Pre Game Show

If you were in the previous game show, you do not need to read all of this but I still suggest skimming thru it. For those who didn't play last time, you MUST read this.

Each day requires 1 response and 2 recommended responses.
The required response is that you answer the question of the day and PM me your answer
The 2 recommended responses are: 1. PM me of you you want to steal from or defend against and 2. Say in the thread of the day what items you may want to use, and on who; can also negotiate and trade others for items.

Here are the 2 recommended options you can do in a day (further explaned):

Stealing - Each day, you can PM me to choose who you want to steal from. You can choose to steal a ration, health potion or an energy drink (items discussed further below). If you don't want to steal, you can defend, if you defend you must decide who you want to defend against (you must specify a specific person). If that person tries to steal from you or your teamate, you ambush that person and you get one of their items of what they were trying to steal from you, if they dont have that item, you get one of their rations. However, if you choose to defend from one person, and someone else chooses to steal one of your items, since you have no defense against that person, they get one of your items they were stealing. Remember, if you choose to defend, you must specify who you want to defend against, and this option also defends your team mate. I look at PM's in order of being received, so if 2 different people go to steal an item (and are successful) from a specific person and that person only has 1 of that item both people want to steal, the first pm person gets the item and the 2nd person gets of their targets rations. I will not tell who steals from who, however, you may be able to figure it out since each day I will list the items each person owns from teh start of teh day.

Negotians and Using Items
The other commands you can do in a day are using items and negotiating with other members. Both of these commands take place in the thread of that game's day (and you can make more than 1 reply per thread). If you want to use one of your items, you say it in the thread, and if you want to use one of your items on someone else, you also say it in the thread; you can use more than 1 item per a day! You can also negotiate with another person in teh game, by trading with other players. If you want to trade with someone, you must say who you want to trade with and I want make the trade happen until after I see that other person agree. So if you want to trade one of your rations with a Medkit of another member, you must specify who you want to trade with (or if the offer is up for anyone, specify that) and the member must accept your offer than I make the trade; i wont display your current items until the begining of each day though. Also you can give an item to someone for free if you want, or for a favor (such as, being an ally for a few rounds).

Items
Now for the items; each member starts out with the following items:
Rations x 8
Medkit x 2
Energy Drink x 1

Medkit charges up your health all teh way, and Energy Drink charges your energy all the way. If you run out of health, you automatically die. YOUR HEALTH DO NOT START OVER ON EACH DAY, it will continue off from teh previous day. Energy is important because on some of teh days taht require stats, your response may require energy, and if you got none, you can't do the command.

Grenade - This item will be given out to whoever does the worst in a day without losing; if multiple people tie for doing the worse in a day, than this item gets awarded to whoever does the best in a day; if multiple people tie for best and worst, this item does not get handed out.
What it does is, if you choose to use this item on someone, I take that person's total health, divide that by 2, and that's how much damage it does to a person; very valuable item if you ever get it!

Rations - This is very important to understand:
Each day you will use up a ration (i'll be taking care of it, because you'll automatically use a ration every day anyway). If you run out of rations, you will die the following day and will be out of the game.


Teamate - This is also very important:
Even though this thread isn't of an actual game day, you must respond to the thread. Everyone is to pick a teammate, only 2 people per a team, and you may give your team a name if you want. The point of a teammate is that you have an alliance with him and he automatically is protecting you (as you are with him too). When your teammate dies, you get all of his items! Here's where the strateg is, it's good to have a stronger teamate because he protects you, however, if you have a weaker one, you'll get his items when he dies. STARTING ON DAY 5, THERE WILL BE NO MORE TEAMATE. Even though there are teamates, you can still make agreaments with other members.
REMEMBER, REPLY TO THIS THREAD TELLING ME WHO YOUR TEAMATE WILL BE, or discuss it (you can make more than 1 reply to this thread).


Here is the Map:

Here are the start and end times of each of the days (all based on central time zone - which is also the boards default time), as well as if they are based on skills or stats:

Day    -           Start      End

Day 1 - Skill - 10 pm wed - 9 pm thur

Day 2 - Stat  - 10 pm thur - 1 am sat

Day 3 - Skill - 2 am sat - 1 am sun

Day 4 - Stat  - 2 am sun (or noon sun) - 10:45 pm sun

Day 5 - ???   - 11:45 pm sun - 9 pm mon

Day 6 - ???   - 10 pm tue - 9 pm wed

Day 7 - ???   - 10 pm wed - 9 pm thur

Day 8 - ???   - 10 pm thur - 1 am sat

(note: the days of the weekend will be extended due to my busy weekend schedule; also, the start date of day 4 may depend on whether i go to church that morning or not)

Each day lasts roughly 24 hours, and if you dont make a response by that time, there's a good chance that you may be kicked out of the game.

I've already got sprites picked out for each person (they will be based off the last game show). Also, there can still be people entering after I make this thread, this thread is basically just for you all to read the rules and to choose your team. After Day 1 starts, that's when the real action begins.

Last Note: The days that are based on yoru stats, are based on teh stats that are viewed in your profile. Incase you didn't know, buying items in itemshop affects this. Anyways, your stats can change from day to day (like if you bought an item half way thru the game show, your stats that rose from that item would appear in teh following day), but, your health and energy limit will not change as teh game progresses, as soon as I gather up the energy and health stats for day 1, those are the stats you'll have to deal with for the rest of the game show, so if you're going to buy anything that affects health or energy, better do it before game show starts.

Any questions, post them in the discussion thread here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=2947

EDIT: Questions came up in a PM, so here they are answered:
Members can donate items to eachother for free if they want, you must say this as a reply to the post. Each day I will post the current members and their stats and items at the beggining of the day.
Rations are eaten at the begining of each day, after the stealing happens, by before I make the next day thread. This means, if your character goes to eat his ration for the day, and has none, he will die right than and there (severe starvation); this will all take place in between days. If you eat your last ration, better make plans on getting some more!

Day    -           Start      End

Day 1 - Skill - 10 pm wed - 9 pm thur

Day 2 - Stat  - 10 pm thur - 1 am sat

Day 3 - Skill - 2 am sat - 1 am sun

Day 4 - Stat  - 2 am sun (or noon sun) - 10:45 pm sun

Day 5 - ???   - 11:45 pm sun - 9 pm mon

We all got dropped off on to this island by our friend Cid (he wont be playing this round). It's just about night so everyone made their effort to make a fire and to set up a tent for the night. If only they knew what was ahead of them...

Day 1 will begin in a few hours.
