Animal Rescue: petsPick (16/16)

ANIMAL RESCUE

petsPick



The Setup Is Your Pet!


So everyone knows uPick: a game where you send in a role and either you get it or maybe someone else does, edited, etc.

This is a little different: your pets will pick the roles! Everyone involved will pick at least one pet they've had, send a photo and hopefully a little information about them (at least their name).

1. The pet can be any animal: dog, cat, rodent, horse, etc. So long as you love it, you can use it.
2. Beloved but passed away pets are okay.
3. The pet doesn't have to be yours, so long as you love it like it is.
4. You may send in more than one pet.

My Promise To You

uPicks, encores, etc. sometimes have their design stage drag on. So here's the schedule I promise to keep (if not better):
1. When sign ups are closed, everyone will have 48 hours to send in their pets by PM.
2. After that 48 hours, I will take NO LONGER than 7 days to design a setup.
3. When the setup is done, I will immediately send out the PMs and the game will get started.

My Warning

Although I have several ideas on how I want to approach this, I have not yet set it because I want the pets to really inform the setup I make. This being said, I make
no
promises on how the game will look or what mechanics will be used other than it won't be a bastard game.

Sign Up Requirements:

1. No recent history of flaking.
2. At least one completed game on site.
3. No hydras. No exceptions.

TO SIGN UP, YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT YOUR ANIMAL IMMEDIATELY.

Don't love animals, Zach?

He's trying to guilt trip me because we don't play games together unless we can hydra and that's not possible here.

But it won't work because he is currently on a mafia break so I know he really doesn't want to play and is just pushing my buttons :P

So let me ask this: is the pet we submit going back to us with a role, or are they all being thrown into a pot and assigned randomly with a role? I'm typing up my pet bio as we speak. Did I mention my dog compulsively kills one animal during the day? I don't can't think of anyway to assign abilities to that behavior but I trust you zoraster. :lol:

I'm assuming it's also a pit bull that absorbs any bullets people fire at it? :shifty:

I'm only submitting armored neckless "pets".

@ Zoro - Can we PM our pets early?

that's kind of what i'm referring to here:

It's not that I'm being cagey about it or anything. Just that I kind of want to see what I have to play with before doing up the mechanic. I've been bouncing some ideas off of hito, but I won't know until I have all the animals.

@ Zoro - Can we PM our pets early?


Sure. Lots of people already have, actually. I just don't want anyone to not sign up because they don't yet have a photo on their computer or whatever.
