ATTACKS

To attack another team, a player must create a work featuring:

  • Go Yeongeun

  • Another character from the target team

Example:
If a Team Bureau player writes a fic featuring Go Yeongeun, Baek Saheon (Black Goat) & Kim Soleum (Roe Deer)
→ this counts as an attack against Team Daydream.
Team Bureau will gain 5 points for their submission.
Team Daydream will not lose points, but will be notified about the attack.
___

  • Some characters may have multiple affiliations (eg, Eun Haje → Daydream / Sekwang). Players may choose whichever version fits their work.

  • Canon and AU settings are both welcome. Team affiliations are flexible and are used mainly for gameplay purposes, relying on good faith self-reporting.

DEFENSE

To defend your own team, players must create a work featuring:

  • Go Yeongeun

  • A character from your own team

Example:
If a Team Sekwang player draws fanart featuring Go Yeongeun and Director Ho
→ this counts as a defense for Team Sekwang.
Team Sekwang will gain 5 points for their submission.

MULTIPLIERS (Combo Attacks/Defenses & Prompts)

Additional points may be earned through the following:

  • Daily Prompt: +2 points (if the work fills that day's prompt)

  • Combos: ×2 total score (if two or more creators from the same team collaborate)

Collaborations between two or more creators on the same team count as a Combo Attack or Combo Defense.Examples include:
→ writer + artist pairs
→ round-robin fics
→ multi-artist collaborations (e.g., separate lineart + rendering)
Combo submissions receive a flat ×2 multiplier applied to the final score. Only one collaborator needs to submit the work through the form.Example:
If two players from Team Daydream create a shared work featuring Go Yeongeun and the B Squad Leader using the Day 2 prompt:
+5 base submission
+2 daily prompt
= 7 points
Combo multiplier ×2
= 14 points total
Team Daydream will gain 14 points for their submission.
