EVENT + MINI EVENT → CRAZY CONFECTIONS
This event will be a team event and will involve unlocking certain privileges/punishments for both characters and the game at large. Also, if you were here for the sticker event in July, it's almost essentially the same thing.
➜ Unlike the sticker event, this event will be using a much more cute, wholesome item: macarons.
I'm sure you've seen them before on hipster/cute tumblrs and possibly you've eaten one. They're kind of like moon pies except typically brightly coloured because we as a species love anything filled with dyes and carcinogens.
➜ Each character that you sign up will receive a cute little box with six of the little buggers in there, randomized for your convenience and made with my blood, sweat, and php. Along with the box, there will be a notecard that says something along the lines of "giving is better than getting", though of course more direct. Basically they will all know that if they give these out, good things will come! If you can call anything that happens here good.
Here is what they, and you as well (sort of), will not know:
➜ Each colour of macaron comes with a strange side effect. For instance, the green macaron might leave the eater sick with an illness. Of course, the golden oldies of HH and the more intune and suspicious residents may feel that there maybe something afoot, of course. But it will not be known that these are anything other than macarons. And while, the player, will know that a macaron being a certain colour means a certain thing, you will not know what that thing is until after the event has concluded. This also means that the effects won't start until after the event, most likely starting on April 1st.
➜ Another thing is that depending on how many people give out macarons and how many they give out, certain things may be unlocked. Here is a small schedule.➜ For 50 macarons given away, x event will happen.
➜ For 250 macarons given away, x thing will happen.
➜ For 750 macarons given away, x thing will happen.
➜ For 1000 macarons given away, x thing will happen.
➜ Based on around 200 members, rounding down, multiplied by 6, that's 1200 macarons to give out, even then selling you guys short. So with a little elbow grease, 1000 macarons is easily attainable!
➜ Of course, to monitor your macaron giving and swapping, there will need to be a post. Put up on the day of the event, a post will have a form to fill out for you to show off your mad macaron skills. After the macaron swapping happens and the event ends, the totals will be officially tallied, checked a few dozen times, and the triggered events and effects will be released.
➜ Just like the sticker event, there needs to be assumed proof or actual proof that the macarons were given and which colour was given to whom. Since of course not everyone can slam tags around and make sure they have six complete threads with macarons going on, please have something in your proof thread indicating that the exchange or gift will take place. If it does not, it will not count so don't even put it on the post!
➜ Again, similar to the sticker event, there will also be a written statement detailing that if you eat the macarons yourself, there will be a punishment: the Landlord will send you something gross in your mailbox. You can infomod what the gross thing is, personalized to your character, but if you eat all the macarons, expect six gross things in your mailbox.
➜ To sign up for this event, simply comment to the post with your characters name in the subject header, comment left blank. I will reply with a randomized six macarons.
➜ Also included in the box with the macarons is a separate sheet of paper, tied up like a scroll with a green thread. Reading it will inform your character about a little treasure hunt.
➜ On said sheet of paper will be 5 little poems: possibly couplets, limericks, or just shitty one liners. Who knows yet! But based on the poem, they must look for a hinted at treasure. They don't know, but I'll let you in on the secret. It's a special regain! All of the poems will be about a house, meaning only the places that characters can live. So only the 14##s and the lone 1500 are where characters should look (and they will be told as such). OOCly, I will put under each poem where they should look exactly once they find the house that holds the regain, which again, there will be five.
➜ In order to see if you're right in which house holds a regain, there will be an additional website portion to this event. Using my site, type in the url plus 14##.php. So if you guess 1433 it would look like thishttp://gyuri.royally.org/1433.php While I'm sure some of you know my TCG hosted site and can get a headstart, please refrain since I'm not posting the actual link until the day the event starts for that reason: search for the page in real time!If the page is blank then sorry, not that house. Keep plugging in your guesses until you find a page with the reward. Trust me, you'll know when you see it. Also, to know you at least looked at the page (maybe), there will be a phrase. Please PM it to the mod account to prove you've received your regain.
➜ Yes, I do understand there's ways around the hunt. Typing in all the numbers until you find one, asking a friend who did it, etc. But please, on good faith, try to have fun with the little guessing game event. Also, even though you may have found the rewards page, think about what your character would do. Would they fail at all the poems? Would one character be better suited to one riddle over another riddle? While it's all fun and games to just get what is basically a handout special regain, try to at least apply it to RPing and not just a gimmie gimmie.
➜ As an added note, if your character wants to go for more than one special regain, any searches for a second, third, fourth, fifth will all turn up empty, even if they find the right house.
➜ I'm sure I left something out since I had to do a lot of this last minutes, so please feel free to yell at / punish / ballgag me if I did. Questions can be asked in the question thread!
➜ Also this all starts on the 17th because I'm dumb and forgot to say anything on the post.
➜ Due to error, some of the threads containing randomized macarons can be found here.
