Yeah, some people keep them as pets. They are very intelligent and they absolutely recognize people, they just can't be trained so they are likely to spray/piss/poo poo in the wrong places, plus they are insanely curious and will try to open/destroy just about everything.

Are you telling me that you wouldn't want a raccoon as a pet?

If they were even somewhat domesticated, I would totally choose a raccoon over a cat.

Yea it's not so much a 'pet' as a creature you let in your house that takes the food you offer it and probably pisses on everything and breaks your stuff. You can't really tame a raccoon, that's why they're called nature's president.

Raccoon Rules

You start out with two stats:

Energy is your little raccoon fuel tank. You gain energy by eating, you lose energy by doing things.

Health is how healthy you are. You lose health by running out of energy or doing stupid stuff, you gain it by resting for long periods of time.

Each turn covers a week of in game time and is done in two phases. Read all about them below.


The Action Phase

In the Action Phase you decide what your raccoon will do that week. You have 6 actions to assign each week, and here's what you can do with them.

Move (Move up to 6 spaces, takes 1 energy for each space moved)
Forage (1 energy, gain food)
Fool around (1 energy)
Conserve Energy (1 energy for 2 actions)
Heal (2 energy, gain 1 health)

I'll go into a bit more detail about each of these actions.

Move

You can move in the four cardinal directions. When you move, specify the directions you're moving and your endpoint. and example move would be "Move 4 spaces north, 1 space east, end C16" if you somehow screw this up I'll do my best to put you in the right place, but please don't make me do that every time.

It takes 1 additional point of energy swim in your move action and you cannot end your move in water or you'll drown. I'll assume nobody is going to actively try to drown themselves so if you accidentally move a square too short or too far I'm not going to just insta drown you.

For various reasons, you might start your turn in water. If you start out in the water, you must spend your first turn swimming to land, if somehow you cannot reach land well haha on you buddy, you're dead.

The additional energy cost only comes up once even if you walk on land and go back in water.

Forage

This takes 1 energy and any food you find comes back in the form of energy. Once a tile is foraged it takes a bit to replenish again. Foraging a tile that hasn't replenished will only net you a fraction of the full food value and will reset the replenishing timer. There are various things that have a chance to happen each time you forage.

Foraging repeatedly in human occupied areas increases the chance of human response. Generally speaking, the more densely populated an area is, the less forages it takes to prompt a response.

Fool Around

Have a bit of fun once and a while will you? This doesn't directly do stuff, but it will likely give you more to do in the next phase.

Conserve Energy

By spending two actions on this you can save your energy. You don't have to do it for two actions at a time but the benefits aren't seen unless you spend your actions in pairs. Spending just 1 action on conserve energy will cost 1 energy. Spending 4 will cost 2. Spending 5 will cost 3.

Heal

I don't think there's anything to explain here.


That's all the actions for now, though some may be unlocked later


The Decision Phase

You will be faced with at least 1 decision. It's multiple choice and your answer will effect your raccoon. The decision will come with information to help you choose, but you won't be exactly sure what the possible outcomes are. The question you receive will be based on your actions in the Action Phase.

There's a couple other things to explain but then we're ready to start our first action phase.

Traits

You start with no traits. You will gain traits as you play. Some traits will be helpful, some will not. Some will be a mix of both. You'll get them through the decision phase mostly.

The Map

The map is divided roughly for you, but I've got a more detailed map for myself. I've laid things out in specific regions and things that will happen in some regions aren't going to happen in others. For example, the forest on the island is different than the forest by the river.

The map is not set in stone. Your raccoon is constantly changing, but so is the world around it. Watch carefully.


These are the rules. We're not quite started yet, lemme prepare some stuff and I'll show you how to submit a turn.

Action Phase


(click the image to submit your actions)

Summer has ended, your mother has left you. You are on your own for the first time. It is getting colder. You need to store energy for the winter. The world is much bigger than you ever realized

quote:

Captive raccoons have been known to live for more than 20 years.[154] However, the species' life expectancy in the wild is only 1.8 to 3.1 years, depending on the local conditions in terms of traffic volume, hunting, and weather severity.[155] It is not unusual for only half of the young born in one year to survive a full year.[156]
