EVENT ➜ WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN
This month's event will involve two things which I hope will excite everyone: 1) a team event and 2) an event where a log isn't required. I know a lot of y'all aren't about the logging. This is an event, however, where you could probably make use of a lot of individual logs, though how you play it out is completely up to you!
➜ This month's event will involve two things which I hope will excite everyone: 1) a team event and 2) an event where a log isn't required. I know a lot of y'all aren't about the logging.
➜ On Monday, team members will receive a packet in the mail that details their involvement, team information, and rules for the event. Each Holly Heights resident, regardless of their consent, will receive this information as well as a coloured keychain with a simple design style (a small coloured disc without any other markings). This keychain can be displayed or kept hidden; it's simply up to the character's discretion.
➜ Teams are sorted by color: Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Green, Purple, Pink, and Black. Your team assignment is displayed on the taken list and should be obvious to you. If you would like your specific characters to be more diverse, reply to this thread so that they can be randomized elsewhere. However, when the event starts all team positions will be finalized. I ALSO HOPE THAT YOU DO NOT DO THIS BECAUSE WE HAVE EIGHT COMPLETELY EVEN TEAMS AND THAT IS SO CHOICE so I strongly suggest if you want to move, you find someone to swap with you so we keep things Even Steven.
Note: Just because your character has an assigned color doesn't mean they have to participate. How do you participate, though? Let's continue:
➜ The information packet will explain that this event will be based on task completion and reward. Poker chips will be given to players who complete certain tasks given daily. The standard values are 1, 5, 25, 100, and 500. If you were on the boat excursion, you received a 200 chip. This is an advantage for your team during the event.
➜ When a task is completed, the resident receives the corresponding chip in the mail. At the end of the event, a teams total amount of chips will be tallied and the team with the most chips wins. Other teams will then fall into second through eighth place. The first four places win awards that are in scale with their place. The four last place teams will receive punishments in accordance with their place.
➜ Here's an example of an event day:
Kotetsu receives his three tasks for the day. They are worth 5, 100, and 1 respectively. He completes the 1 and 5 tasks easily but has difficulty with the 100 task, leaving it incomplete for the day. The next day he receives three additional tasks to be completed for the day as well as his 5 and 1 chips for completing the tasks from the previous day.
TL;DR Complete tasks, earn chips, get prizes. Pretty simple, right?
➜ An added snafu will be present intermittently. Occasionally one days mail will ask residents to offer up a possible risk/reward or punishment type scenario. One day a letter may ask team members to pay 100 points to sabotage one person or a team in general. Other days a chip lottery may take place with teams winning based on their choices. On days like this, specific rules will go up to explain them more clearly. This will just let you know not everything is fun and games!
➜ During the second week of the event, a setting change will happen: Holly Heights will become an island for one week, meaning the setting will be more tropical and the entire area will be surrounded by a beach. More concrete setting specifics will be available on the first day of the setting change.
➜ This event does involve keeping trask of (gasp) numbers so be prepared for that. To save you time and to give me peace of mind when tallying all this crap up, there is a post for keeping track of your totals. Underneath your team's thread, post your comment and keep track of your daily earnings and either keep a total running throughout the event or add up your winnings at the end of the event. The winning teams and finally tally will be put up at the start of September.
Any and all questions, 'cuz I know you got 'em, can go here!
➜ An event log for chocolate making as per the job survey post will go up sometime later in the month. Watch out for it!
➜ Tessa will be replying to the last job post and my apologies for being sparse with her the past week+. You may have seen my OOC post about current situations happening, and thank you to those who said something and/or are understanding!
➜ In a final piece of Tessa related news, she has an IC inbox now!

And second question...I'm assuming backtagging the daily tasks is okay right? Or does each thing have to be started on that day? I may be over thinking this |D

Also, yes that is fine! Backtagging is definitely fine and encouraged.
