EVENT SIGNUP: DO YOU REALIZE?

the basics

As he announced in his recent network post, Winters is planning an expedition out to the lighthouse with the intent of reconnecting the Lighthouse Keeper to the network. The expedition is due to head out during a big ol' party that the forest spirits are planning for the town. Both the expedition and the party are going to require some help from Beacon's new residents, so if you'd like to get involved with that plot directly, this is where to let us know!

Signups are broken into two main categories: The expedition and the party. ICly, Winters will take note of signups and sort groups based on how he thinks the skillsets will be best spread. OOCly, it's random, baby! Mostly. We'll determine the groups via RNG while taking player preferences into account. How many players will be able to get involved depends on how signups go, but our goal is to involve up to half of our current playerbase.

You may sign up your character(s) for both the expedition and the party, though each player will be limited to one character with a role in the event. For example, if you play Characters A and B, you may sign them both up to help with the expedition and the party. It's your name that will go into the RNG drawing, and then if you're chosen to help with the expedition, we'll remove your name from the drawing for the party. TL;DR: Everyone has the same chance to be chosen in the RNG!

Characters do not need to sign up for either group in order to attend the party! Anyone not involved with either of these groups is welcome to enjoy the event as they wish; these signups are just for the expedition and the planning stages of the party.

Signups will close on August 10 at 11:59 PM EST, and we'll post/get in contact with the finalized groups shortly thereafter.

the expedition

The expedition will be further broken into roughly 2-3 teams depending on how signups go. At minimum, there will be one lookout group organized by Leu playing Will and one lighthouse expedition crew led by Mippins playing Winters. With enough hands on deck, we'll be able to form more specific groups, such as support/defense squads to help protect the main lighthouse crew and a more organized system of lookouts stationed at key point throughout town.

The group accompanying Winters to the lighthouse itself will be limited to 3-4 players. Being selected for any role in this event will reduce your chances of being selected for similar opportunities in the future (we want to spread the wealth!), and that's especially true for the Winters crew, given their importance to this part of the plot. You're still welcome to sign up for future plot roles, though we will prioritize players that haven't yet had a chance to be involved.

Every character chosen for a role in the expedition will be at risk for serious injury and potentially death, especially the Winters crew! As Vanitas can attest, venturing past the barbed wire fence near the lighthouse is quite dangerous! Please refrain from signing up for an expedition role if you're not okay with your character dying.

Finally, given the nature of the expedition, only characters with skills relevant to each role will be chosen to participate. However, this doesn't necessarily mean you can't sign up if your character would be an unconventional choice! In the signup form, there's a space to describe your character's skills as relevant to the role(s) you'd like. If you think your character would be an asset to the expedition group despite their lack of survival or combat experience, let us know! We'll do our best to accommodate as wide a range of characters as possible, and if you miss out this time, there will be opportunities in the future to do cool plot stuff.

the party

The expedition is vitally important, yes, but they're not going to get very far without a good distraction, not to mention you'll want to keep on good terms with the forest spirits should things go poorly.

Players chosen for the party planning committee will work with mods Danielle and Kit to set up the party alongside our resident forest spirits. The Postmaster General, the Librarian, and the Vendor are here to help! Party planner responsibilities include all the fun party trimming such as refreshments, entertainment, decorations, and so forth. It may not sound as plot-important as the expedition, but the expedition's success depends heavily on the state of the party! Think of it as a diplomatic affair. A Shruted up flop of a get-together won't show the forest spirits you care much about being a part of their community, while a Gatsby-style all-out bash may just distract the spirits from caring all that much about lighthouse infiltration. They are simple creatures, after all. Wanna food!
