TOGETHER WE RIDE
>What is it?
Play Fire Emblem together with other people you don't know on a grid and get (generally) fucked up. Work with other anons to get as far ahead into the story as possible using one unit per anon.
>What the fuck?
It's time for strategic grid-based ACTION. The rules are simple: one person controls one unit at a time and the host controls the lord. Assemble an ANON ARMY (play as anime characters!), equip with EPIC GEAR and LEAD THEM INTO BATTLE. Raise your own personal unit - but be careful with your decisions, or it might just die! (second chances available while replacements last.)
>Why play it?
It's an unexpectedly nice format. The game will be FE7 Randomized, with tacthack and other goodness as backup should something go wrong.
>When is it?
STARTING THIS FRIDAY 5 PM UTC https://time.is/UTC ALL WEEKEND
SETUP
>1. Download mednafen with roms: https://files.catbox.moe/r38zw0.zip
>2. Unpack, drag rom of choice over mednafen.exe to launch it with that (playgaem.bat is provided for your enjoyment)
>3. Press ALT+SHIFT+1 to set up the controls. There can be two buttons assigned to one input. Use the same button for first and second prompt if only one is desired. Try not to assign "t" and "Enter" to anything.
>4. Press t to open a chat menu, type in /connect ny.yuribacon.com and press enter. To rename yourself, use /nick [NAME]. To activate controls, use /dupe 1 .
>5. Play the game
FIRE EMBLEM INSTRUCTIONS: HOW TO FUCK UP IN STYLE
>0. The host controls all lords and deploys as few of them as possible.
>1. Every anon is assigned one unit of their choice when they join from the ones not claimed by others. They can only deploy and control that unit. Move around, trade, etc etc. Use chat to call dibs on units.
>2. If a new unit joins in the middle of a stage (as a reinforcement, etc, etc), that player can assign that unit to himself. If he does, he controls that unit alongside the one that he started the stage with during that stage - effectively controlling two units at once. Next stage, he can only deploy the new unit as usual.
>3. If people can't come to a consensus over who gets what item (stat booster, etc, etc), the host reserves the right to have the final say.
>4. We'll probably fucking die not even quarter of the way in. Game overs mean restarting the stage from the beginning. Do your best!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
>Rompack contains various other roms to play after we finish FE7 Randomizer. There will be a poll and people will be able to vote on the next game.
>If you've played PSX Multitap gamenight, Mednafen version is the same (1.31), you can get away with using your setup. Linux autists can use wine or get this version somewhere by themselves. Use roms from the archive.
>In an unlikely event in which host can't attend, people are invited and encouraged to play some Advance Wars 2 multiplayer. It's not likely, but it's there just in case.
>Press F1 to display help.
