Starting a Rock Paper Scissors game

Gameplay

At the start of a new RPS game, each player will be assigned a set amount of temporary Rocks, Scissors and Papers which will disappear once the game ends. The game itself is divided into a series of Rounds at the end of which Victory Points are awarded. The Rounds will continue until a player earns 5 or more Victory Points. In each round, players can choose to attack every other participating player with the !atk r|p|s PLAYERNAME command (providing they have a sufficient number of weapons). Players can also combine any two basic weapons using the !combine command. If a weapon is combined, it must be used in the same round it was created, else it will disappear.

Commands

  • !status - Displays the Round number as well as the number of weapons and Victory Points the initiator of this command has.
  • !stock - Displays the number of weapons the initiator of this command has in their permanent stock.
  • !buy Rock|Paper|Scissors - Used to buy weapons when no game is being played.
    • !buy - Displays the weapons for sale, their prices and the amount of RPS points the initiator of this command has.
    • !buy ROCK - Adds a Rock to the initiator of this command's permanent stock.
    • !buy PAPER - Adds a sheet of Paper to the initiator of this command's permanent stock.
    • !buy SCISSORS - Adds a pair of Scissors to the initiator of this command's permanent stock.

In-Game only commands

  • !atk r|p|s PLAYERNAME - Attacks a player with the specified weapon.
    • !atk r PLAYERNAME - Attacks a player with a Rock.
    • !atk p PLAYERNAME - Attacks a player with a sheet of Paper.
    • !atk s PLAYERNAME - Attacks a player with a pair of Scissors.
  • !combine r|p|s r|p|s - Will combine two basic weapons .
  • !add - used to add weapons from your personal stock of bought items. such as: !add ROCK.

Alt. attacking commands

  • !rock
  • !scissors
  • !paper
  • !boulder
  • !wall
  • !blades
  • !sling
  • !mask
  • !shuriken
  • See List of Commands

Combinations

During game play you are able to combine weapons. Combined weapons have the added effect of being able to steal cerain other weapons, as well as being able to beat themselves when not combined. Such as rock+rock=boulder which will beat a plain rock. The command to combine weapons is !combine. Used like this: !combine R S, this will create a shurkiken. The two downsides to combining weapons are the fact you must use them on the same day they are created or they will vanish forever and that you use your weapons up faster. See RPS weapons .

Scoring

At the end of each round we will see all the attacks take place. For each successful attack you recive 1 point. The person with the most points at the end of each round recives 2 vp or victory points. In the case of an even tie amongst all players at the end of a round. one player is "run over" and the rest recive 1vp each. In the case of a tie amongst 2 players at the end of a round, they will split for 1 vp each. The first player to reach 5vp wins the game.

Buying weapons and stock

An added bonus to playing mafia games is that for each win you recive 1 point (or 1 dollar as I like to look at it). These points can then be used to buy items to store in your own personal stock. Once you have some points saved up, use: !buy to add to your collection. Use: !buy ROCK to buy a rock, use: !buy PAPER for paper and: !buy SCISSORS for, you got it, scissors. This command only works while no game is being played. Now that you bought some items you can then use the: !stock command. This command will tell you how many items you haved saved. Since your stock is now loaded with good items you can now use the: !add command. This can only be used during a RPS game. Use: !add ROCK to add a rock and so on. This will come in usefull if you happen to run out of weapons while in a game.
