.:War Side Story Help:.

Postby Thunder » 08/03/2015 9:48 PM

Feel free to ask any questions you have about the Mysterious Monster side story here!

PART I

Can I RP with someone not involved in the war?
Unfortunately users not involved in the war cannot see the war RP area, so they cannot roleplay in it.

Do all my RPs count towards BP and prizes?
Yes! Every RP you link to in the main thread will works towards event rewards.

If I'm RPing with a partner, do we both have to link to the RP/announce our partnership in the main thread?
Nope. Only one of you needs to link the RP and there's no need to declare that you're RPing together.

Are there restrictions on what pets I can use to RP?
Nope! You can use any character, just like with regular war RPs.

PART II

Can I fight the monster alongside a partner?
Unfortunately, no. All battles against the monster must be one on one.

Why are so many of the monster's stats unknown?
I have purposefully left these stats undecided for now because they will be highly determined by how many users participate, as well as what kinds of pets users choose to fight with. I don't want the event to run on for too long, nor do I want taking down the monster to be too easy, so I will after a few battles, I will make these stats whatever numbers I feel are reasonable. At the moment, though, I can say that Level, AP, Offense, and Precision won't matter at all since the monster will only be using Deathly Jaws (20% chance to instantly KO opponent, but does nothing if it misses). Defense and Endurance are the only stats you'll have to worry about.

A question, Thunder: Will the postcount be weighted differently depending on Self RP/RP with others? It's totally fair that a RP with more people will get more BP for every reply because of waiting time, but what about the prizes? If only the top investigator gets an extra barrack slot, aren't people who RP with others at a disadvantage then? Just asking - I do get that the fact that we may make more than one RP basically means that everyone can have their own RP(s) and group RP(s) and therefore it is actually fair. I was just wondering because there's a system in place that makes BP distribution fair but seemingly not postcounts.



I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls






However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

I also wanted to clarify that question, Thunder, regarding RPing with people not in the war. Wouldn't that be, like, impossible? Given only people involved in the war have access to the war areas? xD

EDIT: Also, I had a few questions of my own:

1) You said in the main topic, "Investigators are permitted to carry out multiple roleplays at once, though no bonuses will be awarded for doing so." Does this mean we will only gain BP for one designated roleplay, and no BP for the rest? Or do we earn BP in every roleplay we do? I'm not sure what you mean by "bonuses."

2) If we are not the instigator of a topic, but are participating as a partner in a roleplay, do both partners have to post the roleplay in the thread, or just the one who instigated it? For example, if me and Bob started a roleplay together for the topic, and Bob posts the RP topic in the Monster Hunting topic, do I also need to post it to make sure it's known that I'm the partner? Or is it just for the sake of keeping track?



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

Another question (though it might be obvious): Are we allowed to use only our war pets (the ones we have in the barracks) for the investigation or can we have other pets in the RP? I'm a bit unsure since "accepting all capable individuals regardless of allegiance" could mean both? Or is this just English failing me and it's actually obvious?

Whoa, I totally thought I made a post here earlier but I guess not xD;

Shieba: I didn't implement a distribution system like that for the post counts because you're allowed to submit as many RPs as you like for the event. If one of your RPs is going slow, you can always go focus on another one. You're also allowed to use any character, not just the ones in your barracks ovo

Zap: Kyrit actually reminded me of that earlier today xD I totally forgot that people not involved in the war can't even see the war area, so I've fixed that error. As for your questions:

1) You earn BP and posts towards prizes for every RP you submit. I apologize if the wording was weird; I had meant that you don't get anything special from starting multiple RPs. But they all count, yes.

2) Only one user needs to post the RP link. There's no need to announce that you're someone's partner, either.

If we have multiple RPs, do we need to post multiple entry posts in the thread? Or can we simply edit our first one?

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!



A great adventure!

If someone has Spiked Body, will they be able to deal a last bit of damage to the monster when they get knocked out? Similarly, will someone with Diehard be able to make a final attack after being hit by Deathly Jaws?

Gray, I am afraid that I cannot answer your questions; that is Thunder's area.

Meesh, you can join the war at any time, as long as it is still going on. In order to do so, you must purchase a war badge from this shop, and indicate if you want a Purine or an Imperial War Badge. Then you must display the badge in your forum signature, once it arrives.

Perfect Toxic, thanks! If I may ask one more question, in the actual board it says once you pick a badge you can have up to three pets in the war barracks. Does this badge also allow you to sign in three pets, or is it one badge per pet?

Thanks!

It's 3 pets per badge. :)

They can be any of your pets that you choose, but you can't switch them once you've chosen and registered the three in the designated area (which you'll see once you obtain your badge and are officially entered into the war).

However, there are designated time periods during the war when you're allowed to switch out one of your pets for another.

I don't think I counted Spiked Body for Zap's turn, so it won't do anything. As for Diehard, I didn't count Stubborn Ferocity for yours and those two traits are similar, so I'm going to say no to Diehard as well.

for the monster fight, can we register again with a different pet? (I thought I had 5 days for some reason lol, sorry about that )

Yup, you may after the current queue has cleared! You can also try again with the same pet :> There's no restrictions for who you use as long as the pet is in your barracks.
