TNDG 3.0 Rules and Mechanics
GAME RULES AND MECHANICS UPDATE: 7/12/2017
ADDED: Medbay Passes
PREMISE
This game is played in weekly cycles, with two IC days per week. Sat-Sun is one IC day, Mon-Fri is the other. Every week, the characters must vote on who they want to keep safe.
Over the weekends, characters engage in CR-building minigames. The round's votes will be distributed amongst the participants, with winners getting more votes than the other participants, and non-participants getting no votes at all.
This is a team based game. There are multiple teams, each one with a judge attached. The total amount of points earned by the contestants in each team decide who are the winning teams versus the losing teams. The losing teams are given less advantages over the next week, while the winning teams lives like kings.
ACTIVITY
It’s required that you 1) vote and 2) be here for at least one of the public posts each week. If you need to skip, let me know and I will work with you. If you disappear on me without warning, well… you just might be murdered!
It’s in your very best interests to participate in the mini games because that decides how the votes are distributed.
All active players must use their allocated votes each week.
ARRIVAL
Whatever your characters were doing, they suddenly feel dizzy. If they're lucky, they'll be able to sit down before they lose consciousness. When they awaken, they are in their own personal dressing room (see Settings). Characters arrive with whatever was on their person at the time. A pet may also be present in the dressing room. If said character, items, or pet had powers, they have now been nerfed, or at least limited in such a way that they are now ridiculous.
They are also given a small tablet that lets them look up character profiles and vote. It has an intuitive interface and will not break easily, even for the kind of person who loves spilling things and dropping electronics on the floor. Should a character manage to break their tablet, however, a replacement will be provided in their dressing room. You can also borrow another character's tablet! It will automatically log into the account of whoever's holding it and not give away a vote to anyone else.
As they get their bearings, a voice recording will explain:
1. The basic premise of the game
2. What prizes they stand to win
3. The fact that they are not to speak of their prize to anyone, and in fact if they try to do it nothing will come out.
4. The following voting mechanics:
VOTING MECHANICS
❃ All active players must make a vote each week
❃ A valid vote must name an active player
❃ You may NOT vote for yourself
❃ You may NOT vote for the same character twice in a row
❃ You may change your vote as many times as you please up until the deadline (though it is advised you plan your strategies well before that)
❃ If you have no vote, you don’t need to vote.
TEAM MECHANICS
❃ There are multiple teams.
❃ Teams compete against each other in some way in each minigame.
❃ The winning teams are allowed to vote for anyone on any sets of teams.
❃ The losing teams are only allowed to vote within the losing teams.
MEDBAY PASS MECHANICS
❃ A medbay pass cannot be bid on.
❃ A medbay pass is earned by contacting a mascot through the tablets or a screen and asking for it.
❃ They will inform you of the price you must pay: 'blood for blood, life for life'.
❃ A medbay pass takes a contestant to the medical bay for one full day, giving them medical analysis and full treatment.
❃ It can only be played on the weekend, and goes into effect on the next weekday.
❃ They are exempt from the voting round but any votes they've earned are redistributed.
❃ You can play this on yourself or someone else.
❃ When given, they are publicly announced.
HOTEL PASS MECHANICS
❃ A hotel pass automatically sends someone to the hotel.
❃ A hotel pass is used in the same place as the votes, except you note that you want to use your hotel pass instead.
❃ You can use it on any active character, including yourself.
❃ You earn a hotel pass by placing a successful anonymous bid through the tablets.
❃ Only characters with zero votes can bid on hotel passes.
❃ Bids must be given by Tuesday of each week.
❃ Hotel passes are given out on Thursday, and done so privately.
❃ The identities of those who possess the passes is never betrayed by the mascots, nor will what's been done to get them. It is up to those who own them to decide whether they want to reveal it for themselves.
VOTING RESULTS
❃ Whoever receives ZERO votes will be killed
❃ Whoever receives the MOST votes will receive their consolation prize and be sent to the hotel
❃ Whoever is hit with a HOTEL PASS also receives their consolation prize and goes to the hotel.
❃ Voting results will be provided, but the voters will remain anonymous
❃ The final five will win their grand prizes, at which point all living contestants will be returned to their home
The team mechanic stretches beyond voting itself. The winning teams each week are given more benefits than the losing teams. They are given more perks to life, such as access to the library and the garden set. The losing teams cannot cross into the special areas, by consequence of great penalty. The winning teams are fed grand amounts of food, while the losing teams aren't given enough. It goes on just like this.
MAKING A DEAL
❃ At any time, you can make a deal with a mascot to change your circumstances. Expect to pay a high price, however, because they don’t like changing things around…
❃ You can contact a mascot through your tablet. If you want to do so, contact Mandy to arrange a private thread.
DEATH MECHANICS
❃ Want to murder someone? It’s banned outside the hosts’ commands, though they will likely call on you to do so at some point or another. Of course, mayhem is another story. Nobody will miss a limb or two...
❃ When you die, you go to the hotel as a ghost and haunt it.
❃ Your worst fear is used against you as part of your death, in front of all our lovely viewers!
HOTEL MECHANICS
❃ Every week, the hotel will be given a mini scenario to rp off of in addition to the minigames.
❃ The hotel can watch the cameras and see everything that’s broadcasted from the main areas.
