It doesn't matter how you got here. Perhaps you're a predator who was forced into the Hold, perhaps you're a citizen of Fœnum who helped drive them here, or perhaps you're just a bipedal hairless ape behind a glowing rectangle. Regardless, you're now in the Hold, and the only thing to do is go up. No one knows how many floors there are in the hold. Some say it's endless, while others propose wild numbers such as 90,000. No one truly knows. The only thing anyone knows about the place is once you go up, you can never seem to go back down...
90,000 Floors of The Hold is inspired by a thread idea long ago on extremely exclusive forums that no longer exist today, and thus the original cannot be shown. (all that remains as proof of it's existence is this archived link to the thread itself) In an attempt to recreate the magic that was the original thread, I adapted the thread to an RP thread on another forums. Activity on the forums started dying, however, and the high-maintenance foundation I built the thread upon ground to a halt as a result. But I hope that now, with the knowledge of the original thread and the things I have learned in my previous attempt to capture lightning, I can at least bring back the semblance of the spark that made the original so entertaining.
But enough back story, let's get to the good stuff. In the 90,000 Floors of the Hold, you are trapped in an ever-changing labrynth of stairs where everything and anything is possible. (so long as it doesn't break the predetermined rules of the forums, of course) These floors are constructs of not only my imagination, but anyone else who wants to express their ideas as well. Each floor will be designed differently depending on the person building it. One may set up a single room with a prank, while someone else may set up a puzzle on the next floor. And on the floor above that, a monster might be ready to pounce that you'll need to fight to get to the next floor. Again, anything and everything can happen, so be on your toes.
Sound interesting? You on board? Great! Now let's lay down a few ground rules to keep SOME semblance of structure:
1. Every floor, someone else will have the chance to be the "architect". This person's character will be gone for the duration of their floor, and will be reappear on the next floor (assuming someone else is architect for that floor)
2. Everyone who is not the architect is considered a player. Players must wait until the architect of the floor has posted before they can explore that floor.
3. For the purposes of this thread, The Hold is to be considered a purgatory. While injuries are entirely possible, death never is.
4. To keep players from trying to interact with other inactive players, it is recommended that any player who knows they will have a long period of inactivity (about 24+ hours) verbally remove themselves from the game until further notice. This can be anything from vanishing in a puff of smoke to "And then the floor ate me."
And that should be it for now. I know that may have been a pretty big pill to swallow, but even if this doesn't quite turn out how I expect, I hope we can all still have some fun! See you back on the other side!
*and then the floor ate me*
