Introduction to a Forum Game:

Some of you may have played a forum game before, and some may not. For those who have not, this is a little bit about how to play a forum game.
Each player chooses a team that they’d like to be on, either G.I.Joe or Cobra. Each team has its own recruitment thread.

G.I.JOE: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-general-discussion/36556-g-i-joe-command-thread-official-gi-joe-team-recruiting-thread.html

COBRA: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-general-discussion/36565-official-cobra-command-recruitment-thread.html

You can go to either team’s thread to sign up. Just post that you are interested in joining, and someone will contact you!

Playing the game is simple: Each day, you are required to go the game thread. This is where the actual game takes place. Your team Leader or Squad Leader will PM you "orders" each day. You then carry these out, making a "hurt", "heal", or "move" action. It’s that easy!

Each game is considered 1 "Act". These Acts all interconnect, forming a story within the game. In essence, you control how the story goes. That is it in a nutshell. Feel free to talk to any current players, and they can fill you in and explain it in more detail.

Now, onto the format and rules. They will be broken down into sub groups, with examples as well. Feel free to ask questions you might have in the War Council Thread not answered here.

It is strongly suggested that all players familiarize themselves with these rules. Each team Leader is responsible for their teams. Leaders, Co Leaders and Squad Leaders are not permanent positions, and may be changed each game, if the team likes. It’s up the teams. All leaders are responsible for making sure their teams are well informed.

First off, each team member will be assigned a class by their Leader. Leaders, Co Leaders and Squad Leaders receive a "Field Commander" bonus, and may only be Soldiers or Medics. The rest of the team may be assembled from the rest of the classes available.




Battle and storyline threads:

All game posts will take place in the Battle Thread. This is where all the action happens! Each act will begin with a storyline intro, followed by a scenario posting. Once the game begins, the storyline is decided by the player's actions. The battle thread can be found here:

Also, the previous Acts of the game storyline will be posted for those players who'd like to catch up. You can find it here:

Medic:

A very important part of your army is your medics. When characters are injured, it falls to these players to keep them alive! You may have one medic per every three soldiers. This number may be adjusted depending on each scenario.

Medics may post a Move Action (Move+2) or a Heal Action (Heal+2) . They may also post Split Actions (Heal +1, Move +1) or (Heal +1, Heal +1).

Combat Medic:

Combining the best of both worlds, Combat Medics are an important part of any army.
Combat Medics may post a Heal Action (Heal+2) or a Hurt Action (Hurt-2). They may also post Split Actions (Hurt -1, Heal +1) or (Heal +1, Heal +1).
Combat Medics do not have a move option.

This class is limited to one per every ten players. Combat Medics count toward your total medic number.

Each team will often have one or more vehicles attached to it. There is one driver per vehicle.

Once the vehicle is lost, the Driver will gain the option of being a Soldier or a Medic class. They must announce which, and it cannot be changed once done.

Weapons Specialist:

Pretty self explanatory. Weapons Specialists do not have a Move option, but make up for this by doing tremendous damage. Highly trained and deadly, Weapon Specialts are an impotant part of your army.
Weapons Specialists may post a Hurt Action to one character or vehicle (Hurt-3). Doing this necessitates a "recharge" of said special weapon, so every other turn must be a (Hurt-1).


This class is limited to 1 per every 10 players.

Turn #1: Cobra Weapons Specialist Hurt Duke -3
Turn #2: Cobra Weapons Specialist Hurt Duke -1
Turn #3: Cobra Weapons Specialist Hurt Duke -3
