Dunlake Mansion Saferoom

[Everoy]

I'll post after the next update.

[Weasel Overlord]

Important Post Time!

Thing the 1st - Warnings

- You can have up to 3 warnings from me, and if you get a 4th, you will be killed off. No exceptions. These are given for; not stating your actions at the end of your post (my job is not to read through and try and decipher what you're doing), if another person brings a grievance to me, not following the rules stated in the RPG, and that's about it, really. Not much else, tbh.

Thing the 2nd - Health!

- Ahah, I hear you cry. Health! Yes indeedy. You each start off with FIFTY (50) hit points, or HP (or Healths). When you take damage, I will knock HP off your total. When you use a healing item, I will add HP back on to your total. When you reach ZERO (0), you are dead. Your totals will be in the first post, same as your bullet totals and your character's status.
- If you go below ZERO (0) - this can happen if you are killed by a particularly nasty attack - you will become UNDEAD, where you will count as being infected by the attack. Depending on what attacked you will determine what you turn into.
- Health loss will be in red; Health gain in green.
- A STARS team member will initially take less damage from an attack, because of the simple fact that they are wearing body armour. If the Survivors find and put on body armour, this damage reduction will apply to whoever is wearing it. Simple!

D: Mike you're not on! Bum!

STARS 1

Vanessa and Jeremy partner off to the left side of the Hall. The door lies underneath the balcony on the first floor, just past where the large staircase begins. The wallpaper covering the walls is luridly patterned like a throwback to the sixties, and the door has four long panels and an ornate, round doorknob. Vanessa reaches out and tries the doorknob cautiously. It gives beneath her hand, turning smoothly, and the door swings out and away from her as she lets go of the knob. It's unlocked!

Not that it isn't obvious but I'm for going through the door. Lol, but this time you make the post. XD Unless you outright object to this notion.

[VirtualPlay]

D: Mike you're not on! Bum!

Well excuse me for working third shift. =\

STARS 1

I do agree that we should go through the door, however I'm not sure whether or not we've noticed the thump of the body from the STARS 2 group. I would like to hold off posting until I've learned whether the body (or the STARS 2 group) made enough noise for us to notice. If we didn't notice then yes, go through the door. If we did notice, I'd like to call out and inquire what the noise was.

*pesters Kirst for an answer*

[Weasel Overlord]

Well, I'd say use your common sense, lol! One of the teammates will have made a surprised noise, and tbh, I'd be shocked if you guys didn't hear the sound of a body falling from a high place.

[Roy Karrde]

STARS 2

I am all for checking the body, possibly one of us look it over, while the other stands guard just in case it isn't dead yet.

[VirtualPlay]

STARS 1

Alright, so the loud thump would definitely get our attention. A question to STARS 2: if one of us were to call out asking what the loud thump was, would you guys call back requesting assistance or tell us you have it under control and for us to keep going our way?

[Roy Karrde]

STARS 2

David would call out that everything is fine and to keep going. One fallen body isn't important enough to derail your assignment.

[Crystal Tears]

STARS 1

But where there's a body there's something that made it dead. Maybe we shouldn't split up after all.

[VirtualPlay]

STARS 1

Yes, well, if they just call out that everything's fine and don't tell us that it's a body that fell then we aren't going to know. David is going to call out like that, so it depends on whether Evan will or if he thinks that group 1 should know about the body.

(Waiting for Everoy to post on what Evan will do…)

[Crystal Tears]

STARS 1

Well you can go ahead and post your shouting out for their answer. At least then we got what we're doing. :3 If they say everythings sunshine and rainbows, we move through the door. If not, we come back, guns a blazin'.

[Weasel Overlord]

Important Post!

Okay, so you may notice from my latest that some more stuff's come up! This means it's Pelting You With Information time again! Hurrah!

Thing the 1st; battles
- Obviously, this is a big one. There's not much to say at this point. Monsters have a set amount of hit points (health), just like you do. Of course, you are not going to know how much this is the first time you fight one. This means battles will, at first, be a sort of trial and error until you amass information on your foes.
- Once you have killed a foe, their data will be saved in the main post, and you will then know how many shots it takes to kill it, and where its weak points are.
- If you are in a battle, it works pretty much like the normal posting system. You put your actions, where you spend bullets (again, trial and error, so you can say something like: "I shoot three times for the head" and I'll let you know the success of your attack in my reaction post.
- Don't forget, ammo is key. Conservation of ammunition could very well save your lives - don't be wasteful.

