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 points Small pranks 10 points Big pranks 20 points Acts of violence 60 points Betrayal on a personal level, destruction of one's status or economic standing 100 points + all of target's points Murder Targeted Party -5 points Small pranks -10 points Big pranks -20 points Acts of violence -60 points Betrayal 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.
