Hello, Azrael.
Thank you so much for signing up for Taief. Below, you'll find your starting scenario. If you find that you need additional help, or if you just aren't sure what to do next, feel free to visit our forums. In the text beneath your starting scenario, you'll find all sorts of information about your character. This game uses a very common sense approach. If your character is hungry, search for something to eat. If you're cold, search for warmth. Each status has a three-strike approach. You'll go from hungry to starving, to dying of hunger, etc. If you ignore a status effect for three scenarios, the consequences could be fatal.
Good luck, player, and may your efforts find survival.
A bell tolls from some elevated position stirring you from a deep and comfortable sleep. At first, the slow, heavy, ringing reminds you of the church from your small home-town. Your eyes snap open, your mind fills with panic, you realize you have no idea where you are. The cobble-stone streets and tightly packed brick buildings look nothing like the air-force base you were stationed in in Africa. This is more European, more civilized, nothing like what you remember. Your stomach rumbles, you feel the dryness in the back of your throat begging a cough to come forward, but then your military training kicks in. Light footsteps, heavy leather on stone, can be heard from some place close by and you gently, quietly, take to your feet. Instinctively, you head towards the shadows, into an alley-way, to get a better look.
Six men in dark colored clothing all huddle around a campfire in the distance, straining your eyes, you can see that they're armed with some sort of rifle. Curiosity peaks inside your mind, and had it not been for instinct and training, your thoughts would have begged you to take a closer look.
What do you do?

AZRAEL- Search houses around (for clothes, weapons etc.) avoiding the men.
Hello, Azrael.
Keeping to the shadows, you sneak through a winding alleyway towards a nearby house and pause at the front door. Slowly, deliberately, you test the handle and upon trying to open it, you hear a very quiet sound from the entrance way. An almost imperceptible "pop". You freeze in place, knowing you've just triggered something, and keep your hand perfectly still on the handle of the door, not wanting some trap to spring forward. Panicked, you feel coldness reaching its icy fingers deep into your bones and you jaw starts to quiver. You stomach groans loudly.

Your character is very hungry. Your character is very thirsty. Your character is shivering (naked).
AZRAEL - Slowly back away from the door and approach the men, ask them for supplies, food, drinks, and clothes. Purpose an alliance with them.
Hello, Azrael.
After pausing for a moment, recognizing your dire need for warmth, food, and water. You decide to take the risk of backing away from the door. The moment you let go of the handle, a deafening sound explodes through the night. Ball bearings, hot metal fragments, and splinters of wood burst towards you in an explosion of light and fire. A minute of shock passes, and you accept death's warm embrace.
Oh, no! Your character has died. A full transcript of events (your email address will be excluded) will be posted on our forums for other players to learn from. In order to start again, simply fill out the form at www.taiefgame.com to create a new character. Don't worry, this happens, and I wish you better luck next time!