Thing the 2nd; action queuing
- Okay, so now we're all acquainted with the action system, it's time to step it up a notch. You are all managing very nicely to communicate using the Saferoom, and you can use this to decide on your actions for the future, as well as your immediate one.
- For example; if there are items in the room, and you find two out of three of them, when I will then tell you what they are. Your post could go as such; 1. We will take two items [insert item names here] 2. We will try [Key 1] in [Door 2]. 3. If it doesn't work, we will try [Key 2] in [Door 1].
- And so on.

Thing the 3rd; the posting times
- As we can see, we have a perfect example of someone not posting inside the allotted time. In fact, we have two people. If you do this, there will be consequences, as you can see from Everoy's Zombie Bite. He got an injury for not posting once yet.
- Not posting has consequences.
- This includes even if I don't post for a while. This is not an excuse. You WILL get et by nasty things.

Survivors

Key or weapon... Key... or Weapon...

I'm happy to leave the stabbing object for someone else. Lets take the key, try the door, if it doesn't work in that door, it may be for somewhere else, but it's probably for that door XD Maybe once we explore this room, we should try getting out.

Aim for the head! Aim for the head! D:

[Unbraced]

Chobi, if you take the key, I'll take the Weapon

[Roy Karrde]

Seeing how Everoy still hasn't posted... and I wonder if he ever will, I guess I am going to go on and post the first battle action.

[Mystic_clown]

Hmmm, if the key doesn't work on the door, try smashing the window with the weapon.

[Unbraced]

Excellent idea. Will do.

[Weasel Overlord]

You guys (mostly talking to survivors here), you're going to have to stop discussing things in here and then just not posting afterwards, otherwise you will be killed off.

After this round of actions, I'm going to be looking at people who don't post regularly and there'll be consequences for your character. If everyone dies, the RPG will die and be closed. Just so you know.

[ChobiChibi]

Hello Survivors! *prod*

We need to talk. Not here, but in the RPG itself. So far, I see no kinda interaction between us. There was no conversation between the boys about taking the clothes.

Also, we can't just assume stuff either. I took the gun cos none of you mentioned it. As Roxanne said, she will give it up later if one of the others wants it, but seriously... Lets all just make decisions. They're not gonna hurt at the end of the day. We need a lot more attention to detail, since Kirst pointed out that we all missed the stick with something pointy attached to it, which was blates a weapon. There are zombies. We need all the weapons we can get XD

Kay. Nuff said. Sorry to rant, guys ><

You got a point. I'll talk after Over posts

[Weasel Overlord]

Hey all! I bring a surprise~

Here is the official Project Dunlake website! It's a place where I'll be keeping your character status, inventories, and health, as well as all the notes and items you find, and comprehensive data on the monsters you'll encounter. I'll be removing the stats from the first post of the Saferoom, so don't forget to bookmark the site and check it frequently!

Weas over and out! <3

[Weasel Overlord]

Me again! Just letting you guys know that I've added DL and VP's new characters to the website.

Survivors: I need a post from one of you, so I can get them both integrated in as part of your group, ay?

[DarkestLight]

Yes, Im ready to come and start some real RE spelunking.

[Unbraced]

Sorry about the absence.

Ready to post

Nice site

[Roy Karrde]

Guys I am really confused as to what I should do now that Envoy is gone, any help?

[VirtualPlay]

Either write him off as dead or just do your best to keep him alive (you know, as much as putting a red shirt on him would keep him alive).

[Crystal Tears]

Or ask Kirst, she might have an idea? My post is coming eventually (later tonight or tomorrow), I feel a bit off today.

[DarkestLight]

CAN I KILL HIM?! PLEEEASE ?!?!?!? MURDER ISH FUN.

NO seriously, I woulnd't mind my character already having a slightly murderous side. Not deranged, but starting to evolve into a slightly more finds-pleasure-in-pain sort of thing. I don't mean like rip his limbs apart, like lead him into a trap unwillingly, even though I'd just evaded said trap before?

Unless, you know, I'm in a completely different area, and then I'll shush myself.

[Weasel Overlord]

What VP said. And this is the only time I'm gonna do this, but if you don't post by like, tonight, you're on the chopping block too. Sorry!

[DarkestLight]

Survivors: I need a post from one of you, so I can get them both integrated in as part of your group, ay?

This means I hafta wait until you post me in the RP before I can post, correct? :uper anxious/excited!!11!1!!11!11 <--can't you tell by the number of 1's to !'s::

[Weasel Overlord]

See new posts, DL. You're in~

[Unbraced]

Uh, Are we waiting for someone? (please don't be me please don't be me)

[Weasel Overlord]

You're waiting for me. Post will be up later on today, natch.

