least 1 paragraph consisting of 8 to 10 sentences each.

5. When roleplaying in battles, remember that you are not a God so you can be harmed.

6. Auto-hitting is defined as roleplaying that you hit your opponent with an attack before they have a chance to reply or defend themselves. It is always wiser to "attempt" a strike.

7. All kills must be sanctioned by the moderator or an administrator, this includes non player characters.

8. When doing your roleplay posts, use the PAST tense (turned, stood). If you post something out of character, put it at the bottom of the post like so..
OOC: Message

9. Do not Powerplay (taking control of someone else’s character without their permission).

10. The administrators and moderators reserve the right to make all judgment calls in combat situations. When characters are fighting they will take turns posting, attacker going first. Once one person has posted an attack, they cannot post another attack, nor move their character until the opponent has posted his or her counter attack or damage infliction.

11. Each player may have several characters
(one human, one alien/Predator etc). When posting make it very clear which character is involved.

12. Story lines often require one person to declare actions/dialog for another player’s characters. Try to keep this to a minimum, if you must, Be nice. Anything you declare that another player’s character is doing or saying should be in line for how that player has developed his character. When a storyline involves several characters give the other players a chance to contribute. Don’t jump the story beyond their chance to respond.

13. You can run out of ammo, you don't have an endless amount. (GM will let you know when you are getting low and need to reload). This can be particularly dangerous if an Alien is quickly approaching your location.

14. Take it serious please, don't be a "space-SHUTTLE" kind of player

15. Players/characters shouldn't get ahead of the game play.

Example: If a player's character is close to a primary location they must come up with something to do - ie sleep, eat etc. At that time the GM will indicate that the next level and/or location has been reached, or completed.
(really only applies to RPG's that are constantly being posted on)

16. At various times throughout the RPG the GM will add more details, in the third person "story" perspective to describe the major plot points, locations, quests.

Type 1 combat is a type of textual combat designed with logic, precision and detail in mind. It’s a turn-based style, allowing every player involved equal time and space to post their character’s move. There are four types of ‘turn’ that a player can make in a T1 fight: Prep, Attack, Defense and Connection.

Battles between characters and established threats:


1) Open a personal challenge by adding (CC) "character challenge" placed after the last paragraph of your post. Unless a fight is started by a moderator.

a) If a character does not want to compete, they can deny the challenge, ie flee. Unlikely in the case of Aliens and Predator's fighting.

b) All regulations concerning such attacks (listed above) must still be adhered to, no auto-hitting etc.

Prepping:
A 'prep' is a turn in which the character prepares to launch their attack. A prepping move should state clearly what ability is being prepared for use and provide some imaginative description of this process, whether it be an elaborate ritual or a intense concentration etc.

Attacking:
An attacking move should be a detailed account of everything vital to the attack: the stance of the attacker, the momentum or direction of the attack, the method of the attack, and it should hint at the desired outcome.

a) GM will determine the outcome via an automatic dice roller, which will indicate either a HIT or a MISS

HIT:
Victim is stuck by the attacker, "failing a block, dice roll."

b) If it is a hit then the other player still gets a chance to block/defend themselves, this will determine the severity of the hit (ie the connecting blow)



Defending:
Like an attack, a defensive move must allow for the defender’s stance, method, and desired outcome.

a) GM switching to block in the program which will generate the results, Partial defense/block or Total defense/block.

b) Partial defense and the victim only gets slightly bruised from the ordeal, (ie stunned).

c) Total defense and the victim successfully blocks the attack




MISS:
On a miss, it is the opponents turn, which cancels the connecting phase (ie the person being attack does not get injured, because his attacker missed the target)
