announcement two new rules

Posted April 12, 2013 by Redack

There aren't many rules because too many rules would ruin the creativity of the game, but I'll get them listed soon.

NEW RULE 1: You may not do multiple actions in one action.

The only exception may be in the case of elaborating a complex action (such as constructing something).
NEW RULE 2: You may not do an action in a room that you are not in. Example:

Action 1: Walks into the Basement.
Action 2: Searches the Basement for items.

There are two reasons for this. One, you're not actually in that room yet. Two, it allows you to get extra moves into a room- in the example above you've just searched the room so in the next round you don't need to and can use your three moves on other things. This is unfair on those who choose to play fair.

Where it has your room, role and inventory you don't see a green "View Memory" link?

It's currently to the left of the big map image that Xhin made.

It's also worth noting you have to be logged in to your account to view it.

Nevermind, I just ghosted your account.

I'll see if I can figure out why you've got nothing there.

Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with how I set you up, it's just the same as everyone else... I'll get Xhin to figure it out but in the mean time use these:

So under this would be "grab and begins reading" be considered a double action?

No.

The reason being is, if you'd just said "reads this thing" then I'd assume you pick it up.

However if you want to keep it (add it to your inventory) that would then require a second action.

So, am I allowed to make another action when I've only done one or is that it? In the same room, that is.

So the first action I took in the Library is not allowed?

@castrael, you're still allowed to use all three actions. I'll just void any double actions where you do more than one action in one of the three boxes (such as when people say "Searches the cupboard and the roof and the carpet and the chest").

@chief, your first action is fine because what you did is one action with additional detail rather than multiple actions all at once.

Okay that makes sense. Thanx Redders.

I'm not sure I get the second rule anymore. It sounds like you're only allowed to move 1 square at a time. If you're in a room, you can't exit to the corridor, then enter another room? You can void the action, fine, but the movement is unclear. Please clarify or you will die a horrible death. Thanks.

HOW do I join or play/

Didn't see these sooner :(

@LLight, what you can't do is move two rooms in one round. Each round you get three actions, what I'm saying you can't do is (and let's just assume you're in the attic for this example):

1. Moves to Corridor.
2. Moves to Bedroom.

OR

1. Moves to Corridor.
2. Searches Corridor.

Because currently you'd be in the Attic. Your character (you) isn't in the Corridor until the next round.

@S.O.H. you'll have to wait until the next game.
