I have something to run by you guys. This is about how to game will play out.
The game will start with my introduction. This introduction will lay out the scene and describe what can be gathered from the Cornucopia. It will also describe the area around the cornucopia. Basically, what your characters can see will be in the introduction. Everyone will start at the same place. As everyone knows, if you step off your platform too early, you will explode. I will not be doing that during this game, so the very first post will end as soon as your character can step off their platform.
At this point, you will all need to PM me with what you plan on doing. If Jorick wants to head straight for the Cornucopia and get an Axe and food pack, he will need to tell me that in a PM. If Turt wants to immediately run away and hide, he needs to tell me that. Whatever your character whats to do, you need to let me know immediately. From there, I will give you your rolls and whether you encountered anyone. If you did encounter anyone, I will tell you how the fight went down statistically.
After you receive this PM from me, you will post an In-Character post, adding your own flair but keeping true to the rolls you were given. If you are fighting someone else, they will get the same 'combat' information as you did and you can both collaborate on a post before putting it up. Once this is over, I will allow a 'Rest Period'. This Rest Period will give you free time to roam around the arena and gather certain things without any combat. You can not be killed during this Rest TIme. You can work with your alliances and do anything else you wish. However, I may through a little fire in the pit and the games can be on again at any time. A Rest Period has no set length of time. You either take advantage of it, or you don't.
What does everyone think of this? Would you tweak it? Do you have other ideas? Let me know, please.
