Title: Clearer Pines: Spoilers, I ain't going to run out of Oldies.
Post by: ajwilli1 on May 24, 2015, 02:35:51 pm

You're sitting alone in a firewatch tower that rests on a tall hill that over looks a large pine forest. Outside the cracked and dirt layered windows you can see a oceans of trees, all shapes and sizes stretching for miles in all directions; with the smell of dust, pine, and freshly cut lumber hanging heavy inside your tower's low ceiling interiors.

You lean back in your blocky wooden chair, hoping that it'd help ease the pain in your lower back a little bit. Outside you can see that the Sun is rising to a new beautiful day in the wilderness, its punctuated by a Yankee's game statically coming through your radio.

In front of you is a desk, it contains a mess of papers most of them titled "Today's Work Orders", on the back-end on the left sits your small antenna radio it nosily blaring today's ballgame; in front of the radio is a small desk calender reading "June, 15th, 1953" with a brunette pin-up girl as the picture for 'June'. On the right of the desk is papers, pencils, and sketches of your recent events or things that have been going on in your "domain"; but most of the sketches are of leaves or animals.

Behind you is your living quarters: A hammock with a small end table right next to it, the end table has a lamp, alarm clock, and some books about the dangers of Communism sitting on the edge.

To your left is the narrow and cramped staircase that leads you down to ground level.

To your right is the "supply closet" (its more of a supply nook), things like MREs, canned goods, compasses, toilet paper, water tarps, and a hunting rifle with a few boxes of 308.s all carelessly tossed on top of each other.

Information:

I decided we should try one of these text forum games (that isn't RP) again, only this time making sure your character... now get this... has no character. The person you play as is basically all your self-projections, you can call it a he, she, xem, der, gir, or whatever pronoun you prefer; but it will always remain neutral.

Why? Because it fits with the theme of this game which is: You're nothing but a nameless pawn stuck somewhere in the western wilderness or some popular national forest (you can't really remember where at this point), your job is simple to report any suspicious activity to the Ranger station. What kind of activity? Soviet, Red, or anything that poses a danger to the security and safety of the America! But there's a catch like always to add some form of gimmick to a already gimmicky thing, you don't get supplies all that often, so you'll end up having to ration what you've got. Once you begin I'll give you a set number of supplies.

So think of Papers, Please meets The Long Dark. I didn't really know how to set this up, but I really wanted to do something about exploring a giant forest somewhere near California and Oregon.

So in order to start just post a command and I'll write a description.

Examples of Orders:

You can look, read, pick up, use, etc... the basic Text-Based Adventure game stuff.

He decides to remind himself what the Work Orders are for the day. Perhaps there was something he missed last time he had read them.

Post by: ajwilli1 on May 24, 2015, 05:56:32 pm

... you shuffle through the piles, sifting paper over paper, looking over dates until you find today's

SUCCESS! After a quick flip through several papers, and a few annoyed sighs you finally find today's orders. The paper is still warm off the printer and the stench of ink streams off the 'Times New Roman' typeface. You begin to read it intently...

Work Order for 'June, 15th, 1953'

You're to investigate Grid: [Alpha, X:-153, Y:32] There have been reports of strange sounds and whispers coming from the area, we have reasons to believe it might be a crashed Soviet Bomber of unknown make/model. If you find any of its crew alive, attempt to detain them. Only use lethal force if necessary.

Your reward in the next supply drop will be as follows: 3 packs of Akimbo Jones bubble gum, 2 rolls of Softush toilet paper, 1 pack of Experimental Water Purifying tablets, and 1 free coupon book that will be sent to any known relatives.

With that you quickly take inventory of what you have, open up your field manual titled, "AJ Brand Tutorial™" and start reading about needs which is presented in a cute diagram explaining everything that might be forth-wall breaking. Finally you look on the map and trace the given coordinates to somewhere close to you in the North West you might have to comb around the area and use the old hiking trails to find what you're looking for.

Prepare Accordingly...

Needs Tutorial: Your basic human functions and you (Title will be changed to just "Needs" once you leave the Tower)

DISCLAIMER: You don't actually need to read the tutorial, it mainly shows what "math" I'll be using to count how far the bars will deteriorate. And the description of what each bar does will still be there after the "tutorial".

Spoiler: Needs Tutorial (hover to show)

"The Bars" and you: [(When a bar is "full" it will look like a straight line: | ) (When a bar is "halfway" it will look slanted like this: / ) (And finally when a bar is empty it will look like this: - )

"What's a turn?" Its a post by a player, it doesn't matter how much you do or how little you do, if you posted an action it will count to the turn counter.

