Ok.... don't worry. This isn't a Mafia Game.

But, you do seem to like to vote on possibly life and death situations....

So let's see if we will survive this. I don't know how it ends so I can vote too. My vote is no better than anyone else's cos I don't know what's going to happen.

You will now see a giant wall of text that explains how this game works. 

TLDR: Skip to the last Story Post and vote for your choice using the Reactions.

1. Cup/Thanks

2. Happy face

3. Sad face

4. Burning Sword

5. Bela Horse

I'll swing by and check the votes once a day ish. Feel free to lobby other players and chat about what's happening.

Do keep an eye on your Health and Elemental Power levels though. Sometimea, you will need to rest.

Title: The Fivefold Path

Introduction: Legends spoke of the Sacred Grove, hidden deep within the heart of the ancient forest. It was said that those who found their way there were destined for greatness, chosen by the elements themselves. For years, you had trained in secret, feeling the pulse of magic within you, but never knowing your true purpose—until now.

A vision had called you forth, whispering of an age-old prophecy. The world teetered on the edge of chaos, and only one attuned to the five elements could restore balance. Guided by intuition and the unseen forces, you journeyed for days, overcoming treacherous terrain and strange omens, until at last, you stood within the hallowed grove.

You awaken in a sacred grove, the air tingling with energy. The ancient Order of Elements has called upon you, one of the few born with the gift to wield elemental magic. Before you lies a grand stone altar, upon which five glowing crystals rest. Each represents one of the five elements: Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and Spirit.

A robed figure, the Guardian of Balance, steps forward. "The world is on the brink of chaos, and only an Elemental Champion can restore harmony. Choose your first path wisely, for it will shape your destiny. Your ultimate goal is to locate the Heart of the Elements, a legendary artifact hidden deep within the world. Only by uniting all five elements and claiming the Heart can you defeat the growing darkness that threatens to consume all."

As a gift to aid you in your journey, the Guardian of Balance grants you three Magical Revive Stones. If you fall in battle, a stone will restore you to life with 50% of your current HP and EP, returning you to the last safe location. Additionally, you will keep all items in your inventory at the time of your death. Use them wisely, for they are rare and precious.

Current Status:

• HP (Health Points): 20 / 20 (Max HP increases as you progress)

• EP (Element Points): 10 / 10 (Max EP increases as you progress)

• Elemental Strength Levels:

  • Air: Level 1

  • Water: Level 1

  • Fire: Level 1

  • Earth: Level 1

  • Spirit: Level 1

• Inventory:

  • Basic Adventurer Kit (Includes: a small knife, flint and steel, rope, a waterskin, a map of the known lands, and a bedroll)

  • Rations (3 packs) (Each restores 5 HP)

  • Magical Revive Stones (3) (Brings you back to life with 50% HP and EP, returning you to the last safe location upon death, while keeping all items)

• Spell Book: [No spells learned yet]

Day and Night Cycle: Your journey follows the natural cycle of day and night. Some events, creatures, and magical effects may vary depending on the time of day. Certain areas may be safer or more dangerous during specific times, and some spells may be more potent at night or dawn.

Gameplay Note: Always update all stats after a choice, including HP, EP, inventory, and the spell book. Then display the results again.

Resting System: You must rest periodically to recover your strength. There are two types of rests:

• Short Rest: A brief break that restores up to 50% of missing HP and EP.

• Long Rest: A full night's rest that fully restores HP and EP.

Resting may require a safe location or camp setup, and some areas may not allow rest due to dangers or environmental factors.

Health System: Your journey will be perilous, and your survival is not guaranteed. You begin with 20 Health Points (HP), but as you progress and grow stronger, your maximum HP will increase. Certain actions will either restore or reduce your HP:

• Making wise choices or using defensive magic may restore HP.

• Taking risks, engaging in battle, or failing a challenge may decrease HP.

• If your HP reaches 0, your journey ends in defeat—unless you have a Magical Revive Stone.

• Completing significant milestones may grant permanent HP increases.

Stay vigilant, and choose your actions wisely.

Elemental Strength and Energy System: As an Elemental Champion, you have proficiency in each of the five elements. However, your strength in each element starts at Level 1. As you progress, your choices and actions will increase your proficiency in specific elements, allowing you to unlock more powerful spells and abilities.

• Elemental Strength Levels: You gain experience in an element by using its magic in battle, solving puzzles, or making choices that align with its nature.

