You can't combine two different objects. For example "Holy Lance" is a very specifc object and "Kain" is another very specific object. You cannot combine these into "Kain's Holy Lance."

The grey area here, is of course, costume peices. Things like "Firion's Rose" are pretty important in the GAMES and should be considered fair game. Something like "Cloud's Hair" will result in point loss and is NOT acceptable.

Things that are acceptable are items like "Cloud's Sword", "Cid's Airship", etc.. because these have specific names and are interchangable with "Buster Sword" and "Highwind" respectively. If you pick one, either guess is correct.

If you think people are going to riot about your choice, then don't do it.

Once you have chosen an object you must PM me so that I can OK it. Because I will know everyone's objects I will be able to help answer questions.

I've added a list of terms to the first page. If someone asks "Is it TERM" the only possible answers are YES or NO. Don't explain your answer or try to throw people off. Just Yes or No, I've defined each term completely so there should be no gray area.

If someone asks "Is it in all 3D Final Fantasies", and you object is "Cid" don't say NO because Cid isn't in Dissidia. Or, likewise, if someone asks "Is it in Dissidia" don't says YES because Cid is a player icon.

Same goes for anything else. Use the definition of the term as it applies to Final Fantasy. I'll try to add things to the dictionary as we move along, but again, use common sense.

If a question does not apply to your object answer NO and say that the question does not apply. If yo're object is "One Winged Angel" and someone asks "Is it bigger than a watermelon?" You answer should look like this: "Bigger than watermelon? No. Does not apply".

If you don't know the answer to a question, make this your reply: Is it specific to a stage? YES/NO, but I'm not sure, I think its YES/NO and then add an extra question to the list.

When answering question, be ABSOLUTELY sure that you are answering correctly. If you change your answer later, via an edit, you FORFEIT your turn and LOSE 1000GP. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

If you answer a question wrong, you will lose 1000GP. If you are unsure of what a question is asking, clarify this BEFORE answering the question. If you can't answer a question don't. Talk it out in the thread.

Any confusion will be blamed on the person answering the questions. If things get confusing, clear it up, or you lose points.

This is for my sake with keeping track of AP.

Unless someone specifies a Final Fantasy title, assume they are asking about all of them. For exmaple, if your object is the "Ragnarok" and someone asks "Is it a Summon" the answer is "Yes" because it was a summon in Final Fantasy VI. If they ask "Is it a summon in Final Fantasy VII," then answer "NO".

No "List Questions"! You can't be like:

Is it any of the following: Sephiroth, Odin, Balamb Garden, a member of ShinRa, or a physical thing?

A bit exaggerated, but you get my point.

Explained in the First Post

Whenever you gain AP, it will be added to your total. You can use AP by PMing me or posting in this thread and telling me how you would like to allocate points. You can only use AP on your current Job.

Again, PM me or post in this thread and I will change your Job at the beginning of the next round. You can only change to jobs you have unlocked.

Everyone starts with Warrior, Black Mage, White Mage, and Thief unlocked. To unlock new classes you must MASTER these basic classes. Your current job class will be bolded in the scoreboard.

To learn inherent skills you must put AP into a Job Class. You will learn skills in the order they are listed. Similar skills do not stack (except in the case of the Onion Knight's skills). The skills you learn in a particular Job Class can only be used while you are that Job Class.

When you MASTER a job it will be listed on the scoreboard. You will also learn the indicated skill. MASTERed skills can be used while you are a different Job Class. However, you may only have one MASTERed skill on at once (except in the case of the Onion Knight). Your current current MASTERed skill will be bolded in the scoreboard.

The Thief's stealing abilities can only be used on people trying to guess the object. You cannot invoke steal on the person who chooses the object

In order to activate the Warrior's question adding skills two 'yes' questions must be asked in a row and the person asking the second question must be the one with the skill. Meaning that someone w/o the skill can get a 'yes' answer and then as long as the next person asks a 'yes' question and has the appropriate skill, the skill will be activated. The same person does not need to get two 'yes's in a row and likewise, the skill is not activated if just any two people get 'yes's in a row. Finally, the skill can be "chained" -- meaning if there are three 'yes's in a row then the skill would be activated twice. You do not need to get another 2 'yes's in a row.

The AP multiplier skill works differently. This skill is based only on the person with the skill. As long as they keep getting 'yes's the multiplier is active. Other people can ask questions in-between and their answers will not affect the Warrior's multiplier in any way.

The word "sword" implies that the object is classified as a sword in at least one Final Fantasy game. This means that if it is classified as Katana or Knife then it is not a Sword. The one exception to this is Broadswords. Since Broad Swords are only in Dissidia, something that is a broadsword is also a sword. ie. the Hardedge is a sword and/or a broadsword.

A character is either a playable member of your party or an NPC that appears on the world map. Exceptions to this are things that are also Summons, Enemies, or Weapons. This means that though you can speak to Leviathan in FFIV, it is still a Summon.

The term "limit" refers to all the final attacks through the Final Fantasy series. FFVI's random limit breaks, FFVII and FFVIII's Limit Breaks, FFIX's Trances, FFX's Overdrives, and Dissidia's EX Bursts. If you want to specify one of these particularly please reference the proper term and say that you are being specific.

Anything that appears in the Item list of any game that cannot otherwise be classified as a Weapon, Armor, Accessory, Magic, Summon, etc... in the same game. Shurikens and other throwable/non-equippable items are considered Items. Key Items are also types of Items

A good rule for "physical" is that you can see it and touch it. The only things that aren't physical are ideas, songs, etc... Things that are physical include: the Buster Sword, Firaga, Super Nova. Things that aren't physical include: FFIV's Theme Song, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, the "Fight" command.

An action is anything exclusive to menus during a fight. Actions include: Item, Black Magic, Run, Summon, Throw etc... Things that aren't actions are: Potion, Blizzard, Bahamut, Excalibur.

The object was "Dancing Mad". I picked the song (from FFVI), forgetting that it is also one of Kefka's weapons in Dissidia. That one ended up being tricky (for me too)

I'll quietly pick another object now...

1. Updated the dictionary, so take a look at that. (please pay particular attention to "Action" and "Physical"

quote BrokenKnights

2. I want some feedback on the game so we can make it more enjoyable. Just let me know if you have any ideas/complaints/compliments.

quote BrokenKnights

3. I wanna do some kind of fun thread opening ritual to bolster people's AP count. Ideas?

Does a location count as physical?

quote ViperSean

You name a category of object and everyone lists as many objects that fall into that category as possible. Players receive bonus AP for each object they mention that someone else hasn't said before them. The amount of AP earned per object would depend on how broad the category is (more broad = less AP per object).

Optionally, limit each Player to one post per bonus round so they have to deposit their list all at once - "Do I spend more time thinking/searching for more objects and risk someone else posting before me?"

quote Tifabelle

I think using the term to include locations and characters makes it hard to differentiate among all these completely different things.

quote Tifabelle

The only problem that I have (and I've seen it so far in the game) is that someone like me whose played every FF has somewhat of an advantage over someone else who maybe has only played one or two games. I don't have any ideas on how to fix this (cause I'm dumb), but I wonder if there's a way to balance this out.

I think the current definition is a perfectly effective way of narrowing it down. From physical object, you go to living thing or not, and from not physcial object, you go to asking action, song, gameplay element, etc. There's already a lot sub-categories of things that aren't physical objects; it's large enough as is.

quote ViperSean

Well, I seem to be keeping up just fine, despite having only played four games and finished zero. Just putting that out there.
