Poor Gunnar...

[Ben]

A new character! Ish. Keith shall return, bittered by the past, and willing to punish the happy do-gooders of the world!

.

Four days until the intrigue sign-up closes!

[Loxmardin]

Roster updated once more. I'll be taking intrigue sign-ups for the rest of the day, but I'll be closing it once it ends so I can start writing on the intrigues!

[Loxmardin]

Triple post. Shame on me.

Intrigue sign-ups are now CLOSED.

Yup. I'll update the roster with the last few sign-ups when I get back home / later. You may still sign up to be added to the roster, but anyone signing up after this will simply not receive a custom intrigue for their own character. (Mind, you will probably still receive the universal intrigue for the event and your chosen faction (Victim/Kidnapper).)

[Loxmardin]

Since no one posted her (everyone's a nub), I'll have to quadruple post.

All intrigues have been completed and sent to your PM inboxes.

NOTE, though, that if something is not in your intrigue, you're not likely to know of it.
So if you're wondering why a particular person is not mentioned in your intrigue,
it's because they're not supposed to be.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. But that's the gist of it when it comes to the intrigues.

What's not there is not available to you unless I say otherwise in private.

Then, now... for more seriousness.

Clothes. Everyone except the Kidnappers will be restricted in terms of gear and clothing. Unless I've told you otherwise, you are not permitted to wear anything bit simple Cloth armour which is not too fancy-looking. It's supposed to be sturdy and casual, but long and glamorous robes are likely taken from you and replaced with something much less glorious for the occasion. Arrange something for your character until the event starts unless you want me to fix something quick for everyone who haven't.

Kidnappers are, of course, free to wear whatever they want.

Random trivia: The intrigues were all completed at close to 20 MS Word pages of text, with 11,450 words exactly.

And no one is -ever- going to post here.

And no one is -ever- going to say 'good job making all this neat stuff for us Lox, I appreciate it! <3'

Because that would be ridiculous.

[Delta]

I adored my personal. I want to read everyone else's, too (though I doubt they'd even make a lot of sense to me).

Kudos on trucking through 11,000 words in... two, three days, was it? You must be sore.

[Judgernaut]

Loxxy, Loxxy! Shes our GM-härskarinna! If she cant do it, no one can! *Include cheerlead dancing from Tharnul here with fuzzy pompalooses an everything*

Really liked the intrique bit, gives the proper atmosphere to kick this whole thing off. I for one can harldy stand the anticipation ^.^

[Uthaniel]

Thanking someone for hard work solely for making an event that's ultimately fun for others and not herself?


Blasphemy, Xigo.
Blasphemy.

[Reese]

Shoutbox Thanks > Thread Thanks

You all know it.

[Nikolisko]

Niko as a victim. 4 teh Lulz!

Attention!

Due to how things have been going in the event so far, I feel the need to clarify and/or change a few things in order to help the flow of the future of it.

Here follows a list of the highlights/changes:

• YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH DELIBERATELY/INTENTIONALLY PROVOKING THE GUARDS - When you provoke or otherwise insult or challenge a guard In-Characterly, please be prepared to take the consequences for it. The rules of the event state that you are not to be forced to submit to something you do not want to experience... HOWEVER, this does not excuse you to act just however you wish In-Characterly. If the choice is made ICly to provoke or challange the guards, they will strike back against you. You will not get away with it. If you're asking for trouble, don't act surprised when it comes to get you.
  
• YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH KILLING SOMEONE - Even if you kill someone with their consent, you will most likely suffer rather serious consequences for it. Possible consequences are, lo' and behold, execution.
  
• IF YOU CONSCIOUSLY MAKE A DECISION WHICH COULD REALISTICALLY GET YOU KILLED, YOU JUST MIGHT BE - As the first point, don't be surprised if you ICly ask for it. However, if you wish to negotiate what kinds of punishments you will have instead of death (unless it ICly is extremely stupid) you are encouraged to as we wish to avoid death as much as possible. At least for Player Characters. If your character finds itself in a provoked situation where their lives are threatened and they keep challenging death (in other words, asking for it), then the decision might be made to pursue actual death. This decision is only to be made my me, Loxmardin, however.
  
• PLEASE REFRAIN FROM POINTLESS, OVER-THE-TOP VIOLENCE - Don't pointlessly charge in to beat the life out of people for the sake of it. Especially not if it's with the kind of violence or intent to break bones or otherwise impair limbs. A broken leg will very seriously impair the character's RP opportunities, and having such consequences for random beatings or spurs of the moment is completely unnecessary and detrimental to the victims' roleplaying opportunities.

And, a clarification/change:

• THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DISCIPLINARY PUNISHMENT AND A RANDOM TORTURE - What I have already said above about not expecting to get away with provoking the guards falls in here as well and includes the Kidnappers as well when defying their superiors' authority. If you are subjected to random violence or humiliation, you have the right OOCly to deny it and everyone will have to respect it and take a step back. However, when it comes to actual disciplinary sanctions, I would like to require everyone to go through with something to some degree. This, simply because disciplinary sanctions have been prevented up until now. In the case of a Disciplinary Sanction, you are free to object OOCly to discuss a different option. However, if you are available to accept the punishment and have rightfully deserved it ICly, you are required to go through with some kind of punishment (though you may, as I already said, still do it on "your terms" with the consent of the one carrying out the disciplinary treatment).

That said. To be making things more interesting in the time-inbetween for both Kidnappers and Victims, I'll be giving more opportunities and possibly items for both sides to be playing with. Just saying.

[ImagenAshyun]

I am told that though signups are over now, people can post here days after and join the event. May I request that Kapre and Bastos join? (if you allow dualboxing, that is)

[Loxmardin]

Certainly. You can still join the event late on any character provided you contact me or someone else in the Raid in-game.
