A few more notes and such..... PLEASE READ

After some thought about the volume of pming required for this game I have decided to cut out a whole step....Players will now at day start pm their direction choice directly to a mod, there will be no direction descriptions, you just pm left, right or straight. You will have the map to tell you where you are.

This game is all about your choices and decisions. Please read every scenario VERY carefully, you should then already have a plan forming in your brain about what your character would do in that situation.....use this forming plan to advise you on what questions to ask. You must ask all 3 questions in one pm, you may not change your questions once they are sent. remember....clever well thought out questions will help you greatly in each scenario you encounter. Pretend as if you are your character standing in their spot, your questions will be like you observing your surrounding from where you stand.

Regarding nights: At night time, think of it as free time, you can post back and forth in RP style all you want, if you are bored and around that night you can just go nuts for all I care....do what you want, what would your character be doing? The nights will have no effect on your play the next day, so this is your time to play around. Players may at night share info on what they learned about their scenario during the day, as in what questions they asked. Players may be coming up to the same scenario as someone ahead of them. Players can lie...as I said night time is free time...If your character is shifty or a thief you may want to leave false hints for other players in your nightly posts. BE ADVISED: you may not lie during the day, you may omit things about what you asked but you must tell how you "defeated" your scenario.

Just think of it like this....you are molding that scenario even further with your questions, so any player that lands there after you, can see from your post and look for ways to help themselves by not asking about stuff that has already been asked about.

Days are quite strict, you must not lie!! you can tell your "story" the way you want, you do not need to share all the info about your questions, but you MUST tell in your post what was in your original scenario description.