These are the bars you want to keep full at all times!
Hunger: |.|.|.|.| <---- [Max: 5 Bars] [Deterioration Rate: (Normal: Every 10 turns) (When Active (AKA: Running, Climbing, etc...): Every 5 Turns)] [Description: You want these bars to be full, when the bars are full that means you're full, when only two bars are left, that means your starving. When you're starving you start to lose energy and go into survival mode, eventually you weaken enough over time and die shortly after)

Thirst: |.|.|.|.| <---- [Max: 5 Bars] [Deterioration Rate: (Normal: Every 8 turns) (When Active (AKA: Running, Climbing, etc...): Every 5 Turns)] [Description: When full these bars mean you're hydrated, when they reach 3 bars you'll dehydrate and slowly start to wear out, overheat, and become prone to sickness before dying.)

Sleep: |.|.|.|.|<---- [Max: 5 Bars] [Deterioration Rate: (Normal: Every 25 turns) (When Active (AKA: Running, Climbing, etc...): Every 10 Turns)] [Description: When full it means you're fully rested, when fully rested you can preform more 'active' feats with a bonus roll to it. But once you reach 3 bars or lower you'll start to tire before eventually blacking out when you hit zero bars.)

Hygiene: |.|.|.|.|<---- [Max: 5 Bars] [Deterioration Rate: (When Outside: Every 25 turns) (When Indoors (AKA: Running, Climbing, etc...): Every 45 Turns)] [Description: When full it means you're clean as a whistle, when at 3 bars it means you could do with a quick shower, and when its empty it means you need a good scrubbing) [Special Rules: Soiling/Wetting yourself automatically puts your Hygiene to "zero" for obvious reasons. When your Hygiene gets near 3 bars I start rolling secretly (with a negative multiplier to the roll) to see if you catch a disease; however when your hygiene is at zero I double the roll that determines if you get sick or not. So try to stay clean!]

The bars you want to keep empty!

Bladder: -.-.-.-.- <---- [Max: 5 Bars] [Increase Rate: (Normal: Every 15 turns) (When Drinking: Adds 1 part of the bar)] [Description: When empty that means you don't have to relieve yourself, when halfway you'll need to relieve yourself, when full you'll just go on the spot no matter if the pants are on or not.)

Bowels: -.-.-.-.- <---- [Max: 5 Bars] [Increase Rate: (Normal: Every 35 turns) (When Eating: Adds 1 part of the bar)] [Description: When empty that means you don't have to relieve yourself, when halfway you'll need to relieve yourself, when full you'll just go on the spot no matter if the pants are on or not.) [Special Rules: Since I'm a bastard GM you'll need toilet paper to keep yourself clean, if you run out of rolls you'll use leaves... but if you're in a cave, I guess you could say you're "sh!t out of luck". This ties into the Hygiene Bar]

Fatigue: -.-.-.-.- <---- [Max: 5 Bars] [Description: This basically shows your stamina, when climbing, running, sprinting, or anything else that requires your body to work overtime it will fill up the Fatigue bar by 1 point. When you reach max fatigue your Hunger, Sleep, and Thirst meters will start decreasing by their "active" numbers (AKA: Hunger&Thirst decrease every 5, Sleep decreases every 10.

She checks the map once again, and guesses to the best of her ability how long it would take to travel the distance. With that in mind, she checks what time it is and makes a mental note of it.

... You check the map, tracing it with your finger from the tower over to the alleged "crash site" location

Spoiler: Rolled Dice (hover to show)

Checking Distance (http://orokos.com/roll/293183): 1d20 7

UNSURE! By guesstimating from what little knowledge of the real distance or its measurements, you think it might be a 3 to 5 hour hike all the way up to the grid that the crash is located in. That's not even accounting for how long you'll be sweeping the grid trying to find the damn plane.

... You take a quick peek at the alarm clock on the end table

6:30AM it reads in its bold red numbering, so you'll have almost all day to find out where this crash is. And by the time you'll reach the grid it'll be noon... that is if you don't get lost along the way.

If each turn is 5 minutes, that means we would go to 0 hunger in 4.16 hours.

Title: Re: Clearer Pines: Text-Based Survival Sim with Commie Hunting! [New Needs System!]
Post by: ajwilli1 on May 24, 2015, 08:59:14 pm

The new needs system in a nutshell:

Spoiler (hover to show)

Hunger, Sleep, and Thirst: Each "piece" of the bar is an hour, so when an hour passes the Bar will go through its stages. You don't start starving, become severely dehydrated, etc... until 1AM the next day if you go without anything for a full day. Once you reach 'Zero' on the Hunger bar, you get a two day grace period in a weakened state to find something to eat, you move slower and people could easily overpower you. Same goes with Thirst, only instead you have one more day to find a source of water. And finally for sleep you black out when you reach 1AM of the next day or earlier depending on what you've been doing and your current fatigue; if you go without sleep for a day your fatigue meter is "cut in half" so you tire out a lot easier.

