Welcome to the Gundam RPG. It's not going to be 3d until i can get a host for the world. So for now this is a email and chat rpg. If your a veteran of this type of game you can skip over the next part, but for all those who haven't done an email rpg before read on. An email rpg is its own type of game, this one has a very simple set of rules compared to others. When you join a email rpg you send everything to the rpg's game address. What you send are commands. So you signup with your stats and send commands to the email address, hopefully you get that. I hope this to be a very popular game, I’ve had other Gundam RPG’s but the ideas tested didn’t work. This RPG is email based, that means you send me everything and I keep track of it all. This game is also based on magic style battling. So start reading but before you do think about how much time you can devote to this game, if you don’t participate you will be deleted. I’ll have a list of people who have been idle for a week if you go idle for 2 weeks without giving me reason you’ll be deleted! All I ask is that you devote about 20-30 minutes of your time a week to be a part of a great online game, thats it 20-30 minutes a week.

Join:

Pick a MS that no one has picked yet. MS that are mass produced can have more than one owner. also wing suits are alowed...now.
Choose a Character name
-can't be a main character from an anime show (minor character names are ok)
-I’m ok with jap names
-no numbers
-profane names
-or stuff like cool guy tennis pro
-can’t have a MS as your name

HP:

Everyone has HP, it's your life and attack power. The HP consists of 2 parts. attacking/defending
attacking=how much you attack for and
defending is how much you can block for

so everyones will look like ??/??

New members have 100 points to make up there HP (?/?) so put around 50 on each side (ex. 50/50, 49/51, 48/52, 51/49, 52/48, etc. if one side goes up the other goes down) Something around 50 is suggested.

LvL’n Up:

The new system of leveling up is for every battle won you get 1000 exp. and 500 exp. for draw. the amount to the next lvl is that lvl with 000 added so to lvl 2 is 2000 exp lvl 3 is 3000
Once you lvl up you get +10 points to your choice attacking/defending

¥, our currency:

New members get ¥ depending on what force they join check here for listings
¥100 for winning a battle
¥50 for a loss or draw
¥100 for a basic IU(instant upgrade) ¥1000 for PU(permanent upgrade) more prices in the store

Battling:

you have hp attacking/defending (like magic) (ex. 60/40 ; 60 being how much you attack for and 40 how much you defend for)
you both attack and defend at the same time
an example battle
Let’s assume your a 60/40 ( 60 attacking / 40 defending ) 70/30 vs 60/40 = you would both lose
This is one singular instant move there are no Attacking turns in this rpg, There ARE turns in the emails you'll send to attack, but the actual battle is instant.

70/30/ vs 60/40 He attacks for 70 while you attack for 60, he only blocks 30 he dies, you only block for 40 you die.

30/40 vs 60/40 = 60/40 wins; he attacks for 30 while you attack for 60, he only blocks 40 he dies, you block 40, you win

Joint Blocking:
80/80 vs 40/40 & 40/90
the 40/40 attacks 1st doing 40 damage the 80/80, then it does 80 damage the 40/40’s, it's dead, the 40/90 attacks for 40 damage and takes off the 40/remaining damage while blocking for 90, it’s alive and the 80/80’s dead, if the 80/80 would have versed the 40/90 1v1, then they would cancel (draw).
If you know how to play magic then you should get all of this.

The most important thing in this rpg is to remember you don't take turns attacking, there isn't 4 turns, it's all done at once
There is no second turn and you have to repair for 1 day if a battle is lost

Damage:

1 day repair if a battle's lost

Status:

To get Status reports on you and other members you'll have to email me with the command's on the commands page. This is because it's hard to update every day and easier this way

Commands:

Go to the commands page

IU (Instant Upgrades):

I want to get to this before I give you the play by play of the email.
Instant Upgrades are upgrades that last only one battle and are cheap, then reason I have them is because everybody is about the same ??/?? so these give the game alot of excitement.
the 2 basic IU’s are Iuattack and Iudefense what these do is give you +10 to attack and defense and you can buy as many as you want.
ex. im a 50/50 I use 2 IUattack to fight a 40/60 so now im 70/50, I win.
¥300 First strike- if you can kill him and he can kill you, you win
ex. 50/50 vs 50/50w/first strike
first strike does 50 damage, if the damage your doing is enough to kill the other guy, the match is over, you win, if it's not enough to kill him then, you lose (its not possible to tie/draw)

Email Messages in detail:
you don't really have to read this it might just confuse you....

Stuff you get:

I would send this to the person being attacked: Subject: CWRPG
A bit of RP: You go about your daily duties of war, when someone from the bridge says over the intercom, “Sir, someone from an unidentified location has challenged you to a MS battle.”
The person’s lvl ( 1, 2, 3; not hp!)
Their location
Do you accept?
Do you want to use any IU's?

You would reply with Yes or No. and an optional message that will be sent to the other person (no cussing; must be RP no out of character (like im a newbie pls accept))

If Yes then I send this message to the attacker and the person being attacked: Subject: CWRPG
His name
His MS
His HP
His Location
Your Location
Meeting Location
Would you like to use any UI's?

After this I'll do the battling math post the results on the battle results page and send a message to the loser reminding them to report their loss on the stats server and the loser must repair for one day.

Map and Locations:

The map we use is made of squares. Each square is one day to travel
When you attack someone chances are they're on the other side of the map the, by the new battle system you both meet in the middle automatically, then to travel back it will only take half the time if you choose to travel back.

The 3d world and Chat:

The 3d world hasn't been published yet.
All commands can be done in the chat except battling through gogg only

Email:

I get my email more or less everyday around 3:00-4:00PM Central Time and later at 6:00-8:00PM Central Time
There's lots of commands you can do so send em in.
