TEST DRIVE


Want to test out the setting? Not sure if your character is a good fit? Need to start gathering some samples? You know how it goes:

    → Comment with the character's name and series in the subject.
    → Pick an option or make your own.
    → Tag around.
    → Enjoy yourself!!


The Test Drive will be open up until Vivarium opens on July 5th. Check out these helpful links to get a sense of the game:

G A M E  L I N K S

R E S O U R C E S
    You're awake. You're lying on a cold floor, and your head is pounding. It feels like you've been hit with a sledgehammer. You can barely move, but you push yourself up anyway, and look around. You're in an unfamiliar warehouse, and on your left wrist is a bracelet. It feels heavy, and no matter how hard you tug at it, it refuses to come off. You can't remember how you arrived here, nor do you recognize anyone else. Try not to panic too much.

    ( For the purposes of the Test Drive, characters will be arriving in the warehouse instead of the Elevator/AB Room)

    An Ambidex Game has just concluded. You have entered in your vote and there's no turning back. Did you trust your opponent and vote ally? Or did you double-cross them and vote betray? What did your opponent do? Did they vote betray while you voted ally, or did they vote ally while you voted betray? Why did you choose one or the other? Just what did you do?

    Rules are meant to be broken. You've just reached a certain amount of BP, and you can finally have access to food (low or high quality) or to the dorms. It's great, things are getting a bit more bearable now, but seeing the others without the same "luxuries" as you, you feel like you should do something. It's against the rules to bring food or blankets out of their respective rooms, but Zero can't have eyes everywhere... can he?

    Exploration and Escape. All the windows are bolted shut, and all the doors are locked. The exit is through the number 9 door, but no one can reach it until they have 63 BP. It'll take too long to wait for help to arrive, and to accumulate that many points. There must be some way out. Maybe if you search enough, you can find a tool to help you break down a door.

    Wild Card. Want to try something else? Go for it! Have your own AB Game round, have characters argue against each other, try to keep the mood cheery, whatever! Make full use of the environment and mechanics, just remember to keep it within the game's structure.

[ HE DOES NOT, WHO DO YOU TAKE HIM FOR ]

Maybe if you trust your life with a stranger. How do you know that they're not going to pick betray on you after talking you up to pick ally?
punintentional: (∫ pretty sure 1+1 doesn't equal window..)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-06 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Because that's just dumb? If we just all pick ally, we'll all gain points together and be able to escape.

It's only when people start betraying that people are going to get left behind or even killed.
fairsfair: ((゚`⌓´))

You have to be pretty damn naive if you think everyone's going to keep voting ally for the entire game. What I just was the most rational choice here.
punintentional: (∫ so close to beating that high score...)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-07 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
There's nothing rational about deciding to screw someone over for no reason.
fairsfair: ((`^´))

[personal profile] fairsfair 2014-06-07 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It's rational to pick the choice that has the least chance of screwing me over. Not my problem if they actually thought choosing ally for the first round was a good idea.

[ Sorry, Jake is pretty cynical and selfish... He's been betrayed pretty badly in the past and while he can't remember it, it has left an impact on him and how he acts. ]
punintentional: (∫ did he fire six shots or only five)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-09 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
No, it's not rational, it's just you being an asshole. At least be honest about it.
fairsfair: (( •̀∀•́ ))

[personal profile] fairsfair 2014-06-09 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah yeah, you done bitching now? It's not like I can change my vote now.

[ And looking at his bracelet, it looks like the points have already been distributed. His number is looking mighty good at 6 BP. He's almost there to getting some food to eat. ]
punintentional: (∫ did he fire six shots or only five)

[ Just shaking his head, looking at his own bracelet - thankfully, solid at 5 BP. Looks like he managed to get a decent partner after all. ]

It'll come back to haunt you, I bet. But hey, do what you want.
fairsfair: ((✧`︶´)人(`︶´✧))

[personal profile] fairsfair 2014-06-11 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, I will. I'm not staying or dying in a hellhole like this.

[ If he was paid to stay here, sure, he will. He'll do a lot of things for money... ]
punintentional: (∫ hey could you turn down the sun)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-11 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't think anyone plans on that.

[ Not that he thinks you'll be getting out anytime soon, since who in their right minds would ally with you after that? ]
fairsfair: (( ′ ‸ ‵ 。))

[personal profile] fairsfair 2014-06-13 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, Jake can totally get people to ally with him. If he knows that they'll do it for sure, then he'll gladly pick the same. ]

[ And not answering that. Just turning away to check out the score board. He... forgot Junpei's name, so he has no idea which one is his. ]


What did your partner pick?
punintentional: (∫ do you think...we could use that pipe?)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-13 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Double-checking his bracelet just in case, but yep - still 5 BP. ]

Ally. They made the right choice.
fairsfair: ((✧`︶´)人(`︶´✧))

[personal profile] fairsfair 2014-06-15 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Lucky you. Let's see if they actually pick ally again next time, though.
punintentional: (∫ i wanna be the very best)

[personal profile] punintentional 2014-06-15 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
If they're smart, they will.
