Spice is an entirely forum based game with roleplaying aspects. So how do you play?

The storyline and basic plot will remain the same. The post is to give you an overview of what to expect in the game, as well as the plot line behind the story. You do not have to be involved in the overall plot unless you want to. Events and announcements concerning the plot will be made as announcements so members will be aware when something is occurring.

There wouldn't be any point to the game if you didn't have a child to play it with! Once you apply for a child, you will receive a message from your guardian on how to set up and get started!

Classes can be found throughout the kingdom. Basic classes can be easily found at school, whereas others will be located in various parts of the city (some of which you won't unlock until you advance in skills and talents). Classes will cost money and stamina, but they will raise your skills and talents, making it easier to complete adventures or even unlocking certain jobs.

In order to attend a class, comment on the [CLASS] thread with the required number of stamina for that class. Your guardian will then view the classes and reward you with the skill points or talent points that you earned. Be sure to remove your stamina points from your main post and keep track of your stamina and new skills/talents in your log post.

Taking a class will earn you experience in that class. You keep track of this in your characters job section. Once you have enough experience, you will 'level up'. Higher levels cost more, but they also reward you with more points or unlock new, advanced classes. Mastering a class will also earn you a badge in that class.

Class levels will be ranked with A+-F grades. You will start at F level. You will level up in the following order: F, D, C, B, A, A+. All classes will have this ranking. Once the class is mastered and the A+ ranking is reached, your child will always receive the maximum reward for that class. For an example of your child's class and jobs post, check here. For an example of how to attend a class, check here.

Once your guardian reviews your post, you will be rewarded in that thread. For an example of a class reward post, check here.

** ALL CLASSES ARE STICKIED POSTS UNLESS LINKED TO YOU IN PM BY A MODERATOR/ADMIN.

You're not going to get very far if you don't have funding. Jobs can be found all over the kingdom, and as you progress in job levels or skill levels, more will open up. There are multiple career tracks and more are always being added, so it's up to you and the other players to discover what's available!

Most jobs will have a leveling system and you'll earn experience towards the next level as you work. Job requirements vary from job to job.

Site events will happen randomly. Some will be open forever (such as the First Day of School event) and others will close/lock after a certain amount of time. Site events are not stickied, but they will be run by admins or moderators. Events will be announced when they occur in the New Features section.

For an example event, check out the First Day of School event. An example of how to participate is below the first post and the reward post follows. You may only participate in events once unless otherwise specified.

Adventures are still being worked on, but once they happen they'll have a D&D type feel where your characters combat skills will come in handy. Most adventures will be related to the plot in some way, unlike events which are usually just for fun.
