Hello everybody, this is Goku, and here is the almighty rule book. It is not that complicated to read and understand, but it does require some brains to understand the rules. Its really not that hard to play, but I have set up special rules, and rules that are very important you should learn. This is a somewhat complex game(for me anyways!), and the ONLY way you can have fun is to actually know what the hell you're doing(and taking the time to read all of the rules)! So, without further a do, let me show you the book of the rules...
Oh yeah, if you have any questions, E-mail me and I will help you in any way possible. Thank you, and enjoy the show(uh)... _____________________________________________________________________________________________
Introduction
Well, I made this game because in the summer, I get VERY bored, and yes, also for you having fun! Isn't that the whole point of RPGs? A lot have lost their edge because they've dulled their game to a point where nobody can really stand, take example Dragon Ball: Fighters Circle. One of the most boring games on the face of this planet. Well, enough of that, I'm here to explain why I did this! I made this so there can be plenty of fun. Many out there are looking for "new and unique" ideas. Well heres one for ya, jerky. I've had a lot of ideas with my partner, Vegeta, and I put together this site and a handy dandy rule book that you can take wherever you want(not really). I PROMISE you this game will be kickass. I swear once you look through our whole site, ask the other members how its like, and read the rules, YOU WILL BE BLOWN OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND!!!!! I made this game closest to the real show. That means every pl number could mean life and death, the ki control with devastating results, and explosive, yet realistic speeds, and everything is about fighting and competition. I have incredible saga ideas, and sagas that I would like to try out. Well, thats it for this shitty ass Intro. Read the damn rules and don't forget 'em or break 'em! _____________________________________________________________________________________________
Pointers
How to Play
Here is where it gets important. Pay attention. As soon as you decide to train for the day, click and go into the Universe and hop on in! Pick a planet to train on. The starting planet is Earth, and the only way to go to other planets is by a spaceship or Instant Transmission/Bunkai Teleportation. When you get on the Earth chat page, pick a location. The only places accessible without my permission is: Earth Super Dome Arena(Where we meet for sagas and hold Tournaments), Mountains, Flatlands, Karrin's Tower, and Master Roshi's. The places that DO need permission is the Capsule Corp G-room Rental, The Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and Senzu Garden(You can fight and there are limitless Senzu). Ok, now in case someone tries to make you fight, you still have a choice to run away. I advise not to do so because if the challenger has my permission, he may steal money/items from you. Still, if you know for sure that you may not survive, try to avoid him or take the beating, and I will try to make the game still enjoyable for you(trust me, if you die, its not the end of the world.) For an example fight, you can use This One. When you fight, you list the total damage calculated, and what attack you are doing. Take your time! You may need to pull out your calculator, or maybe you don't! You'll understand later on in the Rule Book. You may block and dodge once per round(5 turns each), but for beginners(and those with low pls) can only do each twice. I'll govern how many times based on your speed and PL. There may be as many people as you wish in a single fight.
Alright, time to talk about training. Its a lot like sparring/fighting, but you do it on your own. Don't understand? Well, you can train on your own, this time you don't have a time limit. I'll explain after I talk about the stats system.
Sparring. Its like a fight(a friendly one) where you cannot die, and you cannot be knocked out. You may have up to 4 people in one Spar.
Ok, PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION. I will not repeat it twice, so if you need to read it again, scroll back up(lol). Now, let me explain to you the three groups of stats.
First, there's Speed(SP), which governs your dodging and blocking ability, and sets how must faster, or slower one fighter can be.
The next is Chi(KI I like to call it). If you ever played ANY rpg (Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Final Fantasy) then you would know what MP is. It means magic points, and it the very well same applies to Ki. You can use as much MP as you want with whatever your rating is. Like, if your ki level is at 300, then you may use as much ki as you want until 300. Let me explain. When you want to use an attack, however much ki you use and put into the blast, that will be the damage(with whatever extra multiple). You only have a limited supply of ki, but can be easily replenished by senzu. You may control the blast to be extremely strong(with all your ki) or extremely weak(with very little ki. You may NOT use more than half of it in a single blast(nor in a single turn). Punching and kick does not require ki drain(KD). KD is Ki drain, and X-Ki is the multiplication of the ki put into the blast. For example, say the Kamehameha has a x3 next to it. That means whatever ki you put into it(no more than half), the damage is tripled. Ki is VERY important in this game, and you better not waste it! Try not to make too big of blasts because Androids can absorb it, people may dodge or block, or turn it against you, so be careful! Fights require a lot of chemistry and strategy, so don't be stupid! You may control your ki, making it seem lower, but not higher. What I mean is you can conceal your ki, and as you conceal it, your ki temporarily drops as well as your powerlevel(to fool challengers). This is why you don't give away your password or pl. It will spoil the fun(trust me, its more fun when nobody knows who's stronger and who's not). Everything(PL and odds of winning) depends on your ki level! Build it, and everything else will grow with it.
