The Survival Rations System can seem a little intimidating even for users who understand how ProBoards Monetary System and Monetary Shop work. The basic rundown of this system is to provide you a more challenging experience. This website is a realistic survival style website in which users struggle to survive.
How it works: When you first start an account you will be awarded 200 rations to start. These rations are used to purchase Character Slots, Character Templates and Supplies for your Character. Everytime you post in the Quarantined or Safe Zone you will receive 5 for each post you make. is the symbol for Rations, think of it like a type of currency.
It is required that you purchase items from the shop in order to use them. In any apocalyptic situation you cannot survive for more than:
3 minutes without air 3 hours without shelter
3 days without water 3 weeks without food.
Seeing as how your character is in this type of situation once three days have begun to pass in your story, you had either have already drank water, drink water, or begin the process of dehydration and then death. This is an example and should be taken into consideration with air, food and water as well. Your character needs these or will suffer the consequences.
So you have Rations and are not sure how to purchase items? Well head on over to the Trade Post and speak to the Shopkeeper. He has a plethora of items waiting for you to check out. Once you find what you like add the item to your sack and pay the Shop Keep. Then you go about your merry way.
You have the items until you use them. When you use them be sure to tag the ShopKeeper or any of the Admins so that we can take the items out of your profile. Having to cut this short, will update soon. Note to myself, talk about RPG integration.
