Stealth Information


Please refer to this thread and the Stealing System whenever you'd like to attempt a steal or block a steal.



Stealth Attempt

Please use the following code to post a stealth attempt. Keep in mind that only Sovereigns, Regents, and Wardens are able to make a stealth attempt, and that they are limited to three attempts per calendar month.

Code:
<blockquote><blockquote>
<div class="tcat"><font style="font-size:20px; font-weight:bold;">Stealth Attempt</font></div>

<b>Name:</b> CHARACTER MAKING THE STEALTH ATTEMPT
<b>Court:</b> WHAT COURT ARE THEY IN
<b>Rank:</b> WHAT'S THEIR RANK (HAVE TO BE SOVEREIGN, REGENT, OR WARDEN)
<b>Attempt:</b> IS THIS THEIR FIRST, SECOND, OR THIRD STEALTH ATTEMPT IN THIS CALENDAR MONTH (1ST TO 31ST)?
<b>Guess Deadline:</b> THE COMPLETE DATE, 4 FULL DAYS FROM TODAY (@11:59 PM EST) - SO IF YOU POST ON 02/12 at 5PM, THE DEADLINE FOR ANYONE TO POST THEIR GUESSES IS ON 02/16 AT 11:59PM EST

YOUR RIDDLE HERE - MAKE SURE IT HAS AT LEAST 3 CLUES THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE CHARACTER'S PROFILE

</div></center>

Blocks

Please use the following code to block a stealth attempt.

Each court has a total of TEN possible block attempts, without any Extra Guesses:
  • Sovereigns get 3 attempts to block.
  • Regents and Wardens get 2 attempts to block each.
  • The rest of the Court populace has 3 additional attempts across the board. Discuss with other members to decide on who to block. Unless you are a Sovereign, Regents, or Warden, you cannot block for another character - only your character or their own children.

  • Sovereigns, Regents, and Wardens may use (1) Extra Guess each. 2 more may be used by the general populace, to total 5 per Court.

Code:
<blockquote><blockquote>
<div class="tcat"><font style="font-size:20px; font-weight:bold;">Block</font></div>

<b>Name:</b> CHARACTER BLOCKING THE STEALTH ATTEMPT
<b>Court:</b> WHAT COURT ARE THEY IN
<b>Rank:</b> WHAT'S THEIR RANK (HAVE TO BE SOVEREIGN, REGENT, WARDEN, PARENT, OR SELF)
<b>Items Used:</b> IF ANY (LIKE EXTRA GUESS)
<b>Protecting:</b> WHAT CHARACTER ARE YOUR PROTECTING FROM BEING STOLEN - LINK TO THEIR PROFILE PLEASE

<b>BREAK DOWN THE RIDDLE HERE</b>
Bold the lines from the riddle and put your explanation beneath each line

<b>RIDDLE LINE HERE</b>

Revealing Target

Please use the following code to to reveal who your target was (after the four day Reveal Deadline has passed). Staff will then post whether your attempt was successful or a failure.

Code:
<blockquote><blockquote>
<div class="tcat"><font style="font-size:20px; font-weight:bold;">Target Reveal</font></div>

<b>Target:</b> CHARACTER YOU'RE TRYING TO STEAL
<b>Court:</b> WHAT COURT ARE THEY IN
<b>Rank:</b> WHAT'S THEIR RANK

<center><div class="highlight" style="width:725px;">

<b>BREAK DOWN THE RIDDLE HERE</b>
Bold the lines from the riddle and put your explanation beneath each line

<b>RIDDLE LINE HERE</b>
Your explanation here

</div></center>

Item Usage

After staff have made their final judgement, you have three days to use any items. Please use the following code to use these items. All items must be purchased before you post its use. Once an item is used, it will be removed from your account, as it is single-use only.

  • If the attempt was successful and the target not blocked, members may use a Stealth: Avoidance item to avoid a successful steal.

  • If the stealth was blocked, the stealer may use a Stealth: Override item to make a successful steal anyway.

    • Stealers may not use Stealth: Override if the stealth was deemed unsuccessful by staff.

  • Extra Guesses must be used during the 4 day blocking period, not afterwards during the 3 day item usage period.

Code:
<blockquote><blockquote>
<div class="tcat"><font style="font-size:20px; font-weight:bold;">Using Item</font></div>

<b>Item:</b> EITHER AVOIDANCE OR OVERRIDE

Stealth Example


We know an example would be extremely helpful when first getting into stealing and blocking! We will update this post with an example as soon as we have one. Until then, feel free to ask the staff if you have any questions or concerns at all!