Finally, we have PowerLevel(PL). This is your HP, or overall health. Its the damage you can take, and its what keeps you alive. When you take damage, your pl drops with it(not your ki and speed though, just pl). Actually, your powerlevel is your ki level multiplied by 4, and added with your speed, so you can always know your powerlevel either by checking your member page or just keeping track of your ki and speed. Always be prepared when you're in a fight, because pl is still very important. It determines what attacks you get, and your average, altogther, overall power, and your standings in this game. But don't get cocky, even if you do have a massive powerlevel, if you don't have any strategies, prepared or if you just don't know how to fight, someone a little half your power could easily take you out(well, it would take him some time). Try to be careful and think on your feet!
How to use the Chats...
If you've never played Chat room RPGS, or RPGS altogether, you go on the planet, choose a destination, and then sign on as yourfighterDB-ET. For example, mine is GokuDB-ET. Its not a permenant Sign up, so don't worry. Oh yeah, when you fight, train, or spar, or do anything, treat the game like 3rd person. Whenever you type, your name pops up and displays your message. Well, follow up with the name like "GokuDB-ET: lands and begins to fire ki blasts". Get it? Got it? Good.
How to learn an Attack...
When you train, you can also train for an attack. However long it takes, you will have to remain in the chat and paying whatever time it requires to master the attack. PLEASE don't train for an attack you can't learn! Do one that is within your requirements, or you will be fired right on the spot! I might give you a warning, but thats about it. You are allowed only to learn attacks within your limit, so don't pull any bullshit(eugh...)
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Currency in this game is... you guessed it! ZENI! Whatever the HELL zeni is, its money, and have to have money! Well, you start out with A LOT. Zz 1,000 smackaroos! Its enough, for now. But you'll need more. Read on about the Classifieds.
CLASSIFIEDS
You can buy, sell, or trade any unwanted items right here! Whether its your shitty Dragon Ball Radar, or your old training clothes, nothing beats the Classifieds. You can also find job openings to earn more money. For jobs like Item maker, you might need some special parts to make ships, new armors, and customs swords, so the Classifieds Junkyard is the place to buy, sell, or trade your goods! Same with Shop owners, put up your shops on the Classifieds so you can make business.
Spar, Train, Fight.
Like I said, You have a total of 3(well, 4 if you include attack training) things you can do here. Spar, Train, Fight. Here is a chart for the gained ki when you fight(depending on powerlevel)
BOY THAT WAS LONG! Well, don't look shocked. Like I said, PL is actually 4x your ki plus your speed. So whatever ki you see gained, multiply that by 4 and that will be your pl gained(not even adding speed). If the ki gained is too low, its realistic, and this is only for EARTH. Try going into Gravity rooms and other planets, and you will be gaining much much more ki and pl. Whenever your spar, train, fight, or learn any new attacks, you MUST copy it down and e-mail it to me or Vegeta(prolly me most likely), and I'll update it within the day. You ALWAYS earn 3,000 bucks when you KILL someone, regardless of pl or ki. Whenever you fight, you take turns, back and forth, with up to 5 physical attacks, and 2 Ki attacks in one turn each player. Try to let other players have enough time to post their attack, but if it takes WAAAY too long( i mean more than 5 minutes), then you can go ahead and take his turn, and if he does not responds after ALL that time, then you may proceed to taking another turn, then the turn after that, and so on. You may only steal from a dead body only if I say so. Finishers are the only ways to kill someone, or use quick death moves. On spars, only use Finishers to end the spar early.
If you are Battle Locked, then you are FORCED to battle. You have no option to leave the fight nor the area, unless you sacrifice half your money and the challenger can freely pick an item to steal of his choice(I will limit it though).
Then depending on your personality, you will go to Heaven or Hell. In Heaven, with my permission you may train with King Kai and learn techniques(which does have requirements) and in hell you train with Janemba and learn Techniques(which does have requirements. The Time spent in Heaven and Hell are 7 days, total. If you fight in heaven and die again, you are sent to hell for another 3 days. If you fight in hell and die again, you are sent to Stone Jail where only your friends can bail you out by wishing with the dragon balls; other than that, there is absolutely no escape, and you can't train, spar, or fight. Sparring is no problem, nor is Training. But beware, if you die, then you will face the consequences. _____________________________________________________________________________________________
THATS ABOUT IT!! Phew that was long, but I hope you will enjoy this game as much as me! Happy gaming!
