((Need help with combat rule number 3))
Well, good news, everything seems to be rolling. In the next day of two, I'll have ready a basic outline and rule set for everyone to review based on the basic outline I have below for your observation. Supposing no one finds any glaring holes in it, I'll make a forum thread under the Balmung event tab and get the in game things set up. Basically there will be 5 stages now, each taking place a few days after the prior one Possibly one a week.)
Stage 1 is registration and a meet and greet. Here, the heroes and Garleans will meet in two different role plays to become familiar with each others characters.
Stage 2: The lead hero will receive an in-game letter that is supposed to be for the Garlean head agent. The lead hero will gather the hero participants and got to confront the agent, whom the lead will have already met and role played with separately prior to this all beginning. (Who is this head hero? You shall all learn soon. =D ) At the confrontation, there spies battle and escape, but not before the lead takes possession of a certain document that's lets the heroes know of another letter arriving soon that lists the bomb part locations
Stage 3: The race. Ive settled that there will be 3 bomb parts at three different locations. The heroes will have a set amount of time to decipher the riddles and then get there characters to the locations. At first I was thinking it would be one after the other but with all the support we have, I think it should be a simultaneous event, forcing the hero group to divide itself. If the heroes arrive at each location before the time runs out AND there are more heroes than spies, the heroes seize the part. If either the heroes fail to arrive in time, OR if there are more spies than heroes, the spies take the part. At the end of Stage 3, the side with two parts wins, leading to either:
 A) The spies take the parts to Ul'Dah and set up the bomb.
 B) The spies are forced to flee, their plan in ruins
Stage 4 then becomes either:
 A) If the spies have more parts, a race against time to defuse the bomb as the spies defend the bomb with their lives unless restrained or knocked unconscious.
B) If the heroes have more parts, they will intercept a letter from the head spy telling his men to flee along a route. Then the heroes can plan an ambush.
Stage 5 (Optional)
If the head spy, or any of the Garlean spies are taken alive, they maybe interrogated for information and sentenced accordingly. Â
Rules:
1) IC knowledge does not equal OOC knowledge. for this roleplay it is imperative that you don't use OOC information. I don't think this will be a problem though.
2) Please note that the Garlean characters are people's characters and we ask that they not be killed unless permitted by the player in (OOC)Â All Garleans will be asked when registering if they are okay with their character being killed.
3) Combat: There will be fighting in this. I'm currently debating between making fights be resolved via duel or rp. (Thoughts on this are needed ASAP.)
4) Have fun! I want this to be a lot of fun, and if there are a few hiccups here and there, please go with the flow. I've never done anything quite like this before and if it goes well enough, I'll try another. =D
5) Registration. Once registered, I will put your name on a list for your chosen side so players can rp together, even in the off time. Please note though that for stage 2, there will be a finite of entries who can participate directly since it requires some pretty personal role play in a small space, though all can watch. Other than that, there will be no limit the amount of players in this event.Â
6)Â Please note, any orders given by the lead hero of the head agent must be obeyed for the sake of keeping this organized.
7) Garlean agents, Â please understand that as much as your character doesn' want to , Â they will lose. Â This event is designed this way intentionally to give everyone a fun story to tell but heroes win in stories. Please note this going forward.
