PERIL DICE GAME - OFFICIAL RULES
Created by Rebecca Nod and Noose the Bunny
Original concept by Noose the Bunny (djmusica28) in Second Life
===============================================================================
OBJECTIVE
Be the last player standing! Survive the deadly dice rolls while others fall
to elimination. Only one can claim Ultimate Victory!
===============================================================================
SETUP
Players:
- 2-10 players can join the game
- Bots available for testing and variety
- Owner participation - game owner can play too!
Starting Conditions:
- Each player begins with 3 lives (hearts)
- One player is randomly selected as the Peril Player
- Dice type automatically chosen based on player count
===============================================================================
GAMEPLAY PHASES
1. Ready Phase
- All players (except game starter) must mark themselves "Ready"
- Game starter can begin once everyone is prepared
- No joining allowed once the killing game begins!
2. Number Picking Phase
Players pick numbers based on the Peril Player's remaining lives:
| Peril Player's Lives | Numbers Each Player Must Pick |
|---------------------|-------------------------------|
| 3 lives | 1 number |
| 2 lives | 2 numbers |
| 1 life | 3 numbers |
Picking Order:
1. Peril Player picks first
2. All other players pick in sequence
3. No duplicate picks - each number can only be chosen once per round
3. Dice Rolling Phase
- Peril Player rolls the dice
- Result determines everyone's fate!
- Roll is displayed on the game board for all to see
4. Resolution Phase
Three possible outcomes based on the dice roll:
PLOT TWIST!
- Someone OTHER than the Peril Player picked the rolled number
- That player becomes the new Peril Player
- No lives lost this round
- Game continues with new Peril Player
DIRECT HIT!
- The Peril Player picked their own rolled number
- Peril Player loses 1 life
- If they survive, they remain the Peril Player for next round
NO SHIELD!
- Nobody picked the rolled number
- Peril Player loses 1 life
- No protection from other players' picks
5. Elimination
- Players with 0 lives are eliminated from the game
- Eliminated players cannot return
- Game continues with remaining survivors
6. Victory
- Last player standing wins!
- Winner Glow Celebration (NEW in v2.8.6): Winner gets bright green glow
on both scoreboard and floater
- Extended Victory Display: 24-second celebration timer before game reset
- Victory Text: Winner's floater displays "ULTIMATE VICTORY!" and
"ULTIMATE SURVIVOR"
- Victory celebration with confetti effects!
- Winner's name recorded on the leaderboard
===============================================================================
DICE SCALING SYSTEM
The game automatically selects appropriate dice to ensure fair gameplay:
| Number of Players | Dice Type | Total Numbers Available |
|------------------|-----------|------------------------|
| 1-2 players | d6 | 6 numbers (1-6) |
| 3-4 players | d12 | 12 numbers (1-12) |
| 5-6 players | d20 | 20 numbers (1-20) |
| 7-10 players | d30 | 30 numbers (1-30) |
This ensures exactly 3 numbers per player are always available
===============================================================================
DRAMATIC ANNOUNCEMENTS
The game features thematic messaging for maximum immersion:
- "[Player] has entered the deadly game! Welcome to your potential doom!"
- "[Player] steels themselves for the deadly challenge ahead!"
