The Rat Zone

Rat sending simulator 2k13 starting area

Your Crime Level has grown too great, and the Crime Squads have been deployed to hunt you down.

Perhaps you can buy yourself some time. You'll need to be very fancy to pull this one off.

One of the Crime Squaddies lays a hand on you, and you instantly find yourself inside a locked jail cell inside the Jail Zone. Now you just need to get out of here somehow.

3 change points, 1 more needed to reach level 4.

Fanciness has increased to 3 - Fancy!

Fanciness 2 failed in a challenge! (When you try a challenge that's difficult for you, you learn more even when you fail.)

You have gone to Jail Zone, Ratco's #1 crime deterrent.

You moved to a new setting: The Jail Zone.

2 change points, 3 more needed to reach level 5.

Crime Level has increased to 4 - Rat Zone Fugitive!

Jail Zone is dull and boring. There are a variety of methods to diminish your Crime Level until you can leave here though.

This storylet will loop until you exit via Perhaps Not.

One copy is provided to each prisoner, in order to give them something to do, apparently. Maybe it's supposed to reform you into a better person. They're known for being long winded and dull, though. Let's just pick a page at random and see what happens

            1
            You need Crime Level 1 (you have 3)

            1
            Unlocked with Crime Level 1 - you have 3

If this isn't the Number of Rats I don't know what is. That's five sevens right there. That's like, a lot. A lot of sevens. It's not seven sevens because, let's be honest here, it's taken me like 4 months and I'm not even at a hundred thousand rats never mind seven million rats. I don't know if I should stop sending rats but I don't think the answer to that question is yes. I don't even know why I'm sending these rats I'm just putting rats in a bag and sending them through the post. How many dang rats do you actually have because Restitution eats 900 rats and it's terrible. I have pretty much decided to make the wordiest message possible here. Do you have a wordcount on this thing yet or am i going to have to paste War and Peace into a box some time to test that. are you even going to read this, i think that's the important question.

Uh.. huh. What did you just read? Perhaps you should investigate further.

Sometimes I like to shoot rats in Watchmaker's Hill but not often because it's not a very good option for cash money. I open palm slam a rat into the rat bag and seal it up with candle wax and the postman falls over in terror at the prospect of carrying more rat corpses. Major sections of London are jammed up by the traffic caused by the mail coaches bringing rats to the house of a man who looks like a tiger in a hat and some other dude who's cool as ice and has an egg on his head. Seven is the number but I've always preferred nines. When ARE we going to see the Candle in Knife and Candle anyway? for that matter, when are we going to see the Knives because i know there's more than two. Who is Mr Iron? Mr Twitch is innocent. Have you ever seen a dead rat 'cause they're kinda gross. why are they rats on strings anyway i mean why a string. did you ever expect this result when you put an option to send rats on a card. fifty thousand rats still isn't enough rats, you know. I have yet to see a number of rats which is too many rats. Seven million rats? Maybe. Maybe not.

This storylet will loop until you exit via Perhaps Not.

One copy is provided to each prisoner, in order to give them something to do, apparently. Maybe it's supposed to reform you into a better person. They're known for being long winded and dull, though. Let's just pick a page at random and see what happens

If this isn't the Number of Rats I don't know what is. That's five sevens right there. That's like, a lot. A lot of sevens. It's not seven sevens because, let's be honest here, it's taken me like 4 months and I'm not even at a hundred thousand rats never mind seven million rats. I don't know if I should stop sending rats but I don't think the answer to that question is yes. I don't even know why I'm sending these rats I'm just putting rats in a bag and sending them through the post. How many dang rats do you actually have because Restitution eats 900 rats and it's terrible. I have pretty much decided to make the wordiest message possible here. Do you have a wordcount on this thing yet or am i going to have to paste War and Peace into a box some time to test that. are you even going to read this, i think that's the important question.

Uh.. huh. What did you just read? Perhaps you should investigate further.

Distressingly common recently. Bloops (forgive the technical jargon) in the fabric of reality can occasionally cause a melding of our world and the strange, vaguely purple-tinted Rat Storage Zone. Someone owned those rats, but now they're technically finder's keepers. Just try not to get concussed.

The Rat Zone

Rat sending simulator 2k13 starting area

Distressingly common recently. Bloops (forgive the technical jargon) in the fabric of reality can occasionally cause a melding of our world and the strange, vaguely purple-tinted Rat Storage Zone. Someone owned those rats, but now they're technically finder's keepers. Just try not to get concussed.

There'll be plenty of time after the space-time continuum settles itself to scavenge. No need to take unnecessary risks.

The rain forces you to spend most of the day under a shack. The shack is a shack of indescribable function and purpose. There are many like it throughout the Rat Zone. Nobody knows where they came from or why they exist, and certainly nobody can be held accountable for building one.
You muse over the nature of the shacks until the ratfall ends. After the danger has passed, you collect a reasonable haul of rats, but the presence of other scavengers means that your loot is quite diminished compared to those who took risks.

You've gained 2,628 x Rat (new total 165,125).

A simple game, but one that's made many a scavenger lose their haul. Flip a coin: Heads, you get double your rats. Tails, you lose everything. Are you up for it?

You might become very very rich, or you might end up with nothing! Gambling!

Sending Rats!

The Rat Zone

Rat sending simulator 2k13 starting area

Well, here we are. The nub and/or crux of this Video Game, is, of course, to send rats. And that is what this is for. To send rats. Sending rats will gain you Rat Points, which can be used to buy Prizes from the Rat Prizes Lounge, which will show up whenever you actually have a Rat Point.

This storylet will loop repeatedly until you choose to exit it via Perhaps Not

Ten Rats

You are going to send rats to another person. Do not question the hows and whys, the Rat Zone will handle all the postage and delivery stuff. Give 10 rodent corpses to another Rat Zone dweller.

