This is the Continuation of the RPG that was in play on the old Mask of Destiny forums.
Original Topic
We will be playing starting from the last post in that topic.
"I once had a goal, you know. But I had a realization. I didn't want to meld the universe to my own desires. I just wanted to blow stuff up." -Elion
--Ultimate War V
Fire.
The deep blackness of space was permeated by an all-encompassing fire which consumed the area around it. Screams could be heard in the distance as the heat emnanating from the sphere started to burn the atmospheres of the planets around it.
A prominence erupted from this ball of death, seeming to burn reality itself. The laws of physics had stopped applying to it long ago.
For millenias, the hellfire of Underra had been controlled. But no more. The Great Beings were dead. There was nothing to stop its inhabitants from escaping.
If they wanted to.
The screams continued to rise as another planet burned out of existence, and the fire spread. In the blazing core of this destruction, a laugh echoed.
Reality would be ripped in pieces. Fire would consume everything. And before the forces of good even had a chance to stop it, the universe would be a living heck.
---Rules And FAQ:
Rules:
· The object of the game is to capture/conquer the 35 planets before the other side does. The alternative is to kill all of the players on the other side.
· No Balancers for the time being, because they disbanded. Balancers are now allowed
· No God-Modding. That means this:
1. No insta-kill posts and no dodging forever. The attacker must give a chance for the defender to react, and the defender can't keep dodging or taking hits without budging or taking damage at some point.
2. Also know that doing incredibly powerful things instantly from millions of miles away is also god-modding. Don't do it, or you'll be severely punished.
3. You know what else is god-modding? Bunnying. For those of you who don't know (not pointing fingers at anyone), bunnying is a term coined up by Shadrahk- it's when you control how your opponent reacts. For instance, saying that "you shot someone, and then they fell dead" is bunnying. Unless you do it to your own characters that are fighting each other (which is perfectly fine), bunnying is god-modding.
Guidelines:
· If you are a true neutral player you will always help the underdog in the battle.
· If you have MSN, get on it when you know another player's on. If you don't have MSN, getting it is strongly recommended. This keeps the topic alive.
· Team work is essential in war. Players may wish to control specific elements that compliment each other (Like Earth and Fire or Water and Air, for instance). Combinations like these could prove deadly to the opponent.
· PM each other (Or IM- which ever is better) to discuss Out of Character strategy for the game. You don't want to give away your secrets to the enemy, or else they'll counter it with forces of their own!
· Having FUN is the biggest recommendation for the players. If you don't have fun, you will lose. Guaranteed. What's that? You don't believe me? OK then, have fun losing.
· Play Ultimate War like you're writing a book, and not like it's a silly board game. This'll help the plot go along smoother and be a lot more surplus in awesomeness. Ultimate War isn't like the Arena RPG in entirety- it's more like a combination of that and a serious traditional-style RPG (such as Aegis' LOST).
FAQ:
· Q: Can I control every element?
· A: No. You are limited to two elements. Yes, psychic is an element.
· Q: Are we allowed to fight for a previous planet that's already been taken over?
· A: Yes. Definitely. This isn't a battle to see who gets the most. It's a fight for the whole freaking control of each of the 35 worlds.
· Q: Can we leave troops on a planet that's already been won by us?
· A: Yes. Go ahead and leave troops to guard the planet. It prevents the enemy from taking it over instantly.
· Q: For our race, can we choose to be human?
· A: Were there humans in the previous Ultimate War? How 'bout Transformers? There's your answer.
· Q: Can we control more than one character? Is there a limit?
· A: Yes, and there is a limit of 7 characters.
· Q: When do we start?
· A: When there's at least 2 different players on the Forces of Good(A good alignment),optionally 2 on true neutral and 2 on the Evil Power(Evil based alignment), that's when the Ultimate War begins. And yes, you can join in the middle of the RPG
· Q: Do our special attacks have to relate to our elements?
· A: No they don't. That's why they're called "Special."
· Q: What defines a "Special attack?"
· A "Special Attack" is an ability that is "usually" completely unrelated to your element, can destroy a huge chunk of an army, and usually takes a while to charge if powerful enough. You can have up to 3.
· Q: That's dumb! Only 3 specials is a lame rule. Is there any other way to get more specials?
· A: Ever tried tag team specials? You post which team members get together to perform a super special blast, decimating tons of stuff in the area. You can only have one tag team special with each character, that includes a tag team with more than one person.
· Q: Are we allowed to update our profiles as the war wages on?
· A: You can't have plot twists without change. So yes.
· Q: How exactly serious is this RPG?
· A: Put it this way: There is no "Barbie" allowed in the Ultimate War. No Beanface, no Barney, no "kiddie" characters period (unless you can find a way to make them bad-anus). That's how serious this war is.
