Welcome to the Ro-Bio forum game! This is a forum game based off a simple game made in Roblox that was shut down, and yes, it was originally called Ro-Bio.
OBJECTIVE AND GAMEPLAY: In Ro-Bio, you must research and use viruses to let Ro-Bio Inc. rule the world! Whoever finds the most effective virus wins the round. Viruses given from the Virus Generator start as a Rank 3 virus. Ranks are classified by how many symptoms a virus has, a Rank 1 virus only has one symptom, a Rank 2 virus only has 2 symptoms, and so on. The rank limit is Rank 3. Symptoms can only be discovered when the virus is injected into a patient. Once a virus’ symptoms have been discovered, you may name the virus. Virus symptoms occur in an orderly fashion, going from first to last, when listed as such. Blood can only be collected after patient’s symptoms are discovered. Each turn a player has can have up to 3 actions. Turn actions will be recorded every so often to manage storage of viruses, let players know what their virus symptoms are, etc.
Example
ROUND 9001 CURRENT INFO:
Lockers:
Scientist 1’s Locker: virus 1, virus 2, virus 3, virus 4, virus 5, virus 6
Scientist 2’s Locker: nothing in all six slots
Scientist 3’s Locker: Biggey Sploddey, Biggey Sploddey (copy), virus 3
Scientist 4’s Locker: nothing in all six slots
Actions:
Scientist 1: Injected a virus into a patient, has discovered its following symptoms: Skin color turns black, gets blonde, curly hair, and becomes friendly. He also got a cup of coffee from the Coffee Machine.
Scientist 2: Collects blood from infected patient. He then filters it in the Blood Filter
Scientist 3: Names his virus the following name: Biggey Sploddey. He then duplicates Biggey Sploddey, then puts both copies into his locker.
Scientist 4: Turns the virus The Dominator to staff, staff will look into things.
As a scientist working for Ro-Bio Inc. you are given things to work with in the lab: Injector, Virus Generator, Cell Block, Locker, Public Virus Storage, Blood Filter, Virus Separator, Virus Duplicator, Virus Combiner, and Coffee Machine.
Item Functions:
Injector: Injects and extracts viruses and blood from patients. Is held by the scientist at all times. Is easily movable.
Virus Generator: Generates a random virus for scientists to use. Can only be used once per turn. Is a large machine, so it cannot be moved.
Cell Block: Spawns, holds, and kills patients. Only one patient can be in a cell at a time. a Cell Block is given to every scientist. Is a structure that is a part of the lab, so it cannot be moved.
Locker: Holds up to six viruses. A Locker is given to every scientist. Can only be opened by the scientist given the locker. Lockers are bolted into the wall so they cannot be moved.
Public Virus Storage: Holds up to 20 viruses. Can be used by all scientists. Scientists may take (steal) any virus inside the Public Virus Storage. Is a room attached to the lab, so it cannot be moved.
Blood Filter: Filters patients blood to get the used virus from it. Is a large machine, so it cannot be moved
Virus Separator: Separates a viruses symptoms into other viruses, such as turning a Rank 3 virus into seperate Rank 1 viruses, keeping the original virus’ symptoms apart. You cannot put Rank 1 viruses inside it. Is a large machine, so it cannot be moved.
Virus Duplicator: Makes exact duplicates of viruses. Can only be used once per turn. Is a large machine, so it cannot be moved.
Virus Combiner: Combines viruses into one with more symptoms. You can put up to three Rank 1 viruses inside. You cannot put Rank 2 or Rank 3 viruses inside. Is a large machine, so it cannot be moved.
Coffee Machine: Makes coffee. Is a small machine that fits on a table, so it can be moved a little.
RULES:
-
You may not double post to cheat and get more actions
-
Keep actions simple, but not vague (example of too complex: Gather the Biggey Sploddey virus from my locker, then inject it into a patient. if you have something like this, try seperating it into seperate actions) (example of too vague: Run Around. you need to state where you are running around at, to keep track of where you are.)
-
Only one turn per round update, unless given permission. (round updates are given frequently, so don’t worry on that front)
-
Turns are always in order, so choose when you take your turn wisely.
-
To try to win a round, one of your actions must be to turn your virus to staff. Status of what happens is given in the round update afterwards.
-
Get creative with your actions! the game will allow for quite a bit of freedom for what you can do, say if you wanted one of your actions to be to punch another player, go for it
WORDS FROM BOWLDAWG: please leave feedback in double parentheses, like this ((I have several questions)) so we dont get confused with actual gameplay. rules can be subject to change, as inconsistencies can be brought up.
