RPS Arena

Big fat rat: Yeh, yeh. Welcome the Rock Paper Scissors Arena! The most exciting sports event in town. ... Wait, you don't have no arms? You've got to have the right kind of claws and palms to play the game, I'm afraid. [[Walk away disappointly]] Because you are testing the game, you can also [[fast-forward to the end of this conversation->not afraid]]

You see a little rat in the corner [[Look at the little rat]]

Little Rat: Why are you here? You don't talk? Wait, I know what you are thinking. [[(Curious)->(You know?)]]

Little Rat: You don't have claws to play the game. I know how you feel. Look, I don't get to play either. [[(Curious)->(Why not?)]]

Little Rat: I know what you are thinking. Why can't I play? Because I don't have friends. It takes 6 rats to form a team. [[(Curiouser)->(Why don't you have friends?)]]

Little Rat: I used to have friends. But they all get scared. Because they say I can read their minds. [[(Curiouser)->(How is this sacry)]]

Little Rat: They could hide no secrets from me. Bill stole a candy last time, and I knew it. And Julie never brushs her teeth before bed. I knew it too. Are you not afraid of me? [[(No)->not afraid]]

Little Rat: I have an idea. We can team up! If you can find 5 other rats to join our team, you can be our coach. { (if:$rats is 0)[ (set: $rats to 1) (set: $unlocked to (a: "901 - Little Rock (Rock): nothing special", "902 - Ordinary Rock (Rock): nothing special", "903 - Plain Paper (Paper): nothing special", "904 - Blank Paper (Paper): nothing special", "905 - Useless Scissors (Scissors): nothing special", "906 - Blunt Scissors (Scissors): nothing special" )) (set: $pool to (a: "109 - Mind reader (None): Reveal opponent's element and select an element for your card" )) ] } You have $rats rats now { (if:$rats >= 6)[ [[(Ready to play)]] ] (else-if: $unlocked's length is >0)[ [[(look for a rat)]] ] }

Little Rat: This is great! We have a team now. (set: $level to 1) Big Fat Rat: Alright. A new team. I'll let you have a go. [[Play Tutorial Match]]

Big Fat Rat: Right, this is first time you play this game? I need you to run a few commands. Don't be afraid. This will be painlessssss. All you need to do is copy and paste the spells in blue blocks to your console. First let's reset the deck to tutorial level: (text-colour:white)+(bg:blue)[@RPS, set deck 9-12] [[Done ->Check deck]]

Any time, if you want to check what cards you have in your deck, use this command: (text-colour:white)+(bg:blue)[@RPS, decks] Why don't you do it now?
