Help with the damage system

[Ominous]

Hello. I came to this site not too long ago, while brushing up some history with the previous Hunger Games forums, I've been trying to figure how exactly the damage system works when one fights another person.

I pretty much need help on everything around here. Don't know what it means by rolling the dice and how to properly use the damage calculator. Anyway, thanks! ^.^

Hey Ominous! This is how it works:

1. Refer to this. This is the Combat System Reference Info. Upon this page:

2. "Rolling the dice" means adding the code "dice=whatever" into your posts. In all the Hunger Games, you see that little white box. This is what the "dice=whatever" turns into. Copy and paste the code as you see on the Reference page without the asterisk and it will turn into that white box only on SOME forums on this website (Hunger Games and Battlefield).

3. The white box displays a 4-digit number. Scroll down on the same reference page and you can see the specific attack that was inflected upon another person along with the damage amount. Usually, during a battle, you add up the damage points but the Hunger Games allow some healing with food and medicine and the whatnot. Damage points add up and 40 cumulative is usually death. If you see "X" in the Reference page under damage points, it's an instakill "insta" which means you're dead.

The damage calculator on the sidebox is just a quicker way to calculate your damage.

Hope this helps!

Well, hey. You're pretty helpful. XD

I got some things down, but I still have one more question.

So, whenever I post an attack post and I put down the code in that post, and once I do that, the code will then take effect and give me a random attack. After that, I check the reference sheet for the number that was used which will then tell me the amount of damage I inflicted. And finally, I edit my attack post to include the amount of damage that my character inflicted for the sake of convenience for both other characters and the people help running the event. Is that about right?

Yup. (:
