EVENT #6: PEACE ON THE HORIZON (OOC)

Event #6 - PLOTTING POST

go to the IC event post

---

After pitting their Summoned against one another in an attempt to vie for the greatest control over the caskets and the Singularity, and being further spurred on by Goro's march on Solvunn, the three factions have finally made their stance...and invited all to a Summit! Tensions are high and with the outcome of the Dimming being so even, it only makes sense that everyone would extend a hand in peace and understanding.

There is nothing to worry about.

All the Summoned will be given the opportunity to travel to a remote location near the Singularity for the weekend. The event will take place ICly from February 18th through February 21st. Participation is voluntary but the respected faction leaders highly encourage their Summoned to make their presence known. After all, whoever has the highest representation likely has the most loyal open-minded Summoned.

A key purpose of this event, in addition to allowing inter-faction mingling between all characters, is that CHARACTERS MAY CHANGE FACTIONS AT THIS STAGE IF THEY WISH and no one will (overtly) stop them. During the Summit, every faction will be trying to win over the Summoned to either join their side or keep them from switching sides. This is not explicitly stated nor will anyone admit to it being the case, but there is a sense that the Summoned are being wooed.

If you want to switch factions, please reply to this comment over on the IC event post.

Questions and Answers

If after reading these you're still unsure about anything, or your question wasn't covered, please feel free to hit up our Questions thread below!

Can my character leave the event early?

Absolutely! Characters can leave through their designated faction exits whenever they like. However, once they leave, they cannot return to the event. Those who want to stay for the duration of the Summit must remain in the area and use the tents as their temporary quarters.

What will my character be told if they ask to leave the boundaries?

Characters will be told that it's for their own safety that they can't leave the area. They are out in the open wilderness, so there's no telling what dangers might lurk.

How many raffle tickets can my character purchase?

ICly, characters can purchase as many as they can afford. OOCly, we ask players to submit just one raffle entry per player (not per character) for the prizes, in order to keep things fair!

Can the faction pin be removed? What happens if characters try?

The faction pin cannot be removed. It's magically attached to characters and will only dislodge once they step through the portal to return home. Attempting to remove it before then will yield no results.

How are characters assigned tents/sleeping quarters?

Characters are not assigned to any tent, nor are they required to stay in a single tent. As long as they are welcome by those already inside, they can come and go between tents as they please! Players are encouraged to do the same and to work out their tentmates with each other for CR purposes if they so choose. There are enough tents for everyone to sleep comfortably.

My character was a prisoner of Thorne. Will they be imprisoned if they want to return to Thorne?

Characters who were originally imprisoned by Thorne may switch factions back to Thorne without risk of punishment. They will be granted amnesty and will be offered the same treatment as any of the current welcomed Summoned.

So! Emet is probably going to be lurking at whatever technology displays are up, if we wanted a jumping-off point for them to talk magitek! Alternately I could probably swing bathhouse stuff if you wanted nerding out, but now with more bathhouse awkwardness.

[techmaturgy]

Yes! I will probably have a prompt for general milling around the Free Cities area being a tech nerd OR if you want awkward bathhouse flavor I can write us something for that. If he visits he will probably go at some stupid hour because although he digs the idea of zoning out in a jacuzzi for an unspecified amount of time he is not sure he wants to be around people while that happens

too bad for him tho

[unnecessaryflourishes]

I'm up for either! It depends on how much awkward you want - and Emet arguably doesn't need sleep, though he's very fond of naps.

[techmaturgy]

NO TIME FOR SLEEP but ok! I will keep an eye out for your top level if you are doing one, alternatively I will probably be posting one of my own within the next day or so!

[unnecessaryflourishes]

I will be making a valiant effort to make a toplevel! ...But it will not be tonight, since it's already getting late.

[techmaturgy]

yes of course I will keep an eye out!

[techmaturgy]

OK i have done it but if you don't see anything that strikes your fancy or would rather I come to you just let me know! I'm *~*~*flexible*~*~*
