All is not well in Harper Rock. For some, the observation is a gross understatement. The cynics among the city's populace might question 'When is it ever?' Which brings us to November's GM event! The event is an unapologetic PR stunt organized by the collective effort of local city officials and the government alike. With recent tensions running high in the recent aftermath of the attack on Londslade, the city's officials were forced into an inelegant, seamless solution for damage control. The end result? A city wide festival, geared towards improving public morale. It is an obvious bid to mitigate the hysteria and reassure (or pacify?) the public. Proof that things are under control, and that there is nothing to worry about. On the surface, anyway.
Though one has to wonder about the timing. It's long past harvest time, after all. And doesn't it seem as if they're trying just a little too hard?
A few points:
[*]This is a human only event. Classed and pure alike are welcome to participate! I apologize to those without a human character - rest assured there will be other events where human/vampires can mingle.
[*] The thread itself takes place during a single night. The event begins November 18th, and concludes November 25th, at 11:59 PM EST.
[*]You are not required to sign up. This is mainly an announcement to get a rough headcount/answer relevant questions.
[*]This is a moderately GM heavy thread; expect daily to every other day posts from this account to progress the thread forward.
[*]There will be cash prizes/small on-grid prizes for contests of strength won/etc. The rules of the carnival games will be included with the official GM thread, but will be based on a combination of grid stats and successful dice rolls.
[*]Updates may periodically posted to this thread.
Feel free to post any questions here! I will get to them as promptly as possible leading up to the event. Can't wait to see you there!
**Special recognition/shoutouts are owed to Arni for the generous contribution to the thread via header, and to Andie, who was a late night sounding board, who ultimately made necessary suggestions/tweaks and a few unexpected twists to the content herself. And who suggests a carnival while I was still working out the logistics of a state Fair concept.
