Thicker Than Blood Plotting Post
Hi guys, it's Lisa. I'm intending to kick off the Thicker Than Blood plot next Monday, just to make sure everyone gets a chance to thread through the Crowning, mini-Arena and rescue plot.
The basics of the plot is that the Capitol is bringing in loved ones and important people to the Tributes as a sort of 'family reunion' television special. Naturally, while it makes for good TV, it's also a not-so-thinly-veiled threat about what could happen to your homeworld should you decide to act up. Some things to know!
- Visitors will not be told that you're competing in death matches. They will instead be told that this is an elaborate dream, and not to worry. Whether they believe that is up to you. Rather than there being a large party, there will be a mod post where the visitors are brought to the relevant District Suites. If your character has a visitor, they will be forced to attend this reunion with their visitor at the very least.
- Once the plot has started, you're encouraged to start your own plots and do open and closed posts. If you want to do a somewhat larger plot, please contact the mods and we'll help you set it up and set up a plotting post in here for it.
- Threads with NPCs will not count towards Activity Check unless there is at least one other PC. You cannot get the new CR bonus for threading with an NPC.
- There will be a mini-Arena with foam weapons.
- Peacekeepers will not be especially effective at protecting visitors or Tributes right now, because they'll be overworked and stretched thin. If you want to get away with low-priority illegal stuff, or possibly kill one of the new houseguests, talk to one of the mods and we can try to accommodate that.
If you are NPCing, please comment here with what character you're NPCing, who you're NPCing them for, and if you are going to create a journal for the character, the journal name. I will also be creating a public NPC journal for players who don't want to create a whole new one.
If someone from outside the game is NPCing, we will set up a sign-up post for them within the next few days. We reserve the right to decline to allow someone from outside the game to participate, such as if they are a previously-banned player.
Exposé characters will receive more information shortly.