• Element Points (EP): You have a limited pool of Element Points that you can use to cast spells. Each spell costs a certain number of EP.

• Regeneration: EP regenerates over time, but using too much too quickly may leave you vulnerable. You can also find special artifacts, rest at sanctuaries, or complete quests to restore EP more quickly.

• Max EP Increases: As you grow stronger and master elemental magic, your maximum EP will increase, allowing you to cast more powerful spells and sustain magic for longer durations.

Master your elements wisely, for the balance of power will determine your success.

Item Collection System: Throughout your journey, you will discover useful objects and artifacts that can aid you in battle, exploration, and survival. Some items may enhance your elemental abilities, while others provide healing or special buffs.

• Consumables: Potions, enchanted scrolls, or food that restore HP or EP.

• Artifacts: Rare objects that grant unique abilities or stat boosts.

• Weapons & Tools: Elementally infused weapons or utility items to assist in combat or puzzle-solving.

• Keys & Quest Items: Objects required to progress through locked areas or complete story-driven objectives.

Managing your inventory wisely will be key to your survival and success.

Spell Book System: As you learn spells from each element, they will be recorded in your Spell Book. You can use spells during encounters, puzzles, or battles, as long as you have enough Element Points (EP). Some spells may require multiple elements, and others may unlock hidden paths or special advantages.

Choose Your Path:

1. Choose the Air Crystal: Gain agility and mastery over wind magic.

2. Choose the Water Crystal: Develop healing and control over tides.

3. Choose the Fire Crystal: Harness flames and destructive power.

4. Choose the Earth Crystal: Attain endurance and stone manipulation.

5. Choose the Spirit Crystal: Strengthen telepathy and unseen energies.

What will you choose?

Something is not stirring in Faerun. Rumours and whispers that prayers are going unanswered. Can you solve the mystery?

This will be a Limited Campaign of 10 episodes. That might be 10 sessions... maybe more, depending on how long people take to open doors.

Everyone will have a Level 5 character. At least one Level needs to be Cleric, so pick a God - any God.

I need  4 or 5 players.

I'm in the UK so Americans will probably need to get up a bit early? It will probably be on alternate Sundays (on the opposite week to Lily's game)

UK time... if we do 6pm to 10pm that would be like somewhere between a 10am start to 1pm start - depending on what coast you are on.

And I don't have a real laptop so expect very very basic map action lol

Ps... if we can get Don involved we will have access to more books but I have most of the main books, which players will get access to for character creation.

Standard Array or Point Buy for your levels please.

You may have 1 common or uncommon magic item.

Here is how it began....

CaddySedai: I used to walk ten miles from home to the local internet cafe in order to post every day on the 14.4k modem. 56k? Hah… you think we had Sean Connery money? No. We had 14.4k and we liked it. During winter it was in six to eight feet of snow - uphill both ways - and under that snow it was just nothing but broken glass and old razor blades.  Back then we didn’t have any shoes - you just walked so much the soles of our feet turned into leather. And you know what, we had fun. And we liked it. And we never complained. 

SinisterDeath: Man you were loaded! Back in my day, we trained pigeons to delivery binary code for our internet!

CaddySedai: Oh man...I would have to apologize then for any bandwidth drops.... You see I was so poor we often had to eat those pigeons just to save up enough money to be able to afford to even say the words AT&T.

SinisterDeath: You ate? F'in rich you were. If we weren't working 30 hours a day, we were lucky if we got rock soup for dinner!

CaddySedai: You had 30 hours to work in a day? What were you - made of money? I actually had to sell back all the hours in the day and only have about 1 minute 14 seconds left.

Skynet makes me nervous... but we could have another go?

Let's have some ideas of what kind of adventure we would like this time.

Any genre is ok. Doesn't have to be magic. We have to be PG 13 etc

I was thinking maybe stranded on a deserted mysterious island? But any other ideas are welcome.

One again it is Night in the Land of Games.

Reply below to choose your team

 Once we have a few players we can start guessing!

Each team will take it in turns to guess. Any player on the team can make the guess.

If anyone missed the sign ups for the current game and would like to step into the game, please post here.

I am actively requesting for someone to replace a player in the current Among Us game.

Please post here if you can do this

Thanks bunches x

Example:

1: "I wish to win the Lottery"
2: "Granted, you won $1. I wish I had the superpower of flight".

3: "Granted, but you achieve flight by expelling gas out of your rear...."

