Flash Flash Revolution

It's Saturday night, and you and your friends are finally free to go to the awesome new Laser Tag arena that has just opened in town. After paying a nominal fee, all of you get suited up, get your guns and are ready to go. Before you can play, however, the game manager enters and has a few words for you.

"Hello there. This will be a standard Team Elimination game, but with a twist. You all will be the lucky ones to try our new devices: the Deflector and the Laserbomb."

He hands each you what looks like a small plastic shield and a glowing rubber ball.

"You can activate the Deflector at any time. If anyone shoots at you while it's active, you can deflect it back to them! Be careful, though; if you have it on for too long and you're not deflecting anything, it'll zap you instead! Better use it wisely. The Laserbomb is a special weapon that can tag a player even if they have a Deflector, but watch out if they dodge it, 'cause it can bounce back to you! Okay, on to the game!"

With trigger fingers primed, the group sets out to pwn some faces.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So begins a game of Laser Tag, here in the game subforum. This game is based on a TWG related game called "Ready Aim Fire."

A forewarning to all: This game is more involved than any of the other forum games. It requires commitment and participation. If you are not used to these things, then this game is not for you.

THE GAME SETUP
For 6-20 players (preferably an even number)

@ Everyone in the game has A GUN, A DEFLECTOR, and A LASERBOMB.

@ Everyone is on a team with someone else. You, personally, will know which team you are on, but not who else is on it. At the beginning of the game, I will announce how many teams there are in the game and how many players in each, but not who is in the team. It will be up to you to figure out who is on your side. Good Luck!

------------------------------------------------------------

The game will take place in rounds. Each round lasts 24 hours.

Each round, a player may choose to perform one of the following actions by Private Messaging me their choice. You may choose to:

- SHOOT someone with the gun. If they are attacking someone else or scoping out, they will die. If they are running, they have a 50% chance of dying. If they are using a deflector, the shot goes back to you and you die.
- USE DEFLECTOR to deflect shots. If anyone shoots you, they will die and you will be saved. However, if you use it and nobody shoots you, you will die instead.
- USE LASERBOMB on someone. This is a gamble. If you throw the laserbomb at someone, there is a 50% chance that it will kill them outright (even if they are using a deflector), but also a 50% chance that they dodge it and it bounces back to you, killing you (unless your target is scoping someone out, in which case it is a guaranteed kill). However, if you throw it at a member of your team and have it "kill" them, they will instead recognize its color and return it safely. That team member will then gain the right to perform 2 actions next round.
- SCOPE OUT a player. You will be told what team the player is on and what they did that round. However, by doing this you open yourself up to laserbomb and gun attacks (they will be 100% effective on you.)
- RUN. Simply flee for your life without taking an action. Gun attacks will only be 50% effective on you while running.
- DO NOTHING. This is the default. If you fail to send in an action because you're lazy you will “choose” this action, but it can also be chosen manually, if you wish. If anyone attacks you, you die, but if not, you live.

After every round I will update the thread and detail who died, and then move to the next round. In the event that everyone dies, the round will start over.

Last team standing wins, no matter how many of you there are. If the game drags on for too long I may impose a round limit, and the team with the most players at game’s end wins.

This game is not necessarily for “playing nice.” Lies and deceit can give you the upper-hand. You can say that you’re going to do anything or that you’re on any team, but only you and I will really know. However, lies can be found out with careful action and investigation, and this can also be a tool to help your team win the game. Use these to your advantage!

Laser Tag Rules!!!!

General:
1) Being respectful isn’t exactly the law, so I won’t make it a rule here. Act how you want, but keep in mind that there are forum rules that punish flaming, and if you get banned or the players are clearly repulsed by your behavior, you'll need to be replaced. Try to behave, children.
2) Do not quote, forward, or otherwise spread any private communications or PMs with/from me, such as: Role PMs, night actions, etc. If you do, I’ll have to pimp slap you. And by “pimp slap” I mean kick you out of the game. Paraphrasing or indirectly referencing said PMs (for claiming a team or something) is OK.
3) If you have any questions, just PM me about them. Refrain from posting them in the thread. You might reveal something that you shouldn't.
4) Do not discuss this game outside of this thread or the Private Messaging system. This includes real-life. There is a possibility of account sharing and information exchange that could compromise the game.

Activity and Replacement:
5) You are expected to be an active participant in the game, so consider your schedule before signing up. If you fail to send in an Action PM for 2 rounds in a row, then I will send you a warning PM. If you miss more rounds you will be replaced.
6) If you will have limited or no access to the game for more than a day, PM me or tell me in the thread.

Actions and Deadlines:
10) All action PMs must be in the format of "I want to <take whatever action> against <whatever player>."
11) Once you have died and your death is announced, you are out of the game and may no longer post in the thread or PM other players concerning the game. You may still continue to watch the game.

Miscellaneous:
12) I’m running this game, so I am in control. I reserve the right to refuse admittance to players that I feel are not capable of playing this game, or do not take it seriously. People like that ruin the fun! Please read the game and be sure you understand what's going on before you sign up. If you can't grasp the game, don't sign up. Seats in the audience are free; make some popcorn and enjoy the show.
13) I’m sure these rules are not free of loopholes, so if you feel that I have made a mistake, please let me know. A fair game is a fun game.
14) I reserve the right to add rules if necessary.
