* Organized by Graphic-taku * Approved by Key ∎∎∎∎∎∎∎∎ Story ∎∎∎∎ Long,long time ago in Mountain Wakakusa there were two temples - Tadai-ji and Koufuku-ji. The land of peace and love once known is now the land of demons. People give birth to evil, their hearts can get greedy and mean. One thousand years ago two guardians started the war in order to get back the temples that once were ears for people's prayers. The legend says that whoever passes the bridge to that mountain will meet a demon. A demon more beautiful that any other goddess,but with merciless heart. And that someone will be given a choice: -"Human,choose your path.", the demon asked. The poor human being bowed head down and risked to give a false answer. But one he didn't know. There was no false answer. He instead chose the root to one of the temples. -"Tadai-ji.",he spoke. -"Very well," as the demon spread his long white mantle, the bridge got caught on fire, "How long the temple Tadai-ji exists in this fragile world?", he asked. The man got scared and distracted by the fire,he stuttered the answer, but it was incorrect. The price he had to pay - his life, but he made a deal with the demon. -"If in one thousand years there is not anyone who will answer to your questions correctly, then you can have my soul." The demon made a pause and laughed, -"Why should I wait for one thousand years when I can get what I want now?" The human rose his gaze and smiled, -"Because if you kill me now, no one will ever pass this bridge. Are you really ready for the curse of loneliness?" The answer shocked the demon and so there was a deal. -"If there is one single person in this world to answer to my questions, I will end the war.",a promise was made. ∎∎∎∎∎∎∎∎ How to play Yamayaki ∎∎∎∎ Imagine that the two temples are two bowls with notes inside. Each note has a question written on it. You will be asked to choose your path by the demon. When asked,you simply have to choose one of the temples' name - "Tadai-ji" or "Koufuku-ji". The questions are set in order,each temple has the limit of 50 questions. That makes 100 questions per the whole game. If you answer correctly, you can choose once again the path, which means to state one of the temples' name. If you answer incorrectly that will cost you 100 "mana points". Each player starts with 2000 mana points. When the 'mana' hits 0, you can "reload" it with your credit points. That means, if you give 100 credit points from yours, you will have 100 mana points. On each three correctly answered questions in a row you will receive 800 credit points. The winner of this game will be the one who has answered to more questions than the rest. P.S. Important is that you can answer only to your question, do not try to "steal" a question from other player. ∎∎∎∎∎∎∎∎ How to enter the game ∎∎∎∎ Here the sample how to, It's up to you whichever path you will choose. The questions are different from each path. Tadai-ji temple holds questions related to history and geography. Koufuku-ji temple holds questions related to legends/myths and terminology. Don't forget to write your current 'mana' points. We will be listing them down as well. If the questions are out of stock in one temple,you will automatically be receiving from the other temple. The game ends when all questions are revealed. ∎∎∎∎∎∎∎∎ Winner ∎∎∎∎ The winner will get 10,000 points + Yamayaki special card ∎∎∎ Additional ∎∎∎ You can use sources to help yourself for the questions. The goal of this game is to have fun,not to torture ourselves. (: Besides, you can learn something new.
