The Cell- Test Game [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Game Rules and Information:

• You will tell me where to go, and what to do.
• I will keep track of your inventory and health.
• You might need to engage in combat. If so, tell me what to do beforehand.
• If you need to enter commands during battle, there may be a delay and you may take damage or die.
• You are allowed to discuss with the spectators and get ideas for what to do.
• You are allowed to resign and allow someone else to pick up from where you left off.
• You are granted three chances to win the game. If you die three times, you're done.
• When you enter a room I will describe it to you. However, you may not be aware of everything that is in the room.
• You can examine objects, walls, floors, or ceilings.
• If you try to solve the game by examining everything, bad things will happen.

Objective: Get through the game without dying, or with as few deaths as possible.
Secondary Objective: Get through the game with as few players as the Prisoner as possible.


Participants:

Game Moderator: Me. I'll be participating by designing the game, keeping track of everything, and telling you what happens. Like a dungeon master.
The Prisoner: This is the currently active player. You are given three chances to escape. If you fail, it is game over for you.
Spectators: (who may take over for the current Prisoner if he dies)

• The first Prisoner will be determined by random.org from the first 5 people to sign up who wish to be a prisoner, rather than a spectator.
• You can sign up just to be a spectator, if you wish.
• Additional spectators will be given a chance to play as well, beyond their role as an adviser.

This is a test game. Because I have never hosted a game like this before, I'd like to work out the kinks before I do a real game with more levels, items, puzzles, and players. Feedback is welcome, because I may have to adjust the difficulty. Let's get things started!

[Double A]

Sounds fun!

I'm in.

[Skooma Addict]

In. Hello there Double A. If only I could be the warden.

[Beefy187]

In as a spectator

[Double A]

In. Hello there Double A. If only I could be the warden.

I'm going to go with "compliment."

[civplayah]

I'm not usually in to snakes and foxes, but when I don't sign up for one, I usually regret it, so I'll spectate.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Just to be clear this game will be quite different from Snakes and Foxes; nothing like it in fact, if I am not mistaken.

Think of it more like one of those text-based adventure games. Except instead of an annoying computer that doesn't accept any word besides "quaff" for drink, I am still semi-human and your words will usually compute.

[Splitpersonality]

Put me in chains bossman

[Seon]

Put me in chains too! Lock me up! I killed her with my own hands! I'm guilty!

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

IN!

Player 1- "The Prisoner", Splitpersonality.
Starting Health Points: 4
Current "Examine" count: 0

Inventory: Nothing in your pockets, and your clothes do not count as items.

• You wake up in a jail cell, 10 feet by 10 feet. The room that the cell is in is 20 feet by 20 feet.
• You don't have a compass, so you don't know which way is north for sure, but for the purposes of your own spatial orientation, you assume that your cell is in the northwest corner of the room.
• There is no food or water in your cell. You feel weak. You have not seen the guard for some time.
• There is a door in the southeast corner of your cell, but it is locked.
• You can only see out of the east side of your cell, as the south side is blocked by a wall.
• There is a desk just outside your cell to the east.

What do you do?

[Double A]

Do a barrel roll!

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

A-la "mspaintadventures", I'd recommend that you find a pair of arms.

No, seriously, alert the guard and then strangle him through the cell bars.

[Seon]

*put on IF glasses*


Suggested actions...

verbose mode activate

examine desk, perhaps? It might contain something useful, or we might get a clue from it's decription.

Ah yes. The desk's outside the cell...

Examine the cell bars. Perhaps there is a weakness to it. Same goes for the door.

Alternatively we can try calling a guard's attention by making a lot of ruckus. But we may not exactly want to do that

[Double A]

Check to see if you're thin enough to slip through the bars, get the key ring from the desk, and GTFO.

[Seon]

So, Monsieur AA, how do you know that these...

Keyrings...

Exist anyways?

[civplayah]

After seeing the first update, may I play?

[Askthepizzaguy]

After seeing the first update, may I play?

Yes, you can be a spectator for now and if/when Split dies your name can be considered for the next play through.

Name added to the "player" list.

PREPARE FOR TROUBLE

[Double A]

AND MAKE IT DOUBLE.

So, Monsieur AA, how do you know that these...

Keyrings...

Exist anyways?

Cause I have cheat codes.

[Askthepizzaguy]

It's too bad the org was down, Split was on yesterday the whole time I was online. We could have been done his turn by now.

[Double A]

Is he on TWC?

[Askthepizzaguy]

He's not on at all, presently.

[Beefy187]

Make sure that jail guards are present.
Call out to them to make sure its not jail riot or fire or something.

[Splitpersonality]

Look out the eastern side of the cell, examine what is outside.

Player 1- "The Prisoner", Splitpersonality.
Starting Health Points: 4
Current "Examine" count: 1

Inventory: Nothing in your pockets, and your clothes do not count as items.

Look out the eastern side of the cell, examine what is outside.

Out the east side of the cell you see the desk is within reach, and there's a pile of guard uniforms on the desk. There's nothing else on the desk.

[Splitpersonality]

Examine my cell door, specifically the locking mechanism. Determine if it can be broken by brute force or if it is jammed or whatnot.


Then check to see if I can't just push the door open.

The cell door is locked and very sturdy. It cannot be broken by force, but it does not appear jammed.

You cannot push it open.

[Splitpersonality]

Attempt to reach through bars to grab at the desk/uniforms on the desk.

If I can grab them, quietly sift through the pockets looking for any items of interest.
