Major Events

Von Braun is the Gundam equivalent of the city. It's freaking huge, and anybody who is anybody goes there in their time off. Thusly, there are special rules for this city, to essentially make it act like a game in itself. If you go to Von Braun, you may participate in any of the mini-events listed in this page, under a few guidelines.

Essentially, think of this place as our version of FFVII's Gold Saucer.

Movement

Von Braun has 6 layers, which are labeled below. You can only exist in one layer at a time, and participate in events going on at the layer you are in, but you may move to and from any layer. Simply send me an email saying "I want to go to this layer". Some events you have to start on the layer in question to do, others you can move to and then participate in.

Credits

Everybody who is currently in Von Braun will have a number of Credits, and this will also be listed below. Credits can be used to participate in events, or they can be exchanged for RP at a rate of 100 credits to 1 RP. Once you leave Von Braun in the actual RPG, all your credits will instantly be transferred over to RP, and any left over will be lost.

Events

Events are simple. You can participate in them. Some will take the forms of events and sidequests and might net your character actual gains (more of these will be available to Rogues than Federal and Zeon members), while others might actually be fun. Some will be written events just like battles in the game, others may very well be things like "Play a game of Counterstrike against Vlad, you get 200 credits if you win", or something. There will also be a list of events below.

How this works with the actual game

While your character is doing these things, he still exists in the OYW reality. You can still make actions, you can still RP, you can still do all of that. The only thing is that while you're on Von Braun, you can do these things too. The only exception to this rule is that you cannot participate in any events if you battle somebody, either out of your mobile weapon (explained below), or in it.

Fighting

Two characters who exist in the same level of Von Braun can fight. This is basically the OYW equivalent of a mugging. If you wish to attack somebody and steal their credits, simply send an email to me saying you wish to move to their location and mug them. If you win the battle, you will gain all of their credits. If you lose, you will be placed in Von Brauns brig, which works exactly like being captured by an opposing side. VP will be used for 'experience' for these types of fights.

And, with all of those rules, here is Von Braun.

The Arcade
Must end day at "Arcade" location to participate
May participate at any time
Cost: 25 credits per game

Von Braun sponsers one huge Arcade, and here's how it works. Any time a number of PCs want to do this event, they pick a game from the following list, and play it together. The winner then sends me a screenshot of the outcome. If a PC wins the game, they recieve 100 credits for every PC that was participating in the event. The following are the list of games at this arcade. No cheating is allowed in these games. A PC may play up to 5 games per day.

Warcraft and its variants
Starcraft
Age of Empires and its variants
Diablo (character duels only)
Diablo II (character duels only)
War of the Ring
Command and Conquer and its variants
Sudden Strike and its variants

Mobile Suit Simulator
Must end day at "Arcade" location to participate
May participate at any time
Cost: 100 credits per game

Von Brauns Arcade has a realistic mobile suit simulator, that lets you blow up Saberfish in a Zaku I. You may play this game up to 5 times a day like the Arcade games, and each time you play you will gain 1 VP.

An honest days work
Must begin day at Zeon Embassy if ZMF, EF Embassy if EFF, or Factory if Rogue

Theft

Try to do a little thievery in addition to your normal routine. If you succeed, you'll get anywhere from 50-500 credits, based on where you try. If you fail, you'll get nothing, and may even be thrown in jail. Rogues and people with the Operative specialization get a bonus here.

Gambling
Must end day in Casino
