EVENT #1 OOC PLOTTING POST

EVENT #1 OOC PLOTTING
Hello and welcome to our very first event! This is where you can OOCly ask us questions and plot with other players.

We'd also like to give a quick rundown of both this event and the events that will follow in the next few months, just so you're all prepared!

June 12th and 13th will be the same as what was on our TDM, so you can make individual logs for these days or decide that some of your TDM threads were canon for them. During this time, honored guests will be told about the Singularity and Thorne's goals regarding it (anything you see about that on the FAQ is something they're allowed to know). They will not be told why they specifically are here and why they're honored while others are imprisoned, but they can tell prisoners about the Singularity if they like.

If you haven't already, please sign up for room and cell assignments in this post! RNG assignments will be given at the end of the day.

This event, which takes place from June 14th-19th, will be divided into two smaller groups. The honored guest event primarily focuses on politics and worldbuilding, while the prisoner event has more horror and mystery. We wrote these events based on what we hoped each group would enjoy, but there is some opportunity to go with the other group if you'd like!

The downtime between this event and July's will involve basically the same setting as the TDM, except honored guests will have their powers back, they can now venture out into the town instead of being stuck in the castle, and an honored guest will be able to sign a prisoner out for a trip to the town if they say they need help with something and have them back in a few hours. Escape will still not be possible during this time, but hold tight!

July's event will be a longer one and will involve every character together without being split into groups. This event will involve war, more information about the other factions, and a better look at the Singularity.

August will begin by introducing our second group of characters (please note that we have a player cap, not a character cap, if you would like to app a second) and will then be followed up with two NPC logs that will wrap up the honored guest and prisoner arc and allow everyone to explore more individual goals and plot arcs from then on. If these first two events feel more linear than what you were expecting, they are intended to be a slow introduction to the game and a chance to build CR and start coming up with arc ideas before we throw you right into individual plotting.

There will be an opportunity for prisoners to be released before the NPC logs in August. More on that will be posted after this event.

Lastly, we'd like to thank you all for your involvement in the game! These first few months are going to involve a lot of us getting our footing here, mods included, so we thank you for your patience with us and with each other.

Some questions everyone might want to know the answers to:

1. Equipment and lighting in the tunnels

2. Clothes in the tunnels

3. How fast powers return for welcomed characters

4. Where to post top levels

june 14th: eddie will be spending the acclimating day planning for an escape! he's very happy to talk about this in hushed tones with anyone nearby who seems trustworthy. also, he's going to be spreading some very alarming rumours about one randall flagg in terms of him being an evil sorcerer that nobody in their right mind should be trusting. OH ALSO more generally i'm happy to continue TDM threads if you want!! just let me know and we can set something up :^)

june 15-18: who wants to mine with eddie and receive a steady supply of extremely topical jokes on the matter!!! eddie will be going down into the mines (in a group with cersei and one other, hit us up!) and trying to enact his escape plan. i would love for eddie and whoever he ends up escaping with (either in his mining group or just someone he runs into down there) to run into the frostwurm and also maybe end up getting a lil injured in the scuffle?

also VERY interested in playing out some hallucinations, maybe when they get stuck after a tunnel cave in? as a former heroin addict, eddie's real flighty around drugs, but potentially he would stop and coach someone through a bad trip, only for the hallucination to spread to him too, womp womp. on the other hand hallucinations from eddie will likely feature his brother henry's headless corpse berating and mocking you, or a talking train smugly about to drive into a wall at very high speeds and kill everyone on board so?? fun??

june 19: pretty open considering he's going to be making an escape attempt but i doubt he will be feasting with the others, WE SHALL SEE.

yes please!! i think eddie is gonna get lost also so they can definitely run into each other, i'm working on my toplevel right now so i'll put something together for you!!

(also while you're here would you like to continue our TDM thread? i'm probably gonna throw up an open log for continuing TDM stuff and i can move our thing over there if so!)

[personal profile] opioid 2021-06-19 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
YES definitely! i have plans for geralt to be the one who actually helps eddie get out but i was thinking we could comment to it in a lil bit and see if the mods have a fun way of splitting them up while they're trying to make a run for it? and then after the event they can touch base again 👀

also i have an open log for this month here if you wanna continue their TDM thread there :0

I love that idea! Maybe they'll find two different horrible things.

We'll thread a bit, then let me know when you comment on the post and I'll put a separate one for Jesper.