Bathroom and Hygiene: Bladder goes up every 15 mins and if you keep your hydration up (AKA: drinking tons of water) it'll increase every 10 mins for a limited time [meaning the maximum is 4 hours 15 mins which seems reasonable]; you'll have a 30 minute grace period once the bar reaches maximum before the inevitable strikes. Bowels go up every 25 mins [Maximum is 6 hours 25 mins], eating filling foods will drop that to 15 minutes depending on how big the meal; you get an hour grace period before the inevitable hits. And Hygiene decreases every hour you're out in the wilderness, so you'll effectively become a mess by the time half the day is over.

I won't bore you with the math, but know that everything is basically on a time limit, when you're heading somewhere make sure to tell me if you're walking, jogging, sprinting, or running to the destination. Other then that I'm ready to do this.

[[Lucky for you time doesn't start till you leave the tower... unlucky for you all your stats will be rolled once you leave. But you won't be starving right as soon as you leave. I'll add plus and minus modifiers on what needs it (that way you don't go into go into severe-dehydration and piss yourself at the same time)]]

He takes a moment before finally heading after the Commies to sing the national anthem and give pledge to the flag. Certainly the trip will be rather long and rather difficult, and if faced with brain-dead Commies, it was a good idea to wash his mind over by pledging his allegiance to this great country through song.

"AMERICA!!!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK12S88FoFQ

...You tie the rope around your waist and slip some Fever Reducer into the pack... you wonder why its off-brand and just a plain white box, I mean even the cheap crap has some cheesy name with it.

...Before that though you take a compass and a roll of paper, I mean you're not a barbarian and you're not that **** into "roughing it"...

Humming a great nationalistic tune you make your way over to those narrow ladder-like steps that take you to the ground floor. Each time the boards creak as you apply your hands and feet you feet your stomach drop like a lead-commie balloon, and looking down those vertigo inducing heights is enough to make any mortal quiver like a caught Chinese Spy. But alas as your first footstep onto Clearer Pines soil (today anyway) you feel yourself coming back down to Earth (literally and figuratively), and with that your human needs awaken too!

Before you is a grand pine forest that stretches out from all angles, starting from your hill and ending at God knows where. Your whole tower is walled off by a chainlink fence, with a (locked) fence gate being the only way out of the area; there is also a dirt path that starts just outside the gate, a path that winding and twisting down the hill. Parked right next to the tower is a old 1952 Chevy that has no gas in it, still brand new, colored in primarily green with tan being the secondary color; a 'Parks&Rec' emblem is on the doors and hood of the truck.

Next to the gate is a small little generator house, and next to the generator is a wooden outhouse that you can smell from here. Above and all around you are tall pine trees that give your 'camp' a decent bit of shade and give it a great pine scent.

You feel a bit hungry, your stomach rumbling for some nutrients of an American-flavor

You mouth is a bit parched

You could use a restroom right about now

I immediately leave the confines of the towers fences, by climbing over the fence as I seem to not possess a key of any kind, and begin hunting for a rabbit, knowing that it would solve all of my current inconvenient human needs. Skinning the rabbit would allow me to use it as a pouch to defecate in, therefore leaving no trace of human waste for Commie SCUM to find, it's urine filled bladder could be used as an emergency source of water, but also much better used to play pranks on any Commie SCUM I happen to find and it's meat could be used to sustain myself, while it's blood could be smeared across my face, for fun.

You go running into the wilderness scrambling over the fence and running towards a rabbit. [You waste 28 Minutes doing so] (http://orokos.com/roll/296263) After running into a clear meadow right next to the trail you begin to look for traces of rabbit, after scowering the dirt for what feels like an eternity you come up with nothing but little foot prints that lead over a cliff. Poor, fluffy suicidal b@stard; if hadn't have went over he'd have made a fine patriot... that'd you'd have sh!t on... hrm... now that you think about it that's a good example of Capitalism- before you allow those evil soviet to take your mind, a sharp pain in your gut tells you that you should probably eat something soon and relieve yourself.

She checks her compass one more time, and begins the hike to the destination. She hums an American marching song and keeps her rifle close, in case of sudden communist attacks, as is characteristic of those slippery bastards.

You head back on the trail after you decided to chase after white rabbits (maybe they had clocks?), its peaceful out. The yellow sunrise is painting the sky a beautiful golden yellow that gives everything a nice golden tint to every tree, plant, and fluttering leaves that sail through the air like old WWII fighter planes. You must've run quite a ways down the hill because you can see the tips of the pines that used to be way below you; in the air you think you smell barbeque, might be campers or a fellow ranger nearby. Hopefully they don't freak out on you with your gun out, you're just exercising your 2nd Amendment rights.

