August Event Personalization Form


Mysteriously, the website that characters visit seems to know quite a bit about them, and the blurbs convincing each to take part in the hunt for happiness points are specially tailored to each individual's desires. In addition to that, as your character climbs to the top - or falls to the bottom - the site may change to reflect your character's new standing. Due to this, we are asking that all players fill out a form detailing their character's motivations, fears, desires, and dreams.

Character: Your character's name!
Info: Link us to their info post!
Desires / Wishes: What's important to your character? If they could make a second wish, what sort of wish would they make? Are there any people who are really important to them? Anyone here? Anyone back home?
Insecurities/Fears: What keeps your character awake at night? What do they worry about?
Status: How are they doing in Nyoi-cho? Have they been here long? What have they been up to in their time here? What sorts of things have they been looking into? Do they have any questions about the magi experience or about the town that they've been trying to find answers to?

August Event Details


Early in the month, all characters will receive a mysterious message that contains a link to a website pushing forth a very unique ideology: happiness is a finite resource that must be actively fought over.

The Website

All magi, upon clicking on the link, will find that they are already logged in and have a profile that can be viewed by only them. Said profile will contain information of their full name, a photograph, and a number next to a column titled "POINTS." In addition to that, depending on who the viewer is, the message on the main page will be slightly personalized to reflect their innermost desires.

Site Personalization

Since the site tailors its main page and messages to each individual reader, please leave us a comment in this post detailing your character's desires, insecurities, and fears. Or, if you would like to opt out of site personalization, simply skip over leaving us a comment!

Points System

According to the site, happiness can only be obtained through robbing another person of their happiness. With that in mind, the site has set up a points system that actively encourages visitors to harm each other and promises wonderful rewards for those who reach a certain amount of points. The points system is as follows.

Targeting Party
5 pointsSmall pranks
10 pointsBig pranks
20 pointsActs of violence
60 pointsBetrayal on a personal level, destruction of one's status or economic standing
100 points + all of target's pointsMurder


Targeted Party
-5 pointsSmall pranks
-10 pointsBig pranks
-20 pointsActs of violence
-60 pointsBetrayal on a personal level, destruction of one's status or economic standing
If point balance in the positives, lose all points AND -100; otherwise, -100 points
Murder


Those with a positive amount of points will grow exponentially luckier the higher their points get, while those with a negative amount of points will grow exponentially unluckier the lower their points get. By default, all characters will begin with 0 points unless they opt into rolling for a negative or positive amount of points here and here, respectively. Please be mindful of one major caveat that comes with having the highest amount of points, however: the website's main page will always display the picture and name of the person with the highest amount of points and encourage visitors to go after that person in order to get the most amount of points.

Please note that, unless you character ICly receives a ranking list from the site in a mod post, no one can ICly see the points of anyone other than themselves and the person in first place.

In Summation...

» The event will begin with a text message!
» ICly, there will be a points system that incentivizes character participation and affects the fortunes of the characters.
» Characters can play pranks on NPCs for points as well, but the site makes it clear that the main participants are magi. In addition to that, any major acts of violence that are carried out on NPCs should be run by the mods first.

If you have any further questions about this event, please leave them here.
