• {1} Take turns using canon characters. There's only one of each, and having multiples of the same character is only allowed if it runs consistent with their canon (e.g. Twice from MHA being able to duplicate himself and others).
  
• {1A} If you wish to use another user's OC, or a character currently in use by another user, please ask first.
  
• {2} Given the nature of the main thread, then yes, screenshots and OSTs from canon material are allowed in the main thread.
  
• {2A} Clips are allowed as well, but only if they do not break copyright laws.
  
• {2B} Fan-made creations are safe to share in the OOC thread, but not in the main thread if it wasn't made by you. It will only be allowed in the main thread if you created it, and have it attributed to a character you are currently using in the main thread.
  
• {3} This one should be obvious, but please keep all chatter in the main thread consistent with the character(s).
  
• {3A} Permadeath is not allowed here. Period. There's a system in place in the main thread to keep that from happening anyways.
  
• {4} Even though the characters can see/hear through the fourth wall, that only applies to real-world events (read: Olympics), or televised shows/movies. In no way does that apply to any OOC thread at all.
  
• {4A} It does, however, apply to video games.
  
• {4B} Yes, it does apply to other Roleplay/Murder/Mafia games - but only the ones on TC and TVT.
  

* When introducing a universe:
** A header should state its name (the work it's from, plus any canonical names). Examples: Downton Abbey, Pete's World (Doctor Who),
** And also its type. Examples: "City-size Urban Fantasy 'verse", "Multi-Galactic Space Opera"
** The main post itself should state a specific location where the Corruption spawns in. Examples: "the House of Commons chamber", "the planet of Teegarden's Star b".

* When introducing one or more characters:
** Obviously, you should state their name. Examples: "Wonder Woman", "Jorji Costova".
** State whatever they have on them right now. Example: "The Doctor has his Sonic Screwdriver and Psychic Paper".
** State any strengths or weaknesses that will probably become relevant. Example: "Sonic the Hedgehog has super speed".

There, that was easy, wasn't it? All you need to do is have them do an action. How?

To make an action, you must state it with a > thingy. Just about any action can be taken to fight against the Corruption, but there will be some minor things:

* If your action would use a limited resource (ammo, gasoline, custard pies, ect), I ask that you keep track of how much of that resource your character has and will use in that action.
* It's not just attacking: you can run away, take cover, try to learn about your foe, and so on.
* If there is an element of chance, uncertainty, of anything that means that the action might not work, just state so and I'll roll a die.
* The final action a Universe can take is Capitualtion. This instantly assimilates it and all known characters in it. You may only Capitulate universes you have played in a lot, and only as a last resort. This cannot be undone.

There isn't really that much to know about the Corruption. But what there is to know is as follows:

* If a Corruption force would kill or destroy something, it instead assimilates it, taking control of it. This applies to everything that is still recognisable, and that isn't a part of the enviroment (trees, buildings, bodies of water, the void, ect.). The enviroment is tainted with much less effort.
* The Corruption only sends out a few Drones (corrupted soldiers) per universe. The number sent out depends on the verse's scope. They are rather tough (much stronger than the average bear), but do have a few mystery weaknesses. Try everything.
* The first Drone spotted will always be a Footsoldier Drone. It's a figure in dark armour that weilds a baton and a shield.
* Any further things will be added here once people figure them out - or at least think they do.

* Don't be too much of a jerk to other players. They already have one problem to deal with, so... don't make it un-fun.
* Don't get too annoyed if a universe you like gets assimilated - that's just how it goes.
* Any questions? Don't be afraid to ask!

* Etheirys (Final Fantasy XIV)
* Beach City (Steven Universe)

What is this?

This is an adaptation of a forum game on TV Tropes to the Trouble Cube Forums.

RULES:

1. Don't godmod. This includes autohitting, having items you don't have a sufficient amount of currency for, etc.

2. Don't be unnecessarily rude. If you're doing it for laughs or in-character, then it's fine...but maybe specifiy it if it's not obvious.

3. When working to earn Rubikoins, it's encouraged that you roleplay and talk to people while doing so. However, these actions will take some time, and you must do each action for a certain amount. If you fail to do this, you will not earn money.

4. Don't kill people, unless you're fighting in an RP. If you want to battle, use the Arena.
