UPCOMING EVENT + MINIGAME SIGNUPS!
Like Beast said, there's going to be a masquerade! Currently, we are on Day 6 of Hometrail, which will end on July 8th. Day 7 will pick up on July 9th, but the masquerade itself will not begin until Tuesday, July 13th. The event will last until Saturday, July 17th.
Action AND prose logging will be allowed for this event. We will provide a post for everyone to thread in, and all threading will be done anonymously. Don't worry, we've got a system all planned out, but we'll explain that a little later so we don't overload everyone with too much information all at once.
This post is primarily for anyone interested in participating in Cid's Masquerade Minigame!
During the masquerade, all characters involved will receive a small roll of paper. Written inside will be a phrase that matches another random participating character's piece of paper. If your character's phrase is "tamarind pineapple," they will have to interact with different anons to find whoever also has a "tamarind pineapple" paper. Essentially, the event is one large memory match game.
Due to everyone being anonymous, characters playing the game will not know what other characters are also playing unless they ask. They might even talk to the same anonymous character multiple times!
We're going to be very lenient on how you all play this out, but there are a few rules and guidelines to keep in mind if you'd like to have you character participate.
1) You may not swap papers with anyone else. Like many things in Beast's castle, these will be enchanted. Trading won't work.
2) You may not "cheat" in finding your partner. As in, your character will not be able to stand on a chair and scream, "WHO HAS TAMARIND PINEAPPLE?" If they attempt to do this, they will find themselves temporarily mute before they can even say their phrase. This mute phase will last for roughly five minutes.
3) You may not question spam characters. You know how a chat will temporarily silence you if you scroll your messages too quickly? This is basically the same concept. Characters will not be able to rapid-fire jump from character to character and ask if they have a match. Like #2, punishment for doing so will be temporary muteness. Take the opportunity to dance, anonymously flirt, or make a little smalltalk first!
The game will last until the end of the masq. If your character manages to find their match before time is up, they'll be rewarded!
If you want your character involved in the minigame, let us know here. There will be no limit on how many characters can play, but MINIGAME SIGNUPS WILL CLOSE ON THURSDAY, JULY 8TH. Once signups have closed, we'll pair everyone off at random and decide on phrases for each pair. BUT, we will not give you your phrases until the day of the masquerade.
If anyone has any questions about Beast's castle, the minigame, or hometrail in general, they're welcome here.
