King Of The Ladder (forum game)

This is a forum game similar to Dungeons and Dragons formerly hosted on chess.com.
There were many KOTLs there, and I made one:
https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/kotl-the-quiz (it got to 6,000 posts)
So this is how it works:
There is a ladder, or a leaderboard, and you can get points here by winning games. A new ladder is made for each season. I will host many games throughout a season, and the player with the most points is declared the winner of that season.
There will be a story, which you can change with your in-game actions. There will also be NPCs, which are controlled by me.
Now, this is multiplayer, so you will also have some competition.

Along the way, you may have to kill or maim other players and NPCs. The combat system works like this:
Player 1: 'I chuck a shuriken at Player 2's chest.'
Player 2: 'I duck, get up and stab Player 1 in the head.'
Player 1: 'I knock aside Player 2's dagger with my fist and slice off Player 2's non-dominant hand with my sword..'
Player 2: 'I stab Player 1 in the chest.'
Now, Player 2 did not dodge Player 1's slice, so now Player 2 is fighting one-handed.
Player 1: 'I throw my sword at Player 2's face.'
Player 1 did not block or dodge Player 2's stab, gets stabbed in the chest and dies.
Player 2: 'I take all of Player 1's items and look for a place to regrow my hand.'
Host: 'How on earth can you regrow a hand?'

Game 1- Detention
You got into a fight at school, and the principal has given you lines to write. You enter the classroom and sit down in front of the teacher, who is watching carefully as you begin to write your lines. However, your hand is, for some reason, unable to write. You tell the teacher, but she does not believe you. You must find a way to escape! However, be creative: jumping out the windows won't work!
To help you, you may pick one item commonly found in school that can fit in your desk.

NPCS:
The Teacher: Carries a ruler and a sharpened pencil on his person at all times.
The Janitor: Carries a mop and a plunger, has the keys to the Janitor's Closet, which contains many useful items.
The Hall Monitor: Carries a sharpened pencil and a meter-long ruler.
The Nurse: You'll get sent to her if you are injured.
The Principal: Stays in the principal's office most of the time.

This is basically the leaderboard.

I'll keep a document with all items in it, as well as another with the ladder.

@Rainbow_Pink_Lover Basically it's a game where you gain points on the leaderboard by winning games.
The current game is getting out of detention and out of the school.
PvP exists.
