[EVENT] Coin Piece Winners!

[rubycitymods]

Thank you to everyone who put someone forward for the games! The winners are as follows, chosen using a random number generator.

 

Horseshoes	Beat the Dealer	High Striker
Orihime Inoue	Rin Okumura	Lamont Toucey
Archery	Duck Pond	Ladder Climb
Gilgamesh	Waver Archibald El-Melloi	Jamie McCrimmon

 

These six participants will be given a small coin fragment as their prize after winning one of these games at least once! Other prizes are of course on offer, the usual carnival fare, but these people in particular will be handed the precisely angled piece of metal with a knowing smile from the stall vendor, though any questions they have as to the purpose of it will go unanswered.

They are free to keep it, hand it to someone else, even to throw it away, but when the well appears in place of the obelisk on the 23rd, more than one of them may notice that the fragment they hold would fit into the indentation in the top of the well, filling up one sixth of the circle.

"six fragments must be placed
and a single desire will be granted
for the good all or one"

The little verse on the well is certainly cryptic, but it may be worked out by one or more people that the act of completing the coin and offering it to the well will grant a single desire in return. However, it isn't only down to the six piece-holders to decide what this might be! Anyone can be the one to make it and it can be a wish for anything at all, though bear in mind that some choices may have unforeseen circumstances.. and simply wishing for everyone to be sent back home will not work at all.

We understand that this kind of thing will take a great deal of teamwork between a large number of players and we will not be imposing a time limit on the decision-making in IC terms. The well will remain until a decision is made and carried out, whether that be a wish being made or the decision to give up the coin without asking anything of it.

If there is anything that we as mods can do to help you, please don't be shy about letting us know! We look forward to seeing your plotting for this aspect in particular, which you can use this post for!

Just to put it out there in case there aren't any other bites later on.

If Sephiroth learns there are 6 pieces of this key, that have been given out, he might well keep an eye out for an opportunity to relieve one of them from someone. For leverage reasons.

He's totally a little sore that the City used omnipotent wish-granting devices to hold sway over him before

It could definitely be something we could work out one way or another when/if Sephiroth learns about the pieces of the key. I'd think there'd be a reasonable chance about that happening if the post I saw mentioned elsewhere in here does go up, and Jamie does have a tendency to open his mouth and blab about things that he should keep to himself, so if that happens Sephiroth could find out about it that way.

Yea and then it's Steve Rogers fault that Sephiroth learns of it lol! Even then, if he does filter it from the current public-enemy no.1 it seems he might learn of it through some of his other CR anyway.

In terms of taking the key from Jamie, I'd like to try to manipulate it from him instead of going all-out violence for a change? Only as it's not Sephiroth's only skill. We'll see what comes of it either way!

/casually adds to Plurk for later.

Jamie would likely be angry if he found out he was manipulated because he doesn't like being tricked, but manipulation does have a good shot at working. And given that his use of the watch is pretty haphazard right now unless people put out other warnings about Sephiroth there's a good chance he still has little to no idea about what happened with the plot you were doing earlier in the month.

So I think that might even make things a little easier, too.

And I've added you back, so feel free to pp me! Although I may be MIA at the end of the week for a couple of days, just to give you a heads up.
