FG site Rules! *(PLEASE READ THIS)*

[FG Admin]

*PLEASE READ ALL OF THE RULES AND FOLLOW THEM. FAILURE TO OBEY WILL LEAD TO WARNINGS AND/OR BANNING*

OVERALL SITE RULES
The rules are now a whole lot more simple. They are as follows:

1. Do not annoy the admin.
This is a simple rule, don't break it!
Do not harass me, do not break the rules, do not post stupid things that will make me angry. Breaking the following rules will get me angry, and doing so will get you warned. If you continue to make me very angry I will just ban you without any warning whatsoever. Being completely obnoxious towards me or the other players will lead to your account being deleted and will never be restored under any circumstances.
Below is a complete list of all the other rules on the site, not following these rules will count as making me angry. The rules are here for a reason so please follow them. This rule trumps all other rules. You have been warned!
(I am pretty easy going, so if you manage to break this, you deserve it)


2. No stupidity.
No vulgar images,
No excessive cursing,
No random dumbness,
No vulgar scenarios that mess up the story,
Try to keep things reasonably clean.
"Checkpoint code 1: No"
No spam posting
No short one line posts.


3. Be respectful to one another, and no harassing
These two go hand in hand. Harassing someone is being disrespectful to them. And please do not go around godmodding. Break this rule and you will be banned without warning.

4. Notify players before becoming absent
This also falls under being respectful. If you don't wish to play anymore or you know you will be busy for the next few days, post in the "Heroes' lounge" that you won't be able to log on.
"Checkpoint code 2: More"


5. Signing up
GUESTS CAN POST IN THE HEROES LOUNGE! If you have questions, ask before signing up.
When you sign up for the site you will have to send a PM to the Admin containing your character's bio in order to get your account fully activated. Within the site and rules page there are three checkpoints, find them all and complete the message in quotation marks and than paste the secret message to the bottom of your character's Bio (In the PM). Failing to add the message will lead to your account being denied because it will show you didn't read all of the rules.
"Checkpoint code 3: Heroes."


6. The Last and final rule is also the most important rule of all!
JUST HAVE FUN!

Life in Osiris

1. Learning the basics: The Dice Log

First off, on the left side of the screen you will see the "Sidebar", at the very top of this sidebar you will see "The dice log". The dice log will be used for many things in the roleplay, like how to use your life skills, which is what this post is all about. You will first have to make an account and sign up. It is highly recommended that you use the same email address that you use to sign up for this site. The only way you may view the dice log for this site is if the admin adds your email address to the list. Once you are added you may view the "Heroes VS Villains" dice log. Other players will be able to see your email address when you post in the log, so choose carefully. When you first click on the dice log button a error message may pop up, simply click the proceed button to enter the site. The error message is just telling you that the site is unknown and may be dangerous, but I have been using it for years now; it is completely safe.

We will be using the (D100) roll dice on the site so that we can roll high numbers. Go sign up now and read over everything so that you can get familiar with it all. Once you think you understand, read below to learn how this works on the Roleplay.

Signing up to the dice log-
Even if your email address has been added to the dice log you will not be able to log in until you sign up. Follow the instructions below to join the Online virtual dice log:

1. Click on the dice log picture on the left side bar.

2. Click proceed when the warning pops up.

3. At the top of the page click on "validation of your mail address on the registration page"

4. Even if you were already added to the log it won't let you log in until you sign up. So enter your email address and choose a password then click the submit button.

5. Repeat the above to Confirm both the email address and password.

6. You will receive a confirmation email. Go to the email and follow the instructions.

7. Come back to Former Glory and click on the Dice Log picture again. In the space provided it will say:
"Dice log service : join an existing dice log", type in your email and password in the space below. You now have full access to the dice log.

Still can't log into the dice log? Send a PM to the Admin for help.

---

2. A successful skill is a useful skill! (Example of how skills work)

If you roll a 49 or lower, you will have Failed the skill. 

If you roll a 50 or higher, you will Succeed in the skill.

 

Click here for a skills reference chart. There will be a small tutorial phase when you start, so don't worry if you don't understand it all at once. Skills are unlocked and level up based on what you write and how your character trains.

Most skills will start off with no bonus and will display a 0, written as (+0) in your bio.
If you level up your skill you will gain a +1 bonus (+1) for the next time you roll. This bonus will be added to your skills in your Bio Inventory. Skills have a series of secret requirements attached to them, fulfill those requirements and you will gain a bonus point for your skill, or unlock a new skill. Depending on your character's past and what is written in their bio could also unlock certain skills when you start the game.

For example, going to a gun range and practicing could gain you the Marksman skill and earn several accuracy points. Using a bit of logic will normally help you fulfill the requirements, but the Admin will not tell you specifics about unlocking abilities.  

When outside of combat, performing successful "Chance rolls" might also grant you a few skill points,  you simply need to roll higher than 50 for a success.

Let's use the slight of hand skill as an example. This skill can be used not only to steal objects off of other players or NPCs, but also to steal items hidden in a room. When you use a (D100) roll, we call these "Chance rolls" because you only have a 50% chance for success.

