It's almost time for 4th Wall Day!
As you know, we have these twice a year-and this years (delayed by a month) is coming up on the 17th and 18th! Due to plot, this will be working very slightly differently than usual, but first, let's get the basics out of the way:
For those of you who don’t know, a 4th Wall Event is where you can respond to anyone’s journal entries (entries for the 17th and 18th of June ONLY, please) using whatever journal you want. Personal, character, dropped character, ANYTHING. Hell, you can tell characters they’re from books/games/movies whatever you want! Anything goes!
YOU CAN:
➝ Use your personal journals.
➝ Bring in character journals from other roleplays. That also includes any characters you may have dropped here that you wish to bring back. You can also make new journals, if that's what you really want. Crack characters will be welcome for the event, so long as they don't break the rules.
➝ Invite your friends to do the same, even if they don’t play at Discedo. Someone can even put an ad up in RPS if they want!
YOU CANNOT:
➝ Use it as an excuse to harass someone or comment on their characterization with ANY of your journals. If you have issues with players or characterization, you bring it to the mods. This goes for any visitors too.
➝ Treat this as game canon. Meaning the next day there's no, “wat the pupcat was that.” We're not a crack based game, and so, this is just for fun. This will all just be a dream to your characters.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE… then don't post. Anything posted will undoubtedly get commented on with fourth wall smashing. If any of these rules are broken, then the mods will handle it - and yes, these rules go for visitors too! Please, don't hesitate to contact us if something goes out of hand.

This event will be happening on the 17th and the 18th of June. However, though it'll be two days long, we also have a few rules to implement. You might not like it, but them's the breaks.
1. Given the amount of characters in the game we ask that PEOPLE LIMIT THEIR CHARACTER'S UPDATES TO ONE EACH FOR THE EVENT'S DURATION. So that means one entry per character of yours over two days. It may suck for some people, but the community is going to get a lot of posts as it is. We want everyone who wishes to participate to have a fair go, and by putting in this limit, we hope that this will be a little more possible.
2. In the same vein -- this is less of a “rule” and more of a request. Please try and include as many people as you can, even if you aren't familiar with their canons. We understand that large events can be really hard to follow at times, but try and get other people involved too. If too many people feel left out, then it's less likely that we'll hold these again-- fourth walls are just for fun, and if people who want to participate can't, then it's no fun for them at all.
3. STAY IC. This IS NOT an excuse to go OOC. You’re still playing your character. Additionally, please follow the rules of the game even for this event. No godmodding or general douchebaggery, please!
4. Lastly, logs in discedo_logs obviously aren't possible, but you're welcome to do comment logs/action spam/whatever you crazy kids wanna call it with people who come in if you wish.
HOW IT WILL WORK:
On June 17th, no matter where your character is, they will find themselves being contacted over the network by new people, or in person. 4th Wall characters can have comment logs, and can "appear" before anyone, anywhere. A character can be in Spero one second, Dissimulo the next! Note that this only applies to 4th wall/not in the game characters; you guys in the game will have to stay put (no magical teleporting!). Feel free to notice everyone else is appearing at will, though; the physics of it really don't matter much. If you try to keep traveling over the two days, you just won't get very far. Landmarks won't appear to get any bigger, and didn't you just pass that rock?
When the two days are up, you'll wake up as usual, having moved no more than 500 feet. As always, character won't remember what happened, but they might have the vague impression that something did, and they're free to notice that it's been two days.
Remember, this starts on the 17th-we'll announce it when it begins! Feel free-in fact, we encourage you do!-to pimp this out to anyone and everyone! Any questions can be asked here!
