Administrators Amethyst Posted November 17, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 17, 2012 DISCLAIMER: The Nonary game borrows on a historical/historical fiction setting and many elements have been derived from available research on actual events. Their representation in the game is not meant to cause any offense, or to support the institutions, parties, or ideals behind those things- it is merely an affect of recreating the scenario.Some notes:*I will always try and announce a game ahead of time, be it in a status or server topic. However, these things are not set in stone. Being that the ability to run the game is strictly based on my personal schedule, I cannot promise any certain time ever.*In general, if you're in some sort of peril wherein the time you have to survive is not specified, it will be some amount of time with a DR of 9. I usually find that this is either 180 seconds (3 minutes), 360 seconds (6 minutes), 9, 18 or 27 minutes. Not terribly specific, but it does narrow it down a bit.*Web browser capability is now mandatory for playing the game. But if you're reading this, that shouldn't be an issue. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it this? http://pokemon-online.eu/threads/nonary-numbers.19314/ Potential spoilers from the first link for those who haven't played the canon games. Second link is unrelated. Can someone Clarify what this is for the Unenlightened? It is more or less explained by the OP: "IN THE NONARY GAME YOU AND 8 OTHER PLAYERS WILL TEAM UP IN ORDER TO SOLVE AND SURVIVE A SERIES OF ETHICALLY VERIFIED TESTS*." (aka puzzles) The Nonary Game as a concept is based on the Zero Escape series (999 and Virtue's Last Reward). Those official games are VN-puzzle type games where the main character undergoes a specific story, trapped in the scenario known as the Nonary Game. The games themselves are fantastic and I very highly recommend them. But, I decided it would be fun to be able to play Nonary in a way that isn't quite so set and defined, so I wrote a version for our PO server that is actually played by 9 real people (rather than 1 protagonist and 8 characters). This is actually the second one I've written; the first one has been retired. Due to the nature of the game I can't post logs or explain too much, but shit always goes down, and it is intense and fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
