Re: Resident Evil 2: STORY THREAD
OFFICIAL GAME RULES
SCORING SYSTEM FOR RESIDENT EVIL 2Spoiler Alert, click show to read:1. Observe all the Gameroom rules as posted in the Gameroom subforum. They are stickied for easy reference. The major thing that applies to this game is sportsmanship, because unlike most games, there are some aspects of the game I simply cannot police. I need you to be mature and not do things which break the game, as described here.
Please do not grumble about the outcome of the game, or any delays that may occur. Be a good sport!
2. PRIVATE COMMUNICATION outside the thread about the game, and PUBLIC discussion about the game is not allowed unless specified exactly by the game host.
No seriously, this is the biggest rule of them all. Most of you cannot communicate telepathically across a city, so unless you have an item which allows such communication, you cannot talk to your friends or enemies about the game in any way shape or form. You may mention the game in passing to a friend who is not playing if you wish, but do not divulge your current stats, weapons, location, or other sensitive personal information. You never know who your friend might tell that information to... and having your friend communicate this information to other players on purpose is an intentional rule break and it is not allowed, no exceptions.
If someone accidentally breaks this rule, please inform me immediately, and I'll send them a friendly warning. This is the best outcome for that situation. Otherwise, you're on the hook for this rule break as well.
ENFORCEMENT:
This particular rule is so important, that I need to be informed of any accidental rule breaks here immediately, to maintain the game balance. It is possible to keep playing, but there may be a penalty. Depending on the situation, I may have to release you from the game. However I value honesty and you may play other games of mine. Repeated or (In My Opinion) Intentional rule breaks will result in a ban from this and possibly future games.
3. Screenshots or quoting/full revealing your "Role PM" and any other message from the game host is banned.
However, you may tell people your name, your general objective, and what items or weapons you have, at your own peril. Just do not copy/paste my role PM, and do not ask anyone to reveal their role PM. Remember, the above rule (Number Two) still applies... you can't reveal anything to anyone you don't have contact with. (This means you need to have a method of communication, or you need to be in the same grid coordinate or you need to be in adjacent grid coordinates)
4. When you die
You can continue play as a zombie, provided you be a good sport. This is your best chance of scoring well if you die. The participation points and opportunities to score are quite real, and you can still have a wonderful time. If you don't want to be a zombie when you die let me know.
5. PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
I will allow for there being a public thread for commenting. However, the following is strictly enforced:
You are not to discuss any of the following-
1) Who you are in the game
2) Where you are in the game
3) What you plan on doing in the game
4) Reveal any game-related information that you have obtained during the game
What can you do?
A) Comment on how awesome the writeups are
B) Comment on how lousy the writeups are
C) Prod the game host to "GET ON WITH IT"
D) Ask a question to the game hosts which does not reveal private information.
E) Want to say something else? Get permission first, please.
6. Other rules
If I need to adjust the rules or aspects of the game, I as the host have the prerogative to do so. I will attempt to keep my hands off, but if I need to make a final balancing adjustment to the game or add or remove elements of the game, I reserve that right.
However, every change I make to the game (if any) will be logged and made public, with apologies that I did not do my job as a game designer and iron out any difficulties beforehand. If this change affects your character or your play in any way, you reserve the right to protest such an action, and you will get my sincere apologies. If I accidentally made your weapon too powerful, then I have learned my lesson for next time. However, if there is a major problem with the game (such as the LUCK stat being too powerful that it prevented normal combat) I may adjust its strength, globally, and announce that change. Other than that, I really have to leave the game as-is and hope for the best. Any change will be made in good faith and with the best interests of fairness and fun.
7. Phase length
The reality of this game is that my real life schedule will greatly impact when new rounds begin.
You will have a minimum of 3 days (72 hours) to send in Movement Phase orders.
You will have a minimum of 2 days (48 hours) to send in Interactive Phase orders.
You may attempt to send in missing orders after this deadline for an additional 24 hours, and I will attempt to carry out your wishes as best I can, however, if my hosting duties have already progressed too far to fully accept them, your orders will essentially be to either stand still and waste a turn, or arrive too late to your destination to do anything the following phase, depending on the severity of how your late orders would affect the outcome. That's why it behooves you to get your orders in on time.
Please note it may sometimes (or often) take longer than 24 hours to resolve your orders. Be patient, this game is more work than hosting 10 large complicated mafia games at once, or hosting 3 huge sized mish-mash games for you 2+2 types. I have a co-host and a backup co-host and this will still be more work than I can always handle within a 24 hour period.
I reserve the right to add a new rule here, if I need to do so I will announce it. Otherwise, just seven rules to worry about.

Team Ranking = highest Team score total/rating
Individual Ranking = highest Individual performance score/rating
Activity Ranking = highest Activity score/rating
===============================
Overall Ranking = OVERALL PERFORMANCE RATING
To determine overall ranking, use the following formula:
ACTIVITY RATING
Highest Activity Score = 100%
example: 50,000 was the highest score. That now represents 100%.
Therefore, multiply all Activity scores by 0.002 (The multiplier which causes the highest score to become a total of exactly 100) to determine Activity Rating of each player.
INDIVIDUAL RATING
Highest Individual Score = 100%
example: 50,000 was the highest score. That now represents 100%.
Therefore, multiply all Activity scores by 0.002 (The multiplier which causes the highest score to become a total of exactly 100) to determine Individual Rating of each player.
TEAM RATING
Highest Team Score = 100%
example: 50,000 was the highest score. That now represents 100%.
Therefore, multiply all Activity scores by 0.002 (The multiplier which causes the highest score to become a total of exactly 100) to determine Individual Rating of each player.
______________________________________________________
TEAM PERFORMANCE RATING (40%)
INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE RATING (40%)
ACTIVITY RATING (20%)
Activity Rating (x2) Individual Rating (x4) Team Rating (x4) [Divided by 10] = OVERALL PERFORMANCE RATING

2. Performance rating
FINAL RANKING
By overall performance rating, and will also show ranks for the 3 scoring categories just for your information. But only the final overall performance rating will count.