Here is a small example of how skills work:

Example of post

Joe walked passed Bob and skillfully tried to take his wallet out from his back pocket ((Dice roll:57, success!))
He lightly bumped into Bob "Oh, sorry about that." he said as he passed, sliding the wallet out from Bob's pocket and into his hand as he concealed it into the sleeve of his shirt. He casually tucked his hands into his pockets and continued walking as if it never happened.

Use double parentheses to tell what you rolled in the dice log. Whenever we do something out of character we post in double parentheses, so keep that in mind if you ever want to make small comments within your posts.
If you fail a roll in your post you CANNOT roll again within the same post. If you fail you have to wait for either the admin or another player to reply before rolling again.

*Important Note*: If you fail at a skill roll, re-rolling within the same post for a higher number will give you a warning.


- That ends the "Life in Osiris" rules for the site. Please read the "Battle rules" below to learn how to fight in game. -

~BASIC COMBAT~

(This is for reference. You may read this later when you start the game.)

Combat Rules for PVP and saving the world!

When you start a battle, the player who initiates the fight will be the player who attacks first. Because of this rule, battles can start any and everywhere without warning.
IF YOUR CHARACTER DIES, THEY STAY DEAD!

Words have power, and as a result, based on what you type will determine how you damage your enemy. Describe what you want to happen and where you are attacking, and then use the below Battle Sheet information to determine how much damage you deal to your opponent or how your character will receive damage. 

All battles take place in rounds. Every round will be broken down into two turns- an offensive turn and a defensive turn. The round will end after all combatants posts, and the next round will start with the player that initiated the battle. We normally play so that all players have an order for when they attack (Bob starts, Joe goes next, Sally ends,etc).

If multiple targets all attack you at one time, lets say three enemies all hitting one player, that player will only be able to dodge the attack of one target at a time, unless they use a skill to do otherwise. Players will also only be able to attack one target at a time, unless they use a skill to do otherwise. 

COMBAT IN SIMPLE TERMS

I'll sum battles up to make it really simple. Whoever rolls the higher number on the dice log will be the person who successfully attacks or evades. The player that rolls the lower number will be the player that fails the action and takes damage. The objective of the game is to use your skills to boost your dice rolls up higher than your opponent's to always deal out damage without receiving any.

The combat round is set up like this:
1. Attacker uses the Dice Log for basic accuracy.
2. If you have a weapon, look at the weapons stats for Accuracy (ACY)

3. Attacker uses the Battle Sheet to determine range and ACY and adds or subtracts both numbers with the weapon stats,

4. Defender uses Dice log to roll for Evasion (EVS),

5. If the Defender EVS roll is lower, they will take damage, if it is higher, they dodge the attack and take no damage.

In really simple terms:

Roll dice+/-weapon distance stats+/-battle sheet distance= total accuracy.



Then we proceed to add weapon damage+battle sheet damage= total damage.

Damage stats (ATK) and Armor stats (DEF) are based on your equipment that you are currently using.
Simply use your words to describe which body part you attack. The below stats will affect your accuracy and damage. Equipping a weapon will also affect the below base states, so you simply add (or subtract) the numbers for your total accuracy and damage. After awhile you will memorize the base numbers and it all becomes quite easy.

Setting up your post for battle 

Just like when using life skills, you will use double parentheses for both your attack and defending rolls so that other players will know what you roll in the battle. You will also have to include your HP (Health points) in your post and SP (Special Points for sensitives). You will have to update this for almost every post you make while in battle, so it would be a good idea to keep a calculator and piece of paper nearby for fighting. Here is how you should set your post up for battle:



Example of post:

((Hero HP:120/120

Hero SP: 20/20

Magazine: 6/6 (For guns)

Accuracy roll: 50-10 (leg attack)=40

Evasion roll: 20+5=25))

--------------------------------------------------------------



Here is where the post should go. draw a line (like above ^) to separate the hero's stats from the post. You may choose to put your dice roll either at the very top or at the very bottom of your post in parentheses. If you are the attacker starting the fight, you don't have to add the evs roll numbers because no one is attacking you.

Read the Advanced rules for more complex information about combat. But don't worry, if you are new you can do that after you start the game!

~Battle Sheet!~

There is a quick button to bring you to this page at the top of the sidebar for future reference. Click here for the Basic Rules

Different weapons have a different effective range. If you are out of range your weapon will have a hard time hitting the target. The objective is to post that you move closer so that you can move within the effective attacking range. 

Check your weapon stats for details. The player's post will set up the range for attacking your opponent. If someone is standing on the roof of a building they will be farther than if you were talking to them face to face.  If the distance is too far, you will need to perform a series of agility rolls  (to run/fly) to help close the distance to get closer to your target. Hand to Hand combat will always require you to be at point blank range.  Please Click here for The Skills Reference List. 

Point blank- takes 0 posts to close the distance, you are standing face to face.
(talking distance)

Short - takes 1 post to close the distance, handguns are effective at this range.
(You are on opposite sides of a small room)

Medium - takes 2 posts to close the distance, assault rifles can fire from this range.
(You are across the street from each other)

Long - takes 3 posts to close the distance, think sniper rifles. Target is unaware and will not have an Evasion roll to defend themself.
(You are about two city blocks away)

Extreme - takes 4 posts to close the distance.
(your target is about a mile away)