            10
            You need 10 x Rat  (you have 3000)

            10
            Unlocked with 10 x Rat  - you have 3000

Send Ten Rats

Ten rats. That's as many as ten ones. And that's... a barely sufficient gift for the peasants of the Rat Zone. You should be mildly grateful to [Actor].

One Hundred Rats

Your entire starting budget's worth of rats! Maybe it is your entire starting budget, if you're impatient and really want to give someone all of your rats. It's OK. I won't judge.

            100
            You need 100 x Rat  (you have 3000)

            100
            Unlocked with 100 x Rat  - you have 3000

One Thousand Rats

Now this, this is a lot of rats. Perhaps enough to provide restitution for any of your past crimes. They do say that in the end, all sins are forgiven. Maybe not if you killed all of these rats yourself though, that'd probably get you a reputation as a war criminal among rats.

            1000
            You need 1,000 x Rat  (you have 3000)

            1000
            Unlocked with 1,000 x Rat  - you have 3000

Ten Thousand Rats

You could probably kill someone with this many rats. But you're not going to, because this is the Rat Zone, a peaceful land of co-operation and rats. Mostly the latter. This many rats will get you a small surplus benefit of Rat Points. Not many, but they're there.

            10000
            You need 10,000 x Rat  (you have 3000)

            10000
            Unlocked with 10,000 x Rat  - you have 3000

Send Ten Thousand Rats

Dear god, where did [Actor] get this many rats? Well, whereever they came from, they're yours now. Enjoy?

[Participants] has received a substantial Rat Gift from you. Your Rat Points score benefits greatly.

Fifty Thousand Rats

Now this is a king's bounty! But not a Rat King's bounty, because 50000 rats isn't enough to be a Rat King. How many is enough? More than you have. Again, a small surplus bonus. It could be bigger, but it'll save you sending a few rats.

            50000
            You need 50,000 x Rat  (you have 3000)

            50000
            Unlocked with 50,000 x Rat  - you have 3000

Send Fifty Thousand Rats

Oh come on. I mean, seriously, come on. Fifty thousand rats? What could [Actor] be thinking? Either way, you now have an Everest of your very own. Made up of furry corpses.

SEVEN

A well told you about the secret Tally of Rats, hidden away and forgotten about. It informed you that you could learn of this Tally, but a great sacrifice must be made. Namely, the sacrifice of seven hundred and seventy seven thousand, seven hundred and seventy seven rats. These rats must be sent to a "friend" at a time when any rational sane human being would be asleep. You believed the well, because you generally believe in stonework. Good honest stonework. It's a hole in the ground, how could it be wrong?

            777777
            You need 777,777 x Rat  (you have 3000)

Seven Seven Seven Seven Seven Seven Seven

Lately, you've seen [Actor] staggering around and muttering something about the number seven. Apparently, they need to convince themselves that seven is indeed a number or something. Anyway, this morning at about 5AM you heard a mighty crash outside. When you checked outside, you found a barely-conscious [Actor] and a colossal stack of rats. 777777 rats, according to [Actor]. You didn't check.

[Participants] knows the glory of the Number, and you, the glory of the Candle.

One Hundred Thousand Rats

A literal mountain of rats. If it weren't for the strange Rat Storage Zone, this towering pillar would probably block out the sun, acting as a monolithic reminder as to the hubris of man. And you're going to give all these rats to another person, because you either really like or absolutely detest them.

            100000
            Unlocked with 100,000 x Rat  - you have 3000

Send One Hundred Thousand Rats

Wow! This is a lot of rats. [Actor] has sent you a lot of rats. Really, a lot.

[Participants] has taken delivery of your one hundred thousand rats. They could probably fill a swimming pool. With rats.

All your rats!

Send someone all of your rats! All of them! Every last one!

            1
            You need 1 x Rat  (you have 3000)

            1

Send All Rats

[Actor] has sent you every rat they own! Amazing!

[Participants] has accepted all of your rats. Now they have everything you had before you sent all your rats away.

Send someone three bees. Maybe they really like bees, or maybe this is some dastardly plot to sting them to death. Bees!

            3
            You need 3 x Rat Bee  (you have 3)

            3

[Participants] has received your bees. Bees!

Rat Prizes Lounge!

The Rat Zone

Rat sending simulator 2k13 starting area

It's not really much of a lounge, if we're being honest. More of a run-down shack, held up mostly by the sheer volume of corpses it contains. Thankfully, the Rat Zone is perfectly sanitary and the Lounge is entirely free of the hazards and undesirable qualities one would normally associate with a room filled with corpses. A vending machine sits behind a counter in the manner of a shop assistant. Please choose your desired purchase. Currency's Rat Points, of course.

One Hundred Rats

Seventy five Rat Points will buy you 100 rats. Alright exchange rat(e).

            75

A whopping 32000 rat points will net you this princely (But not Rat-Kingly) sum of 100000 rats. Best exchange rate? Yes, definitely.

            You need Rat Points 32,000 (you have 34234)

Ticket to Well

No luck finding wells in the Rat Acquisition Deck? Ratco does not encourage well liason, but if you're willing to spend the Rat Points you can get yourself a guaranteed meeting with a well.

            7777
            You need Rat Points 7,777 (you have 34234)

Buy a Brew

Need a Horrendous Brew? For some horrendous disgusting reason? The vending machine offers a "delicious nutrient solution", but it's not very nutritious or delicious and is actually rather horrendous.

However, because head management at Ratco believe the solution to be the most delicious thing ever made, the price is quite high. Still, if you can't find any other means of obtaining a brew, this one works.

            15000
            You need 15,000 x Rat  (you have 3000)
