Tales of Zeal: King's Game

Welcome to the Tales of Zeal: King's Game

Saving Aselia from utter destruction is very taxing on the nerves of our fellow heroes. In order to blow off some steam, we've gathered our heroes at Altamira at nighttime in a deluxe suite with enough food and drinks for everyone . . . And just the right conditions to play the King's Game!

Overview

The King's Game is known in Japan as Ōsama Game (王様ゲーム), and it's a popular drinking game played by university students. The themes of the game are similar to drawing lots and Truth or Dare. A player will draw a pair of chopsticks that marks them as the King and will issue an order for a random number to perform some intimate or embarrassing act they command. After each order is concluded, the chopsticks are gathered and re-drawn to selects a new King.

The act of the numbers being anonymous makes it so the King must be cautious about what order they give since they don't know what the ultimate outcome could be. Since the game is often played by adults who are drinking. The orders may tend to become more outlandish as the game goes on.

King's Game Rules

The first step in playing King's Game is to gather a pair of chopsticks equal to the number of players, but some versions of the game have been shown using slips of paper in a basket. One pair is either marked by writing the first kanji for king (王, Ou) at the joint or painted red. The following pairs are numbered from 2 and so on. These are then held in the hand of one player or in a tall cup with the markings concealed. Each player draws one pair of chopsticks but must hide their number by holding it to their chest. Only the player who draws the King set is revealed after everyone has made their selection.

The player who holds the King set will then issue any command they wish by calling out the number. For example, No. 2 must kiss No. 5. The King can also command a number to perform an action to them. The King's order is considered absolute. Once the round is over, all the chopsticks are gathered, shuffled, and redrawn.

No matter the command, the King's commands are "Absolute!!".

Rules of the RP

Basic Rules
1. You must be an active role-player in the Tales of Zeal RP and must play your characters throughout the game. Though, you can leave OOC messages after your post.
2. Please follow the basic Gaia rules like no profanity, no bullying, nothing over PG-13 and so on. Doing so will automatically have you removed from the thread.
3. Have fun!

Game Rules
1. Depending on how many players there are there'll be a random number generator between 0 and 15 (or twenty depending on how many people are playing). The one who gets 0 out of the random number generator is the king of the round.
2. Please display the number you've received for each round through the random number generator. This will help others playing the game to make commands and perform such commands. If no one gets a 0 during the round, then the person with the number closest to zero is the King.
3. I would like to keep this going as long as everyone playing has the chance to be king. If successful, I would like to continue it as long as possible. I hope there are players out there who agree with me on this subject.
4. There are two kinds of people in the role-playing game, those who are playing the game (therefore had something to drink) and the sober ones. Sober people will have to make sure that the drunk players aren't doing anything over-the-top like anything obscene or trying to kill each other.
5. Those who are drinking should have a counter for how many drinks they've drank. This is to make sure that the sober people keep watch for those who had too much.
6. Five drinks means that you a pure drunk. Ten drinks is equal to alcohol poisoning and may cost you a revive potion to keep you from dying. The revival potion will save your life, but you'll get hungover. The best way to keep from getting alcohol poisoning or getting hungover is to have some food or water. A meal will reduce a drink from your counter by one.
7. The king's orders, while being absolute, must not fall into anything obscene or profane. Kissing and getting cuddly is allowed, but nothing over PG-13.
8. Do not give too many orders to the same character, everyone must play fair and not gang up on others.
