Why do people. . .

If you can't trust anyone. . .

Hello all, and welcome to

Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Dilemma Redux - Ambisin Edition!

WARNING: THIS GAME CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS FOR THE ZERO ESCAPE SERIES



This is a μ test of the game?

Game Rules:
Spoiler:

1. The most important: respect your host and the other players. Please remember that this is just a game.
   
   
2. This is a role-playing game and I, the host, will be the GM. I will facilitate everything in this game; please always follow my instructions.
   
   
3. Your primary goal in this game is to escape the facility. Note that some roles may have additional goals, while others don't need to escape at all. In order to escape, you must open the Number 12 Door. You will learn how to do this as the game progresses.
   
   
4. Once the escape door is opened, all players able to leave - meaning not unconscious or otherwise preoccupied - will escape, and the door will close. The game ends immediately afterward. In other words, opening the Number 12 Door marks the end of the game.
   
   
5. This game is both active and time-based. If you are unable to respond to another player's action due to your absence, then I will act on your behalf. I always try to be fair. Consider this a disclaimer: do not complain about actions I took for you. This is often better than simply letting you die because you happened to be offline.
   
   
6. Please put your /join in italics.

Player Rules:
Spoiler:

1. Do not, under any circumstances, discuss your role. Do not claim a role, do not list your role's abilities, and do not name your role's win conditions. Yes, some roles may appear obvious, but please do not make role accusations outright. Only Pair roles in their pair chat may discuss roles freely.
   
   
2. You are free to play any character you wish, but do not use role-playing names. Please use your forum name.
   
   
3. Do not talk about the game outside of game means.
   
   
4. Please bold all of your actions so that they are easy for me to see.
   
   
5. DO NOT JOIN THIS GAME IF YOU WON'T BE ACTIVE. This game normally takes anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. The more active the players are, the less time it will take to complete. This game is much more fun when all players are active.
   
   
6. Please also underline your /join.

Phases:
Spoiler:

Discussion - Talk with other players in the thread, vote for various options, etc. Mainly used as filler between other phases.

Puzzle - Separate into groups and solve riddles with your team. Solely in PMs.

Roaming - Explore the facility, interacting with others along the way. Solely in PMs.

Ambidex Game - Choose to ally or to betray your opponents. What you choose dictates if you'll be able to escape, or if you'll be left behind...
