Resident Evil: Discussion Thread [Concluded]

Maybe it's the long rules post that puts people off. Not a comment on your rules-post, ATPG, it was clear and well-written, but I know when I see long swathes of regulations I usually end up playing with the scroll-wheel ("whee, look at how fast it goes"). To be honest, it's a testament to your skills at this sort of thing that I got this far at all.

Surely people will come eventually, they've got to. This looks like it'll be worth seeing from the inside.

By the way, Frozen In Ice isn't on the signup list: is that just because he hasn't made an account yet?

I no I do this usually, shamefully

However I assure you I did read every part of this, and its not easy given the amount you type

Fell through the cracks... he's added now.

And about the rules being long.... yeah. I know from a host perspective, you want to make sure the players understand the rules of the game as you envision it. The trouble is, when they see a wall of text to read the first impression is that there's not much fun ahead.

It's a real shame because once you understand the rules, the actual gameplay should be very simple and easy to manage. The main things you have to know are: to not break the communication rules, to remember to send in a (move/don't move) order, and if you move you must tell me what behavior you use when you get there (berserker/assassin/vigilante/stealth/search/cooperation etc) and always, when a battle happens, you gotta let me know... should you stay or should you go? You honestly don't need to understand all the little bits of info about the game as long as you remember this purple paragraph.

That's basic stuff. The rest is just informing you what the limits to the game are, what kind of options you have, background story and miscellaneous trivia, plus the Map and the FAQ section.
