Deciding to try my hand at concocting a forum game myself now.
THERE'S A WAR! A full-out conflict between all of the users, and only one of these users shall survive in the end! You can pick one character to use to act as your representative fighter, and as such, you're even able to make some short IC RP posts (even one-liners are okay) to describe their interactions. It's not necessary, but encouraged to get those creative juices flowing!
Here's how it works.
Each player has a limit of 10 health, and they start with 10 health. As such, their cap is 10/10. Now, each player must respond to the above post with three actions: Heal, Do Nothing, or Attack.
Heal:
Your character will be able to heal the above character for 1 health point, but will be forbidden to heal if the above character's health is already at the maximum capacity.
Do Nothing:
Exactly what it says on the tin. However, there is a serious drawback to sparing your maximally-healed friend or decidedly ambivalent above poster from damage - if you choose to do nothing, your character will take the sacrifice of taking two health points of damage as opposed to one if the following character chooses to attack you. You have to make quite a tough decision if you want to preserve the life of your friend and risk damaging yourself two times over, or make the attack to save your own skin (for the most part, at least.)
Attack:
Removes one health point from the above poster, obviously! Furthermore, if the above poster decided to do nothing in that post, your character does double damage!
A clear example is:
Player A: 10/10 Health
Did nothing to harm/heal the above player!
Player B: 9/10 Health
Attacked Player A! Player A is down to 8/10 health because they did nothing.
Of course, you don't always have to type such a dull post since your characters will actually be interacting.
If you've understood everything, great! If not, try to read it through again. I'll start!

Garci: Wait, what? Where am I? What's going on? Is this an.. arena?
Action: Starts the thread by waking up in a strange, new arena. Come on, it'd be silly and unfair to have him Do Nothing and risk getting damaged twice over!
