How "They" Work

So here is how we handle "Them". In small numbers, lets say 5 to 15, we let the player control Them during a fight so your character can have awesome moments, and do as they please. However, we the Staff, reserve the right to cut into a topic, and unleash a Horde. Hordes are large groups of enemies that the Staff control the movements and actions of. This increases the challenge of defeating and/or escaping Them. We will say how many there are, and keep tabs on how many have been killed. However, you can't last forever, and you may need to flee in order to survive. Staying to fight when you know you have little resources left, can potentially lead to infection. Though running is not guaranteed to save you either.

Remember: If one of Them manages to break the skin on any part of your body, no matter how little, if you even bleed a bit, you are now infected. You will have approximately 5-10 posts left before your character succumbs to the infection. Once your time is up, you will lose control of your character. Control of said character is turned over to the Staff until killed. If the character is not mercy killed, this is what happens. However, if they are not mercy killed, then the staff will likely use them in a latter encounter as a psychological trap. Once killed, they are officially dead and will not return a second time. Commiting suicide is the only way to escape becoming infected. Any character that is alive and infected, will have their Character Sheet moved from the Accepted Folder to the Undead Folder. Any character that is permanently deceased, will be moved to the Dead Folder.
