Really want to get into this game, but I struggle to understand this big mess of random

Hey there! I'll tell you all you need to know. This game is basically a roleplay and forum game mixed into one, so I understand your pain. But I'll try to sort it all out.

Right now, the Godmodder is at his last legs. He only has 2 HP out of 125. Once he got to 10 HP, the players could only damage the Godmodder by completing a set of challenges called the Trials. Right now, the players are on the Fifth Trial.

The Godmodder has built a gigantic tower at spawn, destroying the ruins of a tree that once grew there. Once the players got inside, they split up into two groups: Team Excelsior and Team Excavate. Team Excelsior's job is to get to the top of the tower and take the Key that the Godmodder has locked up. The Key was downloaded onto the server by Mojang. If the players get their hands on it, the virus the Godmodder has made will be broken, and every Minecraft player can leave the server! The Key is being guarded by a gigantic mime monster called the Bleak. Kill the Bleak, and the Key is yours.

Team Excavate's job is to go underneath the tower and awaken the roots of the ancient tree that once grew at spawn, called Yggdrasil. If its roots are awakened, the power they unleash could destroy the tower for good! The players went down an elevator to the bottom and fought off monsters along the way. They're now at the bottom, and have to fight a group of Pyros called the Legion of Pyronus to get to the roots!

Although the game is almost over, it's never too late to join! The other players have given you some useful advice. Make sure you read the OP and familiarize yourself with the rules before you play for real. If you have any questions, PM me and I will try to answer them.

Castle Defense, Day Three

Phew, this one took a while to program, but I finally have bosses in. I'm going to work on more events right now, but eventually, I would like to make the bosses with custom moves (not very difficult, but time consuming). I currently have three different bosses. I also want to have champions to fight, like duels in hunger games, but with randomly generated enemies, and the possibility of multiple players

Preparation Round:

Defense Round:

Boss Battle:

In the end, I believe this team is pretty wimpy

>Loses 14 HP, gains 10 HP right after, GAME OVERS

I'm sorry, i don't speak rigged.

You should try to get more players in besides all about 7 of them. We have 32 players right now (33 including soon-to-join Gamelord), it's not like there's not a whole lot of variety. Also custom event dearth makes it a bit dull. Check our Pre-Talist HG suggestions, we have a metric ton of them you can sort from and add to:

I hate getting nerfed.

Anyone heard of the game No Man's Sky? Basically, it's a virtual universe made into a game, currently in development. There are literally around 18 quintillion planets, meaning that for all purposes, the game is effectively infinite. And each planet is different... The possibilities are endless.

This is mainly because it posts in turns, boss and then the team. The castle gained 10 HP, but it had less than 5 HP to keep it alive.

Yea, at first I wanted people just to post to join, but I think I will just add people and a few entities.

I might use those just to get more ideas, although I would have to write them in my programs own format (a little less efficient than Talist).

Yes, I've heard of it. It looks really really cool.

Same here. It definitely looks like a SWEET game.

It does seem cool, but it also seems overly ambitious.

Pretty much what Ire said.

Did you really think I would stop with dear, sweet, precious jhon?

(Player1) jumped into a sword! YOU IDIOT! {30i, then 40s}

(Player1) jumped into a sword, but it did nothing. (Strength pass, intelligence fail)

(Player1) did not jump into a sword. {Intelligence pass}

Yay, multiple ending events.

Um... sorry, but that's not how they really work... Although, that is another thing I should add to my to do list. Currently, Mashup events do not allow for an or situation within a single player. So, its either pass all of the checks or fail. I'll give the formatting for a Mashup event...

(num) (initial text) {checks}

(path1 selector) (path 1 text) {path 1 results}

(path2 selector) (path 2 text) {path 2 results}

(path3 selector) (path 3 text) {path 3 results}

etc.

num is the number of possible paths the event can take. Initial text will always be printed. Then the checks are for each player involved (again, up to 6).

The Path X selectors are a series of +, -, or = signs. Its kinda complicated, but I'll do my best to explain it. Each selector should have a number of characters equal to the number of players involved. The first character corresponds to player1, the second to player2, and so on. A + means that in order for the program to pick this path, the corresponding player must pass their check. A - means the corresponding player must fail their check in order for this path to be taken. And an = means it doesn't matter whether the player passes or fails the check. If none of the paths match the results, then the program picks the first one. Here's a simple example...

