Alliance:
Alliance is a game to play with your friends outdoors. It is a 100% original game I created with 4 of my friends.
Basic Rules:
The general concept of the game is to achieve world domination! To do this all other players must be dead or under your control, you have various ways of doing this.
Combat and Vassals:
The simplest way of getting someone under control is to tag their right shoulder. This causes them to become your vassal. If two people tag each other at the same time, no one is 'vassaled' and there is a 10 second wait where neither of the people can tag the other. Vassals fight for you, this means they cannot attack you and that anyone they tag becomes your vassal, although that person is also the person who tagged him's vassal.
Example:
John tags Bob, Bob is now John's vassal. Bob tags Sam, Sam is now Bob's vassal, and because Bob is vassal to John, Sam fights for John too. Jack comes and tags Bob. That makes Bob and Sam to become Jack's vassal.
Once everyone is under one person's control, the game ends in 5 seconds. 5 seconds because there are ways to get free of your master.
This game is best to play by a structure or somewhere where you can make a death zone. For example, my friends and I play on the structure at our school, and if you step off the structure you instantly die. When someone dies, all of their vassals are free, although in the example given above, if Jack fell now, Bob and Sam would stay a unit.
Those are the basic rules, but there are several other concepts in addition to those that depend on what addition you are playing.

This is the recommended mode for your first couple games. This mode adds no additional elements. Everyone is a a villager and their only attack is tagging someone on their right shoulder.

Alliance Abilities:
Vampire Immunities: If you are a vampire you never truly become someone's vassal. When someone tags you, you remain free, you may pretend to be that person's vassal so they don't suspect you of being a vampire. The game cannot be one if someone is a vampire, because that person is never controlled. The only way to eliminate a vampire is to stake it. To stake a character you yell "Stake" and tag them on the back of the neck. If the person is a vampire, that person becomes a normal villager with no abilities, and is also your vassal. If the person is not a vampire, you become their vassal. Everyone starts the game with 1 stake, that is expended when you use it.
Rebellion: This ability is triggered when you yell "Rebellion", it is then used up, but everyone is instantly freed of their master.
Combat Prowess: This ability allows you to tag either of someone's shoulders to vassal them.
Lightning Bolt: This ability is trigger when you say "Lightning Bolt" and designate a target. The target person may not use abilities or vassal anyone while they are "lightning bolted". Each use of lightning bolt (although they are expended afterwards) lasts 10 seconds.
Fire Bolt: To use a Fire Bolt just yell "Fire Bolt" and designate a target other than yourself. The target of a Fire Bolt is instantly free of their master as if they were the sole target of a Rebellion.
Ice Bolt: To cast a Ice Bolt yell "Ice Bolt" and choose a target. That target is frozen in place for 5 seconds and not allowed to move. After an Ice Bolt the character cannot be attacked or attack for 3 seconds.
Holy Smite: To use this ability shout "Holy Smite" and tag an opponent anywhere on there body. That person instantly becomes your vassal, if that person was a Vampire they become a normal villager as if they were staked. If you Holy Smite a fellow Knight of Light you become that character's vassal.
Unholy Strike: You may use this ability when you tag someone on their shoulder, by saying "Unholy Strike". If that character is not a Vampire, Necromancer, or Knight of Darkness that person becomes a Zombie under your control.
Holy Shield: To use a Holy Shield simply say "Holy Shield". This means that for the next 5 seconds you are not affected by normal attacks, unholy strikes, or mimicking abilities.
Curse: To use this ability shout "Curse" and tag an opponent anywhere on there body. That person instantly becomes a Zombie under your control, if that person was a Vampire, Necromancer, or Knight of Darkness they are unaffected.
