poolside | EVENT ➜ THE LUCK OF THE DOUCHE

GREEN WITH (INSERT SOMETHING HERE)

This Holly Heights event will be luck and chance related both in game and how the event will be set up.

➜ This Holly Heights event will be luck and chance related both in game and how the event will be set up.

➜ In this particular event, players will have to come up with five unlucky things and five lucky things for their characters to experience. These can be either permanent (for the event) or only last a certain amount of time. For example, a lucky occurrence could be "Makishima finds five dollars on the ground everywhere he goes" and an unlucky event could be "Lily goes bald for three days".

➜ What's the point of this creativity? On specific days throughout the event, a roulette wheel of chance will spin and characters will have to experience these events in game. The specific days for these events will be the 14th, the 17th, the 19th, the 22nd, and the 25th.

➜ If you don't get the gist, here's a good example that shows what will happen:

Let's say that Makoto has five unlucky and five lucky events associated with him and they are written in a sign up comment. On the 14th, the comment will be replied to with a determination of whether this is a lucky day or an unlucky day for him, meaning one of the events will be triggered. Here are some examples from this hypothetical list:

UNLUCKY
14th: Breaks a bone
17th: A friend becomes mad at him for a few days

LUCKY
14th: Someone he likes kisses him
17th: He is gifted with a pie

On the 14th, the comment will read something like "Congrats! Today's your lucky day! You'll be kissed by someone you like." Today has been a lucky day for Makoto. This event can happen ANYTIME during the event itself.

On the 17th, Makoto will then experience an unlucky day; "Oops. Looks like your luck isn't that great. You'll make a friend angry somehow." Hopefully the specific example helps you understand the event a little better.

➜ For those who can't come up with a concrete set of pratfalls and highs, you can also help make some general wacky scenarios of your own. Go to this comment and contribute some unlucky events and some lucky ones that can be randomized for those who can't come up with anything or would rather see their characters go through something a little more spotty. If you aren't comfortable or can't work with the event that you were given, simply ignore it. Try to be malleable, though.

➜ The events that you choose CAN be specific to certain characters, both in your own sign ups and in the event creation thread, but only with player permission. For instance, you can't go and put "Nagisa blows you" in the event creation comment section unless that player says yes, Nagisa is a sex freak and would gladly blow anybody. Just as an example.

➜ Signing up requires filling out a form and commenting in TWO places.

First: comment here with only your name in the subject line and the comment blank. This is where mods will tell you about your fortune for the day. This is so you can edit your event comments freely. Do NOT forget to make a response comment or you cannot participate.

Second: comment to this thread with the following form. You don't have to come up with all events immediately, but you SHOULD get them in as the days pass. Your 14th events should be in your comment before the 14th gets here (CST).

Character Name: Response Comment: <a href=""></a> (this is the comment asked to be made above) LUCKY EVENTS 14th: 17th: 19th: 22nd: 25th: UNLUCKY EVENTS 14th: 17th: 19th: 22nd: 25th:

➜ If you want to use randomized player made events, just simply put the word RANDOM in place of an event.

➜ Any questions should be directed here!

THE STATE OF SHIT

➜ People still haven't gotten their gift paid accounts. Totally my bad. I get paid on Friday and will be giving out six instead of three. For real this time. Pinky promise.

➜ Also, some Things happen and I kind of let the LL inbox slip a little. ICly, the Landlord was on a gay cruise and will come back home to answer all his mail ASAP.
