Event: A Land of Our Own

[shadowboys]

Hello, players! As you already know, the game is moving! The situation the candidates will find themselves in, after the move, has been built entirely around the results of the signatures. For the record, over 75% of the people who replied to the OOC post replied that their characters would be signing.

On March 1, a narration and event log will go up, explaining things in greater detail. For now, here are some FAQs about what your characters will be doing in the time leading up to the move.

What can my character pack?
Whatever your character can carry (or convince another PC to carry for them). The Nysgods and NPCs will not be helping characters to carry anything. So, no, you can't bring your bed from Gebo...unless you want to haul it.

You mentioned that bed from Gebo...can my character steal stuff?
Absolutely! The people of Gebo will probably chalk up missing equipment or inventory to a miscalculation and pull extra shifts to compensate for it, as long as they don't see the stolen equipment or see the actual theft. In other words, keep it quiet and keep it hidden. No. No bed. But take as many uniforms as you wish.

Hey, my character got one of those handy-dandy carpet bags that's bigger on the inside. Can they take more stuff than they can carry?
They can take what they can fit into the bag. The mods are not going to police the limits there. We're all intelligent adults, we're going to trust you. A character with a bag could certainly barter favors with someone who needs packing room, however. If your character does not have a bag and needs something to pack in, they will be offered a regular suitcase. Nothing magical about it.

Do I need to declare what my character is packing?
No. We're not going to mod or police that. But it will be helpful for you to have a sense of what your character has with them.

Do characters still need to go to work?
No more than they ever needed to. They are more than welcome to continue working, if they'd like to save up credits to buy extra stuff, but no one will force them.

How will the characters be moving to the new location?
Nysgod magic. All characters will be rounded up into the same area, the day of the event. This does mean that all characters will be together. If your character has been avoiding someone else, they still can. We figure the area will be pretty crowded, so it'll be easy to duck out of sight. Again, we're going to trust you.

What if my character wants to stay in Gebo?
Obviously, the Nysgods can't force a character to leave. That said, we will strongly encourage you to find a reason for your character to go. There will be no moderated events in Gebo once the game setting changes and travel between cities is more or less a no-go for PCs (at present, subject to change). You will have exceedingly limited opportunities for RP if your character stays behind.

What's the new setting going to be like?
That's a very good question. Unfortunately, no characters can seem to get much of an answer. Skokan is vague at best, mostly referring to it as "empty" and "unsettled" and "a plane." OOC, we just don't want to ruin any of the surprises too much. Because there are going to be surprises. A lot of them. Seriously. Trust us.

Hey, Skokan was talking about something along the lines of "Carved Out." What the heck does that mean?
Carving Out is the Nysgod ceremony that ends a Nysgod's life. You can read more about it here. This is all common and public knowledge, readily available to anyone who asks around.

Hold up! My character is totally new and has no idea what's going on!
What a great CR-building opportunity. Talk to the PCs and handwave what you wish from the NPCs.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaait! I still have questionsssssssss!
Ask them here. Once again, we are trying to get away from using plurk to answer mod questions.
