FFE: BATTLE ARENA I - The First Salvo

FINAL FANTASY EXPERIENCE

BATTLE ARENA I

INTRODUCTION:

BATTLE ARENA is a Hurt & Heal (H&H)-type, text-based RPG - You take control of your character and try to survive till the end with all the means possible, as allowed by the rules. This is a trimmed down Team Battle Arena (the one I originally planned to do) so members new to this game would be able to fully grasp and enjoy without making it a basic H&H. If this will be successful, then we can try the more complex Team Battle Arena. Enjoy!

OBJECTIVE:

The objective of the game is to best all your competitors and be the last man/lady standing.

1 - Enjoy. Be creative in describing your actions and in posting pictures.

2 - Every attack does 500 points of damage and every heal does 300 points of healing.

3 - Each particpiant can only attack or heal once per day. You cannot heal and attack both in one day (i.e. - NO splitting up the 500 points, for example attack X for 300 damage and heal Y for 200 HP.), unless you got an item or skill that will allow you to do so.

4 - The Max/Starting HP for each participant is 10000. Additional participants may be admitted even after the start of the game, but they have to register first in the registration thread. Their starting HP shall be the same as that with the lowest HP.

5 - Watch out for "" This indicates "fantasy goodies" such as Items, Summons and special attacks will be dropped by the fantasy ghost ( = me, Fantasy Gamer ) at random times throughout the duration of the game, along with specifics (i.e. - how much damage or heal it does, how many times or people can use it, etc.). Picking up fantasy goodies does not consume a turn.

6 - Status spells (detailed below) may be used by anyone, but will consume one turn.

7 - Please post the resulting HP of all the participants after you made an attack or heal, as well as the total fantasy gold (fg$) at the end of your post (as is shown in the template/example below). Let's not forget to also post the date and time we post because of the time zones. We will the Central US time 'coz most of you live there, but I have provided a little time conversion guide for those who live in Europe and Asia:

8 - Your attacks and/or heals description may be as original as you like, as long as you stay within the HP usage rule. Please feel free to include pictures or anything else, and above all, have fun!! 

9 - Each member will start with 500 gil, and can use it to buy items at FG's Shop, the "fantasy garage". You can gain more gil by obtaining some from one of fantasy ghost's drops = "fantasy goodies". Keep an eye on those ""

10 - You can create alliances (via PM) and gang up on one or more character to eliminate them, but be warned that in the end, everyone are competitors of each other. There will only be one winner in the end.

11 - The winner will be listed in our Champion's Roll list.

DAY 2... (July 04, 2010)

 No one has posted for Day 2 yet and it's almost half day.

Also, the fantasy ghost noticed that Jecht poisoned Vincent... He probably forgot to read the rules on Status Spells: poison effect ends every Sunday. Since July 4, 2010 is a Sunday, the effect of poison wears of on the same day it was casted.

TIP: Best day to cast poison is every Monday to maximize its effect. If left uncured, it will deal 700 damage for the whole week exclusive of the other attacks on the other days of the week.

Finally, it seems like we are not clear on how to state the time of our post. WE WILL FOLLOW THE EQUIVALENT OF OUR RESPECTIVE TIME IN CENTRAL US TIME as what I have provided in the chart in the rules section.

You see, Vincent posted at 5:20 pm, then next, Cecil posted at 3:22 pm?? We need to be uniform guys, else we would be confused later.
