Vent Event #3

[shadowmods]

 

This is the thirdin a series of VENT EVENTS that will be happening in ToS. What is a Vent Event, you say? Glad you asked! There are not a lot of windows or doors leading outside in the Waiting Room, so the air that circulates through the building is created in a control room and highly regulated. 

Of course, things can go wrong. 

This week, some extra chemicals are being released to certain wings of the house. For the most part, your character won't notice or be affected--that is, unless they're in an infected room when the chemicals interact with steam. If your character spends much time in the green room this week, they will spend the next twenty-four hours unable to lie.  This is true whether someone asks something as mundane as how your character is doing or something as personal as asking for their darkest secrets.  Passing through the room briefly will be fine, but the prolonged exposure to the effected vents that would come from watching a movie or napping in the room will cause this.

This will last for two weeks, ending on the evening of Day 70 (October 23).  If you do not want your character involved, don't have them spending long periods of time in the green room.  Your characters can experience this effect as many or as few times as you wish.  Feel free to post any questions you have here!

 
Note: Feel free to use this post as a place to plot with other players for this event.

Random CR Poll

[shadowmods]

Hey everyone. Kally here. Putting up a poll to get people's opinions on a randomized CR event. For anyone who has never been in a game with a similar event, I'll use an example from a recent event at Bete Noire.

The city had a huge, magical snowstorm. Characters were randomly selected to be in locations together, such as getting caught in the storm together in a movie theatre, a bar, a grocery store, etc. The event lasted for a few days, during which time the characters had to try and survive together.

In essence, your character is stuck with random other characters for a few days. It's basically just a nice way for your muses to get out of their small CR groups and interact with new people. 

(This part is me speaking my opinion as a player, not as your mod: I have been in cliquey games before and it's not fun. I don't think we're cliquey, I actually think everyone in the game is super friendly, but we do have some small casts forming (And hey, I'm in the Avengers one). I love being in a cast, but seeing as how we aren't a huge game, I think it's good for everyone to spread out some CR and I know that sometimes, it's easier to stay in my own comfort zone and tag people I have played with before/who are in my cast. I, therefore, really love random CR events because it forces me to tag around when I might hesitate to do so otherwise. Okay, now back to being a mod.)

However! I know some people are not fans of these types of events so rather than throw one at you without asking around, I wanted to get your opinion. I'll leave the poll up until Saturday, October 13th.

Should We Have A Randomized CR Event?
	Yes, please!
	Yes, but participation should be optional.
	No, this sounds dreaful and I want no part of it.