[Unbraced]

Oh,sorry. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't holding everyone up.

[Weasel Overlord]

re: my last reaction post.

Actions
An action is counted as something that your character does at the end of their post that advances the game. Examples of actions are as follows;
1) Picking up the small box
2) Looking around the room for any exits
3) Attacking the enemy

The following are not examples of actions, and should not be at the end of your posts;
1) Talking to teammates
2) Wondering what's going on
3) Any other character interations

The main bulk of your post is where any interactions and feelings and whatnot go. The action tag is there simply for us to move on the RPG. If in an entire round all of your group just talks among yourselves or introduces yourselves or whatever (like Survivors did last time) we won't get anywhere, and I literally have nothing to post to further the RPG. I am not here to do all the work for you - the purpose of my posts is to tell you the consequences of your actions, not to tell you what you have to do next.

If anyone at all has any questions, or is confused, please for gods sake, let me know. Send me a PM if you can't find me online - I come on TPM more than once every day, so even if I'm not on MSN or AIM or whatever, I'll get a PM and reply to you as soon as I do, or you can just post them in this topic and I'll reply straight away too.

The reason I'm being so strict with the rules is that this is a Survival RPG, lol. Not gonna be nice, you've gotta use your brains otherwise you'll die like Roy and Everoy did.

[VirtualPlay]

Survivors

Okay, Becki and I already have a plan with our characters, and unless Becki posts before tomorrow then I'll have a post up in the morning. Roxanne's basically going to escort Kat back to the office to acquire the wedding dress (assuming the path is still clear), so nobody post to run off down a hallway or something. If someone posts before then then I'll edit my post before putting it up, but expect something tomorrow.

Survivors EDIT: Well, got the post up, so if any of the guys wants to tag along to make sure the girls are safe feel free to chase after, just not all of you please.

STARS

Well, I didn't see you on all day, Sie, so I'm posting here for you. I'm gonna get a post up with shooting Zombie-Evan, and if I get it complete I'll post it tomorrow, otherwise I'll save it for after we can actually exchange info.

STARS EDIT: Alright, Zombie-Evan shot in the head. Have fun with Zombie-David, Sie (and yes, I left him for you on purpose ).

[DarkestLight]

Sorry for not posting this weekend, I was hella disappered.

[Weasel Overlord]

Don't worry, DL. As long as someone posts for your group, you'll be fine. Which brings me to reclarify some details.

If I can bring your attention to this post earlier in the Saferoom;

IMPORTANT POST, PLX READ

Okay, I figured I'd clarify some shizzles. In the signup topic I said that I'd put the life of anyone who didn't post before me in danger. This is true. What I expect is this:

If you've decided to split up into groups, I want at least one post from each group before I post with the consequences.

If you're doing a single action on your own which will affect what the rest of you do next, I will post after that so you can carry on. BUT you must state that you want to see the consequence of that action before you carry on.

The maximum time I will wait for a post from someone who needs to post is FIVE DAYS. If, after five days, a person has not posted when they should have, they will immediately be subjected to instant and very painful death. Their weapons may not be salvageable, and you may lose important items in the process, so it is in everyone's best interests to not let this happen. (If, in this case, you die and then want back in, you can be a survivor player. Just pm me.)

I keep harping on about communication, I know, but this is the reason why. No, we don't need a post from everyone in the group - you will not die unless you repeatedly do not post, like Everoy did.

The point of the Saferoom is so that you can discuss what to do next. So if you decide that you want to check out the corridor and state as much in here, then I'll be waiting the given 5 days for you to post with that action. If the person who said they would post with the action does not post within the 5 allotted days, then they get a penalty - a consequence. We have already seen these in action.

I'm going to do a list of the rules, since people seem to not be reading or remembering them, and put them on the website, which is here. Please check them frequently - I'll let you know if I add anything new, and I'll post updates in here too.

Hope that helped!

[DarkestLight]

Survivors.

I wanna go down that hallway, but since the girls are headed down to get the last bits of clothing, I figure I let ya know my plan. So now I decided to be a bum and just go for the door that Lafitte is listening in on. I'll post that tonight.

[VirtualPlay]

Survivors

Okay, Kat would actually be interested in finding out what the plant-like object is at the end of the hallway. Plant could mean food! …Or it could mean poison, but we won't know unless we investigate. However, Kat would flat-out refuse to investigate alone, owing to her near-total lack of courage at the moment, so is there anyone that would want to accompany her? If not, then she'll follow the rest of the group.
