This is an original RPG I made up with a few friends a few years ago that we used to play. We just called it "Survival" (all rights reserved by DegenerateElite), and even though we originally had all original characters I thought "Hey why not make a RE version?" I did, played it at a party a couple of years ago. It was awesome. So then I thought "Why not online?" So here I am.
Here's how it works: Everyone starts in a room of building. We'll make the goal of this game to find the source of the virus and destroy it and an Umbrella lab. From the room you proogress through various areas as I describe them to you. Every detail is vital if you want to survive. How you open a door: Normally, kicking it open, SWAT style, etc. because something is usually waiting on the other side. These things are:
Death: Someone automatically dies
Trap: Depends on the trap as to who, but someone gets caught in one
Monsters: May even be hidden in the room, so proceed with caution
Seemingly useless items
Useful herbs and food etc.
Weapons
Now don't fret about the death, there are ways around it depending on your character's special ability. Certain abilities are always active like Leon's quick thinking or Louis' safekeeping. Other abilities such as Ada's good shot will be strictly regulated and I will let you guys know when they are available for use. After each use, there will be a time penalty on it it and it cannot be used until further notice.
I do have all the areas mapped out as well and I know what's behind each door beforehand so I won't cheat you, but if you guys are barely scrapin' by, I'll be more merciful. Think of me as the Director from the Left 4 Dead game engine. Likewise, if you blow through, I might make it a little harder.
I won't cheat you guys at all. I have everything written out in paper to keep myself organized as well. So that's my insurance from flaming.
As for character picking: Everyone decide amongst yourselves which character you guys get. You'll all start in different places and most likely alone if you pick a really good one. Therefore your decisions will decide your fate throughout the course of the game and story. It may even lead you to some easter eggs and cool non-related RE bonus characters.... So keep a level head, think about your decisions and be patient. I don't live on the computer, but I make it a point to get on at least once a day. So make your posts and I'll reply as to the outcome of your action by the end of the day and it will repeat the next day until the game is finished.
Now as for an example.
You are in a jail cell. There is one exit and a crossways. The hall to your right is shrouded in darkness and your left leads into a labyrinth of cells full of screams and agonizing cries for help.
(I'll use RE5, Hoady, and Trinity for an example.)
Trinity and Hoady go right. RE5 goes left. Proceed slowly.
RE5 is able to sneak by a garridor because of his slow movement.
Hoady and Trinity run into dogs and aren't able to get into a run in the dark quickly enough. They're pinned down.
So as you can see, EVERYTHING is dependant on your decisions as a player. I don't know if this'll work online, but I figured I'd give it a shot.
If this works out I'll start a thread about our original Survival game. You think RE is unmerciful? HA! So... the game will start tomorrow at night EST. So grab a character and we'll add people as they join. Every post will be labeled as well so everyone knows which scenario I'll be referring to. I know it'll be hard to do this, but please don't read other people's posts other than your own and the one's I assign you. It'll add to the difficulty. Granted, a few random words can't be helped, but do try.

I'll try to find a day where I can stay on for a couple hours so we can reply and play in real time. It'll most-likely be Sunday.