2 (Player1) encountered some technical books. {50i}

+ And (Player1) learned how to build a mech! {20e}

- And (Player1) was completely confused. {-5i}

So here, if they pass the 50 intelligence check, it takes the first path and they gain 20 entites. If they fail it, it takes the 2nd path and they lose 5 int. Here's a more complex example involving multiple players.

3 (Player1) and (Player2) tried to build a mech. {50i}/{50i}

++ And they managed it! {20e}/{20e}

-= But (Player1) ruined it. {-5s -5i}/{-5i}

=- But (Player2) ruined it. {-5i}/{-5s -5i}

Does that make any logical sense?

plz gutza

Maximum health is currently set at 200, but at the end of each day, every player has their hp go towards 100 by 5. I can change all of those values very easily.

I want to do something super complicated, but I'm not going to. Yet. I need to wait to have enough time to do an event with 64 different outcomes... Actually. You know what, I'll let other people help out with it, below.

Also, talist, would it be possible to at some point just post all of the current events so that everything that might conceivably turn out different due to skill or stats so that they can be turned into checks with multiple outcomes?

Additionally, the mashup events mean that a 1player event can now have two different outcomes without death, right?

64 A large, extremely complicated plan was put together with (Player1) on resource collection, (Player2) on planning, (Player3) on lookout, (Player4) on monster-slaying, (Player5) as the linchpin and (Player6) as morale support. {40a}/{40i}/{40d}/{40s}/{35s 35d 35i 35a 35e}/{40e}

Every possible combination of successes and failures will result in a different outcome. Every time I post until the event is finished will have anything that someone has added to possible outcomes (including me). Once it is finished, we will have the ultimate mashup event. Outcome progress: 0/64

Erelye... what the heck are you thinking? Listen, from what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that you don't want to use the Comb Rave since you won't be able to post for a while.

What the heck.

Listen, you're dealing a lot of damage with this rave, and this trial is already going for too long. So use the Rave and end it!

EDIT: Why is my red text not working?

Oh my... *gulp* eh... I... eh... the limit for the number of paths might uh... be 9... because I didn't think anyone would actually make that many paths... But okay... it shouldn't be too hard for me to update it to allow for more than that and have... 64 paths... I just need to change how it parces the String and have it use an IndexOf method. That didn't make any sense to anyone who doesn't know java.

Well, I better help with this... It will be easier if we did this in order...

------ The plan was a miserable failure. (Player1) found nothing of value, (Player2) scribbled inane drawings, (Player3) warned the group about the wind, (Player4) was overrun by monsters, and (Player5) and (Player6) tripped and fell down a pit. Then everything exploded. {-15a 50h}/{-10i -10e 40h}/{-5i -15e 45h}/{100h}/{-10d 40h}/{-10d 40h}

Whatever his reasons not to rave are, they are his reasons, and it is his choice to make. There is a time to rave, and a time not to rave, and now, it seems, is not the time. I for one shall respect his decision. Strong men stand up for themselves, stronger men stand up for their friends, but only the strongest men can stand up AGAINST their friends.

Have a few Mash-Up events.

(There's a chance I may have mixed up the healing values; if this occurs, please fix it. Could you also add some damage effects to events that involve injuries; i.e. my event where you get hit by an arrow, but live.

2 (Player1) encountered attempted to bandage his wounds! {55i}

+ And (Player1) successfully fixed himself up! {15h}

- And (Player1) injured himself further! {-15h}

4 (Player1) attempted to ambush (Player2)! {50s 50d 50i}/{70i}

-- (Player1) tripped and fell before reaching (Player2), who didn't notice a thing! {-2s -2d}/{-1i}

-+ (Player1) made too much noise and was noticed by (Player2), who proceeded to attack his assailant! {-30h}/{6i}

+- (Player1) successfully ambushed (Player2) and dealt a painful blow! {4s 2d 5i}/{-75h}
++ (Player1) almost made the attack work, but (Player2) noticed and fled into the woods! {2i}/{2d 2i}

2 (Player1) was confronted by a pack of mutants! {60s 60d}
+ (Player1) destroyed every single last one of them! {7s 7d 3a}
- (Player1) was beaten up, and had his entities and gear destroyed... {-5s -5d -10e -10a -40h}

... You're right engie.
