[Event] Planning in Advance - To Far Flung Corners!

[rubycitymods]

To Far Flung Corners -- May 07 - May 14.

Unusually, this upcoming event is entirely Chassie's doing, trying to get everyone to work together and stop fighting! Even those who remain in the city won't be entirely safe. Of course, Chassie is only a little girl and her idea of getting the quarrelling opposites to work together is going to turn out to be far more literal than anyone might have expected. Few people realise just how much power is contained inside the body and mind of this eight year old, and just what can happen when she decides she is going to use it.

What we have for you right now is a basic run down of the nitty-gritty of the event, since it requires some extra forward planning. The flavour text will be added when the State of the City for May is written up, and any extra questions that you have will be answered at that time!

For this event, we will be asking for people to volunteer their characters to be RNG'd into groups (we are hoping for a total of seven groups of three or four, but can work with less - or more!) and each sent to a specified location on the world map, left to find their way back to the city using their own abilities. However(!) any magic which would allow them to teleport/any other similar thing will be nullified. Each group will face trials and difficulties based on one (or two, depending on how many groups can be reasonably made) pair of vices/virtues.

-More Player-Guided Option-

You will get a list of the difficulties which will be faced by your characters, and you will be allowed to play these out as you see fit! There will be little to no moderator intervention in threads and whether they succeed or fail in their tasks will be completely down to yourselves and how much you want to put them through. We - the mod team - will be keeping an eye on these threads to see how they develop, but we'll leave the direction and in-group plotting entirely down to you guys.

-Less Player-Guided Option-

This is where things get a little trickier for the mod team! A separate post can be set up to monitor your character's journies and their success (or failure) in the situations that they face (possibly using RNG). We can see how this might be more appealing for some, which is why we are posing it as a suggestion!

In either option, you will still be able to have measure of IC control over the creatures and monsters your characters face... and just how much 'interaction' they have with your group.

Note: This event will be used as a 'test run' for the proposed new vice/virtue system outlined here, where we will be seeing just how we can best make it work. Forgive us while we work out some kinks!

So, what do we need from you right now? Please fill in the below form and post it below the relevant comment. We would also like to hear your opinions on whether or not you would like an RNG element! Volunteering will be open until April 30th.

Comments

Questions!

[rubycitymods]

General questions? Please note that there will be more information given at the start of May.

Questions!

[oathshackledbird]

Would I be correct in assuming Diarmuid's super speed would be close enough to teleportation that it would be nulled for the event? Considering at full speed he could probably make it back to the city in just a few minutes if not less?

[rubycitymods]

Unfortunately for him, yes it would be nulled.

If it makes him feel any better, Dirk won't be doing any flash-stepping either ;)

Re: Questions!

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Slightly confused. Do we choose a virtue or a vice or pick one of each?

[rubycitymods]

You can pick one of each, but they don't have to be related.

If you truly, honestly don't feel that you can put vice AND virtue to your character, please just pick one :3

Re: Questions!

[manga_goddess_skuld]

What is the limit of how many characters you would like each player to observe? I'm presuming you don't want all of mine (I think I have eight now, with two more apps in progress) but do you only want one? Or is it acceptable to toss a few in?

Edit:
Also, should I just be googing the virtues/vices when I do post characters? Or is there a specific to RC list you want us to draw from?

[rubycitymods]

Ideally, we want to avoid playercest in groups! It's definitely acceptable to toss in a few, but only if you are comfortable that you will be able to keep up with them all during the event.

Our RC NPCs align to the Seven Heavenly Virtues and Seven Cardinal Sins).

[manga_goddess_skuld]

Alright! I'll make my choices based on that then. (Like leaving out the Baron since Skuld and Kaylin would both be interested in speaking with him) Thank you! I'll try to put them more or less in priority order, so if I toss in too many you can pick and choose without having to wait on me. :D

Thank you for the link and the answer!

Involvement Options

[rubycitymods]

RNG or player-driven? Let us know which one you prefer :D

[digiorno]

My preference would be player-driven!

[victoriantype]

Also preference for player-driven!

[whatitis]

Player-driven tbh! o7

[bifroster]

I prefer PLAYER DRIVEN as well.

However, if people still want to have a little more organization, we could still throw up a a post with comments regarding teams and what tasks they fail or succeed. This will still mostly be player driven, with just a quick link back to the main event page and headers for the teams.

Something like this:

TEAM 3

Task 1: Succeed
Task 2: Fail
Task 3: Fail
Task 4: WE SUCK AT THIS

Mods would only need to make the post, we would take care of the rest as far as determining what tasks we fail/succeed and if we want to do things like add in links to those threads, etc.

[rubycitymods]

This could work very well! We'll definitely make a note of it.

+1

[berrynice]

I like this compromise!

[bifroster]

Aww, thank you!

Re: Involvement Options

[watermelogisty]

player-driven seems better for everyone involved

Re: Involvement Options

[oathshackledbird]

Another vote here for player driven! :-)

[airshipcaptain]

Yet another vote for player-driven!!

Re: Involvement Options

[takesyoubytheheart]

Voting for RNG.

[thisisourfuture]

Another vote for player driven.

[manga_goddess_skuld]

I like both ideas, honestly, but leaning towards player driven for the sake of tagging speed and to ease the burden on the Mods.

Re: Involvement Options

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

I'm happy with both but I'm gonna vote for player driven to make things easier and less stressful for the mods!

Re: Volunteers!

[manga_goddess_skuld]

Your Name:Chicklet
Volunteered Character/s: Kaylin Neya, Ivy and Grey (they move as a pair), Nadeshiko or nagihiko (If you have a pref, I'll go with that), Aqua, Skuld
Usernames:
KaylinNeya
Believe_it_or_not
Nadenagi
AquaWayfinder
Manga_Goddess_Skuld


Which Vice or Virtue do you feel most describes them?:
Kaylin: if you ask her, she'd say Envy and if she could get enough food - gluttony. Really? Humility is closer. She has a ton of power and pretty much no sense of self worth.
Ivy: Charity and kindness
Grey: Somewhere between Sloth and Temperance. He doesn't quite fit either, though.
Nadeshiko/Nagihiko: Since Impish/troll isn't on the list? Probably closest to Diligence with spikes of wrath.
Aqua: Charity, kindness, diligence, Temperance.
Skuld: Gluttony, Wrath, Envy, Pride, charity, diligence.

Are there any characters you would NOT like to be placed with?: If there is anyone bee/insect themed, please no. Otherwise no complaints. I have yet to meet a single player in this game with whom I do not wish more threads. Everyone I have met so far is AWESOME.

[rubycitymods]

Hi-

To make things easier for us can you please just pick ONE Vice and ONE Virtue for each character. This is for possible sorting/scenario purposes.

[manga_goddess_skuld]

I... shall do my best.

Okay, let's say:
Kaylin: Humility. She has a ton of power and pretty much no sense of self worth.
Ivy: kindness
Grey: Temperance
Nadeshiko/Nagihiko: let's go with wrath, since that seems like it will be more fun.
Aqua: Charity Since I took that off the others.
Skuld: diligence, I guess would be the best.

If the groups are uneven, you can bunch any of mine based off of others I picked for them in the previous post, if that helps.
