MOD POST: JULY EVENTS + TAKEN LIST

Hey everyone! It's that time again: the monthly event rundown!

As usual, first we have a couple other things to cover.

1. As a reminder: Activity Check goes up on the 26 and Reserves are already open!

2. We've made a decision about the canon point field! We'll be changing the table template to incorporate canon point and look a bit cleaner in the next day. At that point, we'll be asking all players to comment to be added again. However to make things easier on everyone, we'll include the form in the AC post! That way it'll all be in one place and it'll be easier to remember to fill it out. That should streamline things for everyone. We'll also place the new form on the new taken page so that incoming characters in the July round will be good to go.

And now for the events! July is a busy month and the last month before the overarcing plot kicks in a bit more for awhile, but the events are lighthearted and easy to skip for the most part, so don't panic!

On Day 107 / July 3-4, characters will wake to find themselves a little different... on their faces at least. Characters who normally sport a beard will find themselves clean-shaven without the slightest sign of stubble. Characters who normally don't have one will find themselves granted a beard that won't go away. Cut it and it grows back within seconds! This can be any kind of beard from a landing strip to a floor-length curtain, but it will be stuck there all day. Mustaches may be included as well! If your character has a mustache and no beard normally, it's up to you whether to add a beard or remove the mustache. This event applies even to girls and little kids -- everyone! It is also 100% opt-in. In other words, your characters don't have to be effected unless you want them to be!

Some beard type references can be found here and here!


On Day 109 / July 7-8, a few characters are running an IC effort to beautify the city after the flood destroyed low vegetation. This is a player miniplot, and details can be found here! Please direct questions to that post and the muns running the miniplot.


On Day 111-Day 113 / July 11-15, it's time for another House Contest! This time, the open grass area of Gefion Park will be set up like a middle school field day or sports festival event! Participation is optional, but should characters choose to join in on the fun they'll be able to compete in nine different events throughout the three days. The events will be space so that everyone could participate in all of them if they so wished, and are themed on the Gods. The thing is, they aren't all typical sports events... things might get a little weird!

There will be a large sign displaying the prizes for winning events. The individual winner of each event will receive their choice of either a closet-full of nice clothes to their taste (brands and style from home allowed) or a lifetime supply of nice food to their taste (things from home again allowed -- the food would appear in the Welcome Hall kitchen only for them, or in their home if they have paid housing). The second place winners will receive their choice of a free day at Folkvang or a voucher for up to two gold runes (roughly $200) at Sky's Prize. These businesses are described here!

Beyond that, the House that gets the most win points (each first place winner counts for two points and each second place counts for one) will be the total "winner" of the event! The prize for the winning House is also on the sign and will be each character's choice of: a pet (dog, cat, or rabbit) or non-motor transportation (a bicycle, roller blades, or skateboard -- all very high quality and impervious to damage).

The events will take place three each over the three days of the event. On the nights in between, there will be live music, dancing, and feasting. The events are as follows, with more details to come in the log at event time:

Day 111: Odin, Thor, Loki events:
Spelling Bee: just like grade school!
Drinking Contest: the last one sitting straight wins!
Disguise Contest: NPC judges determine who looks least like themselves!

Day 112: Sigyn, Hel, Heimdall events:
Hot-dog eating Contest: who can eat the most?
Battle Royale: last person unbloodied wins!
Obstacle Course: race to the finish!

Day 113: Freyr, Freya, Baldr events:
Talent Show: NPC judges choose the winners!
Beauty Pageant: NPC judges pick the prettiest Travellers!
Arm Wrestling Tournament: show off your guns!

All characters are welcome in any event. Which events you participate in are not at all determined by your House. Characters who live in Paid Housing and win events still have their points credited to the House their powers come from, and wins can't be donated to other Houses. Winners will be determined by checking into this mod comment and asking to be granted the win. You may sign up any time before July 11 no matter how many others have! We'll do our best to be fair and determine the winners by a combo of randomization and likelihood to win given their abilities. We're sorry they have to be chosen in advance, but it's for clarity's sake.


On Day 118-119 / July 25-28, you'll find Loki's pulled another prank on everyone. Travellers will wake up in one another's bodies, as if their minds have been swapped! This is a standard body swap event! Characters will swap in pairs (as in if Alan Wake were to wake up as Conan Edogawa, Conan would have to wake up as Alan). However for maximum fun, you may optionally have your character switch with a different person for each IC day (for up to two swaps total: one July 25-26, one July 27-28). All swaps must be between Travellers -- no NPCs or pets allowed. Beyond that, it's entirely up to you what happens! This event is all 100% opt-in.


That's it for this month! Questions should be directed to the mod comments below as usual!

Totally interested! Bodyswapping with someone they don't know can make things even more fun. And totally awkward considering the actual bodies being swapped, but still.

I don't think I'm doing anything special for any of these events but O'Brien will probably do that observing thing he does the entire time?? He might get a beard in the first event but he probably won't do anything in particular, just question what god thought this was a good idea...

During the Olympics if any of you guys need your characters dragged somewhere before they kill somebody (battle royale, man, battle royale) he can do that! Eventually he'll probably be stuck in the hospital making sure nobody dies or at least breaks multiple limbs, so if they need help he's cool for that too.

