OMETOTCHTLI

[soulping]

[When the game starts you find yourselves on a platform. At least this part is pretty relaxing as it's large enough to fit a table with six (or seven) chairs around and that may be the place you want to sit at for now. There's several pieces of parchment laying on the table and a box in the center.

Of course, if you were careful you might want to pay attention to what's before you. Because immediately after the platform is a slide that ends in a pit of water? That turns into a dark forest. In what looks like a mile across is another large platform, presumably the end. Though that's all you can see right now.]

QUESTIONS

[soulping]

There will be a slip of paper for each member of the team. On this one each member will need to answer three questions. You cannot converse about these answers among each other. Somehow, it also feels like you don't have long to answer these ones.
Can you trust those you're with?
Who is the person you dislike the most within your team?
What do you think makes up your team?

There also seems to be another slip of paper once those ones are finished. This one is for your team as whole to answer.
Who are your biggest competitors?
You can choose three of ten items. Choose wisely! The might be able to help you when the time comes:
a rope, a sword, a mirror, a paracute, a shield, a book, a grappling hook, a tent, a fruit, a torch (seemingly magically lighted)

OOC: As a note, all questions must be answered honestly! No matter what the will feel the compulsion to sa what's on their mind. The only ones this might really effect is the competitors question because all others will be unsaid to each other. Even if you look at someone else's paper you won't be able to see what they wrote!

What should we pick. . . what seems practical?

[scratches his head]

He didn't really give us much to go on. . . might be good to have a weapon just in case. I'd rather have a gun than a sword. . .

Re: DISCUSSION

[assimilation]

So we could take a weapon, some light. . . and perhaps, something else? Or we could get rid of the light.

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

It's a pretty big group of items that we're only allowed to take a few of so I don't think anything is absolutely needed to win, but you're right that we should pick carefully.

I don't know...

What sort of fruit would it be?

Private Questions

[assimilation]

1. Yes. Of course. Why would I not?
2. No one. There is no one on my team I dislike. You are rude for asking me this.
3. We are not very good at winning, but we try our hardest. That is what I think.

Re: SUBMIT

[horsefacing]

1. That sounds like a question to make us start wondering if we can trust each other. Screw you, that's manipulative, and I trust my teammates.
2. Another stupid question, I don't dislike anyone on my team.
3. That even in this fucked up place we stick together and don't let stuff get to us.

Re: SUBMIT

[trailofblood]

1. It's my team, of course I can trust them.
2. Try asking me that about the other teams.
3. Even if we get fucked over, we've got each other's backs.

[perspire]

1. Yeah, I trust them
2. There's no one I dislike.
3. People who try hard with what they have.

TEAM ANSWER

[trailofblood]

1. Alcatr Aletr the new team

ROUND ONE

[soulping]

You will find on your table the three items you've chosen as well as a bracelet. The papers have disappered as have the chairs. Once you pick up the items the table, too, will disappear leaving just your team and the slide before you.
Pressing the button will allow you to effectively "pause" the course. This can only be used to go back to the main field and talk to other teams. It can work for one member or all of your teammates. You can easily leave and return with this method. Talking to other teams will not give you a penalty if you choose to use this. (This can also account for members of the team coming and going with player availability)

You can also quit at any time! If you wish to quit all you have to say is Osmar's name and it will end the game for you. Asking to quit will not penalize you, but if you end early that means your out of at leas one win type.
For now, you can just slide down. There's nothing more to do here.

But once you're in the water it seems to be wider than you thought! It gets deeper quickly, too, and the torrent is rough. You're fine in the shallow end, but maybe you should find another way across?

To the left is a small cliff. It doesn't look bad to climb up and maybe it will give you a better idea of if you want to go into the river or not.

To the right is what seems to be an empty part of the field. A few steps in will show that there's patches of mud where you seem to sink. Not quite quick-sand, but you might want to take a moment to consider your options.

Or you can just go forward. You won't drown, but you might end up way more off course than you thought.

[When you submit please answer with which way you go and a method you choose to use against this part of the course!]

--The cliff might be best.

Re: DISCUSSION

[trailofblood]

I agree.

[i can't swim]

Re: DISCUSSION

[horsefacing]

We have the torch so it would be better to avoid the water. The cliff sounds good to me.

[ TO THE CLIFF ]

ROUND TWO

[soulping]

Once you're on top of the cliff, you can see that you can cross over by skipping over the rocks. But there's a bit an issue here. There seems to be jumping trout?

Unless you're really agile you might fall in and... down a waterfall?!

But on the other side is definitely where you want to be. You can see the practice dummies from here.

... Should we risk it?

The fish seem angry... or something. Do you think any of the items will help?
