Welcome To Olympus

Subject: Welcome To Olympus Wed Dec 07, 2011 9:00 pm

Let’s rewind the clock to 522BCE...

To a time when Twelve Olympians ruled this globe...

Full of power, and immortal...

These gods defeated the Titans in order to acquire such power. You would think that 12 Immortal Gods would rule peacefully among the top of Mount Olympus... but with all great power comes great responsibility. It is said that the eventual destruction of Mount Olympus was brought about by sheer and utter madness within the circle of Gods – they all wanted to be on top, they all wanted ALL of the power.

Greed...

Jealousy...

Envy...

Wrath...

Brought about....

Welcome To Olympus Battle_for_olympus

The Battle for Olympus.

Game Concept/Format:

This game is one like never played before but combines many elements of game play that we have seen around the forum.

Twelve players will be asked to step forward to answer the call for this great challenge. Each player will adapt the persona of one of the twelve Greek Gods&Goddesses of Olympus. Players will then participate in each round as Gods are eliminated one by one until only the strongest and most powerful God remains to rule the planet from the sole throne that will remain atop Mount Olympus.

The format of each round will generally follow the sequence of rolling the 100 sided die. The two gods to roll the lowest number will be forced to battle HEAD to HEAD in order to fight for their rightful position within the Gods of Olympus. The three Gods who roll the highest that round will openly deliberate the elimination of one of the Gods who is fighting head to head (bottom 2). That is to say, the three Gods must discuss and submit their votes publically within the forum. These three Gods may debate among themselves, and other Gods may contribute to the discussion, however it will be only the three highest rollers that will be given the power that round and be able to lock in a vote for the expulsion of the chosen God or Goddess. A vote will ONLY be counted when it is 'locked in'. Posts that cast an official vote shall be bolded, in red coloured font, and be formatted like this...

for example,

Hades locks in his vote for Persephone.

Now, here is where things become interesting...

Godly Powers:

Once the 12 participants have enrolled to participate, an order will be randomly generated and each player will choose their God or Goddess in the order that is given. Each God comes with, of course, Powers that relate to their domain in which they rule over.

All Godly Powers have been pre-determined and assigned to each God and Goddess. At the beginning of the game each player is PM’d a special twist that can emerge throughout the course of the game. This special ability can only be used ONCE and only under special circumstances. Each round is a combination of luck and strategy. All discussions should take place within the forum, although private discussions are allowed.

At the beginning of each round, each player will roll based on the outcome of the previous round. Twists are always unleashed either at the end or beginning of a round...
not within a round. If no Godly Powers are unleashed during a round, than it will follow the regular format outlined above.

For Example: Say Hades was participating in the battle for Olympus. His special ability would be to rise mortals from the dead in order to overthrow ONE god. Hades must roll an EVEN number in the previous round to unleash this power on one of the gods in the following round. Hades would PM me within the 24 hr timeline between rounds to use this power and indicate which God/Goddess he would like to use it against. Once the power is unleashed, it MAY NOT be used again for the duration of the game. So chose wisely as to when you would like to use this! Nobody else will be aware of the special abilities each God/Goddess possesses and please keep this secret weapon to yourself.

The Olympians

Zeus – God of the Sky & Thunder (thunderbolt)

Hera – Goddess of Marriage & Family (crown)

Poseidon – God of the Seas, Earthquakes, and Horses (horse)

Aphrodite – Goddess of Love, Beauty, and Desire (dove)

Dionysus – God of Wine, Celebrations, and Ecstasy (grapevine)

Hephaestus – God of Fire and the Forge (anvil)

Apollo – God of Light, Knowledge, and Archery (sun)

Artemis – Goddess of the Hunt, Virginity, and Archery (moon)

Demeter – Goddess of Fertility, Agriculture, and the Seasons(poppy)

Ares – God of War, Violence, and Bloodshed (spear)

Hermes – Messenger God of Commerce and Thieves (caduceus)

Athena – Goddess of Wisdom, Defense and Strategic warfare (owl)

Timeline:

Each round will last as long as it needs to. That is to say, there is no specific amount of time in which a player must role. However, for the sake of the game and keeping it at a good pace for everyone, please try to log into the forum once a day to see if your participation is required or to contribute to the conversation in which Gods/Goddesses to save or dispel.

Following the elimination, there will be a 24h period of no public game play where players may PM the host to use their Godly Power if they have unlocked it and wish to use it. Remember, powers are unlocked based on a roll in the PREVIOUS round. It will make more sense when you receive your powers through PM. You may also PM me DURING a round if your power requires to be unleash at the end. Whether your power can be used at the BEGINNING or END of a round will be specified with the power itself.

The Last Olympian:

The God or Goddess who prevails amongst the rest will be well deserved of the title of the Last Olympian, and declared winner of The Battle for Olympus. When only 2 Gods remain, the 10 eliminated Gods or Goddesses will be given a chance to vote for the God they believe should win. However, you must WIN BACK your privileged to vote. Being expelled from Mount Olympus upon your elimination strips you of ANY abilities, and strips you of your existence completely. When time comes to vote, you will be asked to step forward and roll your right to vote. Each God will roll, and the 5 best roll's will be asked to vote...

CLEAR?