And I've not nothing planned for the body swap event and I think he's going to be supervising all his cr again (why is most of his cr so immature...) but if you guys have any ESPECIALLY WACKY ideas I may be up for that.
integrous: (never made it up to minnesota)

[personal profile] integrous 2012-06-25 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
uh maybe it's him being too mature instead of his cr being immature!!!
doomfire: (first)

[personal profile] doomfire 2012-06-25 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
YEAH THATS....PROBABLY TRUE i don't think there has ever been a situation in both canon and in this game where o'brien has had fun, ever. he is literally No Fun.

wow that's amazingly accurate

sob I don't have any really solid plans for Machiavelli yet, and the only competition I can see him entering is the battle royale. Though I'm open to bodyswapping suggestions if anyone really wants an Italian.

Other than that he's probably just going to be creeping on everyone and making anonymous text posts about politics.

Character Name ; Buffy Summers
House ; Thor
Canon ; Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Event ; Battle Royale
Skills ; Even without her Slayer powers (and aside from them), she’s also one hell of a fighter. She’s retained all of the knowledge from slaying and all of her training to know her way around a martial arts movie (or ten…). Because of her background in this, she has excellent proficiency in a number of weapons, from archaic to modern (though she prefers the former and tends to think that guns are wastes of time.) She does have the super strength that Thor's granted her, so... On top of her amazing fighting skills and weapons knowledge, there's that. In her favor.
battled: (Default)

Character Name ; Tifa Lockhart.
House ; Freya.
Canon ; Final Fantasy VII.

Event ; Arm Wrestling.
Skills ; Tifa is a badass who has extensive training in combat and martial arts, particularly hand to hand, and her arms/hands/fists are her greatest weapons in a fight. She's a lot tougher than her sweet smile might let on ;D

Character name: Shion
House: Sigyn
Canon: No.6

Event: Spelling Bee
Skills: Shion was a child prodigy, accepted as an elite citizen and placed into extremely advanced schooling at the age of two due to his placement on intelligence assessments. While his track in was ecology as opposed to literature, the school system managed to teach their students about a wide variety of fields before the age of 12, and thus Shion knows a little bit of everything.... that an incredibly advanced dystopian society would teach him, that is.

However, to make up for the lack of literature (aside from textbooks, he's had never read a hard copy book in his life), he recently begun spending all of his free time reading a wide variety of books (mostly classics such as Shakespeare, Faust, classic poetry, etc.), and continued to do so after arriving in Asgard. He reads a book or two a day without question, and seeing as that he can memorize long sequences of numbers after glancing at them once and recite or recognize a fair amount of literary quotes after only reading them once, it seems fair to say that he wouldn't forget the spelling of a word once he's read it. Naturally, biological, medical, or otherwise scientific words would be fairly easy to him, and though he may not understand a lot of more modern terms, it seems likely that he would be able to spell a good portion of them or at least pick apart their roots and to give them an educated guess. Being able to rattle off the scientific names of plants and animals without any issues is helpful, okay. Really.

tl;dr because I can't seem to not write essays, HE'D DO WELL. Somewhere in the top 5 or 10, I would say, if not higher depending on the participants?

Chie is going to be everywhere in July! She'll probably be participating in the Arm Wrestling contests (possibly Battle Royale and/or Hot Dog Eating too?), so that's that! And she'll be everywhere during Arbor Day with her dog. All the helping!! IT IS ALSO HER BIRTHDAY ON THE 30TH. I don't know how I'll translate that to Asgard time (or how she'll...be aware of the date in the first place...), but dammit, something's going to happen for her big 18th.

Meanwhile, Hope will probably be a butt and... not do anything unless someone pushes him into doing so. He's just not in the best place because he's dealing with a lot of Things right now, okay. 8( I'm totally up for people bothering him, though.

ALSO I'M COMPLETELY OPEN TO ALL BODYSWAP SHENANIGANS. Come at me, bros.

For Shiki

....he's swapping with Shirou for the body swap and is going to act like a complete moron just because.

For the Olympics, him and Shirou are gonna team up and do extreme cooking. Anyone wanna eat their delicious food that will come from it? It actually will be really good food.

Did someone say 'smelling bee'? No?

Terezi will be participating in the games one way or another.

Character Name: Ichigo Kurosaki
House: Thor
Canon: Bleach

Event: Battle Royale
Skills: WELP. Ichigo has basically been fighting hand to hand (it's implied he's at least a black belt in karate, since he boats he was able to beat tatsuki until highschool when he was a freshman. Tatsuki competes at a national level.) most of his life, and swordfighting for a good few years, but he's quickly become very good at it. He's also used to fighting very fast, and so has developed super fast reflexes, even without his powers. Not only this, but Ichigo's super determined, and wouldn't lose without one hell of a fight. Possibly even keep going when he really shouldn't. WHOOPS.
suppressthedark: (What is I don't even)

[personal profile] suppressthedark 2012-06-25 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ichigo is gaining a goatee for this event. HE'D WILLING SWAP IF HE COULD.
suppressthedark: (Long enough to edify)

[personal profile] suppressthedark 2012-06-25 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh, that plot sounds fun (and ichigo has ample experience with dark sides, believe me. Hichi) I'd totally love to toss the berry her way then!
failures: (uwaaaah)

suppressthedark: (You waste money on that kind of junk)

HEY. LOSER. WANT TO ARM WRESTLE?
deadcenter: (Peace off!)

[personal profile] deadcenter 2012-06-25 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
UM

Senji is going to all over the place. Drinking contest? Heck yes, he'll try and mop the floor with whoever dares challenge this big muscle head. Hot dog eating? Why the fuck not. Battle royale?

...Definitely something he has to do. If it's anything like the Carnival Corpse, he'll be laughing about it and having a good ol time trying to rip apart people!!!

Arm wrestling? Fuck dat shit it's over dawg, Crow is taking the gold.

For body swapping, he'll probably be swapping with Chie, maybe.
