Questions

[DA 2009]

I have a question about the strength points. So, basically your average prelimary RP score, or your first RP score in the game if you did not RP, acts as your starting amount of strength points. Now, i'm under the impression that only Combat days impact this strength level, with a +2/+4 or -2/-4. If so, then the RP's we make outside of combat days serve only as our own amusement? And to survive in terms of dusting related deaths? Or do our non-combat day RPs have some impact on our survival in this game?

There is an additional aspect to the Point Value, which is the RP Score. The RP Score acts like a "boost" to your Point Value.

RP SCORE

Each role-play you make, whether it’s inside or outside of a Fight, will be given a numerical score ranged from 1-10 judged by me based on their quality. Multiple posts will have their scores averaged among them. This will result in your “RP Score.” Half of that score will be added to your Point Value during a Fight as an added “boost.” The score will reset after every Fight judgment, and start from zero. For example, let’s say Raditzu made two posts after the game started, and made one more post for his Fight. His scores were 7, 4, and 9. The average is 6.6, and cut in half that’s 3.3, which is rounded down to 3. If his Point Value is 7, then his RP Score of 3 is added onto that to make a total Point Value of 10, which is what is used for his Fight judgment. After the Fight, his RP Score is reset to 0 and his Point Value goes back to 7, meaning his next role-plays will contribute to his RP Score for the next Combat Day.

You do not, however, need to know this information in order to play, as it will be my responsibility to keep track of RP Scores and Point Values.

While it may not sound like a lot, a few extra points to your Point Value may make a difference in your fight. It may save you from losing or being eliminated, or it may help you win or give you the edge you needed to make a kill.

Role-plays serve the functions of movement, bunker entrance, RP Score, and help me judge fights. Judging is two-fold: Point Value + RP Score, and role-play quality in a comparative sense to who you are fighting.