I wish I had a Million tax free dollars in my bank account.

The way the game works is you can either GIVE or TAKE a point from two characters until only one is standing. 

As an Example:

Aes Sedai - 5

Trolloc - 5

I will GIVE Aes Sedai and TAKE from the Trolloc, changing their points to:

Aes Sedai - 6 (+1)

Trolloc - 4 (-1)

And the last standing from the following list WINS!! 

Rules:

1. No Double Posting (Someone has to post after you before you can change their points again). 
2. You can only GIVE or TAKE from two in a single post. 
3. (There is a Bonus to who wins, but that’s a prize told at the end!)
4. When I think of more I’ll post here!

LET’S START WITH SEASON 1 CHARACTERS! 😄

Rand al'Thor - 5

Mat Cauthon - 5

Perrin Aybara - 5

Egwene al'Vere - 5

Nynaeve al'Meara - 5

Rules to follow when playing:

Players:

1.HeavyHalfMoonBlade

This Game is relatively simple in terms of the GAME, but there are rules!!

You count the number of posts as you post, Much like Blast from the Past in Fiddlesticks. Only, you are playing for a TEAM! And by team, I mean ORG. White Tower, Black Tower, etc.

BUT here is the CATCH... we're counting ORG points, and you can SWITCH UP who you are posting for so long as you are a member of that ORG. (EI, I can post for White Tower, Black Tower, and SG. Not the Band, etc. Because that is where I am a member.)

How it works:

First ORG Starts:

(WT) - 1

(WT) Arie  - 1

So next poster would go

(WT) - 1

(SG) - 1

(SG) Second Poster- 1

(WT) Arie - 1

The third poster goes

(WT) - 1

(SG) - 2 ^{(we're counting the total)}

(SG) Third poster - 1

(SG Their handle - 1

(WT) Arie - 1

If I post again I'd go

(WT) - 1

(BT) - 1

(SG) - 2

(WT) Arie - 1

(BT) Arie - 1

(SG) Third poster - 1

(SG) Their handle - 1

Keep the list of posters and their points numerically sorted, each time you post you can add one point to your count (no double posting or spamming?). You can post after anyone, so long as you are not posting after yourself.

It's a fun way to get to know who is where, but be careful!! 😄 ONLY that 100 TOTAL is going to count for the win!!

*wonders if this thread will actually last*

*wonders if anyone actually gets what I'm saying*

Example:

...

...

...

Lines strained at the mast

Player 1:

The grass was growing too tall too fast

The cow jumped over the moon

Player 2:

The cook ran way with the groom

The errand was taking so long

Player 3:

Five birds danced about to a song

Ghosts give me such a fright

Player 4:

I'm having a very good night

The tuxedo was easy to mend

...

...

I'll go first:

The rat was a king in his maze

This game has nothing to do with a real ban.

Thanks.

I'll start off.

Paul was banned for being alive!

Ok so what to do...oh how about a points counting tread

Keep the list of posters and their points numerically sorted, each time you post you can add one point to your count (no double posting or spamming?).

So first post I go

Liitha - 1

So next poster would go

Their handle - 1

Liitha - 1

Tird poster goes

Tird poster - 1

Their handle - 1

Liitha - 1

If i post again I'd go

Liitha - 2

Tird poster - 1

Their handle - 1

Write out your handle only pick the first word that comes up for each letter (as long as it don't break the site rules).

So I'll go first let's see what all odd combos we can get

Love I in think he and

make spam poem.

laugh uncontrollably.

@others I don't recall original names for!!!!!!

I was originally going to have a "What song are you listening to?" thread, but I decided it might be more humorous if it wasn't limited to music.

So, what are you listening to?  Sounds, noises, nothing?  Listening to a song?  Got one stuck in your head?

I had "Come Right Out and Say It" by Relient K stuck in my head earlier, and now I have "Broken" by Seether ft. Amy Lee.

But what I'm actually listening to is myself typing, the librarians chatting, and...that's it, really.

5:31 pm and i'm avoiding tedious work

So whatcha gonna do about it?

So, I'll be gone for about a week. The boss is giving me a week off paid, because he says I'm way too stressed out. Without going into details, he's right. Not that you could tell from the nonsense I post here, I guess. 8)

So, the good news is this; you don't have to hear from me for like 9 days. In the meantime, breathe in the air, enjoy it while it lasts, because I will be back. :twisted:

Take it easy in the meantime guys.
