Game Method
The game is operated by KJC Games using several powerful computers and a massive set of computer programs and a database many megabytes in size. You should consider these the board or world in which your party adventures. You do not need a computer yourself to play Quest, but if you have one you may like to use it to keep track of the masses of information you will acquire during the game.
Players in Quest control their party using a number of instructions or orders. These are entered onto a Turncard which is sent to KJC. A Turncard has space for fifteen different orders. Every time you submit a Turncard, you will be charged a fee but your first three Turncards for a new party are free.
The orders from your Turncard tell the computer programs what you would like your characters to do. Once they have been processed, a report is generated which shows what happened during your turn and anything else that may have occurred. This report is then sent to you.
You continue submitting Turncards for your party for as long as you wish to remain an active member of Quest. During your first twenty turns, as you are getting used to the game system and building your party, there are no limits on how fast you can have your Turncards processed.
However, different Quest worlds run at different speeds or as we call them, 'game weeks'. Once you have reached turn 21, to keep a game fair, you will normally only be allowed to have one Turncard processed each game week. Game Weeks are every 34 days, weekly, every ten days or fourteen days. The length of your Game Week is shown on the top right hand side of your turn report. If you would prefer a different Game Week, please let us know now so we can enter you into a suitable world as we can not move your party later.
