UPCOMING EVENT!
Starting on September 14th and going through September 17th, Fayren is in for a wacky time! This is a fairly open-ended event and you're welcome to have your characters get into whatever mischief fits with the theme as long as you keep in mind the tenants of ooc communication and make sure that whoever you're threading with is OK with whatever you come up with too. That said, any character who steps into Fayren during the event period is going to notice the world is a little out of wack.
Doors lead to oceans, cookies make you grow small and mushrooms make you grow tall, animals can talk and so can chairs and doorknobs too, tiles are bouncy, fishes are fancy, and flowers might spray a euphoric substance that makes you blissfully unaware of anything but your own happiness. It's a dangerous, wacky, wonderful world in Fayren, and it's caused by a magical spell. Someone is up to no good, and that someone is a thief who got her hands on a powerful spell that she found in The Maw. Though not a sorceress herself, the thief utilized magic contained in a stone she'd stolen a week earlier, which is why throughout Fayren they will find wanted posters around town leading up to the event, then through it.
How to Catch a Thief
Players can submit one guess per day during the course of the event in a battleship-style grid game. The first player to guess which spot the thief is on gets to have one of their characters get credit for stopping her and saving Fayren. Whichever player guesses correctly may have up to a party of three characters (including themselves) do a log in a similar fashion to a bounty log. (You can handle the thief's personality, etc. for the sake of easy because Taymod is a slow asshole.) The party members (up to three!) will all receive Fayren charms.
How many guesses do we each get?
For this event, you get one guess per day of the event. The event is four days long, so this totals four guesses for each person regardless of how many characters you have. This makes it fairer so that players who only play one character don't have fewer chances to participate than a player who plays seven characters. If you correctly guess the thief's location, then you can apply it to any one of the characters you play. You cannot give it to another player after winning, everyone only has four chances.
What happens if no one finds the thief?
If no one guesses the correct spot by the end of the event period, the thief gets away and no one gets a charm. The magic will fade by the end of the event period regardless, but the thief will remain at large!
Okay but I don't want to catch a thief, I just want to have Wonderland fun, can I do _________?
If it doesn't break the rules of the game and is in the realm of Wonderland-themed stuff, go for it. On the other hand, anything outside of Fayren's technology levels won't be allowed. No one's device is going to turn into a fighting robot and punch their lights out, though if they drop their device while crossing a mallow marsh (a marsh made of marshmallow) it might bounce really high and far and you might have to chase it and hope you don't get caught in sticky marshmallow. Or if you do, you'd better hope you brought some chocolate and graham crackers to get yourself out of it.
If you aren't sure, that's when you comment here to ask a mod! You can also ask any other questions relating to the event there. Please do not direct questions to mods on the plurk that links to this post or in the discord as it is very easy for moderators to miss your questions but also easy for other players who don't have access to non-community locations to miss the answer as well. Let's keep it all in one place. Thank you, and another post will go up with the Thief Hunt Grid on the 14th to open for guessing! You do not have to wait until that post goes up to make your own posts however. There will not be a designated log for this event.
Questions
Re: Questions
Since it sounds interesting but I'm just not sure if I could really do good descriptions for Wonderlandian terrain
Also with the mentioned effects does that mean Haruna's going to just become a pile of 'Silver Sand' around Union Core. As her 'human body' is a pile of nanomachines around her actual self (the Core)
no subject
Anything technological won't be affected as stated. The bouncing around bit was just an example, don't have her get separated by something if you don't want that to happen.
