What Is A CYOA?
A CYOA is a Choose Your Own Adventure. A CYOA usually depicts a sequence of events with different alternatives. I am using a Punishment System so you can be punished for choosing a certain action. Always consider logic, consider the best solution for something and make sure you read the mod information. Some solutions may seem good, but one will always be better, my advice would be to think about it as if you were actually in that position.
How is it going to work?
The game will play out by the form of Mod Information that will be posted frequently, the information I post will tell a story of sorts and will always be important to progress the game forward. How the story progresses is based on your actions however.
[collapse="Example"]You awaken and find yourself in a dark room. You are sitting upward it what seems to be a chair. You cannot see much and you can only hear what it seems like other people from a far distance. You try to move your arms but it seems that you have been tied to the chair. What do you want to do?[/collapse]
You will then be given time to talk about what you, as a group, wish to do. I will set a deadline on things and I will have people vote on taking an action, if you want to sumbit an action please bold any action you take. Don't be afraid to be specific, the more specific you are on your action the more easier it is on me and the more easier it is on you; please note not all actions needs to do be specific however.
[collapse="Example"]
Try and move my legs.[/collapse]
I will then confirm your action and post a response.
[collapse="Example"]You try to move your legs. Your legs are free to use and seem to not be tied, It seems that you can't do much else besides squrim them around a bit.[/collapse]
There will times where I will intervene to progress the story forward, this is something i'd to call Action Intervention. Action Intervention will happen when you progress forward enough to continue the sequence of the story.
[collapse="Example"]After squirming your legs around for a very long time, you hear the sound of a door opening and closing. A bright light is shun on your face and a man stares at you directly. He speaks to you. "Don't think we can't hear you trying to escape, you try and pull any funny business and you're good as dead. Sit here like a good prisoner and stay quiet." You catch a glimpse of what the man looks like, he is bald and has a round face, his expression looks fierce and full of contempt, kind of like a guy that you don't want to piss off. The man leaves and the door shuts behind you. You are still in the same position you were in 10 minutes ago. What do you want to do?[/collapse]
What is my part in all this?
You will be playing as one character in the story. I will send you a Role PM of what your character is.
[collapse="Example"]
"Zip zop boopity bop, Pudding pop ya see?"
You are Bill Cosby, African-American Actor
You are a famous actor and comedian in the era of 90's. You are known for your eccentric yet humorous style and generally likable attitude. You have no special attirbutes and are only here for the sake of a Role PM.
[/collapse]
You will control that persons actions alone but there will be situations where you may interact with other characters in the story.
[collapse="Example"]You make more noise and start squirming your legs. The same sequence of events plays out and the man doesn't look like he's in the mood to talk. He raises his hand and smacks you across the face. The force of the impact is so brutal that you are knocked sideways and your chair is tipped over with you. You hit your head on the hard ground. You are in physical pain.[/collapse]
This also includes monologue. Monologue will work the same as a regular action only that you are going to be interacting with another person in the story. Please confirm any monologue actions you wish to take by bolding and putting " " around the statement.
[collapse="Example"]"What...do you want with me?"[/collapse]
There will be times where there will be an action resolution and a action intervention in the same post, what this means is basically that you have progressed the story further but you are currently in a situation that has not played it's full course out.
[collapse="Example"]"We want you dead, but the boss says we have to keep you alive. I'd kill you right now If I was allowed to. He told us to keep you locked in here until he's ready to speak with you, until then you should really take my advice and shut the hell up."[/collapse]
You may then continue to take an action until I say otherwise or give you another situation to complete. Please let me know if this doesn't make any sense or that you are confused as to what to do.

What is the objective of this game?
The objectives will become more clear as the story progresses, the main thing you should focus on is survival. Once you die, there is no coming back and I want to make that clear that you lose if you die. If such a situation happens you will be removed from the game and no longer allowed to post. Think before you do. Please don't get yourself killed.
How will combat work?
There won't be that many situtations where you will be fighting, be if that situation does happen then it will work the same as any other action only that you need to think about what you're going to do first and how it's going to affect the person you are doing it to.
[collapse="Example"]Punch guard in the stomach.
You punch the guard in the stomach. The guard clenches his stomach for a moment and it seemed to do a bit of damage, he is currently unable to move for a short period of time. What do you want to do?[/collapse]
There will be moments where a player will act back, and you will be given a choice as to how you want to approach it. Please note that combat sections will be limited due to the unfair style they take (e.g stalling out a combat situation in real-time compared in-game time) It's not very realistic to punch someone 10 minutes after.
How will the MVP be rewarded?
I will be giving MVP points to players who are constantly active and making good decisions, people who are leading the game and giving their best to work out a problem, this also includes taking the best approach to something.
Be Active, Post Conscientiously, And Play Your Part.
Sounds Awesome! When is this going to start?
I plan to start this very very soon, actually. I need to write out a story and think about the punishment system a bit more but I plan to start either at the start of summer or early summer.