Pace: [Walking] 5(?) Hours until you arrive at your destination

Your stomach is rumbling for food, shall you feed it?

All this walking is making you thirsty

Restroom Required (I couldn't think of anything funny, so fcuk you)

You devour a can of Spram and guzzle down an entire bottle of water as fast as you possibly can.
You attempt to find a large leaf to relieve yourself on and wrap it up, in case you need to throw it at COMMIE SCUM later, and also to ensure the COMMIE SCUM can't use it to clone you. You use some of your toilet paper
You continue to look for a rabbit, for the aforementioned purposes, as you make you way through the forest, towards the smell of the barbeque.

WE'LL SHOW THOSE COMMIE BASTARDS WHAT FOR!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W_ZwKPE3oA

You shove some Spram down your gullet. OH! Freedom Fries! It tastes like salty anus mixed with pig sweat. (http://orokos.com/roll/297103) You cringe as the last bit of Spram greasily slides down your throat, shuddering you pull out some water to wash the horrid taste away. Shortly after you go looking for a leaf to dump in, but you soon realize that you're in a pine forest, and that it probably isn't possible; but just to make you happy I'll roll for it, if you get over 15 you find a leaf.... sorry but you ain't in Nam' (http://orokos.com/roll/297104). You find a nice nice pine tree and expel your used up freedom on, and wipe the bits away with some toilet paper; congrats you shat in the woods, have an achievement.

Achievement Unlocked: [I AM FREEDOM BEAR]: You poo'd in the woods like a real Patriot

You once again go looking for rabbits, but fail to find any, not even anything of their existence. (http://orokos.com/roll/297106) Your mind begins to race now, your stomach sinks, maybe those Commie bastards exterminated all the rabbits. That means you would've failed your goal, that means no more rabbit farms for hard working patriots to work at, that means no more poo-pouches made from rabbit skin, you feel everything getting blurrier and blurrier. All you can smell is burnt ribs, sweet barbecue sauce, so sweet, so smokey.

Until you hear it that snaps you from your horrid hallucination. The sound... of a fine American!

"Dammit. Martha get the other set of prime rib, these burned again." Just from beyond the wall of bushes ahead of you, on the other side, fine American campers. Perhaps they'll help you on your quest to stop the communist threat! [[Hint: If anyone wants a remotely sane character, with remotely sane posts, then post something sane. If not this shit is going to get crazier and crazier until it borders on Metafiction.]]

Those "Americans" are probably COMMIE SPIES PRETENDING TO BE AMERICANS!
You stealthily position yourself in the bushes and take aim with your Hunting Rifle, attempting to gun the commie scum down before they even know you're there, maybe they're the ones who took all the rabbits away.

Then make poo-pouches from their skin after gunning them down.

Should you successfully gun them down you decide it's too risky to leave their bodies there as they are and you should attempt to make it look like a bear attack, should any other COMMIE SCUM find them then they'll never suspect anything and it'll strike the fear of the Great American Black Bear into them.

You cut the bodies up to look like a bear attack, shredding parts of it as best you can, but quickly realise how absolutely delicious it looks during it. You eat some.

[[Whelp I've rewritten the storyline... again... it went from a "subtle" commentary on Cold War Paranoia, the Red Scare, and American Xenophobia. Too... beating you over the head with it, congrats, this went from exploration and surviving in the woods and fighting commies; to Rambo First Blood meets Friday the 13th. I don't know whether to be p!ssed or impressed. Also sorry Hibou, I guess being a sane woman isn't possible.]]

Are you sure we should be doing this...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yh9RywD_Fw

You take aim, it only makes sense to kill them... right? Maybe you are fucked in the head... no you're protecting your country...

You stick the barrel of the rifle through the bush and move some of the leaves away, you see the woman leave the trailer carrying a huge slab of ribs wrapped in butcher paper, blood soaking the underside of the paper. And a very young man tending to a grill, putting more charcoal in it, making plenty of ruckus, perfect. You take aim and gun down the man first, straight in the chest, he drops the bag of charcoal, blood flies out of the wound painting the grill.

The woman screams and drops the ribs, you take her out next cleanly. Shot to the head and she's no more. You pull the bolt back and eject the cartridge, it giving off the eargasmic sound of a 'ping'... you realize that two bullets ejected from the gun. What?

You skin them, and butcher them. But you don't eat any, you're not hungry. And you make a mask out of both their faces so you have a fashion sense.

Use some string from the rope and put it through the ears of the face masks, so you can wear them without taking up your hands.
