        History
        of this PBEM 
        It was the year 1998, Alex Shen created an anime RPG
        called High Schools United, he recruited several players
        to play it, of course I am among one of them, but that's
        not the important thing. Anyway, as Alex is still a
        student and is constantly pressured with homework and
        tests, he found it hard to maintain the PBEM, so he
        decides to call it quits. But the some players decided to
        go on and took over the PBEM, they are Akira
        and Elfere... 
        The first
        site of High Schools United. 
         
        Intro 
        Every school district has their own share of schools.
        Each rivaling each other in a certain way. Some may rival
        each other through sports, such as football or
        basketball. But there is no way to explain the sheer fun
        and joy of beating the crap out of other students from
        your rival school.  
        You'll take
        on the role of any type of character you can make up.
        Every month, a story will be posted. There will be a new
        type of story each month. There will be a setting set for
        each month. All actions will be held within the e-mails
        sent.  
         
        Gameplay is simple. The game master will pass out the
        story to all of those attending that month's rpg game.
        Then the actions will have to be sent to the game master
        and to the people who that section of the story pertains
        to. There is no order it has to go in. It's more so first
        come first serve basis. You send an e-mail faster than
        another character pertaining to the same subject, you're
        action goes into play and the other is nulled. 
         
         
        Information
        Package on Sakura School District 
        When Alex Shen created this, there were three schools; Gundori, Huriyoko and Korrina High. However, due to the fact that the playing environment is too big. I decided recently (13/03/2000), that the three school shall integrate into one. Sumida High School shall be it's name. There may be further adjustments to the game later, we'll see. If you got any suggestions, email me and I'll gladly consider it. 
         
        Goals: 
        Possibly the main goals of this anime-type pbem rpg is to
        re-create the experience of high schools and to
        provide enjoyment through one's imagination. The other
        goal is to hopefully have other anime otakus meet more
        anime otakus. It's a whole friend celebration!  
         
         
        School
        Code 
        Rules 
        
            1
                Player per 1 RPG character. You can only have
                one, this way the game will move faster. 
             
            E-mails
                must be responded within 2-3 days. If you can not
                do so, please message me of the problem and why.
                This way we will have a way to tie in the story
                when you return. 
             
            No
                profanity. That mostly pertains to the
                crazy-arssed swearing. If you need to do so, just
                represent it with a bunch of symbols (i.e.:
                *&@#%!!!!). 
             
            If
                there is any problems caused by any player, such
                as harrassment and such, they will be booted from
                the rpg. 
             
            Players will send their part of the story to the PBEM mailing list. The address is highskool@egroups.com 
             
         
        Rules of
        the Game: 
        Now the game goes as this. The GM will e-mail all the
        current players on updates on the story so they can add
        more. All story additions will be based on a first come
        first serve basis. Players are free to e-mail each other
        to discuss joint stories, as described above.  
         
        That's how gameplay works, and the story will usually end
        at the end of the month or so.
