<pre style="font-size:100%"> ============================================================================== ========== SBURB In Town - An FAQ ========== ========== By SympathyDevil ========== ========== Version 0.1 ========== ============================================================================== Yeah, that's right. I got better things to do than mess around with ASCII art. CONTENTS: 1. Disclaimer 2. Overview 3. FAQ ========== DISCLAIMER ========== This FAQ covers only what I've learned about the SBURB game so far. It may not be entirely accurate. It may not be accurate at all. The longer I play, the more you'll get from me, cause I'm talking to a lot of other people right now and trying to collate everything. ========== OVERVIEW =========== SBURB is a game for 2-9 players. It's a weird upper cap, because the game works by connecting each player to two other players in a long chain of computers. Not sure what happens if you try to connect a tenth player. Maybe it crashes? We're gonna test that out later. Once the game installs, you have to pair off into SERVERS and CLIENTS. Clients run around their house getting things together, and Servers can look into their client's house somehow and help them out. Or mess with them. Kind of your call on that one. Each Client also acts as a Server to another player. So that's the 2-9 player loop that you put together. Don't know what happens if you try to install the game and be your own server, but I expect it would be, at best, very hard. Why make a Region 9 FAQ? Well, let's face it, these other FAQs are being made in places that aren't entirely real anymore. How useful will that be? ========= FAQ ========== Q) What's with these things dropping all over my house? A) The game seems to facilitate delivery of quite a lot of advanced machinery almost instantly. They're used to go further into the game, I think. They are being dropped all over your house at the request of your Server player, who is using in-game currency ("build grist") to order things from the SBURB servers. The first thing that you get on installing is a Cruxtruder, which is some kind of giant machine that your server player will drop in front of your doorstep (thanks MysticQuest!) Your first task is to pry the thing open, at which point a countdown timer starts. Mine is at about six hours, but I just talked to someone who said theirs was only one hour, so I dunno what's up with that. Q) So what happens when the countdown ends? A) I don't know yet. I'll get back to you in an hour. Q) There are a lot of rats hanging around all of a sudden. A) Yeah... that's definitely a thing. While I was trying to get my cruxtruder open, I looked outside and there were, like, a dozen rats just sitting on my front lawn. I went out to ask them what was up, and one of them told me they were looking for a thief. Didn't specify what got stolen. Something the rats own, I guess. Then he said that he was very sorry, I guess for bothering me, and then they all left. I figured it was just a coincidence, but a bunch more showed up outside MysticQuest's house, too. So I don't know what's up with that. Maybe they're in tune with the signals the game uses? Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much. They always leave after a few minutes. Q) Is this game magic? A) I doubt it. I mean, yeah, the delivery times are really impressive on this stuff. But that's just a really efficient postal service. Who would have the time to make an entire magic game, and why would you bother? Q) What's with this seizure kernel? A) Don't stare into the seizure kernel. (More Q&A to come!) </pre>
