EVENT ➜ DR. CAPITALISM

OR HOW I LEARNED TO LOVE THE LANDLORD

➜ Do you remember in school when you'd probably pile into the audiotorium and some douche in suspenders would talk to you about how GRRRREEEEEAT!!!!! supporting your school was. Then you'd go back to class and get some catalog of really good-looking food that was really over priced and if you sold, idk, 200000 items you might get to ride in a limo or win a Nintendo?

That's basically what this is.

➜ See, the holidays are a time of giving and also SELL, SELL, SELL!!!!ing. Each inhabitant of Holly Heights will receive the mystical...

HOLLY HEIGHTS WINTER FESTIVITIES CATALOG

Hopefully the prices are reasonable. Just like in elementary school, you have to pimp out as much of this stuff as possible. There is an incentive card that comes with the catalog as well that bears the cheery phrase "Sell to save yourself." Merry Christmas!!!!

➜ The other incentive is gifts. If your character reads the instructions in the catalog, which without reading them the images won't appear inside, it will tell you that based on what items and how many you sell, you'll receive luxury rewards. These will be separated into A, B, C, D, and E and what tier of gift you work up to will be based on points assigned to each item and category. The points will be in increments of 25, until you hit E tier. So A is 25 points, B is 50 points, C is 75 points, D is 100 points. E will jump up to 200. These gifts won't be revealed until later.

➜ There will be a post to keep track of your sales for two reasons

➜ One. Several specific items are rigged with effects, both good and bad. These will not be known until the New Year. So make sure in your comment on the post you list who you sold what to. It would be preferred that you list the specific item but if Character A says "Hey, cis scum, buy some shit from me." and Character B says "Okay, just sell me whatever, you trash.", make sure to be realistic in your recording and you can work out later if you'd like for the effects to...effect hem.

➜ Two. As a bigger scale reward, if the people of Holly Heights can surpass 1500 points, they will receive a gift or something. So keeping your totals up to date is suggested. The math isn't that hard.

➜ Like most events we've had of this nature, in order for your submission to count, you have to provide proof of at least three transactions. This can be a completed thread, a thread in progress, or a thread assumed to be completed. Other transactions can be played out or handwaved while still counting.

➜ The ordering process will work as such: when another character decides to make a transaction, which will happen like all Holly Heights purchases, the items they order will show up wrapped in their mail box with a to and from sticker which has their name and who they ordered from. Each person has a never ending supply of products to give out. Also, as stated in the instructions, ordering from yourself will result in a massive outbreak of hives and puss filled blisters.

➜ The event starts on the 13th and goes through the 26th!

➜ In other news, there will be a post about the annual IC Secret Santa on the 14th. BUT. There will be a thread for you to report to IF you do not want to participate. This can be for any reason you wish, especially for those of us on hiatus. This is to quell people being signed up automatically and then someone is stuck with a dude for a Secret Santa gift giver or giftee. Please make sure to list all characters who won't be involved.

➜ There will also be a more personal post tomorrow about some Things (nothing huge I swear), so watch out for that.

➜ I probably forgot something because I'm tired af. As always, questions go here!
