intercom_voiceThis month's event is going to be different than all the others! It's going to be properly mod-hosted, involve puzzles, and first-come-first-serve riddle solving! The goal? It's mid-terms--time to break down the barrier! Oh, what wonders will lie in the outside world...?
Our basic break down so far is (and subject to change):
>The Voice hands out 1 of 5 riddles to unique groups of two(?)
>Groups are given maps of the Island and the Campus
>They must then try to find the specified location by solving the riddle
>Once character arrive at a location they will wait for IC confirmation from a mod to know if they've found the right area or not, and then they can commence searching or have NPC (mod) interaction. Mods will enter on occasion with hints if characters are searching without an NPC.
>Once the puzzle is found, the characters must report back to the Voice. Once all puzzles are found, a new post will go up for puzzle solving.
We will be dividing up the location finding and the riddle solving into two different posts--i.e. once all the riddles are solved we'll open up the puzzles for everybody to have a shot at too. Please let us know what you think about that!
THIS EVENT WILL HAVE A TIME LIMIT OF ONE WEEK. Groups that take too long run the risk of having another group reach the area and find the puzzle first. So please, stay relatively on topic. Remember this is your mid-term. All top-levels and threads should involve the search some how, but we WILL be making a top-level for mingling and questions.
Characters will break up into groups of two (feel free to plan ahead or just tag a random person), and will likely be restricted to only one-group at a time until that group fails or succeeds. That, or we might encourage thread-jacking for this event so groups of more than two can go looking at once. We're not sure about this, which is why were need your comments!
This event will happen during the week of the 20th, as opposed to the 15th, because we really need to iron some stuff out.
