Path of the Vampire forum

You are hereby invited to spend the evening aboard the Black Agony at the Cimmerian in honor of Tytonidae’s Fourth Anniversary. On November 28th, at 6 p.m. eastern, please join us for an evening of dancing, games, trivia and more in formal attire in complete anonymity. Behind the mask, you can be anyone you want to be within your wildest dreams. Food and drink will be provided. An Eirene’s Will be cast upon the vessel for all to feel safe amongst each other and to keep everyone from physical and power harm. Bring a friend or two, and we hope to see you there. At the end of the evening, a lucky door prize (Ring of Necrocognition) will be drawn - and you won’t want to miss out.

[OOC - How this will work: On the night of the event, members of Tytonidae will be posting the link to the mibbit chat room. We have decided to do it this way in hopes others will stop in without the worry of attack, or to spend your energy. Rather than log in with your character name, you will sign in with an alias (ex. Avian, Raptor, etc.) to keep up the event choice of a masquerade.

We will also be posting a google doc for anyone to edit and put their masquerade alias, and if you choose to, your character’s outfit and mask. For the door prize, you must PM your IGN to Every or Velveteen on the forum by the end of the event to have your characters name in the raffle! If you have any questions, please contact Velveteen or Every!]

As it says above, this is open to everyone in the game, humans and vampires alike. Please let's keep the Ty bashing out of this thread as it's not the place. Thanks. Any questions can be answered here!

How will powers be taken into account for (IE... Appraisal and Read Memories being able to disclose identities) within the event?

Preferably, people should primarily not be constantly guessing who is who. It kind of ruins the event itself, and takes away the fun because the event itself is supposed to be a way for everyone to get to know others without having to fear who the other person is - we'd like to encourage people to get to know the characters of Tytonidae without judgement and vice versa.

Because the "true identities" would be kept secret until the last 30 (+/-) minutes and grid appraisal/read memories would be impossible without the character name. It might also be frowned upon, anyway, from some characters so it might be best to not try to use them.

So kind of a 'it's not convenient, so let's pretend that it doesn't work the way it does' approach?

The Mods are watching this thread.

Why would anyone read memories/appraise people?

Would your characters know who to appraise or who's memories to listen to?

Example: Elizabeth attends the event. She's just going to what? Start guessing who is and isn't there?
"I'll skim into the memories of so and so, so and so and oh, maybe so and so is there." That's a lot of wasted time on her end.

Appraisal would tell someone what? It's a power that tells someone how strong/weak a character is, etc, etc.

No not really. But the way it will be set up is that you wont know who to appraise or who's memories to read so ...it just wont work. I guess if you have another way of explaining it that will work for RP purposes then go for it?

I actually had to look at what read memories was, cause I thought it was 'big, important' events.

Allows you to read key memories of your target by viewing their alert log (some information is restricted, such as telepathic messages, bank and item transfers, and grid messages).

I'd say anything that's not in alert log, you'd have to get permission to rp as knowing otherwise it's godmodding/powerplaying. So changing into a mask, wearing a certain colored dress, etc, etc...not in an alert log.

but that's just my .02

It sounds fun. I'll try to have Alexandrea attend if it's possible. :)

Eye Spy, Tracking, Triangulate, Aura Tracking...the list goes on; need I continue?
