Zero Escape: VLDR - A Game of Two Halves
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2019 4:06 pm
United, we STAND.
[Game Rules]
1) Respect me and the other players. Please remember that this is just a game.
2) Role-playing is strongly encouraged but will not be enforced. Anything out of character or fourth wall breaking should go inside of brackets.
3) Roles exist in this game. Do not reference them in ways that break the fourth wall.
4) Do not go against your win condition. Exceptions may be granted for character reasons (meaning if you play the character over the role, I won't penalize you).
5) This game will take place entirely in Private Messages. If there are 5 people already in a room, you will not be allowed to enter, although the people inside will be informed that someone wants to enter. The thread will be used solely for the OP, game announcements, Jukebox updates and postgame chat.
6) The player list is hidden. Do not state that you are or are not in the game. Knowing the player list, or attempting to determine if someone is or is not in the game will result in a modkill or forcibly being replaced out.
7) This game is highly symbolic in nature and is not to be taken literally. There are things which will not make sense. Please suspend your disbelief.
8) Remember to have fun. If you aren't enjoying the game, please let me know. I'm always looking for ways to improve my games and hosting abilities.
[Attributes]
You may be adept or inept in some areas. Adept means the best of two rolls is taken. Inept means the worse of two rolls is taken.
Not every game in the series will use all 6 of these stats, but no game will use a stat outside of these six.
[Activity]
Do not join this game if you will not be active. Between Mondays and Thursdays actions will only be processed between 5:00 and 11:00 PM EST (unless stated otherwise). Weekend schedules will vary.
If you are inactive, I may act for you should the situation demand it. You may send me instructions for what to do in such an event at any time. I will try to play your character as you have been playing so far (meaning if you are avoiding conflict, you will run away if attacked, if you have been starting fights you will retaliate, etc). Do not complain about actions taken while you are inactive. Always remember that the alternative for if I take action for you would have been far worse than what actually happened.
[Inventory]
All players get 5 inventory slots plus a hidden slot. All items become visible on death or if you are searched while unconscious. Items that are part of a role do not count towards your limit. (You do not have more slots, but starting items are not counted if the player who started with them is holding them).
[Actions]
You may attempt any action you like. A D20 will be used to gauge success or failure in your actions. Creative actions are encouraged.
A roll of 20 is a guaranteed success for your action, and a roll of 1 is a guaranteed failure, unless a role's ability explicitly dictates otherwise.
All actions must be submitted via the bot's !add command. If you need help using the bot, ask me in your private channel, or use the !help command for a list of actions.
[Maps]
When you join, I will send you a link to a google spreadsheet. This will be your map. As you explore new areas, I will add them to your map.
I will also be adding room descriptions and character descriptions of people you have met in the spreadsheet so you can reference them at your convenience.
You will have edit permissions for if you wish to make notes on the map or on other in-game events. Please do not change the room names or alter the map. Don't be that guy.
[Joining Procedure]
Post !join in your private channel in the Game Discord Server. Signups open at 8:00 PM EST on October 22nd.
YOU MUST BE IN THE DISCORD SERVER IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE TO JOIN THE GAME!
[Lies and Deception]
I as the Game Host will lie to you during the course of the game to preserve the integrity of the lore, should the need demand it. I will never lie to you in your role card. The mechanics of this game are explicitly non-bastard in nature. Everything in this post is guaranteed to be true. Anything beyond this point may contain lies.

[Attributes]
- Code: Select all
Strength [STR]: Determines the power of your punches and how much you can lift.
Stealth [STL]: How sneaky you are and how capable you are at passing by unnoticed, stealing or planting items.
Constitution [CON]: How big of a build you have and how many hits you can take before you go down.
Willpower [WIL]: Affects how likely you are to die or only be unconscious when a fatal blow is dealt.
Accuracy [ACC]: How accurate you are. Is a strong factor in trying to stab or shoot other players.
Luck [LUC]: How lucky you are. A higher Luck stat means things of chance are more likely to go in your favour.
You may be adept or inept in some areas. Adept means the best of two rolls is taken. Inept means the worse of two rolls is taken.
Not every game in the series will use all 6 of these stats, but no game will use a stat outside of these six.
