Day 4, 5, and 6.

Post by Cearnach » Tue Jan 14, 2025 5:06 am

Day flip is tomorrow at 12-1:00 CST, as usual. But, as Shosuro Eiji has noted in GM Questions, Day 4,5, and 6 is different than all the other days.

Two momentous things will be happening simultaneously. They mark the end of the beginning of the game. The first is the mini-adventure that is presaged by the Hidden Emperor event today. The four characters that are chosen for that event will be having a choose-your-own-adventure style experience on the river and in Ryoko Owari. It will take them all three days to travel, do what they need to do, and get back. However, because this is handled in a series of scripted Events and short scenes, it will only take them the normal 3 IRL days to complete (if they are efficient!).

Meanwhile, we here at court will be having our own momentous experience. That experience will happen late on D4. Court will then suspend for two days: Day 5 and 6. On each of those two days, you will be permitted to join 1 scripted thread and make 1 thread of your own. They can be in the same spaces as threads you made on D4. They can be in the same timeslot as a thread you made on D4. That's because they will be on D5 and D6, even though you are playing them simultaneously with D4.

The only challenging part of the experience will be remembering not to comment on the momentous event until your character becomes aware of it in the 1st scripted D5 thread.

Q: What do you mean by scripted thread?
A: Just that we wrote the start of it already and will post it.

Q: Are you going to stagger the posting of D5 and D6's threads?
A: No, we believe that you can handle playing your character not knowing one thing on D4 and then playing them knowing that thing on D5 and D6 simultaneously. You got this!

Q: What happens if the adventure team doesn't finish in 3 IRL days?
A: They will. We will help them to do so.

Ah ok, so to make sure I understand we will have:

Normal Day 4. Late in Day 4 Something momentous Happens
Day 5: Join 1 scripted thread, make one thread of your own
Day 6: Join 1 scripted thread, make one thread of your own

All of these running at the same time, yes?

The tagging of day in the thread title helps enormously!

Thanks for the clarity.

So, my understading is - just to confirm - after the day flip, treat D4 like a normal day in terms of all time slots and places are available, and you can take action in as many usual time slots as you aren't sleeping.

Then, at the same time, pick what you did on D5, join only one scripted with a D5 tag, and feel free to start only one personal thread with a D5 tag, using only the D5 threads as a barrier to place/time.

Then, at the same time, pick what you did on D6, join only one scripted with a D6 tag, and feel free to start only one personal thread with a D6 tag, using only the D6 thread as a barrier to place/time.

And all such threads RP for the same 3 real life days.

Correct me if any of that is wrong, but I think I'm following.

Just a heads up and a word of advice: there is a *bunch* going on, so referring back to the Weather thread to keep track is a really good idea.
