Welcome to Gaia! ::

At episode 2 of the anime.

Thinking that we should do something like the Capture the Flag event (though I'm not familiar enough with the series to understand the logic behind it. I mean, people may die....unless the winning city can take X amount of resources from losing city, then I could see proper motivation)

Mechanics:
Each City will have 1 subforum. When 2 of them are at war against each other, subforum name will have [At war against :___________ ] next to it.

For each city, set a specific number of levels. Each levels will have a fixed amount of 'sections'. Threads will be something like
Level 1 - Section A/B/C/D/etc.
Level 2 - Section A/B/C/D/etc.
etc.

To get to a higher level (to claim the flag at the top of the city), one needs to make a minimum of _______ amount of posts in the current level. Once that is done, roll a dice. Let's say there are 4 sections, roll a 4D. If a number (let's say 1) is obtained, that means you were lucky and found the right path to the next level. Otherwise, you have to move to the next section (perhaps there was a trap, you got lost, etc..."Attempt to find path to the next level was unsuccessful"). In the next section, the same will need to be done, but instead of rolling a 4D, it will be to generate a number between 1 to 3. Should 1 be obtained, success! Otherwise, move to another section and generate a number between 1 and 2. 1=successful progression. etc.


Depending on character equips, stats, or just plot line, some people may get 'luck' bonuses that will bump the success rate (some math will need to be done) or a decrease in terms of post count (maybe they have higher speed?)

Wealthier cities may have more Levels or Sections. (Dunno which one should be harder/pricier to obtain)

the municipal challenge is much like a raid battle but the welfare and fundings of a city are on the line and a city that is starving may challenge for food or a city low on fuel might challenge for fuel mines.

I was thinking of using the clan battle system to do this but with some changes to replicate the difference of it being a city instead of a single building. I did actually think of using a row method as they could have a chance to sneak past but had trouble deciding how Nen'i operators would work as they are psychics and can reach across the battlefield for information. Perhaps the battle rows could be used in such a way, having the platoon select a line to be in and the other's Nen'i operator rolls against it.

an example
platoon picks center line leaving left and right empty, 1E,2P,3E
opponents Nen'i operator would need to roll a 3 or 1 to attempt to avoid successfully or else they couldnt read the field in time
if the roll is successful the opposing nen'i operator may roll as well and if the opponent rolled a 1, a roll of 1 or 2 would allow a reposition of the troops to counter but a three would have been a wrong guess and the opponent may advance.

split platoons will allow for a catch all but at a cost. Since I will eventually write up the details of combat lines for switch hitting, second line shooters and third line Nen'i operators dividing a platoon is putting faith that your characters in one line can handle it... this would leave things at a disadvantage for the other team as the time it would take to plow over someone would allow time to lose the flag, this option would probably be best if the opposing nen'i operator and crew would be allowed to decide who could challenge the competitor in the far line or attempt to hold a platoon at bay to confront the more challenging target ((more work will clearly be needed as this also could be applied to having traps protect a line and a whole platoon in another while also having different levels of the city))

Kei users also have an ability to cast sensory magic though it is slightly more costly that may allow them a higher chance to counter a line, traps might also give notice when set off if the squad does not have a Nen'i operator to coordinate the captains orders.

Avoid Run-on sentences. A single sentence should rarely have more than 1 "and"'s. Make sure you are using the right pronoun when referring to something.

ok, jotting down ideas for the plot line so that things may be placed where they need to go and actually make sense of the plot... plus... not drop lvl 1s against contaminoids and let them die like bugs...


ok, so, rough draft has been set, next, editing for what may need to be corrected/added/removed, editing to be a readable story and such, then editing to correct grammar and spelling, then finally posting XD, still 3 steps lol... just a lot of work XD

the disc's hold the information that makes the phantom, the core is the device that creates the phantom, so the core is basically the DITE for the RP.

there is actually none, the translation between Japanese and English differed between the anime and manga. The "they" referred to here is the electronic spirits that are born there. In the anime they would drift around the Regios because of unknown reasons but would show signs of curiosity in just about everything.

I completely skipped phantoms and I am sorry, the electronic spirits came in contact with the phantoms and fused becoming a Fallen with the capacity to integrate with the phantom replication device.

We may indeed need a timeline but there aren't any for the anime making it hard to work with on that matter. The world seems to be a fairly far advanced world to have compressed weapons and walking cities but isnt very far advanced as it still requires a fuel to move.

well, there are the contaminoids, toxic atmosphere, and now the phantom beasts. shortly before the phantom beasts start spreading we have phantoms being used as weapons by smugglers and martial artists. There are those who are effected by the energy coming from the alternate world that basically become possessed or something like that... really confused about the wolf mask gang and the other world stuff...

The settings are in walking cities trying to avoid contaminoids... since they move this may be a bit of a problem to write up this... the perks will differ but not much, academic cities will avoid contaminoids and such reducing the number of fights monthly but richer cities like spear shelled cities that gain more cash per post will have a higher chance to face them.

I am actually not very sure what electronic spirits are, If im not mistaken, they are creatures from the alternate realm and the Regios where created to house them as the contaminoids became a problem and everything died to the toxic atmosphere. Kei is something they are born with, ballistic, tempered and Nen'i are all three forms of Kei but work differently. It is a magical energy that can charge DITE and be used much in the same way as in multiverse except there are only the 4 elements, body magic, and psychic types which will be used primarily as buff skills. I was listing 12 weapons which would have 2 different settings so that they could select the weapons, but then again it may be better to allow them to select their own DITEs.

So they are man made, well that makes what the Wolf Mask Gang talked about even more confusing lol.

well it can still be said that the electronic spirits/fairies ((both work)) joined form with the Phantoms and gained an ability to leave cities and follow the DNA programing with some faults in their systems. The Phantoms are made to be a working genetic replica, the Electronic Fairies would be like the controlling person except an AI in a less than optional frame.
