You play one character of the Force.
As it would take too much time waiting for everyone to post his moves, moves are computed thanks to
the same AI program that computes ennemy moves. This will allow the battles to go fast so that every
body can play.
Then how will I play?
Playing will be performed by posting a various number of OBJECTIVES for your character. The number of
objectives your character can perform will depend of his/her INTelligence stat. Among these objectives
, one may found:
ATTACK at will: The character will attack the closest ennemy character.
AIM for boss: The character will rush on the ennemy boss.
GAIN Experience: The character will do the best in order to gain Exp. (Attack weak foes, heal ...).
PROTECT friendly character: A warrior will stand in the way between foes and weak friendly characters>
A healer may a contrario heal a wounded friendly character.
CAUTIOUS ATTACK: The character will attack by trying to stay in the safest position (Defense bonus
from the ground, hide behind a stronger character, attack from long range, ...).
These are only a few possibilities. Let us watch an example.
This is a very simple example. Let us consider a flat ground with two friends
Melioch M and D'oepy D,
and Grey Ooze O1 and O2, looking like this.

Remarks
1/ You never know what ennemies' objectives are (but you will learn soon enough)
2/ Choosing an objective doesn't mean it will be performed, just a D'Oepy wins only one experience
point by attacking Ooze2. As well, picking SURVIVE doesn't mean you will actually survive.
3/ In turn4, choosing ATTack at will for D'Oepy would have led to exactly the same actions.
4/ This only a little example. Much more to come... As you gain intelligence, you'll learn more and more
objectives, more spells, you'll learn to change weapons for attacking from a safer place, ...
