Always Low Prices, Always Faithful
The Cult of the Smiling One - The Fifth Canticle - Smiles Be Upon Sam


" Welcome to Wal-World Sector 14-A-Delta! We hope that you enjoy your stay here! Please go to the Customer Service desk if you have any questions. For inquiries about Wal-Coupon deals...." It's a wonder that the PA is still working. You're sprinting down an aisle, the only sound you can hear are your thumping heartbeats and heaving breathes. The loud thumps make you realise that it's coming closer. Scrambling yourself up onto a shelving unit, you hide behind the boxes. You've heard rumors about Sekyuritee drones. No one ever manages to describe how they look like because no one ever manages to live and tell the tale. A metal behemoth ponderously creaks down the hallway, metal joints buckling and bending to support its gargantuan weight.

You close your eyes, hoping that the Great Sam is watching over you right now. Grasping the handles of your plunger with your sweaty hands, red light runs down the cracks of the shelves, intruding into the safe harbor of the shadow, Sekyuritee bearing down upon you,





The Wal is everywhere. The Wall is everything. The Wal is eternal. The Wal is all.

In the distant future, monolithic superstores the size of small countries lay unblemished on the ruined and blasted landscape of the Old World after the collapse of civilization. Within these colossal wrecks lie the last bastions of human society. For a period of time, these pockets of humanity were scattered, eking out a harsh and weary existence within the confines of the Wal, scavenging from its shelves. Eventually, enclaves of human survivors known as Departments began to form within the confines of the Wal, each with their own unique culture, their own methods of surviving, of living. However, in spite of these miracles, there are still threats to contend with inside the Wal. The lunatic Cult of the Smiling One, dedicated to purging all non-believers and heretics to the Great Sam. Malfunctioning automatons who persist in carrying out their duties in the absence of customers. Horrific, mutated monstrosities from within the deepest depths and outside of the Wal. Violent, mindless Brand Gangs who terrorize, raid and kill innocent Shoppers.

Walmageddon: Shopping Spree is an roleplay that is based upon /tg/'s homebrew setting Walmart Apocalypse, which was further derived from a now sadly defunct Wizards of the Coast forum thread spanning hundred of pages long. Taking the concept of a supermarket arcologies to its most logical conclusion and dialing it up beyond safety regulations, the roleplay is set in a satirical mass-consumerist post-apocalyptic future where Walmart rose in prominence in both socio-economic and political power during the 21st century, spreading and outsourcing its facilities in every part of the globe. The corporation eventually became a sovereign power that was a virtual nation unto itself, with superstores around the globe that acted as miniature cities which could house millions of people. After a catastrophic war between the few federal third-world governments that were left standing and Wal-World, humanity was forever sealed within the giant stores that over generations, they would learn to call home.

You are a Lifter, a catch all term for scavenger for hire in the Wal. For whatever reason, you, along with a crew of several other Lifters, have been tasked with delivering a mysterious high value product from the Bargain Bin to an unknown department far away on the other side of the Wal. The risks are high but the payout is even higher. Will you make a story of your own amongst the thousands in the Wal or will you meet your end? The choice is yours.


$$$



TERMS AND CONDITIONS


Before you begin shopping at Walmageddon, please take a moment to consult our Terms and Conditions.

No rule-breaking behavior whatsoever that is in disregard of the rules of the Guild. Usual roleplaying standards also apply which means no god-modding, meta-gaming, twinking, cheesing, powerplaying or retconning. Doing these without the consent of the Wal-Master will most likely result in permanent expulsion of the player from the mart, depending on the circumstances.

There is no strict post length requirement in this RP other than "Don't give me a post where I can count the number of sentences with my two hands easily". A post of about three decently sized paragraphs is enough to satisfy me, though. If you can make a post in the format of a haiku, a poem or a rap work, then, do it. However, I am expecting posts that both move the narrative along as well as being detailed. My overall rule is that quality beats quantity but when they both go hand in hand, it's even better.

Likewise, there is no strict restriction for posting frequency. I am fully aware of my own hypocrisy when it comes to advocating weekly posts, and of the issues people face in IRL that may prevent them from posting. Therefore, when you are unable to post for a duration of time that may been seen as long, please inform me beforehand.

Character sheets can and will be rejected, depending on how well they compare with other applications. Remember that your character must be able to

Wheaton's law is in full effect, so, be friendly with one another and try to cultivate an atmosphere of shitposts and fun times in the OOC. If any drama occurs between members of this RP, keep it away from the OOC and take it to the PMs if you dearly want to win an internet forum battle.

Be aware of the 3 C's: Communication, Criticism and Cooperation. Discussing with each other, giving suggestions and offering criticism is the best way to ensure that no future problems pop up in this RP. If you have any problems with the way the Wal-Master handles things or have any questions about how to create your character, please PM me about it, or if you think it's serious enough, post it in the OOC.

If by some off chance you want to kill off your character and make a new one, go ahead. However, you can't make more than one character. Only the Wal-Master (me) is allowed to play a multitude of characters.

18+ content is allowed within this RP, as long as it serves its purpose and doesn't break the rules of the RP. Touching upon controversial themes carelessly could potentially result in the shopper's permanent expulsion from the RP which again depends on the circumstances.

Any player who joins this RP should be and willing to be open to the process of worldbuilding.


$$$



CUSTOMER IDENTITY TUTORIAL


Lastly, all shoppers should proceed towards Customer Service and begin the process of creating their very own custom Wal-World Customer Identity Card! Please be noted that the initial charge for purchasing your identity card is 50.50 Wal-Credits. Please exchange all foreign currency at your nearest Wal-Bank kiosk...

The Wal is open. Though, most of the OOC is still under construction, especially the Customer Service section, I am purposefully leaving it like that in order to collate suggestions from players onto how they believe the world should be constructed.

Please post your completed character sheets in the OOC first, so, that I can authorize them to be posted in the CS section.

I have also created a link to my very first Discord server ever in the first post of the OOC. You should be able to find it easily.

(Fairly self explanatory, though, be realistic. Anything less than 18 years old is pushing it mildly.)


Well darn there goes my plan to be Two Cool Kids With a Shopping Cart. Well, that and that I can't be Two of anything.

But for real, I just wanted to pin my interest for this, and that I'll have a CS out... soon-ish.

My character sheet is now officially up and that means I'm ready to start accepting characters. So, for now, these are the confirmations thus far. Regardless of whether or not your character is in a finished state, it's in a state where I can say is in a state of 'accepting while not in a finished state'.

You can post your character sheet in the Character Tabs in whatever state you feel like. If you want to post an unfinished version, be my guest, or you can put in the effort of posting a finished sheet.

Holy shit, I never thought I'd see someone actually try to do a Walmart Apoc RP. Definitely throwing my hat into the ring for this! Haven't been on in a while but this seems like a good place to start up again.
