Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Guess I should have asked this, but due to the game being one that's updated daily and in chunks and is not free-flow decision-making, do you have any rules on and/or decisions? Are we allowed to make multiple decisions in one move? I gave you 3 decisions in and/or sequence but highlighted "Go through said door" in the case those actions were illegible if there were too many actions.

edit: you also stated that:

Your action is valid, so I'm going to wait until tonight to tell the next event. The actions I've answered did not qualify as progress in the game, so I thought it would be unfair to count those as actions.

does this mean all three actions were valid because you didn't return any info on any of them, or am I missing something, like them being in order. They weren't really observing and exploring actions imo they were grab n' go actions >_> just confirming

You theoretically could both examine both the apartment and go through a door in the same turn, but it would most likely be pointless to you because you wouldn't stay to see the results in case anything was suspicious. You must perform all of your actions that you list on the same turn.

However, once you enter a room, you are only allowed to examine one thing (if you wish) and move in the same turn. Nevertheless, you may perform other actions besides examining an object and traveling in the same turn, but other actions are less likely to be beneficial in general.

All of your actions for this turn were valid, although this doesn't necessarily mean that valid actions will always work out. Invalid actions are actions that would never work in any given situation, (like brute force or jogging in place to improve your stamina.)

You are allowed to change or rephrase your actions for tonight if you would like.

Please tell me if you want any clarification in my response!

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Guest15937 turns the doorknob and heads through the ancient-looking stone door. The door slams shut behind him with a boom, and Guest is transported to what appears to be a huge stone platform. Guest slowly looks up and lets out a small scream! He is standing on a colossal stone golem that must be at least one mile high and half a mile long! Upon closer inspection, Guest appears to be standing on the edge of its right arm. The golem seems to be sleeping; it hasn't moved since he arrived. Guest anxiously moves his arms down to his sides when he realizes there's a brown, sturdy rope made of straw in his left pocket. As Guest looks around, the scenery reveals a clear, blue sky and grass below him stretching endlessly in all directions. Guest thinks to himself, "what have I gotten myself into..."

MracY opens the doorknob of the colorful, plastic door, and the first thing he wonders is whether he stepped inside or outside the door. The plastic door disappears behind him, and he finds himself in the middle of an amusement park! He slowly takes in his surroundings and sees a partly cloudy sky overlooking a variety of different rides and roller coasters all around him. To the north of him, MracY sees a huge roller coaster with dangerous fire hoops throughout the ride and a man-eating tiger on a platform near it. To his left, he sees a small airplane ride with all sorts of colors on each plane. To his right, he spots a magnificent, one-hundred foot tall Ferris wheel with twenty-or-so gondolas attached to its center. Behind him, he sees bumper cars resting on a flat, black circuit with plenty of passengers and a short line of people gathered near the entrance. Somehow, it seems like the bumper car ride is the only ride where people are located. MracY wonders what he should do first.

Meanwhile, Omeganitros inspects the shapes of the light blue, plastic door that automatically shut itself after MracY left. He gently touches the colorful shapes on the door, and he notices that they are all engraved on the plastic door.

Snowcrafta looks upward to the ceiling, but unfortunately, the roof is not on fire...

gold stinger tries to collect samples of the vine behind room 104, and he succeeds! He pockets a small number of vines in his pocket. Gold also attempts to retrieve the door plaques from each room, but they are mounted on the wall above each door. Lastly, he opens the vine-covered door and enters the domain to reveal a clear sky with the sun shining overhead. Surrounding him, Gold finds tall, green grass in all directions. Which direction should Gold head towards?

DarkManticoreX2 searches the entire first floor for something interesting. At first, he can't find anything of interest, but upon further observation, he finds a miniature bomb hiding under a loose floorboard to his left. There is also a small lighter with only a little flame left.

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

pull some of the grass and pocket it, making sure that at least some of the grass being pocketed still have their roots.

pocket dirt

pocket extra dirt in my mouth

pull more grass, head north, and leave some grass behind on the ground as a trail to find my way back.

I'm examining the dirt's taste stop laughing internally at my methods.

Nice thinking, I hadn't thought of that.

Also, LOL. I can't wait for tomorrow night when I have the pleasure of describing what soil tastes like.

Have you ever ate dirt?

No, so I'll have to make something up. LOL

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Look for any scratches large enough for the minibomb to sit in comfortably and put the bomb in. (If none follow step 2, if there is a spot large enough ignore step 2)

Plant the minibomb next to the door with no handle.

Light fuse.

Run to the other side of the room.

It tastes like a cross between chocolate pudding and brownie.

edit: I knew these character cards would be extremely useful.

To be sure, would you also like to enter room 101 in the same turn?

Re: Rumor of the Gemstones: Exploration Edition

Yes

Also Inspect lighter for any remaining fuel

Does this mean we will often have instances where it is beneficial to randomly search without any foreshadowing as to whether there is something there, or is this a case unique to the starting area? Or was the foreshadowing normally to be given later in the game?

It doesn't really matter, although it might be redundant to have people always 'move and search' when moving through a new area.

This instance where DarkManticore searched the entire room is only allowed in the apartment. Once you enter a room, you may only inspect one object per turn, move in one direction, and if you would like, try other unrelated actions. There will usually be a foreshadowing to hidden objects and clues when someone gets close, but players will generally have to find the clues themselves. Inspecting one random object at a time, however, is allowed.
